        <description><![CDATA[<p>Dear peoples of the Niantics, at some point in time you have decommisioned the quantum capsules, and at that time you said it would return as functionality in the kinetic capsules. </p><p>I also heard that this functionality is not on the roadmap anymore. Which I think is a pity for our PITA portals.</p><p>I can understand it if your game is to discourage large fields, but then just say that.</p><p>For the BAF fielders the fun is gone, and I think both factions enjoy organising BAF's.</p><p>Can you clarify wether or not this key duplication will ever come back? #askingforalotoffriends.</p><p><br /></p><p>Cheers,</p><p>Agent disturbinator</p>]]>

        <description><![CDATA[<p>I think this game will be very good if we adopt a THREE strike spoofing policy. So you can spoof down two portals for free, and then on the third get banned. Having spoof down only one portal before the ban is too harsh. Some days I think it is a little too risky to violate my house arrest so I need to spoof to the portal instead if there is a BAF. I hope NIANTIC will revisit this policy.</p>]]>

I gave the mean that if you are defeated you can go back and tried again with your “same” body but with more experience (like every time you lose on a videogame) that’s why I started to use my codename, but on ingress already exist one “Mandra” so just changed “a” for “4” and everything with capital letters</p>]]>

I was honored to have truly the most unique anomaly role ever in the history of Ingress by having the Hank Johnson NPC spend his day with me so he could strategically generate media artifacts from portals during the anomaly. Also, you can blame me for the infamous buses. #blamechibri</p><p>I know there has been much speculation and rumor about what the Resistance did to eke out a win in Chicago. #moneyball I'm happy to clarify what really happened.</p><p>I can't promise that I'll answer EVERY question, but feel free to <strong>ask me anything</strong>.</p>]]>

        <description><![CDATA[<p>I swear I remember this topic being discussed before in an AMA with Krug perhaps... but I can’t find anything in the terms of service or agent guidelines about it. So I’m looking for help finding official word on wether or not a blue agent actively involved in green chats, getting keys from green agents and coordinating operations with green agents violates the terms of service or any other official Niantic rules.</p><p>Personally, I think playing for the other team, if not against the written rules of the game, definitely goes against the spirit of fair play and competition. Blue links are mich more difficult for blue agents to destroy and vice versa. Using that fact to your advantage by having a player of the opposite faction coordinating with you gives you a huge advantage and should not be allowed.</p><p>That said, can anyone out there point me to official word on this subject?</p>]]>

        <description><![CDATA[<p>We have read the news that they are working on a subscription method for ingress, which would bring very good results in all aspects, if it is well implemented, since the expected result would be:</p><p><strong>1.- end spoofers once and for all.</strong></p><p>2.- expand the inventory and have better game options</p><p>3.- Improve the system of research and technical support.</p><p><strong>This means that Ingress would no longer be free. pay for login.</strong></p><p>You would have to pay for a subscription to be able to login to the system. and you will not be able to create parallel accounts, new account, new subscription, new payment. and if it is detected and that software was used to modify the GPS location, the account will be canceled, only with that type of strong rules, many problems would be avoided and Niantic would save the current problems with loyal players who leave the game for that cause.</p><p><br /></p><p>Those who really like the game are the ones we would pay to build our territory and defend it, legally and in a fun way, real players, not ghosts, or kamikases, or spoofers. I think it is a good decision of niantic, but if is  well implemented or better, but the game has to stop being free for everyone in order to end the cheating that has taken away their loyal players, and I include me with them, I I would gladly pay for that subscription and upgrade of the account, as long as Niantic guarantees us that we will play without spoofers, if not, there is no business. and here everything came, and I would not pay for the subscription, because it would be the same, we would have the same problem but with more upgrades for the spoofers and that is not business, that is my opinion, and count on me to continue improving the game, now It is your choice, or we save our dear ingress, or they end up damaging it for loyal players.</p>]]>

        <description><![CDATA[<p>Good evening, I wonder how to deal with stalking players of pokemon go? here is a mistake by Niantic, when you have to report a bug in the game "spoofers" Niantic recommends you report in their communication channels with twitter, which I did because of the proliferation of spoofers and false portals, this unfortunately came In view of a community of spoofers on Facebook, which has started to insult my Facebook wall and Twitter, I have had to change the privacy preferences of the 2 social networks, which directly affects my Audio consulting work for Virtual Reality / AR / MR, which is unacceptable, very serious Niantic's error, including Facebook's failure to withdraw their post, is something that directly affects trying to do the right thing in a game, I have even taken legal measures in against aggressive players who have already violated the integrity of some players and are currently continuing their harassing activities, I speak for those people who have no voice and q which continue with the tyranny of niantic's "error" and spoofers,</p><p>it's something that has to end.</p><p>What solutions does Niantic give us against the harassment we have players for following their "rules", you cannot measure that, we are not statistics, we are the ones who have built your player base and we hope to improve the future of games in general , but this is not an easy task, and it is not remunerated, you have a moral duty to fix this situation, especially John Hanke, you have a moral duty with your faithful Ingress players, who we contribute daily with TIME, SWEAT, TEARS AND MONEY In improving the game, things do not change with a Black Lives Matter beacon, the lives of Ingress players also count, Ingress Player Matters, John, please fix your game, its broken.</p>]]>

As you can see in my picture below they are relatively cheep in bulk. </p><p>As majority of reviewers also don’t know the data base to find out if the code on the mark is correct they are very easy to fake. </p><p>If these are actually eligible why don’t we allow every bus stop/taxi rank/ fire hydrant as well.

So I'll try posting it here.</p><p>The Pokemon community here keeps submitting the gravesite of a local Pokemon player who was apparently a big part of the Pokemon Go community in my area.</p><p>I've never heard of him, but I don't play Pokemon. </p><p>I know the criteria for a gravestone is only if it's a historic and significant figure and I'm inclined to keep denying it, but they keep submitting it and I'm starting to kinda wonder if I'm being overly strict on my interpretation of a person of historic significance.</p><p>Now that I write this all out, I think I'm totally right to keep denying it, especially since there was all that dust up in the early days of Pokemon about large groups of players invading cemeteries...</p>]]>

<p>Yet on the events page for Munich, off site participation is still listed as an option (as in recharge rooms). Understandably no off site was available for the Hexathon events, they are basically individual contests. But Requiem is an actual anomaly with the two sides battling each other. Will of site participation for what at this point appears to be the only actual anomly of 2020 be an option for those of who can't travel to Munich but would appreciate an opportunity to participate and earn the badge?</p>]]>

        <description><![CDATA[<p>Hi, if now a business with high historical and cultural tourist relevance is a valid candidate despite being a business, a temporary candidate with the same requirements should earn the same status, obviously depending on the type of temporariness</p><p><br /></p><p>es. a Christmas tree that is decorated every year and placed in the town square obviously disappears and remains invalid.</p><p>But a place that instead earns the title of "Santa's House", which continues a tradition that has lasted since 1982 (and has therefore been repeated every year for 37 years), which ends up on TV and internet newspapers, which has its own google maps (4,6 / 5 with 1200+ votes), with its own website, which is a strong point of the city, as well as a real meaning of hidden gem, which is decorated for a month but which however remains known and a point that you would let a friend know or visit, when active, it should also become valid, right?</p><p><br /></p><p>Following the niantic help site, the instant 1 * waste only goes for living things and photos of third parties, therefore for all other situations there is a bonus / malus scale to use and if it is positive to give the number of stars corresponding?</p><p><br /></p><p>In this case, although it has a "temporariness" (even if I saw it while it is not active, it would still be useful to mark it and pass it when the time is right, I heard that a portal is valid if accessible at least once a year .. is not such a thing?) is however a point of interest more than valid as a hidden gem, which shows the specialties of the city as well as being a place of importance recognized by the same municipality that is forced to change the traffic conditions for the influx of visitors also foreigners, and of historical importance that has been going on for 37 years.</p><p><br /></p><p>Tell me yours or how to ask Niantic herself this question, because according to the latest AMA this seems to me a situation similar to many others that are now considered valid, yet without an official go-ahead it may still be unrecognized.</p><p><br /></p><p>What most of all makes me want something like this is to see how low quality the portals are becoming in the surroundings ... swings, toys, and other really really irrelevant things ... while for stupid quibbles not yet explained I can't see something really worthy of attention .. is it a joke? POIs should be points of interest not the first thing that happens under fire ... help me understand if it is my wrong reasoning or if maybe niantic could give us a more in-depth answer about it</p>]]>

About four years ago, I took a risk and was blessed with an opportunity to turn my passion of Ingress into a career when Niantic hired me as employee number thirty-six after they spun out from Google. It is with mixed feelings that I have to inform you all that Monday, December 30th will be my last day at Niantic. This was not an easy decision. I searched my heart though and through. Ultimately, I felt it was the right decision for me and the next chapter of my life.&amp;nbsp;&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I am proud to have contributed in ways both seen and unseen across the company when I look back on the last four years. One of my main goals when I accepted the position was to conduct myself objectively and without bias towards either Faction. I wanted people to know that I was not Enlightened Agent RedSoloCup the Ingress Global Community Manager (GCM), I was Andrew Krug the Ingress GCM. In a short amount of time you embraced me in my new role and recognized the difference between Agent and person. That enabled me to make human connections and have shared experiences that I never thought possible.&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The community is the lifeblood of Ingress. Over the last seven years, this &amp;ldquo;game&amp;rdquo; has brought me an immense amount of joy. I established new friendships that have transcended the game. I have performed the wedding ceremony of two Ingress couples and have been invited to many more as a guest. However, it has brought me a pain as well. Sadly, several friends I made through Ingress have passed away over the years too. The two that hit me the hardest was Frank Maxwell from Ireland, aka Agent Reviresco and &lt;a href=\&quot;https:\/\/blog.goruck.com\/news\/rltw-cadre-roony-josh-rest-well-ranger\/\&quot; rel=\&quot;nofollow noopener ugc\&quot;&gt;Cadre Roony (Josh) from GORUCK&lt;\/a&gt;. I was honored to have interviewed &lt;a href=\&quot;https:\/\/youtu.be\/6TF69w1M2gc?t=1419\&quot; rel=\&quot;nofollow noopener ugc\&quot;&gt;Frank on Behind The Scanner back in 2014&lt;\/a&gt;. He was one of the truly good people who exuded positivity and was just fascinating to talk to as well. I was equally as honored to get to know Josh. We were born the same year, both had kids, both from the state of Wisconsin, and we both had a connection to the U.S. Army. He used to bring fresh cheese curds to events for me. It was a little slice of home that he shared. He also gave a lot of himself to his &lt;a href=\&quot;http:\/\/snowdropfoundation.org\/\&quot; rel=\&quot;nofollow noopener ugc\&quot;&gt;community&lt;\/a&gt;, family, and friends as well. &lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;As a community, we&amp;rsquo;ve pulled each other up and supported one another through illness, hard times, the loss of loved ones, and any number of natural disasters. As a community we&amp;rsquo;ve also celebrated the birth of Ingress children, cancer remissions, graduations, new jobs, weight loss, and many other positive things together. These are the things that make Ingress special in my opinion -- the human connection it reinforces. Thank you for allowing me to share in the joys and for allowing me to support you during the hard times when I could.&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Your admiration and support over the years has been humbling. Making my portrait out of cross-faction fields!?! I will forever be in awe of that. I&amp;rsquo;ll miss reading the hundreds of letters you sent to my P.O. box and collecting the thousands of bio cards we&amp;rsquo;ve traded at events. To the Agent that cosplayed as me during a Japan NL1331 tour, your fake beard was impressive but it scared me a little too. I have shared meals with players from Alaska, Dublin, Tokyo and a ton of cities in-between. I have traveled this world visiting over two dozen countries and probably 100 unique cities to interact and meet with you. You invited me into your homes to meet your families. You have showered me with affection that I can never repay. From the bottom of my heart, thank you! These memories will be everlasting and have enriched me in ways I didn&amp;rsquo;t think possible.&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I have interacted with so many diverse people and seen a side of humanity that few people ever will. I am blessed beyond words. I wish everyone on the planet could experience what I have. At a time when most of the news seems to be reduced to click bait or rhetoric designed to inflame the differences, we as human beings have; Ingress doesn&amp;rsquo;t care about any of that. Are you blue or green? That&amp;rsquo;s all that matters.&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I&amp;rsquo;ll leave you with this advice. Try to respect one another. When you communicate with other people, be accountable for the words you choose. Don&amp;rsquo;t be rhetorical terrorists. The choices you make every day can impact those around you in a positive or negative way and you have no idea what a person is going through on a daily basis.

<p>So we often get a lot of Wayfarer and Criteria Log updates and clarifications through the AMAs.  Now that RedSoloCup is stepping down, what does this mean for future AMAs?</p><p><br /></p><p>Will they be held by the next GCM?  Will the next one still be in January?  With no new AMAs since Wayfarer released for Pogo players globally, and the AMA being one for the very few avenues we could use to voice our concerns, it would be nice to know if there are any future plans for them.</p>]]>

        <description><![CDATA[<p>Niantic,</p><p>You have loads of dedicated Ingress Agents who review for you. We believe in the QUALITY and INTEGRITY of the POI database.</p><p>I live in London, but in an area where historically few agents live, and even fewer actively discovered new POI. Subs here don't reach consensus without upgrades (I currently have one on its third day in voting). My oldest sub is from April 17th. 5 of my 10 oldest subs are still in queue.</p><p>I currently have 75 subs in the system (41 in queue, 34 in voting) , but every single one of them will need an upgrade if it is to reach a final decision this side of New Years 2021.</p><p>I haven't changed how I am rating. And yet you have essentially killed the only way I am going to ever get these portals to full review in a reasonable time.</p><p>So many Agents in our Telegram chats are reviewing less or even quitting because there's no point reviewing when something else is out there gaming the system. You are getting fewer reviewers and an even bigger backlog. Releasing Wayfarer to Pokemon Go trainers hasn't made it better. It's made it worse.</p><p>Please fix this not just for submitters in city cells, but for every agent who has dedicated days of their life to improving your POI database.</p><div data-embedjson="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https:\/\/us.v-cdn.net\/6031689\/uploads\/277\/I46QCI4IDF0T.jpg&quot;,&quot;name&quot;:&quot;Screenshot_20191120-130506_Chrome.jpg&quot;,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image\/jpeg&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:149894,&quot;width&quot;:720,&quot;height&quot;:1280,&quot;displaySize&quot;:&quot;large&quot;,&quot;float&quot;:&quot;none&quot;,&quot;embedType&quot;:&quot;image&quot;}">

Other games have a free method for gaining in game currency, but yet Ingress still does not have this. If it were solely up to you, would you have this miniscule CM be attained by your current Sojourner streak? Would you back date it, for those of us that are over 1,670 days?</p><p>A: If it was solely up to me there would be a third red faction and giant monsters would pop out of random Portals that people had to defeat using Dark XM weapons that could only be obtained from Dark XM AR Scanner mode and be used in this mode to obtain L9+ items. I’d also grant CMU for being active daily and not Sojourner but give a bonus to it for recursed Agents. I’d also give Agent Grogyan a green Resistance Osiris Victory medal just for laughs and make it so he can only hack L5 XMPs  for random 24 hour periods. But that’s just me and things are not solely up to me.</p><p><br /></p><p>DarkXM monsters. </p><p>If only</p><p>Love the tongue-and-cheek, of a green Resistance-Osiris-Victory medal</p>]]>
