    Of course they do

    Unless ALL schools become multi uses it will stay a NO. No matter how much you twist it

    The idea that these school don't have recess, that kids don't go out and play during that time, on I don't know....playground equipment. That no barrier or fence was shown in that last area between the play ground and the buildings (There was one between the sidewalk and the play ground).

    Interesting to that segregation was still in effect when that concept was first introduced. Just found that interesting.

    I have about 50 questions I want to ask..... But here is a few of them. That will be asked when they open it up.....


    Neighborhood parks, can you clarify the intent of watching parks closely in OPR Help? "Please be sure to closely review Candidates whose real-world location appears to be within 40 meters of private, single-family residential property, and Candidates whose real-world location appears to be in a neighborhood park. To be clear, Candidates should be rejected if their real-world location appears to be on private, single-family residential property or might encourage people to go onto private property (e.g., because the real-world location is at the end of a private driveway)."


    Can you let us know the current active within the last 3 months broken down separately with a total of opr reviewers currently still playing and reviewing?


    What is the typical agreements per person per day for opr reviewing?


    Since pokemon go submissions are being reviewed by OPR's in ingress, isn't it about time to get OPR in the hands of Pokemon Players for countries that have submissions to help the OPR community. It has been over a year that pokemon go has started to get submissions, and eventually OPR reviewers will need help with the workload.


    Would it be allowed to support and submit churches, sports fields, rec centers and playgrounds that are on school property, if the local community has a dual use agreement allowing the fields to be utilized for recreation and park use? This could be done with the support photo allowing proof that the dual use agreement exists.... This would allow a lot of walking communities to have access to portals nearby them that are not on PRP. (Baltimore County, MD has pioneered the dual use agreement since 1952, so it existed well before any of the games were ever evented that schools are also parks and recreation centers. HIstory for why it should be allowed and unique from others for Baltimore County, MD. Accessible for the community with sidewalks. Can be confirmed via satellites and photosheres if needed, to include a recreation sign for the park use in the area first.) My theory behind this is similar to the eiffel tower or the statue of liberty, they are things other areas in the game are not allowed because they do not have the dual use agreements that we have currently. If there cities or counties adopted the dual agreements, it could then be uploaded to confirm they are eligible during their submission process. (Website links don't usually work for people outside of their major states, that photos tend to help.)


    Flags and flagpoles, why are these not in the guide and allowed to be approved? They show history for people in the community, country, college, rec sports teams, etc.... They typically have sidewalks for people to walk up to and meet at for working together and are usually located at safe locations.


    Fishing Spots with a picnic table, Boat Ramps and Piers, i see a mix opinion on these in return submissions. Per help "Candidates where the photo is of  (Includes pictures of landscapes as well as submissions where the subject is a lake, river, stream, mountain, volcano, waterfall, etc.; photos that include man-made points of interest - plaques, signs, etc. - near natural features are acceptable)." Per help they are to be approved because they are man-made points of interests. I feel like if water fountains and trail markers are allowed and just pretty, real life locations that people use for adventurous actives. Please let me know your thoughts. Thanks.


    Water Towers, Silos, Transmission Towers, Cell Towers, Electrical Lighting Towers for sports fields are all unique structures that are identifiable from satellite views. They are all used for utility purposes for communities.. I believe transmission towers that are located in parks, should be eligible to be portals, as long as they a low voltage and do not have perimeter fencing around them. They have existed in parks for over 50 years and considered a historic landmark just like water towers and silos. Can these be allowed to help some of the smaller in size local neighborhood parks to have a few extra portals to help their player bases?


    Game map & OSM map updates for Ingress hasn't been updated and is no where near the current state of other games for land features and roads, when can a more updated game map for ingress be updated? There is ongoing construction all around the world every day, and currently you can't navigate in game properly as the roads, sidewalks, etc... are not shown properly.


    Parks Rules Signs, to me they feel like Terms of Service for the game, and should be allowed in parks as POI's. They have the do's and don'ts, other important bulletins and information needed for the community to see and follow. Having the park hours on the sign can prevent any trespassing issues as a result.


    Park Restrooms and Drinking Water Fountains. For a game that promotes exercise, it doesn't promote these aspects that are very important to players when spending hours at parks. Restrooms and hydration facilities are very important to the community and should be POI's. They typically have sidewalks leading up to them and areas for the community to stand around comfortably around outside while waiting to use them. What are you thoughts?


    Outdoor Seating Areas (Picnic Areas at parks). Currently in game you are allowed to have pavilions and gazebos. But the community is large in player base than just a couple pavilions, it is possible to have it to where outdoor seating areas at parks are allowed. They are promoting exercise by them being used as they are typically in the heart of the parks. They allow a gathering spot for friends and family to enjoy under shade or by a shoreline near the water. They could include a picnic table and a fixed grille to ensure that they are not abused.


    In OPR settings, is there a way to be able to link a players Pokemon Go and Wizards unite accounts to OPR? This could help with adding medals to all games and being able to reduce the multi-gaming is that players have between games. An incentive for playing all 3 games with an increase voting power seems logical and makes sense, because reveiwers who play all 3 games understand the game plays for each making them a better reviewer.


    During Submissions, is there a way to add a check box as to which games you think this submission should be for? Seeing which games a submission is for, gives the reviewer a better idea of the intent for the game use. Reviewers can have the ability to add checks to other games too. This would clear up issues where reviewers believe they are for one game, when in reality they could be for ingress or pokemon go or wizards unite. Having a summary note section for that specific game and the reasons why it would help the community seems like a great update idea. Thanks for you time.


    When will Niantic have a community forum and guides/help for all 3 games to discuss submissions and reviewers together? Having all 3 games in the same forum seems to make more sense especially with eliminating the headaches of going between all 3 games different sites that have different information, on top of niantic support and OPR that are additional resources. One location for all information for OPR reviewers and submitters should simplify the process for everyone.


    In OPR help, in the rating section it states "Rate 5 stars if you can find the Portal candidate in the map and the marker is on or within a few feet of the real-world location of the object" Can you define a few feet away? Currently, my opinion is if the POI can be seen from a sidewalk, that sidewalks are a better public open space area, than the actual POI. Sidewalks allow for pedestrians to have access to the portal. Is it okay to assume that per guide if the POI is visually seen from a portal located on a sidewalk nearby, that is a safe enough distance to submit the portal location for and allowed to be rated a 5 star for location and accessibility?


    How is the updated gudie coming along for OPR? Any news on the release date? It was mentioned by Casey on the Portal Appeals that it was coming soon.


    And a few more that I haven't the time to type at the moment.

    @TimerCIock No criticism here just notes.

    "Since pokemon go submissions are being reviewed by OPR's in ingress, isn't it about time to get OPR in the hands of Pokemon Players for countries that have submissions to help the OPR community.

    -AMA rules specifically not asking about other games.

    "My theory behind this is similar to the eiffel tower or the statue of liberty, they are things other areas in the game are not allowed because they do not have the dual use agreements. If there cities or counties adopted the dual agreements, it could then be uploaded to confirm they are eligible during their submission process."

    -Unsure of relation to Eiffel tower and Statue of Liberty in this statement

    "In OPR settings, is there a way to be able to link a players Pokemon Go and Wizards unite accounts to OPR?

    How about: Where do you suggest placement for a portal pin to be? Currently In OPR help, in the rating section it states "Rate 5 stars if you can find the Portal candidate in the map and the marker is on or within a few feet of the real-world location of the object" Can you define a few feet away? Should Portals be placed on the POI or the nearby pedestrian access such as a sidewalk? (You may want to ask if sidewalks are the only form of allowable pedestrian access too.)


    Also remember, the rules state that each question must be in its own post and not to ask multiple questions in the same post.


    Edit: Guide is spelled incorrectly in the last question. :)

  • AMA rules say not to talk about other games but niantic change the rules with allowing pokemon submissions..... they should be allowed as they are direct impact for opr....

  • AgentB0ssAgentB0ss ✭✭✭✭✭

    I mean you can ask whatever you want but the rules specifically say not to. I was attempting to help.

    "Don't ask about other Niantic products. This AMA is Ingress focused."

    In all seriousness I suggest working on the Pedestrian Access question to make it more clear and concise.

  • Driving at the moment. Plan on tweaking a few. Including adding firepits to the outdoor seating areas.

  • They are worded for ingress and opr. They should be allowed.

    Loving the 24 hour edits now. Instead of an hour.

    @TimerCIock I know you will likely butcher the meaning of these but I thought I would post them anyways. The Pedestrian Access is worded pretty poorly but it’s more details at least.


  • 0X00FF000X00FF00 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Note: A gazebo in a park IS still valid, as the entire park itself IS "pedestrian access". Just one example.

  • AgentB0ssAgentB0ss ✭✭✭✭✭

    Yes exactly the entire park would be considered a footpath.

  • harkonnnenharkonnnen ✭✭✭✭

    This right here is what immediately gets you off side with people here. Even though something is stated in no uncertain term you declared NO this is how it should be and act like well that settles that.

  • KliffingtonKliffington ✭✭✭✭✭

    Yeah I keep trying to pull back and approach him in good faith but it's frustrating how little regard he has for instructions

  • harkonnnenharkonnnen ✭✭✭✭

    It can't be any clearly 'Most accurate location'

    If you need to move it because the actual location is dangerous....than the POI is invalid.

  • Well... the cage bars over a certain someone's profile image are certainly encouraging.

  • Lol. Glad you enjoy them. You have been wanting them since day one.

  • AgentB0ssAgentB0ss ✭✭✭✭✭

    How is it that the entire community you play in and on here disagree with you and you still think its everyone else?


  • People can disagree. @Jasonwhut would and still agree that the dual use agreement exists and that the schools around have displayed signs that they are parks and used for mixed ages from youth to adults at various different schools. Including adult sports teams at elementary schools....

  • AgentB0ssAgentB0ss ✭✭✭✭✭

    Way to change subjects. My question had nothing to do with the dual agreement at all.

    Again do you ever reflect and think maybe you are wrong and community and this forum are correct?

  • Geeze... Now he's moved to Colorado...



  • Uh... I said they already existed before me too. Wow what a surprise. Ingress players have approved dog poop stations around the world.

  • AgentB0ssAgentB0ss ✭✭✭✭✭

    What do you know ignoring the tough questions as usual.

  • Just proves that some people are misinformed, or ignore the Criteria. .

    I did 1 -star this one, of course.

  • AgentB0ssAgentB0ss ✭✭✭✭✭

    Or read something on here and thought it was okay because some ego-maniac has posted 100 times that POOP Stations are cool!
