Yay! I am in the plus for the first time this year! Trying to squish my bugs but it is a long walk still for me to get out of my circle and most bugs are out of reach of my bike. |

Hello  I've just started this game so please forgive the silly questions (!) 1. I see that bugs have a daily penalty. Is that just my own bugs, or other people's too? - Only if I run past them, or is it if they're in my circle? 2. I think I can pick up red bugs by running past them and carrying them outside of my circle? - Is it just red bugs, or any colour? - Does it make any difference if they're owned by me or someone else? Thanks ^_^ |

Hi Wren! It’s only the red bugs (these are your bugs) that will give you a penalty if they’re not moved out of your circle. The penalty is 4 points for ones that are not infected. Infected bugs have a different coloured head, and have a bigger penalty (the more times someone has run through the bug the bigger the penalty). If you run through your own bug, but don’t go out of your circle, then the bug doesn’t change or move at all. For bugs owned by other people, running through them will infect them, and cause a higher penalty (or benefit if the owner clears them). In my area I rarely see infected bugs and haven’t seen anyone else’s bugs. I’m not entirely sure how much the bug increases in value each time it is infected. I think four points extra for every activity that impacts the bug. I’ve used ‘run through’ above; however you can run, walk, cycle, swim or other activity to do the same thing. Hope this helps! Also, there may be some corrections needed by people more experienced with bug infections. 🙂 |

Welcome, Wren! Continuing from JCB's excellent summary: We only suffer penalties from our own bugs. If someone runs through someone else's bug, the someone gains four points and the penalty of the bug goes up by four for the someone else. Do look at the guide, and also the 'About this thread' box on this page, which has helpful answers to two FAQs. fetcheveryone.com/game-fetchpoint-guide.php |

Adding my welcome Wren Minor, but potentially useful, addition to what's already been said. It doesn't matter whether you pass your (red) bug on the way 'out' of your circle or on your route back 'in'. So long as the overall route both hits the bug and includes points outside your circle, it'll be squished. |

If anyone is visiting Lowther Castle and/or Kendal Calling there's a 300-point relay just a short walk away. Don't know how much longer it'll be there - I nudged it there on Monday

R4R - Not this weekend unfortunately. I'll actually be down your way tomorrow for a flying, non-running, visit and wasn't planning to go that far beyond my circle on Sunday. Besides which, I've a WSW match to think about

I didn't need to try to entice you out of your WSW grid after all 😉

Two more bugs to go. Not going to happen today or tomorrow I don't think, so that will be 4 come Sunday. |
