As mentioned previously, in recognition of vital past contributions, all accepted Portal Submissions made during the Phase 1 expansion (until 9/2/2015) will be honored towards the Seer medal retroactively starting today. Please be patient as it may take a few days to process everything.

Berlin's Operation Clear Field was featured on Berlin Tafel's Facebook page. Together, we donated 320 kgs (705 lbs) of food for the less fortunate! Great job, agents!! You should be proud of your accomplishment!

Acolyte is the 5th Ingress lore character that will take part to the San Francisco Anomaly after PAC, Devra Bogdanovich, Misty Hannah and Akira Tsukasa. We believe something's up in this city...

​​Ingress is publishing a summary of its #backstory on the occasion of its 5 years celebration! There will be one post for every year of Ingress' life and today we are going to read about the beginnings of this wonderful journey!

1) Ingress' Unusual Beginnings

@IUENG

This week's #AMA by Andrew Krug was OPR themed. 47 questions were answered, here are the highlights!

- Agents who failed the OPR Test initially might be able to re-take it, but there is no plan to allow a third chance at the moment.
- Portals should be analyzed based on the reviewer's local knowledge. Asking other Agents is discouraged as it is considered colluding.
- The number of submissions available to an Agent every 14 days might increase
- Niantic is considering to enable comments to the Submitting Agent, to let them know which violations of the New Portal criteria led to a disapproval.
- Remote Portal Submission won't be reintroduced.
- Niantic is periodically allowing candidates to be analyzed from further away than normal, to both give more Candidates to Agents and review Portals in remote places.
- The information about how many reviewers evaluate each portal is highly classified.
- The Seer Medal is not returning to its original state.

There’s been a disturbance in the force. Niantic has been given proof of people breaking TOS on a massive scale.

#MUChallenge

A challenge for Agents around the world, and a reward from the NIA's predictive intelligence unit...

NIA Analysts are working to uncover intel related to the upcoming #EXO5 Anomalies, including the locations of Volatile Portals and Research Nodes.

I will have access to 9 packets of Intel, and here is how you can earn them:

On Friday, Dec 1, create Fields (in the specific regions below, as well as Globally). The Faction with the greatest increase in MU over the 5 hour checkpoint I specify will gain access to the intel.

We'll be measuring total MU once at the beginning at the specific window, and once at the end. The Faction with the greater increase wins.

GLOBAL MU
Reward: 1 Intel packet.
UTC Offset: 0
Septicycle: 2017.46
Window being Measured: 16:00 (first Measurement) to 21:00 (last Measurement). Times in UTC.

AS09-KILO-08 (around Medan, Indonesia)
Reward: 1 Intel packet.
UTC Offset: +7
Septicycle: 2017.46
Window being Measured: 18:00 (first Measurement) to 23:00 (last Measurement). Times are local for this Cell.

PA01-SIERRA-08 (around Adelaide, Australia)
Reward: 1 Intel packet.
UTC Offset: +10.5
Septicycle: 2017.46
Window being Measured: 16:30 (first Measurement) to 21:30 (last Measurement). Times are local for this Cell.

Reward: 1 Intel packet.
UTC Offset: +13
Septicycle: 2017.46
Window being Measured: 19:00 (first Measurement) to 24:00 (last Measurement). Times are local for this Cell.

NR02-DELTA-10 (around Kiev, Ukraine)
Reward: 1 Intel packet.
UTC Offset: +2
Septicycle: 2017.46

Window being Measured: 17:00 (first Measurement) to 22:00 (last Measurement). Times are local for this Cell.

AF11-SIERRA-13 (around Naples, Italy)
Reward: 1 Intel packet.
UTC Offset: +1
Septicycle: 2017.46
Window being Measured: 17:00 (first Measurement) to 22:00 (last Measurement). Times are local for this Cell.

AM01-HOTEL-07 (around Des Moines, IA, USA)
Reward: 1 Intel packet.
UTC Offset: -6
Septicycle: 2017.46
Window being Measured: 15:00 (first Measurement) to 20:00 (last Measurement). Times are local for this Cell.

AM14-PAPA-14 (around Asuncion, Paraguay)
Reward: 1 Intel packet.
UTC Offset: -3
Septicycle: 2017.46
Window being Measured: 18:00 (first Measurement) to 23:00 (last Measurement). Times are local for this Cell.

AM16-PAPA-15 (around Montevideo, Uruguay)
Reward: 1 Intel packet.
UTC Offset: -3
Septicycle: 2017.46
Window being Measured: 18:00 (first Measurement) to 23:00 (last Measurement). Times are local for this Cell.

That's 9 packets of Intel, all told -- 1 for each Region identified and one for Global MU. Good luck, Agents.

Andrew Krug:

In the U.S. today, it is Thanksgiving. A time when we reflect and give thanks for what we have. I have so many things to be thankful for. Mostly I am thankful for my family and my health. However, Ingress has had such a big impact on my life and I do what I do because of you. Thank you Agents.
