        <description><![CDATA[<p>"K" is someone who first appeared before the Kureze Effect anomaly series.</p><p>At first, many thought that "K" was a nickname of Dr. Victoria Kureze from Osiris Node.</p><p>However, agents started to notice that "K" when sending messages through the scanner News, used 2 different images.</p><p>One was a cookie, the other a Chihuahua.</p><p>That gave some the idea that maybe, "K" could be Victoria Kureze, but from a different node. Or even 2 different Kurezes.</p><p>But, at the end of the Kureze Effect series, a hidden message makes clear that K is not Victoria Kureze, but someone who apparently has memories from Dr. Victor Kureze "life ending" from node 1218, and was surprised when found out about Dr. Victoria Kureze form Node Osiris being a female and alive. And also indicates that has taken the decision of becoming part of The Enlightened (it's unsure if this was due a previous neutral alignment, or a Recursion process)</p><p>That totally rules out the possiblity that K is Victor, or Victoria Kureze, or even the Nemesis version of Kureze.</p><p>So, we still have the question: who is "K"?</p><p>After Kythera phase 1, a coded message was shared by that points to one name KLUE</p><p>Now some investigators believe we are talking about a known investigator from Node 1218: Klue</p><p>However, this Klue from 1218 has gone through a lot: faction changes, hosting ADA, and merging with ADAs Osiris host - Wendy.</p><p>We are unsure of what happened to the 1218 Klue after the tessellation ended... Some say "K" is her acting from within some ethereal form inside the XM.</p><p>Others have the theory that K may be Klue, but a new Klue from Osiris node, that through the Kureze Effect has gained access to some of the memories of the 1218 Klue</p><p>Others theorize that K is 1218 Klue inside Osiris Wendy...</p><p>Ant yet other believe that K is not any version Klue, and point to other subjects of interest like Kodomasmiles, Andrew Krug, etc.</p><p>BUT, WHY DO WE WANT TO KNOW ABOUT WHO IS K?</p><p>Now that Kythera Anomaly has begun, the fate of the Kythera Mechanism is in Ks hands.</p><p>K is asking for both factions to help her get the mechanism, or complete it, for using it or destroying depending on the final result of wich faction wins the anomaly.</p><p>Why we should help someone we don't know to use/destroy something we don't know what is for?</p><p>Share with us, who do you think is K?</p>]]>

<p><strong>Kythera Lore Primer</strong></p><p><em>2022-05-16</em></p><p><strong>Efecto Kureze</strong></p><p>Hay cientos de recuentos de personas en linea con recuerdos detallados de cobertura periodística de el líder Sub Africano del Anti-Apartheid Nelson Mandela muriendo en prisión en los años 1980s. En realidad, Mandela falleció el 5 de diciembre de 2013 en su casa en Houghton, Johannesburgo, rodeado de su familia. En 2009, la autora Fiona Broome apodó al fenomeno como Efecto Mandela, y especuló que la anomalía podría haber sido causada por realidades alternas. Broome compartio, "podria ser evidencia de la mecánica cuántica en la vida diaria".</p><p>En el Q1 2022, hicimos nuestro primer contacto con un investigador multiversal K. Se sabe muy poco acerca de sus orígenes, pero parece creer que estos recuerdos alternos son marcadores o puntos de un camino que nos dice que realidad estamos visitando en ese momento:</p><p><em>"Lo llame el Efecto Kureze porque recuerdo haber leido reportes de la muerte del Dr. Victor Kureze despues del cierre del Proyecto Niantic en Abril de 2013, mientras que muchos de ustedes parecen recordar las cosas de manera muy diferente. No mentire, la Dra. Victoria Kureze me causó mucha confusión. Y mientras mas unía esos cabos sueltos, mas falsas memorias encontraba: gelatina Jell-O, no Gell-O. Osos Berestain, no Osos Berenstein. Lo siguiente que me dirán es que Darth Vader nunca dijo la frase "Luke, yo soy tu padre"."</em></p><p>Con la victoria de los Iluminados en la Serie de Anomalías Efecto Kureze, K al final decidió unirse a los Iluminados, pero urgió a los agentes de ambas Facciones a ayudar a investigar el Mecanismo Kythera.</p><p><strong>Kythera</strong></p><p>El Mecanismo Antikythera es una antigua computadora que "simplemente no debería existir". Los expertos creen que se usaba para predecir el futuro de las posiciones astronómicas con anticipación de décadas. También creen que no puede ser la única computadora de su tipo en ser diseñada y construida por los científicos griegos.</p><p>Se encontraron Fragmentos o esquirlas (shards) del Mecanismo Antikythera junto al los restos recuperados del naufragio en las costas de la isla griega Antikythera en 1901. 121 años después, K le ha pedido a los agentes que capturen las Shards del inaudito y hasta ahora desconocido Mecanismo Kythera en las Fases 2 y 3 de la Serie de Anomalías Kythera.</p><p>El Mecanismo Antikythera fue alguna vez usado para predecir el futuro; tal vez el Mecanismo Kythera puede ser usado para redescubrir el pasado. El Efecto Kureze sugiere la existencia de realidades alternas, y lo que es verdad en realidad depende de en qué realidad estes sintonizado. En el Q2 2022, si los Iluminados controla la Serie de Anomalías Kythera, K usará el Mecanismo Kythera para investigar estas realidad alternas. Si la Resistencia gana, K lo destruirá para proteger esta realidad.</p><p>Como siempre, K parece disfrutar los acertijos, y compartió el siguiente en la Fase 1 de Kythera:</p><p><em>"Quien soy?</em></p><p><em>Invested. Audit. Crop</em></p><p><em>1 en un qubit, 2 en un sistema quantum, pero 0 en Kythera</em></p><p><em>Hablo sin una boca."</em></p><p>K. what3words para Plaza Mayor de Lima. La letra U. Un Echo. Usando el alfabeto fonético de la OTAN para Lima y Echo, K parece indicar a los agentes sobre la investigadora y truthseeker del Proyecto Niantic Klue.</p><p>Finalmente, que rara coincidencia el ver esto al final del website Visit Kythera:</p><p><a href="https://community.ingress.com/en/home/leaving?allowTrusted=1&amp;target=https%3A%2F%2Fvisitkythera.com%2F" rel="nofollow noopener ugc">https://visitkythera.com/</a></p><p><em>"Bienvenidos a Kythera, el idílico lugar de nacimiento de Afrodita. Kythira es la isla que nubla la frontera entre el mito y la realidad. La visión romántica representada en la pintura de Antoine Watteau, The Embarkation for Cythera ("L Embraquement pour Cythere"), es una representación viviente de la experiencia Kythira mientras alcanza los profundos significados de la vida que estan incorporados en tres palabras: Amor, Naturaleza, Libertad."</em></p><p>Eso casi suena como Glyphs de los Shaper. Mejora tu juego con emociones renovadas. Sal y pásatela en grande.</p><ul><li>Brian Rose (@GP2C)</li></ul>]]>

        <description><![CDATA[<p>This is what I have found so far....</p><p><strong>What is Kythera?</strong></p><p>Kythera is a greek island on the mediterranean sea that on ancient times was a crossroad for trading, sailors, and conquering armies. </p><p><a href="https://community.ingress.com/en/home/leaving?allowTrusted=1&amp;target=https%3A%2F%2Fen.wikipedia.org%2Fwiki%2FKythira" rel="nofollow noopener ugc">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kythira</a></p><p>On mythology, Kythera is the birthplace of Aphrodite, goddess of Love.</p><p><strong>What is the Kythera Mechanism?</strong></p><p>There is no information about a device with such name, but there is a lot of information about an "Anti-Kythera Mechanism". AntiKythera is another island. The mechanism takes the name since it was found at the bottom of the sea on a shipwreck near AntiKythera island.</p><p><a href="https://community.ingress.com/en/home/leaving?allowTrusted=1&amp;target=https%3A%2F%2Fen.wikipedia.org%2Fwiki%2FAntikythera_mechanism" rel="nofollow noopener ugc">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antikythera_mechanism</a></p><p>K on his SIGINT describes Antikythera mechanism as "ancient computer that shouldn´t exist" and Kythera as a "sister mechanism"</p><p>Googling that phrase returns the following.</p><p>"The Antikythera mechanism</p><p>The <strong>Antikythera mechanism</strong> (/ˌæntɪkɪˈθɪərə/ AN-tih-kih-THEER-ə) is an ancient Greek hand-powered orrery, described as the oldest example of an analogue computer used to predict astronomical positions and eclipses decades in advance."</p><p><a href="https://community.ingress.com/en/home/leaving?allowTrusted=1&amp;target=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DqqlJ50zDgeA" rel="nofollow noopener ugc">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qqlJ50zDgeA</a></p><p>K also talks about "fragments or pieces" for Kythera Mechanism.

A Resistance victory will convince them to destroy it."</p><p>As a result of Phase 1 Kythera Anomaly, we got another encripted message from K. The answer makes reference to a character that may be familiar to the agents: KLUE, but it is uncertain if K is Klue, if we are talking about 1218 Klue, or if this is Osiris version of Klue.</p><p>Its also not clear what does Klue has to do with Dr. Kureze and Kythera.</p><p><a href="https://community.ingress.com/en/discussion/18935/kythera-phase-1-final-report" rel="nofollow noopener ugc">https://community.ingress.com/en/discussion/18935/kythera-phase-1-final-report</a></p><p>We are about to enter Phase 2 of Kythera Anomaly and there is a lot of speculation going on about this... but we need to get more reliable information to solve this mysteries.</p><p>Feel free to share your ideas, theories, and findings!</p><p><a data-username="Truthseeker" data-userid="20933" rel="nofollow" href="https://community.ingress.com/en/profile/Truthseeker">@Truthseeker</a> we miss you...</p>]]>

There will be two 10-minute breaks within the 3-hour period.</p><p>Phase 2 (February)</p><p>Rare Battle Beacons will appear starting at 14:20 local time for battle to begin at 14:30. There will be two breaks within the 3-hour period.</p><p><br /></p><p><strong>How do you pronounce "Kureze"?</strong></p><p>“<em>cure-ease</em>”</p><p>Victoria pronounces it here (0:04): <a href="https://community.ingress.com/en/home/leaving?allowTrusted=1&amp;target=https%3A%2F%2Fyoutu.be%2FEniW7Ps5LyQ%3Ft%3D4" rel="nofollow noopener ugc">https://youtu.be/EniW7Ps5LyQ?t=4</a></p><p>ADA pronounces it here (0:07): <a href="https://community.ingress.com/en/home/leaving?allowTrusted=1&amp;target=https%3A%2F%2Fyoutu.be%2FfFAMAThEGd0%3Ft%3D7" rel="nofollow noopener ugc">https://youtu.be/fFAMAThEGd0?t=7</a></p><p><br /></p><p><strong>How were the Phase 2 Portals selected?</strong></p><p>The Phase 2 Portal selection was completely data-driven - certain criteria went in, Portals meeting that criteria came out. We recognize that some Portals may be in areas that are not currently accessible or require payment to gain access to them because the tool cannot take such criteria into account. If locals Agents reach a cross-faction consensus on the forum, we are happy to REMOVE such Portals from play but new Portals will not be added to replace them.</p><p><br /></p><p><strong>In Phase 2, why is the weight of NIA-deployed RBBs 5 versus 10 as it was in Phase 1?</strong></p><p>The NIA will be deploying roughly twice as many RBBs in February compared to January. In order to keep the same overall point distribution, the weight needed to be adjusted.</p><p><br /></p><p><strong>Why was the city list for NIA-deployed Beacons for Phase 1 sequestered so long?</strong></p><p>The Ingress team loves live events and we've been experimenting with live ops/global challenges for the last year. With the release of the Rare Battle Beacon, we want to find a way to encourage Agents to play Ingress outside, at Portals, but to do it in a way that they can be physically distanced, and play when and where they feel comfortable doing so. </p><p>The Kureze Effect is the idea of a quarterly season, structured the same way as Anomaly Seasons in the past, and builds on the experience we had with Primary Sites, and Satellite Sites plus Connected Cells to activate players from anywhere.</p><p>By sequestering the city list, we hope to discourage long distance travel and instead encourage participation locally. Any Agent can deploy a Battle Beacon from anywhere during the Event Window and also participate. The NIA-deployed Battle Beacons are affected Portals that are a higher point value target, but this does not prevent Agents in other locations from also participating.</p><p><br /></p><p><strong>Which Battle Beacons count?</strong></p><p>Rare and Very Rare Battle Beacons count.</p><p>They look like this (below):</p><div data-embedjson="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https:\/\/us.v-cdn.net\/6031689\/uploads\/CX26OKRTCIHJ\/battle-beacons-inv.jpg&quot;,&quot;name&quot;:&quot;battle_beacons_inv.jpg&quot;,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image\/jpeg&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:35361,&quot;width&quot;:712,&quot;height&quot;:581,&quot;displaySize&quot;:&quot;medium&quot;,&quot;float&quot;:&quot;none&quot;,&quot;embedType&quot;:&quot;image&quot;}">

        <description><![CDATA[<p>Loved the widely distributed nature of Kureze phase 2 - lots of agents who wouldn’t otherwise have participated got to play. </p><p>I’d like to see a change to the scoring system for beacon events going forward. Using a score multiplier based on the beacon category level provides a <strong>massive disincentive</strong> to contest a portal if your team expects to be significantly outnumbered. Doing so will only increase the points going to the winning team. Having to tell your team that the best strategic play is to stop fighting isn’t fun for either side.</p><p>The advantage in an event like this will always go to the team with more agents present, and that advantage can still be reflected in the score via winning 9-0 or 7-2 instead of 6-3 or 5-4. This is enough without amplifying the imbalance with a category multiplier. </p><p>Scoring mechanics should be neutral toward imbalances in team numbers, or if any advantage is given at all, give the outnumbered side a minor boost or route back into the contest. Category multipliers further piled on the disadvantages for the underdog in phases 1 and 2.</p>]]>

        <description><![CDATA[<p>1. Please Enable unlimited or much larger burnout insulation for the NIA beacon deploying portals..</p><p>2. Inventory got completely drained and none of the portal were available to hack as everything got burned out even after putting VR multi hack. So , can the inventory be increased to a small amount 100 or 200 during the 3 hour window.?</p><p>3. Will it be possible to deploy VR Battle beacons from NIA? If opposite teams donot come and the exisiting portal is already level 6/7/8 it's impossible to get interaction.</p>]]>

We had no standard rules, this was all new to everyone involved as everyone but myself had no experience with battle beacons. I explained it simply  as keep the portals with Beacons on them under your control. People did not need to be there the entire time, they could participate without interacting socially if they wanted, i made sure we were as flexible as possible to everyones comfort levels. This was our first in person, outside event, since the pandemic hit. I simply wanted our local area to have a chance to participate and get their badge. &lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The event starts and I got to meet two old time Agents i have never met before. The Enl lead shows up and we start actually discussing the beacons as we are fighting over portals. I get to explain the differences between beacons as more Agents join in on the fun. Every Agent that shows up, im giving them a rare load out card and some other goodies to make the event a bit more memorable. I&amp;#039;m deploying on clusters of portals, letting 10 beacons go at a time trying to make the battles a bit more spread out and fun. Sneaking off to the distance at times to add a portal that isnt close to the mix. As the numbers grow to 8 agents, 4 from each side, everyone starts getting stragetical. It is no longer just claim and destroy, it&amp;#039;s wait until the last couple seconds and flip the portal to get the points. &lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Both sides are enjoying each others company. A couple sneak off to get the portal thats down the block with a beacon on it, determined to score on it. Experienced Anomaly goers start talking to others about how to hold a portal, how to hold off on attacking until the timer starts going down. When a portal can&amp;#039;t be flipped, move to the center with ultrastrikes, some one wait til the shields go down to attack, another person focus on claiming the moment the resos come off. This is all happening with laughs and conversations asking how each other is doing because it has been so long since we&amp;#039;ve seen each other together. &lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This is fun! This is the most sober ive been at an anomaly! We all share the laughs in the jokes and memories of events of the past. Soon many have their Badge but we are just continuing to play. I&amp;#039;ve learned how to stagger the beacons out to draw out the play time. We have all agreed we like the Very rares better because the moment they flip the portal, it becomes a fast paced change in chaos going from being the attackers to the defenders. Frustrating errors in the game, like lags and being unable to deploy, become part of the stragety. The group evolves around them to score what they can. Toast is being a very good distracter to the smallest of us. &lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Are you playing pokemon go? Nope Ingress! An Agent works their magic to try and recruit while we are battling. It has suddenly been 2 hours already, no one has left. We are all having so much fun but all running out of gear. The group decides to take a break, get more gear and i wait to deploy beacons again. The question is asked can we just deploy one Battle beacon and all Fight over just one for the next round. The cluster of Beacons is distracting and they want to see what happens when we focus on just one beacon at at time. Everyone agrees. We have spent the last two hours reminding ourselves how to play in an anomaly setting and they want to test it. Everyone gets the time to hack and restock until they all agree they are ready. The battle begins. &lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This is the most silent but most exciting battle. Everyone is concentrating, cept for the random call out for a shield or attack. People are stationed at the center of the portal while others are at a distance. Axa after Axa is used, bursters are constantly being fired, power cubes have a huge use. This portal cant be flipped by an Agent so every checkpoint is a rush in changing play. YES! we got it! Good job! They are hitting hard! Hold It! The excitement is clear. The final point is score and everyone says good game. A couple more beacons are set off after but these arnt fought over as much as everyone seems have gotten their fill. &lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;No one cares to bring up who won how many, everyones just laughing and talking about the fun that was had. No one has anymore gear to deploy or destroy. Everyone loves that they&amp;#039;ve used gear that they haven&amp;#039;t in years. Everyone wants to do this again sometime. This is missed, this community gathering.. Three hours of battling have passed and we are all so happy to have had it. This event brought the community together again, though we werent really apart. We were just in our own worlds that collided nicely this day. &lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Everyone left with more than the minimum interactions for the Badge because for us, it wasnt just about the badge even if that is what drew our gathering together.

We had no standard rules, this was all new to everyone involved as everyone but myself had no experience with battle beacons. I explained it simply  as keep the portals with Beacons on them under your control. People did not need to be there the entire time, they could participate without interacting socially if they wanted, i made sure we were as flexible as possible to everyones comfort levels. This was our first in person, outside event, since the pandemic hit. I simply wanted our local area to have a chance to participate and get their badge. \\nThe event starts and I got to meet two old time Agents i have never met before. The Enl lead shows up and we start actually discussing the beacons as we are fighting over portals. I get to explain the differences between beacons as more Agents join in on the fun. Every Agent that shows up, im giving them a rare load out card and some other goodies to make the event a bit more memorable. I'm deploying on clusters of portals, letting 10 beacons go at a time trying to make the battles a bit more spread out and fun. Sneaking off to the distance at times to add a portal that isnt close to the mix. As the numbers grow to 8 agents, 4 from each side, everyone starts getting stragetical. It is no longer just claim and destroy, it's wait until the last couple seconds and flip the portal to get the points. \\nBoth sides are enjoying each others company. A couple sneak off to get the portal thats down the block with a beacon on it, determined to score on it. Experienced Anomaly goers start talking to others about how to hold a portal, how to hold off on attacking until the timer starts going down. When a portal can't be flipped, move to the center with ultrastrikes, some one wait til the shields go down to attack, another person focus on claiming the moment the resos come off. This is all happening with laughs and conversations asking how each other is doing because it has been so long since we've seen each other together. \\nThis is fun! This is the most sober ive been at an anomaly! We all share the laughs in the jokes and memories of events of the past. Soon many have their Badge but we are just continuing to play. I've learned how to stagger the beacons out to draw out the play time. We have all agreed we like the Very rares better because the moment they flip the portal, it becomes a fast paced change in chaos going from being the attackers to the defenders. Frustrating errors in the game, like lags and being unable to deploy, become part of the stragety. The group evolves around them to score what they can. Toast is being a very good distracter to the smallest of us. \\nAre you playing pokemon go? Nope Ingress! An Agent works their magic to try and recruit while we are battling. It has suddenly been 2 hours already, no one has left. We are all having so much fun but all running out of gear. The group decides to take a break, get more gear and i wait to deploy beacons again. The question is asked can we just deploy one Battle beacon and all Fight over just one for the next round. The cluster of Beacons is distracting and they want to see what happens when we focus on just one beacon at at time. Everyone agrees. We have spent the last two hours reminding ourselves how to play in an anomaly setting and they want to test it. Everyone gets the time to hack and restock until they all agree they are ready. The battle begins. \\nThis is the most silent but most exciting battle. Everyone is concentrating, cept for the random call out for a shield or attack. People are stationed at the center of the portal while others are at a distance. Axa after Axa is used, bursters are constantly being fired, power cubes have a huge use. This portal cant be flipped by an Agent so every checkpoint is a rush in changing play. YES! we got it! Good job! They are hitting hard! Hold It! The excitement is clear. The final point is score and everyone says good game. A couple more beacons are set off after but these arnt fought over as much as everyone seems have gotten their fill. \\nNo one cares to bring up who won how many, everyones just laughing and talking about the fun that was had. No one has anymore gear to deploy or destroy. Everyone loves that they've used gear that they haven't in years. Everyone wants to do this again sometime. This is missed, this community gathering.. Three hours of battling have passed and we are all so happy to have had it. This event brought the community together again, though we werent really apart. We were just in our own worlds that collided nicely this day. \\nEveryone left with more than the minimum interactions for the Badge because for us, it wasnt just about the badge even if that is what drew our gathering together. I am incredibly thankful for the community i have here and the chance to be able to have brought it together for this day. Until the Next time!\\n\\nAgents\\nAtgben\\nDoubleAgentPhil\\nAtech8700\\n707BellyDancer\\nRabidLemurs\\nRabidRhinos\\nBob1667\\nHumboldtNemesis\\nIshira\\n\\n\&quot;},{\&quot;insert\&quot;:\&quot;https:\\\/\\\/us.v-cdn.net\\\/6031689\\\/uploads\\\/YD7L6XXPLAUC\\\/screenshot-20220220-151830-ingress.jpg\&quot;,\&quot;attributes\&quot;:{\&quot;link\&quot;:\&quot;https:\\\/\\\/us.v-cdn.net\\\/6031689\\\/uploads\\\/YD7L6XXPLAUC\\\/screenshot-20220220-151830-ingress.jpg\&quot;}},{\&quot;insert\&quot;:\&quot;\\n\&quot;},{\&quot;insert\&quot;:\&quot;https:\\\/\\\/us.v-cdn.net\\\/6031689\\\/uploads\\\/H4PVE8R06P14\\\/screenshot-20220220-143902-ingress.jpg\&quot;,\&quot;attributes\&quot;:{\&quot;link\&quot;:\&quot;https:\\\/\\\/us.v-cdn.net\\\/6031689\\\/uploads\\\/H4PVE8R06P14\\\/screenshot-20220220-143902-ingress.jpg\&quot;}},{\&quot;insert\&quot;:\&quot;\\n\&quot;},{\&quot;insert\&quot;:\&quot;https:\\\/\\\/us.v-cdn.net\\\/6031689\\\/uploads\\\/LGXKCOFZN32O\\\/screenshot-20220220-143833-ingress.jpg\&quot;,\&quot;attributes\&quot;:{\&quot;link\&quot;:\&quot;https:\\\/\\\/us.v-cdn.net\\\/6031689\\\/uploads\\\/LGXKCOFZN32O\\\/screenshot-20220220-143833-ingress.jpg\&quot;}},{\&quot;insert\&quot;:\&quot;\\n\&quot;},{\&quot;insert\&quot;:\&quot;https:\\\/\\\/us.v-cdn.net\\\/6031689\\\/uploads\\\/AS0WB1V1UEYO\\\/screenshot-20220220-143813-ingress.jpg\&quot;,\&quot;attributes\&quot;:{\&quot;link\&quot;:\&quot;https:\\\/\\\/us.v-cdn.net\\\/6031689\\\/uploads\\\/AS0WB1V1UEYO\\\/screenshot-20220220-143813-ingress.jpg\&quot;}},{\&quot;insert\&quot;:\&quot;\\n\&quot;},{\&quot;insert\&quot;:\&quot;https:\\\/\\\/us.v-cdn.net\\\/6031689\\\/uploads\\\/5QI1A6G9XJ9I\\\/screenshot-20220220-143732-ingress.jpg\&quot;,\&quot;attributes\&quot;:{\&quot;link\&quot;:\&quot;https:\\\/\\\/us.v-cdn.net\\\/6031689\\\/uploads\\\/5QI1A6G9XJ9I\\\/screenshot-20220220-143732-ingress.jpg\&quot;}},{\&quot;insert\&quot;:\&quot;\\n\&quot;},{\&quot;insert\&quot;:\&quot;https:\\\/\\\/us.v-cdn.net\\\/6031689\\\/uploads\\\/JHE0L3E26YSX\\\/screenshot-20220220-143718-ingress.jpg\&quot;,\&quot;attributes\&quot;:{\&quot;link\&quot;:\&quot;https:\\\/\\\/us.v-cdn.net\\\/6031689\\\/uploads\\\/JHE0L3E26YSX\\\/screenshot-20220220-143718-ingress.jpg\&quot;}},{\&quot;insert\&quot;:\&quot;\\n\&quot;},{\&quot;insert\&quot;:{\&quot;embed-external\&quot;:{\&quot;data\&quot;:{\&quot;url\&quot;:\&quot;https:\\\/\\\/us.v-cdn.net\\\/6031689\\\/uploads\\\/1FHOKBQO2CZO\\\/screenshot-20220220-143702-ingress.jpg\&quot;,\&quot;name\&quot;:\&quot;Screenshot_20220220-143702_Ingress.jpg\&quot;,\&quot;type\&quot;:\&quot;image\\\/jpeg\&quot;,\&quot;size\&quot;:601419,\&quot;width\&quot;:315,\&quot;height\&quot;:700,\&quot;displaySize\&quot;:\&quot;medium\&quot;,\&quot;float\&quot;:\&quot;none\&quot;,\&quot;embedType\&quot;:\&quot;image\&quot;},\&quot;loaderData\&quot;:{\&quot;type\&quot;:\&quot;image\&quot;}}}},{\&quot;insert\&quot;:{\&quot;embed-external\&quot;:{\&quot;data\&quot;:{\&quot;url\&quot;:\&quot;https:\\\/\\\/us.v-cdn.net\\\/6031689\\\/uploads\\\/LZGXOIHSED5A\\\/screenshot-20220221-083521-ingress.jpg\&quot;,\&quot;name\&quot;:\&quot;Screenshot_20220221-083521_Ingress.jpg\&quot;,\&quot;type\&quot;:\&quot;image\\\/jpeg\&quot;,\&quot;size\&quot;:666464,\&quot;width\&quot;:315,\&quot;height\&quot;:700,\&quot;displaySize\&quot;:\&quot;medium\&quot;,\&quot;float\&quot;:\&quot;none\&quot;,\&quot;embedType\&quot;:\&quot;image\&quot;},\&quot;loaderData\&quot;:{\&quot;type\&quot;:\&quot;image\&quot;}}}},{\&quot;insert\&quot;:{\&quot;embed-external\&quot;:{\&quot;data\&quot;:{\&quot;url\&quot;:\&quot;https:\\\/\\\/us.v-cdn.net\\\/6031689\\\/uploads\\\/OSL3ZO6BUZKL\\\/screenshot-20220220-143650-ingress.jpg\&quot;,\&quot;name\&quot;:\&quot;Screenshot_20220220-143650_Ingress.jpg\&quot;,\&quot;type\&quot;:\&quot;image\\\/jpeg\&quot;,\&quot;size\&quot;:942835,\&quot;width\&quot;:315,\&quot;height\&quot;:700,\&quot;displaySize\&quot;:\&quot;medium\&quot;,\&quot;float\&quot;:\&quot;none\&quot;,\&quot;embedType\&quot;:\&quot;image\&quot;},\&quot;loaderData\&quot;:{\&quot;type\&quot;:\&quot;image\&quot;}}}},{\&quot;insert\&quot;:{\&quot;embed-external\&quot;:{\&quot;data\&quot;:{\&quot;url\&quot;:\&quot;https:\\\/\\\/us.v-cdn.net\\\/6031689\\\/uploads\\\/CTMYWWKNX6OM\\\/screenshot-20220220-134003-ingress.jpg\&quot;,\&quot;name\&quot;:\&quot;Screenshot_20220220-134003_Ingress.jpg\&quot;,\&quot;type\&quot;:\&quot;image\\\/jpeg\&quot;,\&quot;size\&quot;:1449545,\&quot;width\&quot;:315,\&quot;height\&quot;:700,\&quot;displaySize\&quot;:\&quot;medium\&quot;,\&quot;float\&quot;:\&quot;none\&quot;,\&quot;embedType\&quot;:\&quot;image\&quot;},\&quot;loaderData\&quot;:{\&quot;type\&quot;:\&quot;image\&quot;}}}},{\&quot;insert\&quot;:{\&quot;embed-external\&quot;:{\&quot;data\&quot;:{\&quot;url\&quot;:\&quot;https:\\\/\\\/us.v-cdn.net\\\/6031689\\\/uploads\\\/1X24HQZBP29P\\\/screenshot-20220220-122656-ingress.jpg\&quot;,\&quot;name\&quot;:\&quot;Screenshot_20220220-122656_Ingress.jpg\&quot;,\&quot;type\&quot;:\&quot;

<p>We had 3 different ornamented locations for Mexico City:</p><p>1- La Condesa were phase 1 battle was held and corresponded to cell AM05-GOLF-08</p><p>2- Camino Real a Toluca that corresponded to cell AM05-GOLF-09</p><p>3- Periférico Oriente for cell AM05-GOLF-06</p><p>Good thing that ornaments from cell AM05-GOLF-07 were not at Mexico City and showed up at Toluca.</p><p>I had chosen option 3, knowing it was not an area were Resistance had a lot of presence, but neither did the Enlightened. Resistance couldn't afford to loose points in case enlightened showed up, so the mission was clear. Get the best result possible under unknown conditions.</p><p>During the travel, I started contacting the agents with more possibilities to show up. Bad news, one agent had to get vaccinated. Good news, Agent <a data-username="batu1199" data-userid="50143" rel="nofollow" href="https://community.ingress.com/en/profile/batu1199">@batu1199</a>  was already there.</p><p><a data-username="batu1199" data-userid="50143" rel="nofollow" href="https://community.ingress.com/en/profile/batu1199">@batu1199</a> was of great help, he knew that area well and how to avoid the people and the merchants of the "Tianguis" market that usually occupies the sidewalks of the selected area. </p><p>More good news, agent <a data-username="CedricBixler" data-userid="34750" rel="nofollow" href="https://community.ingress.com/en/profile/CedricBixler">@CedricBixler</a> was going to be late, but he was going to show up.</p><p>More bad news, the rest of the agents didn't answer my messages...</p><p>I opened the communication channel with our Intel team. Apparently there were some technical issues, but they were going to be available in case of need.</p><p>My original plan was to be there one hour before the beacons started showing up, so we could plan and maybe farm more battle items, but I was late after making an unexpected visit to the Veterinary.</p><p>I made it  to the rally point on time and teamed up with <a data-username="batu1199" data-userid="50143" rel="nofollow" href="https://community.ingress.com/en/profile/batu1199">@batu1199</a>.

<p><br /></p><p>Intel didn't report ENL presence yet so we started to do our thing. Not knowing if the enemy was there or not, ornamented portals started mostly Blue with a couple Greens.</p><p>Since we saw no ENL activity we decided to go an capture 3 beaconed portals. Batu had a bike so in order to get there on time I started running... It was not a good idea to light that cigarette when I arrived.</p><p>We did the same for the second batch of beacons. Still no sign of the ENL.</p><p>Then Someone sent a message that there was ENL at our location, but I just couldn't find them and comms with Intel were not working so I was asking but getting just silence as a response.</p><p>We kept doing our thing when suddenly the furthest ornaments got beaconed.... </p><p>I told Batu to go for one while I got the other, these were the ones that started as green. I didn't make it on time to round 1 of the battle, so ENL got the 2 points, 10 because of  the X5 multiplier.</p><p><a data-username="CedricBixler" data-userid="34750" rel="nofollow" href="https://community.ingress.com/en/profile/CedricBixler">@CedricBixler</a> messaged us that he was near.</p><p>After realizing that there were still green portals, I decided to run no more risks and turn everything Blue. ENL activity was not found yet.</p><p>Then I finally restored Intel comms and we realized there was an ENL agent in the area. <a data-username="errezam" data-userid="7325" rel="nofollow" href="https://community.ingress.com/en/profile/errezam">@errezam</a> was at the nearby mall, probably 100m away of an ornamented portal, and making portal captures but not the ones with beacons.</p><p>Another portal not involved in battle went green by ENK agent <a data-username="Tryu17" data-userid="45553" rel="nofollow" href="https://community.ingress.com/en/profile/Tryu17">@Tryu17</a> at 15:53</p><p>Batu standed guard while I got to the rally point to meet CedricBixler. And then finally we all grouped at the entrance of the mall.</p><p>It looked like nether <a data-username="Tryu17" data-userid="45553" rel="nofollow" href="https://community.ingress.com/en/profile/Tryu17">@Tryu17</a> nor <a data-username="errezam" data-userid="7325" rel="nofollow" href="https://community.ingress.com/en/profile/errezam">@errezam</a> were willing to fight, so we started relaxing.</p><p>Batu couldn't stay for the end of the battle, Cedric and I went to buy some drinks and also decided to throw additional VRBB to have something to entertain with while babysitting the area.</p><p>We also started to see what was going on at la Condesa and decided to help with #RemoteRecharge we didn't have all keys required, but found 4 usable for the task. </p><div data-embedjson="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https:\/\/us.v-cdn.net\/6031689\/uploads\/L2IB6E2OCJV6\/img-20220223-114928-255.jpg&quot;,&quot;name&quot;:&quot;IMG_20220223_114928_255.jpg&quot;,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image\/jpeg&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:199594,&quot;width&quot;:933,&quot;height&quot;:700,&quot;displaySize&quot;:&quot;large&quot;,&quot;float&quot;:&quot;none&quot;,&quot;embedType&quot;:&quot;image&quot;}">

<p><em>Consider a single pixel on your TV. On one channel, it’s the emerald green tie of Philadelphia’s unapologetic D.A. On another channel, it’s the mic held by a beloved singer performing a song from an unreleased studio album. On yet another channel, it’s the cobalt logo of a pharmaceutical company advertising new antibodies.</em></p><p><em>Every program and every channel is aired simultaneously, but you can only watch one channel at a time. Likewise, our reality is the reality channel that we’ve tuned into. That single pixel is still on every channel at the same time, but you cannot change the channel.</em></p><p><em>Some people, it seems, can.</em></p><p><em>Some people recall events that never happened. Some people remember events differently than they actually occurred. And some people, most notably Victoria Kureze, believe that this is evidence of many worlds, and what these people have experienced was simply the equivalent of tuning into a different channel.</em></p><p><br /></p><p>From January through March, Agents will investigate the Kureze Effect and help explore how events are understood, affected, and perhaps even manipulated. A Resistance victory will influence Dr. Kureze’s research towards defending our reality from Shaper ingression. An Enlightened victory will seek to embrace and accelerate it.</p><ul><li>The Kureze Effect will contain 3 Phases; expected to take place each month in January, February, and March.</li><li>Several dozen cities will be deeply affected by Phase 1 of the Kureze Effect, taking place on <strong>Sunday, 23 January 2022</strong>. Researchers are working to uncover all affected locations. The process of distilling the signal of city information from XM noise is expected to complete one week before the event date.</li><li>Over a three-hour period in each city (<strong>1430 to 1730 local time</strong>), certain Portals will become extremely unstable due to the Kureze Effect. The XM Researchers may identify some of these Portals and ornament some of them in the Scanner during the 24-hour period ahead.</li><li>NIASection14 will deploy Rare Battle Beacons on these said Portals whenever the degree of the Kureze Effect on them exceeds a detectable threshold, during the said three-hour period. Agents will work to seize control of these Portals while the NIA-deployed Battle Beacons are active. It is possible for a given Kureze Effect Portal to go beyond the threshold more than once within the said period.</li><li>XM Sensitive Agents may subconsciously identify Portals under the influence of the Kureze Effect and take action to deploy any Battle Beacon on those Portals between <strong>Saturday, 22 January 2022 1100 UTC and Monday, 24 January 2022 1100 UTC</strong>. It is important to control those Portals while these Battle Beacons are active as well.</li></ul><p><br /></p><p><strong>Scoring</strong></p><p>The final score for each Faction will be the weighted total of all Rare or Very Rare Battle Beacons Point Values over all Checkpoints deployed between <strong>Saturday, 22 January 2022 1100 UTC and Monday, 24 January 2022 1100 UTC</strong> across the globe. Each Battle Beacon will be weighted based on the Battle Category, which is based on number of Agents and Agent activity. From CAT-I to CAT-VI, the weighted values are 1-2-3-6-7-8 respectively.</p><p><em>For example, if a given Battle Beacon Score is Checkpoint 1: ENL 2; Checkpoint 2: RES 3; Checkpoint 3: ENL 4, and Battle CAT-V, then the Enlightened earn 42 points (6*7) and the Resistance earn 21 (3*7).</em></p><p>Each NIA-deployed Battle Beacon within play zones will be further given a multiplied weight of 10.</p><p><br /></p><p><strong>Results Announcements</strong></p><p>The final score for each Faction per city will be announced through in-app News Feed. The final score for Phase 1 will be announced within 24 hours through in-app News Feed and Ingress Community Forum.</p><p><br /></p><p><strong>Kureze Effect Medal</strong></p><p>Any Agent who has interacted with at least ten (10) Battle Beacons scored at any of the three Kureze Effect Phases will be awarded the in-app Kureze Effect medal. This medal will be awarded as soon as an Agent meets such criteria.</p><p><em>For example, if an Agent interacted with 3 Battle Beacons deployed by XM Sensitive Agents during Phase 1 and interacted with 7 NIA-deployed Battle Beacons during Phase 2, they will receive the Kureze Effect Medal by the end of Phase 2.</em></p><p><br /></p><p>To assist Agents in their efforts, a new metric will be added to Agent Profiles for the duration of the Kureze Effect to help you monitor individual progress.</p><p>As always, please remember to be aware of your surroundings. We encourage players to follow local health and safety guidelines when playing Ingress (such as wearing masks and maintaining at least six feet/two meters of distance from other people).

<p>We had an even turnout, 5 RES 5 ENL. We deployed 10 Rare BB and 3 VR BB over the course of an hour. </p><p>A few observations...</p><p>As a Player deployed BB site one of us (or multiple) needed to deploy the BB either all at once or over the course of time. We had chosn to deploy over the course of an hour. </p><p>As needing to do that thst person (me) would have to disengage at certain time periods to deploy a new BB. </p><p>Knowing what I know now I would either make some changes to have a smaller play box (it was pretty small to begin with) or would like the ability to remote deploy these items. I'm not sure if this is something <a data-username="NianticBrian" data-userid="20895" rel="nofollow" href="https://community.ingress.com/en/profile/NianticBrian">@NianticBrian</a> has thought about being able to do but I think it would be helpful for these type of locally run events. I think being able to deploy these on Portals within scanner range would help a lot. </p><p>Maybe this could come with a set up process where we could on the Intel map define a region and set a for deploys. This could allow organizers to be involved more fully on the ground. Also, we didn't have this issue but, if we could set these deploys on a schedule then maybe they would be deployed no matter what in that playbox. There was always a risk of somone deploying a beacon or fireworks on a portal we were going to use and thus preventing that deployment. It only takes one person to mess up the fun for others. This could also be accomplished by BB always being able to deploy even if another item may have already been. </p><p>I probably would also shorten the time window to 30 to 45 minutes. Tward the end people were already running out of gear. Now I know this is probably more an effect of players not really understanding what was going on. I think many showed up thinking more along the lines of Mission Day or First Saturday where it's more a cross faction social event than a battle. Not sure how to fix this except to promote "Bring Bursters" constantly. </p><p>One thing I think Rare BB could do and this could help with the scoring confusion is upon the scoreing activation point (after the 10 min countdown) have the beacon neutralize the portal. Than everyone knows if they have done an action after that, it's counting. </p><p>I was not at a Niantic deployed location so can't speak to how it was at those locations, but have heard second hand that the BB were too spread out. People had to move long distances to get the interaction needed to count. So maybe next phase choose a park, or a block or two, instead of a whole anomoly zone. Unless we know that large ammonts of players are showing up like a full anomaly.  With Ingress always promoting walking and health in events, agents not feeling like they need to jump in a car and drive all over town is probably a plus. </p><p>All in all here in Boise we had a good time. I know what I want to do to make It more fun next month. And hopefully we can get a few more people out. </p><p>How was everyone else's player run events? Did you invite the other team? </p><p><a data-username="NianticThia" data-userid="47111" rel="nofollow" href="https://community.ingress.com/en/profile/NianticThia">@NianticThia</a></p>]]>
