All Good Things Must Come To An End

All Good Things Must Come To An End Hello Investigators, G+ has served as the main platform since the inception of Project Isthmus. With G+ shutting down in less than a month, and given our personal allocation of time "behind the scenes", we wanted to wrap up a handful of items here prior to the shut down. I. Re-cap of accomplishments, and thank yous II. Where to find / how to contact Project Isthmus post G+ closure III. The unreleased "Final Script" of PI I. Re-cap of accomplishments, and thank yous. We will keep this brief - not listing each accomplishment, not catching everyone we really should in the thank-yous. If you take your memory's and mind's back to December 2015, when we founded PI, it was a much different scene in the Investigation than it is today. Back then there was a G+ Community that a handful of people knew about and participated in. There was also a secret Hangouts channel that was very hard to learn about, let alone get into. The founde

Archetype Roundtable

Archetype Roundtable Hello everyone and welcome to the Archetype Round Table! This discussion is run jointly by Ishira Tsubasa and myself. Sorry about the delay in posting this, but real life has been getting busy for both Ishira Tsubasa and myself. This roundtable was setup to help provide some insights and delve further into the archetypes in the Ingress storyline. Archetypes are almost like a character’s role or generalized attitude in a story or setting. The members of this roundtable includes both Resistance and Enlightened agents.This session is in regards to the Spiritualist Archetype which is currently portrayed by Stein Lightman in the storyline, until a new Magnus is created. 1) What do you think of when you hear “Spiritualist Archetype”? Arielsmurfeater (Enlightened): For me the spiritualist is someone that deals with the spirit.. either the spirit realm, the human spirit or the spirit of nature. They deal with something that people can't touch, see or have a physical

I feel that this archetype will always believe that humanity will survive no matter how good or how bad things get.

I'm not sure what to think right now.

Originally shared by Ishira “Glyph Hunter” Tsubasa I'm not sure what to think right now.... I've noticed a Black Van around a lot lately, but ive always laughed at the thought it would be "Them".... I just thought it was my mind playing with me, my paranoia getting a bit too much of me, but.... Then this showed up.... The mention of something ive never shared was enough for to believe this and the contents of this envelope have a name that has definitely been on our minds.... The mention of glyphs in here has me excited... What is the importance of this map? I was given no instruction of what to do with these pieces, they were just handed to me... Trusted to me.... They must know i was going to share it. I am an Investigator to my core. Pieces to the puzzles being put together, i hope together we will figure this out. One final piece, an arrowhead.... Did they know that #Obsidian was when i joined investigations? That this was when everything changed for me.... Its a

Thank you all!!!!! Originally shared by Ishira “Glyph Hunter” Tsubasa 2 years ago during the #obsidian anomaly I finally got the courage to pitch an idea to the investigation groups Project Isthmus and Operation Essex . At the time glyphs had been put on the obsidian arrowheads and the question was brought up what do we know about Glyphs? There was a lot of older data but nothing was too recent and I was a newbie investigator who was fascinated with the glyph sequences that I saw were changing during anomalies. So I asked if anyone ever tracked their sequences and would be interested in joining a project with me. I was already starting to track my own glyphs but I wanted something more public and needed help gathering more sequences. There were so many questions about how sequences were given to us as agents and i aimed to answer as many of those questions as possible with the help of not just one faction but both. I was truly humbled by the amount of people that were willing to help m

Glyph Drill Down: Together Progress Recharge Present Journey Welcome to the final Glyph Drill Down Roundtable. These are roundtable examinations of glyph phrases. This investigation is Faction/Level agnostic. ~@GaanEden Glyphs are a memetic language imparting concepts to influence the human mind. In this Roundtable, we will discuss the following glyph sequence: Together Progress Recharge Present Journey Given what has come before, what do you think this phrase means? What is the receiver supposed to understand? Does it matter who the sender is? How is this glyph sequence supposed to influence the human mind? @BigMatty / Enlightened I read this glyph sequence as two portions “together progress” and “recharge present journey.” I take this first portion to mean that “together” both Enlightened and Resistance travel down the same path. That is not to imply that they desire the same outcome, nor does it imply they do not—simply that for this portion they are both present. For me it does im

Hello agents!

Originally shared by Ishira “Glyph Hunter” Tsubasa Hello agents! I have a special request/challenge from another agent I would like to see if we could do. Can I get a member of each faction at each of the shards and glyph the portal, at the same time. Then flip the portal and repeat? This is an experiment to see what Glyphs will come from the shards for Investigations and I would appreciate it if I could glyph sequences from the shards as I do not have a shard close to my location at this time.

What is the receiver supposed to understand? Does it matter who the sender is? How is this glyph sequence supposed to influence the human mind? @jaicat / Enlightened I seem this sequence is “Search XM for finding the distance and the destination.” The distance: I seem the distance mean “the distance of time.” Hank Johnson said something he had long been considering to be part of increased XM activity is the concept of hyper-threading, of time existing along multiple paths.

Name a glyph! I did a rather large study and now id like to invite everyone to give names to these glyphs! Originally shared by Ishira “Glyph Hunter” Tsubasa The Community Glyph Project I drew a ton of glyphs this morning for one thing. Suggestions on new glyphs that fit our current ones. By that i mean every glyph i drew today is either a mirrored or flipped version of another glyph. My reasoning? Because we know there is a relationships between glyphs and their mirrored, flipped, opposite, etc glyphs. Its logical that instead of making new glyphs, that the mirrored, flipped, opposite, etc glyphs would come into the system before any real new ones are made. I could be wrong about that, do not take my word for it. Most of these glyphs have already been a topic of conversation for people who study glyphs. Achim Many have been questioned on why they arent in the system or why glyphs like Easy and Difficult are so different and not mirrored or flipped, while others like Success and Failu

I know it's not story related. Please let it stand. It 's for the good of Ingress. At least, I think.

I know it's not story related. Please let it stand. It 's for the good of Ingress. At least, I think. Originally shared by Andreas Decker (thedeacon1972) Dear Ingress agents, we all know that there are cheaters among us. Some of them have been exposed recently, others will remain hidden for a while longer. Niantic has acted very seldom and mostly not at all when we reported them. Understandably, this has led to a feeling of resignation and dejection. Why should we act against cheaters if nothing derives from our actions? But imho, this is not the right path to take. We as players must show Niantic that we still care for our game. We - players who act fair and square - are the overwhelming majority. We should tell Niantic we're still there. And we should do so by using COMM. Set your Comm to global next time when you open your scanner and tell them: We play hard, play tough, play fair. Tell them this when you capture a portal. Tell them this when you close a field. Tell them

What is the receiver supposed to understand? Does it matter who the sender is? How is this glyph sequence supposed to influence the human mind? @ Lucoire/Enlightened “Hide Them Inside Complex Intelligence” This sentence seems plausible and grammatically valid. Demands however to think about who “they” are. I think it is safe to assume that “they” are neither N’zeer nor Shapers—as they have glyphs of their own and thus the Sequence would be different. The same argument coul
