I’ve been thinking about this for quite some time and have decided to pitch it to the rest of you. I think it would be rather neat if LioDen introduced some random events. Now, these random events would encompass a lot of things from certain aspects such as, but not limited to, funny little blurbs to possibly gaining tiny amounts of GB.

Before you all freak out and disagree for your own personal reasons, hear me out. These events, as previously mentioned would be considerably random. It would be a little section on the top of the page saying something along the lines of: “Something has happened!” or “Random event occurred!” I merely suggest that LD brings in the possibility of giving out small amounts of GB is simply this – some of us cannot afford to gain GB or have the funds to pay for them. This event would be EXTREMELY rare, happening every so often and once in a blue moon so LD won’t have to worry about losing infinite amounts of money.

I have come up with some, I think, neat ideas that will be listed below and perhaps if the new ideas of lioness fertility/cub mortality were to be introduced, these events could also weigh in on the random little blurbs at the top of the page. As I said, these events would cover basically all aspects and then some of what we all come up with. :)
Something has happened!
While your lion was out exploring, they saw silver flashes lying in the sand. Oh wow! They found (insert x amount of SB)!
**Side note: The amount could be as great as say 50 SB to as little as 1 or 2 SB amounts. To get more than 50 SB, this would also be relatively rare but not as rare as gaining GB.

Oh no!
You feel the ground shake and find yourself in the middle of a wildebeest stampede! You narrowly escaped and feel slightly stronger! (insert x amount of stat gain here)! Whew! That was close!
**Side note: These stats gains would only pertain to one particular category i.e Agility, stamina, strength, speed, smarts, and skills. Also, these stat gains will not exceed a certain amount so no one will have to worry about a ridiculous amount of stats being handed out and whatnot.

ROAARRR!!
You decided to see if you could still clear out an acre of flamingos. Yup! You’ve still got it!

These are only the few ideas that I decided to post up but trust me, there are more where that came from! These little happenings could be tiny and silly like the last bit, or as exciting as being able to possibly gain some stats or even some SB. These events are not to be relied on heavily, however, so LD or the community would not have to worry about certain aspects of the game being neglected and such. Events could trickle down to lionesses/adolescents/cubs so the possibilities are endless and if certain other ideas are implemented such as the fertility and cub mortality, the events could even cover those as well.

Seeing as these events are so wide spread and random, players could see them three times a week or even a handful of times each month. I do realize that this could take a boatload of coding to do if LD decides to take this idea on, trust me, I get that but I thought I would just suggest this here and see what other people think. So, post away with concerns, opinions, ideas, adds ons, or questions! I’ll be happy to clarify things/elaborate more and add on your ideas to this post; also, you are more than welcome to PM me with anything else if you don’t wish to post here. :)

What do y’all think? Nay, yay or maybe?


Suggestions made by others!
Nny [CC] (#257) having an option to disable random events. *Page 1*
RexyRawr {Maasai | 200 Reds} (#22830) suggested those who play all day long have a higher chance of finding a GB but can only gain 1 GB each real life day. *Page 1*
To make it harder, must be active as in clicking from one page to the next and still obtaining a GB even if active for the majority of the day isn't a 100% guarantee.

Pembroke (#717) wants super rare decor given out as in the Elephant Graveyard BG. *Page 1*
The events would hand out really common items to super hard to come by rare items but to prevent the economy from going out of whack, the ultra rare items would be few and far between.

Cora-roar (#880) suggests to remove the GB function altogether and instead hand out higher amounts of SB.*Page 1*
Perhaps max cap being 500-800 SB? Thoughts? This would be rare to keep to the original idea if the GB aspect but instead, replaced with SB so LD can continue to gain the donations from fellow players.

Zizi (#12402), Mid [OLC] (#8680) & Felicat (#24395)*Page 2* supports the GB system because it still will be hard to get.
Zizi and Felicat also made valid points that other sites had done similar random events and yet it was still hardly unheard of that people gained those purchasable currency.

I like this idea! If it were to give out GB, I'd like for it to only be one.

Thank you! Yes, it'd be a really low amount like 1-2 but one definitely works. :) Thank you for your interest!

I support this. :3

Although if it were to include GB perhaps keep it at 1 and make it really rare. It's like that on another Sim I play and I enjoy it that way.

Oh, and maybe an option to turn off random events might be a good idea? I don't think that was in your post?

Just a add on. For those who get to play all day long have more chance of finding a gb. It should be so you only can get 1GB per IRL day.

Nny~ Okay, GB will be kept to 1 and yes, as stated in the original post, it will be very, very rare - almost unheard of. XD Hmm... I'll toss that up into the suggestions of the first post. :) Thanks for the support and feedback!

Rexy~ Good idea but again, it would still be rare to even actually obtain one even if you are on all day long. Then again, there are people who leave their accounts logged into all the time and that would sort of null and void the whole idea. Let's say you are active the time you are on as in bouncing around from one link to the next. These random event pop ups could occur anywhere from simply looking at your lion's page, to a thread, or even exploring. Even if you are active the majority of the day, obtaining a GB would still be profoundly hard, perhaps a 1 out of 250 chance (just high balling it here), and even then there isn't a guarantee.


I'll be adding these suggestions up to the first post! :)

Maybe it has nothing to do with how much you're online, and events can happen while you're gone...

I support all except for the GB part. It's a donating perk, so it shouldn't be given out for free.

However, I would like this more if there was a super rare decor (like the Elephant Graveyard BG in Cups) that you get if you're really lucky.

The Penguin Queen~ If you can further explain your suggestion, I'll see where you're going with this. My idea is to have you clicking about so while you're offline perhaps it would be only silly little things to welcome you back? I just really have the intention of making the player work to generate some buzz but as I said, feel free to further explain yourself, I'd love to see where you're going with this. :)

Pembroke~ Point taken on the GB; however, it wouldn't be so easily acquired either.

Yes! You can get randomly gifted decor from super common to ultra rare but, again, the rarer ones would be wicked hard to come by just to keep the economy intact. :) Thank you for your feedback and suggestion!

I don't think we should be able to gain GB, Buying GB is what keeps the site running, if people can just get it from random events, not that many people would buy GB >.>

Maybe instead of getting GB is could just be a higher amount of SB?

Other than that, I think this is a great idea =D!

I don't think GB should be able to be gained either. Preferably keep it at SB.

People can just click page to page repeatedly until they get their 'GB for a day'. Tons of players don't even have 1 GB so that would throw the economy a little off track. :/ It would be possible to earn 7 GB per week! Limits or not I wouldn't want the GB at all possible for rare events. So I agree with Cora-Roar :L Rare or not, no GB

I totally support this otherwise. I love when little boxes pop up and it's like 'Yay, I found [this amount of currency' and it just makes you a little happier xD

Lola & Cora-Roar~ Even if said person clicked randomly from page to page, the possibility of even gaining just a GB would not be a complete guarantee. It would still be just as rare, if not completely unheard of, that someone received GB from the events.

I do hear the concerns of GB, but again, just mere suggestions to spur some interest and/or replacement ideas/concerns about it. XD

Yes, I think it'd be a nice little thing to introduce to brighten the days of others with a simple "Oh, would you look at that! I got some SB!" XDD

Thank you for posting and for your support! <3
