Ingress
So for anyone that has been lucky enough to get their hands on an invite for this will know what this is, for those who do not I will give a brief summary.
Ingress is a Augmented Reality MMO Game Made by Google for Android devices that takes part in an overall ARG based around the mysterious Niantic Project. The story is hand by hand connected to the game as the purpose of the game is to "find, control and link portals" for your faction. Portals are areas that exist that have a significance on the overall area of city/town and so on. They will be statues, buildings, and other various areas that can be controlled by "Hacking and Placing Resonators" on them. You have to do this for every portal and only when you are actually AT said portal. This means you will have to be moving around a lot to get to these portals and maintaining them in health and in case the opposing faction tries to steal them from you. If you are lucky/fortunate enough to get enough portals you can start linking them and make control fields.
All while this is going on the story half is updated every day filling us in on more of the purpose of everything and how far it goes. Its very interesting and quite fun to get into if you are one for conspiracies.
More information and where to apply for invites can be found here:

I am already one myself, however for reasons I keep to myself I will not reveal my faction identity. I know there are some on here who would get a kick out of this so maybe if others are just as lucky enough to get an invite we can talk about it fully here!
Let's Begin.

Re: Ingress
I haven't received my code yet, but I'm pretty sure noone in my city knows about this game as of now, so I might be the first in controlling my area

Re: Ingress
I got a code, but I can't do much, my tablet only has wi-fi. I try to help with the intel.
EDIT: Just for fun, in the ARG, who you think is leaking the info for PAC?

Me or Gil could tell you since we have the global intel map showing all available portals an if they are captured or not.OnyxIonVortex wrote:I haven't received my code yet, but I'm pretty sure noone in my city knows about this game as of now, so I might be the first in controlling my area
I am sure a future update will add full tablet support.gil2455526 wrote:I got a code, but I can't do much, my tablet only has wi-fi. I try to help with the intel.

Also, I think it could be Jarvis, or perhaps Niantic themselves as a means to gather recruits.
