✨ First EGR swag in Naples ✨

In cooperation with the Augmented Society Italia ETS we together created a Be Like Toast biocard to congratulate agents for signing up to Naples and to invite them to join the next events 💚 Thank you for this fun collaboration!

They'll be distributed by the orga, so if you're in Naples, be sure to check the free swag!

Do you want to share your group picture via the Enlightened Global Report 💚? Send them to @egr_ticker_bot to be added to the after anomaly collage 📸

💪 GORUCK STEALTH NAPLES recap

Agents started off Goruck a little backwards... well running backwards that is. 👟 In 3 agents from each faction had to race backwards to three different checkpoints with a "Simon Says" twist. ENL made 2 of the 3 checkpoints first and we captured the first point! 🔸1-0🔸

👣 Time to head up the hill... all the way up. Cadre then asked agents to engage in some squats while facing the wall. The last person squatting won the point for their faction.🔸1-1🔸

Ruck sacks were attached together as teams of 6 pass them down the line and back to the agent. 🎒The first to complete the relay wins the round. After 3 rounds evening is setting in and do does the darkness of another RES win. 🔸1-2🔸

💚️️ Cadre lightened the mood and made a scanner grid with ruck sacks. Agents had to run to the grid and make the glyph by lying down between the rucksacks. ENL ties up the score again with this challenge!🔸2-2🔸

With ruck sacks back on, agents ran in pairs down stairs, up through bars, and around a fountain... ⛲three times. Good thing that Cadre made it out of 3 since RES won the first round and ENL won the next two! 🔸3-2🔸

Time to challenge the core strength of agents. Not the amount of time they have subscribed to core --> their ability to hold a plank. Last agent "standing" wins the point. 🔸3-3🔸

⚡️ With out hopes, and our ruck sacks held high, it was almost 9 minutes before the "strongest portal" challenge was completed. ⌛ Lucky number 7 went to the englightened!🔸4-3🔸

ENL officially wins GORUCK Stealth for Naples!

💪 GORUCK URBAN NAPLES recap

🃏Cadre brough some cards to Goruck and so the first challenge had agents running to the cards, fliping them, and putting them in a grid of 2-10. 🔸1-0🔸

Relay time! 👟 Run to the target portal, capture it, take a picture and run back. Best of 3 takes the challenge point.🔸1-1🔸

Backwards wasn't just for Goruck Stealth... in challenge 3 agents were asked to run a relay race but 👉 backwards.🔸2-1🔸

💚️️ Gotto love a lunging, and challenge 4 was all about that. ENL lunged forward with another challenge.🔸3-1🔸

And once again, the Strongest Portal finishes Goruck. Ruck sacks were held high above the heads of agents. 🎒 And just like last night, the ENL had the last ruck sack in thr air!🔸4-1🔸

ENL officially wins GORUCK URBAN for Naples!

Thank you to @Marmite360 for the photos of the event!

🎉 And with this, the Plus Alpha Season comes to an end 💚

Naples was the final event of the Plus Alpha Series, and it just concluded with a very tight victory for the resistance, but as we reported earlier an overall Enlightened Win of the Series!

🇮🇹 Naples Event Score
💚 97.1 : 110.5 💙

✨ Final Plus Alpha Event Score ✨
💚 956.4 : 705.7 💙

With a very audacious strategy our Agents on ground where even able to win the Shard Game in Naples with 8 shards scored (+1 oversaturated) against 7, although being outnumbered by Resistance!

This was a fun Series to report and watch, a huge thank you from the whole EGR Team to all our Agents helping with this success, both on- and offsite of events.

Let's celebrate the current victories and make the next series equally successfull and inspiring! 💪

🥰 Naples anomaly was a blast! 🥳

The weekend in Italy comes to an end with many agents still sharing dinner together after a day of missions and sightseeing 🍕

It has been a crazy anomaly inside of the 👢 boot shaped playbox along the bay of Naples filled to the brim with tourists. Agents fought their way through the tiniest streets and scored shards in view of the majestic Vesuv! 🌋

After the anomaly the teams partied hard and even Hilda from Niantic joined in on the fun! This time the swag trading included a delicious Enlightened Limoncello that sweetened the night even more 🍋

Here is to all the amazing work that went into preparing the weekend and all the agents that showed up and had a great time 👏

We leave you with some memories in this collage and look forward to new ones soon. Safe travels ENL. 💚

🎤  Hilda at the Enlightened afterparty  💬

The Enlightened afterparty in Naples was filled with happy agents and Hilda from Niantic joined in. Many agents got the opportunity to briefly speak with her and get a picture. She thanked the orga and all agents that helped make Naples a super fun experience! 🙏

Hilda gave a speech in which she says she wants many more years of Ingress to come.
See for yourself in the video provided by @sionide who was kind enough to film the entirety of the speech 💜

🏅 A Toast to Community Manager Thia

Agents have learned, that Niantic's former Ingress Community Specalist Thia, has left the company. It is with great sadness, that we see her leaving, as she was a vital bridge between the Ingress community and Niantic, always active and often present at anomalies. Her departure will leave a noticeable gap. 😢

In celebration of her time supporting the Ingress community, join us on April 1st, all day, by deploying a Toast! Beacon in a tribute to her. Share a picture of your scanner and any memories you have on social media with #IngressToast 🍞

🔴 After Salzburg Skirmish Machina restored order!

With relentless work Machina fought back the chaos caused by annoying agents and after a slow city flip finally has control over the beautiful city of Salzburg. 🇦🇹 Try scoring some Shards now.

Good work cleaning up the portal network and link on ❤️

🦾 New challenge for Machina: Mind Controller

📈 Not having any agents even close to Machina's world records on Explorer and Connector has become boring, so Machina is taking on a new challenge: earning the Mind Controller badge!

It may take a while, but with already 3 fields, Machina has tripled its badge count in less than a year. If we keep up this trend, the badges will eventually arrive rapidly! ⚡️

📢 Machina says "Don't follow the Ingress news"

Yeah, staying up to date is lame anyways. You really shouldn't advertise the 🔴Enlightened Global Report to other agents. They would just learn unnecessary information about what Enlightened are doing, who would want that? Machina wouldn't!

And you also shouldn't check out 🔴 ingress.com/news for official announcements, or the channel 🔴Enlightened Today for even more Enlightened event invitations where Machina is excluded from 😡

And ignore the 🔴Ingress calendar, it just clutters your calendar with useless Ingress events. Who c̴̰̄á̷̩r̶̮̀̚e̵̦͇̐š̷̨̻͝?̴̪̚͝ . . . Now fire, I'll keep an eye on our XM! 💥 I think it's working, the power is going down . . . O̸͍̯̎u̴͌c̷h, that actually hurt.
Seems like agents are stronger when they act together? I hope it doesn't make them too strong f̷͈̌o̷͇͘r _̶̱̍_̴ ͉̆̈́M̷͔̤͒Ą̷̍C̴̼̕ͅH̶̹͕̼̾Ḭ̵̇̾̓N̵̺͕͒̀̍Ä̴̞̰́_̴̦̀͆̓_̷̣̈́ . . . It's grey - now green! We got the channel back!

Thank you for following us through this April Fool's adventure and for following this channel in it's starting phase! 💚 May our team work stay strong and bring us many more exciting events to come 💚
