I think some smart arse has been going in circles round my town, one of my bugs is up to -24 points! Bloody hell. Plus several others at -12. Ouch.

How did I get a 200 point bonus for infecting (I think) a bug? Not complaining, just wasn’t aware of how I did it!

The 200 point bonus is for having no unsquished bugs. If you got it for infecting a bug, that's a lucky glitch.

Hi @cackleberry, bug penalties increase by -4 per activity, so it won't have been several circles in the same activity. Perhaps, the same person has been through the bugs in several activities. Perhaps, there was a race involving several Fetchpoint players.

Makes sense, I did go squishing on Sunday!

This morning I had a diamond in an unreachable location. I marked it as such and thought it would regenerate elsewhere but it hasn't.

Will it come back tomorrow? I haven't had one for a few days.

One more question: there's an event taking place nearby which will make a large area temporarily inaccessible on Saturday. If my bug happens to be there and I mark it unreachable will I be able to change that later on, once the event has finished?

1 No - the only markers that re-generate are your bugs, so unlikely you get a diamond.
2 Yes - you can remove the inaccessible marker at any time.

I hadn't realised you could remove inaccessible markers and as such have struggled through some very iffy locations to get things recently which will definitely become impassible in a month or two for winter so that could save me accumulating bugs that I can do nothing about for months.

Thanks Bob, good to know.

I wouldn't worry about removing the inaccessible markers Gooner, the next time you go through them will make them accessible again.

Frequently Asked
===========
1) The scoreboard and markers don't 'reset' on the first of the month any more. They work on a rolling 30 day system.
2) You only need to worry about red bugs.
