Helegant Jan 2013 3:31pm, 15 Jan 2013 891 posts	Quote Pin Helegant It became obvious to me that a high score of a small number of thousands several times a week wasn't going to get me anywhere above 700 on the leader board. So I try to get the s instead. Mind you, I can't think of a month when I haven't chosen to nip across to 'large-town' to snaffle one from someone else (today's is legal and reachable but dangerous so I won't be braving the white-van drivers and lack of pavements to get it; neither will I report it) May I request that the placement references the no-go areas previously advised, with the markers not being placed within 40m of a known 'black spot'? I can see that processing that for all coins would send the server into orbit so am not asking for that just yet Thanks for continuing to develop this game.

Ultra Sparkly Bridget (USB) Jan 2013 4:02pm, 15 Jan 2013 12,802 posts	Quote Pin Ultra Sparkly Bridget (USB) I've always tried to hoover up bugs to keep things tidy but as a lone player used coins to work out where else to run. Now that I have a 'silent' companion there are 4 bugs a day so I am able to plot decent length routes just to shift them using coin efficient routes. The reason I say 'silent' is that they do use the site and are signed up to the game but don't normally log a route.

Maybe in the same way as the coin count was collated and shown as a total figure, the same could be done for flowers. Improve the game's "recent activity" list a bit. I also don't really bug hunt now, I'd like the balance changed so that that was worthwhile although I also have no idea how much the bugs are costing me now (but I surmise, not much).

westmoors Jan 2013 9:29pm, 15 Jan 2013 86 posts	Quote Pin westmoors I also miss the reporting of bug penalties.....more because I used to buy bugs! I don't buy them anymore as I can't be sure if they're lucrative or not.
