#Ingress First Saturday Seville September 2019
Hello. Up till this afternoon at least there was active the group in fevgames for this september IFS event in Seville: https://fevgames.net/ifs/event/?e=13046
A lot of people were coming and a lot of players were eager to assist. There were more than 40 players (22 from each faction last time I checked). Some of them have even bought plane tickets when the event was confirmed.
But suddenly it seems it has dissapeared. We hope it's just an error, but when we realized we got really worried. Looking for info of possible causes, I've read that it seems there must be a minimum distance between IFS cities of 150km. We are not sure if that might be the reason, but if that was the case, it would be a shame for the following facts:
1) Our event was being planned long before, and when the other events organizers heard about that, they took advantage just to bother us. You can check that it was just to bother us checking the playing area of the ENL co-leader and his "girlfriend" is Seville itself.
2) That event had only 7 players signed (minimum of 10 to go ahead) versus our 40+
3) Cadiz (the province where the other IFS location is) has already have lots of IFS, at least more than Seville.
4) The ENL co-leader (close friend to the leader) of the other event is used to beheaving this way. That's why he could not organize the event in the city he lives and plays, because he has no RES sympathizers (and not too many ENL to be true). If you need the nickname, I will provide it.
5) We didn't know what, but he KNEW our event could not go ahead, as some people told us he was informing players from far away not to come because the Seville IFS could would not happen. That's the reason we suspect of him.
6) He's made a Telegram group for the people that want to join the other IFS. However he bans whoever he wants. Some attendats to the Seville IFS were removed and blocked before they could event get info from their event.
7) As I said, the event was confirmed and there has been people working hard for it to happen. And some people has bought plane tickets!!
I thought this event (the first one lots of us were to assist) was about joining the community, and not about rewarding the ones that just want to ruin other people's experience.
PS. Sorry for grammar or typos. I'm not a native speaker and I'm texting from my smart phone.

Yo soy uno de los afectados.. asistente al IFS desde Palma de Mallorca, ¿quien me abona ahora el gasto realizado en los billetes de avión?, retirar un evento de esta manera me parece cuanto menos vergonzoso.
No entiendo por qué ha desaparecido el IFS de Sevilla, a ver si dal alguna explicación al respecto....
I don't understand this decision. Everything was perfect, we had all the things we needed and the people was excited about this due to that event was the first one done in Seville. I bought the tickets to go there and spent all day with some friends. However, I discovered that was canceled today.
Why have you decided this? What can I do right now? The only thing that I want is to end up playing this game. Please, think about this decision, there are some people (myself for example) that have spent money in this event.
I can't understand how they can cancel an event with 40 attendees ...
