Hi all, joined Ingress yesterday and interested in learning about lore and glyphs. Was pointed here by someone in faction chat. I have no idea how to use G+ so please pardon any technical errors I may make.
Anyway, what should I do to start learning?

    As a level 1-5
    Venture out to a nice park during the day time. Explore the portals that are conveniently located near you. Walk around, capture and hack portals. Complete the training missions to understand the scanner and how to play the game. There are some good training material out there. Also check out Ingress​ community and check out https://fevgames.net/mobile-menu/ingress-menu/

    I will look at training missions, I don't think I've checked those out yet. I hit level 5 earlier today though, it seems I'm at a pretty advantageous location.

    To be clear, I'm figuring out the game all right; I just want to know where I can get caught up on lore and glyph syntax, etc.

    Glad you joined Hal H​! Its not every day someone says in comm they want to learn about lore to (attempt to) understand contradictory glyph messages... :-)

    Yeah, I have no idea what to make of the contradictory glyphs. The discussion linked above helped, but I still want confirmation! I'm up to Operation 13Magnus in the Youtube channel, so maybe I'll start forming some of my own theories once I get up to date.

    Hal H one of the reasons I believe there are the contradictory glyphs - I belive there is more than one sender of the glyphs, each with their own agenda.

    Impressive progress so far on checking out the lore, nice work!

Project Isthmus and November Lima   Team Up For Some Special Missions, With Prizes! (Day 4 / Release 4 Thread) Continuing the exciting new mission contest series we started with Linda B  and Ethan Lepouttre earlier in the week as they tour NL-1331 through many great cities, on their way to the Orlando anomaly! This mission series commemorates the four Obsidian Artifact glyph images that the Project Isthmus team posted; now that we have reached the final glyph we released, this will be the final mission in this particular series.   The rules are simple: 1) The day of the NL event you will find a new mission available in your city (close to the NL venue) 2) Be first (or one of the first) to complete that mission and learn it's pass phrase  3) Return here and make a comment that includes your in-game agent name, and the pass phrase If you are quick enough, you will qualify for a first place prize to be given to you in person by Linda and Ethan at the NL event! (Yes, you must be presen...

Title

Glyph Talk 1/5: The Senders I’ve got a series of related topics and theories when it comes to the glyphs and the glyph language we see coming from the portals. In this first post, I’m going to focus on the senders themselves. Before I begin I want to set out a couple of definitions.  -- A meme is an idea or concept that spreads from person to person within a culture. -- A memetic language is a language based on units of culture.   Based on the research gathered from around the world and shared with me (thank you Agent Codon011), I want to propose three theories.   Theory 1: Glyphs are a universal memetic language. Theory 2: There are two different ideological groups of senders. Theory 3: There are some glyphs that one side will not use because it is not part of their culture.   Theory 1: Glyphs are a universal memetic language Rather than an actual written language like humans have today, glyphs impart concepts directly to the viewer’s brain where they are mulled over and considered by...
