Füsters . . .

As of today, we’re 70% through your Füste and GG is hopeful that you’ve gotten almost everything you wanted out of it so far. It’s not easy, this game, and it’s travels a long road in both time and energy expended. But you’re closer to the end then the beginning now and it’s time to knuckle down and finish strong!

You already know this but Trippelts have arrived and the parameters to score +3p for daily exercise can be found HERE. And remember, along with Trippelts comes a mandatory day off (from exercise only) once a week, whether you’re earning a Trippelt each day or not. To report your day off, look under the Exercise drop down menu on the DRT and select: "It’s my mandatory rest day!”. Select this to report your day off.
For those who earned all three of their daily points from Jan. 31st to today, Feb. 21st, tomorrow you’ll earn your third Olympic Ring and have only two more to go to score the big bonus at the end!
This week sees the release of the Künstlerfüste Allowance Standard Bonus (aka “ART”). This bonus is simple but can have a deceptively large impact on your game . . . (just ask the Rough Legged Buzzard who basically lost WF21 to Coyote 100% because of this bonus). Here’s how it works. Draw something using your STRAVA feed. Create a picture of something using your run route, or walk or cycle or whatever route. The bonus page has the basic scoring parameters on this. Do something truly special and you’ll earn the +5p. Put minimal effort in and you’ll score +1p. It is completely up to GG to decide what you’ll score here. He’s done many STRAVA art projects in the past and is intimately familiar with the time and effort it takes to do this right. If you’re in the top 10 and vying for a win, you best come up with something special. If you don’t and you score less than the full 5p, GG does not want to hear about it. Also, remember that you must complete a SIngelt parameter to score this bonus (so spelling out a word by walking half a mile will get you a big fat donut hole AND no points for your daily exercise). Good luck!
And just a head’s up, very soon, say within 7 days, we’ll be celebrating Füstenween, wherein you can earn a +3p bonus for dressing up like your Totemfüste. So you might want to gather supplies and costume ideas in advance. If you’re into dressing up and all that.

That’s it for today. This has been a really incredible game so far with an impressive number of players looking to finish in the top 25. Don’t flake off now!
