Amethyst

The crystals are iolia valley's native thing. She chose it because of how they warped light. It's not a pocket dimension or anything like that

to be perfectly honest this is incredibly likely. i didnt even know this. glad to know i'm living up to my legacy as a witch by accident... well, who knows... would magic be necessary at all for a place like that? i'm not so sure... if you pay close attention you might see what i mean.

moved the topics as requested... at least i think i got them all? ping me if i missed one!

i can take care of that. wham. bam. done. ...anyway, welcome and such!! thank you for playing the game~ (ps cute avatar)

That's what the application is for! That still exists, but I don't think it's good to make people check a list everytime they want to see who's talking too.

It's just some flavor text indicating that the seeded Pokemon's type becomes "???"

For aces it was, yes. This was a case where I decided it might be better to keep it longer, because with that many more people having access to it, it becomes difficult to know who anyone is when it's so frequent. So I compromised on 45.

Okay, so we have a fancy new club system, and I can see a solid handful of you are rarin' to get some fired up. That's great! First, let's talk about the types of clubs. Public-- Anyone can view and anyone can post. You don't have to be a member to be involved. Open-- Anyone can view topics but you have to join to contribute. Anyone can join. Closed-- Anyone can see the club and who's in it, but to join or participate you have to be approved by the leader Private-- Entirely hidden clubs. Users have to be invited by a leader to get access. Of these, only Private clubs will be approved without application. Those are free-reign! For anything else, you can submit an application using the Staff Contact page! It is linked under the Home drop down menu at the top left. Instructions are there, but I will go over more detailed steps in this thread. First, we're assuming you want to make a Public, Open, or Closed Club. In that case you need to get a total of five people together who are willing to be in the club. That's the minimum! Clubs who lose members and have fewer than five for a long time may be deleted... so you know, if you ever wanted to force the main character into your club so it doesn't have to disband, there you go. We might check in with the other members listed at random, so don't just go including people without them agreeing! You'll also need to decide on a Vice President-- someone to help you moderate the club. We're assuming you're going to be the president if you're starting it, so you've got that covered. Next, navigate to the Clubs page. If you are a Veteran or higher, you should see a button at the top right that says Start a Club! Create the club, select the type, and fill in the details. It won't appear just yet though! Finally, use the link above and jot down your details. Once we've checked everything out, we'll approve the club and you can go to town! We hope you'll all have lots of fun with the new system. Enjoy!

Ooops, forgot to do that. As of this post they are now updated-- the link is the same as before. Thanks to everyone for sticking around to play more~

reuploaded for a patch; please redownload if you got it before this post currently only mega link is up; second one is following

So we're here, almost exactly a year later. ...Actually I was really hoping it wouldn't take this long, but, I've probably said that about every episode since like, E3. So you know, whatever. Let's just get to it. Ground rules! Below is the list of notable changes (Field Effect changes will be in the Readme)! Mirror 1 (Mega) Mirror 2 (Local; prefer other mirror) Enjoy!

hi there, i'm ame from the overwatch team and welcome to the december community update. this month, we're deleting the entire forum: Speakeasy? gone. Nightclub? deleted EXP system? toast. ...actually i'm pretty sure that deleted itself months ago against anyone's will... which makes me pretty salty about the plug-in i bought for it, but you know... whatever. Ace Members? dead. just kidding they're veterans now Veterans? anihiliated. double just kidding the veterans are fine and in fact they have a lot more permissions than before Clubs? all traces of them removed actually they're now fully available so you can make your own clubs and stuff if you're a veteran or higher anyway there are four kinds: public, open, closed and private. the first three are visible; private is not there's rules to making clubs and stuff so administrators will need to approve them but we'll talk about those rules in a different topic soon but tl;dr you need a president a vice president and at least three other members. like a japanese high school. because you wouldn't be on this forum if you weren't at least a little bit of a weeb. and even if you aren't, i'm a level 89 dark weeb. or it can be a private club. those are free reign. gosh, overwatch has gotten weird, hasn't it? with the removal of the EXP system, there's no longer any reason for us to limit rep/reactions so harshly. therefore all groups have had daily reputation limits significantly expanded. Reactions per Day per Group: Members: 3 => 10 Veterans: 4 => 30 Supporters: 4 => 30 Developers: 10 => 30 Staff: 10 => Unlimited Since the ace members have joined the veterans group, the veterans group has received ace's permissions wherever possible to make sure that those former aces are losing as little as possible. That includes a lot of trivial things, but some of the notable expansions include: Tinted name color Display name changes ever: 60 days => 45 days Increased attachment/cover photo/profile picture size PM storage: 200 => 300 Can create clubs Can view who reacted to posts Attachment space: 3mb => 5mb Can close own polls Can edit posts silently Can hide and lock/unlock own content I will also pre-emptively say that all of these changes are benefits I would like to be able to maintain but if these things begin to cause problems (such as if we suddenly are running out of upload space, or if hiding content gets out of hand, etc) then we will make whatever changes necessary. If you had access to the Nightclub forum before, you should have received an invitation to the new Nightclub... club... ... uhm, we'll work on the name. If you were missed and did not receive an invitation, please accost me vigorously until you do. Additionally, due to recent site errors (you know the ones. i know you do) we now have a new theme! ...We thought the old theme was causing our problems, but apparently that's not the case. So... that just means we have two themes now!!! You can switch between them at the bottom through the drop down menu that says "Theme". Note that on our new default theme, Brave, you can use this button... ...to switch the accent color on the forum. No points for guessing what the color options are. As for the errors themselves... no promises on them being fixed yet. But we're getting there. We might be there. Too soon to say. In the mean time, please be satisfied by this pretty theme. please. pls...... and i mean, i guess there's the community release too. if you're, you know, into that.

how about now???

*looks at forum title looks at zarc* oh. um. hi. @ sceptile, like I explained, sexuality is never cut and dry. if a person is attracted to 99 females and 1 male in their life that doesn't mean they're not straight... and no matter what numbers we choose there it's nobody's place but the individual themselves to say what they identify as. this is especially true when we recognize that genders themselves are not cut and dry. even then, i would probably not be alone if i were to argue that a guy liking female machamp, to reuse my earlier counterpoint, is "less gay" that a guy liking male gardevoir, since machamp is very masculine and gardevoir is very feminine. in the end, there's no right answer. so as a tenet of respect, i ask you to not tell anybody else what they can or cannot identify as. that said, this kind of discussion is not the purpose of this topic and if you wish to continue it, i invite you to message me or make a new topic in the appropriate forum.
