Niantic is changing their policy on actions taken if ToS or Ingress Community Guidelines are violated.

The new system will make use of three disciplinary strikes.
• Strike 1: Warning
• Strike 2: Suspension for approx. 30 days
• Strike 3: Termination

If you receive any strike, access to Scanner [REDACTED] will be disabled and you'll only be able to read and acknowledge any punishment on Ingress Prime.

#Myriad Anomaly Rules: Explained!

Chapter 2: Shard Battle

During periods in between measurements, Shards and Research Portals (highlighted with a decorated hexagon in yellow for the Enlightened and in purple for the Resistance) will spawn in the playbox. Goal of the challenge is to make a Shard cross as many unique Research Portals of your Faction as possible.

The measurement period will be structured as reported on the picture below: at minute 3 of the measurement period, the first jump will happen, followed by jumps every 5 minutes (at minutes 8, 13 and 18). Jumps may happen up to a minute before or after these times.
At minute 20, Shards and Research Portals will dematerialise to reappear at the start of the next measurement period.

• To make Shards travel to another linked portal, both origin and destination Portals must be of level 4+ (doesn't matter if the portal is not fully deployed).
• Shards will not backtrack to Portals they've been to in the previous 7 minutes
• If many links originate from a Portal holding a shard, it may jump along any of those links and if many Shards are on a Portal, they may jump along different Links.
• If no link is present, and the Shard was still for at least 7 minutes, it will teleport to a random nearby Portal.

Everytime a unique Research Portal is visited by a single Shard, 1 point will be awarded to the Faction owning the Research Portal independently from the color of the Portal. 100 Anomaly Points will then be distributed to the two teams on a percentual basis.

Next chapter: Longest Link Path

Brian Rose, producer for Ingress when Niantic Labs was part of Google, rejoined the team! On his announcement tweet a coded message says "Here's to many more adventures on foot with friends!"

We'd like to wish him good luck on this new adventure!

Bug: Fixed an issue where mission waypoint portals became difficult to select.

The new Update will get to your scanner in the next few days!

A weird notification was sent to Ingress Prime Users, what does it mean? Some say decoders are already onto something...

Thanks @Hulk32!

@IUENG
Agents from all around the world created a list of issues they believe exist on the new Ingress Prime Scanner App and want to send it as a Letter to Niantic.

We ask you to read it carefully, and even if you partly agree or not agree at all, please fill in this form and provide your feedback on what's proposed.

Note: this letter was not created by the staff of this channel. We believe this is a great chance for all Agents to show Niantic if the direction they've taken is a good one or not, and ask you to read it and give your feedback.

Media is too big

Part of the Lore behind Myriad Anomalies was unveiled with yesterday's decoding effort on the mysterious Notification. Today, Niantic released a video explaining the full story right before the upcoming Events: all Niantic Project Researchers were killed systematically by an Organization of unknown power. Now, they've been given a second chance to defeat Nemesis.

During the Warsaw NL1331X event of today, Redsolocup answered to some questions, here is what he said:

• Niantic is aware of all the issues in the letter that was posted in @IUENG this morning, amongst other things
• Niantic is working to organise future European Mission Days, but the European team is small, Pokémon Go events and Harry Potter also need to happen. Dominik supports all the products, and they are currently hiring to increase it
• Andrew had way more users in his Telegram channel than previously expected
• There is the idea to add the physical anomaly swag in the online Ingress Store, if it cannot be delivered to Anomaly sites in time

Thanks to @M1chaeI for the report!

@IUENG
Starting now, dropped items will disappear faster than normal to reduce load on the servers during the upcoming #Myriad Anomalies!

#Myriad Anomaly Rules: Explained!

Chapter 3: Longest Link Path and Unique Portal Hacks

During periods in between measurements, Base Portals for each Faction (highlighted with a decorated triangle in yellow for the Enlightened and in purple for the Resistance) will spawn in the playbox. Goal of the challenge is to create a continuous chain of links from those Portals. The longer the chain, the more points will be awarded.

The first Link in the chain will be worth as many points as its length in Km, the second Link will be worth double its length in points and so on up to 8x the length of the 8th Link.
The raw score for each Faction will be its maximum score from any of the measurements during the Anomaly Period. 100 Anomaly Points will be then distributed to the two teams on a percentual basis.

Unique Portal Hacks

Only during the Anomaly Period
, from start to end, each Agent will have his unique hacks - only in the Anomaly Zone - counted.

At the end of the Events, top and bottom 15% of each Faction's leaderboard will be removed, and the score calculated taking the average number of Unique Anomaly Portal Hacks for each Faction. The winner of this challenge will get all of the 40 points at stake

This concludes our insight on the Anomaly Rules for #Myriad! If you have any additional questions, try visiting Niantic's FAQ or feel free to contact us!

Agents are reporting that this video is being hacked as a media from Anomaly Portals.

The mysterious figure is the same one depicted in the Myriad Unique Hack Badge, and it appears to say "We are Nemesis".

The Investigation team is already looking in the video to find out more details!

Thanks @markymarkmark

The mysterious figure is Myriad. Here is what it says:

Routine Mainteinance?
Never forget that the first three letters of Niantic are N, I, A.
I am Myriad.
We are Nemesis.
We turned off [REDACTED], do you think you can reactivate it yourself?
You think you can capture me, be careful what you wish for.
Your world belongs to us now.

Thanks to Essex, for the help in transcripting!

Message from the Glyph Journal

"We didn't expect to open another contest this shortly, but new glyphs and sequences have entered the network. We need your help to collect them again!

To participate, you need to glyph hack a portal and screenshot all glyphs during the result screen of the glyph hack (exception below) and send the screenshot to @InvestigateXM. It doesn't matter if you didn't draw all glyphs correct or if you have already submitted the same sequence.

However, this time you MUST send us the meaning of each glyph in the sequence. In the following example, you MUST submit either via caption or as a message replying to your screenshot with "Destroy - Field - Capture - Key". If you do not send the glyph names, your screenshot is NOT valid.

Please only submit screenshots you made yourself starting now.

The contest starts now and runs until Sunday, July 28th, 12PM PST.

The prize pool consists of character badges for your scanner: 2 Akira'17, 1 PAC'18 (Navarro version) and 1 VR loadout code

Happy glyphing!"
