The Wombling Plodder (Welsh Womble)
FWIW, Fetchpoint has helped me with my depression. My doctor advised me to get out and go for a walk each day - so I have been using Fetchpoint to map my routes rather than walking around the same block! I don't always get the chance to squish a bug but I tell myself it is only a game and it has helped me explore and also find some new routes for different types of runs, etc. So I for one and thankful 
Btw - congratulations to all the winners

TWP(WW) - that's awesome
Minardi - here's what happens for each player:
if (density=0) {
10 gems within a mile
}
if (density=1) {
5 gems within a mile
}
if (density=2) {
3 gems within a mile
}
otherwise {
10/(density+1) gems within a mile
}
sprinkling of gems:
5% chance of diamond (40 points)
10% chance of ruby (20 points)
30% chance of sapphire (8 points)
55% chance of emerald (4 points)

I'm also enjoying the revamped game. If I'm lucky I get to run 2 of my 4 runs a week from home, but more often it is only 1. Therefore, clearing bugs is a challenge. Last night I ran 9.5 miles but was never more than about 1.5 miles from home. Still couldn't clear all my bugs as one is in a caravan park that I'm not brave enough to run round it, another is on the dual carriageway with no pavement (but which I could get on a bike ride if I could be bothered), the third and last one is, according to my OS map, on a public footpath, but I just can't find it!!

thanks fetch. i particularly like the random element to the gem distribution.....there is always a chance of multiple diamonds then
And to add to the fun i think it is worth mentioning that we havent got to the first harvest yet, that will add some extra points to those with flower planting strategies and hopefully bring a few more smiles.
im enjoying the game and think the overall affect is a great improvement

minardi, flowers are harvested 6 weeks after planting, so the first ones should be on 13th October.

Another vote for the new game here - despite the fact that running this week is somewhat curtailed - I will be doing an extended bug-clearance run on Friday! I barely lasted a month under the old game set-up

Minardi I don't think any of the flowers rules changed with the new setup - need to be watered within any 28 day period and harvested after 6 weeks. However I would mention the point R4R raised once a flower reaches 20 points it no longer gets watered even if you pass over it (look at the flowers message box on future runs to see). Therefore if a flower reaches 20 points within the first 2 weeks, and it can, it will not be watered again within the 6 weeks period so will be lost before being harvested. Whether deliberate or not I think this is another aspect that needs to be considered when planning routes
