All Good Things Must Come To An End

All Good Things Must Come To An End Hello Investigators, G+ has served as the main platform since the inception of Project Isthmus. With G+ shutting down in less than a month, and given our personal allocation of time "behind the scenes", we wanted to wrap up a handful of items here prior to the shut down. I. Re-cap of accomplishments, and thank yous II. Where to find / how to contact Project Isthmus post G+ closure III. The unreleased "Final Script" of PI I. Re-cap of accomplishments, and thank yous. We will keep this brief - not listing each accomplishment, not catching everyone we really should in the thank-yous. If you take your memory's and mind's back to December 2015, when we founded PI, it was a much different scene in the Investigation than it is today. Back then there was a G+ Community that a handful of people knew about and participated in. There was also a secret Hangouts channel that was very hard to learn about, let alone get into. The founde

There is lots of excitement building for the upcoming #MagnusReawakens event! Here is a highlight from one of the team's submissions, Archetype: Trickster... H. Richard Loeb Operation Essex Edgar Allan Wright Andrew Krug Haerang Dong Originally shared by ViridCascadia As you can see from our decision process page ( http://www.viridcascadia.com/?page_id=42 ), we found many archetypes worthy of study, but soon Sensitives among us convinced the team to follow subtle clues to the spaces in our region where the most profound Enlightenment can occur. In these spaces we have found, and intend to share, puzzles that will help all Agents grow in craftiness and creative mastery. Our #MagnusReawakens project seeks to honor the Trickster archetypes that arise in every human culture. We invite them to assume the form of Raven, via a welcoming Nest that will also host a Tecthulu-based interactive art installation. All Agents are invited to share photos and stories of your own encounters with th

Meltdown Comics Event - @LA on March 11, 2017

Meltdown Comics Event - @LA on March 11, 2017 Agents, we've received a small bit of information from flint dille about the event that H. Richard Loeb has reported on. It's not a lot, but we've heard "some interesting Ingress things will be happening" at this time. Both Project Isthmus and the larger Operation Essex communities would benefit greatly from any on-site Investigating that can be done. If you are able to attend, PLEASE let us know! It is feasible that during this event remote Investigators will be able to be utilized and participate via chat. Because of this possibility we are repurposing a Telegram chat room that was originally established for the Meetup and Intel Mission on UC San Diego Campus ( https://plus.google.com/events/ce8eo3nslve7l83dm9qg5k41gas ) for this Meltdown Comics Event. You can join that chat using this link: https://goo.gl/z3KclQ Originally shared by H. Richard Loeb A number of interesting individuals are surfacing at Meltdown Com

Hello everyone. A fair amount of time has passed, and thus far we do not have a 100% successful resolution to the chat sync problem. As such - our Project Isthmus Street Team channel pair, as well as Ishira Tsubasa 's Glyph Journal pair (and a couple other dependent channels) remain un-synced. After analysis, this is what has happened: We started with a Telegram authentication error, for unknown reasons (we suspect NWR as per our leet-tagged post re-shared here.) That was actually quickly remedied, but then it was immediately followed by a change in Hangouts API protocol. This Hangouts change affected not only our provider Sameroom.io, but also the leading community made sync bot/service EST Bot. During this time, our provider sameroom.io migrated back-end engines, moving to the new Microsoft Bot Framework. Sadly, this framework does not yet support image relay to/from Telegram. Because we believe image relay to be very important to our content - we have not yet re-synced the ch

We've Improved Our Chat System For The Project Isthmus Street Team!

We've Improved Our Chat System For The Project Isthmus Street Team! Originally this effort was to be a trial, but its instant popularity with our community has made it a new feature.  We've linked our Project Isthmus Street Team channel in Hangouts to a corresponding channel in Telegram.  The contents is (pretty much) exactly mirrored in the two systems.  This allows our members the choice and flexibility of two systems. Here is some quick info for you: +You do not need to change anything if you like the existing Hangouts +(Hey! Did you know we have a Hangouts channel for our Project Isthmus Street Team? All are welcome to join!) +You can join a new Telegram channel that mirrors the Hangouts using this link: https://telegram.me/joinchat/BNGL8z9WscdFTBxCxNYetg +You can be in both if you want, but you don't have to +We've even added the TG link to the "About Us" section so it will be easy to find in the future This relay service is graciously donated by the amaz

Project Isthmus Announces New/Official PI Logo! Everyone, the Project Isthmus team is proud to announce our new & official logo today!  There was a fair amount of collaboration that went into creating this, allow us to share with you some of the thoughts and dialogue associated with that effort: "We designed this logo to look like a glyph because just like glyphs get messages to agents - we are, in essence, working to get our message to the fans and members of Project Isthmus, as well as the broader Operation Essex , and even broader still Ingress communities. An isthmus is a narrow strip of land with water on either side that links two larger pieces of land, which is why we chose to have two larger triangles connected by a single line. As most isthmus are not straight, the line itself isn't straight - you might believe it is a bit complex ... As for the color choices, it was our intention to represent not just the individual factions, but also how they connect and blend.&

Hello!

Hello! We have created a survey for the Obsidian Artifacts/NL-1331 event series. This survey is for everyone & is being done so that we may gather information to pass along to Niantic. http://goo.gl/forms/IHa4fPxdUm   There is more depth to this survey than you would see at first glance - so allow us to explain a little.  It should be obvious that a big chunk of what we hope to accomplish with this survey is, literally, feedback about the event. HOWEVER - there are two other big components: [One] - we feel that we have potentially discovered a mechanic that Niantic could add to future NL events, specifically the notion that "quest missions" go live that day, and are tied into the overall NL event. Such possible future offerings would not necessarily need to be in partnership with Project Isthmus.  The second to last question deals with this... (AND the last question on the survey is a free-form feedback box, where you can chime in with greater detail on your feelings surr

Indianapolis Project Isthmus & NL-1331 Contest Winners (And Honorable Mentions!)

Indianapolis Project Isthmus & NL-1331 Contest Winners (And Honorable Mentions!) OMG! What an amazing turn out to instance 4 of 4 on the Project Isthmus and November Lima Obsidian Artifacts mission challenge!  Yesterday was incredible to see! We had 36 agents complete the mission AND post here on G+.  The Mission Maker control panel shows close to 100 agents completing the mission in total. Simply incredible turn out, thank you all!  Matt Stevenson tells me there were so many agents he had to obtain the screen shots over three or four separate sessions, as "scanner running hot" kept triggering - our second "good problem to have" in a week ;-) We have received interest and questions about future instances of this, or similar contests. Because this was both our "first run", as well as the fact PI only released four Obsidian Artifacts, this completes the series. It is our hope that this paves the way for many similar events in the future, not "just&q
