Little Nemo Apr 2023 10:48am, 20 Apr 2023 13,515 posts	0 Little Nemo Bugs can be infected by other runners so they can be more than a 4 point penalty. Each runner adds 4 points, think there might be a maximum value?
Pale Skinny Vegan Apr 2023 11:02am, 20 Apr 2023 372 posts	0 Pale Skinny Vegan Yeah, I'm pretty isolated in the Wyre Forest, so no one's infected any of my bugs yet, although I occasionally get flowers picked further afield in Stourport and Kidderminster. I'm just thinking that if each individual bug is going to end up costing 112 points, maybe I should keep better track of when they appear and try to squish them as quickly as possible.

Pale Skinny Vegan Apr 2023 12:06pm, 20 Apr 2023 373 posts	0 Pale Skinny Vegan Bob! yeah, the 200 point bonus is tempting. A few of mine are well off the paths in the forest, so would take a bit of tramping through the undergrowth to get to. It's all Open Access land and technically they are not unreachable.
Bright Strider Apr 2023 12:17pm, 20 Apr 2023 332 posts	0 Bright Strider Welcome, Pale Skinny Vegan, The general approach here is 'your circle, your rules'. If I'm having a bike day (for work or errands, for example) and the bug is on a footpath that will bend or dent the wheels, I'll mark the bug as inaccessible. So far as going by bike is concerned, the bug is indeed inaccessible.
Bob! Apr 2023 12:23pm, 20 Apr 2023 4,125 posts	0 Bob! Pale Skinny Vegan If you can't get the bugs on paths and roads, then it is certainly legitimate to mark as inaccessible. They wont spawn again in the places marked.
Pale Skinny Vegan Apr 2023 12:58pm, 20 Apr 2023 374 posts	0 Pale Skinny Vegan I've marked a load as inaccessible where they are on private land. I cycle to work, which seems to give me a bit of an unfair advantage as I am now in the top 40 in the league. Some days I've watered over 600 flowers, so I don't mind losing a few points because the bugs are hard to get to. I could still get to them on foot if I wanted to.
Bright Strider Apr 2023 2:01pm, 20 Apr 2023 333 posts	0 Bright Strider It is your circle, Pale Skinny Vegan. My days of trying to cycle through thick mud in the winter to squash a bug are over.
