That's a good question. My name is also missing, even though I submitted it a long time ago. And yes, it was approved.

First post here, I've recently bought the Name in the Game tier.
I have a few (probably dumb) questions:
    - Is there a deadline for submitting my Name, rap-sheet etc.
    - I'm not to bothered about having my face in the game, my wife would kill me if I spent that much even if i did want it in there, but I would like my name to be on a prisoner with the correct colour skin. (i'm not racist, I just don't want to be a black dude :wink:). Is there anyway to ensure this?
    - I've seen a few successfully name in the game submissions and a few of them have additional info like Bodytype, Bodyscale and ID. Are these from people with the "Digital-Immorto_Criminalise Your Face" tier? - and if not where/how do i submit this additional info?
Thank you in advance for your answers to my no doubt idiotic questions.

Brodie :wink:

None has been mentioned.

Prisoners are generated randomly. Your name could appear on a prisoner with any skin colour and body type.

Yes.

Is there any chance of getting the 250 character limit increased? I noticed somebody got around it already (probably doing a raw POST request). I wrote this beautifully long 250 *word* bio before I realized the limit was in characters, not words. 250 characters really isn't a lot.

Given that the box in which the bio will be displayed in the game is rather small, it might be better to obey the 250 character limit and rewrite your bio. It might not be a lot, but it is enough to do something interesting. And if you aren't interesting, not even 250 words is going to solve the problem.

Haha, well said.

250 characters is plenty. After all, Hemingway wrote the shortest story ever using only six words.

Well, I got it down to 250 words and it was just approved:

Weller developed a computer virus able to stab people in the face over the internet, targeting those who left Marmite stains in his butter. A software glitch during a test run caused the death of 14 Filipino orphan children and their English teacher.


The longer back-story version I made before realizing my mistake:

In 2007, while under the employment of British intelligence agency GCHQ, Weller invented a technique for stabbing people in the face over the internet.

Planning to use this technology as a force for good rather than evil, Weller worked for many months in secret, meticulously crafting and perfecting "Bertha": a computer virus equipped with the face-stabbing technology, and designed to target people who leave Marmite stains in the butter.

Two days before Bertha was to be unleashed, a fatal software glitch during a test run caused the death of 14 Phillipino orphan children and their English teacher.

During Weller's trial, computer forensic experts testified that the glitch had been caused by an extraneous semicolon in the program's source code listing. Weller blamed the mistake on the source code editor of Apple's Xcode software, claiming the program had done it deliberately because of a "minor falling out between us". Experts in the matter were unable to verify these claims.


Maybe somebody can make a "share your Bios" thread.

So I submitted my name several months ago and its been sitting in the un-authorized list ever since. Is it just a matter of waiting before it gets approved, or is there something further I need to do in terms of editing/fixing something I had submitted?

I submitted my name some time around february (at least I think it was :P) and later upgraded to the Face in the game tier for which I sent in my pictures in june. Alpha 14 finally has my name and face in it, so yes, it's just a matter of waiting a long time xD

Birthdate and Name?

Postby wUndertUnge » Thu Oct 03, 2013 8:08 pm

Is it safe to even put your full birthday and full name into the game?

It is as safe (or unsafe) as doing so in any other context online. It might be wise to use a different name and it would definitely be wise to fudge your birthday.

Wow, I finally get my face in the game, only to have this happen to me... First day in prison, I get beaten into unconsciousness by none other than Chris Delay himself :shock: Maybe he didn't like some of my comments on the forums? xD
