Wondering about a couple other POCs.

It is really interesting (not surprising) to see the names of everyone that has been responsible for dropping one of my guardians since I started playing the game in the list.
MA
matt - deaf1 - maine
They're probably in riot
CH
Charlie Arnold
sorry! doing thing!
SP

MA
matt - deaf1 - maine
I can't wait until this is out
Gonna share directly to the folks
CQ
CQ πŸ›πŸ‘‘ Sarah
Yeah I know some Mainers who would relish rubbing this in some other Mainers faces. What a shit show this will be...
SP
Space TooFar - Rochester NY
JE
Jemstar (15/~PIT πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ)
Some of these folks are on the list more than once. I assume that's due to logging on and off while WB was screenshotting...
ER
Erich Bacher (@thePrevaricator WI, US)
Probably
ok, transcription of members is done
JE
Jemstar (15/~PIT πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ)
Once it's all in the sheet, sort ign column by name?
ER
Erich Bacher (@thePrevaricator WI, US)
will sort by name and eliminate duplucates
AN
Aneristic (PHL)
Wait, was roguehellfyre a poc for persepolis? Or just 13MR?
CH
Charlie Arnold
yes, good. Let's limit sorting, filtering, deleting and adding to Erich and Jillian
JE
Jemstar (15/~PIT πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ)
This is moving so fast I can't keep up, and of course my kid is needy af tonight
CH
Charlie Arnold
to avoid collisions
Let's stay cognizant of possible username/slackname mismatches
AN
Aneristic (PHL)
I'm relieved there's no one on the list I thought was ENL.
ER
Erich Bacher (@thePrevaricator WI, US)
ok, auto highlighting duplicates
AM
Amber Yeary
Are we adding people we know to the sheet or mentioning in here for Jillian and Erich to add?
ER
Erich Bacher (@thePrevaricator WI, US)
notate sheet
as needed
CH
Charlie Arnold
If you see an entry on the sheet, you can modify AO and notes
just don't add or delete rows, or filter or sort the data
CQ
CQ πŸ›πŸ‘‘ Sarah
Yes but they probably have to use their in-game username and the bot probably needs that name to match real life... Maybe? I could be assuming too much.
MA
Mantispidae - west tn
Do we expect congruence between this list and the omnivore list or will there be omnivore members that are not bot members?
AN
Aneristic (PHL)
I'll type up omnivore in another tab?
ER
Erich Bacher (@thePrevaricator WI, US)
duplicates deleted
this data has been curated
AN
Aneristic (PHL)
πŸ‘πŸ‘
ST
Strandit (Seattle, WA, USA)
Yeah, Omnivore is a different data set
OL
ollie (@ollietronic)
Sorry just 13MR
MA
Mantispidae - west tn
NP. There is one name I saw in omnivore that I don't see in bot and I know he is a big player close enough to where I am
AN
Aneristic (PHL)
yeah if we get it in the sheet we can check them against each other easily
ER
Erich Bacher (@thePrevaricator WI, US)
my res is in it
CA
Cate [Intoku, WA, πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ]
It seems so. Lots of awkward i's instead of l's among my local smurfs, reflecting actual igns
ER
Erich Bacher (@thePrevaricator WI, US)
my good res and my bad res
CA
Cate [Intoku, WA, πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ]
Sorry, Erich
AN
Aneristic (PHL)
Mine too.
PO
Pongolyn | Seattle, WA
She was POC for a DC anomaly before she moved out here
AN
Aneristic (PHL)
I do not want to be involved in the release of this thing, I want to be free to respond without it publicly being my fault.
But I'm gonna type up the next tab now. πŸ˜„
CH
Charlie Arnold
Three Pittsburgh RES.
ER
Erich Bacher (@thePrevaricator WI, US)
now the both siderism makes even more sense.
CQ
CQ πŸ›πŸ‘‘ Sarah
Mine three
ER
Erich Bacher (@thePrevaricator WI, US)
it was self defense
CA
Cate [Intoku, WA, πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ]
How so?
PO
Pongolyn | Seattle, WA
What was?
CQ
CQ πŸ›πŸ‘‘ Sarah
Covering for team mates
ER
Erich Bacher (@thePrevaricator WI, US)
telling me that both sides had basically the same cheating ability.
Covering for herself
CQ
CQ πŸ›πŸ‘‘ Sarah
Or oneself yeah
ER
Erich Bacher (@thePrevaricator WI, US)
i dont think she hunts
but she is in and knows
JE
Jemstar (15/~PIT πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ)
rollind20 (421) rings a bell but I don't know why. Local to someone in Aurora maybe?
CQ
CQ πŸ›πŸ‘‘ Sarah
Yeah, my "good one" is actively looking shit up in some of those screen grabs
PO
Pongolyn | Seattle, WA
Hence my previous comment that many of the people involved in this probably don't see themselves as cheaters.
CA
Cate [Intoku, WA, πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ]
I'm sorry, Erich. Folks will get defensive when this goes down
ST
Strandit (Seattle, WA, USA)
There is another Niantic-adjacent person in Omnivore.
ER
Erich Bacher (@thePrevaricator WI, US)
Oh, I know.
This is going to get serious.
PO
Pongolyn | Seattle, WA
Like, this is prooobably considered legit as IITC to them. And that will come up.
ER
Erich Bacher (@thePrevaricator WI, US)
im sure it will
fucking zamboorak
i didnt spam before so I get one
CH
Charlie Arnold
when it does, the correct response is:


//screenshot
"you were in this channel when this person requested this information. What did you think was happening?"
CA
Cate [Intoku, WA, πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ]
Yeah. The hardest-to-fathom part will be the folks who don't get defensive. Because they believe they did nothing wrong
PO
Pongolyn | Seattle, WA
The question you need to be able to answer is why this is cheating
ST
Strandit (Seattle, WA, USA)
There is enough Niantic involvement in this to make it worth thinking again about release strategy.
CH
Charlie Arnold
we have a shitload of thinking to do.
ER
Erich Bacher (@thePrevaricator WI, US)
Agreed.
PO
Pongolyn | Seattle, WA
ER
Erich Bacher (@thePrevaricator WI, US)
Like, this will be so big that ppl on our team will want to have known when it goes
CH
Charlie Arnold
This is a different order of magnitude than Russell.


That was one of the spinoff bots. This is the core.
ST
Strandit (Seattle, WA, USA)
This is not the worst thing ever to hit an online gaming company, cheating wise, but it is up there
And I am not saying these people deserve it or it
OL
ollie (@ollietronic)
so Krug AMA, huh?
MA
matt - deaf1 - maine
I refer you to line #545. Vidicon, POC for DC anomlay.
ST
Strandit (Seattle, WA, USA)
But releasing this is going to be about people’s jobs.
CH
Charlie Arnold
lol no.
make sure to note that please
ST
Strandit (Seattle, WA, USA)
And leaking it outside this group the same.
OL
ollie (@ollietronic)
Bummer. Maybe that's what it takes to get Niantic to fucking do something.
MA
matt - deaf1 - maine
547 now
CH
Charlie Arnold
I'm guessing we have a week, tops.
ST
Strandit (Seattle, WA, USA)
I’m not saying don’t do it. I’m saying know the consequences.
OL
ollie (@ollietronic)
ER
Erich Bacher (@thePrevaricator WI, US)
I would consider warning those ppl
Whose jobs are on the line potentially
ST
Strandit (Seattle, WA, USA)
I would not.
OL
ollie (@ollietronic)
CH
Charlie Arnold
This is what I was thinking about earlier when I said we should release simultaneously. This is not a one-person-in-the-line-of-fire deal.
MA
matt - deaf1 - maine
Is it ironic that the Nia Dev's name is SlackFarmer?
