But folks with difficult home squares in WSW usually profit by being in the countryside and hoovering up conquersize

Just to throw my two-penneth in and come up with a suggestion that will be completely impractical and confusing and all that.
I like the idea of each player locking the first X (5 maybe?) squares that they change to their colour on any given day (or the first 5 squares of their colour that they pass through, including if they only change to their colour that day).
This at least gives the player getting trounced the opportunity to target some squares that they know will stay theirs for the week.

 for Chrisity, half-mara champ + amazing wava
When I’m obviously losing I try to just fill in the few unoccupied squares because it’s tidier, 😂 oh dear, & helps a bit overall. Probably wrong, don’t really understand the intricacies.

I suspect that most people have squares in their grid that aren't (legally and safely!) accessible. Moving the grid should be able to offset that in most cases though.

Too many posts to catch up on. Not being able to run for a couple more days thanks to a foot injury threatens me with my third defeat in a row.

 to Carp’s foot.
I lost 6 in row recently, it can only cheer someone else up
Much to chilly a wind for me to consider swimming but considering attempting to attach my device to those I see, in swimsuits, far out to sea, swimming 3k in my grid.

Had a nightmare when my Garmin showed low battery after 1/2 mile - this has given me 1 hour use before it goes off in the past, but today it was only half an hour. However i know that if i put it back on, it will run for a few seconds, up to 30 or so on a diminishing return, maybe i can restart it 7 or 8 times. So i then had to decide which squares i was going to count - there were 5 blanks that i needed to fill, but several that Maccatheknacca has 8 points in and weren't really important in the long run. I then followed a programme of running until the garmin went, then continuing without it to the next square or next turn before switching it back on again. By this progress i managed to get all but 6 of the 28 after it had first stopped and all the blanks on my WSW.
Not that it will matter, i know looming defeat when i see it.

And thanks for all your kind words, i really appreciate them. There is no doubt that retirement has given me a new lease of life (and a lot of time to run), as my training log for the last 7 years will show.
