AMA November Discussion Closed Already???
@RedSoloCup Please be a little more considerate of those agents who don't reside in the US and leave AMA discussions open a little longer. Quite annoying when discussions are opened when I'm sound asleep and then closed before I wake up. Never get a chance to ask a question 😁

Agreed, the thread opened at 4am and closed by 6:30am AEST. Had several questions to ask too!
Andrew varies the timings of AMA's each month.
October's AMA was more suited for those in the US, this AMA was more suited to those in Europe.
Next will likely be more suitable for those in Asia.
If you really don't want to miss out on having your questions answered, you might want to coordinate with others so they can ask the questions if you can't and the other way around
Ok. So I need to find someone in each country/region and provide them with my question to ensure I don't miss out
If there are too many questions they can just have a separate one for Wayfinder, it seemed like many of the are about that this month (and seems typical). And it wouldn’t have to bother RedSoloCup since he seems to mainly just pass along answers from others on that.
If it was split, the AMA could be more about Ingress and maybe have a bit more time for questions about Ingress. And the pokepeople would probably appreciate that too, now that they are first-class citizens in portal creation.
Isn't there a community leader specifically for APAC doing amas there?

The post time varies every month, so that different regions can ask questions in their time. Each thread is about 200 questions, which is more than enough for him to answer in a month.
Alternatively, they could have staff like @NianticCasey actually contribute to questions asked generally in the forums week to week, so we don't need a monthly answer dump.
The fact that we have so many unanswered questions is a testament to the communication strategy that @RedSoloCup is forced to work through.
would be better have a AMA just for Wayfinder/Opr stuff only.
I have hoped for the AMAs to be expanded in the past so it's not all on @RedSoloCup
I think it's more considerate to understand his availability might be constraint at times.
Probably due to @nimroza13 and @lonsriots combined 64 questions asked that we can only see via a search and thanks to @AgentB0ss for doing summaries in the prep thread.
Chiming in late here but most of it has been said already.
I try very hard to rotate the times so that they are "friendly" for a specific region. This month was EMEA. Next month will be APAC friendly. As I'm a team of one responsible for reading, curating, and seeking the answers to things I don't know, I'm not really able to handle more than 250ish questions (+ or - 50 depending on the complexity).
We've discussed doing a dedicated Wayfarer AMA now that it is live. I'll revisit this with the team and see what (more likely who) would need to be on call for that.
Where do I go to ask about the handful of red portals in my city?
They show up as swirling sky high red pylons IRL, and as red crosses on intel map. The portals behave just as regular portals. I have captured three of them, hacked them, deployed, looked around, nothing happens they just swirl huge red pylons up in to the sky. Found them about a week ago.
Googled about and I was surprised there is literally nothing anywhere but one comment in the ideas section of this community suggesting red portals in the future. Is this something we are supposed to investigate/keep an eye on or do everyone know what they are and I'm ignorant? I have screengrabs but I am not allowed to post pictures here.
Sounds like stuck fracker animations. Can you post the portal links here?
I would have posted links and pictures, really, but am not allowed yet. I registered in Ingress Community today.
What I can do now is give some addresses to copypaste and search up in intel map that will have the red ones near by. They are all in Oslo, Norway.
First address is - Svovelstikka - name of portal is Ettøring.
Second address is - Turbinveien - two portals Stepping Stones and Pelton Fountain.
Sad it's a bug, I was hoping that if we got the red ones all the way to level 8 maybe that would unlock something from the audio that level 8 portals played, maybe media. Or that something would happen if I managed to make a field of three. It would be so much fun if some portals had unusual properties outside of anomalies. Sad to see the red pylons go, they livened up the sky and were interesting.
Those are stuck fracker animations indeed. Leave them, or deploy another fracker or beacon to get rid of them.

Found them, thank you
