I started playing Google's ARG phone game, Ingress late last year. If you aren't familiar with it, you use your phone's GPS to walk around and interact with virtual objects that are overlayed on a map around your location. There are two factions (Enlightened and Resistance) fighting to control the objects (portals) which are typically found on landmarks, public parks, famous buildings, etc. You level up through performing almost any interactions in the game, the only requirement is that there are portals near you. Even if there aren't any in your area, you can submit your own, but there's currently quite a big queue of submissions so they take a while.

A map of the game world in Utrecht. So much green T.T


It's pretty fun, it's a great way to get out of the house and play a game at the same time, and a good way to meet new people. It used to be invite only but it's now available without an invite on both iPhone and Android.

Because TL's logo is blue I naturally joined the Resistance. I just reached Level 8 today (maximum level requirement for some items) so I'm excited to see what's in store now that I'm part of the "big boys" club . I try to keep the territory around TLHQ nice and blue, it's pretty active here in the Netherlands with things switching sides quite often.

If you're interested in playing I can also send you an invite link, they recently added an achievement category for invites so this will help me in the game . Just PM me your email if you'd like one.

Any other players here on TL?

Haha yeah, I've definitely noticed my battery drains quickly while playing since the screen and GPS are on a lot of the time. I have an external battery pack that I'm sure I'll need to use at some point once I get more into it!

I tried this when I got an invite from my friend. I lived in a small town and while the portals and landmarks existed, there was probably only about 5 or so people who played and it quickly died. Now I spend a lot of time in a tourist trap so maybe I can kill some time

HA!!! so those are your true intentions! haha.

I played ingress a while ago, but i didn't really get it. I never really understood the "story", since even when it was invite only, it seemed to have progressed very far so i didn't know what was really happening, so i just did a few missions, and then uninstalled. I'm still on some g+ and facebook communities about the game though, maybe i'll check it out again, any tips?

A15 Resistance from Ontario Canada reporting in... awesome game. Anomalies are great to participate in and I've met some pretty awesome people during my play time. Being a part of massive field operations is an absolute blast.

Also... battery packs are almost essential if you enjoy playing a lot .

Tank, you should get it and join the resistance!

R1ch, congrats on hitting level 8. Now is when things start getting more fun. The medal grind is real.

Glad you're having fun with it! Around my area, the roving Ingress bands make it much less enjoyable. It's impossible to maintain local walking distance routes because there are multiple groups of people who spend hours every night driving around the area clearing faction spots. I don't love the game enough to waste time and gas in a caravan with strangers.

Team LiquidUnderneath it all they were really quite nice. They just got screwed up. Mostly by stuff that wasn't entirely their fault.

I joined it a few years ago when it was just "stand next to existing node and press buttons". However, I live in an area where not much was going on and I seemed to join the side that already had total dominance over the area, so levelling up was slow.

Then my phone's GPS decided not to work properly and that was it.
I will reduce you to a series of numbers.
