There's some jerk who apparently lives at the strip mall and comes RUNNING to repair any damage I do, regardless of time of day or night. Schmandred. We hates him.

Let's figure out a time to hit the spot at the same time. He won't be able to deal with two attacks on his own.

YES.

Although Pym has mysteriously resurfaced, and now owns 90% of the portals around here.

I am now powerful enough to saunter into a dense web of blue portals and links and just fuck everything the fuck up. I am enjoying this.

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

Also today I had this thing happen where I started firing, and instead of going off after a few seconds like blasters usually do, it built up about 12 blast rings and just devastated the fuck out of the nearby portals when they all finally went off.

[LMNO]

Yay!  I'm level 7 now. 


But someone came it and just completely WRECKED Copley square, and in the devestation, some greenboi hotshot decided to make these massive fields, making it really difficult to establish a strong network of links.

I hate that. I think people go for it because they're point-farming, but it doesn't really further the cause.

On the other hand, I'm also in favor of everyone playing their own game, which means that sometimes we inconvenience each other. I am pretty sure I piss people off with my unstrategized random spiderweb of links everywhere I go.

[LMNO]

Plus, now that I'm getting the rhythm of it, those fields will be gone in a couple of days, while I continue to manage my network of small, interconnected triangles.  I'll see if I can post a picture.

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

Aw hell yeah! It's all about the small fields and many linkages. Today I absolutely devastated a whole region that was formerly blue fields just by hitting two key portals.

I'm only about 50,000 AP from level 7; I'm tempted to go find a densely blue neighborhood and wreak havoc.

[LMNO]

I think there's someone blue who works in the same area; at the end of the day it felt like we were following each other around, flipping each other's portals. We're either going to end up friends or enemies.

I have two of those: Auspex and Schmandred. Schmandred is actually Scdemandred, but I prefer to refer to them as Schmandred because it's funnier when I shake my tiny fist.

Also my old man on the side is blue faction so I refer to him as "sleeping with the enemy" when we exchange faction-specific material such as viruses.

My workplace has taken on the appearance of some Porkchop Hill scenario.  I come in a 7:30, clearing portals as I go.  Someone named "tralphazz" apparently arrives at 8:00 down the street, flipping as they go.  If I need to stretch my legs, I'll counter attack in the morning, then build fields at lunch.  Then they'll undo what was built, which (if I don't have meetings) I'll find the single point of maximum damage and take out.  Then, as we go home, we more or less follow each other and leave a mess in our wake.  I don't even know this person, but they're helping me to get to Level 8 better than I could if all I saw around me was green.

Cram met a guy that way, wound up going out for a beer with him.

Seriously, without the ongoing warfare with Schmandred and Auspex I'd still be level 4.

Boyfriend was complaining about all his work being undone by the enemy every day, and I pointed out that "Well, I guess I won forever" makes for a shitty game.

[LMNO]

It does take on an "everything is transient" philosophy, eventually.  I'm starting to feel the rhythm.  I don't have an obsessive need (as much) anymore, and rush out when "my" portals are attacked.  I'll get 'em at lunch, and then again when I go home.
