Kill lioness


Due to a huge popular demand, we decided to implement an option to Kill a lioness, under the Chase option. It will let you to murder her for a karma drop, instead of chasing off to the wild. She won't be added to dynasty, just permanently removed from pride. Remember that nursing cubs will die with her.
Chased lionesses might be found as NCL's. Killed lioness is gone from the server.
Killing is a very brutal move, that requires some struggle with the lioness. It will drain your energy by 5.

*edit* Before you call killing lions selfish, please REMEMBER that 2-3 months ago, chasing lionesses "killed" them. Chasing into wild is a new feature, "killing" lions was working on Lioden for 2-3 years and nobody called it selfish. We just call it Kill now, to separate from Chase.


Updates


~ You have an option to preview private messages first before sending!
~ 14+ Lionesses that are too old to breed no longer will display Heat status.

Raffle Lioness


Good lord, Tamboo (#39640)! You seem to have the biggest chest this raffle lioness preferred snuggle into!
Next lioness is waiting in the Special Lioness area in Explore or in NEWS section under the news post list.

Little Hints


1. We'll be working on the event updates during upcoming days! Whenever we're ready to launch, we'll post news. To those asking, this is how you donate carcasses to the pit:

The kill option only had 238 supports in 2 months. I've seen topics that have that amount and more in weeks, yet those aren't and haven't been implemented as quickly. I feel like this is bending to the richer players, the ones who have mass breeding projects and profit hugely off them. Capitalism and monopolization.
The only reason I'll be using this is for a karma drop.

FurryBae I think we already went over this on the thread that suggested the kill option.
Being able to kill a lion that has, let's say a new special marking that only your den has, allows for major control of that marking market.At first you try to sell the cub for 200gb, because you want to get super rich. No bites, so instead of lowering the price you just kill the cub. And for at least another week you'll be the only player that has that marking. So if someone loves it they'll have to buy it for the 200gb or wait several weeks to have a slim chance at winning a special lioness with the same marking. If they don't win, then the process starts over again with the new lion owner.
It takes months for 1 marking to trickle down to the poorer players. Celestial pelts are still going for 3gb. I don't know if you've taken economics, but this sounds like monopolization.

This is also just a game, but when real money is involved, it becomes more serious.

Also on the old chase system is was mentioned that the lionesses were turned into ncls or they were reused. I took this to mean that you could find them in the wild, but it was just super rare, like finding an albino.

Furrybae, as to your "look at all these gruesome pictures!"

There is an extreme difference in almost every religion/belief system/whatever that killing for food is different than killing for sport or just because you flipping feel like it.

Also, someone posted earlier that they IMAGINED what happened when the "kill cub" button was pressed. That's how options on here should be. There is ABSOLUTELY NOTHING about hunting that says "these lionesses did xyz to kill this" - heck, on the rat carcasses, it says there's maggots - how do we know the lionesses aren't just bringing back scrap carcasses?

There's nothing to indicate that they're actually the ones killing. And even if they were, they're not killing just because "I don't want you to have what I have so I'm going to slaughter it!", it is, in theory, to feed their pride.


Given the fact that there is a million and one things that could have been done to make this a karma-neutral solution (exile, chase far away, etc.), WHY would they go through the trouble of coding two different systems? And why were they not released at the same time?

Uh, I'm fine with all the kill button and all, since I'm shooting for an evil lion and it reduces clutter on the servers. But I could really do without the bit of text calling the player a "monster" for deleting a bunch of pixels. I mean, that's pretty harsh. Also, there might be some players who might have emotional problems that may not take that all too well. ._.

"It takes months for 1 marking to trickle down to the poorer players."

I don't get this. Why is this an issue? Everybody shouldn't just immediately get rare, valuable things for free. That's why they're rare and valuable. How are the people that breed cubs supposed to make a profit if everything is easy to get and readily available?

"There's nothing to indicate that they're actually the ones killing."

But you're playing as a lllllliiiiiooooonnnnnnnnn

I dont even know why religion is being discussed xD if you dont like the feature just chase your lions. It's a choice like on the suggestion post. Not forcing anyone to kill lions. You can chase them.

Gin, If thats what people decide to do to their lions with rare markings we just have to respect their decision. Instead of trying to control what the rich do.

Furrybae, it was just an example of why some people would not be comfortable with it.

So only those with bad-karma lions should have the right to delete lions they don't want other people to have via chase?

Again, the two systems should have been in place at the same time.

Also, okay. I'm playing as a lion that makes snow figurines, has bright blue eyes and is practically purple. Oh, not to mention the magical water that lets a lion become a lioness! And the stone that predicts the future. And the fact that lions can somehow turn mongoose into decor. And have become a pastoral society keeping other animals as pets!

Because those don't make this a fantasy, play-as-you-want type game at all. /sarcasm

Im happy the system came out today, Deleted two lions I no longer needed. Only thing I dislike is the karma because I like being a good Lion. But either way I am a Happy Lioden User.

Is anyone else getting the feeling that people are going to use the kill feature to lose karma? Perhaps there should be a limit on killing per week?

I will be using the kill feature to reduse Karma, however I know there are a ot of other things I could be doig that have the same affect. Killing the cubs in explore for example, I am guilty of doing this every time I see it because 1) it lowers my Karma and 2) It gets me a fight that grants me EXP and Impression. It's a win win for me.

I also like the kill factor because waiting for my lions to starve is tiring, and chasing lions that I don't want only to have people find them again is actually slightly annoying. The kill feature is a good feature for those who want to permanently get rid of their lions without having to wait an annoying amount of time for their lions to run away, and they also avoid the annoying red bar in their den that tells (guilt trips) them how many lions they are starving. And honestly the first time I saw the message from doing so I laughed. Mainly because I played Portal and I heard it in GLaDOS's voice, meaning I made it sound as sarcastic and condescending as possible... Heh I'm a geek...
