Does anyone on here play Ingress?

[hipsterdoofus]

Was just curious if there were any (or many) on here who play the Android and now IOS game Ingress. It seems to me that it would appear to the crowd on this board as it involves a lot of walking around the city and learning about various memorials, monuments, pieces of art, etc. I know that Sid played before he moved but was curious if any others on here do.

I've seen the preview for it but didn't quite know exactly what it was about.

[David]

I played it just a little back when it first came out, but haven't launched it since. I suppose I should look it back up considering the walking around downtown I've been doing recently.

[silvergrove]

I play it on and off. Always wondered if anyone here played it myself.

[OKCisOK4me]

I just downloaded it but I'm at work and can't really go 450m right now to hack a portal...

[hipsterdoofus]

Agent name is Jiffy. I'll be in town in a few weeks. You'll see me in the comm.

Sid, one of my coworkers went to San Francisco awhile back and saw a portal with your name on it. Small World. I like going and playing downtown when there are events going on. Lots of portals in the Myriad Gardens area. Hope to see some of you others around. Just make sure you join resistance. You don't want to be a frog like Sid.

[hipsterdoofus]

Those who give it much thought will join the Enlightened. Those who follow anonymous internet posters will probably join the Resistance. :-)

Yeah, I get around a bit. Mostly don't have time to play just since my trips are so short usually. But it's a good way to kill time at the airport. :-)

I'm heading to the Zoo tomorrow, its a great place to play.

If you live or work or frequently recreate downtown and decide to play Ingress, you will be incredibly bored as a resistance player. The blues dominate downtown and there are very few of us greens, especially since Sid left and others stopped playing. If you want a challenge, go green. If group think and safety in numbers are your thing, well, then you've already made your choice. See you on the battlefield.

Submit new portals.

Working on it. Have had 51 accepted and another 167 submissions are pending. I want gold seer.

Is it safe to say by the comm activity that you're agent clizby?

It's important to note that if you're new, and chose poorly, regarding your faction (e.g. blue), there's a process called "faction change" that you can partake in. Better to do it while you're low-level so you don't have as far to go when starting over with your points. We're always looking for good people on team ENL. :-)

To be fair, that may be the case now but was not when I started playing. Additionally, I think that green dominates our section map in the game too, so if you look at it from that scale, resistance could be a challenge too. All depends on how you choose to play and where...

I don't know how that works. Gimme the low down.

I chose the enlightened because I can see the energies being used in a good way probably cause I'm a new ager. I just used my first name last name letter for my agent name..totally wasn't creative, lol.

Sweet, we'll have to meet up for some training. PM me your gmail.

Just messaged you in faction comm. Let's get you spun up.

[Urbanized]

Wtf

[shawnw]

Bricktown is flush with portals, Chad. We're all around you, playing, and you're none the wiser. But given your location you'd make an excellent Enlightened agent, should you feel inclined to check it out in the future. :-)



(for background it's a geolocation-based augmented-reality game, requiring one to interact with the actual world in order to play, rather than sit on the couch)

[Urbanized]

Are you people talking Chinese?

[shawnw]

You should hear how we really talk amongst other players...

[Urbanized]

Nerdese?

[Midtowner]

I installed it since I'm downtown quite a bit. Don't really understand what is happening yet though.

[shawnw]

Hopefully you're green. If so, PM me your gmail and we'll get you trained. If not...

[CuatrodeMayo]

Wtf

LOL. That's what I said reading this thread.

I am intrigued now. I might have to check this out. Too bad I'm not in OKC.

[shawnw]

Sid is in Seattle with you and is part of the OKC old guard (one of the original players in all of OKC) so you are in good hands! He is englightened/green, of course. So, choose wisely.
