#Challenge #Tokyo

Agents,

Akira Tsukasa, the prominent Japanese XM researcher behind groundbreaking projects like the Lawson Power Cube and NL-PRIME, has something new up her sleeve.

This time, Akira has her sights on figuring out what defines the brightest and best Agents and Operatives, and how these achievers perform under pressure.

She has created a series of physical, mental and collaborative challenges to put a group of outstanding Ingress Agents to the test in a truly unique arena.

Agents, can you outperform her expectations?

This event will be held Saturday, June 24th, 2017. Agents will gather in Tokyo, Japan and the event will be broadcast live in English & Japanese via live-streaming from Niconico.

Akira is seeking 50 outstanding Agents (25 per faction) to challenge her expectations. In order to contend:

- You must submit a video audition to prove that you are a truly outstanding Agent – an ideal candidate for this project – and ready to take on a challenge like no other.
- You must a Level 13 or higher Ingress Agent.
- You must be in good health and able to endure rigorous physical challenges.
- You must be above the age of 18 on the Friday, June 23rd, 2017.

If you meet the above criteria, submit an audition video using this form: http://bit.ly/2q0RsM3

Here are some guidelines for your video:

- The video must be 30 seconds or less.
- Clearly state your Agent name, your Faction, and showcase why you are an outstanding Ingress Agent
- You can shoot on a smartphone, a digital camera, or a webcam.
- You should also hashtag your video #AgentOlympiad and upload it to Youtube or Niconico (nicovideo.jp)
- Share it on G+ or Twitter with #AgentOlympiad.
- You must also submit your video audition at the form listed above
- You must read the terms and conditions at: http://bit.ly/2pYSni5

#Challenge #Tokyo

Agents,
Akira’s search for the best Agents and Operatives continues. Only the bravest and brightest will be selected to face this challenge; do you have what it takes to exceed her expectations?

However, Akira needs your help to decide who are the worthy agents fit for this spectacle. +1, like, share, and/or comment on the #AgentOlympiad auditions of the agents that you’d like to support.

Few classified details regarding the event has been released:
- Agents will gather in Tokyo and transported to an arena where they will compete in a closed environment.
- This is both a cross-factional and competitive event, but you will also compete against your own faction. Competitions will be Resistance vs. Enlightened, Resistance vs. Resistance, and Enlightened vs. Enlightened.
- Your power leveling skills and ability to work as a team will be tested.

#Challenge #Tokyo

Agents,
Thank you for all the unique video submissions.

If you are still considering, it’s not too late! The deadline for video submissions has been extended to Monday, May 22nd 11:59PM JST. This will be an event like no other. This is your opportunity to put your skills as an Agent to the ultimate test.

- Submission is now open to all agents who are L8 and above
- Stamina will help, but your ability to cooperate and work as a team is what will be tested the most. Akira has prepared this test based on your everyday Agent activity.
- The event itself will be approximately 4 hours

The Enlightened are currently taking the lead in submissions. Resistance, your allegiance is needed more than ever before. We look forward to your submission.

#Akira #Challenge

Agents,
Agent Olympiad is fast approaching. We want to ensure a fair and uninterrupted environment for those attending. Agents are highly discouraged from trying to prepare for the event in advance and congregating around the venue on the day of the event.

The event will be played in a closed environment and advanced preparation, like farming Portal keys, will not be of any use to event participants. Please respect the Agents involved in this event and help us make a spectacular night for them without attempted interference from external Agents. As always, NIA Gamemasters will strive for fair play, and in cases deemed appropriate, will take actions to preserve the integrity of the event.

Kick back, relax, and enjoy the show. That is how you can contribute best.


You can catch the live stream for free through Niconico via the links below:

#Aurora #GlyphHack #Challenge

All Agents have to perform as many Glyph hacks as possible between August 15th at 5pm UTC and August 26th at 5pm UTC.

Portals offer Glyph sentences that can be between one and five characters in length depending on the level of the Portal. Each successfully completed Glyph hack sentence will earn an Agent one point if the Agent correctly draws all of the Glyph characters in the sentence on the first attempt. An Agent can earn a maximum of five points per Portal, one for each sentence length. However, if an Agent is not able to successfully complete a sentence on the first try, they will no longer be able to earn a point for that Glyph sentence length on that specific Portal.

For example:

- Agent Smith Glyph hacks Portal A and successfully completes the one character Glyph hack sentence. They earn one point.
- Agent Smith upgrades Portal A and successfully completes the two character Glyph hack sentence. They earn another point.
- Agent Smith upgrades Portal A again and does NOT successfully complete the three character Glyph hack sentence. Agent Smith does not earn a point. Glyph hacking Portal A again and successfully completing the three character Glyph hack sentence will NOT earn Agent Smith a point.
- Agent Smith and a friend upgrades Portal A again and successfully completes the four character Glyph hack sentence. They earn another point.
- Agent Smith upgrades Portal A and successfully completes the five character Glyph hack sentence. They earn another point.
- Agent Smith has earned four points out of a maximum of five from Portal A.


By August 26th at 5pm UTC, Agents must meet a global challenge threshold of 36,000,000 combined Glyph points in order to stop Aurora. We have also created an Aurora Global Challenge Status Report which can be viewed here, http://bit.ly/AuroraGlobalChallenge, and will be updated every 12 hours according to the schedule in the report.

If the objective is met, items obtained by Glyph hacking will increase by approximately 33% from August 27th at 5pm UTC to September 4th at 5pm UTC. If unsuccessful, the output from Glyph hacking will be reduced by 33%.

If the global challenge threshold is achieved successfully, there will also be a limited time reward from August 28th at 5pm UTC to September 2nd at 5pm UTC that will enable Glyph hacking to provide 1.5x the normal AP. In addition, we are very close to understanding several new Glyphs. By successfully achieving the global threshold, we believe that enough data will be collected that would unlock these new Glyphs as well.

An individual scanner achievement medal can also be earned if players successfully earns 100, 500, or 1000 total challenge points during the event. There will be a new event metric enabled in scanners for the duration of the event to track how many points you have earned during this challenge.

#Aurora #GlyphHack #Challenge

2 days and half of the event are already gone!

The last measurement is 5.477.940 global point hacks of the supposed 30.000.000 final goal points.

Following the current trend, the challenge will be lost!

#December #Deploy #Challenge

Agents,

From December 20th, 1800 UTC to December 30th, 1800 UTC, we need your help in defeating Umbra. A global challenge has been issued to all agents to deploy 30,000,000 unique resonator slots before the Global Challenge window ends on December 30th.

For the duration of this special event, the following modifiers to resonator deployment will be in effect:

- 3X AP for final (8th) resonator slot deployed
- Each agent can deploy up to two L8 and two L7 resonators per portal

To counterbalance the effects on deploys, NEMESIS has ensured the following AP surge will also be in effect:

2X AP for resonators destroyed
2X AP for link destroyed
2X AP for field destroyed

A new metric will be enabled in your scanner at the start of the event. You may have to deploy your first Resonator in order for it to show up. As a reminder, this event is for deploys only. Upgrading a Resonator will not count as a deploy. Personal medals can be unlocked even if Global threshold isn't met.

In addition, agents are able to unlock the following global reward by deploying at least thirty million resonators that will continue through Monday, January 6th, 1800 UTC:

3X AP for final (8th) resonator deployed

The First Saturday Bundle for 50 x L1 Resonators will be available to purchase during this event.

Make sure to follow along our official Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram channels for the latest updates, and visit the Ingress Forums to strategize with fellow agents. Good luck!
