Ingress Away

[billroper]

I've made much less progress in my second month of Ingress than I did in the first. I've walked much less and rolled up fewer AP, partly due to the weather and partly due to work.

But I did get to the park this afternoon where I racked up 20K AP in 20 minutes.

At that rate, it's another four and a half hours to level 8.

And I do need the exercise. :)

Go, Bill, Go!!

I made it to level 12 on Friday. It took me five hours of solo rebuilding our 100+-portal farm. I used 680 resos, but between deploying, linking and fielding the whole darn thing, I scrubbed 400k AP out of that cemetery in an afternoon. Oy.

Now I'm slowing down. Gonna focus on ops, and training the rookies, and not look at how loooooooong the climb is from 12 to 13. :-D

Congratulations on making it to level 8. I got that about 2 weeks back. Now the challenge is to get the higher levels. (I have the badges, not the points, yet.)

Well, Debbie is level 12. I still need a lot of AP to make it up to level 8. But I'm working on it. :)

Yeah, 7 to 8 is a slog, particularly if you're not getting help. But worth it.

144K to go! And since a local frog tore down all my fields today, I can get the AP for putting them back.

Probably for the best. Now me, I spent a LONG time locked at 11 due to badges, so while I made 12 on the way home from Gencon, I expect to make 13 sometime in the next week or three, as I only need 1M AP [got the last badge I needed on Monday, after I walked another Ingress-playing friend much of the way home and picked up 30+ of the 45 portals I neeeded for Explorer], so a bit of pushing on fields and going after field-rich areas should do it nicely.


14 will take a fair bit longer, since while I have the badges for that one too, it needs a giant pile of AP (and then I expect to be sitting at 14 for a -very- long time, since the AP and badge requirements for 15 and 16 are simply nuts).
