Lioden blog

i’m sure by now y'all know that the chat was paused- why? i witnessed the whole thing happen in real time. basically, a bunch of players were asking why rumble is even controversial. people were explaining- calmly - about the possible health risks as testified by NUMEROUS people. and y'know what? after those explanations were posted, people started calming down. things like “well i like rumble but its not worth it if it hurts people’ were being said. sure, some people were being super ableist, but there were only two people i can remember specifically saying mean things. 

out of nowhere, the mod team comes in and tells everyone to stop discussing "how rumble causes epilepsy, because its hearsay.” for one thing, people were explaining how it COULD trigger epileptic attacks. for another, hearsay? what? they said it was because they had no “formal complaints” that no one had the right to bring that up….apparently…

the discussion stopped for about two minutes and then someone must have said something because when i came back chat was paused.

in the help chat, a player innocently asked what happened to pause main chat. y'know, a perfectly valid question to ask in the HELP chat. here’s the screenshot. 

and then the mod’s ever helpful, ever kind response (sarcasm here from me, obviously): 

I did see one person say, “Why are the mods instantly deleting my messages?” and then get, instantly deleted, but I don’t know what they said before this or if they said anything after. As far as I’m aware, this is all that needed to be said for the mods to suddenly slam down the silence hammer. 

i’m sorry, but i’m genuinely furious with the irresponsibility and lack of transparency the staff is handling this with. this isn’t just “drama,” this isn’t “hearsay.” this is real people speaking to you hoping for a solution and you didn’t listen until you were forced to. and any attempts to explain on-site, peacefully, WHY the marks were hurting people is met with accusations of drama-mongering and hearsay. 

the lioden mods don’t care about their players. sorry to sound harsh, but they don’t. they only care about their own reputation and the money they get from players. 

EDIT: lmao as I was typing this they added something to the chat. lovely;

Like Merlot (applied) and Merlot (bred). Applied can spawn more applieds or breds (90/10 chance) and breds can spawn both as well, but at different rates (75/25 chance). I feel like it would breath some life back into the lion market. Depending on how good the breed-only variants are, some applicators may regain some interest.

Kind of like….normal pokemon and shiny pokemon.

Taking another cue from pokemon: Cross bases.

A cross base could be kind of like the crossbreed pokemon which vary slightly in appearance depending on the father’s species (since a pokemon will always be its mom species, regardless of what dad is).

Unlike combo bases, cross bases would only be able to occur with bases that are genetically similar, mirroring pokemon’s requirement that both parents be in the same egg group. However, like breed-only base variants, cross bases would only have a chance to trigger (1 out of 4 specifically). Subsequent breedings of Crossbases have a somewhat higher chance (1 out of 3).

For example.

Leonid (Pure/Standard) [Leonid/Leonid,Cocoa,Maltese,Sterling,Steele,Dun]

Leonid (Bespangle) [Leonid/Sidereal]

Leonid (Frozen) [Leonid/Glacial]

Leonid (Frigid) [Leonid/Aufeis]

Leonid (Tempest) [Leonid/Cloudburst]

Leonid (Oxide) [Leonid/Hematite]

Leonid (Grime) [Leonid/Murk]

Leonid (Feldspar) [Leonid/Moonstone]

anger: why would they make a game like this and then ruin it with all these bullshit sparklecolors??? dumb

bargaining: well okay i’ll play but i’ll only be letting realistic looking lions into my pride

depression: damn yall…….. this one girl looks so beautiful but she’s solid black with neon red stripes….. idk if i can accept her into the fold…….

Y’all look what I found, and am currently dying over. Blind mutation dont give a shit about your emo phase.

Who’s ready to get their hands on some gmoos and salty rocks? I know I am! September has a single event currency, the Jewel Beetle (JB), which can be obtained through two main ways: other players’ dens, and explore. Additionally, this month’s event tiers are all opened by killing locusts, so you can unlock while you grind!

Method 1: Stomp/Chase

The first method of getting JB’s involves going to other peoples’ dens and choosing to either Stomp or Chase the locusts you find there though the text box at the top of their den. This can be done once every 30 minutes, and can only be done to online users, so the easiest way to find someone is to just open up main chat and pick someone at random.

Both Stomp and Chase give you +1 JB; the only difference between them for you is good or evil karma. Stomping makes a mess and gives -1 karma, while Chasing cleans the place out and gives +1 karma. Note that this difference is really only on your end - while the player whose den you visited will get some flavor text based on your choice, choosing to stomp won’t give them anything bad, so evil kings can stomp away guilt-free.

Method 2: Event Explore Encounters

This will probably be your primary method of collecting event currency, and for best results I suggest only choosing options that net you the most possible JB. Below are all of the event encounters for this month nd their outcomes - the bolded options give the most JB, the italicized options offer the most locusts killed if you’re looking to open shop tiers, and anything bolded and italicized gives both the most JB AND locusts killed.

Encounters are listed by JB payout (highest to lowest), with all encounters that give no JB listed at the end. Keep in mind locusts killed are estimates as the actual amounts are semi-randomized.

Hidey-ho, Neighborinos! Lex here.

February is the site’s leading mutation event. 

This event is where the majority of breeding items come from, and flood the market for cheapo prices.

This is also the event of Reverse Breeds.

What’s a Reverse Breed, Lex?

A Reverse Breed is where you pay another user a fee, in currency, items, or other things, to breed with one of their lions. This is most commonly used in Dwarf and Leopon breeding.

Tips for February : Lex Edition

“I’ll Apply the Lion Scrotum after you send the items.”

Never ever agree to this. Make sure that the item is used on the lion prior to sending any fees or items. If this is not the case, players could keep the breeding items and say it was just a failed breeding.

Always use your own stud

I can hear you all whining already, but hear me out: If you use your own stud, you can check to make sure they really used all the breeding items that you sent to them before the request gets accepted.

Keep all PMs until the transaction is complete

In the case that you are scammed, there are many lioden-based blogs that you could send a PSA to of that user being a scammer. @lions-beware is a very good one. Post all evidence and, sometimes, when a player sees they’ve been called out, they’ll either refund you or give you what you agreed on so the bad spotlight goes away. 

Leopons and Primals cannot use Lion Scrotums

I cannot stress this enough. I’ve seen players send Lion Scrotums for Leopon breedings in the past and get scammed out of them. If you’re reverse breeding a leopon, do not send a lion scrotum to use on it.

Purchase Reverse Breeds from people with lots of prior experience.

Breeders who have been doing it for a long time and have many customers are less likely to scam you. Make sure you check their threads to see if there are any issues with other players before purchasing a breed.

Never, and i mean NEVER, Pay weeks in advance for a breed.

I also cannot stress this enough. If you reserve a breed, hold onto the payment and bury it until the day of the breeding. Never pay weeks in advance, as people are more likely to “forget” who they were selling to.

That’s all i have for now- but as the months progress this will expand, and i’ll reblog it each time i expand it so you can see new tips.
