Weird Things to Charge For

Bitlanders charges Gems for some of the strangest things.  

I like my Avatar well enough, but recently I found that someone had, probably by accident, duplicated my avatar exactly.   I posted an inquiry to my fellow Bitlanders as to whether I should drop the issue, or make a change to my avatar.  Upon my receiving the expected absolute lack of response, I decided to switch the hair spike from black to green.  

Imagine my surprise when I found out that I actually have to pay Gems to change the color of my Avatar's hair? So, Bitlanders had weighed in and made the choice with my fellow Bitlanders had deemed completely irrelevant. Of course, why would I pay to achieve something about which my fellow Bitlanders did not deem important enough even to deserve comment?

Of course, I am going to leave my Avatar exactly as it has been.  The existence of my having a doppleganger Avatar matters to no one, and the only person that seems to care about it is Bitlanders itself, who seems to want to punish anyone for de- dopplegangerizing...  

I don't know how many Bitcoin dopplegangers there are in the world, and it seems like the additional of new traits to the collect would make this even less likely.  I did think to wonder if I should be calling these identical twins, but then I realized that I cannot... insofar as they were born at different times.  No one has done a study of exact Avatar simulitudes so no one really knows how bad the problem is.

For real life twins and dopplegangers, the scientific consensus is that the physical similarities do not indicate psychological similarity.  Real life twins and dopplegangers have separate personalities.  No one has done a similar study on Avatar dopplegangers, so it remains a very real possibility that someone else with my exact personality, but who is not me, is also here is Bitlanders.  

Science fiction show suggest that if there are two dopplegangers in such close proximity, probably one is a good one and the other is, you know, the evil doppleganger.  As between myself, and my doppleganger, no specific assignment has occurred.  I hope I am the good doppleganger, as the bad one usually becomes subject to an unusually misfortunate end.  I would not want to come to and end by having a swarn of carnivorous locust eat me, or something along that lines.  This is a real consideration.  As anyone who watches science fiction action adventure films knows, the science behind these films is really accurate.

What I have been doing is squinting my eyes as I work.  If I squint just the right amount , some of the colors on the screen kind of get mushed together.  If I do this at a 37 degree angle from the screen, my Avatar almost takes on a kind of greenish sheen, and I cannot discern the color of the hair at all, although I am sure it must be green.

So, I no longer need to change my Avator, and my ingenuity has saved me the cost of Gems.  Not only that, nobody has to get eaten by grasshoppers.
