kinda self explanatory? i got tired of seeing the same lions over and over again every time i log in, so i was thinking lions owned by players could be chosen at random (or maybe nominated?) to be featured on the home screen. underneath the picture of the lion would be their name and a link back to the owners page. and owners could get a game notification saying something along the lines of "Congrats! Your lion, Name, has been featured on today's home page!" it'd be a good way for players to get exposure and for those seeing the lion's image to interact more with the community.

i could see this feature being a bad thing because of the "prestige" of your lion getting chosen? but ykno.

if you don't support for a specific reason, tell me why! overall though, this is kinda just a for-fun idea and might be a little too frivolous to be implemented anytime soon, or ever. thanks anyways!!! ;3c

"I very much prefer a randomized selection over a nomination system! And I think they bring up a good point about it being a disadvantage for new people! Now that I think about it, showing rolled lions wouldn't be a huge deal, ESPECIALLY if the featured lion changes every time you open the home page!"

Additions by Nyte V2 (#123996)
"I would prefer to see a 100% randomized selection.
This way there would be no favoritism selected and it would give every player a chance to be featured on the main page no matter what lion, what mutation, so forth.
The downfall with "nominating" lions daily, weekly, monthly, whatever is that there will be a huge disadvantage for new people."

Additons by BlockedRelic06 (#124168)
"A possible variation on that is a toggle box option on your lions, maybe at the bottom of their page near their profile or something where you can choose something like "Have this lion featured on the home page?" and then tick the box if yes, or leave it blank if no. Maybe a way to block someone ticking all their lions in an effort to get at least one featured, each person could have a limit to how many they can select to be shown? Possibly based off of territory; every 10 territory = one lion you can choose or tick to be submitted or something, that way everyone has a chance to have their lions featured and it won't be a ton of the same player's lion if they have a ton of them."



This suggestion has 367 supports and 9 NO supports.

I would like a totally random system, that way anyone's lions can get in. Even the plainest ones who are special to someone can be featured sometimes.
Sometimes a lion may be plain or 'potato' but that may not be the view of everyone so give them all a chance to have fun, who are we to decide whats worthy?

The predominant reasoning against potato lions is that the main page is meant to showcase the best of Lioden and draw in new players. If it's a stream of brown markingless cubs or basic ncl it doesn't paint the site in the most appealing light.

My second reason is that having lions with decor gives me ideas on how to dress my own lions. Let's face it, 99% of lions on this site have no decor at all and if it was a completely randomised system then you have to refresh page after page to see a halfway pretty lion - so yes, while it doesn't hurt to see some shoddy lions, I'd much prefer there to be a pretty lion waiting at the main page every time rather than every 100th time.

Just my thoughts on it.

I like Ornicus' idea, but how would that work? Where would you submit it?

A possible variation on that is a toggle box option on your lions, maybe at the bottom of their page near their profile or something where you can choose something like "Have this lion featured on the home page?" and then tick the box if yes, or leave it blank if no. Maybe a way to block someone ticking all their lions in an effort to get at least one featured, each person could have a limit to how many they can select to be shown?

@JennyWren @Iris Thanks! :D I know people have tons of pretty lions, so I'm not sure if 1 per 10 would work, but it definitely would keep the more basic NCL lions down to a minimum since people would have to choose only a few of their lions.

I think 1 per 10 would work okay; after all, that's more or less the system we've got for broodmothers.

@JennyWren - yeah, that's what I was thinking, but I know a lot of people complain about the broodmother limit. Me included, when all my girls go into heat at once. :p

I think it would be really cool, especially because seeing all these cool lions could help get new players more interested in the game. I know seeing experienced players' lions and lionesses definitely got me more interested in the game when I first started and inspired me to work harder on my lions to get them looking snazzy

A randomization system will be more simple than a voting system, in case someone is torn between a cool lion, and a friend's not-so-cool lion. I can see how salt could start up that way. I do agree that a toggle should also be added with this feature, so that self-conscious beginning players or people still working on their lion can keep the lion in question more hidden from the public until it looks presentable by the players' standards.

I have to admit, this is a unique idea and I hope the developers add it in soon. I'm getting tired of a really plain screenshot of a "pretty leopardess licking her paw". Like what does that have to do with a game on lions aside from show the Explore feature very poorly? No hate on the developers though.

If kings are featured their studding services would be advertised, which is pretty good.

@blueyyy thank you so much!!!!

@ashleigh when i made the suggestion, i envisioned only submales and females to be featured, but i would not be completely opposed to the idea of including kings!

Maybe only kings of slightly lower levels?

@ashleigh i think that if kings were included, it would really need to be either kings not up or studding or complete randomization. no matter what. it seems incredibly unfair for the site to specially advertise only for a certain class of kings.
