X-mas is over!

Christmas is over and mummy wants you to know that the porridge is done (and eaten).

It's time to open the foderlucka again.



Stay tuned for our Top-10 ENLGBG COMM Insults competition!

That feeling

That feeling when you forget to logout from your second account before flipping a portal.

People who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones

x-fac meet tonight!

See you at 18.00 at Ölrepubliken tonight!

For one night
we unite
green and blue
together as one crew
No one will be offended
Because we have all blended
Everyone are friends
Because we've made amends
This night, no guardians will be killed
and much beer will be spilled

x-fac love*

* Except for spoofers. You know who you are.

The LIGA

After months of developing a few of our ENL agents has finally come up with a league system almost as good as what RES has been running for years.

Most of you local agents are already on board but we would need a few more agents on our team!

Join Team ENLGBG at https://liga.erleuchte.de/

GO ENL(GBG)!!!

ps The blog needs to get in touch with someone with access to enl.wtf. Please contact us at enlgbg@gmail.com by email or hangout.

English translation:
interesting that you only win a CP by making large fields. Otherwise you lose.

Clarification

Our old post Surveillance revealed has been updated. We are hopeful that this will shed some light on our previous post last month.

In other news, we are proud to report that the blog is now in contact with Niantic regarding the upcoming Mission Day! Dates and more information will be posted shortly.

MISSION DAY

Hej alla!
Första spadtaget mot Mission Day GBG tas härmed.
Detta är ett ENL event.
Initiativet står vi, ENL GBG, för.
Vi söker nu agenter som vill ingå i planeringsgruppen.
Detta kommer inefatta någon/några timmars jobb i veckan.
Exempel på uppgifter som behöver lösas:
Kontakt med turistbyrå
Planering av nya missions.
Vid intresse kontakta oss via hangout eller mail (inte du stjärnan. Inga spoofare tack.)
Vi kommer att presentera gruppen här.
Uppdateringar kommer även presenteras här.

Good luck DunK!

The blog wishes agent DunK good luck with his latest guardian!

We know.

Official excuses

Information to all ENL agents.

When a RES agents starts talking to you regarding the bans in our faction, these are the official excuses from the ENL HC that you should use to defend our spoofers/multiaccounts:

- The agent was wrongfully banned by Nia Ops (Do not engange in discussions that every automatic ban was manually reviewed TWICE)

- The agent was banned because (s)he dropped keys to another agent (This is true. Do not drop keys to other agents. It has been confirmed that this is true)

- The agent was banned because my kids played Ingress on my phone

- The agent was mass-reported for cheating by RES and then wrongfully banned

Yours truly,
ENL HC

A letter from the RESistance

Some days ago we received a letter from the opposing faction, the RESistance. Although we do not agree with its content, we publish the letter here for the sake of transparacy.

From: resistancegbghighcouncil@ingressresistance.se To: enlgbg@gmail.com Subject: Mistreatment of agents Dear ENL GBG and ENL High Council, We have read the stories of how you have kicked out one of your own agents from the ENL gemenskap. We (the RES) feel that this agent has been treated unfairly. It has therefore been decided in our faction that we will leave this agent alone and let him receive his ONYX GUARDIAN BADGE on the following portal. We hope this will make him feel better. All local Resistance agents have been instructed to leave this portal alone. We wish the agent good luck until the 28th of November when he (if all goes well) will receive his badge. Signed Mustard of the RESistance High Council Gothenburg

Welcome? back

The blog would like to make it's readers pay attention to the fact that our known spoofer asterix is now back in the game.



This former agent in the high council of ENL GBG was banned for spoofing in May (Yes, we know we supported the #freeasterisken campaign, but we received evidence that we were wrong. SORRY), and has now decided to start a second account, a clear violation of ToS which we (of course) frown upon.

We advice all ENL Agents to report the agent via the Ingress Help center.

A gentle reminder

After a little incident in ALL COMM today, may we please remind the following agent (and all other agents as well)





of the following sentence from the Ingress Code of Conduct

"If you suspect someone of cheating, don't call them out in Comm or demand they show their face"

May we also ask our agent to please think before accusing a fellow, local, high level player for spoofing to a portal less then a few km from home. Really?

May we also remind our agent that we (The ENL) is the only faction that have had agents banned for spoofing in our local area.

The Permanent Temporary Anomaly

In Enlightened Gothenburg we have a saying: 
"Fantomen är död! Länge leve Fantomen"
This means that Fantomen dies, and he rises again, like the that bird, the Fenix/fallos whatever. 

While it's unbeknownst at this time the fallout from this. 
It seems that the Almighty Evert Taublerånet has got the final laugh. 
While we appreciate the fight against the Apartheid we mentioned earlier, we are a bit confused (http://enlgbg.blogspot.se/2016/03/todays-latin-lesson.html) 

Is this due to the fact several of our new agents have such hideous appearances that they break the time-space continuum? 
Or is pure coincidence that us Enlightened players are CURSED with the number 90?
90 Days. A lot of us curse at 88-89 when something happens (that VI VET-thing perhaps?)

But this time. It seems reaching day 90 really isn't giving any medal. 
It gives us a sense of unaccomplishment.
 I mean, we heard rumors of lots of drama and a hembesök as icing on the cake? 
What gives Hemtjänsten? Is really a platinum time out what was agreed upon? 

Let's talk about cheats baby, let's talk about you and me

The blog find it a bit worrying that we (The ENL in Gothenburg) keep accusing the smurfs for cheating (Because we know. Yes, we know!) to the point that the phrase "VI VET!" (Swedish for "WE KNOW!") has become a meme among the RESistance.







Still... Even though WE KNOW, none of the RESistance agents have actually been banned.

Instead, our own players are unjustly banned  (FREE ASTERISKEN! He did not spoof! WE KNOW he did not!).


WE KNOW for sure that G*nd*r**n101 has never ever played with several accounts. Never!

The blog is quite confused about these contradictions. Please, someone, explain this to us in the comments below.

VI VET! (Or rather, we WANT to know.)

Keeping track of the enemy

Well, this was supposed to be a surprise for later on, but seeing that a few of our agents already started using the site we thought that we could talk about this now.

A few month ago the site Outgress was release and some of the ENL GBG blog crew has been a part of the development of the site. Outgress can be described as a poor man's scraper. Keeping track of Resistance agents by attack notifications. This is not a violation of the Ingress Terms of Service. Noooo! It is not considered cheating!

To make sure all of our agents are using this system, we will start listing the agents here who are already participating in Outgress:

sajjen

Since Outgress is not considered cheating we see no problems with this. We are quite sure that the Resistance agents will not report the agents above for cheating.

Just like our blog entry regarding name changes, this entry will be updated as our agents contact us and asks us to enter them on the list.

A guide to choosing faction

Choosing faction is important. Maybe the most important choice in the game. To help future agents in our local area we have made this guide to help you select the most suitable faction.

Circle your answer (YES or NO) and then count your circles in each column (RES and ENL). The column with the most circles gives you a good idea on which faction to choose.

Question	RES	ENL
Do you have a sense of humor?	YES	NO
Do you often feel offended?	NO	YES
Do you prefer to farm blue L8 portals?	YES	YES
Do the word "enemy" make you afraid and anxious?	NO	YES
Have you ever abused your spouse?	NO	YES
Have you ever stalked your team mates in any game?	NO	YES
Do you enjoy a top down organisation in your team?	NO	YES
Do you enjoy sarcasm?	YES	NO
Do you enjoy changing your IGN?	NO	YES
Do you have an habit of accusing new members of your team for cheating?	NO	YES
Do you have an habit of accusing the other team for cheating?	NO	YES

If you are already a player, how did you score? Did your scoring match your current faction choice? Please use the comment section below to discuss your results.

Insecure communication!

A while back, we (The mods and high council of ENL GBG) decided to switch from Hangout (insecure) to Telegram (very secure!) for our top secret chats. This was done to prevent any leaks, but this did not seem to stop the leaks, which was quite concerning.

But now we've found out that even Telegram (who uses their own encryption! Very smart!) is not secure! This is how those smurfs can anticipate our every move! This is how they know! (But we also know that THEY know so....)


http://gizmodo.com/why-you-should-stop-using-telegram-right-now-1782557415

We advise all our agents to immediately uninstall Telegram (TG) and switch to the chat application ICQ which has been around for ages and should be considered secure:
https://icq.com

Please download the app and enter your ICQ number and Agent name in the comments below. The blog will then invite you to our new secure ICQ channels.

For those of you who play with your whole family's accounts (Hello PoppeJopp!), please make sure that you uninstall TG from all accounts.

Thank you.

Greeeen!!!!!!! ENL forever!!

Proof of Proof of Present Calendar

While we haven't heard back from the winner yet, some pictures of the calendar have emerged on the dark channels of the ENL network. In this blog post we present to you the winning PoP (which did not appear in the calendar) along with pictures of the calendar itself.

Edit: We forgot to thank the smurf agent (who wish to remain anonymous) for ordering the Calendar from the Resistance web shop. Thank you. You know who you are.


Winning PoP at Skallens fyr. This portal is only available by ålning medelst krälning. Or just plain spoofing (Which from here on be called "asterisking")

Proofs of Proof of Picture Calendar below

A winner has been selected!

We do apologize for the delay, but this week a lucky winner will be receiving a PoP (Proof of Present) calendar in his or her mailbox!

If you are the lucky winner, please send us a PoC (Proof of Calendar) of yourself and the calendar to enlgbg@gmail.com to make sure that we have sent it to the correct address. If you do not want us to publish such a photo, please just send us an email saying that you received it.

We will also be posting the winning PoP photo in a blog post later on.

New set of rules

As the most prominent ENL Blog we are (of course!) a proud member of EHC (Enlightened Higher Council) in Sweden. Tonight our local agents Insanely "You must put resos on couch" Instability and SurJimmy, together with unnamed (undercover) agents in the South of Sweden have agreed on some new rules.

Starting tonight, all players must link. Capping portals are NOT allowed for Agents above Level 3.





ENL Agents who do not follow these simple rules will be naffalliated.

If you see RES Agents who disobey these rules please report them in your scanner to NIA Ops.

Goodbye to our fallen soldier

Our campaign "Free asterisken" only just got started before asterisken got a reply from Niantic on his appeal on the ban. Later that day he issued the following statement

Nu har jag fått tänka och har bestämt mig för att inte börja spela igen. Niantic lyckades med det bloggen aldrig kom nära med. [...] Tack för gott spel.

Rought translation "I've thought about this and have decided not to start playing again. Niantic succeeded with what the blog never came close to [...] GG."

The blog is a bit curious about this statement since we have only looked out for our agents since day one. When our agents are refused representation in the sit reps, the blog is there to make it right. We will never hesitate to defend our own players or to give those damn Norwegian Vikings a good slap.

We are also curious about how asterisken would continue playing since he was banned? We would not like to believe that our dear sheriff would start a second account to keep playing since this would violate the ToS.

With that said we wish our former agent good luck with whatever projects he undertakes now. You will be missed. (No, not really!)

We are also curious on our readers take on this. Did our dear agent really cheat or did Niantic commit a horrible mistake? Please discuss in the comments below.

FREE ASTERISKEN!

Today we launch a new campaign on Google Plus!

FREE ASTERISKEN!


To support this campaign, please change your Google Plus banner to the image above.

Asterisken was unjustly banned and we demand that Nia Ops reinstate his account! We are quite sure he never spoofed, used scrapers to hunt guardians, kicked his dog or captured Skallens Fyr (because that portal is impossible to capture).

A clarification on Niantic bans in Ingress

No Ingress player has ever been hard banned (i.e. unable to play the game) due to unfounded reports from other players.

If a players is reported by another agent and Niantic takes action, the accused player will be soft banned (i.e. can logon to the game, but is in observer mode. Hacks do not give items and XMPs do no damage). There are no known incidents where a player has been hard banned immediately due to (unfounded) reports by other players.

(Suspected) cheaters are known to be hard banned.

If you try to view the profile of a hard banned agent your scanner will display "Scanner running hot".

If no plausible explanation for a ban can be found, blame the other faction for mass-reporting.

How to kill guardian hunters! (WSi 5)

Just a quick reminder agents! Please do not satisfy smurfs.
Option one: stop recharging portals. 

Option two: kill the hunters. 
See the illustration for conduct. Remember that smurfs get bored. They only enjoy the tears. 
If we stop caring or act. They will be fooled and stop. 
So here is a how-to. 
Remember smurfs are always watching!

First half is for external expression. The front vs pesky smurfs. 
Second half is for internal expression. You can feel safe among us. 
Please only reveal first part! Do not reveal the second part! 
AND NEVER WRONG WAY AROUND!!!
Yes, that means you cum-gurgler!

Summer is green we rock! 

Those Norweigan bastards!

The blog is under attack!

Not only have we noticed that some of our own agents have blocked the blog! This kind of censorship is uncalled for. The blog is always looking out for our own players first and this behavior is unacceptable. Censoring the blog only reminds us of dictatorships like China and North Korea.

But this is not all. It now seems that the Norweigan ENL agents are stepping out their war against us in ENL GBG. Take a look at this post on Google+:

https://plus.google.com/+TomVoss123/posts/Pc1H8SQyiVK

Notice something? Of course you don't since it's not there anymore. Our posts in that thread are being deleted. PoP (Proof of Post):



Those Norwegian seal-eating bastards not only taunt us for not being able to handle the shard properly, they are now refusing to mention our agents in the sit rep and deleting our posts about this!

ENL GBG demands the following:
1. Give our agents the credits they deserve.
2. Stop blocking us
3. Stop deleting our posts

If our demands are not met we will ADA the guardians of all Norweigan ENL players.

Freedom of Press

Ever since this blog started our local smurfs have been trying to figure out who of us in ENL GBG that is running this blog. The smufs have systematically denied this, but due to a little unintentional slip in a x-fac channel we can now present proof that they are indeed systematically harassing us. The blog would like to thank to the ENL agent who was observant enough to spot the slip and immediately emailed the blog.



As can clearly be seen in the screenshot (that was posted by a smurf in a xfac channel) above, the smurfs have a dedicated hangout channel to slander, harass and share information about the authors of the blog! We demand that this stops now! We have freedom of press, freedom of speech and protection of our sources! We also have blue/grey portals at our frack farms. Take that RES GBG!

Stay green! Go Green!

Jury in session (WSi 6)

Our Jury is still in session. The winners of PoP-competition announced shortly! Meanwhile agents, party safe pretty please. We wish for a hasty recovery!

 

Today is a special day

On this day, one year ago our most precious portal Solur disappeared from Kode. Sitting in the yard of an old time player, this portal supplied our players with XMPs and our skies with fields.

Those smurfs just got to stop report our portals on private property. Reporting is cheating!

The competition is over!

The competition is over for this time. We thank everyone who submitted PoPs for the compo! A winner will be selected as soon as possible.

Sorry for not posting this earlier, but we are still sobering up from the birthday party yesterday.

Frogs are best!!!

Policy and Staff Changes (WSi 4)

As always we listen. Recent feedback's been heard. Some plead some cry. Either way we act. 

Very Proudly Introducing WSi. WSi is an abbreviation. Word Sentence Index Number.

* We will use paragraphs. 

* We will use breaks. 

* Making it easier to read.

Very proudly introducing Ms Sophie. Our brand new Illustrator. 

We will work closely. Making art of art. So to speak lol. Just kidding but ok. 

See how we changed? Explaining when jokes happen. And The people rejoiced!

Just kidding again though. A joke is fun. See the pictures below. 

Final words sadly needed. We have seen copies. Paper copies spread around. 

Please avoid this strain. Think about the trees. 

Environmental quote: Be green! Read from the screen!

What's the difference between you and me?

What's the difference between a ENL GBG frack farm and a RES GBG frack farm?
(answer below image)



Answer: None. They are both hacking blue P8 portals.

BRING OUT THE GIMP!

From: surjimmy@highcouncil.enl.se To: enlgbg@gmail.com Subject: Bringing out the gimp! Most of you are aware of my gimp agent Lowest that I keep in the basement. Usually he does not get out much and what we do in the basement stays in the basement! But last night I though I would take him out for a treat! I've always felt sorry for those with founder badges, but no onyx guardian. Not only did we get to eliminate a few blue LTPs (Long Term Portals) but agent Lowest got to cap those portals far out in the woods and with a bit of luck he will now get his Onyx Guardian badge on the 20th of September this year! Stay green! SurJimmy
