Feeling a bit wacky and trying to look for a way to make lioden a little more interesting for me.

I think my base rules would follow the Liolocke, I can't really find the original thread with rules, but have found that:
1. start with nothing
2. lions must be claimed or bred by me
3. food and toys earned

I don't necessarily have a target in mind for what I want my king to look like, but essentially I'm going to attempt to breed a nice bo trait king via chased ncls

I'll be using this account, since my other one is a prism project that I have invested way too much in lol

First iteration:


Second Iteration: I like my initial thoughts to be kept, as a reference, but I am going to work off them to do a new ruleset


Third Iteration: [some inspiration being taken from Lynx's Liolocke]



1. Account Rules
1a. Must start with empty account. [No Lions, Currency, Items]
1b. Starting with Purchased Groupie
1ba. I decided that I wanted to scoot along the first kings age by just buying a groupie (ugly one :P) outright, I don't feel like this changes anything because he still looks like a rolled king and only has 30 stats. He will start at age 8 instead of the 3y/o that rolleds start with. Less likely to get burnt/bored.
1c. I may sell any obtained items via other players or monkey business.
1ca. I CAN sell NCLs I've claimed
1cb. I CANNOT sell ANY cubs

2. Lions
2a. Clean Breeding ONLY
2b. May only breed to CHASED NCLs and Tree Cubs*
2ba. Tree Cubs may only be kept if they are the same or lower generation than my current king.
2bb. Tree Cubs may introduce inheritable mutations if the following stipulations are met.
2bc. Unwanted tree cubs may be raised and chased to the NCL pool.
2c. I may only hunt twice per day for every lion I own.
2ca. If a lioness fails a hunt, she is just unable to ever hunt again. I will not be bothering myself with having to roll for initiatives, as I will be too lazy to do so lol
2caa. I think if a lioness fails a hunt, she will default to being a broodmother (assuming the pride can have more), if she levels up while a broodmother, she may continue hunting again until the next fail. This is subject to change, perhaps failing may instead just mean no hunting for one RO or a real life week. Not sure what I'll decide on.
2cb. If an entire hunting party fails, a random lioness will be picked to bench.


3. Heirs
3a. The first born male cub to my king will be my heir.
3ab. The heir must be trained and adult before being kingable.
3aba. The idea here is that the heir will be ~8y/o when kinged, so it makes the game go a little bit faster
3b. No heritage or mutation repping. I CAN add MoDs
3c. The game will end when I probably get bored or somehow breed a great heir. At which point I am free to heritage/mut rep as I please.

4. Exploring and Games
4a. The way I usually play is by ignoring all battles and only claiming ncls, but I think to force myself out of my comfort zone, I will be battling everything I see. Including those pesky snakes and spiders that are nearly impossible to kill lol
4b. I am only able to play gamble/chance games.
4ba. Cups, Slot Machine, Baoball, Silver Beetle Raffle. If I choose to do so.
4c. I may attempt to impress the Special Lionesses.
4d. I may do snake quests and the lioness quest when it pops up.
4e. I may complete the Gorilla Enclave quests, but only if I have the cub it asks for.
4ea. Note to self: stick with the easy quests :P
4eb. If I have the cub, may only accept the energy reward.

12/31/2023 (for me: 1/1/2024)

Day 1 Started with:
30 Stats
0sb
0gb
0lions
0exp

Battles Won: 29
Battles Lost: 19
Lionesses Claimed: 22
Smacked by Lionesses: 16
End of Day SB: 59
End of Day GB: 0
End of Day Stats: 60
End of Day LEVEL: 5
End of Day Impression: Average

Side Notes:
Gorilla Enclave Quest: Easy - Katanga mane [fail]
Snake Quest: Maximum of 6 Hyena's slain
Lioness Quest Obtained: 1/50

I think battle beetles will be something I'll work towards. Whether its just for gaining the benefit of battles (exp, sb, herbs) or maybe breeding for crafting beetles (already got a yellow smara from explore!). Battle beetles seem beneficial.

A note about hunting:
I have not sent any lionesses to hunt, because they are all NCLs, no chaseds, and I feel like I shouldn't hunt with lions I don't plan to keep!
I'm also trying to brainstorm an idea related to managing hunting / overhunting...
Something like, lionesses cannot hunt if pregnant or weaning cubs. So a lioness can only hunt for ~12 days at a time. But to go further, stack on the "failed hunt = benched for a day" idea.

I love making $$ in games, but also feel its TOO easy to make money from hunting/over hunting for your pride lol

Day 2 2024-01-01

Battles Won: 27
Battles Lost: 22
Lionesses Claimed: 21
Smacked by Lionesses: 14
End of Day SB: 257
End of Day GB: 0
End of Day Stats: 75
End of Day LEVEL: 6
End of Day Impression: Somewhat Impressive

I have decided to change some "rules"
I will be doing the Gorilla Enclave quest + Serenghetti shuffle every day. Originally was only going to complete the gorilla quest if I had the cub myself, but I think I'd rather just buy the cub if I can, it will help clear market (very slowly ofc lol) but also make me have to SPEND sb to actually get it completed.

And I just really like playing SShuffle lol its got some nice rewards that I can use for myself. But I may choose to send certain ones to my side account instead.

Day 3 2024-01-02

Battles Won: 20
Battles Lost: 29
Lionesses Claimed: 70
Smacked by Lionesses: 45
End of Day SB: 402
End of Day GB: 1
End of Day Stats: 107
End of Day LEVEL: 8
End of Day Impression: Dreamboat

Notes for the day:
Bought a catnip and used like 4 energy bars catching lionesses, so the claimed lions will be skewed.
I've decided to send the sellable NCLs to my side account to sell, as it really would be too easy to get sb from them on here. I don't want to miss out on the sb from claiming them, but don't want the sb inflating my gameplay lol

I completed the Lioness Quest and got 3500exp + 1 food bundle (was during the catnip window so that was one of the full energy bars).

Took difficult Gorilla Quest Today for
Pale Skin
Male
148 Stats minimum
Cheapest cub on the market was 375sb.

I have only managed to claim ONE chased ncl so far.

I think I may also keep special based ncls to breed, it would be one of the easier bases to get special onto my king, and plus a few of them are combo factors!

Day 4 2024-01-03

Battles Won: 12
Battles Lost: 19
Lionesses Claimed: 18
Smacked by Lionesses: 4
End of Day SB: 1475
End of Day GB: 1
End of Day Stats: 110
End of Day LEVEL: 8
End of Day Impression: Dreamboat

Notes for the Day:
Periodically battling other players, might put a cap on this but since I am not doing it consistently (basically when i remember lol), then I think I don't really need an unnecessary cap.

This is almost becoming less of a "challenge" and more of a change in gameplay.
I like keeping track of the info, this is also causing me to want to play more to not waste my energy (not as much as when I first started playing, but definitely way more than I have been motivated lately).

I've also decided to just sell NCLs lol my side account just has too many lions for projects and keeping that i can't really afford to send over ncls just to sell.

I am manually feeding/playing, which puts more effort into playing the game.

Hoping to find more chaseds!! Really need to get more female stock for the hunting quests I get lol

This is more of a challenge for me to try and make money now I reckon xD Less spending more earning :) (I think because its hard for me to tell if my side account is even in profit anymore or not lol)

End of Day Impression: Dreamboat

Notes for the Day:
I think I've figured out my hunting dilemma, I'll only hunt when snake quest wants me to have my lionesses catch something specific. That way I can try as many times as I want during the entire quest time, but as soon as they catch it, no more hunting.

Day 6 2024-01-05

Battles Won: 12
Battles Lost: 6
Lionesses Claimed: 13
Smacked by Lionesses: 9
Current 1834
Current 1
Current Stats: 176
Current LvL: 10

Notes:
Simplified my tracking, not necessary to include impression until I get a new king.

The Heir has been born, although as much as I want to stick to my plan, if I do get a better one before he weans, I'll be changing it lol
He isn't horrible, and would technically be a step up from current king, I really am looking to try and rep with a special base (one of the ncl exclusives if I can), or in the very least a combo factor base.


Depending on territory space (since this would fill it quickly), I think I may wait for my cubs born to age and then I'll chase them. I should probably sell them, since I have been thinking about just worrying about making $$ more than making it difficult to earn $$, but I think chasing them for the pool is a better idea.

I actually have managed to get a good handful of breeders, an Asali, Maziwa, and Dhahabi for special bases. 9 Chaseds with varying amounts of bo traits, and an ncl with ncl-exclusive markings (aka breed only)

Day 9 2024-01-08

Current : 904
Current : 1
Current Stats: 194
Current LvL: 10

Missed a day of writing, but I've just decided to skip checking my user log at this point. It's a fun thing to look at, but I'm just not keeping up with it.

However, new male cub has been born which is way more appealing than the original ochre one - and still only 3 days younger, so definitely viable as a new heir!! many bo!

I'll admit, the overall appearance is a bit lacking, but its a bit appealing to me that he's got so many bo traits over the ochre one lol

will keep seeing. Might just keep all my male cubs born until I can't anymore, then cull them and see which one is the best by the time my king retires? ideally the older ones are better ofc.

rambling

Bit of an update,

I've decided to choose the heir that I want to go with, who I think will look the best as the next king. Simply because no matter which one I choose up to when my current king retires, they will all be just about the same age, minimum 3y/o.

Since I miscalculated my current kings age upon kinging, I lost almost a whole IRL month (so 2 years) to give me time to actually age up the cub enough to become the next king.

I'm also considering sex changing a good looking female if I get one, like rn I have an albino girl that I'm thinking about making my heir.

I've not been keeping up with playing with the cubs, so some are actually just dying as well, which can be considered natural selection. I'm not 100% sure its possible for any cubs to live to adult w/o playing with them, so I'll be trying to make more of a habit of playing with them and protecting the good ones.

Whether anyone is actually reading this or not, but I am going to put my next kings name idea,

Dusk Cleon I
the rotating heir will be Day Cleon II
the next rotating heir will be Dawn Cleon III

and so when the next king happens, he will be Dusk Cleon II
Dawn will turn into Day
and a new heir will be Dawn

Since I think I do need essentially 2 brother heirs at any given time, that are about 5-8y apart to keep my kings always 8+ y/o

Or if I have figured out that I only need 1 king 1 heir at a time (essentially heiring the first born cub), then king will be Dusk, heir will be Dawn until mid-life, then change his name to Day

lol
