Both events are following the guidelines for a Corona safe get-together and there will, unfortunately, be very limited social time.
==Thoughts from a new zone maker==[[Turf insider]] interviewed [[Användare: StarDust|StarDust]], one of the first [[Zonmakare|zone makers]] in the [[Turf insider Maj 2021|last issue]]. This time one of our newest zone makers have answered some questions: [[Användare: inda7|inda7]] is located in [[Kommun: Umeå|Umeå]], [[Region: Västerbotten|Västerbotten]].
[[Turf insider]] interviewed [[Användare:StarDust|StarDust]], one of the When did you take your first zone makers in the [[Turf insider Maj 2021|last issue]]. This time one of our newest zone makers have answered some questions: [[Användare:inda7|inda7]] is located in [[Kommun:Umeå|Umeå]], [[Region:Västerbotten|Västerbottenzon]].e?
When did you take your first zone?18<sup>th</sup> of March [[2014]].
18th of March 2014. What part does [[Turf ]] play in your life?
Turf is always included daily in some way and the activity varies according to the season, so everything between only taking the home zone and to holiday planning.
That the zone is placed in a place that many people want to visit.
All the new zone makers started out by helping out in the [[Land:Storbritannien|UK]] and [[Land:Tyskland|Germany]] and then got a chance at some areas in [[Land:Sverige|Sweden]]. [[Användare:inda7|inda7]] did very well with placing zones in my home area of [[RegionKommun:Uppsala|Uppsala]], two on my daily route to work - she read old posts in the [http://forum.turfgame.com Forum], so no unwarranted nudges from me ;) The zones she made during April in [[Region:Uppsala|Uppsala]] are highly appreciated and visited, toting [[Poäng#Övertagningspoäng (TP)|take points ]] of [[Poäng#Zonpoäng|65, 80 and 95]]. So I can attest she is living up to her idea of the most important aspect of zone making: placing them in places many turfers visit! ==Let's talk about Abuse – the high-lights== Some years ago, [[Turf insiderTurfare|Turf Insiderturfers]] had an in-depth piece about abuse in Turf. Sometimes it is good to re-use old texts and remind the community about how not to behave.visit!

Abuse is when turfers take advantage of the game in a negative way and break the few [[Spelregler#Regler|rules]] that exist. Since [[Turf Crew]] are not all-seeing, any [[Turfare|turfer]] that discover a rule violation can write to [mailto:abuse@turfgame.com abuse@turfgame.com]. Do not blame or question the behaviour of a specific turfer on social media or in other public forums, since it rarely comes with any good, but could be devastating if the accused was not doing anything wrong. Report your suspicion to the [mailto:abuse@turfgame.com abuse-mail]. Different actions can be taken by Turf Crew depending on the kind of abuse and in some cases an assessment has to be done with regards to how serious the violation is and if it is a repeat offence.
The most severe rule violation is [[Spoofare|”gps spoofing” ]] where the turfer is fooling the game to believe the gps of the phone (and the turfer) is in a specific zone [[zon]]e while being somewhere else, usually at home by a computer. This is often done by newbies excited about trying their 'hacking' skills. This kind of abuse always result in the account being [[Spelregler#Avstängning|shut down/banned]].
Unsuitable Turf nicks are changed by [[Turf Crew]] when brought to the attention of Turf Crew via the [mailto:abuse@turfgame.com abuse-mail] and the turfer is informed by e-mail about why the nick was inappropriate.
Unsuitable Turf nicks Another kind of abuse that can lead to repercussions are changed by [[foul language in the chats in the Turf Crew]] when brought app. The first step is usually a short temporary chat-ban (the turfer can still use the app and take zones, but can no longer write in the chats). If a short temporary chat-ban is not enough to deter the turfer from abusing the attention of chat privilegas, a longer chat-ban is put in place, sometimes lasting 'forever'. In really severe cases, the account can be shut down. Turf Crew via can also ”clean” the different Turf chats by removing the foul language if it is deemed necessary. Again, Turf Crew is not all-seeing, so if your think your chats are in need of cleaning up, [mailto:abuse@turfgame.com e-mail and the turfer is informed by eabuse-mail about why the nick was inappropriate].

At least I have never been tempted to spend most of my waking hours every day for four or five weeks on my bike. So I set other goals for myself and my every-day turfing. Because it is something I do every day. For me [[Turf ]] is the best daily-exercize motivator, and I bike to and from work in all kinds of weather. About one hour in the morning and 30 min after work, since I am a morning person and after work I am hungry and want dinner :)
For quite some time I have been working towards 100.000 takes by going for at least 50 takes per day and last round I finally reached this goal, after 7 years, 2 months and 2 days making it an average of 38 takes per day since I started turfing. That does not sound so hard, does it? ;) I am lucky that I have plenty of zones on my way to and from work, and I also have several different routes I can take if the zones are blocked.
Another goal of mine is to take at least 50 [[Zon#Unik zon|unique zones ]] every [[Omgång|round]], in average over the year. It is much easier to achieve this goal during summer when the weather is nice and you often go on 1-2 day trips to near-by towns. When I started out, one goal was to take a unique zone each session...this became hard already after a few weeks ;)
Staying put in League 5 has for a long time also been a round goal for me. It is becoming harder and harder. One year ago, scoring 25.000 [[Poäng|points ]] per week was more than enough to be 'safe' from being demoted to Leage 6. This is no longer the case, in more series in League 5, you will need at least 50.000 points per week to be sort-of safe. You can always be unlucky and end up in a series where everyone turfs like the devil and then it is what it is.
After periods of extended sick leave and inability to Turf, the goals have been lower. That is the beauty of Turf, we can set our own goals accordingly to our life situation and where we live, work and play.
==Report issues in English, please!== Since the beginning of this year, we have international [[Zonmakare|zone makers ]] in [[Turf Crew ]] and since it is the zone makers that attend to the zone issues, please try to write your issue in English, even if it is located in a non-English speaking country. Many of you already do, so keep up the good work! ==Did you know...==
== Did you know... ==...that during [[Omgång 131|round 131 ]] a total of 9491 9 491 new Turf accounts were created world wide? 4984 4 984 of these took at least one zone[[zon]]e. The top six countries with newbies were [[Land:Sverige|Sweden]] (47504 750), The [[Land:Storbritannien|UK]] (101), [[Land:Finland|Finland]] (60), [[Land:USA|USA]] (27) and [[Land:Norge|Norway]] and [[Land:Danmark|Denmark]] (both 16),
