2021-05-03 19:44:02 As many have noticed for the past few days, Niantic just announced some of the Volatile Scout Controller Portals have been updated. Brian Rose explains that if you’re already a Scout Controller of a newly added VSCP, you’d need to lose it then regain it to get 3 points. https://community.ingress.com/en/discussion/14848/volatile-scout-controller-portals-vscps-updated Open / Comment

2021-04-29 22:07:35 === First solo L6 HCF for CZRES ===

At the moment (from 18:08 UTC), a magnificent HCF of the 6th order shines above the Slovak town Prievidza, constructed by the Czech (and Slovak) agent @Freakstern

The construction of 366 links on 124 portals took him 2 days, 2 hours and 25 minutes from the first resonator to the last link and the agent very successfully used the current event and built the whole field using the Matryoshka method!

At the same time, it is probably the first Slovak L6 HCF ever! Open / Comment
