-LOCKED - Community Update #36!
Posted on 2019-07-26 17:58:24

Community Update:
As we mentioned before, aside from event news and the 2nd Friday of the month being focused on coding/art updates all at once, all other Fridays are centered around the community!

SEPARATION

Official Lioden Raffle
LINK - This is our Official Lioden Raffle. Everyone gets a chance to win a rare prize, plus something extra for any runner ups. These raffles have a very minimal ticket price, and there is a limit of 1 ticket per account to make it fair! Good luck!
This raffle will automatically end on 2019-08-02 00:00:00.


SEPARATION

Code of Conduct Adjustments


We have added in two new points to our Code of Conduct today underneath the Community Interaction area:

1.26 b) Some transactions may have unenforceable terms and will not be protected under this rule. *
* Added within "1.26 Do not scam players."

1.28 Do not try to control what other people do, or how other people play the game.

From this point on, anyone that is conducting sales which aim to control how other players use the assets you have sold them will have one week from today to remove these terms from their threads or trades. If any threads or trades remain after August 2nd, our staff team will then handle them accordingly.

The Code of Conduct now also no longer lists two instances of "2.1" underneath the Accounts & Trading area.


SEPARATION

Input Needed Regarding Possible New Official Systems: Art Sales and Reverse Breedings


We are aware that Lioden has a very strong art-based market. We have also noticed how popular reverse breedings have been on Lioden, and it seems they're only gaining further traction as time goes on. In order to protect players as well as to make these types of transactions go more smoothly, we are considering adding in official systems for art sales and reverse breedings.

This is where you guys come in. We'd love to hear your input on how we can put these systems in place, your suggestions for how they can work, as well as anything else you might have to say about them!

Official Thread for Art Sale System - please post there with your ideas, input, and opinions on an official art sale system.

Official Thread for Reverse Breeding System - please post there with your ideas, input, and opinions on an official reverse breeding system.

Please be aware that these are both major updates. If the general feedback is positive and our coders can figure out a system that works well, they will take some time to implement. These threads do not mean that they will be implemented; if we cannot come to a conclusion or the majority of the feedback seems to be against these systems, they may not be implemented at all.


SEPARATION

Raffle Lioness


Congrats Lynxes 🐾 (#136933)! You have won last week's Wine lady, woo!
A new Cocoa lady with Shell Lace, Dim Black, and the ninth The Drakensberg background is up for impressing in the Special Lioness area linked here!

Tags!
Shad has added new tags this week in the Appreciation, Breeding, and July categories!

Poll Results - The majority of votes seem to be in favour of Scoundrel having Red Medium Countershaded genetics. Worry not, though - we know Goldens need their time to shine and we hope to implement some unique Golden bases soon!

NEW POLL - Official free studdings! How do you feel about it, and is it something you'd like to see implemented? Let us know your thoughts through this poll! Please keep in mind that this poll is not asking if we should remove the ability to stud for currency entirely - it would only add the option to stud out your king for free.


SEPARATION

Next Big Update: August 9th!

Stud rules like that were never enforceable. We, the community, actively laugh at such rules Random.

I do too but it is nice to have clarity on the subject and it would be nice to stop seeing them everywhere Jax.

I think the gist of the rule is "any cub in a pride thats not yours you have no jurisdiction over"

Common sense with normal studding, murky territory with reverse studding unless an official thing was implemented.

Can't wait to have official Art Sale and Reverse Breeding systems put in place! That will hopefully eliminate a lot of promise transaction worries!

It just wasnt directly stated, it only says trades or threads, so all I wanted was a clarification from the admins.

Edit: Thank you admins for the response!

Common sense comment wasn't directed at you, Random, I was just stating generally

This begs another question though. Often, Hybrid reverse breeders will try to lay claim to a extra cub. If a reverse bred mechanic were implemented giving the heat purchaser all the cubs, would promise transactions cover the hybrid owner trying to lay claim to an extra hybrid?

I personally believe that if you sell a heat, just as if you sold a stud slot, none of those cubs are rightfully yours. But I'd like to know if Staff would rule on the side of the hybrid owner or heat buyer.


Admin Response:
If there is a specific written agreement in place that both the buyer and seller agree to, we can enforce it. If a seller offers a heat and says that the buyer will get all cubs that she produces and they refuse to honour this, the buyer can report it and we can look into it.

As for your concern about reverse breeding, though, we definitely advise you to post any ideas you may have on our official thread for a reverse breeding system. Any and all input is extremely helpful and there may be mechanics or things we would not have considered if someone hadn't brought it up in that thread.

I voted NO on the poll because I can see people shaming players for having a studding fee in the future. I can see a lot of people putting their studs as "Free" and then instantly shaming people who- that's the only real way a lot of players can make any SB is through studding fees. So... we'll see how it goes, I guess.

I think the "free studdings" poll would work best if there was a sort of whitelist for free studdings? A lot of people give out free studdings to certain people who do certain things (eg. pay for a breed with GB when they have a high fert girl, are in the same clan, are just good friends etc) but breeding can also be a lot of people's main income! Maybe a list function where you could put in someone's ID and the amount of free breedings you're giving them? Then the system counts it down each time and takes the ID off when it reaches 0? I also imagine entirely free studdings would become an issue with stud slots and only having a finite amount if just open to the general public <3

Question- if we were giving away free cubs, and we don’t want them to be foddered, does saying that you’re not allowed to use them as fodder count as trying to control what people do? :o

EDIT: thank you for replying! Okay I will edit that out of my post


Admin Response:
Yes, this would be in violation of the Code of Conduct adjustment added in today.

Yes. You can't control if you cub gets foddered or not.
