I will be back to fight the evil forces on both sides.
The impending Age Of Abundance was prophecied in the scriptures thousands of years ago.

Ingress: Temporarily Banned
Request to Niantic: Please please please introduce a Block User feature on the COMM so it is easier for me to get the miscreants out of my Ingress universe. Until then I am going to try and avoid the COMM, but it is hard to not use the COMM when you are trying to build a team, which is what my next big push is. Some idiots of timtomhuze have actively been interfering by engaging in harassment, demonization and the like in the past when I have tried to talk to my local agents. I hope they also got your emails.

Ingress: Home Territory: I Need My Green Agents
The Level 8 green agents on my home turf and some of the regularly visiting Level 8 green agents just so happen to be some of the very top green agents in the entire city. When I started playing Jackson Heights was 100% SRC turf. On Fridays that guy would just sweep through the entire area, and I wondered how he managed to do that. I just could not fathom. I later came to know about the power of L8 bursters.
Then on my way to L8 I started taking over, and once I hit L8 I wiped out SRC. And I thought I was done. I was not done. SRC had taken the game to a whole new level. Now he was working from behind the screen. He was playing a proxy war game. He was busy leveling up agents. Because he knew the one with more agents will dominate a territory.
I hit L8 before exussum but he went L8 not long after. And then chicory showed up. And once he hit L8, I was pretty much "outgunned," SRC's word. SRC and Henrock are out of Corona, but both are Jackson Heights regulars. Henrock I have been calling the King Of Queens for a while now. That guy has more resonators in the borough than anyone else. Lighthouse0 from Astoria and Zrozue from Flushing and RedJava and Avumede from Forest Hills also visit. Actually I know Avumede visited because Slomar visits within hours: such is the rivalry.
I would not want a home territory that was 100% blue and stayed blue. In short, I do not want a Forest Hills for me. That would be too boring. I want my home territory to stay competitive. So, no, I don't wish my local green agents did not exist, or disappeared, or went inactive. I want a game. Although I do want a much larger territory, as in, many more portals. And I do want a much bigger local blue team. I want do be able to organize L8 farm events just with local blue agents as necessary. And I want a constant inflow of new blue agents, so there are always people leveling up.
Over time I want the core of Jackson Heights to become like Battery Park, a zone that high level agents leave for low level agents who are leveling up. Easy come, easy go.
My home territory includes much of Jackson Heights, some of Woodside and some of Elmhurst.

Ingress: Home Territory
My definition of a home territory is one where the majority of portals are your submissions. Which means just because you live in a territory does not mean that is your home territory. And it is perfectly okay to have a small home territory. So if you have managed to put together a cluster of 30 portals 20 of which are your submissions then that is your home territory. That might lead to a lot of gerrymandering, and that's okay.
A home territory might or might not be an entire neighborhood. A home territory might cover multiple neighborhoods.
Ideally you carry a key to every portal in your home territory so you can remote recharge as necessary. That also liberates you in that you can move out and about the city without losing your home territory portals to decay or easy capture because the XM level went below 50% after a few days.
Ever since I left timtomhuze behind like so much exhaust fume my primary focus has been to build my home territory. That would be mostly Jackson Heights, but it also spills over into Woodside. Heck, I have made portal submissions all over Queens, from Flushing to Astoria to Long Island City. I must have made 1,000 portal submissions by now with a few hundred more to go. My next wave of focus is along the 7 train line on both sides of the track. I covered 74th Street to 82nd Street yesterday.
A side project for me is to become the top blue agent in NYC as measured by AP.
Then I will have space to start building my team - The Squad - in earnest.
Home territory building is a ton of fun. It beats the excitement of attending L8 farm events. Fact be noted I have never lacked for L8 ammo since I left timtomhuze behind like so much exhaust fume. I also have rediscovered the delight of using all levels of ammo from L1 to L8.

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.
