So will tomorrow be the big traffic light free for all then? 7 days after they were all system generated should mean they all fall to zero tomorrow so if you run through them you can claim them?

I popped a set of lights in the middle of Trafalgar Square last week. Earned nothing from them (bad positioning for running commuters) but today somebody managed to pay rent to me 4 times on one circuit of the square on his bike.

Can you really pay rent more than once per marker per run?
Hey - I ran through Trafalgar Square this morning. $%$$%@$

Erm...yep...you were the only runner to pay rent on those lights.
BennyBobbles has just gone through there on his bike again
I think the positioning of these made all the difference. I put them slap bang in the middle so I reckon if someone cycled round Trafalgar Square they would go in and out of the 80m zone several times.

Ah but it didn't work until today so the rent had gone down to 14. The ones by Big Ben are a little more lucrative but people are being more creative I reckon and avoiding the lights in that part of town. There are sooooo many!
I shall probably lose control of them tomorrow as my commute home isn't until half six so somebody might have nabbed them by then.

Two bugs on the square of the University cricket ground! One of them is just reachable from a nearby road, the other has the 80m ring running through the stands so only accessible by trespassing.
My deviously placed traffic light is doing interestingly for me. There are not so many ways you can get across the railway line, and the traffic light covers two of them. And it is easily renewed on lunchtime runs or cycle commutes. I am quite surprised it's not being more lucrative!

Gave up on my wife's Mac - couldn't use the damn thing and she is away on holiday and couldn't help me do the necessary upgrades. Dug out an old PC. Spent half the night doing countless upgrades and system checks and goodness knows whatever rubbish before finally getting the damn thing to work and eventually uploaded my run.
Now reported a whole load of missed markers to Lord Fetch to hopefully give him some more useful data points to work with. If it is any consolation I didn't steal nearly as many traffic lights as I thought I would.
Sleep well everybody - hope I don't oversleep in the morning!!
