Cap from current location?!?

  I think it should be if you are physically located in the area of the turf you get a 30% attack and defence bonus. (You could turn this off in the settings if you feel it encroaches your personal privacy)
  You would still need to follow all other rules to cap

  This would help you defend your home turf, and help you repel outsiders. It would bring more GPS to the game.
  

  This would most likely help smaller players who have less turf

  This would actually hurt smaller players who would become easy targets for migrant cappers. The rational behind this ideal is said to be a desire to benefit from the GPS feature but I suspect the true motivation is to implement a strategy that would open up a source of turfs that is currently blocked "as Mystery stated" by cap limits. I also see this benefitting stronger players much more so than weaker or less establish ones. It would usher in a Darwinian era that would all but eliminate the lower levels.

  Many of the suggestions I see are of a similar nature in that the presentation of these ideals suggest altruistic thoughts but upon closer examination one discovers issues and advantages that weigh heavily on the side strength for strength's sake.

  There are two things that determine the timing of an attack. When a turf matures and when a vendetta matures. Both take 24 hours for a reason - so the defender can have time to prepare. And that's fair.

  This doesn't add to the GPS anymore than planting a turf at your location and waiting 24 hours.

  Plus how do you defend against this? You can't physically cap the attacker out the area. Are you supposed to drive around looking for someone with an iPod so you can beat them up? No.

  No balance in this (not that there is much balance in the game anymore).

  @Augustine, it bypasses turf limit rules if the player doesn't already have a turf there. For example, if a player is 1,000 turf over limit, but has no turf in Florida, with this rule they don't have to tear down or increase their limit. They could just cap & spread into a completely new place without having to tear down or cap their way there.

  I understand your point that there isn't a GPS advantage anymore. I just don't have a good suggestion for what to add.
  

  That should say Aubergine, not Augustine. I'm sorry about that!

  How about an attack boost if you're under the turf you're capping. Or a defence boost if you're at the turf being capped

  I just realised, I don't want this. It would allow RazorEdge to break the blockade of my island....

  👍This is a great idea. Even give a player more strength for getting close to the actual dot❕that will encourage weaker players to sneak up on larger players👏

  There would have to be a defense implemented I'm sure. Like an EMP loot item that "knocks out" the cap from location ability for a period of time possibly 24hrs - 7 days random penalties (kinda like carbombs do damage) or something of the sort.

  There are pro's and cons to both sides of it, I believe that capping from current location would bring a new era into the game and broaden its gps features, however it would probably be exploited like everything else has been at one time or another (where's my 4k henchies?😜) until the devs work out fixes to counter balance things better....

  How about the ability to destroy a turf with GPS? So it acts like a V without the defense decrease.

  That would benefit those that actually travel around but not allow them to amass more inf. through capping.

  **assuming cheating with the geocoder isn't very prevalent**
