Little Nemo Mar 2020 7:43pm, 30 Mar 2020 10,295 posts	Quote Pin Little Nemo 5 more days and I'll have only negative scores. My bug penalty is at -192 a day and counting
JCB Mar 2020 3:10am, 31 Mar 2020 1,034 posts	Quote Pin JCB Have one similar DTs. And just recently ran fast from where a bug was, to outside the circle, and uploaded it just before midnight. Unfortunately the device I used to record it didn't include any of the part outside the circle (20 metres), so I didn't get the bug! 🤣
JCB Mar 2020 3:11am, 31 Mar 2020 1,035 posts	Quote Pin JCB (Have done similar, not "have one similar"... though that also applies)
BrightStrider Mar 2020 7:49am, 31 Mar 2020 35 posts	Quote Pin BrightStrider Ouch, JCB. It is worth going a bit further than just outside of the circle, but 20 m ought to have been enough. I might have been tempted to delete the GPS record and submit a manual record of the actual route.
njosmith Mar 2020 8:21am, 31 Mar 2020 487 posts	Quote Pin njosmith I moved my circle today from between home and work to around home and with the multitude of bugs assumed I'd pick up a few on a random run. I have also changed my regular route to run through surburban streets which I am finding are much less crowded than along the local Brook. Zero bugs squished.
Little Nemo Mar 2020 10:51am, 31 Mar 2020 10,297 posts	Quote Pin Little Nemo I think someone is running the same route through some of my bugs everyday -212 today!
JCB Mar 2020 12:22pm, 31 Mar 2020 1,038 posts	Quote Pin JCB BrightStrider, good suggestion but I didn’t even have time to get home before the cutoff (and get the no bug bonus). Little Nemo, you make me glad there’s no one around my circle for over 50km!
JCB Mar 2020 12:23pm, 31 Mar 2020 1,039 posts	Quote Pin JCB Njosmith, change of tactic maybe? Did you get out of the circle?
Wazelle Mar 2020 12:26pm, 31 Mar 2020 1,948 posts	Quote Pin Wazelle When exactly do you have to get them out of the circle? Is it on that run, or just within 24 hour of that run, or by midnight that day?
CumbriAndy Mar 2020 12:35pm, 31 Mar 2020 1,606 posts	Quote Pin CumbriAndy The daily bug bonus/penalty is calculated based on what is on your map at midnight UK time - if you're in another time zone (like njosmith and JCB, for example) you need to correct for the equivalent local time
