But.. WAIT! Artists! That's not all!

I want to announce something important. As an artist who came to be thanks to a sim game and internet, I always am looking to pay back that karma to the world.
We value all artists on Lioden, and we do our best to provide a welcoming community for all that wish to earn assets or money using our boards. We've noticed there's many raising talents of commission market that I myself once was a part of. I started in 2010 as a humble artist for a (no longer alive now) sim game. I was noticed, met people, worked hard on my commissions, many other games, and it all led to Lioden. That's the dream - pay for your food with your art.

What I want to say, is that my mind is always open, and we as the team are open for future and whatever it brings. We are proactive about it, though, and we're on a lookout.

Send me your portfolios - for keeps, we're not really looking for anyone right now, but we want to make a library of people who want to put themselves out there. I will store them in a special folder and when days arrive when any of Lioden owners (or their friends) needs an artist for whatever reason, let it be Lioden or any other project, we'd like to always be sure that hey, this person needs commissions, and we need a specialist in ___ area. You can't really lose anything here, only potentially gain a commission!

Send me your gallery links, most preferably - but if you have .pdf portfolios etc I am open too. You can be a human art designer, background painter, logo designer, dragon specialist (well, we'd rather not browse xxx artists...). We want to store everyone! If you like that idea of an artist library with link to your portfolio and contact being stored in my hands - hit me up.

Email:

Summary - Put yourself out there - send us your portfolio link for any time in future we'd ever need an artist for a project or big commission.
Future might cover years, of course, we're not a big tycoon here but we do have many, many projects, and we have many friends too.

Bug Fixes Summary:
* Rejecting trade offers will no longer cause the items offered to disappear.
* Currency will now properly return to your account if you have offered currency on a trade, then bought out the trade with your offer still up.
* Energy will no longer reset to 80% when not doing energy gaining/losing actions.
* Energy will also no longer fail to regenerate when your king is fed properly.
* +0 SMR will no longer display when amusing/feeding your lions through their pages.
* Helper Paws will now display properly in Inboxes and PMs.

Reminder to players:
Please remember if another player is saying something like “Please send this to my friend, I cannot transfer this, I have some internet issue” it is most likely a lie to bypass embargo on their account - do not assist. Best way is to inform moderators to make sure players don’t try to bypass restrictions put in place for breaking rules and if a player is having some issues for real, the team can come and check out a glitch/problem in person.

Please, report players if you see rule breaking asap in general, specially in chat - moderation (a bit like police) relies on reports. Sometimes they are around in chat but maybe at that minute they're replying to a PM or handling a ticket and won't notice a chat rulebreak. Do not hesitate to report problems - we strive to have comfortable, pleasant community.

One last bit.
Please do not get Lioden involved in personal issues from other websites and real life. We will ONLY react to rulebreaking on site - harassment, scams and lies, for example - provided we have evidence to back it up. We really can't step in if you broke up with your boyfriend and he has all your lions. Sorry.

Remember that June event will end on June 30th at 11:59 pm and all your currency will be stored on your account until next year.

Pssst hey. Yeah. Missing mutation files will be updated almost daily from now on - couldn't fit into this update.

Shad added new tags in June, Appreciation and Misc., check them out as usual!
