Agent @betadina sends us the wonderful group picture from the Ingress Mission Day in Timiศoara, Romania, celebrating a day of missions amidst the vibrant cultural scene. As the European Capital of Culture this year hosts closing ceremonies with concerts and exhibitions, the city offers our dedicated agents a blend of adventure and art. And yes, above the group picture, the photos show the free swag kit that was available for all participants!
We sincerely hope you enjoyed the event and the city, and thank the organisers for bringing this event to the community!๐ต๐ข

๐ต๐ข Almost 60 players from both factions from all over Germany, Switzerland and Austria fought a great battle for the Portals at Mission Day Lite in Bad Buchau, Germany on the 3rd December 2023 in sunny -4ยฐC and lots of snow!
The brave Agents defied adverse conditions, as it snowed non-stop for the 3 days leading up to the event and rail traffic came to a complete standstill. Some portals were rendered inaccessible because the paths had been flooded, but thanks to NIA's rapid response, this could be changed just in time for all Agents to enjoy the Mission Day.
A big thank you to Agent @Beruriernoir for this picture!

OPR Live is changing!
Starting now, agents that reach the highest tier in the individual rewards for Niantic Wayfarer Challenges will receive a point for the OPR Live medal! Previously, this medal was only available as a paid add-on during certain anomalies, so for many agents this might be the first chance to unlock it.
Niantic notes that Wayfarer challenges will be limited to one per quarter, so going forward, 4 points for OPR Live can be gained per year.
The first opportunity starts now! The newest Wayfarer Challenge has just started and is underway for the next 7 days. We will post details in a separate post.

The Wayfarer team has released their answers to the November 2023 AMA questions! We want to highlight the following answers:
๐ธWayfarer App
The Wayfarer team initially planned to release a standalone app for players in Summer this year. After being postponed initially, the team has announced that no further development on the app is planned and that the current version will be deprecated and closed soon. Developers that are currently using the app will be migrated to another app focused specifically on scanning.
๐ธRemovals
Niantic is working on updating the removals process by the end of the year to align it more towards the eligibility criteria for new Wayspots in addition to the already existing removal criteria. It is currently unknown if this will be handled on Niantics side only or if the games will recieve additional categories to report an invalid Wayspot as well, however the team hopes that players will see the results of this work before the end of their next AMA.
๐ธContribution Management
After being postponed multiple times Niantic has also announced that the update to the Contribution Management to show edits and pictures has been delayed again with no new estimate currently given. As opposed to the Wayfarer app however Niantic still wants to keep it on the list of features to work on, however at the moment other aspects like the abuse management system and the edits backlog take priority.
You can check out the post for more details and answers: https://community.wayfarer.nianticlabs.com/discussion/comment/243501#Comment_243501

In August 2023, a string of wildfires ignited in Hawaii, mainly on the island Maui. Driven by strong winds, these fires led to evacuations, inflicted extensive damage, and resulted in the loss of a minimum of 100 lives.
As agents are preparing for the Honolulu anomaly this weekend, Niantic has announced that they will donate $1 for every Kinetic Capsule program claimed until the end of December. In addition, all of the revenue of the Year 11 shirts that is left over after Amazon takes their cut will be donated as well.
To motivate Agents to complete Kinetic Capsules Niantic has also added a new Kinetic Capsule program to the scanner. For the cost of 8 L1 XMPs (or higher level) and a massive 1 XM you'll recieve 3 Peace Beacons once you have walked 8km and the program is complete.
You can buy the Year 11 shirt on Amazon through the links in this post: https://ingress.com/news/2023-year11-merch

With 600 points at stake and the score standing at ENL 1327 - 1222 RES, there are a couple of combinations and targets for both factions. We have summed them up here.
If the Resistance won the Discoverie Reclaimer Challenge, they would need to score at least 279 points in Honolulu to win the series. The Enlightened would need at least 322.
If the Enlightened won the Discoverie Reclaimer Challenge, they would need to score at least 179 points to win the series. The Resistance would need at least 422.
