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!

Another bonus for bug clearance is that you're ONLY penalised for your own bugs.

Lots of discussion yesterday - all good. I look forward to recalibrating my expectation with regard to points totals as we begin what is, essentially, a new game.

There's a few questions running round my head which will, mostly, be answered as the game itself changes and we get to see how it works. I do have one I'd lie some clarity n ahead of time though......

This 'bug free bonus'. I get that there's only one bonus per day but when will it be calculated/applied - do we get the bonus at the time we clear our circle or do we have to wait until all the penalties are applied to those who haven't? If the latter, what time of day are we looking at? Reason for asking is that this is likely to be a change which affects me directly - for example, the short run I managed yesterday evening allowed me to remove the last two bugs remaining in my circle (making me 'eligible' for the bonus) but clearly more have been sown overnight which means I won't get the bonus if it's only applied at midday. Clarity will be appreciated if it's available.

The bug penalties / bonus will happen very shortly after midnight, and the new spawn of markers will happen very shortly after 1am.

CA - I'd had the same thought as I was bug collecting last night. I'd assumed that the bonus would be applied just before your new daily bug landed.

Cross post answered! :-)
*makes mental note not to go bug chasing between midnight and 1*! (or at least upload runs before midnight)

Fun fact:

42% of Fetchpoint players don't have another player within two miles.

19% have one player
12% have two players
8% have three players
19% have four or more

42%? We're obviously not spreading the word!

And... this one's for the folks who think all the fun happens in the city - there are only two players in the top 20 scorers who have a density of 4. Everyone else is lower.

Thanks for the clarification on bug penalties/bonus.

Interesting to see how dispersed we all are.
