WINTER EVENT

Giving and Pooping
It's the Season of Giving! You can smell visit other players' dens and choose what you want to leave: a nice gift, or a smelly poop! Gifting and pooping can be done every day. The gifting and pooping cooldowns will reset each Wednesday and Saturday, allowing you to gift (or poop) the same players again! A real gift (currency and items) will push the GIfting Bar towards unlocking the tiers of the Guelta, as well as raise your karma by +1 with each gift you leave. A poopy gift will raise the Poop Bar towards unlocking the tiers of the Mudpit, and lower your karma by -1 with each poop you leave. Receiving poop isn't so shitty! You'll see why later.

Goodie Bags are disabled from gifting - you cannot leave them in player dens.

Remember to not advertise gifting and pooping, and do not ask for them in chat!

Both bars can be fully unlocked, so don't worry - one does not exclude the other! However, there is a third bar below them, and it requires both bars to reach tier 1 in order to open! This bar also has 3 tiers in total - it's a Mantis Shop! Yay!

Remember that you can open your den gifts starting on December 25th and ending on December 31st, 11:59pm Lioden Time! Any unopened gifts will roll over to next year.

Stink Bugs?

Explore encounters are our typical poopy Lioden humour - we just go extra silly this month! :D

Stink Bugs are the currency for December's event. You can gather them from new explore encounters (yes, some of them do affect karma, but not all), and the poop bundles have a chance of producing a Stink Bug when you open them!

You can spend your Stink Bugs in the Mantis Shop for all the fancy applicators and decors it contains, as well as the Jolly pose applicator.

Event Specials!

The Advent Calendar
The two sets that we had between 2013 and 2016 have already rotated twice, and we believe the decors are fairly available year-round via the market. In 2017 and 2018, we've added new sets that rotate as well! Previous years' decors may reappear in the game in a special shop if we notice there's a demand for them. This means that this year, you get a fresh new set that will rotate again in 2020!

Advent Calendar decors are completely free - you just have to log in that day and claim your prize under the EVENT section! You must open them in order of release, but if you miss a day, don't worry - you'll be able to collect all your prizes as long as you click them in order! The Advent Calendar runs from December 22nd up until, and including, December 29th, but we leave it up until December 30th to make sure everyone gets a chance to collect their gifts.

- Albino explore encounters are a theme we wanted to put in to celebrate winter, as most of our playerbase is from the northern hemisphere.
- All muddy/poopy encounters we kept permanently were added a few years ago (Elephant Dung, Dirty Warthog, and Lion Scat). They're nothing new, really, but they're how this event started! :D
- Mudpit items are still smelly and useless.. but, you can find some treasures as well!

Something Builds Up...
The winter in Africa is... not really wintery. It's summer there, actually. But most Liodenians live in the northern hemisphere and we all love snow time. To somehow mix lion and user fun, something fluffy and white will appear very slowly, to not disturb the African feeling of the game. The more tiers you open, the more of it will appear in explore and other places, but not too much, and not yet. And then the Snuhlions will appear in the dens.

New in 2018
- Wet season lasts for the whole month!
- 8 new explore encounters, including ones that appear with snow tiers a bit later into the month!
- one of the encounters can drop a new decor!!
- 3 new decors from the Mudpit - in tiers 1, 2, and 3
- Aufeis base, mane, and markings are for tier 3 in the Mantis Shop. Aufeis is a Black Medium Countershaded Special base, and requires at least one parent to have it in order for it to pass - just like all other applicator bases.
- We will unlock items as their respective tiers are close to opening, but new Aufeis lion looks are available in wardrobe right away!

- Many new decors will be added to the Mantis Shop!
- 5 new Snuhlions!

- A few older encounters have had their images revamped!

There's also something new we've added BECAUSE of this event - but, it will stay year-long! A new COMBO base, suggested by Necolasa!

Elysian is a Black Dark Countershaded Special combo base. It requires Ice to be bred with Ebony or Divine in order to appear. If you breed Elysian to any of its three factor combos, or to itself, the Elysian base can still appear!

(edit: you can breed Elysian right away with this news post)

Reptile Roundup level info from 2017:
Starting since December 1st, we are counting your generous actions! Based on them, the RR level and skins might unlock!
* Snuhlands - 666 gifts or poops, total & combined, needed.
* Albino Snake skin - 666 gifts needed.
* Mole Snake skin - 666 poops needed.

Enjoy butt.

NOTE:
Few hours ago, there was a hiccup that affected karma levels site-wide, within an hour or two after it happened, we have restored your karma levels from around the backup (around rollover time) and added some extra points based on your score. We hope you don't feel a big change, if you did something huge regarding karma today and the issue affected you more than our script was able to fix, you can modbox it!
