fetcheveryone Nov 2011 2:12pm, 13 Nov 2011 10,309 posts	Quote Pin fetcheveryone There's a daily update at midday - if there are any bugs within a mile of your home point, you get penalised. If you buy a bug, you can plant it on your rivals doorstep, for example, as you'll collect the penalties. AB - click them on the map, then click the link in the little popup. FML - to move a bug away, run to it, then run away from home. It will automatically go to a random furthest point from your home point.

Old Croc Nov 2011 2:14pm, 13 Nov 2011 19,445 posts	Quote Pin Old Croc ah I get it - both the penalties and the "moving" thing. So you have to look at the map before you go to do your run. Could play havoc with club routes or races though!

Jerboa Nov 2011 2:21pm, 13 Nov 2011 640 posts	Quote Pin Jerboa So if I go for a run through / past the bugs I 'carry' them away from my house? And then where do they end up? At the furthest point on my route?

fetcheveryone Nov 2011 2:24pm, 13 Nov 2011 10,311 posts	Quote Pin fetcheveryone Jerboa - yes. Look at the big rings on the map - they are 1,2,3 mile radiuses from your home point. You need to get the bugs out of the first ring to get them to move. The bug will be dropped at a random point along your route in the furthest ring you reach.
