Here's a made up event.

(Villager) has found a mysterious blue coconut on the coconut tree.

Choice A: Eat it on the spot.
Effect: (Villager) felt weird and lay down for a bit. When he/she woke up, he/she felt filled with knowledge. (Villager now full bar in every skill and get's totem, another way to go past 50 elder limit.)
Choice B: Give it to the scientists.
Effect: (Villager) drops coconut and undertoe washes it away at sea (No effect)
