Drunk Cate is pretty entertaining!

Duh

This. I thought Pitch Perfect 2

Yep

I was right?

Yup

Gtfts

Ha! I've not seen it. Just the first thing that came to mind for an acronym

So, is a Little Free Library in a residential neighborhood a good portal candidate? #random #sorry

Sure. Public and library and a gathering place lol but res will down vote it if you're in any digests

Ok, that’s what I thought. They’ve been pooping on most of ours it seems. Particularly those in mostly ENL areas.

I wanna have a build day in the shop; make 4 or 5 for several of us. It helps the kids, too 😊

@Semiotiq fix your reshare. John Hanson doesn't care about Ingress

Charlie should be sleeping

He does Amber, he just doesn't know yet.

Lol

Don't blame me if they get denied tho. It's definitely worth a shot

If he's not going to sleep he should be useful

And face it, he's not going to sleep

I'm watching PItch Perfect 2, drinking, and becoming sleep. STFU

Had to Google

Good night, @Semiotiq . Good work. Sleep well. I'll most likely kill you in the morning.

[[Webpage]]Just found this post both factions want tees. https://plus.google.com/+JordanGoodwinVickVega82/posts/YaTaPt3hLhG

Never 💚. Some ENL 70 miles away said public spaces Good, residential bad. I rate TGR opinions higher. I’m going to roll the dice I think.

we're just in the first of what will probably three or four breathers.

#JustTellMeTheRules

Yup

so much work left to do. And it's not clear what the next step is

After 18hrs Finally leaving work and I can then actually start catching up with posts, this will an interesting ride

Krug is back on Monday. Probably not going to get a Niantic response on Monday.

Tuesday or Weds., probably.

What do we want that response to be?

You didn't know go the fuck to sleep?!

I imagine more res will be speaking out about things tomorrow.

If you get a Niantic response I will be dumbfounded

Shade as well as support.

Oh that was easy ..And for his next trick Charlie proved black is white and got us all killed at the next zebra crossing

I usually don't make it into an acronym.

We will need to catch both.

Catch?

I want to put one in front of my grandparents' house. They'd have thought having one was cool. My sister lives there now and she's on board as long as it can look like a TARDIS

But it's maybe a good idea to think about the outcomes we'd like to see from this.

Once it's made, I'm totally submitting it

RES seem to be circling on this notion of 'We used it to catch spoofers', which is fine. It's absurdly easy to counter, if we decide that's what we want to do.

respond to as appropriate

Some sort of action against the agents in that slack would be nice but it's doubtful. Hell, even having Niantic acknowledge it would be good

I want a permanent change to guardian dynamics that completely eliminates that mode of gameplay in a way DEEPLY DISSATISFYING to those people for whom it is a primary motivation.

Bans would be a helpful signal from Niantic as to their position on the matter, for sure

.... Becoming sleep

We need to have this not turn into a thing about the technicalities of whether specific individual accounts on that spreadsheet are bannable

Been thinking about that all night, and that's my personal microcrusade. It's easy to target and process, I think.


But we could have multiple goals here.

IDK, gif fail

Wish i would have had the time to do more. Everyone working here was incredible, is take this ride again . Maybe after a little sleep

I'm happy with clear guidelines

Tell me what's legit and what's not

agree

I dig that everyone has different lines on both sides

❤️

And even within a faction

We absolutely do have multiple goals. That's fine by me 😊

I just want some consistent rules. 😂

@Crewellye there's so much to catch up on. Shaperspeed, agent

I think that's still formative.

Crazy thought...spin it to impact recharge as well as guardian. Probably not doable but it's there

No better time to push it, IMO.

we'd take a beating on that

yeah. I mean, we need to be thinking about next things now, which is why I'm still awake.

Yessss! There’s one down in South MS. It got axed b/c it’s too close to the existing library portal. That would be a sweet project.

Recharge is solidly on ice until q1

so I've got one: Permanently destroy guardian gameplay as we know it.


I like this because it's going to make a bunch of bullies quit, and that fills me with joy.

It is known ☹️

So much this. People knowing that there is a Nia employee on that list and no public acknowledgement from Niantic is like they're saying it's ok.

Bans: my instinct is to say that we cannot explicitly push for this.

API: maybe

I'd be OK if they said it was OK.

Like just tell me the rules.

We have to steer away from this, I think

I just think they ought to remove the whole damn stat from the game. Stat line gone. Badges gone.

And not say a thing about it

yes

I know. My brain is on the POCs on the list and how they were so against it. It's not something to combine

Every time something similar has come up, it gets bogged down in the minutiae of particular ban cases

They can call it "minor text fixes"in the patch notes 😂

I want to achieve permanent culture change.


The current culture is "It's implicitly ok to cheat because Niantic never does anything about it."

I'd be okay with no bans if we get a substantial change

Yeah, what Semi just said

Thing is, it won't stop the use of the program for other purposes.

Yes. I think we have to concede that we can't do anything about scraping as a fielding tool.

I just don't see a way to attack it.

Don't they have a way to prevent scrapping altogether or am I too hopeful?

So.


Culture change, as manifested in the elimination of GH culture via code changes.

and...? what

what else can we angle for?

What if they said nothing is cheating anymore and we can do anything we are technically advanced enough to do in the play of Ingress? That would be interesting.

Too hopeful. Tech always finds a way

Heh my 143 day in NC took an ultra strike during all this. Still there less shield, imagine that. The culture has not changed just yet

We change the motivation

Scraping is never going to go away. We can take a huge bite out of its current value by eliminating the aspect of gameplay at which its primarily aimed.
