Rog T Jul 2020 7:16am, 2 Jul 2020 408 posts	Quote Pin Rog T been slowly returning to full-on attention to fetchpoint over the last couple of weeks keeping the bugs almost clear. Clear for a few days in a row now so going to go for 30 day badge and best ever score. Having great fun so far and todays bug is favourable.

sallykate Jul 2020 2:41pm, 2 Jul 2020 6,650 posts	Quote Pin sallykate Is there any way to tell who's picked your flowers? I had a few which are gone and I'm just curious...
sallykate Jul 2020 2:42pm, 2 Jul 2020 6,651 posts	Quote Pin sallykate I looked on the map to see whether there were any new ones nearby but I can't see any - thinking that if someone picked mine then they might also have planted some.
Bright Strider Jul 2020 3:16pm, 2 Jul 2020 97 posts	Quote Pin Bright Strider It's possible there was a flower picker who stopped their GPS recording every 0.4 miles, but it is unlikely. Flowers do mature after six weeks. Could they simply have been automatically harvested?

sallykate Jul 2020 3:53pm, 2 Jul 2020 6,652 posts	Quote Pin sallykate No and no - they were only a week old and I'd visited them nearly every day; they were at the end of my road, which is where I go to dump my bug just outside my circle. I had a closer look and I think I know who got them.
Bright Strider Jul 2020 4:03pm, 2 Jul 2020 98 posts	Quote Pin Bright Strider It can't be either of those explanations, then. Intriguing. It could be someone who managed to not hit a 0.5 mile point while in uncharted territory, given that you planted them just outside of your circle.
Nellers Jul 2020 4:56pm, 2 Jul 2020 36,635 posts	Quote Pin Nellers I think it's hard to see definitively. If they were outside the picker's circle they should be leaving flowers nearby but if they are within the pickers' own circle I don't think you'd ever be able to tell. That would be something I'd like. Rather than just showing up on your feed that flowers have been picked it could show who has picked them (so I can take revenge!).
sallykate Jul 2020 5:12pm, 2 Jul 2020 6,654 posts	Quote Pin sallykate I picked one earlier but also planted one in almost the same place - I guess I was expecting that to happen with mine, another one planted by someone very close by. But perhaps it depends on where they were in their run. Ironically I'm likely to pick the ones he sowed (if it's who I think it is) tomorrow when I do my weekly cycle food shop, they're exactly on the route I take.
