Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch

or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Thanks JCB
Very well documented👌🏻
So basically, owning squares is more valuable than visiting squares I take from that?

PS- Well done on last week and sorry about this week (hope a week of rest has done you good👍🏻)

Thanks Wallman! It's good to have a bit of a rest now and then! ;-)

Yes, ownership of even just one square in the first two weeks has been enough to make it through to the next rounds.

Though for round one exploring 75 squares has been enough without ownership.

Round two that has risen to the mid 120s or even mid 150s for exploration.

And for all later rounds definitely ownership is the only thing that really matters.

Does anyone think that the scoring systems could do with tweaking? Shouldn’t exploring a large number of squares be at least as valuable as owning a smaller subset? Not that I will ever trouble the leaders.

Dio - that would make it very similar to the 1v1.

Rosehip
trying to work out if and when to move my home square:

If I move Wednesday evening, do I need to wait until the following Wednesday evening to move it back - or will first thing on that morning work?

I don't expect to continue to be towards the top of the leaderboard, I don't take it seriously enough

Dio, I don't think large numbers of explored squares should be at least as important as ownership. I say this as someone who can explore the whole grid. The main reason is that ownership is fairer between those that can explore lots of the grid and those that can explore a smaller proportion. The additional reason (which somewhat contradicts Egnys) is that WSW has always been a battle for ownership.

Rosehip, I'd also like a definitive answer to this question from our dear leader (who writes the code), but I expect it to be a whole week (7 full 24-hour days).

DS - agreed re ownership, but simple coverage can get you a long way in mid table (which is where I tend to reside these days!).

Rosehip - earlier in the day works fine (from personal experience, it must be date driven rather than time and date).
