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!

I have to make an unexpected bike ride to my mother in law's and I have come here to work out the best route from a WSW point of view :)

I’d like to change the Who Squares Wins picture - and thought it might be good to have a Fetchie on the front cover :-) If you’re up for it, post a pic in the gallery of you holding up your fingers like a movie director making a rectangle around a shot. But obviously try to make it square :-) Close ups and silly faces encouraged :-)

21-22 going on here. I am contemplating walking to the pharmacy to pick up precisely one slice of cake just to even things up. And I need some cough syrup or sweets or I'll die of sleeplessness before I even make the weekend.

Also: Garmin still thinks I am supersonic. It had me walking 1km in 4 seconds, then a second km in a slovenly 53 seconds. Despite that, the map is right. It only does that on "cross-train" setting and seems to be right enough on bike and run.

A question for clarification...and a thought/idea/stupid suggestion

Firstly, just to check that you can only score points in a square once a day for biking it and once a day for running it. So a daily cycling commuter who uses the same route morning and night would only score once for each square. And someone couldn't restart their watch for five separate laps of the same course and get scores for each "separate run".

Now the potentially stupid idea. What if on each day the first 5? or 10? or X? squares each player turns to their colour (note - turn their colour not pass through/score points for) get locked to that colour for the rest of that game. So each day you can secure a batch of squares that your opponent cannot touch...and that you don't need to revisit that week to keep control of. Possibly exclude the centre square and eight surrounding as being unlockable, but still allow the next X squares after that to be locked.

I'm not sure how many results it would change, but it would keep some matches alive and in some cases give the person behind some motivation, because they at least know they can secure a more narrow gap that isn't going to get rewiped out. At the most 2X * 7 get secured, still leaving plenty of battleground squares (unless you picked something like X=20).

Firstly, does it seem like a good idea. Secondly, is Fetch going to hate me for suggesting a potential coding nightmare.

FatterITG - for a minute I was thinking "what a lovely pharmacy to sell slices of cake; I wish they sold cake in my pharmacy"

...the penny dropped...eventually.
