Community Update

Aside from monthly event news posts and the 2nd Friday of each month being focused on art/coding updates, all other Fridays are centered around the community!

Official Lioden Raffle

LINK - This is our official community update 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 2022-09-02 00:00:00.

Anniversary Reminder

Anniversary Contests!
As a reminder, we are hosting 12 themed design contests! Details, prizes, and the link to enter are found below.

Details
* There are 12 contests in total—one for each monthly event on Lioden.
* Each account can enter once per contest.
* Your entries must be themed around specific events (e.g. only submit January-themed arrangements for the January contest, etc.).
* To enter, you must copy the full, long wardrobe URL and paste it into the "Submit Entry" field. Entries cannot be modified once they have been submitted, so please double-check what you have before entering!
* Your entry does not need to have a lion present. You can choose to decorate a lion and theme all decors and backgrounds to an event, or you can go a more scenic route and set up a lovely background view with accenting decors! (As an additional note, Translucent Jellyfish now works in the Lion Wardrobe, allowing you to hide the lion artwork right there within the wardrobe!)
* For contests themed to specific monthly events, you can use any background and decor for your design, it does not need to be limited to items from that month's event.
* Everyone can vote for whichever entries they like best! Each player can vote 5 times per contest, 1 vote per entry (so you cannot put all 5 votes into one entry), and you will get a bonus 5 SB per vote for participating.
* Votes cannot be incentivised. Do not ask for other players to vote for your entries, your friends' entries, etc. anywhere on Lioden. This includes in the chat room, on the forums, or in various other areas of the site. Incentivising votes can lead to actions being taken against accounts—we really want this to be fair and for players to genuinely vote for whichever entries they like best!
* If your design is chosen, it will be added to a pool of randomised images that will be shown on Lioden's front page when that specific event is occurring on Lioden!

Prizes
There will be 120 winners in total—10 winners per monthly event, and each winner will get a prize of 10 GB!

Are you interested in entering? Follow this link to access the Contests page and look over all contests that are taking place on Lioden!

Entries can be submitted for all 12 contests starting from now, up until September 1st. On September 1st, the voting period will begin, and players can then vote for the entries they like best within each contest. Winners will be chosen and announced on September 9th!

Minor Announcement: Challenge/Paperclip Trades

This is just a heads up that the Official Topic for "Challenge/Paperclip" Trades has been locked for now. We will be taking some time to discuss how we want to approach these trades. If we come to a decision on how we'd like to handle these trades, we will be sure to notify everyone within the news; similarly, if we carry on with our stance of not moderating these trades, we will announce this as well. Thank you all for participating in the topic—we truly appreciate and value everyone's input and feedback provided on the topic itself!
