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

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 this before you close your scanner.

Share this post. Spread the word. Let's get our game back.

    Speaking for Isthmus - in general terms, just like Operation Essex​​​, we keep Project Isthmus​​​ free from non story (official or fan) things, so that its a safe haven.

    This is a good original post by you Andreas Decker​​​ and in your reshare here you note that its not the usual content, and you explicitly ask it stays. You're a fantastic agent and community member, someone we support and someone who's likewise supported us. Your post is in no way offensive nor derogatory to any group or person. Certainly we will keep it posted here as you ask.

    Thank you for being a good partner over the years.

    We will make this be the only post related to this topic though, and make sure any discussion on the topic is limited to this thread. (This includes our chats.)

    Speaking personally - Like any agent who cares about Ingress​​​, I have a lot of thoughts on this topic. However, I do not have much capacity for #Ingress related time - intensive social media, or even in-game events these days. (Unless they include a badge, like #Exo5Controller because badges are my favorite part of the game 😂) Consequently I've just been lurking.

    Best,
    Matt / @BigMatty

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

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
