Clarification on "Fake/Faux" Lions


Recently, we have been running into some issues with "fake/faux" lions being sold. These "fake/faux" lions include, but are not limited to, hybrids, lethals, raffle lionesses, and raffle lioness clones.

One big issue in particular we would encounter involved players purchasing "faux hybrids" that were actually non-mutated lions equipped with Translucent Jellyfish and hybrid-specific custom decors to make them look like hybrids, leading these players to feel as though they were scammed. While these lions are fine on their own, and there is nothing inherently against the rules with decorating a lion to look like something they are not, the problem comes in when these lions would be sold using terms that not all players may be familiar with.

To be clear, players are allowed to advertise and sell custom decors for hybrids and lethals; however, it is now against our Code of Conduct and counts as false advertising to equip these decors to a lion and advertise them as "fake/faux" hybrids and/or lethals.

In addition to this, it is now against our Code of Conduct and counts as false advertising to advertise lions as "fake/faux" raffle lionesses and/or raffle lioness clones. If a lion is not a raffle lioness or an identical clone of an existing raffle lioness, it cannot be advertised as one. It is recommended to advertise them as lions with lots of breed-only traits, or raffle lioness lookalikes. If any players manage to fully recreate raffle lionesses (including ones that may have gone extinct or inactive), it is allowed to advertise them as a raffle lioness clone or recreated raffle lioness.

With this rule adjustment, players are no longer permitted to advertise or sell "fake/faux" lions. Players will be given one week from today (up to March 24th, 2023) to adjust to this new ruling before our staff team will take action against them.

March 18th Edit: Regarding "Near Raffle Lioness Clones" (NRLC), these are fine to advertise and sell as long as it's very clear in your advertisement/listing that it is not the original raffle lioness nor an exact clone of one. Regarding altered raffle lionesses or raffle lioness clones, these are fine to sell as well, as long as you are, again, very clear that they have been modified in some way.

Raffle Lioness


Congrats to the winner of last week's raffle lioness!
A new Fiery lady with Bone Inverted Zebra, Feline 6 Ginger, and the eighth Great Rift Valley background is up for impressing in the Special Lioness area linked here!


Tags!
Shad has added 13 new tags this month in the Breeding, Doodles, Event ➜ March, and Miscellaneous ➜ NPCs categories!

ONGOING POLL - Our poll from the past week is still continuing! We have been looking into the logistics of merchandise (customs fees, sales taxes, etc.) and want to make sure this is a worthwhile venture for us. We don't plan on just throwing our logo onto various items of clothing—our plan for merchandise would be custom designs, including potential NPC plushies, model figurines, enamel pins with various designs, etc. With this in mind, are you interested in Lioden merchandise? Let us know in this week's poll!

Next Development Update: April 14th!


Due to the issues we had dealt with earlier today, we do not have a comic or doodle—instead, we would like to share with you how our admin team felt this morning.

Please don't change the rules so that we can't advertise lions as "near clones" or "marking clones" any more. These terms have been in use for as long as I've been active (and probably longer). There's no need to ban them.


Admin Response:
We've edited the original news post to clarify on this! The term "near clone" is fine, as long as it's made very clear that it's not the original raffle lioness nor an identical clone of one.

I’m still wondering when the Applicator thing will be fix. I can’t apply a red lace app to my king and I know a lot of people are having problems with it as well.

I didn't know the faux lion was a thing, and tbh it saddens me people would do that. Thank you for stepping in and I hope the backend stuff will clear up soon.
