#UmbraGlobalChallenge
Agents are on course to deploy >45M resonators by the end of the challenge window. For agents working to level up, note that global challenge medal tiers are the equivalent of bronze, silver, and gold, and count towards medal requirements.

Brian Rose comment on the Ingress forum:
The 13 chapters and NEMESIS medals are meant to display a spectrum of colors that represent each character or archetype, shown here.
The artwork for 2019 and Q1 2020 medals was completed earlier this year. I hear you about the faction colors, but small team, lots of open tasks, and I'm prioritizing new work. Going forward, we've taken this feedback into account and will be more mindful about what colors we use for the next series following NEMESIS.
wrt difficulty, I have a different opinion on how we should be using global challenges to encourage long-term gameplay than I've seen in some of our previous events. I too like a challenge, but I don't feel every event needs to set a target of a small percentage success rate. I feel like helping more people stretch and earn a gold medal doesn't hurt those who felt it was super easy. But if I've been stuck at Level 10 and have been medal-locked for some time, these kinds of events might keep me in the game longer and feel more invested in the game. The highest tier global challenge medal is the equivalent of gold, not onyx, and we can tune each event so that some are more or less difficult than others.
Lastly, I dislike negative reinforcement or punishments for failure in global challenges, so I designed the outcome where success means the 3X AP for final or eighth resonator slot deploys continues through First Saturday, and failing to defeat the Umbra challenge means the temporary bonuses end. For Jan, I like the idea of setting global stretch goals for additional rewards for those who want to go above and beyond.

It's been a wonderful year for our channel, we had more than 3000 new members since last year and I couldn't be more grateful, both for this result and for my awesome friends running the house because without them, this channel wouldn't even exist. Happy 2020 to all our followers!
- @carlobolla
A lot of changes happened during this year, some positive, some negative, both in our private lives and Ingress community. Thanks to all our followers and to all the people behind the channel to be so awesome, and let's start all together this 2020 one next the other, independently of the faction!
- @GigaThunder
This has been a very hard year for me, very often I thought of quitting.
This channel has become a bit like a family, and youโre all part of it, a family thatโs been there for me in my hard times.
Thank you for everything, thank you for the past year and thank you for the year to come!

Please note you may still see an occasional 502 error message, and we're continuing to investigate further. If you're still seeing an issue where some portals aren't loading, please let me know.
