Did I see a mission days in Huntsville AL?

Rumor has it . .

🗣 Rumors report of talks between Niantic and Saudi-based Scopely for the sale of the former's games division.

Bloomberg reports that Niantic has entered talks for the sale of their video-game business for an estimated $3.5 billion, with a potential verdict coming in the next few weeks. Pokemon Go is included in the talks as well as "other mobile games", although there is no assurance yet that a deal will be reached at all.

As members of the community have pointed out, Scopely is known for games such as Monopoly GO which are criticized as being pay to win, filled with ads and other anti-consumer practices.

⚠️ While this news may sound less then stellar for Ingress, do note that:
- This is an unconfirmed report
- This deal has not been finalized and could fall through
- Ingress may not be included in the sale

At this point, any potential consequences for Ingress are speculation and should not be taken at face value.

A memorial for a GOOD frog. I just learned of the passing of Brent Copeland, Agent Goonie Guy. Goonie was a fellow podcaster on Agent Academy and a distant friend. The last time I saw Goonie was when he drove from his home in Huntsville Alabama to Effingham to attend the Jan 4th, 2020 First Saturday in Effingham. If you were playing in early December of 2018 you would have been covered by a 2 million MU BAF by Goonie and his frog buddies. (Cycle 2018.46. We won that cycle BTW. . . ) He will be missed.

I was thinking about GoonieGuy today; the frogs in our cell were extra jumpy in the last cycle. About 5 or 6 years ago I did some work for an artists friend and he did some digital artwork as repayment. The subjects are the hosts of AA at the time, Vain, DeweyJ, and GoonieGuy. The subject was one of my first submission to "What's in the Capsule" - a Link Laser that if powerful enough and aimed well would kill one link. We would like to think the XM weapon never made it out of the testing phase.

PS - Note the number of green links and the one blue agent has the link laser! Yeah - the artist did not understand cross linking rules.

I just noticed there are a couple of Easter eggs in the picture. Can you spot them?
