'Punctuationy' - love that word (or I would if I knew what it meant!). Baroness - I can see the two that probably belong to RT. My nearest neighbour in a southerly direction has two as well (I might nab the accessible one later, as neighbour does not seem to be very active) but I have none! Perhaps the system thinks we have had our fair share! Just two bugglets and no excess penalties this morning though

I think I've found a possible problem - the daily clearout of old coins, randoms, checkpoints, and yesterdays Garmin markers is scheduled to happen at one minute past midnight. And the daily sprinkle was set up to run every ten minutes (so it would run at midnight, 00:10, 00:20, 00:30, etc, doing 500 players at a time until all the players had been sprinkled). So potentially, the first 500 who got sprinkled at midnight would see all their goodies wiped out one minute later.
All f*ckwittery really. I've left the clearing script where it is, and moved the sprinkling script to happen at 00:45, 01:45, 02:45 etc until all the players have been done. That's hopefully ironed out some more problems. At some point (when I finish bug fixing and start writing new code), the sprinkle will hopefully take into account previously marked inaccessible areas, which will make the sprinkling process take longer... more fun.
Still nearly there with the flowers... but I don't feel I can add new things until I've got the problems with the existing stuff ironed out.

Fetch - you have my sympathy here!
I bet this all worked beautifully in testing with a few players, but now with thousands(?) all those little hamsters powering the Fetch machine are having to work overtime to keep up

Thanks Ian - yep, there's nothing like real-world testing to find the real problems
