So, the past couple of events' progress meters have been going up pretty slowly. An idea that could help along the February event just popped into my mind suddenly, and I think it could work so I'm curious as to what you guys think. I doubt it can be implemented now, but perhaps for next year provided events aren't totally reworked by then

So, explore encounters. I was thinking that, maybe, depending on which option you choose, it would add +1 to the Flirt or Slap meter. For example, if you are nice and cuddle with the males in explore, those encounters would add +1 to the flirt meter. If you are mean to them, it adds +1 to the slap meter. Getting a successful flirt with that one lioness would also add +1 to the flirt meter. For the shell-hoarding lion, maybe attacking him could add +1 to the slap meter?

Idk, just an idea. I think, or hope, something like this would help a bit. Let me know what you guys think.
