Updated the FAQ with some more useful info!

Info on how to join is in the group's intro journal-
Join Rhodochrosite's Court!Hey all! :icondeer-head: here with a bit of news! By now most of you should know about my Ametrine comic, and if not, please do give it a read if you can!
http://sta.sh/21qcr81u4likIn the Ametrine comic, I feature MANY of my friend’s gemsonas, and almost all of my own gems will make appearances in the comic at some point as well! The comic was created to bring people together, and also for my own enjoyment with watching my OCs grow and develop.HOWEVER, there are a few of my gems that I just can't figure out how to fit into the story!Those gems are Rhodochrosite and her pearls! Though some of my other gems are somewhat linked to them, I jus...
And PLEASE.... I don't know how many times I have to ask; you MUST NOTE ME before submitting your applications to the group. I get at least one unapproved application submitted to me every other day, please remember to note.
The group is open for new member applications until September 23rd.
While creating gems for the group, keep in mind the amount of gems in each rank. This journal is updated each time a gem is added or taken out of the group-
Amount of Gems in Each RankUPDATE: I updated the count for after the group opening!
----end update----
UPDATE: UH HEY Y'ALL... there's been a very large influx of people making Rooks, and that's cool and all but the Bishop and Knight ranks could really use some love. I won't stop you from making more Rooks but please consider making gems in other ranks so things can be a little more evened out.
----end update----Hello!! This is a reminder that even if you are already members of the group, you still have to send :devdeer-head: a note whenever you make a new gem for the group. Each character has to be reviewed and approved before being submitted to the group. PLEASE...
See "Laws of the Court" and "Punishment for Breaking Court Laws"
Laws of the CourtRhodochrosite’s Court functions similarly to a Diamond Court. It is in place to carry out duties far away from homeworld, and to further the colonization of planets. The Court base is on a gem colony named Riccarda. Here, Rhodochrosite reigns.
Though Rhodochrosite reports to White Diamond, she is the ultimate authority for those in her court.Laws of the Court:
1. Lady Rhodochrosite’s word is the law.
2. Gems in the court may fuse with each other only in dire circumstances. Exceptions to this law are events such as tournaments and entertainment venues where fusion is a feature.
3. Gems may hold friendly competitions among one another, such ...
Regarding Punishment for Breaking Court Laws(Updates at bottom of journal)Hello! This is :devDeer-Head: with an important PSA. I had mentioned this subject in the past, but I feel it must be brought up again for the sake of everyone knowing this possibility.These are the laws of the court:
:thumb594934734:In this, it is mentioned that your gem can be banished or even killed for breaking laws. This is no joke. I warn you to be careful with how you go about certain activities and Quests.The Court's Executioner:
:thumb595502108:If your gem commits a crime that would sentence them to death, I will send you a note and we can discuss how we'll be going about this. There will be a 1 in 4...
If you are experiencing harassment of any kind from other court members, refer to this journal-
Be Kind to OthersHello! This is :devdeer-head: with a bit of a PSA.In my past experience with RP groups, there is always a someone who comes into the crowd and starts trouble. If you are being harassed by another member of the group, if someone's behavior is making you very uncomfortable, or anything of the sort, please send a note to the group itself or me personally so that I can deal with the issue. I would really hate for anyone's experience with this group to be ruined by other people's unkindness.
If you are the person in question that is making other people uncomfortable, you are extremely likely to be kicked out of the group.
All Quest info-
Quest GuidelinesHello! :devdeer-head: here. Since Quest 3 comes out tomorrow, I decided to make a (hopefully) comprehensive list of rules and guidelines for quests along with a little extra info. Please read the description on a Quest thoroughly before drawing and submitting an entry. Each Quest has a different set of instructions to follow, and some are more complicated than others. It is extremely important that you read descriptions, I can not stress that enough Do NOT start RP threads in the comment sections of Quests. That is not what they are there for. If you wish to RP with someone, do so in private or in the group chat that's linked on group's...
Other frequently asked questions:
The group is currently not open for new members, check the front page and journals for info on when it will open again.
Pawn - Commoners (and pearls)
Knight - Guards (like rubies, small sentries rather than quartz)
Bishop - Techies/support types
Rook - Quartz Warriors and other highly powerful gems
Queen- Diplomats and other Noble gems (still lower rank than Rhodochrosite)
King- Rhodochrosite only
To become a member, you must create an application for a gem, when it is accepted, Deer-Head will invite you to the group. Also, you must note your application, not put it on the groups main profile, or Deer-Head 's profile/deviations
You can answer quests, and in progress there is a group chat being made for future events.
Yes! If you're going to update the art on an application, please update the file on your app that is already in the group rather than submitting an entirely new one.
You are free to send affiliate requests to the group, only SU themed groups are accepted though. Being in affiliates does not make your group collaborated with this court.
No. If your group is not collaborated with Rhodo's Court, you can not have them interact. They do not exist in the same universe.
Anyone is free to ask, but it it not easy to get approved. I am extremely picky about which groups I choose. I mostly only pick groups made by friends of mine or people that I follow, but even then it could be a no if I don't like the group's premise. Please be advised: If I say no, I mean it. Do not continue to pester me or other members about your group.
No. I only advertise collaborated groups. Additionally, do not advertise your group on our page or in our group chats. This is not your place for free exposure, do not ride off of Rhodo-court's success for your own gain.
Join the Rebel Army!This has been in the court’s planning for so long… it’s finally time for the rebellion!
The rebellion is lead by Almandine, a tough perma-fusion gem who’s got a bone to pick with Rhodochrosite. Gems are flying in from the far reaches of space to aid in this fight, who will you lead to Riccarda?
Note- I do not recommend having your Court gem run away and join the rebellion yet. If you wish for them to do so right now, they get the chance for the death penalty if they get caught. If you aren’t wanting to take those chances, please wait for a MUCH later “event” that will allow court gems to safely exit the court grounds. Additionally, this i...

Do NOT start RP threads in the comment sections of Quests. That is not what they are there for. If you wish to RP with someone, do so in private or in the group chat that's linked on group's page. You may also RP in the comments of your Quest Entries, just not the Quest announcement posts themselves.
Fusion is not to be used in Quests unless specifically stated otherwise. There will be certain Quests where it is permitted, it will be mentioned in the description.
Only Admins are permitted to make Quests. Wh

I just received a note from a user who wanted to rp with my oc. This user isn't a member of the group and neither is the character they are showing me.
Would it be alright to roleplay with my rhodo oc, pyrope, outside of the court group? or not? I just wanted to make sure before I started rping with that person.

You can, but your RP won't be canon in the court's story :V

Hey! I was just curious if it would be alright to have a defective gem of sorts, (ex. Not having arms + gem summoning being a big fidgety).
I was thinking of making a gem with summoning being very large arms, but since there is an issue with the summoning, he has to wear a suit of sorts to compensate for it and have more "stability" of sorts. Would this be alright?
Lastquestioniswear: Could I use Steel as a gem of choice? //I know not a GEM but yeah is that still acceptable? If not I completely understand~
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yes that is totally fine! And steel counts as a mineral I guess?? So that's ok too :V
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Imeaaaaaan if it's TOO iffy I could change the name with Iron, since that is DEFINITELY a mineral. From then the silly suit could be Steel or some other alloy that modern gems have =v=

cause of quest two ive been thinking, can we make life forms for the planet? also is lady rodo the only gem court on the planet? and is she near any other courts or just out in the boonies of space?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
You can make some life forms, yes :> and Rhodo is currently the only court on Riccarda, but there are some more on nearby planets/solar systems
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
oooh sweet! will we ever meet these other courts? (also i would love to volunteer my court to be close~)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Some of them will be involved in the story, yes :v and I'm sorry but only courts made in collaboration with Rhodo's court even exist in the same universe as Rhodo's court ptbtptb
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
ooohh, i would ask if it would be possible to weave sunset in but i think i can answer my own question :v

Hey uhh its not gonna be open for a while but can the gem be a bit corrupted? (like an extra mouth for say?)

they can be defective, not corrupt

Say one of our gems we plan on entering hasn't discovered their gem weapon, is that fine?

Hello! I've been looking in the extended rules and it says that only red/pink gems are allowed. However, could I enter a Sea Sediment Jasper (with is primarily blue with some tan and green) on June 10th if they wore all pink and/or red?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
That wouldn't really make sense, since that gem specifically doesn't really have much pink or red on it at all. The main color of the gem must be red/pink or black/white with hints of red/pink. If you want another Jasper, you could try Ocean Jasper. It's got red/pink in some forms so if you make those the primary colors in the design you should be ok
