So long, and thanks for all the AP

Last week I hit 500,000,000 lifetime AP and did my third recursion. I am now a 0 AP Level 1 agent, and retiring from Ingress. I started and end Enlightened.


My goals for retirement were the following:


* Achieve all onyx medals that weren't dependent on travel (done)

* 85% overal capture-to-visit ratio (only managed 83.83%. Would need roughly a thousand more new captures and no visits to meet 85%. Oh well.) 

* Be in Top 100 Global Agents (in Top 100 since 2017, retired at #72)

* "Clear my orbit" - capture all portals in my vicinity. Of the nearest 10,000 portals, I have captured all but 22. Seventeen are on gov-only land, and some others unreachable except by boat. So 99.78% is good as I'm gonna get.


So I didn't quite hit them all, but the half billion AP mark was too good to pass up, and 2^29 (536870912) was too far away with my decreasing play availability.

I've had a great time playing Ingress, and meeting folks of both factions online and IRL. Thanks for years of fun, Niantic.


And to all agents, Happy Hacking.
