This is the third time a [[24-timmarsevent|24 h]] Event is organized.

In June, it will never get dark in [[Kommun:Luleå|Luleå]], so it will for sure be a very special [[Event]].<br />
<br />
===[[Bonanza:Enköping 2024|Bonanza 2024]] on the 14th of September in [[Kommun:Enköping|Enköping]]===<br />
More news will follow when we get closer to the date!<br />
<br />
Nominations for [[Turf Award|Turf Awards]] [[2023]] is over (last day was February 29th) and Crew is busy going thru the [[Turf Award Nomineringar 2023|nominations]] and setting up the vote. Everyone will be able to vote for their favorites later this spring :)<br />
<br />
==Hidden [[Zon|Zones]]==<br />
I recently moved a newly made [[Zon|zone]] in [[Kommun:Umeå|Umeå]] and it became ”hidden” for some [[Turfare|turfers]]. This is a known bug that can be very, very annoying. The most ”famous” hidden [[Zon|zone]] is [[Zon:FarEast|FarEast]]. No one is able to locate this [[Zon|zone]] in the [[Turf]] app without first searching for it. Even if you know where it is, it will not show itself unless you search for it.<br />
<br />
[[Zon:FarEast|FarEast]] is a very special [[Zon|zone]], but the same affliction can occur when a [[Zon|zone]] is moved, usually soon after it was made. Not much is known about WHY this happens. It usually corrects itself with the next restart of the [[Turf]] servers, but until that happens it can be very frustrating since not all [[Turfare|turfers]] always are affected by this.<br />
<br />
Once this happened to a [[Zon|zone]] here in [[Kommun:Uppsala|Uppsala]]. It was made in a very precarious location and moved within a day or two to a less dangerous spot. I went to take it with a friend and my friend could not for the life of it, see the [[Zon|zone]] in the [[Turf]] app. I could, and I was also able to take it. My friend was not, not even after cleaning the [[Turf]] app's cache, uninstalling/reinstalling the app. It became so frustrating my friend almost uninstalled [[Turf]] for good (overreacting a bit). A few months later, we both could take the [[Zon|zone]] without any problems.<br />
<br />
So, if you happen to come across a [[Zon|zone]] that is ”hidden” to you or your friend/s, write an issue about it, preferable reported as a ”Non-critical app or server” issue. Do NOT report it as a "Zone issue". The more information about when and where this happens, the bigger the possibility this might get solved beyond ”wait for the [[Turf]] server to restart”, but until then...there is nothing wrong with the actual [[Zon|zone]], nothing wrong with your phone, just another irritating [[Turf]] bug. Patience is required from you as a [[Turfare|turfer]] and apart from the famous [[Zon:FarEast|FarEast]] zone, all other ”hidden” [[Zon|zones]] I have heard of, have become unhidden in time. <br />
<br />

<br />
===[[Event:VBWinterC24|VBWinterC24]] Saturday 10th of February in [[Kommun:Umeå|Umeå]], [[Land:Sverige|Sweden]]===<br />
The winter classic is back in [[Kommun:Umeå|Umeå]] and will be for both bike and foot on the same day. It will be cold, hopefully lots of snow and during the few hours of daylight at this time of the year.<br />
<br />
===[[Event:LuleåIce24|LuleåIce24]] Saturday 16th of March===<br />
The event will take place on/near the ice track around [[Kommun:Luleå|Luleå]]. You are allowed to use ice skates, skis, kick-sled or walk/run. More information and registration [https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfiTsmFvdcHOVy_lVPT4SjRQudXj90hTVsH6DqbC3eHvz3DVQ/viewform HERE]. This will be the first ever Turf [[Event]] on ice. Back in [[2015]], a Turf Event on ice was planned in [[Kommun:Västerås|Västerås]], but due to a warm winter, it was changed into a land [[Event]]. But they sure did produce a killer advertisement for their Event, [https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=X-yl2xc9JTo&cbrd=1 LINK HERE]. If you want some on ice action, head to [[Kommun:Luleå|Luleå]] in March :)<br />
<br />
===[[Event:Scottish Turf Open 2024|Scottish Turf Open]] – Saturday June 1st===<br />
The [[Event:Scottish Turf Open 2024|Scottish Turf Open]] Championships is BACK in [[Kommun:City of Edinburgh|Edinburgh]] at the start of June for its second year! Come along and we promise you will love it! Everyone is very welcome! More information closer to the date.<br />
<br />
===[[24-timmarsevent|24h Event]] in [[Kommun:Luleå|Luleå]] 7th of June===<br />
The [[24-timmarsevent|24h Event]] is a very special [[Event]] that goes on for 24 hours. It has been run twice before. The first ever took place in [[Kommun:Umeå|Umeå]], back in July [[2017]] and you competed in teams of 3 [[Turfare|turfers]], taking turns being on the map 2 hours at the time. So each player turfed for 8 hours during the [[24-timmarsevent|24 hour Event]]. In June, it will never get dark in [[Kommun:Luleå|Luleå]], so it will for sure be a very special [[Event]].<br />
<br />
===[[Bonanza:Enköping 2024|Bonanza 2024]] on the 14th of September in [[Kommun:Enköping|Enköping]]===<br />
More news will follow when we get closer to the date!<br />
<br />
==[[Turf Award]]s [[2023]]==<br />
You can nominate [[Turfare|turfers]] in four different categories until February 29th. Nominate [https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSceMbq-7JikCTADzneZYs7GZfsXLWJ6DfXEV3iibN4NayjHzA/viewform?vc=0&c=0&w=1&flr=0 HERE]. When the nomination period is over, up to five nominees are selected in each category by [[Turf Crew|Crew]]. During April, all [[Turfare|turfers]] will have the chance to vote for a winner in each category. The winners will be revealed at the [[Bonanza]] banquet on September 14th. <br />
<br />
==Voting for new Medals==<br />
The vote for the New Medal is over: [[Monumentalist]] won with a landslide and the work to create the new medal will begin soon. [[Monumentalist]] was “a series of medals for number of unique visited [[Monument|monument zones]]”. <br />
<br />
===A reminder what a [[Monument|Monument zone]] is:===<br />
"A [[Zon|zone]] placed in the direct vicinity to or directly on a monument. A monument is a type of structure that was explicitly created to commemorate a person or event, or which has become important to a social group as a part of their remembrance of historic times or cultural heritage. The zone name should normally reflect the monument name. Only one [[Zon|zone]] per monument can have this attribute."<br />
<br />
So, any old statue is not by default a Monument, any old building is not by default a [[Monument]]. It will take a little more than it being old, to make it a [[Monument]].<br />
<br />
==New [[Turf Crew]] member==<br />
[[Turf Crew]] has a new member: [[Användare:DXP2K|DXP2K]], a new [[Zonmakare|zone maker]] from [[Land:Tyskland|Germany]]. [[Turf insider|Turf Insider]] asked him a few questions in order to get to know him better :)<br />
<br />
1. What is your turfnick? Is there a story behind it, if so what?<br />
* My nickname on [[Turf]] is [[Användare:DXP2K|DXP2K]] and there is actually no real story behind it. DxP is the short form of DxPepper, the name I use for online games on the XBOX. I don't even remember what motivated me to add "2K", it was too long ago.<br />
<br />
2. How long have you been turfing and how did you found out about [[Turf]]?<br />
* I've been turfing since the beginning of [[2021]]. According to [https://warded.se/ warded.se], I recorded my first session on February 26th, 2021. A colleague recommended [[Turf]] to me. After all, I am a gamer and a biker, so it just had to be right for me ;) Due to the COVID-19 measures in [[Land:Tyskland|Germany]]...lockdown, ban on contact, etc. I had a lot of free time and now finally something to do. Alone, cycling with friends wasn't possible, but there was something to do.<br />
<br />
3. What is the best thing about Turf? And the worst (if there is any)?<br />
* Good question...[[Turf]] motivates me primarily through competition. It motivates me to go out and go for a ride even if I don't really feel like it. Just to score points if another player gets too close or I have another player within striking distance and can move up the top list. The bad thing about [[Turf]], if you want to call it that... [[Turf]] is a time waster if you want to be at the top. When you have work and a family it is sometimes really difficult to find time for turfing. Unfortunately, [[Turf]] takes a backseat and that can really ruin the current round.<br />
<br />
4. What made you want to become a zone maker?<br />
* I am absolutely convinced of the concept of the game and the more I was able to look behind the scenes, the more I wanted to take part. Since [[Turf]] doesn't seem to have really arrived in [[Land:Tyskland|Germany]] yet and is currently focused more on the hotspots around [[Kommun:Hamburg|Hamburg]], [[Kommun:Berlin|Berlin]] and [[Kommun:Bonn|Cologne/Bonn]], it was clear to me that I had to be one of the ones to change that.<br />
<br />
5. Which is your fave [[Zon|zone]]? Can be divided into a) the one you take most often b) the one you really felt "WOW" when taking<br />
* The [[Zon|zone]] I go to most often is the S-Bahn station Friedrichsberg in [[Kommun:Hamburg|Hamburg]]. I come by there often and it is well frequented. If things go well, you can come here several times a day. But the [[Zon|zone]] isn't anything special.<br />
* The [[Zon|zone]] with the biggest WOW effect so far was definitely the “[[Zon:AlbormozFort|AlbormozFort]]” zone in [[Land:San Marino|San Marino]] / [[Land:Italien|Italy]]. Currently the only [[Zon|zone]] in the dwarf state. The view over Emilia-Romagna is breathtaking from up there.<br />
[[Fil:Italien-2023-030-1.jpg|none|800px|]]<br />
The view in the picture is towards the east.<br />
<br />
6. Anything else you'd like to tell the [[Turf]] World about yourself<br />
* I founded the Discord server “Turfen in Deutschland” ([[Turf]] in [[Land:Tyskland|Germany]]) about 3 years ago. It offers a German-speaking platform for [[Turfare|turfers]] to be able to communicate comfortably. Ask questions, get answers or just show off your latest medal or the latest, most beautiful [[Zon|zone]] photo. Unfortunately, it is difficult to reach all the [[Turfare|turfers]] in the country and invite them to join us. Many people are alone in their [[region]] and don't even notice it. That's why I'll take advantage of the opportunity, if it's okay. > If you would like to join us, you can find the invitation link in the German Section of the [https://forum.turfgame.com/ Turf forum]. ;-)<br />

==Turfing in Extreme Cold –by [[Användare:Kygni|Kygni]]==<br />
“During the coldest night of my life, the night between 3rd and 4th of January [[2024]], I took a two hour long [[Turf]] trip after ice bathing and sauna. I started the trip at 02:53 from the center in [[Kommun:Luleå|Luleå]], the zone '[[Zon:Greysoul|Greysoul]]'. You see the view from the [[Zon|zone]] in the picture below.<br />
[[Fil:Greysoul.png|none|800px|]]<br />
I wanted to make a [[Zon|zone]] picture, but the phone had a few issues...<br />
<br />
From there I wanted to bike straight home because I was very tired, but I also wanted to truly experience the extreme cold so I took a little detour on my way home. As most [[Turfare|turfers]] know, having the phone on the bike is the most optimal, that way you can check the map whenever you need, instead of taking out your phone from your pocket, however in minus -35 degrees Celsius, even the most rugged phone will die on you within minutes.<br />
<br />
I had to bike from memory and have the phone in my jacket and even then, the phone struggled to keep warm and alive. I passed two thermometers on the way and both said it was minus 35 degrees, however the official SMHI (red. [[Land:Sverige|Swedish]] weather forecast service) observation in Kallax said it went as low as -36.4C this night. A friend's thermometer showed as low as -37C, and I heard that locally it went as low as -38C. When I passed the train station, every train was cancelled because of the extreme cold. The Cold Record for [[Kommun:Luleå|Luleå]] is -41,0, recorded in 1999, so it was very close this night.<br />
<br />
At the end of my [[Turf]] trip, I had a pain in my cheeks and had to use a flag around my face to prevent frostbites. I got to keep almost every [[Zon|zone]] the rest of the round since the warmest I noticed before the December round ended was the superwarm -23C. No one in [[Kommun:Luleå|Luleå]] will think -20C is cold for the rest of the winter.”<br />
<br />
The coldest I myself have been out biking in, was back in the middle of the 90's when I lived in [[Kommun:Umeå|Umeå]] and wanted to go to the cinema on a cold Boxing Day, so off I went in a crisp -28C. This was way before [[Turf]] and way before any cell phone that would die on me. The other day we had a lovely -18C here in [[Kommun:Uppsala|Uppsala]] and the phone survived 30 min outside on my bike's handlebars before it decided to give up in [[Zon|zone]] number 14, which luckily was only 100 meters from home.<br />

==[[Turf insider|Turf Insider]] at Turfwiki- by [[Användare:ojarnstr|ojarnstr]]==<br />
”Turfwiki is not only the place for all matters of knowledge of [[Turf]], but also its history. I started a project a few years ago to add all [[Turf insider]] newsletters to the Turfwiki. This project is now almost complete with over 10 years’ worth of [[Turf insider]] newsletters. <br />
<br />
https://wiki.turfgame.com/en/wiki/Turf_insider<br />
<br />
As always, I am hoping more people will join me in writing articles for Turfwiki. If nothing else, please at least write your own user article. Tell the rest of the [[Turf]] world, a little bit about yourselves and how you [[Turf]].<br />

https://wiki.turfgame.com/en/wiki/User:YourTurfname (eng. wiki)<br />
<br />
https://wiki.turfgame.com/sv/wiki/Anändare:DittTurfnamn (sv. wiki)<br />
<br />
Funny thing if you do this, you can check all pages that are linked to your user article. If you have been an active [[Turfare|turfer]] for many years… your name will probably come up in a few [[Turf insider]]s or other articles.<br />

'''New servers, tweaked regions and TeamTurfing'''<br />
<br />
==Results of [[Omgång 28|round 28]]==<br />
This round was indeed a round for the [[Turfare|turfers]] in the smaller cities! Usually we always see many [[Turfare|turfers]] from [[Kommun:Stockholm|Stockholm]], [[Kommun:Västerås|Västerås]] or [[Kommun:Linköping|Linköping]] high up on the score board, but this round top 5 consists of only small/mid sized town [[Turfare|turfers]], which is fun! It shows that now a days, You don't have to live in a big city with many [[Zon|zones]] and [[Turfare|turfers]] to be competitive, a step in the right direction for the game! The [[Gold medal]] in [[Omgång 28|round 28]] went to [[Användare:Kingenin|Kingenin]], for the second time. [[Användare:Kingenin|Kingenin]], who lives in [[Kommun:Kalmar|Kalmar]], made a smart move when deciding to go on a [[Turf]] holiday in the [[Land:Nederländerna|Netherlands]] bringing home the [[Netherland Explorer]] medal and a bunch of unique [[Zon|zones]] and points per hour. However, that is not enough these days, especially when You have serious competition from the [[Kommun:Jönköping|Jönköping]] turfer [[Användare:Toubkal|Toubkal]]. [[Användare:Toubkal|Toubkal]] pressed on, leaving no choice for [[Användare:Kingenin|Kingenin]] but to do the same when trying to reach [[Användare:Fiddes|Fiddes]] highscore from [[Omgång 26|round 26]]. Almost got it aswell, but that record will live on for another round at least ;-) The [[Gold medal]], however, was back in [[Kommun:Kalmar|Kalmar]] with [[Användare:Kingenin|Kingenin]] with a whopping score of 584 000 [[Poäng|points]]. [[Silver medal|Silver]] for [[Användare:Toubkal|Toubkal]] with around 420 000 [[Poäng|points]] and the [[Bronze medal|bronze]] goes to [[Kommun:Sundsvall|Sundsvall]] and one of our OTs (Original Turfers), [[Användare:Stonecape|Stonecape]], a real old timer can also compete it seems :-) Congrats to our medalists!<br />
<br />
==New servers, new way to report bugs and tweaked regions==<br />
At the start of [[Omgång 28|round 28]], [[Turf]] migrated to new and better servers. Some glitches and tuning later, we now have the capacity to welcome many more [[Turfare|turfers]] and at the same time the [[Turf]] experience should be much smoother for all of us! Some minor bugs still appear though and we always want You to report them, in order to get an even better performance of the game. For example we had trouble today with the new round, which unfortunately started an hour too early.. [[Turf Developers|Turfdev]] is sincerly sorry about that, hopefully turfers are understanding and forgiving :-)<br />
<br />
Speaking of bug reports.. Turf crew are now offically enhanced with two issue managers, namely [[Användare:TBIT|TBIT]] and [[Användare:Stonecape|Stonecape]]. They are working on a much easier way for the users to report bugs, and for the devs to easily recognize which the worst bugs are. For the time being the issue managers would love it if You report the bugs You find according to this: http://forum.turfgame.com/viewtopic.php?f=42&t=2763<br />
<br />
A much desired feature is now back in the game: You will now only change the [[region]] chat room when taking a zone in a region which is not your home region. This means You will still be on your home region top list, but will have the opportunity to be social with the people in the region you're currently in. You will stay on the top list of the region where You made the most amount of [[Zontagning|takeovers]] in the current round, so no more hijacking of other regions top lists ;-)<br />
<br />
==Team Turfing!==<br />
Thanks to our community we now have a third party solution for creating teams in [[Turf]]! The turfer [[Användare:Knegge|Knegge]] took up the old work of [[Användare:Pinky|Pinky]], refining it and making it work again and the results can be found at http://turf.kng/lagturf/ So gather friends and colleagues and challenge them! Actually, in [[Kommun:Västerås|Västerås]] we already have seen some team action, where the west side [[Turfare|turfers]] totally crushed the east side in an epic battle for domination :-) Many are happy to see this and at least I will be watching this feature hopefully evolve to something really great!<br />
<br />
==Misc news==<br />
As always, I will remind us all that we have an awesome community! The forum is active as always [https://forum.turfgame.com/ forum.turfgame.com], with discussions and loads of great information about the game.

==Results of [[Omgång 29|round 29]]==<br />
[[Användare:Mazarin|Mazarin]] is the name of a tasty pastry, probably named after the kardinal [https://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jules_Mazarin Jules Mazarin] (1602-1661). It's also the name of the [[Turfare|turfer]] who managed to smash records into gravel, already three weeks into this round. The quite unbeliveable accomplishment to score over 900 000 [[Poäng|points]] and making over 5 000 [[Zontagning|takeovers]] in one round will probably be unbested for quite some time! I think I speak for the entire [[Turf]] community when I take of my hat and humbly congratulate [[Användare:Mazarin|Mazarin]] for this remarkable achievment :-) In second place we have the [[Kommun:Malmö|Malmö]] turfer [[Användare:tremorbalk|tremorbalk]], also on a quite massive score of 500 000 [[Poäng|points]] and the [[Bronze medal|bronze]] goes to [[Kommun:Jönköping|Jönköping]] and [[Användare:MadMajk|MadMajk]]. Congrats to the three of You! Another fun thing to see is that the [[Land:Nederländerna|Netherlands]] got its first top 10 turfer at sixth place, [[Användare:ADRA|ADRA]], not bad :-)<br />
<br />
==Alpha testing [[Turf]] on the iPhone==<br />
As of today, a pre alpha version of [[Turf]] is live! About 30 happy alpha testers will be able to turf on their iPhones at this first stage. Very exciting indeed! Will iPhone turfers be as hardcore as the Android ones? Will we see epic battles between the two platforms? Will the iPhone GPS be Turf-worthy? Many questions that needs answering :-) To find out more, check out the iPhone section in the forums: http://forum.turfgame.com/viewforum.php?f=110<br />
<br />
==Regional prizes in [[Land:Sverige|Sweden]]==<br />
This round was the first in [[Turf]] history with real sponsored prizes for the regional winners in [[Land:Sverige|Sweden]]! The happy winners will be able to get on the train and travel anywhere they like in [[Land:Sverige|Sweden]], in first class (!) and hopefully find new interesting places where they can turf! :-) We thank SJ who made this possible and congratulate the regional winners!<br />
<br />
==[[Turf]] needs You!==<br />
If You're from [[Land:Sydkorea|South Korea]], The [[Land:Nederländerna|Netherlands]], [[Land:Danmark|Denmark]], [[Land:Norge|Norway]] or [[Land:Finland|Finland]] we need You! We would very much come in contact with [[Turfare|turfers]] that would be interested in joining the [[Turf Crew]] as an international marketing person. This means You would spend your own time marketing [[Turf]] in your country, in forums, blogs, news sites, news papers and TV. Of course this would be on a volunteer basis and the reward would be a much greater game when more people join in! And of course some perks of being a member of the [[Turf Crew]] :-) Don't hesitate to sign up! http://forum.turfgame.com/viewtopic.php?f=42&t=1845<br />

Also, a small reminder that [[Turf]] of course can be found on Facebook. Get the latest news and updates here: https://www.facebook.com/Turfthegame<br />

'''Happy Turf new year!'''<br />
<br />
==Different [[Turf insider|Turf Insider]]==<br />
The [[Turf insider|Turf Insider]] will have a slightly different look to it this time, I will write about the big things that happend during this year. Also, I'm happy to give You all an interview with this rounds winner [[Användare:Snusmumriken|Snusmumriken]]. A new and hopefully recurring part of [[Turf insider|Turf Insider]]!<br />
<br />
==Results of [[Omgång 30|round 30]]==<br />
This round was a snowy one, at least in [[Land:Sverige|Sweden]]. Winter struck hard and it was no surprise that the northern [[Turfare|turfer]] in [[Kommun:Umeå|Umeå]], [[Användare:bUs|bUs]], took an early lead, in hard competition with [[Användare:bill|bill]] out of [[Kommun:Västerås|Västerås]] and [[Användare:Bullmannen|Bullmannen]] in [[Kommun:Stockholm|Stockholm]]. However, lurking just behind this trio was [[Användare:Snusmumriken|Snusmumriken]], from the look of it guarding a top spot, waiting to strike.. And she did, a resolute finish week and she had no problems taking the lead and later on the [[Gold medal]]. [[Silver medal|Silver]] goes to [[Användare:bUs|bUs]] and the [[Bronze medal|bronze]] are in the hands of bill. Congrats to the three of You :-)<br />
<br />
==An interview with a winner==<br />
Name Mona a.k.a [[Användare:Snusmumriken|Snusmumriken]] Age 49 City [[Kommun:Linköping|Linköping]]<br />
<br />
Congratulations to winning a round of [[Turf]]! How does it feel?<br />
<br />
*Cool, I did it! Even better than I planned.<br />
<br />
What's the best thing about winning a round of [[Turf]]?<br />
<br />
*The medal will serve as a token, acknowledging the hard work I put in. But I will also remember when different [[Turfare|turfers]] started to cheer me on when they realized what was about to happen. Especially [[Användare:Mazarin|Mazarins]] messages in the snow in different zones and [[Användare:Mipson|Mipsons]] Christmas gifts, consisting of red "[[Zon|zone]] caramels" on my route home helped a lot, motivating me to show everyone that I could get a medal.<br />
<br />
What was your tactics for the round?<br />
<br />
*Tactics..? Ehh.. My plan was to get the 7 500 [[Zontagning|takeover]] medal, which would be around 40 [[Zon|zones]]/day. Then after about 10 days I realized I was much higher in the top list than I had expected, at this time I started thinking about a [[Bronze medal]]. If only [[Användare:Mazarin|Mazarin]] could stop stealing my [[Zon|zones]] during the nights! I had thought that he would take it much slower this round.. But we had a chat and he became my biggest supporter, cheering me on - but most importantly: taking my [[Zon|zones]] so I could take them again and get more [[Poäng|points]].<br />
<br />
How hard was it? And how much time did you spend every day on [[Turf|turf]]?<br />
<br />
*The first weeks I took about 50 [[Zon|zones]] a day, to get the [[Zontagning|takeover]] medal. Closing in on Christmas, I had a lot more free time and averaged about 150 [[Zon|zones]] a day. It took a lot of time, but I had plenty of that the last week since my children didn't spend Christmas with me this year and I was out between 8-13 hours a day. I wasn't fast on my bike, but the important thing was that I kept going and I felt great when I realized I had the strength to do so. I really enjoyed being out in the beautiful nature, even though I had some trouble with icy and snowy streets. But that was part of the challenge! The hardest part was to reveal to every [[Turfare|turfer]] out there that I was out bicycling instead of celebrating Christmas. Also, [[Användare:Bullmannen|Bullmannen]] seemed very disappointed when I challenged him, at this point I almost quit.<br />
<br />
[[Kommun:Linköping|Linköping]] keeps lining up victories in [[Turf]], why do you think the game is so popular in your city?<br />
<br />
*The bicycling here is pretty ok. We have some hills, but most areas are flat when you get there. The different parts of the city also have quite a few [[Zon|zones]] and [[Turfare|turfers]] have their routes on their way to work or school, many also go out for a quick session in their lunch break. Visiting [[Turfare|turfers]] can easily take 20-25 [[Zon|zones]] in the central part of town in a couple of hours.<br />
<br />
What's the best thing about [[Turf]]?<br />
That you get to be outdoors and the exercise. And that you always take a few more [[Zon|zones]] than you planned, which is good for the weight among other things :-D Also, meeting other people - both other turfers and those who haven't started to [[Turf|turf]] yet, they're usually wondering what you're doing.<br />
<br />
Which new features would You like to see in [[Turf|turf]]?<br />
<br />
*Bigger numbers on the blocktime counter, so you can read it when it's dark without reading glasses. Clicking a [[Turf|turf]] avatar and directly being able to send them a chat message, without having to type their name would be nice. I would also like to see [[Återbesök|revisits]] in a separate column in the warded stats and in the session history. It would also be great to have this information on [https://turfgame.com/ turfgame.com], so you could easily see how many of your [[Zontagning|takeovers]] are normal or [[Återbesök|revisits]].<br />
<br />
How do You think [[Turf]] will develop during [[2013]]?<br />
<br />
*My adjustments as above and a lot more [[Turfare|turfers]].<br />
<br />
What's your [[Turf]] new years resolution? :-)<br />
<br />
*Not to turf too much or too little. Spending time on getting more unique [[Zon|zones]], bicycling in other towns - I did that earlier this fall in [[Kommun:Nyköping|Nyköping]], which was very nice. I also went to [[Kommun:Mjölby|Mjölby]] and [[Kommun:Tranås|Tranås]] earlier, this kind of turfing is very fun!<br />
<br />
A big thanks to [[Användare:Snusmumriken|Snusmumriken]] who agreed to share her thoughts about [[Turf]]!<br />
<br />
==[[2012]] in retrospect==<br />
What a year [[2012]] was! In the future, when we look back at the history of [[Turf]], many wise men will say that [[2012]] was the year Turf really took of. Many fun and great things happened this year and I will try to list a few of them here today :-)<br />
<br />
The winter [[Bonanza:Sundsvall 2012|bonanza in Sundsvall]]. Sadly I couldn't be there myself, but the reports from the competition and the social activities around it was very positive. The winner was [[Användare:bUs|bUs]], someone I will mention further down this text :-)<br />
<br />
The article on swedroid. This was for me the most important thing that happened this year, a horde of rookie [[Turfare|turfers]] started to pop up all over [[Land:Sverige|Sweden]] and they kept coming! The servers took a heavy blow from all the new players, thankfully the [[Turf Developers|devs]] was there very fast, fixing the problems and keeping the game afloat. And all of the sudden the [[Zon|zones]] we had was not enough anymore! The [[Zonmakare|Zone builders]] almost had to quit their jobs for a couple of weeks, literally sprinkling [[Zon|zones]] all over the country. Very busy, but extremely fun times! The best memory I have is a screenshot someone posted in the facebook group (I think it was) where the map of [[Land:Sverige|Sweden]] was completely full of [[Turfare|turfers]] :-)<br />
<br />
[[Zontagning|Takeover]] #1.000.000. It happened in the end of July, [[Användare:MadMax|MadMax]] was the lucky [[Turfare|turfer]] to take it and got himself a brand new Nexus 7 for the trouble :-) The [[Zon|zone]] itself was renamed to [[Zon:MadMegaZone|MadMegaZone]]. And now, not six months later, we're rapidly closing in on [[Zontagning|takeover]] #2.000.000 which is awesome!<br />
<br />
The [[Bonanza:Västerås 2012|bonanza in Västerås]]. Early in September, the turfers of [[Kommun:Västerås|Västerås]] hosted the biggest bonanza yet. Around 65 competitors participated in the 2-hour hunt for [[Zon|zones]] in a beautiful and sunny Saturday. The arrangement was a success, the competition extremely exciting and the dinner afterwards a very nice round up of a perfect [[Turf]] day :-) Winner with a 1 point margin was [[Användare:bUs|bUs]] (again!). Maybe next year someone else will step up.. ;-)<br />
<br />
The development of [[Turf]]. For us who have been around for a while, it's easy to see the development of the [[Turf]] application. We remember the times when the [[Zon|zones]] didn't show themselves, we remember the times when the [[Poäng|points]] decreased instead of increased if you took a [[Zon|zone]] or had points per hour, we remember countless times of waiting for the [[Zontagning|takeover]] to be registered... This is now all in the past! [[Turf]] is so much more stable, many bugs have been fixed and this at the same time as many new features and [[Medaljer|medals]] have been incorporated in the game! New, expensive servers (thank you, [[Supporter#Donationsmedaljer|donators]]!) are one reason of this development but the big reason is the [[Turf Developers|developers]] who continously work hard to make this game as functional and fun as possible. A big new years cheer for [[Användare:Drassen|Drassen]] and [[Användare:Simon|Simon]] who spend so much of their free time just to give us a free and awesome gaming experience :-)<br />
<br />
Last but definitely not the least: The [[Turf]] expansion. I'm always glad to talk about the new countries that keep joining the [[Turf]] family. As we finish up [[2012]], we can find [[Turf]] fully launched in six countries. Our hopes is that during [[2013]], there will be quite a few more! Our hopes are of course that in time [[Turf]] will be popular all around the world, and we will keep growing, be sure of that. After all, why shouldn't people be able to play this game everywhere? :-)<br />
<br />
There are many, many other things I would like to write about but I would probably keep on going for ever.. I'll just finish this last [[Turf insider|Turf Insider]] of [[2012]] with wishing everyone a happy new [[Turf]] year! May all of you find new challenges and new [[Zon|zones]] in [[2013]], I know I will! And dont forget to make that little detour for that extra [[Zon|zone]] :-)<br />
<br />

<br />
P.S. The pre alpha version of [[Turf]] for iPhone is live since early December, this is great news and probably one of the most exciting things to follow during [[2013]] :-) D.S<br />

'''First round of [[2013]]'''<br />
<br />
'''Turf Wiki, the 5 million man, two million takeovers and more!'''<br />
<br />
'''As usual we have great news, both ingame and around it! Also I'm very happy to present an interview with Mr [[Turf]] himself, [[Användare:Drassen|Drassen]] :-)'''<br />
<br />
==Results of [[Omgång 31|round 31]]==<br />
[[Omgång|Round 31]] came to an end today and yet again we have a winner from the city of [[Kommun:Västerås|Västerås]]: [[Användare:Fiskelasse|Fiskelasse]], who stubbornly battled the snow, ice and cold to lay hands on the [[Gold medal]]. In the hunt he managed to make around 4 000 [[Zontagning|takeovers]] and the final score added up to over 700 000 [[Poäng|points]]. Impressive indeed, congratulations! In second place, a former winner makes another great performance in [[Kommun:Linköping|Linköping]] probably taking his own [[Zon|zone]] [[Zon:MazarinCastle|MazarinCastle]] a few times :-) [[Bronze medal|Bronze]] goes to another well known [[Turfare|turfer]], [[Användare:Toubkal|Toubkal]], who yet again showed us how the [[Turf]] in [[Kommun:Jönköping|Jönköping]] still goes strong, finishing at just above 400 000 [[Poäng|points]]. A big congratulation to all the medalists!:-)<br />
<br />
==Misc news==<br />
In all the snow and darkness of winter another great [[Turf]] milestone came and passed, the two millionth [[Zontagning|takeover]]! At 8:19:44 in the morning of January 16th [[Användare:Trysse|Trysse]] wrote him/herself into the history books by taking it. Exciting indeed, do we make it to 5 million this year? Who knows :-)<br />
<br />
For the first time in [[Turf]] history a [[Turfare|turfer]] has reached 5 million [[Poäng|points]]! Of course this was achieved by [[Användare:thunell|thunell]], who also managed to get the medal for 25 000 [[Zontagning|takeovers]] in the process. I take my hat off :-)<br />
<br />
[[Turf]] was yet again mentioned in an article, this time in one of [[Land:Sverige|Sweden]] largest newspapers [https://www.gp.se/ Göteborgsposten]. Great fun!<br />
<br />
If you go and have a look at [https://turfgame.com/ turfgame.com] you will find a brand new Turf wiki being created! Here we will gather all relevant information about everything regarding [[Turf]]. The best thing is that anyone can help, so if you feel like contributing dont be shy :-)<br />
<br />
Finally we are proud to present the last nordic country to get [[Turf]] status: [[Land:Island|Iceland]]! As of now [[Turf]] is live in this fantastic island and I promise you many nice experiences if you are planning a trip there! With [[Land:Island|Iceland]] on the [[Turf på kartan|Turf map]], we now can focus on some of the larger countries in [[Europa|Europe]]. Exciting times ahead of us indeed :-)<br />
<br />
==An interview with a [[Turf Developers|developer]]==<br />
Name Andreas ([[Användare:Drassen|Drassen]]) Age 29 City [[Kommun:Stockholm|Stockholm]]/[[Kommun:Karlskrona|Karlskrona]]<br />
<br />
First obvious question: How did you guys come up with the idea of [[Turf]] and how did it all start?<br />
<br />
*Back in 2005-2006, before the smartphone-boom, we had an idea about triangulating phone signals to get a position. And then use that position to make some sort of king of the hill game. Later on when the technology took a huge leap forward, it was time to start the process.<br />
<br />
When you first came up with the idea for the game, how did that idea look?<br />
<br />
*Not at all like today. We tried some concepts that differed a lot from what we can see today. One idea was to divide the entire world into a grid of [[Zon|zones]], so that zones were everywhere. A very interesting process that has given us a lot of guidance when new problems has arisen. Here is an old concept image that i just found btw: old image<br />
[[Fil:Turf-concept01.jpg|none|600px|thumb|]]<br />
<br />
Did you expect that lots of people would use [[Turf]] as an exercise tool?<br />
<br />
*No. The most insane thing i've heard was that one person lost 28 kilos in 2 months of turfing. Would be nice if developing the game had the same effect on us:)<br />
<br />
Could you even imagine that [[Turfare|turfers]] after a couple of years would grind up to 5 000 [[Zon|zones]] in a round in order to win?<br />
<br />
*Definitely not. But we started to see the potential of the game quite early after the first release, when [[Användare:Eddyueue|Eddyueue]] roamed the streets at night using inlines.<br />
<br />
What's the most rewarding thing about developing [[Turf]]?<br />
<br />
*Seeing users actually want to play your game was an unbelievable kick in the beginning. Nowadays it’s pretty awesome to hear stories from users playing the game. Solving issues and making the community happy is also quite awesome.<br />
<br />
How much time do you spend on developing?<br />
<br />
*Nowadays the job on my behalf is more organizing, marketing and planning. But i'd say pure development still average 1hour/day for myself. (For those of you who didn’t already know, [[Turf]] is made by volunteers on our spare time.)<br />
<br />
If you look into the past, what feature and/or bug fix etc was your favorite?<br />
<br />
*Making the game cope with much bigger amounts of users is something i believe has been of huge importance to the game. I can’t take any credit, but it was sure needed when new users flooded the game:)<br />
<br />
If you look into the future, what is the most exciting new thing to come?<br />
<br />
*I strongly believe that getting a limited iphone version to app-store is very important to the game. Saying “only on android” has proven to close lots of doors and opportunities through the years. Concerning features, we are looking at some interesting ideas on how to play co-op.<br />
<br />
How do you think [[Turf]] will continue to grow and evolve over the next couple of years?<br />
<br />
*I believe the newborn “competition” from google will help lift the entire genre to a new level which will benefit us all. More generally speaking, we aim towards making the concept of [[Turf]] time-proof. Even if android and iOS cease to exist, we believe that the specific zones and the [[Turf]]-gameplay can continue onto other platforms. Adapting to AR-glasses and such will be very interesting indeed.<br />
<br />
What's your best turf memory?<br />
<br />
*Seeing someone we didn’t know take the first [[Zon|zone]] ever via the app. Quite a feeling.<br />
<br />
What's your favorite ingame medal?<br />
<br />
*[[Order of Aquamen]].<br />
<br />
What's your favorite zone?<br />
<br />
*[[Zon:Skinnarzone|Skinnarzone]]. A must-take if you ever go to [[Kommun:Stockholm|Stockholm]].<br />

==Results of [[Omgång 32|round 32]]==<br />
[[Omgång 32|Round 32]] had a lot in common with [[Omgång 29|round 29]]: The winner is the same, a new record for a four week round (both [[Poäng|points]] and [[Zontagning|takeovers]]) and we'll be building yet another [[Vinnarzon|winner zone]] in [[Kommun:Linköping|Linköping]]. I take my hat off again to the supreme [[Turfare|turfer]] [[Användare:Mazarin|Mazarin]] :-) [[Silver medal|Silver]] goes to [[Kommun:Västerås|Västerås]] and [[Användare:Squirrel|Squirrel]] and the [[Bronze medal|bronze]] are now in the hands of former winner [[Användare:kingenin|kingenin]]. Nice with two [[Turf]] ladies in the top 3 :-)<br />
<br />
==[[Bonanza]]!==<br />
The first [[Bonanza:Uppsala 2013|Turf Bonanza of 2013]] is finally announced! The [[Turfare|turfers]] of [[Kommun:Uppsala|Uppsala]] invites anyone who wants to compete in this fast two hour [[Turf]] competition to their beautiful city in early spring, date is set to April 20th. There will be great fun in form of the competition itself, but also we'll have plenty of time sharing our Turf stories during the dinner afterwards. I can guarantee it will be a very exciting and fun for everyone, so don't hesitate to sign up in the forum! See [https://turfgame.com/ turfgame.com] for more details.<br />

==Results of [[Omgång 33|round 33]]==<br />
Here we go again! The grand lady of [[Turf]] shows one more time that being a [[Turf]] addict is the easiest way to harvest a [[Gold medal]] ;-) This round [[Användare:kingenin|kingenin]] joined a very exclusive club, winning her third [[Gold medal]] in a seemingly well controlled way. Some 2 300 [[Zontagning|takeovers]], mostly in [[Kommun:Kalmar|Kalmar]] is not bad and the winning score was some 457 000 [[Poäng|points]]. Congrats! [[Silver medal]] ends up in [[Kommun:Västerås|Västerås]], [[Användare:SunYour|SunYour]] got his second top 3 medal and making the rest of us in the [[Turf Crew|Turf crew]] look like slackers... ;-) [[Bronze medal]] also goes to [[Kommun:Kalmar|Kalmar]], I'm sure that [[Användare:kingenin|kingenin]] and [[Användare:Sune|Sune]] was equally happy about having such a good race together for the medals. Congratulations to the three of you!<br />
<br />
==Bonanza!==<br />
The [[Bonanza:Uppsala 2013|Bonanza in Uppsala]] is getting closer and closer! Only three weeks left before most of the [[Turf]] elite clash together in this two hour intense [[Turf]] competition. Questions are many, will the snow and ice finally be gone by then? Will we see [[Användare:bUs|bUs]] take his third consecutive [[Bonanza Gold]]? Will [[Användare:Zontjuven|Zontjuven]] beat me again...? Will there be kebab?! In three weeks we know :-) What we do know is that as we speak we have 70 [[Turfare|turfers]] who signed up, a new record already! We also know that we'll be getting fine experiences, meeting lots of new [[Turfare|turfers]] and I'm probably one of many really looking forward to the 20th of April! Don't forget to pre order your T-shirt :-) See [https://turfgame.com/ turfgame.com] for more details.<br />

==Results of [[Omgång 34|round 34]]==<br />
Here we go again! The pastry from [[Kommun:Linköping|Linköping]] have done it again! Three [[Gold medal]]s is of course better then two ;-) [[Användare:Mazarin|Mazarin]] won by far, as usual, leaving [[Användare:Bill|Bill]] from [[Kommun:Västerås|Västerås]] way behind in second place and on third we find the [[Kommun:Växjö|Växjö]] turfer [[Användare:Fidde|Fidde]]. Great achievements all of you and congrats on winning medals :-)<br />
<br />
==[[Bonanza]]!==<br />
The [[Bonanza:Uppsala 2013|Bonanza in Uppsala]] was a great success and by far the biggest one yet! A total of 125 [[Turfare|turfers]] had geared up for a fierce two hour competition in a beautiful and sunny [[Kommun:Uppsala|Uppsala]]. The Bonanza crew were well prepared for such an invasion of [[Turfare|turfers]] though! They were stacked up on both hamburgers and hot dogs and of course a good amount of Bonana [[Zon|zones]] :-) A total of 264 special [[Zon|zones]] made it possible for all the eager [[Turfare|turfers]] to find nice routes without having to queue for a [[Zon|zone]] ;-)<br />
<br />
Who won then? Well, it wasnt [[Användare:Fredrick|Fredrick]]... Getting a very good start, [[Användare:Sunyour|Sunyour]] took charge of the competition and had no big problems staying at the top until the end. At 1 686 [[Poäng|points]] and 107 [[Zontagning|takeovers]] he was 120 [[Poäng|points]] ahead of [[Användare:Gammelturf|Gammelturf]] at 1 566 [[Poäng|points]]. The [[Bonanza Bronze|bronze medal]] ended up with [[Användare:morgam|morgam]] with 1 423 [[Poäng|points]]. A big congrats to the three of you! They didn't just win medals, but also a very cool Turfman figurine which already has it's special place in the medalists home i presume :-)<br />
<br />
I would like to take the opportunity to give a huge thank you to the [[Bonanza]] crew, which made this event possible! It's a lot of work to organize such an event but you really came through, delivering everything in a excellent and professional way. I'm quite sure that there's many other turfers who feel the same way like me, without the volunteer work of the [[Bonanza]] crew these contests would never happen and for that we are all very thankful :-)<br />

==Results of [[Omgång|round 35]]==<br />
Five weeks of hard competition is to an end today, and we have as always a winner! Once again [[Användare:kingenin|kingenin]] brings back the gold to [[Kommun:Kalmar|Kalmar]], for the fourth time actually! Having four [[Gold medal]]s is unique and [[Användare:kingenin|kingenin]] is the first [[Turfare|turfer]] to achieve this, congratulations :-) During this round she was also first to collect the 2 500 unique [[Zon|zones]] medal and the [[Finland Explorer]] medal, also very impressing! [[Silver medal]] ended up in [[Kommun:Uppsala|Uppsala]] with [[Användare:TriggerHappy|TriggerHappy]], and [[Bronze medal|bronze]] landed in [[Kommun:Jönköping|Jönköping]] with [[Användare:hampew|hampew]]. All three medalists well over 500 000 [[Poäng|points]], it's hard work to snatch a medal these days! Congratulations to the three of you :-)<br />
<br />
==Turf launches in the UK!==<br />
As many of you probably have seen, [[Zon|zones]] are starting to pop up in the [[Land:Storbritannien|UK]]. This is just some teaser [[Zon|zones]] to make people aware of the biggest launch ever in [[Turf]], which is coming up very soon! On the 15th of June the map of [[Land:Storbritannien|UK]] will explode in an ocean of yellow [[Zon|zones]], the [[Zonmakare|zonemakers]] are still busy behind the scenes, making the final touches. The first wave of [[Zon|zones]] will include about 75 of the major cities in the [[Land:Storbritannien|UK]], so you can imagine what a workload this have been :-)<br />
<br />
We need You to tell everyone you know about this launch! [[Turf]] coming to [[Land:Storbritannien|UK]] is a massive event and we all want it to be a success, so now is the time for every dedicated turfer to spread the word! If you're going to [[Kommun:London|London]] over the weekend, bring some [[Turf]] posters! Visiting friends in [[Kommun:Manchester|Manchester]]? Bring some [[Turf]] posters! Going on a whiskey trip in [[Region:Scotland|Scotland]]? Turfstickers fits nicely on the whiskey casks ;-)<br />
<br />
The [[Turf Crew|Turf crew]] have a heavy marketing plan in place and we will work very hard to get people in the [[Land:Storbritannien|UK]] to find out about [[Turf]], but the best way to spread [[Turf]] is always you [[Turfare|turfers]] telling friends and colleagues about the game, so we do need everyones help in this launch! :-)<br />
<br />
==Team turfing!==<br />
I have been talking about the [[Turf]] series and team turfing before, but this round a challenge from [[Kommun:Stockholm|Stockholm]] to [[Kommun:Västerås|Västerås]] really made an impact on the game! Stockholm Slayers took on Beastmanland Maniacs in what became an epic [[Turf]] fight in many ways! Each team 21 [[Turfare|turfers]] strong, and most of these 42 [[Turfare|turfers]] have been turfing like crazy. More then half of the team players had a score over 200 000 and combined the [[region]]s of [[Region:Stockholm|Stockholm]] and [[Region:Västmanland|Västmanland]] made almost a third of the [[Zontagning|takeovers]] globally, quite an impact.. :-)<br />
<br />
The competition was fun in many ways, for example [[Kommun:Västerås|Västerås]] players invaded [[Kommun:Stockholm|Stockholm]] a couple of times and the word spread amongst the defenders - who hurried out to clean up the mess :-) Over five weeks the lead shifted a few times, but after about half of the round Beastmanland Maniacs managed to hold on to the lead and bring their victory home. Well deserved, I might add, and the [[Kommun:Västerås|Västerås]] team players well live up to their name.. ;-) This was indeed a very fun way to give [[Turf]] another dimension, and it wouldn't be possible without the help from third party developers - again, a big thanks to the turfer [[Användare:Knegge|Knegge]] who made turfing in teams/series available for the community :-)<br />

'''There can be only two, three million [[Zontagning|takeovers]] and [[Land:Storbritannien|UK]] launch!'''<br />
<br />
==Results of [[Omgång 36|round 36]]==<br />
Last round we had [[Användare:Kingenin|Kingenin]] taking her fourth [[Gold medal]], doing so being the first and only to achieve this so far in [[Turf]] history. Of course this wouldn't last longer then four weeks, and now a second [[Turfare|turfer]] can title himself [[Gold medal|Gold]] medalist four times over. Who else then [[Användare:Mazarin|Mazarin]], who lead Team [[Region:Östergötland|Östergötland]] to an easy victory over the half-danes in [[Region:Skåne|Skåne]]. As usual [[Användare:Mazarin|Mazarin]] didnt let any opponent come close and the road to his fourth [[Gold medal]] was filled with many, many [[Zontagning|takeovers]]. Speaking of [[Region:Skåne|Skåne]], both [[Silver medal|Silver]] and [[Bronze medal|Bronze]] ended up down there this round! [[Användare:Liljeswish|Liljeswish]] with over 3 000 [[Zontagning|takeovers]] came in second place, well ahead of the former [[Gold medal|gold]] medalist [[Användare:Kaninmage|Kaninmage]] in third place. A big congrats to the medalists!<br />
<br />
==Turf launched in the UK!==<br />
On the 15th of June, [[Turf]] launched officially in the [[Land:Storbritannien|UK]]. The launch itself was quite smooth and actually it didnt take much time before some [[Turfare|turfers]] started to show up on the map :-) Many touristing [[Turfare|turfers]] also have been taking the opportunity to have a look at some [[Land:Storbritannien|UK]] zones, which always is fun! Now we just have to hope for more brits to find our awesome game, as always remember to tell friends, colleagues and relatives in the [[Land:Storbritannien|UK]] that they now have a chance to become outdoor addicted :-)<br />
<br />
==Millions of [[Zontagning|takeovers]], [[Zon|zone]] reports on [https://issues.turfgame.com/ issues.turfgame.com] and Open [[Turf]] Events==<br />
The second day of this round, the three millionth [[Zontagning|takeover]] was made! This means that we made one million [[Zontagning|takeovers]] in less than a year, not bad at all! The lucky man to make the [[Zontagning|takeover]] was [[Användare:EzGenesis|EzGenesis]] in [[Kommun:Västerås|Västerås]], for that awesome effort he'll be recieving a Nexus 7 tablet in his mailbox :-) Congrats!<br />
<br />
Last week we started to move our bad [[Zon|zone]] reports from the [https://forum.turfgame.com/ forum] to the issueweb. We started by moving reports from only three [[region]]s ([[Region:Stockholm|Stockholm]], [[Region:Västmanland|Västmanland]] and [[Region:Östergötland|Östergötland]]) but after a small testing period all other [[region]]s will follow. We do this because we want to streamline all our issues and have them in one place and keeping the [https://forum.turfgame.com/ forum] clean for discussions. It will also be much easier for everyone involved to keep track of [[Zon|zone]] reports and adding screenshots or photos of bad zones. We're quite sure that this change will make reporting [[Zon|zones]] both easier and faster! See the forum for more information.<br />
<br />
As some of you may have noticed, there are two upcoming Open Turf [[Event]]s in the near future! An Open [[Turf]] Event is not as fancy as a [[Bonanza]], you wont get a [[Bonanza Participator|Bonanza Medal]] but an [[Eventor|Event Medal]], it's also a bit less heavy on planning and a Turf [[Event]] is not as regulated as a [[Bonanza]]. Every arranger of an OTE (Open Turf Event) is free to make the event as they wish. It could be an event that lasts for 10 hours, or an event that may have a fee to enter etc etc. These events can be arranged by anyone, and as I wrote earlier there are two upcoming events - one in [[Kommun:Jönköping|Jönköping]] and one in [[Kommun:Odense|Odense]]. If you are interested in participating, head over to the [https://forum.turfgame.com/ forums] and sign up! :-)<br />

==Round winners – November 2023 (Round #[[Omgång 161|161]])==<br />
Congratulations to the winners of round [[Omgång 161|November 2023]]: [[Användare:Veit|Veit]] from [[Region:Hamburg|Hamburg]] is the first German turfer to take a [[Gold medal]], [[Användare:greald_flux.rc|greald_flux.rc]] from [[Region:Berlin|Berlin]] took his third [[Silver medal|Silver]] and [[Användare:DaHunter|DaHunter]] from [[Region:Stockholm|Stockholm]] turfed home his second [[Bronze medal|Bronze]]. Well done mates!<br />
<br />
===Our German Crew member [[Användare:JoasK|JoasK]] interviewed [[Användare:Veit|Veit]] and here are the Q&A:===<br />
<br />
Q: Did you go for [[Gold medal|gold]] right from the beginning or did it happen by accident?<br />
* [[Gold medal|Gold]] was not planned. I first thought about Top 3 on November 10th when [[Användare:greald_flux.rc|Gerald]] asked if I wanted to go for it. Top 3 still felt surreal, but from then on I was prepared to invest more than usual. I believed in gold after week 2.<br />
<br />
Q: Did you have vacation so that you could concentrate on [[Turf]]?<br />
* No vacation, but I deliberately reduced my overflowing overtime quota on the first Monday because I wanted to create a cushion at the start of the round to keep me in the elite. In the end, 2 spontaneous floating holidays were added.<br />
<br />
Q: What do you do for a living?<br />
* Airbus / Systems Engineer Climate. Normally, 3 days of attendance are mandatory - I worked almost exclusively from home in November because it was more flexible - I worked before, between and after [[Turf]];) <br />
<br />
Q: How does it feel to be the first [[Land:Tyskland|German]] Gold Winner?<br />
* It actually makes me proud - just being able to wear the leader shirt for 4 weeks was motivating. But the most important thing about [[Land:Tyskland|Germany’s]] first [[Gold medal|gold]] was the interest, support and motivation of my [[Land:Tyskland|German]] teammates - it was touching.<br />
<br />
Q: What was the biggest challenge during the four weeks?<br />
* The biggest challenge was clearly the dark, cold, wet evening rounds in unknown regions around [[Region:Hamburg|Hamburg]] where the zones already have to be experienced/pushed hard under normal circumstances<br />
<br />
Q: What was your personal highlight during the last four weeks?<br />
* [[Region:Berlin|Berlin]] with the many [[Zon|zone]] highways and the meeting with the family of [[Användare:DasHuhn|Das Huhn]].<br />
<br />
Q: You said you were a bit ambivalent about [[Turf]]. What do you mean by that?<br />
* True: I’m not an unreserved [[Turf]] fan. I like cycling, love multi-day tours or long day trips to beautiful [[region]]s. Turf dictates the tours a bit - regardless of the attractiveness, only depending on the [[Zon|zone]] density. As a result, you enslave yourself somewhat, forgo social rides, spend more time alone on the bike and, in the most extreme cases, plan your vacation accordingly. On the other hand, I cycled almost 1600 km this month (would have been limited to work routes without [[Turf]]), got to know nice people and many [[region]]s.<br />
<br />
Hopefully we will see more [[Land:Tyskland|German]] turfers in [[2024]]! And not only fighting for the top 3 spots in the world.<br />
