Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

I should have kept quiet and gone back out quick shouldn't I?

Thanks for keeping us honest Fetch.

Oh no!! You mean I didn't actually need to do the extra run yesterday? It would have squished it anyway, had I just left it alone to upload?

le sigh!

Ah well, all goes towards that yearly target doesn't it :)

Blame me i raised it first :p

I shall run somewhere else later now perhaps albeit i was going in that direction to see if they started the roadworks yet which i fairly sure is a yes cos the diversion signs have appeared. Be useful to see how much road is blocked though for biking purposes.

I stopped playing about ten days ago but am back on it now. Just had to mark a bug as unreachable about three times as it was first on a golf course which I can't access and then in another inaccessible area. Fingers crossed I'll be bug-free tomorrow and can start building up to the 30 days target again.

I've been out of commission for a bit with a dodgy knee so I've gone from having a run of bug-free-ness to having a three figure penalty this morning. Out on the bike in the morning to try to trim that down a little.

What triggers traffic lights to appear? I assume you need someone else close by possibly with overlapping circles?

Traffic lights only appear when your player density is 1 or above.

Player density is the number of players that have circles that touch or intersect your own, who have *also* logged into Fetch within the last seven days.

I've just added a column in the database to also record the last time that someone actually viewed Fetchpoint. After giving it a while to bed in, I can nudge the ones who haven't visited - so we might drop some players, but only the inactive ones.

It quite suits us to have inactive players in the vicinity. We can infect their bugs and swipe their jewels :)

We have loads of traffic lights land in and around our circle (eL Bee! and I overlap almost completely and there are no other active players nearby although one has visited recently). I owned 12 at one point last month.
