Archetype Round Table Hello everyone and welcome to the Archetype Round Table! This discussion is run jointly by Ishira Tsubasa and myself. This round table was setup to help provide some insights and delve further into the archetypes in the Ingress story line. Archetypes are almost like a character’s role or generalized attitude in a story or setting. The members of this round table include both Resistance and Enlightened agents and we hope to post them at the end of each month! The members of this round table includes both Resistance and Enlightened agents. This session is in regards to the Omniscient Archetype which is currently portrayed by ADA in the story line, until a new Magnus is created. 1) What do you think of when you hear Omniscient Archetype? Relique (Enlightened): When I hear Omniscient i think of a know it all, or someone who sits in the center of a info gathering network. They often tend to be the brains of an operation and if they don't run it they often are c...

Archetype Round Table Hello everyone and welcome to the Archetype Roundtable! This is run primarily by Ariel Diana with a little help from myself. Thank you Jennifer Brozek for giving us the ideas and help to set this up! 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 include both Resistance and Enlightened agents and we hope to post them at the end of each month! This session is in regards to the Trickster Archetype which is currently portrayed by Misty Hannah in the storyline, until a new Magnus is created. Now onto the discussion and questions! 1) What do you think of when you hear "Trickster Archetype"? Arielsmurfeater (Enlightened): For me, when I hear Trickster Archetype I think of of Loki, Pan, Huehuecoyotl, Coyote, Hermes, and several others considered Trickster gods and g...

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...

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.

Glyph Drill Down: SEARCH XM DISTANCE DESTINATION Welcome to the Glyph Drill Down Roundtable. These are roundtable 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: SEARCH XM DISTANCE DESTINATION 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? @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. I seem the point in...

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. 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...

Glyph Drill Down: Hide Them Inside/Not Complex Intelligence Welcome to the Glyph Drill Down Roundtable. These are roundtable 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: Hide Them Inside/Not Complex Intelligence 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? @ 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...

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? @Wikkedimp / Enlightened First thought when I read this was ADA and Klue. And, in all honesty, it was hard to get past it to see the glyphs behind the sequence. So I dug into the glyph sequence to figure out what it meant to me. We must be mindful of technology or we will lose who and what we are. Technology is moving so fast these days. Everyon...

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? @Essayons75 / Resistance This sequence seems way more ambiguously ominous than most we’ve seen so far. What does is mean by Presence? Just Human existence, or are Humans interfering inside the portal network in some way that will have a negative impact on reality? Is traveling through the network causing problems on the other sid...

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? @SHODANn / Enlightened This is a two-part sentence. The first two glyphs should be read as “The N’Zeer are hidden.” The last three glyphs should be read as “And we are too.” The likely sender of this are the Shapers. So what hides both the Shapers and the N’Zeer? The divide between our world and theirs. It suggests that the barrier between us and the Shape...
