Oranj Jul 2020 3:56pm, 13 Jul 2020 2,116 posts	Quote Pin Oranj Cheers Macca, I'd actually moved on to Conquercise, for some variety: fetcheveryone.com/badge.php?bid=423 I do a fair bit of lunchtime walking just to get away from my desk for a bit. It'll be interesting to see how the new scoring goes.
Wriggling Snake Jul 2020 4:05pm, 13 Jul 2020 27,572 posts	Quote Pin Wriggling Snake It is not a minor rule change by any maens. I thought 1 pt for a walk and 1 pt for a cycle was excellent, vs 2 pts for a run, i.e walking is easier than running, and cycling it is easier to cover more ground than running, a retrograde step. It will suit me though as I walk every day, however, I already feel the game has lost something, shame, it was the best game.

To make things worse someone has run over it and got it all angry. Need to go out again now. You absolute horrors. Have fun, stay safe read the blog and oh how some things never change,
Maccathecracker Jul 2020 4:54pm, 13 Jul 2020 416 posts	Quote Pin Maccathecracker Well done on the Conquercise badge Oranj. WSW, Fetchpoint and Conquercise don’t make easy bedfellows.

NDWDave Jul 2020 5:04pm, 13 Jul 2020 12,222 posts	Quote Pin NDWDave My current strategy is to put some trainers on when I get up and go and do a bit of jogging in a big loop. Seems to be working quite well. Rule change will probably mean I slip a few places in the rankings but I will find a new level if so. I might be battling someone with a very well walked and tired dog who jogs a bit who might have been ranked a few spots lower than me otherwise. I suspect it won’t make a massive difference though. They would still (broadly speaking) have to cover the same distance on foot as me to match my score rather than a lot more with the reduced points for walking. Multiplayer has gone bonkers recently and will be out of reach for a one-a-day jogger if it stays like the last round but will favour the jog and dog crew a bit more than before - possibly to the disadvantage of the triathlon crew. It will make multiplayer more of a game of targeting an area which arguably will make the two versions open to a wider range of players and less correlation between top players in both. Probably a good thing for inclusion. Just a game which gets me out running a bit more than otherwise. I got up half an hour earlier to overhaul DT’s lead which I probably wouldn’t have done otherwise.
