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.

Biiiiig support. It’s just a waste right now. Making me read about poop but then I don’t get anything out of it 🤢🤮 Even a little sb or a feather or anything would work!!

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.

Another option could maybe be finding a beetle larva? Dung beetles are a thing, after all! Maybe if you don't have a beetle slot open it would give you a token instead.

No support. It doesn't have any rewards because this is an old joke encounter. I don't believe every encounter needs to give something.

On a personal note, I also tend to skip this encounter and don't want to feel compelled to mash the poop to get stats. It's gross to me. I deal with enough (literal) shit in December that makes me borderline nauseous.

If we're going to alter it, I'd suggest having it have unique December conditions of allowing it to give 1-2 stink beetles.
