- It doesn't fit with the vibe of the rest of the site content, but there's room for a narrative section describing the interview with WB, punctuated by pull quotes

- heh, to match theirs

- thaaat's the one

- It does the weird search results on mobile as well, btw

- Semi, we are going to have a full operational battle station tonight

- this is not to be underestimated. Every single ENL agent who reads this thing is going to have that same visceral reaction to a different antagonist. Those feels will drive the real narrative.

- Tomorrow 9a might be better

- we made a promise to RSC. I'm powerfully disinclined to break it.

- Ok.

- but we will be ready at 1 PM on the dot

- RSC doesn't seem to care

- doesn't matter. We undermine the good faith we sacrificed to build if we don't stand by the commitment we made.

- Noon is 9a Pacific though.

- 1 PM eastern is the time.

- that's 24 hours from notice.

- Message him, tell him the situation forced our hand. He doesn't actually care, notice is preserved

- Impact increased.

- But I'll go with what you think.

- one of the side goals here is trying to build relationships with Krug

- That's valuable.

- Meh, he only has so much power

- It aligns with our goal.

- Hanke is going to read this site and not know what the fuck to do

- lol we can't change that, that's just Hanke

- We're going to stand by our commitment unless someone provides a really, really compelling reason to do otherwise.

- Just noting from the new screenshots she just posted, whistle-blower is not EST

- I think they’re central.

- Or EDT or whatever time zone I'm in lol

- Cdt, Android, been in the game for 3 years

- And on that list

- It'd be great to see another hunt come to completion before the release tomorrow.

- It looks like ones happening right now

- Incoming

- We should watch that portal.

- Yep - that's what I mean

- How are you guys seeing this?

- Isn't Terran1701 a current POC?

- In the chat with WB - she’s posting another hit happening.

- silverspatula is Tacoma, WA.

- Ohhhhh. Thanks. Are you all anonymous in there?

- Nope.

- No we chose to expose ourselves to WB.

- Banned for spoofing during global shards. Silverspatula is their new IGN.

- I was wrong

- TheShadows, PurpleJules and JulianDelphiki

- POCs for Houston

- Dreadpiratecat is a local

- Ah!

- Terran was res POC at KC.

- Are we including any description of how we came across this information (i.e. a mole), or not addressing that at all, so they are left to wonder?

- Mole or infiltration?

- I vote leave to wonder.

- But semi has said he wants to tell WB story

- So tbd

- The quotes will probably make it clear there's a specific individual involved, but they really ARE powerful. I think they'll add some humanity without taking away from a dispassionate tone.

- Sounds like a contrast to the "just the data" tone we are trying to keep otherwise

- imo, wb isn't the story

- making WB into the story is also probably a mistake.

- all emails sent

- starting to make changes based on ntoes

- not addressing

- I think the impact of the WB stuff is more powerful than making them wonder. Also, I think forcing them to go on the witch hunt is good fun.

- But I'm still up in the air about how to introduce the WB quotes, because it really doesn't fit with the site

- I'm tempted to just write it up as my own g+ post, but that needs an awful lot of thinking.

- Could be useful to keep the story going?

- oh interesting

- last gasp in a long story. hm.

- If be more in favor of a delayed post about WB

- Along with a message to others to do the same

- There are a bunch of people deep in shit like this. They get disaffected a quit.

- ok. time to think about it. No WB pullquotes in website seems right.

- We could get them to dish

- we got good results from the slow roll on recharge, that was a good message in the early discussion on this

- Keeping the website more data-focused feels right

- I'm leaning toward a late news cycle g+ post with the WB stuff.

- It will be less strong because I can't inline the images, but whatever

- or maybe something different. hm.

- [[Webpage]]reminded of this: https://xkcd.com/1732/

- we could use the page to host the story

- just not off the bat

- hell, I can spin a second wordpress for just the story

- with throwaway owner

- give you admin rights to it

- plenty of time to think about it

- Could get ieung or something similar to "interview" you about your experience with WB once this is a big enough story

- ok, caught up on notes

- moving to new content

- That Brings me back around to it. Should I be poking at kotaku to see if they would be interested in a column about this?

- I like anything that gets the story outside of ingress-only territory

- But maybe after it goes live?

- kotaku story makes me worry about armageddon

- Not now?

- I was gonna ask about timing

- If I'm them, this is a story worth posting about, if not just for the popcorn, but cause of how it probably is just as pervasive in the moneymaker.

- its unabashed in pogo

- do you have an in?

- everyone is using scrape powered bots

- especially during the events

- ok, new content, @deafone anyone else get a chance to mess with it? I think im starting on raid.one

- I can't guarantee anything other than what any other person submitting a story would get, no.
