What's the deal with these. A few of them seem to stay the same always, but other times a woman'll be in a certain seat instead of a man or just a different chap.

Can I not select which one I want to be? Or what?

I turn them off. They distract the hell out of me. DOnt tell me you still have the confetti turned on also

I do.

But that's because it all makes such a difference from Stars, where everything at NL 50 was so depressingly tight and grindy.

I will of course turn the confetti and avatars off in time..

Downloaded the Full Tilt client a few days ago - Urgh! What horrible avatars. And that *noise* they make when they fold! Awful. Who designs these things...

I have the avatars there turned off also, but Im not sure what you mean about the folding noise. Maybe the noise turns off if the avatars are off. I like the look and feel of FTP better than any other site. Wait until you see what happens when someone posts a dead blind. The chips come sliding across the table off to the side of the normal pot..Looks very cool.

FTP cracks me up when players start making faces.
