#### (Closed) Where's Bruce Again? Call for Volunteers

Thanks for participating, everyone! I expect to have something to show you by the end of next week. Maybe even sooner.
Unless saying that just jinxed it.

The first "Where’s Bruce?" came out great! (You can see it here.)
Now here’s your chance to get in on the second one.
How to play:
1. Look at this control image.
2. Change your Glitch’s appearance to match it as closely as possible without matching it exactly. (Keep your usual facial features and include at least one other difference from the control image.) (It's okay to have MORE than one difference, especially in this case, where one of the control features [the hairstyle] is a subscriber option.)
3. Take a snapshot of yourself. It can be anywhere, doing anything, as long as you've changed appearance to look super classy like the control image.
Optional Step 3.5. Head over to Amant Kudos in Ilmenskie Deeps and use the in-game snapshot feature to take some (unfiltered only, please) snapshots of yourself. Make sure to publish your snapshots (or provide links to them here if you don’t want to publish them outright). Edited to add: If you have difficulty with the in-game snapshot feature, give me a holler and we can work out another way.
4. Come back to this thread to say you’ve posted a snapshot.
5. This is just here because I like my lists to have an odd number of items. Edited to add: Although the Optional Step 3.5 kind of throws a wrench into things. I'm not sure how to reconcile this. I think I'm going to call it a half-step. That makes this a list with five and a half items. That's odd enough for me. Okay, happy now.
.
.
.
Additional Information:
If you opt to go to the location (rather than doing the backyard thing), you can go to the Amant Kudos snaps page to check out where others have positioned themselves in order to put yourself somewhere new and different. Edited to add: This info is obsolete because I am now a background-removing EXPERT.
Remember, if you are a non-subscriber with "leftover" subscriber-only vanity options, you should NOT change them.
Don’t be afraid to get creative! Snap yourself mining or levitating or teleporting or jumping or sneezing or making faces or doing a somersault. Get a group of people in a following train and make a leaping arc. Bring along a Rube or a Dustbunny or a Land Shark. Have fun with it! What? No somersaulting or Land Sharks in the game yet? Well, that's a shame.
This thread will stay open for two weeks, and it'll take a few days after that to pull the final image together. So if you have a problem with delayed gratification, you might want to sit this one out.
(Further information can be found in the original FAQ.)
.
.
.
Information for Returning Victims, I Mean Volunteers:
Don't worry about zooming or not zooming. Turns out no matter what zoom you take the snap at, I can still access the 100% size image.
No need to title your snap with the word "experiment" or "permission" or whatever. I figure anyone snapped wearing the super classy Bruce outfit is fair game. You should still come back here and let me know you've put up a snap, though.
.
.
.
Fun Facts about the previous “Where’s Bruce?”:
The final picture shows 203 different Glitchen, including eight fake (very close lookalike) Bruces and one real one.
Over 150 different people participated, submitting over 400 published snapshots.
In addition to keeping the required facial features, the majority of people -- subscribers and non-subscribers alike -- opted to also retain their Glitch's usual skin color, hair color, and hair style.
Thirty-eight Glitchen appear more than once, and one appears three times.
In addition to Rubes, chickens, and the like, four non-player characters also appear: a Deimaginator, a Butler, a Note Pole, and a Ghost.
For twelve people, the snapshots they took for this project were their very first published snaps. For one person, it remains the only published snap.
According to one anonymous source (whose name rhymes with Plum Gooding), for one equally-anonymous Glitch (whose name rhymes with Baraeth), the previous "Where's Bruce" event was the first time since alpha testing days that he had been seen without his chicken hat.
.
.

FAQ
Bruce looks different from last time! What’s the deal?
Bruce didn’t like that ridiculous get-up any better than the participants did.
But even the hair and skin are different. Is the face going to be different too?
Maybe.
In the real “Where’s Waldo?”, Waldo ALWAYS looks the same no matter what picture he’s in.
That's one reason why this is called “Where’s Bruce?” instead of “Where’s Waldo?”.
And Bruce looks like a girl now! What kind of name is Bruce for a girl?
Bruce is short for Brunhilda Alice.
Should I ask a fifth question so you have an odd number of questions in the FAQ?
No.
.
.
.
Edited June 30:
Made going to Amant Kudos optional. For the super lazy, super time-pressed, and super shy people.
Also made using the in-game snapshot feature optional. For the people with weird laggy, freezy, or crashy issues.
Also added the thing about the chicken hat to the Fun Facts section. For fun.

- After getting some feedback, I've realized that the idea of dressing up like a clown and trekking out to Amant Kudos feels overwhelming to some people -- perhaps because they are short on time, or because Amant Kudos is kind of out-of-the-way, or because for some reason they feel shy about parading around Ur in Bruce's super classy outfit.
  So for those people I'm offering the option of simply changing appearance and then taking a snap anywhere. This is because I've finally figured out how to isolate people from the background! Yay, I'm a star.
  This means all you have to do is go to the wardrobe and/or vanity options and change your appearance, and then just go about your usual routine until the server updates. Then you can take snaps of yourself in your own backyard if you want. You never have to leave your house! Even Agoraphobe can play!
  I've also heard that for some people, taking snaps with the in-game feature actually causes game lag, freezing, and/or crashing. If you're one of those people, and you still want to participate, shoot me a message and we can work out a way for you to use your computer's screenshot capability.
  Meanwhile, though, the lower turnout (compared to the previous "Where's Bruce?") is not necessarily a bad thing. It means I have the time to add in some extras to give the people who are enjoying this a little bit more to enjoy. Like, for example, if you submitted different-looking snaps of yourself, you're basically guaranteed to appear in the final picture more than once. That's super enjoyable.
  It also means I've had the time to add in some stuff to shake it up and make it harder to find the real Bruce. It won't be so easy this time, mwahahaaaa.
  As always, thanks to those who are jumping in! Even if you only do it out of pure envy over Bruce's fashion sense.

- Aaaand Not a Princess wastes no time putting my boasts about my image-editing prowess to the test by carefully positioning herself in front of EVERY MULTICOLORED OBJECT AND MOTTLED BACKGROUND IN THE UNIVERSE before she snaps her picture, ahahahaaaa!
  I'm up to it, though. I'll show you. It will be SEAMLESS. Bring it on.

- OMG why did I say that thing about putting people in more than once if they submitted different snapshots of themselves?
  Anyhow, I'll be closing this down in two more days. Hooray! Almost done!
  Closing time is 9:00 pm Eastern Time on Saturday, July 7.
  That's 6:00 pm Pacific Time and ... uh ... sometime in the middle of the night for people in the other direction. I think. Okay, I suck at geography and time zones.
