“Russian Flora and Fauna”. Results of 2019

GPS tracks. What, how and why
- Details
Introduction
More than six months have passed since we included GPS-tracks as necessary evidence (confirmation, proof) of the activator's stay in the activated territory.
Almost one and a half hundred logs provided with GPS-tracks were accepted from two dozen operators during this period.
The GPS-tracks were not always perfect, sometimes requiring additional effort and time to verify, and sometimes it was not at all clear even what, where and when it was.
The main complaint from potential activators was: “Why are you make things more complicated?! Make it easier and get more activators!”
I can not agree with these complaints. Although this is just a hobby, in WWFF, as in any other game, there are certain rules and conventions that must be followed if you decide to play this game.
