- Ahhh

- Yeah

- I would, yes

- With the amount of KC res I saw on there, it's a fair bet POCs are there

- Ah, gotcha.

- No, it's based on something I said about making a list of enl to preinform. Anomaly POCs being one example of enl who would appreciate knowing early.

- Help me understand why

- Ok. I understand.

- how they can be prepared to respond?

- Agreed

- If we want to do that, the easy answer is to take the 98% shortcut and post to Enlightened Global Support.

- People in this game want to be in the know. The more in the know they are the more they feel this way. When they aren't in the know, they react badly.

- Free up time. Remember I think it’s a bad idea to tell them ahead of time anyway.

- They miss adding some of the anomaly POCs, but it's a reasonable group.

- This is true for people who aren't anomaly PoCs as well.

- I would not prewarn any additional ENL without a compelling reason

- Er, by which I mean, reasonable attempt at hitting all the people who get particular about being important.

- I wasn't being exclusive to anomaly POCs

- and wherever you draw the line, someone's going to be upset that they weren't in the know.

- Do you mean all anomoly pocs, or just the ones coming up in November December?

- This. The more who know, the shorter our time is before it blows

- I guess I don't see much advantage to be gained by pre-notifying anyone else.

- No pre notification. I wouldn't be upset if I weren't in here and people who do get upset are egotistical babies.

- I think if that happens it happens in the public release, not before.

- That'd be my call.

- Sure.

- The core problem with EGS is that there's nothing special about anomaly POCs.

- This isn't an anomaly-specific issue

- It's not even an anomaly-related issue

- Ok, let's stop framing this around anomaly POCs.

- also, the more people you do notify, the higher the chances that someone decides to do something with the information without consensus.

- When this goes live, we will all take it to the places it needs to be quickly.

- Yes.

- Yes

- Yes.

- SCANNER BOT

- oh that's good

- wow

- [[Photo]]

- With a side of geofencing, yay

- Shitheads.

- They braaag about how they stop our fields here

- Is it clear that that's coming from RIOT and not another tool being copy-pasted in?

- Which they don't do all that well

- Wow. F**king creepy.

- I don't understand what this hex key is

- Is it a unique id tied to that specific ENL agent?

- Probably to s Google account.

- How they track fc

- I assume so, but I don't know what it's used for

- Cute, lots of PNW RES in this dump

- We should be careful publishing that screenshot as if they have any sense they’ll be able to track who looked that up and know the leaker.

- Of course if WB is going scorched earth and doesn’t care that is different.

- My guess would be for internal (RIOT) referencing, and/or external referencing.

- This

- πŸ‘

- It's a screenshot that jaralel requested

- It was in the channel

- Should be safe to distro

- That ss is posted in the channel, yeah, not looked up by WB

- Ah ok.

- This represents such a substantial advantage to their team it's ridiculous. It's possible some enl will be very discouraged by this.

- Some ENL will do what people always do and try to make their own

- e.g. "STRIKE is going to be the ENL RESWUE, we need to level the playing field"

- πŸ‘Ž

- In some areas where ENL win in spite of it there will be positive feelings too.

- It's directly proportional to how much effort you put in. Time and effort from competent people trump drones with prompts every time.

- ok, I've compiled and reorganized the most recent RIOT dump, here's the link:

- It's helpful to remember how many global wins we've racked up in the last two years.

- Guardian hunting is increasingly the only game RES can still feel they're winning.

- I'm still anticipating a high level of "fuck this game" especially when Krug says he can't stop them.

- The question I can't stop asking is how RES manages to fail so badly across the board with tools like this at their disposal.

- lol true

- I think this is one of the core reasons that ENL is more successful. There is more of a sense of involvement, wanting to work with others, as opposed to secrets, and playing for yourself.

- or, if you prefer, how we manage to win so consistently without these same tools being this ingrained into our culture.

- I try my best to avoid making sweeping statements about how either faction functions, but there are some interesting differences.

- So this. i have been thinking it all morning.

- Yeah, I didn't mean for it to come across as a generalization across the board, I should rephrase.

- Like, we were beating them a year ago using portal summary, drawtools, and glympse when they had reswue and this

- I've been thinking it since Obsidian.
;-)

- These aren't anomaly tools.

- heh

- I mean in my cell.

- Aren't they?

- [[Webpage]]I'm a work and a bit behind on the chatter today, but I wanted to share this..... TheBobs is on this list, as I knew he would be, and here is some info on him and his scraping from awhile back. He's a Charlotte player. https://www.reddit.com/r/Ingress/comments/4lwm62/advice_with_dealing_with_out_of_control_local/

- A bunch of the functions have no use in anomaly contexts

- But virus data maybe

- Indeed. Most of us here in State College scored the black Guardian sooner or later.

- Let's not assume things that aren't in the data

- πŸ‘

- Chatter for specific res

- Another player eventually got the scripts from this poster and led to the IP address being TheBobs work computer. Said computer also contained health insurance info and was a potential for major HIPPA violations. All of this was reported to Niantic at the time. No ban, no nothing.

- Yes ma'am.

- @Semiotiq, just thought of something, seems pretty important. Right before we put things out there we ought to ensure we inspect the files themselves, removing any useful metadata.

- Even the filenames ought to be changed. 01.png, 02.png, etc.

- πŸ‘

- Wow, just sat down and started looking at the riot docs - it couldn't be more obvious they come right out and say it.
