I'm playing most days now; made it to level 2 several days ago, but I still haven't finished training. Most of my play is just around my neighborhood: discovering places of interest (portals), hacking for resources, recharging resonators, and occasionally linking and even once or twice creating a field.
Last night — beautiful weather for a change!— strolling and playing around 11pm, I made my first RealSpace™ contact: A couple, who both had their smartphones scanners out, asked me "Are you playing Ingress?" One of them was an agent whose name I'd seen a lot on COMM in my area. We had some really nice conversation, and they gave me some useful tips, both then and by COMM later: glyph-hacking! :-) I'm trying to make sketches of the glyphs on my scanner, with their meanings, so I can learn them, so as to get them right and get a speed bonus.
