Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

My score has been plummeting, by over 1/3rd :-(

Seemingly counter intuitively, it's because 30 days ago I had my highest daily score, 3,439. That was due to 2,784 points for having lots of flowers stolen! The consequence of that is when I water my few remaining flowers I don't get as many points as I used to.

I think some Fetchies have sussed out my flower routes, because every time I start to build them up again, someone comes along and steals them for some easy points and I'm back to the beginning again :-p

I remember Oranj's post a few pages ago outlining the way that flower watering and stealing works.

It doesn't help either that I've reduced the amount of cycling I'm doing.

Here's the chance for everyone to start overtaking me ;-)

It is annoying when you've been nurturing some flowers and someone pinches them before you've been through them a couple of times. The thing is that you can build up the points again instead of having to wait the whole 6 weeks so can be advantageous to you.

Flatlander, I have been tempted to go out and harvest some of your haunts. But, I have been too lazy to do that. :)

Ted, it's probably not worth your effort because there is so little to harvest these day! ;-)
It's hardly worth ME going out these days :-o

This may have been asked before but......
I see on my account that others have picked my flowers - 58 points worth - but how do I work out where these were??

You can't as they are no longer markers on the map. However, there are likely to be new flowers planted by the picker in the vicinity of the picked ones. So if you know where you have been in the last 6 weeks...

How does watering the flowers work? Specifically I planted a flower on the 14th October and ran over the same area on the 16th October and it didn't get watered. Is there a duration that must elapse before it can be watered?

It's random ..... The chances of it being watered improve the longer it's been since you planted ( I think ) up to 4 weeks when it then dies if not watered
