November Lima 1331 Seattle Meet Up, 30 Oct 2016 Along with the mysterious intel dead drops ( https://plus.google.com/+JenniferBrozek/posts/Ex777a5Kipr ), the NL 1331 van was in full regalia. A good xfac crowd of over 100 Resistance and Enlightened agents appeared and had a great time. Here is the group photo ( https://plus.google.com/+NovemberLima/posts/W3KdZeMcN64 ). Prizes were given out for various best stats… I didn’t catch people’s names as they won. I suspect they’ve already posted about it. Project Isthmus was on hand to help Ethan out and to have a small costume contest. Each member of the Project Isthmus founders that were at the event chose their favor RES and ENL agent costumes then decided who one first, second, and third place. The costume contest Enlightened winners, in order: Agents TheGladerunner, Daftasabrush, and olskinny . The costume contest Resistance winners, in order: Agents Egyptus, Arett, and TrggrHppyNana . Congratulations agents! You helped make it a fun nig...

Glyph Drill Down: Chaos War Conflict Discover Peace Welcome to the Glyph Drill Down Roundtable. These weekly examinations of glyph phrases. If you are interested in joining in, please let me know in the comments. This 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: * Chaos War Conflict Discover Peace* What do you think it mean? Who is the sender and what is the receiver supposed to understand? How is this glyph sequence supposed to influence the human mind? @Wikkedimp / Enlighened At first, this sequence made little sense to me, so I broke it down and looked at the definitions of the words. I understood what the words meant but was still struggling with how these words could possibly fit together. Then it came to me. This sentence is a proverb. Chaotic (matter) war conflict(s) with discover(ing) peace Chaos only makes sense in the sentence if you take in...

NL 1331 Noir Night Intel Dead Drops ===== UPDATE: PAC pulled in some of his contacts and got the rest of the dead drop intel. Read about it here: http://investigate.ingress.com/2016/10/31/discoveries-from-seattle/ ===== Last night was a fabulous NL 1331 Meet Up with Ethan. There will be more on that in a post tomorrow. I know what most of you are waiting for is information about the intel dead drops. Project Isthmus has received the following dead drop information from Enlightened Agents NetrunnerX (John - https://plus.google.com/117300783498219751189 ) and BeKoolio (BeKoolio BeKoolio). Thank you, agents, for your quick and diligent work. What we’ve received is the following: Images of papers in pieces. Based on our investigation, we have determined it is a document of three pages. Here are the three pages. We have not determined their correct order. We hope you agents can help us with this. I know someone out there knows what this is. It is so familiar... so alien... This is what I...

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?

Originally shared by Andreas Decker (thedeacon1972) Dear fellow agents and prophets, the time of Via Noir draws near. As promised, my competition "Third Eye" will take place again. The king of prophets, Echlori, must defend his title against the other competitors. Will he be to able to do so or will his reign end? We will see ... But that´s not the only way to fame and glory. Those of you who have participated in "Third Eye - ViaLux Day II" have another chance. The title "Emperor of Prophets 2016" will be awarded to those who have gained the most points in both competitions. This title can be yours forever, because there will be no more anomalies in 2016! Until now, we are competing for the title and the glory that comes with it. I will inform you if anything changes to this regard. This time, the prizes will be awarded to the title winners if there are any. I will draw the winner among those with the same points, if necessary. The rules are: - All predict...

Using NIA Ops Approved Format Of Missions For An Event Competition Something that we have encountered at Project Isthmus​​ during the past year is a thing we have watched our friends at CLIME​​ also experience… Both our groups have wanted to use Missions in a manner that is slightly different than Ingress​​ intended. This also heavily applies to #FS #FirstSaturday events. After A LOT of thought on the topic, I have the following proposal/method that I’d like to release, both in hopes that it can solve the problem & also to gather community feedback, as many of you may have ideas to improve upon this idea! Problem Statement: Ingress players who host events would sometimes like to use Missions for competitions at their events. As is, there is no way to either schedule a mission’s release date & time – nor is there the ability to “password protect” the start of a mission. This results in the inability to use Missions to gate a competition, because they must be published early ...

Hello everyone. A fair amount of time has passed, and thus far we do not have a 100% successful resolution to the chat sync problem. As such - our Project Isthmus Street Team channel pair, as well as Ishira Tsubasa 's Glyph Journal pair (and a couple other dependent channels) remain un-synced. After analysis, this is what has happened: We started with a Telegram authentication error, for unknown reasons (we suspect NWR as per our leet-tagged post re-shared here.) That was actually quickly remedied, but then it was immediately followed by a change in Hangouts API protocol. This Hangouts change affected not only our provider Sameroom.io, but also the leading community made sync bot/service EST Bot. During this time, our provider sameroom.io migrated back-end engines, moving to the new Microsoft Bot Framework. Sadly, this framework does not yet support image relay to/from Telegram. Because we believe image relay to be very important to our content - we have not yet re-synced the ch...

Originally shared by Andreas Decker (thedeacon1972) Hello to all! Since "Third Eye - ViaLux II" was such a huge success, I decided to start a series of events with the same goal. As long as the number of anomalies on a day is equal to or larger than eight, a competition about the correct predictions for each site will take place. Below eight, it will be up to me to decide whether or not a competition will be held. You will find all announcements about upcoming competitions here. Feel free to start and participate in any discussion that´s taking place here. I´ll expect you to treat your fellow prophets here with respect - anybody not doing so will be expelled at an instant. Nevertheless, let´s have fun here!

Originally shared by Ishira “Glyph Hunter” Tsubasa The Glyph journal is officially six months old with over 40 agents from both Enl and Res that have contributed to. There is almost 500 pages of glyphs and glyph research in the first part of the journal and now we have start a second one with currently 25 more pages of glyphs, as the first is now heavily lagged. We have recorded glyphs for 6 different first Saturdays and 5 different anomaly dates, starting in Obsidian and powering through Via Lux. People have asked what we have learned so far and that's a bit difficult to explain. I will not speak for all my glyphers, and please take this as only my opinion and not theirs. Though they did help in me coming to these conclusions i know that not everyone sees the glyphs the way i do. That is greatest thing about this study, is that it has so much potential, and the glyphers that contribute to it are open to learning and sharing their opinions on them. Here is what i can say. There are...

Originally shared by Andreas Decker (thedeacon1972) Dear fellow agents, my competiton "Third Eye" has ended. I´d like to thank all 163 agents for making this such a huge success. When I planned this, I had expected 50, possibly 60 participants. I was stunned with this enourmous feedback. I hadn´t expected this, but we do have just one winner. Yes, only one of us was able to predict all sites correctly. And the winner is ... Echlori! The title "King of the Prophets" is herefore awarded to you. Wear it with pride, and may fame and glory come with it ... at least until the next competition starts. As I mentioned before, the anomalies on Nov. 12th will see a follow-up to this Event. Yesterday, I was informed that #XF-CC Community sponsored a USA swag pack for this Event. Since this wasn´t known at the start, I drew the winner of this between all participants alike. And the winner is ... JannesVanSlooten! Please contact me over HO and give me an address for delivery. Con...

Originally shared by Andreas Decker (thedeacon1972) Dear fellow agents, the #XF-CC community has sponsored a USA swag Pack for my competition "Third Eye" Since this wasn't known at the start, I decided to draw the winner of this from all participants alike. This will happen tomorrow just as the announcement of the "Queen/King of Prophets". The Sites of the upcoming Anomalies have already been announced. Looking at those, the results of #ViaLux and the number of participants in "Third Eye" I decided that there will be a follow-up to it. Be on the look-out for Information about it in the next 4 weeks.

Dear fellow agents, a whopping 163 participants have submitted their predictions for the outcome of the ten anomaly sites tommorrow. As promised, find below a Google Sheet with all predicitions and an overview with the percentages for each site. Until Monday, I will devote my time to my #ViaLux adventure - so the final result will be published then. I thank all agents for this overwhelming number of participants and wish all of you good luck! https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ach-8Ne9ldAJUvsx_g_2doyZpzDhUTrdhyAdhK_DOUk/edit?usp=sharing

Project Isthmus cards in Canada Canadian security had lots of questions about the Project Isthmus bio cards. These cards caused a commotion at the scanner, brining over additional agents.

Tampere Ingress Meet Up, 3 Sep 2016 One of the things I really wanted to do while I was in Finland was play Ingress—unique captures and hacks FTW! Ingress is a wonderful game to help you find neat sights and hidden gems in a new city. Plus, you get to meet awesome people. Tracon helped us set up a Project Isthmus sponsored Ingress meet up in Kalevankangas Cemetery. I also got in touch with some of the locals (Agents Cthulthist and pimpelipom) to spread the word to the local Ingress players who weren’t at Tracon. 27 local players showed up and a good time was had by all. The Husband (Agent Morgyan) set up a crossword puzzle with a passphrase that the agents had to solve and then find me somewhere in the cemetery—I was hiding with Morgyan running around capturing portals—to give me the correct passphrase. The first two RES and ENL players to show got prizes of very rare (1st place) and rare (2nd place) load out cards. Everyone who played received a Project Isthmus bio card. Everyone who ...

Originally shared by Andreas Decker (thedeacon1972) I have had contact on a Personal HO with the man who called himself first Juud4i and now Syphax. Whether he really is or not, I can't say. He claims to live with a N'ZEER named Uno Deus for millenia and to have actually contact with A Detection Algorithm​ right now. After his first appearance and some Q&A on his thread, I decided to investigate further and inquired for more Information about Endgame. I then was contacted by agent Wes Stankiewicz​ who shared some conversation with me between him and Syphax. I don't publish that - I think this is up to Wes. He then invited me to a Hangout with him and Syphax. Syphax talked a lot about Endgame and many things he told us beforehand, he published later on his account. But there are two things I like to share: He stated once that the Shapers want humanity to become like them, while the N'Zeer want to work with us to become better themselves along with us. When I asked i...

Welcome to the Project Isthmus Roundtable: A Detection Algorithm (ADA) . In recent months, ADA has come under fire by Jarvis for existing. Not all Enlightened agents support these attacks—or even understand why they are happening. Not all Resistance agents care what happens to ADA—or want to save her, sentient or not. What are your thoughts on what has happened, and is happening, to ADA? Will it help or hinder one faction or the other? Is ADA evolving? Do you believe ADA is linked to the New Wave Resistance and Enlightened agents we’ve been hearing about? @JediLight/ Enlightened ADA is an exceptional artificial intelligence. Created by 2 men under XM influence in an area full of it. I believe that the XM is what made ADA so exceptional. However, her moral compass is slightly askew and she is willing to kill without remorse. I still really like ADA, even with that fault. She could learn morals at some point I am sure Lately, a small group of Enlightened people have been trying to kill h...

Make sure your audio is on.. Originally shared by Bernard Sadaka (YRAR) While i was giving an ADA to agent Harout Bajikian (@Haroutba) this morning, he made a big discovery... While picking the ADA from the ground, the scanner said: "Jarvis Virus acquired"... I didn't believe it at the beginning... but then i tried it myself and it is true. What does this mean? Did Jarvis merge with ADA? Is ADA now part of Jarvis? Is this a result of the attack on ADA? Can other agents also please confirm this?

Glyph Drill Down: Weak Human Destiny Destroys Civilization   Welcome to the Glyph Drill Down Roundtable. I will be running these weekly. If you are interested in joining in, please let me know in the comments. This is Faction/Level agnostic. ~@GaanEden   Glyphs are a memetic language imparting concepts to influence the human mind.

Who is the sender and what is the receiver supposed to understand? How is this glyph sequence supposed to influence the human mind?     @thedeacon1972/ Resistance Every time I get this Glyph Message I start to shudder a bit. It sounds sinister and threatening.  But after pondering over it for a while, I started to think otherwise.   The Shapers language has no word for “leader.” So they substitute it with human and destiny, meaning a human that controls the destiny of people. If this human is weak, he or she destroys the ci...

I would highly value the thoughts of Project Isthmus on this... Originally shared by Steven Wilson Following the triumph of the Enlightened in the first and second phases of the Aegis Nova Anomaly series, the stakes for the Tokyo Anomaly are becoming clearer. As Jahan's letter to Resistance agents explains ( http://investigate.ingress.com/2016/06/29/a-letter-from-jahan/ ), whilst the Resistance are incapable of acting offensively against Jarvis, they can still fight to defend ADA from the attack being launched by Jarvis and his Acolyte. What do we know: We know that the Enlightened victory during the first stage provided Jarvis with sufficient energy to penetrate Klue's mind for ADA's vulnerabilities. We know that Jarvis has already begun to use this information to probe ADA and test her defenses. (See http://investigate.ingress.com/2016/06/23/adas-odd-behavior/ ) We know that the Enlightened will attack ADA with "a compelling message" that will cause the AI to ...

Okay guys I did some research about the wristbands... thats what I got: There are most likely 3 different rare pack wirstbands (see pictures from me and M. K.) If I put my VR wirstband on top only the glyphs from type 3 rare wirstbands match up. Type 1 only gives two matches (Unbounded and Escape). Type 2 only gives three matches (Unbounded, Escape and Pursue/Chase). With type 3 all 4 glyphs match: Unbounded, Escape, Pursue/Chase and Attack/War. My question, is there a different vr wirstband which will match type 1 and 2 glyphs? Please add picture of you vr wirstband if you have. I hope this helps so far :) Matt Stevenson Anthony Fontana

But this is somewhat redundant with the Avoid glyph, and the use of the Self glyph seems to be significant​. The Distance glyph is sometimes shown as “Outside”, and I think these con...
