This idea spurred from another I just read, and I figured I would expand on my suggestion in my own thread. https://www.lioden.com/topic.php?id=304429290147&page=2 So, quite a while back, we had some RP flavor text added that had a small chance of appearing when you visit a lion’s page. I really love reading these when I do have that odd chance of encountering them, and I began to wonder why don’t we add them to everyday actions to make them a little more fun? In the thread I was reading, they suggested some text for when chasing lions from your pride. Instead of the boring ol’ “This lioness was successfully chased out of your territory.” text, you could have a small chance of some flavor text such as these showing up: “[NAME] refuses to leave your pride, yelling about how much she loves you. You eventually get her away, but for weeks you catch her stalking you as you go about your business, glaring at you angrily, until finally one day she vanishes. Creepy.” “You nervously approach [NAME], your mane slicked back as you try to keep a cool attitude. Lioness also appears nervous, and as you get closer, you both blurt simultaneously “This isn’t working out.” After a small discussion, you both part ways on peaceful terms.” I’m kinda rushing these so they could definitely be written better, but these are just two examples I can quickly think of. Another idea I liked from this other thread is possibly receiving/giving scars to a mother lioness after you chase/abandon/kill her cub per a small chance (like you can when sparring with a sub). Realistically, females will try to protect their cubs sometimes, resulting in her own injury. These could be paired with their own flavor text, like “[NAME] is furious you considered kicking her cub from the pride and has attacked you. As a result of defending yourself, the lioness has received [SCAR NAME].” ^ for the above I was thinking it would only apply to cubs 11 months and younger maybe?? Or just to cubs 5 months and younger you kill/chase/whatever before they’re weaned off of mom. That’s about all I can think of right now, I’m open to more suggestions/changes! |

I really love the mother and cub suggestion to this especially. I thought it was a bit odd that a mother is realistically taking her cub is SHE'S chased off, but somehow is chill if you kill or chase her cub. It could be slightly higher than the chance that a lioness in explore gives you a scar, too, since she's just trying to get you away, while the mother is actively fighting you. ![]() |
