Anyone else playing this and want to be friends (besides @Nabiki because she already is)?
My friend code is 1852 0079 7420
WU Community day on Saturday. I donāt know what itās going to be like, but I may be meeting up with a couple of other players.

Iām trying it, but no idea if itās compatible with my lifestyle. (I live in the middle of nowhere and mostly drive to work and back.)
My friend code is 5531 9763 6159. Getting an error on yours, @Force10 .
OK, gave this a try: I played the earlier Nantic game (Ingress?) for a couple days but bailed because it basically had nothing for me of value. At home I walk a reasonable bit when the dog wants to do so, but the nearest ānodeā for Ingress was up the street a ways, a bit out of Noodleās usually toilet route.
This seems a bit better. Thereās tons of ālittleā stuff to do local to me. The free crafting pickups, challenges, etc.
That said, the core gameplay seems to be energy-limited drawing symbols on a touch screen and may burn out quickly.
Still not sure itās the game for me, but it seems much more āadvancedā than Ingress. I do keep thinking of the novel Rainbows End which had a subplot involving AR overlays to the world, including a Discworld-themed oneā¦
Iām still more of a Pokemon Go player, but Iām having some fun with this.
Thatās because I typed it wrong. I edited it.

2 friends now. Presumably the ladies @Force10 and @Nabiki. Or random strangers. Who knows!
I assume if I receive an invite and accept thatās all thatās needed and I donāt need to do anything on the other side.
Yep. Weāre WU friends now.

itās entertainment while walking the dog. Iām kind of amazed that I tripped the āAre you driving?ā sensor while walking the dog: He has an agenda while walking, so lots of stops to sniff and generally a meandering path. Iām guessing it was a GPS blip or realignment that caused it to think I was speeding.
Walks may be limited the next couple days due to heat wave, though.
I have a problem with spell energy. There are so many traces out there, but getting enough spell energy to deal with them all is nearly impossible.
Edit: After this latest update, the game keeps crashing too. I got kicked out at least 20 times yesterday.
Iām kind of bummed with the latest update. The Brilliant Harry and Hedwig traces were giving out 500 XP each before and now theyāre only worth 150. I was able to power level pretty hard with the help of a couple of Brain Elixirs before they did that. I notice Iām getting kicked out more too. Iām lucky in that I work downtown and there is literally an inn on every corner. Including one I can access while sitting at my desk.

Iām down at Glen Echo Park with my wife today while she works on a couple projects (one of which is admittedly for my mom) and itās interesting how different it is being in a more developed area. Itās parkland, which in guessing is different from the city. Lots more stuff to do: I feel like Iām surrounded by inns, while I have one near the house if Noodle wants to walk the right way.

I left my phone at home today so I guess no foundables for me until I get home.
Itās too hot here to really walk outside.
We donāt have that problem. Yet. August and September are generally the hot months for us.
Iām sitting inside trying to get spell energy out of a greenhouse.
I havenāt really jumped onto this one hard. I played the first couple of days and may play more if I can get the gumption.
My Friend Code is: 1723 7799 6823

Added you.
Weāve gone from blistering heat to near-hurricane, so walking outside seems like a bad idea right now. (Slight hyperbole.)
I will admit to urging Noodle to walk specific directions so as to position me near the one Inn near the house I can hit easily. It wasnāt like I dragged him around. (That was getting him to leave the house at all.) Also he got what he wanted, which involved a ramble through the other side of the street, approaching but not actually going to the playground, and then through a grassy area.
More WU related: Flags? Thereās a flagpole when I glanced at the screen near work and I donāt know what it means. Looks like it might denote an area where critters are stronger/different?

The flagpole means that you will find more traces of that particular family nearby.
