Thanks JCB
Very well documented👌🏻
So basically, owning squares is more valuable than visiting squares I take from that?

PS- Well done on last week and sorry about this week (hope a week of rest has done you good👍🏻)

Thanks Wallman! It's good to have a bit of a rest now and then! ;-)

Yes, ownership of even just one square in the first two weeks has been enough to make it through to the next rounds.

Though for round one exploring 75 squares has been enough without ownership.

Round two that has risen to the mid 120s or even mid 150s for exploration.

And for all later rounds definitely ownership is the only thing that really matters.

Does anyone think that the scoring systems could do with tweaking? Shouldn’t exploring a large number of squares be at least as valuable as owning a smaller subset? Not that I will ever trouble the leaders.

Dio - that would make it very similar to the 1v1.

Okay Dio, you can have my place in Multiplay as I'm taking a break this week. :)

Rosehip
trying to work out if and when to move my home square:

If I move Wednesday evening, do I need to wait until the following Wednesday evening to move it back - or will first thing on that morning work?

I don't expect to continue to be towards the top of the leaderboard, I don't take it seriously enough

Dio, I don't think large numbers of explored squares should be at least as important as ownership. I say this as someone who can explore the whole grid. The main reason is that ownership is fairer between those that can explore lots of the grid and those that can explore a smaller proportion. The additional reason (which somewhat contradicts Egnys) is that WSW has always been a battle for ownership.

Rosehip, I'd also like a definitive answer to this question from our dear leader (who writes the code), but I expect it to be a whole week (7 full 24-hour days).

DS - agreed re ownership, but simple coverage can get you a long way in mid table (which is where I tend to reside these days!).

Rosehip - earlier in the day works fine (from personal experience, it must be date driven rather than time and date).
