Hi everyone and welcome to the Ingress First Saturday for August in Pepinster.
This month, we are organizing an event in the honor of those who suffered from the floods in July - Pepinster having been hit especially hard.

For this, outside of the usual Portal Recharge, Puzzle Decoding and overall Ingress Play, we want to raise funds for those impacted:
- Crowdfunding for impacted RES players @tenomis and @mayakilou: https://www.paypal.com/pools/c/8BoI9ImWV9
- Donate to the Red Cross who is hard at work in the impacted regions (and elsewhere): https://www.rodekruis.be/helpenhelpt/ (NL) or https://je-donne.croix-rouge.be/b/mon-don (FR)

Event Details:
- Saturday 07/08 from 17h to 19h
- Event page: https://fevgames.net/ifs/event/?e=21292
- Info Channel: https://t.me/ifs08_2021
- Social Chat: https://t.me/info_ifs082021
- Decoding Group: https://t.me/decoding082021
- Stats and a picture will need to be sent to a bot - the bot details will be shared on the day of the event itself.

If you have any questions, do not hesitate to ask in the Social Chat!

* De organisatie spreekt ook Nederlands (Vlaams), maar wil de tekst niet te lang maken 🙂
* L'organisation parle aussi français, mais veut éviter d'écrire un texte trop long 🙂

Dont forget that you can also donate to @tenomis and @mayakilou ingress swags 💚💙, since in addition to losing almost everything, they also lost personal memories such as those of ingress.

The artists Elvya Dulcimer (@ElvyaDulcimer 💚) and Georgina (@Polarsight💙) created two artistic virtual gifts for all the participants of this First Saturday in tribute to @tenomis and @mayakilou who lost almost everything in the floods of the last month of July We will send the gifts in some minutes. #morethanagame #ingressFS

"Woodburn" is the name of this artistic creation Thank you ❤️ @Polarsight !!

Hello everyone! Here we are again!
For this month we´ve chosen Brussels for the First Saturday @Home in a hybrid format ( more info soon!) 📢 Infochannel: @FSBrussels
💬 Social Chat: https://t.me/+Tu_cqGjmPdBgK-qW
📝 Registrations:https://fevgames.net/ifs/event/?e=23123 Decoding Group: https://t.me/+GA6BA-k8aG5dljw9 Blog: https://fsbrussels.home.blog/ingress-first-saturday-brussels-home-2022-hybrid-edition-at-halles-saint-gery/
so :
1. Upload your starting stats.
2. A selfie (recommended but not required) or an ingress related self-made photo with your agent name on it. Bonus points if you can process something Spring related in the photo.
3. Your final stats. Note that your finishing stats must be different from your starting stats! We recommend achieving at least 5000 ap. You can achieve this through recharge, among other things. The bot will close immediately when the IFS ends. If the final stats are not submitted in time or are not different from the starting stats, your entry will be considered invalid.
If someone can´t play during the time of the IFS we recommend participating in another IFS. Cheating with the time stamp or the numbers in the bot will result that we will not send your scoresheet to fevgames! If you think someone cheated contact @nomADAndrea or @DragonfIice as quick as possible with evidence of cheating.
A photo is also required to participate. (We do not determine these rules, they are imposed on us by Fevgames)
You can always reach us, but keep in mind that we are only with a few people and that we cannot always respond immediately.
The orga speaks Dutch (@DragonfIice), French (@nomADAndrea) and English (both).
It's XFact so don't share team secrets and be respectful of the other team.
thank you for participating in our IFS.

@nomADAndrea 💙 & @DragonfIice💚 ✔️ Stats ( AP - XM) and a picture will need to be sent to a bot - the bot details will be shared on the day of the event itself.
🔘Photo Requirements:
To be eligible for the medal, you will need to submit a photo following these requirements:
✔️ Do not reuse an old photo
✔️ Show an Ingress-related item (Glyph, game profile, Smurf, frog, Ingress swag, ...)
✔️ Selfie is _not_ mandatory
If you have any questions, do not hesitate to ask in the Social Chat!

Op 7 en 8 mei keert het Irisfeest terug in zijn oorspronkelijke vorm! https://irisfeest.brussels/?_ga=2.134684977.1782005579.1650312868-652182329.1650312868
