Background:

In the past few months, I've noticed a growing overpopulation in Lioden. People breed more lions than they can sell, and dont buy enough lions from other players. Any lion or lioness that do not carry the latest marking or trait become less wanted and very hard to sell, and past investments become worthless. Now, I personally would have liked to keep all my lions until they age and die. But with only 40 non GB places in my den, it becomes impossible. The competition is tougher, especially for beginners and many unique lions are chased.

Now, I've seen offers before, of having a sb "compensation" given to a player when they chase, and I do understand why that would be ill advised, both because of NCLs and because its a reward for a negative thing.

But what if we made a system that would make it possible to get a reward for having a certain lion or lioness in our den?

The idea goes like this:

Every chosen period of time, (say, at a certain day of the week, or every day, depending how frequent you think this should occur) we would be presented with a lioness/lion design, much like the raffle lioness. The game will generate a few random markings, sometimes a base, or a mane type or color too, etc, and present them to all players. these marks and bases can be common, special or even NCL, but the complete combination should never be one you can find on a wild caught lioness, or else people would abuse NCLs. however, the design should also be one that at least a small amount of people are bound to have. (no none existing combinations) The people who do own a lin with that combination in their dens would then be able to choose to surrender their lion or lioness, sacrifice them if you will, for an sb reward! Sort of like a lion Bingo.

Of course, the time period in which they can do that should not be long, so that people wont be able to breed that specific lioness for the prize.

What more, if a full design is too hard to match in your opinion, it can be a partial trait raffle.
For example:
"Today, every lion of a fiery coat and white undersine in slot 3 can be surrendered" meaning if you have this base with this mark, no matter what other marks are present, you will be able to surrender the lion.

In my opinion, gender should not matter, but its open for discussion.

The amount of markings to match and the presence of a base color or not, as welll as mane, eyes etc' will determine how hard the match is. I think the difficulty should vary, meaning that some days the combo should incluse only markings, while sometimes markings and a base or mane or eye color, but I'd like to hear your opinions.

Well, what do you think?

Player inputs:

Maulise expresssed the concern that this solution will create an sb influx. to that I offer two things:
1)any sb reward would be moderate, not a huge one.
2)the prize can change between sb, an item and experience. it remains to be discussed if the prize for one occurance of this "raffle/Bingo" would be the same for every player or, like in the "sacrificial stone" event, would be rolled uniquely for each lion "sacrificed".
