Game Changes: CRAU/Canon OC Apps

[ironwood]

Hello chelonauts! Today we're officially announcing some changes to the game regarding eligible characters.

Per our player survey, the results were overwhelmingly in favour of allowing both CRAU (game import) characters, and Canon OCs (fanon characters) to be allowed to app to Tu Shanshu. Based on the feedback that was provided by everyone who weighed in, we identified where people had concerns about both of these options, and we have put together what we feel is the most reasonable and thorough way to address these potential issues.

Below the cut, we'll go over the guidelines we've set for both of these types of characters, and we invite anyone who has further questions to let us know on this post, and we'll address them as promptly as possible. Additional examples have been added to the APPLICATION FAQ.

( Canon OCs/Fanon Characters )

( CRAU/Game Import )

Our application template now has some adjustments! We have added a simple "Character Type" line, for specifying canon character/original character/canon OC/CRAU, and at the bottom of the application, there are now separate addendum for both new types to fill out, to cover the above noted requirements. As with regular applications, the mods will continue to hold each app, regardless of character type, to an equal standard of believably across the board.

These changes go into effect immediately, although we may continue tweaking the wording of the examples as needed. Please let us know if you have any questions or need further information!
