This is an official clan thread for the Giving Tree Clean-Up Crew Clan!

Lioden Giving Tree Clean-Up Crew

What is this clan for?


As of the creation of this post, there are 1010 male lion cubs in the giving tree. This is almost 10x the amount of female cubs there, and for good reason. While there are many uses for female cubs of all varieties, male cubs are generally limited to sex-changing and kingship. This means that for the average user, the standards for a male cub are much higher. Thus, a conundrum has been created. People want to get rid of the cubs so they abandon them at the tree. But nobody really wants to pick them up either, so they stay at the tree. I believe that this "landfill" of cubs will continue to grow unless we decide to do something ourselves as a concentrated group, for as far as I've noticed tree cubs do not get deleted.

Enter the Giving Tree Clean-Up Crew. This clan (created by yours truly) is dedicated to the purpose of sacrificing our daily tree slot to remove the unwanted cubs from the tree. By doing our part whenever we can, we will "clean" the tree and make it easier for people to drop actually good males for newbies and others to pick up and heir. To further this cause, those who wish to join me should follow two general principles.

Principles of the Janitorial Crew


1. As often as possible, members should strive to use their singular tree grab for a male cub or adol. What is done with these cubs is up to the player, as long as they are gone from the tree.

2. Members should refrain from worsening the problem at the tree and should actively choose not to drop male cubs unless they themselves would enjoy receiving them.

What are benefits of being part of the clan?


Technically, players could purposefully choose to help the tree on their own and do not "need" to join the clan to do so. However, this is likely a difficult choice to make as it is directly a near-daily sacrifice. To this end, I propose that if this clan gets enough members and a following, I myself will donate and also accept donations of nice-looking female cubs which will be raffled off to clan members with minimal entry fees to balance out the loss of all the potentially nice girls people could be grabbing. Clan members can also donate SB, items, and food to reward each other for taking on this mission. If we motivate each other, it will be easier and more fun to tidy the tree.

Having fatherly is the only way, sadly. It does mean that nobody can really do cub drops though which sucks. i love dropping patches and primals in the tree. i havent been able.

I'll probably change my king to that personality soon because I'd like to take more cubs. Though its hard to keep up with protecting them. And same. I remember dropping a primal sometime 2 years ago when the tree had only 20-30 cubs total. I'm fairly certain the person who found her though chased or killed her because a few minutes after she was found her link didn't work anymore.

It might be nice to do an event or something where you could take a few more just to clear things out. IDK
I've had muties I wanted to tree, but it didn't feel right with 10000 cubs there already

I've just recently become active again, and have been wanting to do something like this for a while. My king does have fatherly, which helps. So even though I'm not part of this clan, I'm still trying to do my part. I really love people who try to clean up oversaturated markets, as it helps keep things running smoothly.
Sorry for just butting in, I wanted to share my thoughts.

not in the clan either, but i'm also trying my best here
i've gotten a primal from the tree, once
it's nice to see what cubs you can get from it
eitherway, though
i wish the tree would empty again, since when has it even been like this?

It's the result of four factors:
Lioden Population Boom: Active Lioden numbers have almost tripled.
December Breeding Challenge: Shit tons of cubs and players didn't need them after.
Anniversary Breeding Challenge: Again, shit tons of cubs that players didn't need after.
Anniversary Mutie Boost: Players are mass breeding to get muties and dumping the duds.

I imagine that the February breeding frenzy that usually happens also contributed a bit.
Things will likely get much, much worse come May, because everyone dumps their shitty adols they get from V'kai the Swindler.

Out of curiosity, is it not common to cull prides by chasing/killing/nature preserving unwanted cubs?
I breed a majority of duds, and simply chase them at 5 months. Why do so many players dump at the tree instead?

Probably, when I was actively playing two years ago the tree was relatively empty. I was mostly active during the summertime months though I remember having days where I would go to the tree and wait hours just to take cub because there'd only be adols and even then it would be like 10-15 total. It's satisfying when it gets so low. Right now the tree is really high but I know it'll die down eventually. It usually does.

@Saria
I personally used to dump them at the tree simply because I wanted my king to have living offspring even if they weren't in my pride. I can't speak for all players but that's what I did when I dumped them. Now I chase them ofc lol.

For me, I always want to give people a chance at getting some nice cubs if i can't really care for them
but nowadays i just use the adoption den in my alt for it because it's easier to get a good cub when you can look at them first

I only tree pretty cubs. But most of them I have allowed to grow up to 2 Years and see if they have AMPs, then chase the females and kill the males or give them away in Giveaway.

The way I see it, cleaning their gene pool can re-introduce clean markings into clean breeder pools, giving more options for those doing challenges, more chances for players to get a surprise in explore, and since clean lions don't hurt breeders who don't mind dirty, there's no loss.

I especially like chasing lions with breed-only markings. Part of me really wishes that posed muties could be chased. Imagine stumbling into a claiming challenge and finding out the girl you're trying to claim has Primal Fangs or the lil blep OG Tongue. Or hell, stumbling across a piebald. Such a thing could increase the value of mutations most people typically don't care about.

I totally agree with that! I think it would make encounters much more entertaining as well, although it would make it all the harder if the NCL got mad and smacked you. I already get upset losing a pretty chase, adding chased muties into the mix will make it all the more upsetting haha.

2 GB to auto-claim a mutie potentially worth even more is a price to pay if you really want her, IMO. Or just another reason Leopard Orchards would go up in value.
