In fact, if I planned a bike ride that way and choose my route carefully, I can mop up dozens of purple flowers!!! Also, about 20 miles in the other direction, towards Rockfield, there are a load of bugs! I'd have to get off my bike to get at them, but would that mean I infect them and start gaining points from them?

Hanneke Jul 2021 10:55pm, 13 Jul 2021 76,517 posts	0 Hanneke OK, so not worth the effort! A trip on the bike to these many, many 10+ point flowers is though! I reckon I can net about 500 points there!

Bright Strider Jul 2021 12:06pm, 14 Jul 2021 219 posts	0 Bright Strider That approach would net you some points, Hanneke. It is a one time gain, though. Setting up your own flower routes should give you ongoing returns, as long as no other Fetchpointers come along picking flowers.

Velociraptor Jul 2021 2:00pm, 14 Jul 2021 53,442 posts	0 Velociraptor Driving out for the purpose of raiding someone's flowerbed might be considered to be bordering on Not In The Spirit. Which doesn't mean you shouldn't

Flatlander Jul 2021 3:53pm, 14 Jul 2021 2,133 posts	0 Flatlander Whilst it is true that both players gain if someone picks someone else's flowers (both players get the points that the flowers are worth at the time) the owner loses future gains because they are no longer able to water their flowers and get future higher points.
