- Yes

- We've probably lied to them too.

- That they would have been stopped if something so widespread and blatant was actually against the rules.

- My people in this tell me that they get their info from others

- While theyre admins in this

- worst thing

- Lying to the other faction is something we all do

- This is how I participated in a UIGEA violation back in the day.

- THAT is why i’m so against this on a personal level, betrayed trust.

- They have devs in chat ffs

- “I’m at work”
/farms keys

- Is like Joe Philley talking about how cool drones are

- Isn’t ours built on liver stretching and cats?

- That doesn't make this violation okay in my book. But recognize that it's a matter of degrees

- "These companies are advertising on Network Television, their workaround has to be kosher and not money laundering."

- im trying to make sense, which is more restricted access, radar, riot, or bot

- I'm getting so grr about this. I think I need to step away

- Exactly.

- Theres a degree on what is lying for opsec reasons and what is lying for things like this

- Worded poorly but you get what I mean

- The devs in chats insulates everyone else.

- I agree. They may not. Be prepared for a lack of shame

- Clearly this is OK, because otherwise the adults would have made us stop.

- Yeah. It definitely feels like old ingress... Res play on easy mode, Enl play on nightmare mode

- ....but aren't you the adults?

- I’m going anon with this to see how my res react toorrlw

- Some of us play nightmare.

- I play fixed zoom in the boonies mode

- Lol

- People have a way of self-deluding on this subject.

- Can I just say how inordinately proud it makes me that I picked green and not blue? Like, they just cheat their way through and constantly harangue us in comms and social media for being cheaters ourselves... It's so gross from the outside, and now I can see how gross it is on the inside... I know there are bad actors who wear green too, I'm not naive, and I try to consider everyone as an ingresser not matter the color but this feels... Fundamental to the differences in our factions.

- Everyone who plays this game for pink slips knows that if you fuck up, you're going to get smeared.

- They're about to get smeared at an insitutional level. It's fine. Keep it professional.

- Where do I see the new names list?

- check pin

- I did. Were the new names simply added to the existing list?

- yes

- also in the riot tab

- Yes, incorporated into the master.

- ...ok. I'll recheck it in a bit

- ok time to attack this website with a monocle and a whisk

- what copy still needs written?

- ready to take a crack at a page

- roster doesnt include riot

- its about to

- I need RADAR

- And riot.one

- Would like to a simple statement to head the right side column when I'm first looking at the page.

"Riot is..." etc.
Then the screenshot

- I know this is nitpicky AF but I hate mixing serif and sans serif fonts

- This is a big one

- Ok. I'll start with RADAR. and then move to Riot if no one else has taken it when I'm done. I

- Lead statement language change recommendation:

"
RIOT is a database application that aggregates information scraped from intel.ingress.com and agent scanner data and makes it available for agents to search."

- the differences are subtle but important. Databases don't aggregate things, applications do. The scanner implications are important.

- It reads like

"WHAM"

//screenshot

*tos in case you forgot*

- [[GIF, size 76'206 bytes]]

- Right, because we got the scanner stuff after writing the first draft.

- so where does the TOS definition go?

- my recommendation would be:

lead statement
screenshot
TOS stuff

- a pop up

- kidding

- Use frames and have it ALWAYS THERE at the top

- I'm going to be a total pain in the ass for a while. Please forgive me. Nudgy language recommendations coming, please take them or leave them.

- I tried that and it weakens the flow

- Weak flow sounds like a side effect of certain medicines and something that may be worth a doctor visit

- (sorry)

- ok, refresh and look again

- you are so close to a your mom joke

- People really don't know what scraping is

- Recommend changing:

"Access and maintenance of the RIOT database occurs in a Slack team called The Brokers Guild. Using this Slack, authorized Resistance agents can find in seconds:"

to

"Access to and maintenance of the RIOT database is centralized wihin a Slack team called The Brokers Guild. Using this slack and associated automation tools, authorized agents can find in seconds:"

Notes:

- 'centralized within' versus 'occurs' nods to the distributed nature of the system
- removing 'Resistance' makes the website more neutral
- And associated automation tools nods to the distribution network (there is more than one devil)

- centralized *within

- lol

- took out associated

- I don't think they realize how much data can be scraped, even if they have some idea of what scraping is. RIOT is intimidatingly ridiculous

- refresh

- Prelude to TOS text, in bold:

"The technique of harvesting data in this fashion is called scraping. This is a violation of the Niantic Terms of Service.

<tos text goes here>

- One of my best friends/ local frog got invited to an ENL guardian hunting slack by some people she knows in NJ .... She isn't into that sort of thing, so she doesn't know much else about it. Unsurprised but still sad face :/

- In nj's defense I don't think anyone I know in NJ claims friendship with those guys

- done

- the search fuction is fantastic, but needs to work better

- this may be really hard to implement within wordpress

- free wordpress

- but god the idea is so good

- there are a ton of better search plugins

- all we need is simple javascript

- like super simple javascript

- that require like $8 a month professional upgrade

- I can write this.

- it would take a couple of hours. I'm out of practice

- Good to know. I just hate hearing proof it exists even though we know it does, ya know?

- putting that on my to do list

- Yes, me too

- can we make the font size on the roster table about... oh, 65% of what it is currently?

- and center the text in all the 'yes' columns?

- theyre all left justified

- back to the main page. This part:

"– all the portals belonging to a specified agent, including capture dates

– the longest-held portals for a given region

– heatmaps of agents’ activity, including home portals and frequently visited portals

– agents’ Ingress start dates"

should be formatted as an unordered list.

like:

<ul>
<li>thing</li>
<li>thing</li>
&c...
</ul>

- Yes please

- for each of the things I say, just take it or leave it. I know I'm being nitpicky AF, I just can't help it

- Bullet points would be pretty

- I can do bullet points

- The list of people on front page isnt updated with the RIOT members
