What's happening: Any purchase of CMU is causing the Store to freeze on the 'Purchase in progress' screen and disallow subsequent purchases.

Your payment will process and your items will successfully be added to your inventory, however this issue will prevent subsequent purchases of any item following the CMU bundle.

Workaround: Restarting Ingress will clear the error message that you're seeing in the Ingress Store but you will not be able to make additional purchases.

In these minutes, we came to know that Andrew Krug will leave the Global Ingress Community Manager role at Niantic on December 30th.

Although some sadness fills our hearts after all this time in your company, we would like to thank you, Andrew, for all the hard work you have done for the community: it's been an honour to have you by our side, farewell and good luck on all your future adventures!

He wrote a farewell message on the community forum we invite you all to read: https://community.ingress.com/en/discussion/7811/farewell-agents

@IUENG
A quick update on the Umbra Deploy Challenge to address some of your questions:

1) Only deploys (not upgrades) will count towards the 30M threshold.

2) The 30M threshold is NOT total unique deploys. It is cumulative deploys from all Agents during the event.

3) Upgrades and deploys count as the same action for the individual medal. If you deploy to slot 1 then upgrade slot 1, that will count as a single deploy for you. If someone else deploys to slot 1 then you upgrade slot 1, it count as deploy for both Agents.

@IUENG
Agents,

As 2019 comes to an end, we wanted to look back at some of the memories and achievements of this year.

Our community has always been what has made Ingress successful. Although the plans to revamp Ingress First Saturday started in 2018, things really came to fruition in 2019. During the last twelve months Agents organized over 4169 Ingress First Saturday events. 145,443 Agents attended these community-organized events. In total, Agents walked in total over 14,000km during Ingress First Saturdays.

In addition, Agents organized 99 Mission Days and approximately 40,000 Agents from across 36 countries attended. Agents even organized a Mission Day at Sea cruise to ports around the Caribbean like Grand Cayman Island! 3,500 Agents also attended 50 NL1331 events. The team traveled to 16 different countries around the globe. For the summer European NL1331 trip, the team drove almost 3,600km in total collecting XM and doing research along the way.

2019 also saw the dramatic conclusion of the Osiris sequence which started in 2018. Fifteen Anomalies occurred during February and March as part of the Darsana Prime series. The sequence ended with three massive Anomalies taking place in Kaohsiung, Taiwan on May 4th, Amsterdam, Netherlands on May 11th, and Chicago, IL, USA on May 25th. The Resistance were ultimately the victors of the overall Osiris sequence.

As one sequence ended, a new threat emerged -- Nemesis. Who or what Nemesis is still seems a bit uncertain. One thing is for certain, they are not from our universe. The Nemesis sequence kicked off on July 27th with Myriad, followed by Umbra on October 12th. The Nemesis sequence is far from over. The Requiem Anomaly will be held on May 9th in Munich, Germany.

In 2019 we also launched the Ingress community forums (community.ingress.com) as a way for Agents to communicate outside of the game and find the latest updates and announcements directly from Niantic. In the 6 months since it’s been active, more than 25,000 Agents have joined the Community!

2019 was a successful year because of you, Agents! We look forward to all of the new exciting changes coming to Ingress in 2020. See you out there!

-The Ingress Team

#UmbraDeployChallenge

A lot of you are reporting to have done more than the bronze medal threshold, and the medal didn't appear on the scanner.

Without any official announcement, we suppose that the medal will appear at the end of the event.

We will keep you updated if Niantic posts something.

@IUENG

Requiem Anomaly (Saturday, May 9th)

Munich, Germany

As we did with the Osiris Sequence finale events of Abaddon Prime, Niantic intends to host a cross-faction after-party with entertainment, refreshments, and exclusive experiences. When registration for the Munich event opens, you will be able to purchase a ticket (price to be determined) for the after-party if you wish to attend. We will be offering free onsite and offsite activation tickets for the Anomaly. A ticket will be required to participate in the Anomaly, have your actions scored, and earn the Anomaly medal. To attend the afterparty you will have to purchase an afterparty ticket. In addition, we will no longer require POCs for Hexathlon and Anomaly events going forward.

💙💚 Agent @wellamo shared with us this wonderful screenshot: a total of 50 agents from both factions gathered to create this beautiful cross-faction field art in Turku, Finland. The artwork of a canoeing man and a sunset was created to commemorate their beloved agent, a true outdoorsman and a paddler FlyGPS420 who suddenly passed away a month ago.

@IUENG
The @IngressUnite flashmob continues!

Every month, IFS locations all around the world participate and exchange greetings to celebrate unity via Ingress even if physically far apart.
IFS locations that sign up will be assigned a random sister location to greet in a photo, a video or whichever way you can come up with!

The organizer, @NikaKor has setup the handy @IngressUniteBot, through which you can register, ask any questions and send the greetings at.

It's not strictly necessary to participate as a IFS location, but it's required to be a group ;) Registration is open until December 28 @ 23:59 UTC!

@IUENG
Let the countdown to a new year begin!

#UmbraGlobalChallenge

Excellent start. If agents' current pace is maintained, trendline indicates they are expected to defeat the Umbra Global Challenge on or around 24-DEC-2019.
For new recruits joining the fold, work with friendly agents in your local cells to take advantage of 3X AP for deploying eighth resonator slots, and 2X AP for destroying enemy resonators, links, and fields.
Next SITREP to be posted here in approximately 24 hours.

The latest report from Niantic's Brian Rose about the Umbra Deploy Challenge shows that the boom from last days is slowly decreasing, but we will hit the mark easily if we continue our current efforts! Keep it up, Agents!
