ive been asking for the frogs to destroy stuff but didnt get much help... sandiego aka +Nicholas Hall (member of enlighted) said he was willing to come down to indy on saturday morning and help me with everything... i tried talking him out of it a few times cause it was a bit of a task and what not but he reassured me that he is more than willing....
i waited till late friday night past 11p or 12a and began my journey to destroy every green link that stood a chance of blocking my image... i happen to bowl on friday nights with +Nate Miller and he said he was willing to join me on this endeavor so we set off.... i did all the driving trying to find every single bothersome green link while nate did the destroying (safety first lol jk...) once all the links were destroyed we left... (this took around 2 hours)
since sandiego and i were going to get together at 7am, and since he was driving down here just to help me out, i wanted to make sure i had a plan set out with all the links identified that i needed him to destroy (since i am resistance i needed an enlightened to destroy everything)... so i wrote out a detailed plan on how i was driving which portals needed destroyed and then built back up or just destroyed, and the best way to hit portals throw links and not back track to save time (never knew when a member from either side would show up and completely mess up everything).... my keys were limited on certain portals so i couldnt make mistakes or it could cost me the whole image....
so i got a couple hours of sleep and headed out.... since i couldnt get a good number of keys i had to deal with what i had and that meant i had to fully deploy some portals before being able to get a link to them even though i would be going back to them later to then add the links i needed from that original portal.....
okay so SanDiego and i begin our adventure..... when we get to the very first portal he destroys it and i cant even get my ingress to lock onto my location.... ARE YOU KIDDING ME!!! I HAVE THE PLAN!!!! I HAVE THE KEYS!!! I HAVE THE HELP!!! .... i closed ingress a few times, completely shut it down, nothing NOTHING..... COME ON!!! so finally i turned off my gps and turned it back on..... thankfully that worked.....
destroy, build, link, destroy, build, link, destroy, build, link.........................................
k so at this point we are on foot cause some of the portals i needed couldnt be reached from car.... well i left my "plan" in the car but figured i knew it pretty well i think i need this link................WRONG!!! after we get back to the car i check the paper and back out we go.... he had to destroy the portal i just did stuff on and ruin one of the links i needed and since i had limited keys i ended up destroying one of the keys that i actually needed... but thankfully i had picked up an extra key to the main portal at the bottom of the image so i just reversed how i was linking it..... we then had to go back to the portal that i had the correct link attached to in-order to reattach it since i didnt have a key to the portal to link it right there (btw this portal was also only accessible by foot)... by this time my car had started leaking for some reason and i wasnt sure it was going to make it at all and even stuttered with starting up which only bothered me cause i had someone else with me (your car only breaks down when your not at home and others are with you).....
so back on track (excluding the detour to link up a portal early since i lost its key like a moron)... destroy, destroy, destroy, destroy......... build link link link link link link link link link link link...........
k i think im done..... SanDiego checks map... there are holes in two spots.... WHAT!?! man..... that morning when i wrote up my attack plan i had missed connecting 2 separate parts (symmetrical lol)... well crap.... so now we rushed over to the one portal... destroyed some links just to make the image a bit prettier (nothing surrounding it) and then went to the other and linked it up........ FINISHED PRODUCT
Fantastic work! You're an Ingress hero.
