So, hey again. :)

I remembered this post from yesteryear, and here I am, on vacation with a bunch of family, including my Uncle, who was the final straw that broke my camelbak. He let slip that he was taking his Kia Rio (why, Doug?) rental around OBX to "hack portals". I said "Ingress?", and he stared down at his shoes and sheepishly answered "yuh". 24 hours ago, I downloaded the app, and we've been tag teaming shit around town (I n00b h4x'd the Wright Bros. museum and monuments earlier today).

He's "enlightened", so I decided to be green alongside him. Cool coincidence that you're the same, and so's a coworker of mine whom I hadn't previously asked about their Ingress allegiance, though I knew they played. So literally everyone that I know who plays Ingress is in my/our faction.

FYI, here's the global spread right now:

Apparently, resistance has made some type of incredibly well-orchestrated network dominance incorporating most of Europe. I'm not imploring you to care, I just think it's interesting that the score is skewed towards blue by an order of magnitude. At least for now.

Most importantly, I though I'd drop by this thread to point out something terribly interesting. You've got these two factions warring against each other, and in tech-savvy cities like LA (and Seattle, sorry bro) it's pretty unforgiving. My uncle tells me that the message communicated from Google via "glyphs" to the users, by way of exotic matter or aliens or whatever (I don't know yet!?), is anti-war and supportive of global peace. How ironic is it that they've created a militant user base dedicated to waging digital war against our fellow man?
