Does anyone else find it super freakin' annoying when someone wins a new raffle mark and then proceeds to keep the mark to themselves for months and months, years even? We saw it with vit 8, practically every fulvous mark (ESPECIALLY rogue), currently with all the inverted Zebra marks (except white) and when margay first came out several users [who also had margay studs] entreated me to try and get a monopoly on the mark by raising my stud price from 5gb to 10gb-- I ignored them. Feline 7 silky was being hoarded by two users who only decided to sell when I convinced Katze to put the mark in the next couple of Special Ladies. Literally, they went up for sell the next INSTANT.

Lioden's current system of introducing new marks into the game isn't efficient. It actually encourages monopoly, and I'm fairly certain trying to acquire a monopoly against anything in-game is against the rules (correct me if im wrong). That said, Lioden shouldn't be running on a system that encourages monopoly.

If a mark fails to pass on a breed, you have to wait a month to try again. And if it does pass, usually that cub ends up kinged and the person who kinged it charges outrageous prices for a mark. Sometimes the winner of the special lady straight up just goes inactive shortly after winning her and sometimes they just outright refuse to sell the cubs.

I propose there be more than one special lioness, maybe up to five, maybe in different slots so that users would prefer one mark over the other. This means there would be multiple instances of the mark and the winners would be competitors instead of having a monopoly over the market and forcing other users to pay ridiculously high prices in studdings that don't even guarantee passing. However, the other special ladies would not be as good as the main Raffle Lioness. Each extra lady could vary in quality, declining as they go. Extra special ladies wouldn't be the norm for specials either. Raffle Lionesses would be as they are now, unless a special mark was released. Then and only then would there be multiples.

Multiples would appear thusly (the sample new mark is Cream Inverted Zebra, one variation who's other variants are currently being hoarded):
Featured
Secondary
Tertiary
Quarternary
Quinary

The community should not have to wait several months for a new mark to circulate through the game and I feel this would dissuade users from being greedy and selfish.
