I can see how that might work. And my zone is individual to me so would understand that it might work better for others. I'm sure it'll still be fun even if I can't get so many bugs! 😀

Bob! 7 Oct 11:35am, 7 Oct 2024 4,498 posts	0 Bob! fetcheveryone wrote:The core change would be to have all the players operating on one set of icons. So for example, if there was a diamond one mile to the north-west of your home point, everyone would have the same diamond one mile to the north-west of their home points. So you'd be competing with all those other players to grab it. So, will more than one person be able to grab that diamond? Or will I go out on a Fetchpoint run, and could find out that I scored zero because others got to the markets first?

Potentially, yes - but also potentially, no A marker could spawn somewhere, and either (a) the first person to nab it would benefit; or (b) it'd stay there all day for everyone to cash in. Like I said, new game, all up for grabs I put in a request for feedback in my blog back in April: fetcheveryone.com/blog/3/2024/4/482016 and posted some suggestions as to a way forward a few days later: fetcheveryone.com/blog/3/2024/4/482043
