Let me guess what happened.
Sorry but never going to happen.
The whole point of streaks is...
File this under: Mistakes Not To Make Again
Honestly, this badge should go the same way as Guardian for similar reasons. Epoch is a good replacement.
There are Sojourner-hunters around?
Yeah, luring agents out for a good time, to forget all about getting in their daily hacks. I hear its a dark side of Ingress. Agents, be careful!
No, that's not the reason Guardian was retired.
It's an "all or nothing badge". Either you are able to maintain it perfectly or you're set back to 0 and have to start all over again. It's a bad design vs the cumulative nature of pretty much every other badge.
The hunters were just the pain mechanism that set you back to 0. A guardian badge that kept you able to tick over "ownership" of a specific portal over time, with breaks, would have been like Epoch. But a pain in the ... to implement from a coding perspective, because you'd have to track ownership periods for every portal the player has ever touched.
This has to be trolling. There was a lot of scraping just because of this badge. The toxicity from this single badge was bad enough to push communities apart.
Sorry about that
Set up multiple alarms, to remind you to hack, morning, afternoon and evening.
It used to be a lot harder before covid-19 due to there not being a Drone.
I currently stand at 3,155 days, which is how long Sojourner has been going for since it was implemented.
The way it was implemented was a hack, Brian said as much.
But rather than get rid of it, and making many people angry, added a new stat, Epoch, which had the added requirements to actually be at the portal, and not a Drone.
My Epoch is at 131 weeks, and is unbroken.
However if you do break your Epoch, all is not lost, just continue, and it will track completed consecutive days in a week, and increment weekly
It's the new meta. Forget TBG, now we're in operation mind**** and we'll make you forget ingress exists for 24 hours.
Lots of alcohol, or some new PC or Xbox or Playstation game. Ohhh yeah...we gonna get your streaks! Muwahahaha!
It so is the reason Guardian was retired, and why they gave 10 days' grace to anyone who had narrowly missed out on a plat or onyx.
Yes it's all or nothing, but Sojourner isn't hard now that drones exist. Yeah it sucks if you get taken to hospital or something, and bad luck if you go on holiday to somewhere with no mobile signal (though in that case one could argue it was a choice you made) - but in general it's not possible for another person to deny your streak, as it was for Guardian (and still is for those who keep vanity 'guardian' portals).
