MAY EVENT

It’s May! The annual Championship event starts and calls for all lions from the surrounding lands to come and participate! A battle Arena was organized in a giant dried gorge for all lions to enter and compete in hourly matches to win Manticora Beetles and other fabulous prizes!

CHALLENGES - Earning Arena Tokens
Arena Tokens are needed to enter the Arena and win prizes
- To earn one, you go to Event Page. Here you can press a button - the script will pick somebody that is online. Notified by the game, they have 15 minutes to defend - the fight will happen and the token will be granted to the winner.
- If the challenge expires before the person defends, the attacker has a small chance of winning the token still by a surprise attack!
- Anyone online in the past 15 minutes can get challenged, even if they are in the kitchen getting a snack.
- If you post in chat but are not browsing the game, you're still considered to be online.
- You can Challenge 1 player every 15 minutes.
- One person can be challenged by multiple people at once.
- Stats do not matter during Challenges, only for the Arena.
- Nobody loses any Tokens during challenges, the Tokens are generated for winners by the game.

ENTERING ARENA
The Arena is divided into weaker and stronger lions so you need to enter a proper Tournament based on your stats! You can enter 10 times per hour, as you’re allowed to fight more than one match! The Tournament is going on, and at the hourly peak, the closing ceremony is hosted by judge lions as they announce winners and send out the prizes, based on your score! Don’t worry if you lose, you will receive a consolation prize too! Some are toys or food, but some are just not usable trophies that you can sell (or maybe craft? :D). Every win or loss still grants you Manticora Beetles, just different amounts.

* Clarification: During Arena battles, your stats matter and the score is generated using them as base. However, we made it so that, with enough luck, a 25 stat lion can still win against a 50 stat lion, it's just less likely.
- the more entries, the higher chance you'll win! But... you spend your tokens fast.
- if you're the only one in your Tier, you still will win a consolation prize.

*ARENA TIMERS:
You can enter after 15 minutes peak (i.e. 3:15 am for example) and you have 45 minutes to enter. At the Peak (i.e. 4:00 am) the winners will be announced and the judge lions (Lioden server) need time to count all the winners.

Raising Bars
All the Championship participants work hard to unlock a new Champion Shop where you can spend your Manticora Beetles on rewards! For every win, the special bar will raise by 5 points, and for every lost match the bar will raise by 1 point!

Explore
You can also meet Championship participants and fans in Explore! Fun! They might give you Manticora Beetles if you win a battle with them! And maybe if you claim a lioness fan, she will give you some too?

2018 Tweaks:
- New items in tiers 1, 2, and 3 in the Champion Shop
- On May 11th, as a part of the Friday update, we will add a cool item as part of the May Event. It will most likely be a craftable, so stay tuned and keep your trophy items!

Go forth, brave warriors, challenge each other, and participate in the Arenas!

MAY STORYLINE

May storyline is different from how April worked. Let me give you a summary!
Every new Tier (including Tier 0, before bar is unlocked), a new Chapter of a visual Novel will be accessible in new area in the Event Page - "Brotherhood of Zeal". The Novel will place you in a roleplaying story with small branching choices.
Do you remember it worked differently before? Because of server issues in 2017 the novels were tied to specific dates instead.

Tier 0 - Chapter 1
Tier 1 - Chapter 2
Tier 2 - Chapter 3
Tier 3 - Chapter 4

Take note that if you start this later in the month, you will experience chapters one after another in a row.

How do Chapters work?
You will be presented with a visual novel with choices. As you click buttons, you will progress in the story and your choices, marked with asterisks (*), will either have a special outcome or affect your daily quests! (Do not worry! The button will for sure tell you what the outcome is!) Some multiple answers do not have *'s - they are just for your personal roleplaying character preferences - the outcome will be the same.

This is the only time we've introduced *'s so that you guys in 2017 got to get used to how things work for the first time we were doing branching storyline! We've decided to keep it that way.

Chapter 1 will introduce to you a first optionable choice that will affect your daily rewards. It will affect the groupies you can claim as part of the rewards.

In case you want to change your mind, in the Champion Shop's tier 1, a cheap item will appear that will let you change the choice you made in Chapter 1.

Now, Chapter 2, 3 and 4 will give you some choices as well - if you regret your choice in Chapter 2, next two chapters will let you change your mind two more times as you progress in the Novel.

Daily Quests
There are 4 Daily Quests you can do for your Brotherhood bro. They can be taken each day, but they will reset at rollover no matter if you finish them or not.
They reward you with special reputation and Arena Tokens.

What is reputation for? Special Rewards of course!
Reputation is "currency" you gather by doing daily quests for the NPC. The reputation is separate for each NPC you can side with. Reputation you gained with V'Kai does not carry over to Vashkartzen and vice versa.
You spend the reputation points on Special Rewards each NPC offers.

Since Chapter 1 introduces V'Kai exclusively for now, you can spend the reputation only on his reward - it has a 6 hour cooldown and costs 8 reputation to activate each time.

Special Reward for V'Kai details:
By spending 8 reputation you click on a button that auto-claims a lion for you. You need territory space. Your claimed lion will go directly to your den. There is no "Claiming minigame" like in explore.
Newly Claimed Groupies have similar generating script like NCLs, however:
Unique groupies have a tiny chance of having a rare base (Kimanjano is not included here)
Unique groupies can have ANY eye colour and personality
Unique groupies have a small chance of having a pose
Unique groupies have a very rare chance of having a mutation (blind, dwarves, eyeless, felis, lethals, leopons, mane imperial, mane villous, maneless, patches, piebald, polycaudal, and smilus are excluded)
Unique groupies have a small chance of being a teen male (if you chose a chapter boost the chance will be bigger)
Unique groupies have 2 markings randomly chosen by script, including rare ones (Mottled Rosette is not included), albeit... rarely.
