tubby-tortoise* Nov 2011 10:31am, 18 Nov 2011 40 posts	Quote Pin tubby-tortoise* Having problems with my traffic lights. I input my route manually so I know that it's recorded me going through but again it hasn't refreshed it. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

mcshane Nov 2011 11:30am, 18 Nov 2011 69 posts	Quote Pin mcshane My suggestions: 1) make bugs/traffic lights cost you points relative to how many you have in total - something like max(100, total_points/50) 2) disallow cycling - it's much easier to pick up coins as you can cover more ground. It makes all other markers pretty much irrelevant with the current values. 3) on the 'recent activity' page, print out the summary of each run logged 'mcshane found coins worth 345, won 3 points at random and moved bugs 4 miles', rather than list each individual event. On your account page also list the uploading time for each summary entry. 4) it would be great on the map if you zoom out for the icons to become smaller, but I'm guessing this might not be supported by the google APIs

tubby-tortoise* Nov 2011 12:58pm, 18 Nov 2011 44 posts	Quote Pin tubby-tortoise* Was just wondering about the system owned markers. Will the system keep owning them or will it be first to move them?
Duchess Nov 2011 1:05pm, 18 Nov 2011 368 posts	Quote Pin Duchess What is going to happen to the "bought" markers, particularly traffic lights? The first 7-day ownership periods are going to expire this weekend so do they have to be bought again by the current owner, can they be bought by anyone, do they stay where they are or move, if not purchased will the system keep them? I'm sure Fetch knows the answers....
