Now that the story has progressed somewhat on the site i can now implement some new features and balance the old ones out. So without further delay the major changes.
Factions

Now that Rose has managed to send the Transmission to Earth gems all over the world are listening to her plea and forming the rebellion. The Crystal Gems as she has knighted them as.
But not all Gems beleive in the fight for Earth, some are still aligned to the Homeworld and the Diamond Triarchy that rules it, and just because these gems cant make it home doesn't mean they wont also fight for what they believe in.
So chose your Faction, or none at all, some gems are indifferent or have their own rule they follow.

Gem Fusions

Fusions have been buffed up, decreasing the posts needed to form the fusion and increasing the duration the fusion can stay together. I hope this will encourage more user to fuse together, especially with the rebellion now starting, each side needs all the power they can get to fight each other and the corruption.
Character Apps

A new field has been added to the character template, its no secret that there is a influx of members who leave the site very quickly after they have made a character and posted. This new section was designed to try and minimise that somewhat. The theory is that most people are making the character on a 'reflex' (They are seeing the show and getting motivated to make a character cause they like it, so they whip something up quickly). They have little planning for what to do with the character so once the initial excitement fades, they leave, this new requirment in the app is designed so that new members have to actually think about how their character will evolve and as such they will become more connected to their story and become less inclined to leave and abandon the gem they made. It a similar reason that the history is a requirement aswell. It sifts through users who are legitimately willing to make a story and those who are better suited for a simpler and quicker roleplay with less commitment. This only effects pending members from now on. People who are already accepted don't have to worry about adding it.
General Changes
- Another extension to the above, W.I.P apps are no longer allowed to be created.
- You need to have what faction your in on your signature (If you chose a faction)
- Thanks to the transmission gems can now know what the kindergarten is and that the warps were destroyed by Rose Quartz and some of her allies. Gems on earth are also now aware the Homeworld wants to sap the Earth of life.
Reminders
- Gem Artefacts do exist. You can use them or create your own (Just make sure to read the rules about them)
- Same with Fusions. Its a great way to develop your character and once it accepted you can them become a Giant Women
- You need to have a link to your character app in your signature, remember though do this AFTER your character is accepted because the link changes.
- There are different themes that change the look of the site, the T down the bottom left of your screen allows you to chose them
That is about all for now.
