Dear agents,

I created a post on G+ with all the pictures posted during the #GlobalShard event and in the description you can find some stats of these six long weeks.

I am here to ask you the last thing: collaborate with us to make it memorable! Comment it with the hastag of the shard involved (e.g. #Shard15) followed by the link of a report made by you, your friends or someone you know!

#Drones #AgainsTheTOS

Nia Ops post:

"Agents,
We have seen questions regarding the use of drones recently. As a guideline, we discourage players from using drones or other remote controlled devices. Ingress is not about your phone’s location, it’s about your location. We encourage people to have adventures, explore the world around them, and to support the spirit of the game within their own communities."

In the comments:

Ben Warden: "+NIA Ops is there a distinction between strapping phones to drones and using drones for signal relays while the agent and phone are in the proper GPS location for the portal?"

Sean Graham (Telek): "+Ben Warden signal relay has always been fine -- you are not falsifying your location in any way, so there's nothing wrong with it. That's no different than using BGAN."

Nia Ops: "+Ben Warden We understand that in some low signal areas drones have been used as antennas to reach for a better signal. That is ok as long as the player and the phone are in the same location as you describe."

Nia Ops: "+Sean Graham Thanks for the question Sean. Further clarification: Using drones to falsify your location is against the spirit and rules of the game. Don't do it."

🙊IUENG RUMORS🙊

Soloredcup (Niantic Employee) has once again exposed himself on the Reddit website, releasing some statements on a possible Ingress 2.0 version:

"That's not speculation. That is confirmed. I can confirm it."

"Correct that it is because of RoboVM." (Development platform, used for Ingress, no longer supported from April 30th, Ed.)

"[...]And yes, 2.0 is coming. Brace yourself."

FevGames has canceled all planned and future IFS due to lack of funds, so there will be no more IFS

@IUENG

Keep calm, everybody! FevGames's fine, they just wanted to make a joke on April 1! They also took this opportunity to wish you a happy Easter!

#FateOfThe13 #Video #Enl

"Now that the Enlightened control the fate of the MAGNUS, what are they thinking? I invite any Enlightened who wishes to make their opinion public to make a short video explaining how they would wish to structure the future MAGNUS so that we can begin to learn what they have in mind.

Resistance Agents could also make their pitches — but I doubt they would have much impact beyond simply to provide an opinion for others to consider.

For convenience’s sake, I’d recommend tagging any posts with #FateOfThe13."

#USA #CircleK #Playoff

U.S. Agents, Circle K is holding a Circle K Ingress Playoff. 16 cities in 4 regions can participate. Rare and Very Rare Ingress passcodes are coming to Circle K stores! When you make a qualified purchase and scan the Circle K app at checkout, Agents will get a passcode for Ingress items. To make things interesting, we’re holding a cross-faction Hack-a-Thon to see which cities get early access to this special promotion. The winning region will have all of their Circle K Store Portals producing Rare and Very Rare codes two weeks earlier than the rest of the United States. The region in second place will get its stores to start producing codes a week early.

To participate, in the Circle K Ingress Playoff all you have to do is hack Circle K portals in the cities listed below from 3 April 2017 to 16 April 2017. This competition is a cross-faction event. All portal hacks, regardless of faction, will count towards that region’s cumulative count.

Good luck and happy hacking!

Baton Rouge, LA
Tampa, FL

In the comments:

David Sentelle (Vegomite L16R): "So, +Ingress​ does this mean that only those 16 cities will get these codes? Or are the codes chain-wide?"

Ingress: "+David Sentelle​ the codes will eventually be nationwide. After the first and second place winners exclusive window has expired."
