A Zone Worthy of a Detour – by Cissiliana

SandISibirien is a zone I often return to. Despite the name, it is located in Skåne and despite Skåne, the environment most closely resembles a Mediterranean beach. What otherwise stands out is that horses come here to bathe, which is a fun and lovely sight. I have seen both horse and carriage teams and riders. The zone is also next to the monument zone UFOMonumentet for the alien-interested and the beautiful forest to the north, Kronoskogen, which is a favorite place for a bike ride. Continue along the entire coast along the Kattegattleden cycle path. Northwards it takes you all the way to Gothenburg and southwards to Helsingborg, both directions via beautiful peninsulas.

Thank you Cissiliana for you contribution! If you have your own special zone you'd like to tell the Turf World about, send a paragraph or two about it to insider@turfgame.com and let the Turf community learn more about it!

Server Hickups

February saw several server hickups affecting take overs and one even shut down the app for over 12 hours. Smaller hickups where event zones are showing up in the normal app have also occured. No one wants these interruptions, but they are a sign that Turf is evolving and a big thanks to everyone that reported these ”hickups” via the issue system. It lets the developers know about the problem and also gives important clues to what might be the root cause.

Did you know...

Editor's Opinion

Turf Goals...we all have them. It can be everything from just taking one zone during a round in order to get Turf Insider sent to you (if you have agreed to have e-mail sent to you) to winning Gold. Goals change with time. When I started I wanted to take at least one unique zone every time I went for a session...this became quite hard pretty fast when I could be on my bike out turfing four times a day! It changed to at least 50 unique zones per round and then to 50 unique zones per round in average during a year (allowing me fewer uniques in winter).

Even before the Daily medal, I wanted to take at least 5 zones when I was out turfing, to get a session on Warded :) Painting zones purple in Warded (zones are coloured purple on the map in Warded when you have taken them 51 times or more) is another goal I am working on most of the time (I am less enthusiastic about this if it's raining). Some people collect a certain kind of zones (water, Monument, Holy – my fave is winner zones!) and others want to take Assist with as many different turfers as possible (a top list TheCat is crushing). There is something for everyone in Turf, and you can also choose different goals depending on how you feel during a certain point in your life.
