Yeah, it's the same way in my precinct. We have 4 state constitutional amendments and 1 county tax referendum on the ballot. A couple of the amendments are really divisive and there's no real clear yes or no to them. But at least this time there aren't any to change the state flag. We've had that one before; the last time, they tried to make the Confederate battle flag our state flag again. Only in Georgia...

As for how to change one's game avatar, it's pretty easy...if you're willing to connect your game to your Facebook account. Just tap on the Facebook login box under your game name in the upper left. A dialog box will pop-up for you to login in to your Facebook account. I always check the "keep me logged in" box on this screen. Once you're logged in, you'll get a second pop-up asking you to share on Facebook. I always cancel out of this one. Lastly, click on your avatar in the upper left in game and scroll to find your Facebook profile picture in the options. Tap to select it then tap Save. Your avatar should be changed to your Facebook profile picture. If others can't see it, just close the game and then re-open it...that should work to reset it for everyone viewing it. It should remain your avatar until the next time you type the Facebook login field...if you do that, it will treat you as logged out and you'll have to repeat the process. But there should be no need for you to go to Facebook and do anything directly to your account there.

The reason it took me so long is I didn't want to connect my Facebook account to the game. I believe logging into Facebook in game gives the game access to things like your Facebook friends list and photos, possibly other things as well, and not just your Facebook profile picture. And that's just not something I want to share. Also, I don't want to change my Facebook account profile based on what I want my game avatar to be. So I finally created a dummy Facebook account with a fake name based on my game name and a separate email address (the one I've dedicated for use here on this Wiki). The only stuff in this Facebook account are pictures, like my Wiki avatar and Pogo minis...nothing I think I'll have to worry about sharing. I'll also be able to add SSHM avatars to this fake Facebook account so, even if I don't complete an avatar challenge, I would still be able to use the avatar in question. Technically, that's another form of cheating and there is some concern about getting caught doing it so I don't know how often I'll do this. But at least if I try for an avatar and fail to complete the challenge in time, I'll have an option so I don't lose out on the avatar. 😉
