Niantic has released an Mission Authoring FAQ a few hours ago which details things such as how long it takes to review a mission, the Fast Track system for First Saturday and Second Sunday missions, an appeal process for certain rejected missions (e.g. using an image that isn't yours, but you have permission to use it) and tips on what to do when a mission is rejected. The FAQ also mention that Agents that keep resubmitting rejected Missions without trying to fix the issues for which they were rejected might be suspended from creating Missions.
If you are regularly submitting Missions or are running into issues during the review process, you should read through the article below!

The Wayfarer 'All Aboard' Challenge has officially concluded, and participants should be receiving their rewards in this period and by October 18th.
Throughout the challenge, a remarkable total of 151,459 nominations were successfully reviewed, and 44,189 dedicated explorers took part.
This means that Reviewers were granted access to the newly introduced Tier 4 rewards having evaluated such a high number of nominations from Italy, France, Germany, the United Kingdom, Denmark, Sweden, Austria, Switzerland, and Spain (countries had to be added to the original list since nominations ran out!).
For those eagerly awaiting their rewards, it's worth noting that reward codes will be delivered via email. Wayfarer Upgrades, part of the individual rewards, will be automatically credited to the profiles of all eligible participants. Keep an eye on your inbox!
Thanks @PkmnTrainerJ for reporting!

The Resistance is showing their strength after winning the GORUCK Urban Ops, and the winners of the GORUCK Stealth Ops - the Enlightened - promise a fierce battle until the end of the event.
May the best win! Agents, it's time to move!

๐ข ENL 539 - 461 RES ๐ต
Phase 3 will take place on November 19th but, in the meantime, the Discoverie Kinetic Challenge (Phase 2) is set to start in just a few hours! We are eager to see how the series will evolve! Keep following us for the latest updates!

The Discoverie Kinetic Challenge begins now!
From now until November 17th @ 23:59:59 UTC, Agents will be able to obtain the Discoverie Medal by claiming the items from a completed program (just walking the required distance isn't enough!) 30 times from Kinetic Capsules. Not only that, but the Faction with the most Agents reaching this goal will obtain a 1.331x multiplier on their score in Discoverie's phase 3!
A midpoint measurement will be taken at a time yet to be defined.
โน Hint: the tail of the challenge will bleed into the #IngressY11 celebrations event. From November 10th, Agents will be able to run 11x 1km Kinetic Capsule at the same time!
It's time to move! ๐ถโโ

๐ต๐ข Operation Clear Field was completed successfully with the help of many smiling Agents from both Factions!
Our live correspondent from Madrid captured them posing for the ritual group picture.
All 14 teams completed enough tasks from the "hitlist" to cross the 30 point threshold, which means they can expect a count up on their Operation Clear Field badge within the next few weeks.
We hope you enjoyed the event! Tag yourselves in the comments!

It's not a bug, it's a feature! For the rest of the Discoverie series, which end in the middle of December, Agents will be able to create links shorter than 8km while under fields.
This change was previously only planned for the three weekends where agents compete for cities.

In May 2020, Virtual Ingress First Saturday Events were introduced to allow Agents to maintain this type of events even in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Today, FevGames has announced that, starting in 2024, in-person Ingress First Saturday Events will return to be the only ones to award a First Saturday Badge point.
Onsite Decoding challenge, restock portals, event verification, and online registration will remain the same. However, the online decoding challenge, auto-scoresheet and group photo will become optional.
If your event site is forecast to experience any disturbance out of your control (weather, civil disturbances, etc...), it can be turned into an online event as late as 72 hours before the start, however it won't be eligible for IFS medal credit.
For any questions, join the global IFS telegram community!

Niantic has published the release notes for Ingress Prime v2.128.1!
In this release, the tutorial has been redesigned so new players will get to know the game and learn how to play before they visit their first portal. This change will go live once everyone has access to the new version and it is forced for everyone.
In addition, a bug fix was made regarding an error message when trying to edit a Portal if the player hasn't reached the required level yet.
