So I got a really good idea, and I didn't see any suggestions quite like this one. If there is, link me up and I'll lend my support! Also not entirely sure if this belongs with Game Art or Development. o3o Anyways, on to the good stuff!

Well, to put it simply, what if there was a poll every 3 months to vote on user suggested special base coats? It seems like bases are being thrown at us every single week and, I hate to say it, but I'm getting a little tired of so much "new" stuff that becomes old by the next week or so. So basically, my idea is admins/mods will post a thread where users can suggest a few base coats. The ones that seem to be the most popular will be taken to a site-wide poll, users will vote for their favorite, and then it could be released on a special lioness. **Tagging on to this, since it's been brought to attention a few times: To avoid rainbow-sparkle lions, the mods will also have a say in which ones will be put up for vote. Bases should be kept to the usual standards. (No vibrant green, or overly-saturated purple, or things of that nature basically.)**

I know there are users already who have made threads for suggestions, but this way it would help keep the clutter of that down, and give all users a chance to voice opinions and cast their vote. I feel like this way it will help keep the community engaged in the game, and they'll be seeing certain features added into the game that they specifically chose.

Alternatively - What if the base wasn't released on a special lioness, but instead was purchasable for GB during customization? The person who created said base would get a lion with it for free, but after that would still have to purchase it with GB. Another way to bring in GB for the site while keeping players engaged, and letting them decide on something in the game. :3

So... Thoughts?



This suggestion has 55 supports and 5 NO supports.

I like this idea. I'll kill for more reddish bases.

Mixed support. It would be cool, but I have a feeling people will just endlessly suggest bases that are heavily unrealistic, vaguely different from other bases, or not based in some form of realism[as all current coats are]

Not really, they are based in some form of realism unless I've missed a base, though it may be from other big cats[fiery and maltese for example are diluted/slightly exaggerated coat colours of tigers]

It shouldn't be as common as every month. Might be better if it happened once every 6 months, and anyone enter the competition for like 2 weeks. There's bound to be at least 1 good base the mods will like and implement, I'd wager. Would be a cool thing to look forward to

@Cat, maroon isn't realistic in the slightest... Come on lol

I personally wouldn't mind a Opalescent base. >,> It would be stark white with hints of other colors. Like a pretty little opal:

Only obviously with the colored tones being muted and somewhat more natural-ish.

@Cat, that's why it's up to the moderators/admins to decide. ^.^ I didn't explain very well up above, it was 2 am when I wrote it and I'm still barely waking up. xD But the way I see this working is that the mods/admins still have some say in which ones they think would be great in-game and not just taking all the suggestions because people are spamming with rainbow-sparkle lions.

@Akrasiel, you do have a point, but I feel like 6 months is a bit much seeing as how quickly new bases and such are being released lately. Maybe instead of 6 months, or 2, settle in the middle for 3?

I have to agree with 6 months, I feel that if we're to straighten out our market some we shouldn't be so spoiled with new marks, bases, manes, etc.

I suppose if it was every 3 months that would mean only 4 user made bases a year, so that's not that common... I think it's a good idea, yeah. I'm sure if it was going to be a thing the mods will work out a good system haha

I just wanted to say, maroon is based off of erythrism if only exaggerated slightly.
Fiery is more based off of golden tabby tigers
And lilac is actually a real coat that occurs in dogs and cats although here it's exaggerated

Just wanted to clarify that Cat is right, all coats are based off of realistic ideas c:

As for the idea, mixed support from me. Xy seems like he has a lot of work to do and all.

@Wolfie, 6 months wouldn't allow for many ideas at all to even be voted on. With so many players in the game, 6 months would be way too long. As I suggested earlier I think 3 months would be fair. Any longer, and players will lose interest in the idea over time. Any shorter and the game will be flooded with constant new bases. If there was a low pass rate implemented with each new base, that could easily help curb flooding the market with these new bases. Like lilac and sepia, for example.

@Plagued, true x.x But at least if it's every 3 months, there's time to work on each base while the new ones are being voted on and such.

Plauged@ thank you! Imma save those links, because this will happen again >.>

I'd sound like a dick if I insisted I was right with no evidence, unbased claims usually make a fool, so I hoped someone would remember what the hams it was based from X3
