2013-02-09T22:50:29  <Dagmar> It's getting easier each time

2013-02-09T23:36:43  <sdodson> enlightened are finally getting together and putting up a fight
2013-02-09T23:37:03  <Dagmar> Excellent!
2013-02-09T23:37:10  <Dagmar> The game gets boring when the other side have no clue
2013-02-09T23:37:48  <Dagmar> At the moment we have three newbs who are a bigger threat to us than the entire resistance
2013-02-09T23:39:13  <sdodson> how so?
2013-02-09T23:39:40  <sdodson> I'm only level4 but i was able to hold down three portals and also do my best to starve them of xm.
2013-02-09T23:40:26  <Dagmar> Well, if you look at the map of downtown Nashvillle, you will see from the nearby northeast, like 10 goddamn links that just go all over downtown
2013-02-09T23:40:40  <Dagmar> That literally blocks 50000AP
2013-02-09T23:40:48  <sdodson> http://ingress.com/intel?latE6=35779762&lngE6=-78638816&z=17&pguid=a84bb7b8b7744b32b89af5c111332343.12
2013-02-09T23:40:49  <GateKeeper> Title: Ingress (at ingress.com)
2013-02-09T23:41:15  <sdodson> Yeah, we need to get better about not creating extraneous links that block strategic links.
2013-02-09T23:41:27  <Dagmar> Them enclosing your portals is good
2013-02-09T23:41:40  <sdodson> I didn't realize it but I blew through all my lvl4 and lvl3 xmps.
2013-02-09T23:41:49  <Dagmar> It blocks link and field creation and forces someone to go take the things out or you starve for AP
2013-02-09T23:42:18  <Dagmar> However, they're not real bright about it apparently.
2013-02-09T23:42:27  <Dagmar> "The thin pink line".
2013-02-09T23:42:41  <Dagmar> High level resonators, but more than half discharged.
2013-02-09T23:42:48  <Dagmar> This means the idiots didn't keep any keys
2013-02-09T23:43:28  <sdodson> Yeah, there's like 4 lvl7 and lvl8 enlightened downtown, we've only got one level 7 and a bunch of level 6 down there.
2013-02-09T23:43:29  <Dagmar> Looks like someone's doing something about those fields now.  :)
2013-02-09T23:43:32  <sdodson> So we have the numbers.
2013-02-09T23:43:46  <sdodson> They have the more powerful players right now wreaking havoc.
2013-02-09T23:43:59  <Dagmar> THe way to start crushing them is to farm the same area frequently
2013-02-09T23:44:05  <sdodson> They also seem to be very motivated, i ran into one guy who was riding his bike around franticly gathering xm.
2013-02-09T23:44:29  <Dagmar> Collect those keys and hoard them until you have literally one or more (two if you can swing it) for every portal in a given area
2013-02-09T23:44:34  <sdodson> check that area 12 hours from now i'm sure it'll all be blue again.
2013-02-09T23:44:56  <Dagmar> Once you have the requisite shitload of keys, go link everything as efficiently as possible.
2013-02-09T23:45:04  <sdodson> I think our strategy is going to be to reclaim the area and then focus on starving them of XM by recharging things remotely.
2013-02-09T23:45:20  <Dagmar> Make them fucking work at destroying it
2013-02-09T23:45:22  <sdodson> How many players would you estimate are active in your area?
2013-02-09T23:45:30  <Dagmar> About 25 lately
2013-02-09T23:45:50  <Dagmar> ...and that's most of middle TN
2013-02-09T23:45:57  <sdodson> We've got probably 25 resistance and probably 10-15 enlightened within a 20mile radius.
2013-02-09T23:45:58  <Dagmar> Maybe 10 just in the core of Nashville
2013-02-09T23:46:08  <Dagmar> That's actually good
2013-02-09T23:46:12  <sdodson> Ahh, we seem to have much higher population.
2013-02-09T23:46:20  <sdodson> Lots of students and geeks around here.
2013-02-09T23:46:39  <Dagmar> so, the point of just _waiting_ to use all the keys at once is twofold
2013-02-09T23:46:57  <Dagmar> If you do it a little at a time, people will just come and knock them back down one at a time
2013-02-09T23:47:29  <Dagmar> If you do them all at once, _one_ person is likely to be the one doing it
2013-02-09T23:47:40  <Dagmar> This does give them a lot of points, but it doesn't give the other players _any_
2013-02-09T23:47:51  <Dagmar> ...and it will severely deplete their resources.
2013-02-09T23:48:26  <Dagmar> In the meantime, you also wind up having to rebuild the damn things
2013-02-09T23:48:58  <Dagmar> If you just have a bunch of friendly portals you can farm _without anyone having a good reason to screw with them_ you can collect a lot of higher-powered materials faster
2013-02-09T23:49:14  <sdodson> How many portals are there in downtown nashville?
2013-02-09T23:49:19  <sdodson> There's at least 40 in raleigh.
2013-02-09T23:49:22  <Dagmar> I dunno.  100?  150?
2013-02-09T23:49:27  <Dagmar> You can see the map

2013-02-09T23:50:17  <Dagmar> If it tells you anything, I just canvased like um... 36 square blocks or so this evening, went from 1760 back to the item cap.
2013-02-09T23:50:34  <Dagmar> I had to upgrade things I didn't have any intention of trying to keep just to make room
2013-02-09T23:51:53  <Dagmar> sdodson: Also, if any of your people have gotten the idea into their heads that there is _ever_ a reason to not fully-populate a portal with 8 resonators, set them straight.
2013-02-09T23:52:15  <Dagmar> The blues here have one guy who keeps doing that
2013-02-09T23:52:23  <sdodson> i don't think anyone who does that here
2013-02-09T23:52:40  <Dagmar> Some people just want to turn the portal their color like that accomplishes anything useful
2013-02-09T23:52:52  <Dagmar> it's senseless unless you're already level 8
2013-02-09T23:53:16  <Dagmar> "haha I took their portal and put a resonator on it so they cant take it back easily"
2013-02-09T23:53:46  <Dagmar> Even an L4 resonator goes away in like two, maybe three L5 bursters if you stand right on the damn thing
2013-02-09T23:54:32  <Dagmar> '...and in the meantime you _certainly_ will get more AP in the exchange if you fully-populate and they don't.
2013-02-09T23:54:49  <Dagmar> It's whY I don't get why this one ninny here keeps doing it
2013-02-09T23:55:09  <Dagmar> He's literally handing us AP at every turn, and we already have much more AP than they do
2013-02-09T23:55:39  <sdodson> he may be running out of xm attacking and only have resources to put one down
2013-02-09T23:55:42  <Dagmar> I'm havlf considering the next time I drop a bunch of L2 items to get rid of them I'll go and do it in the newbie ground and tell the smurfs to get off their asses
2013-02-09T23:55:42  <sdodson> i've had that happen to me
2013-02-09T23:56:02  <Dagmar> sdodson: When there's literally a portal every block?  no way
2013-02-09T23:56:22  <sdodson> no, in less dense areas.
2013-02-09T23:56:36  <Dagmar> PLus, I demolished like 14 portals in an hour (it takes awhile) earlier this week.  Never ran out of XM.
2013-02-09T23:56:53  <Dagmar> That might have something to do with me burning some L7 bursters tho.  ;)
2013-02-09T23:57:08  <Dagmar> The first two portals actually stood a chance
2013-02-09T23:57:25  <Dagmar> By the time I got to the rest, they were all blasted down to L3 or so
2013-02-09T23:57:48  <Dagmar> THey couldn't zap me to empty with me standing right in the middle of them all
2013-02-09T23:57:55  <sdodson> Yeah, that's the thing too, i'm only level 4 and i'm taking out level 5 and 6 portals.
2013-02-09T23:58:02  <Dagmar> Yeah absolutely you can do that
2013-02-09T23:58:04  <sdodson> I'm burning a ton of resources so i'm also running out of XM doing it.
2013-02-09T23:58:25  <Dagmar> Singly, they're not really much of a threat as the size of your XM battery goes up, and if you walk up on them while there's all the portal XM hanging out there.
2013-02-09T23:58:33  <sdodson> I blew through 150 level 4 and level 3 xmps tonight without noticing.
2013-02-09T23:58:53  <Dagmar> The underdog position is very resource-intensive.
2013-02-09T23:59:15  <sdodson> we're not the underdog here, but i'm attacking what little green shows up
2013-02-09T23:59:19  <Dagmar> When you get to L5 and can use L5 bursters, you won't have many of them, but you can flat out crush an L4 portal with them
2013-02-09T23:59:21  <sdodson> just because that's more entertaining
2013-02-09T23:59:30  <Dagmar> No, I mean when you're attacking a portal that's higher level than you
2013-02-09T23:59:40  <Dagmar> It's _meant_ to be able to drain your battery
2013-02-09T23:59:59  <sdodson> I have 100+ each of lvl 1,2,5,6,7,8 xmps.
