Ingress: Jackson Heights Mysteries

This past weekend the Enlightened in Queens organized a L8 farm event in Jackson Heights which has emerged as the top Ingress destination in the borough, both in terms of its central geographical location and, more important, its growing cluster of portals (mostly, thank me).

I know exussum has a car, I know chicory has a car, I know Avumede has a car. I don't understand why they chose to walk. Pi and Huze disrupted them after just two hacks. In a car they could have burnt out the whole thing in 20 minutes flat. Pi and Huze showed up an hour after the green gang got started.

Ingress: The Squad: Racially Coded Language

You can see fatasses on both sides engaging in racially coded language. They act like they are but on the same team.

This reaching across the team dividing line (there are only two global teams possible) with racially coded language is not exactly a new observation on my part. But Ingress in its purity is supposed to help you cut across social barriers. But it is a knife. You can cut vegetables with it, or you can cause harm. Some people use the game to express their prejudices. It's their choice.

G+ socializing is mostly a waste of time. COMM socializing is mostly a waste of time. This game is played outdoors where you actively interact with portals. But faction chat verbal wars are I guess part and parcel of the game. Once in a while you just have to engage.

As I build The Squad I am going to keep chat verbal action and racially coded language in mind.
