Y'all know that Explore encounter where you find another lion's poop on your territory, so you get three options for how to get rid of it?


You notice a scat left by another lion! The impudence!

Destroy! | You smash around... The poop is gone! Or... Is it all over you?
Eat! | OM NOM NOM NUTRIENTS.
Get Rid! | You squat and poo all over it. That should do the trick!


Sometimes I forget the encounter exists, since I pretty much automatically skip past it without doing anything, simply because there's no point. I think it would be cool to add a small % chance of a varied reward/battle(?) depending on what you choose.

For the first one, there could be a few things that have a chance of happening:
> The other lion is nearby and happens to watch you stomp all over his poop. He roars in disgust, "That's pretty gross, dude!" You can choose to [Fight] or [Run away]. [Fight] will initiate a battle, which has standard battle rewards for winning, nothing special. [Run away] will escape instead.
> You feel something small and sharp poke your paw. Ouch! What the hell was this guy eating? (You receive one random explore-type item - e.g. Rock, Gem, Feather, small Skull, etc.)

The second one:
> Gives a small chance of a stat boost (1-2 stats, maybe? The chance of it happening would still be pretty low, so it wouldn't be broken. Just... it's something lol.)

Lastly, the third one:
> Gives a moderate chance of an impression boost (Probably just a 1% boost.)

The encounter would usually give nothing, which remains similar to plenty of other encounters as well.

Yes! It's such a waste of an encounter at the moment..

Even if one of the options was just a small bit of SB, toy or whatever - just something!

Support, but no stat boost please. Sb instead.

(Ah, I pressed bump instead of reply!)

Sparkledog - I don't see a huge issue with a stat boost? It would probably be around the same chances as the stat boost from eating beetle larva in explore, which is extremely low at best; I personally have never seen it give a stat, but the wiki says it has a very low chance. I'd be in favor of it being more frequent. Kings really only have a few limited ways to gain stats right now, most of which are more rewarding for an infrequent rolling playstyle. Adding 1 or 2 ways to gain a tiny amount of stats isn't going to annihilate the stat market. Overall, with an average amount of exploring, I would estimate a total gain of maybe 5-10 stats over a king's full lifetime (3yo-16yo).

Of course, if the issue you have with the stat boost is for another reason, I'd love to hear it! I might be neglecting to think about what problems it could cause.

Support! I often find myself wondering about why the poop encounter doesn't have any rewards or karma effect at all whenever I get an explore session that has a lot of them.
