#AbaddonPrime Anomaly Rules: Explained!
Niantic released new rules for the upcoming Anomaly Events We will to make them simpler and to summarize the most important points.
Scoring Pt. 3
Challenge 3: Artifact Collection
Certain Portals in the Anomaly Zone will be highlighted with a blue symbol for a brief period of time, and upon hack will drop a media item which is part of a set. 5 sets with 6 items each (representing coloured shapes) exist.
The Portals which become active and drop Artifacts will change constantly.
Agents are required to keep the hacked medias in their inventory for well after the Anomaly ends, to allow for counting.
A single Agent's score is the number of unique artifacts in his inventory, plus 10 points for every unique complete set in his inventory.
A Faction's score is the average of its registered and checked-in players.
This score will be compared with the other Faction's creating scores on percent base. (100 maximum points).

Niantic is aware of the issue which made photos from legacy Portals disappear. Those photos were sent by email by Agents back in Ingress' early days and Portals involved are less than 3%. We'll update you if a fix is disclosed.

First rumors from the Agents on the field have it that the decay rate for Portals during the Dark XM Event is 30% a day, which is double the normal decay rate.
Also, unknown sources state that we already have lowered the number of Neutral Portals by around 80.000 from the start of the event.
We are still looking for confirmation of both data.

IUENG has created a "live" graph to follow the Dark XM event!
It contains the current amount of portals captured over the baseline and a tendency calculated over the last 3 estimates!
Keep in mind that numbers in here are UNOFFICIAL and coming from an anonimous source, and may vary from the actual situation. The graph is updated manually when i (@carlobolla) am awake and available (i'm in UTC+2).

#AbaddonPrime Anomaly Rules: Explained!
Niantic released new rules for the upcoming Anomaly Events We will to make them simpler and to summarize the most important points.
Unique Portal Hacks
The Faction whose Agents manage to hack the most Unique Portals in the Anomaly Zone wins. Any ornamented portal counts.
At the end of the Event, an average for all registered and checked-in Agents will be calculated, excluding the Agents on the top and bottom 15% of each Faction's leaderboard: the highest average wins 65 points for their Faction.
Total Scoring
• Total points for each site are 365: 100 for every of the 3 challenges and 65 for unique portal hacks.
• Kaohsiung and Amsterdam are worth 1 city point, while Chicaco is worth 2 city points
• If the score is 2-2 at the end, the Faction with the highest total score across all three cities wins the Series
• No global competition is set for this Series
This concludes our mini-series on the Anomaly Rules, we wish every Agent on the field, or supporting remotely a great Anomaly Series! Good luck and have fun!

Attention, all Agents around the world,
this is a crossfaction call to the scanners. We all want the Dark XM Event medal, but we need to collaborate to unlock it.
At the time of writing this post, we have captured 23% more portals compared to the baseline. At this rate, we'd only capture 125.000 portals, 30% of the goal. But not all is lost, we can completely overturn this datum with the effort of every one of you: fight next to each other for one day 💙💚
• How? Organise with your community an operation to capture all the portals in your city, together with the other faction. If you are alone or in a remote area of the world, go out and colour your area. Each portal is relevant!
• When? The call is for the 9 pm of April 28th of your local timezone: this way we will create a wave of colour from the east to the west! You can go out before that time to capture portals inaccessible during the evening. The decay will not destroy them for several hours, don't worry about that.
• What else? Don't use XMPs. Put them in a capsule, forget about them. It is not relevant which faction is the owner, they just don't have to be neutral.
Reshare this message to all the groups you know, we will win all together!
@GigaThunder, @GloomyQueen and @carlobolla, three players, two factions, one fight

Our estimate for the hour just passed shows the tendency raising over the 400.000 portals mark for the first time!
Good job, Agents! Let's keep this going, and don't forget our call to action!

It's half past 9pm here, let's make a summary of the situation!
We finally reached the minimum line! We are estimating that 62.5% of the 400.000 Portals goal has been reached, and the wave we launched yesterday has reached half of the globe by now, so we can expect the percentage to raise more.
But the battle is not over! With a decay rate of 30% a day, if you deployed a resonator on a Portal at the start of the Event, and nobody recharged it, it will decay in the next day. Make sure to check your keys to find decaying portals and if you see enemy portals that are a step away from decaying, neutralise and capture them back!
The goal is in sight! Keep pushing!
