That *is* impressive mileage LGJ. As you’ll start out playing someone low down the rankings, you’ll win without trying as long as a good chunk of that’s in your WSW grid.

Hope you get a chance to work it out soon Lgj - matches start at midday Monday so you need to have a home point set ready to go before that. Perhaps part of the confusion is that you half expect 'something' to happen immediately so fear you've done something wrong when it doesn't?
As others have said, I look forward to seeing you climbing the rankings sometime soon

LGJ, check out your Fmail (link at the top with an envelope on a phone, or the word Fmail at the top of a computer page in a browser).
To echo what CumbriAndy just said, you should rejoin now to make sure you're in a match next Monday. Any running you do until Monday won't show up on the game, so don't worry about that.
With your mileage, set the home point in a simple way at first, assuming your running is local to your home: zoom out of the map until you see the UK, then zoom in until you see your own street, and click there. That'll be locked for a week, and that will be good enough to get you started. Depending on your running routes, and the layout of your local area, that might be good enough for many weeks. Depending on how seriously you take the game, you might want to refine your home point at some point. However, all of that will make more sense once you've played for a bit, so I advise not being fussy for now.

Well it's Tuesday afternoon and I'm throwing in the towel in my match already!
I'm down 14-108 already!
Newcomer bobbyj has already logged 16 miles running and 15 miles walking, in the first 27 hours of the game. Removes all the pressure anyway... 😂

Come now Roberton! (Apologies, I have to get my WSW fix vicariously). There are still 117 squares for you to own by the end of the week.

Thanks for all of the friendly encouragement and help, yes I’m a high mileage kind of gal but I’m a little embarrassed because I’m a slow plodder, I have been running every day since August 2nd!
Still seem to be struggling with my map and grid but am hopefully going to get it sorted by Monday as I have had some lovely messages and help is at hand!

Plenty of us (me definitely included) are slow plodders Limegreen, speed makes no difference in this game, and you’ll definitely have an advantage if you get the mileage in 😁

LGJ, there a 'Streaky Bacon' thread for people who are on a running streak. Come on over if you want.
