Miko's profile picture flashes a heck of a lot, i'm just worried it may cause a fit of some kind like an epileptic one. I don't have epilepsy but there are probably some people who play this that do.

Could you remove it please?

Miko

its a serious risk though.

you can die from an epileptic fit, and i don't think szejez (however its spelt) would want to hear that a kid/adult has died from viewing a profile picture on bloodwars.

you may think i'm over reacting but i knew someone who had a nasty car crash due to a epileptic fit. she hadn't been diagnosed with epilepsy before but as she was travelling in her car she drove past a fence, and with the sun just behind the fence, it created a flashing sensation and that caused her to crash.

all i am saying is that its incredibly dangerous/stupid to have any flashing images on or in a globally-played website/game.

I think that image is too small to cause an epilepsy, and you see it for just a short moment

and from rules and regulations...

§12 Possible health damage warning

BloodWars warns that excessive usage of computer games, especially for people suffering from epilepsy, may be harmful to health

If in your intimate or distant family cases of epilepsy have appeared we strongly recommend to consult your doctor before registration.

It is advised that children should use the computer in care of an adult.

When any of the following symptoms (or any other worrying symptom) occur while using the computer turn it off immediately and call a doctor.
Symptoms list:
- suffocation,
- vision disorder,
- convulsions,
- loss of consciousness ,
- difficulty with keeping balance, labyrinth disorder.

I think it should NOT be removed as i have epilepsy and it isnt doing me any harm.

I can have a fit over a strobe light but his picture is awesome but it isnt doing me any harm.
