When playing Ingress, you happen to have a fucking phone you can use to record the behavior and then report them to the police.

I think there is some video...This was a friend of mine out late last night. I heard about the incident on comm and chat but haven't talk to him about it yet.

Can't wait to see the video since I have heard there was some shirtless chest beating involved too.

I bumped into a pair of agents a year or two back and they thought they were putting on a good "tough guy" front, but it was really more like this.

[–]bobpaul 4 ポイント5 ポイント  (3子コメント)

#2 makes me very suspicious that the accuser isn't blameless in this whole incident. How did MungaDey know saleenone ran 2 red lights? Was he following him around?

The rule of thumb is it's fair game to follow comm actions and even try to predict where they're going to be next so you can beat them there, but it's uncool to tail someone's car. In real life, following someone's car will often result in the followed person getting out of their car and yelling at you; playing a game doesn't make that less likely. That could very well be the threat mentioned in #4.

The sad reality is there's no real defense in this game. I generally recommend against trying to defend (other than throwing blocking links if you suspect a large field) because defending tends to result in these sort of confrontations where both parties claim they're blameless but really they're both acting like giant assnozzles.

[–]MungaDey 2 ポイント3 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Bobpaul, I strive to be a non-assnozzle in life.

COMM shows that I was not tailing him in any way, except for a little circle in town where there are a slew of portals all in actionable range. I was parallel-parked behind him at one, then behind him once again as he was taking FOREVER to kill a portal that I was recharging and redeploying on. Sitting still, both of those times. Leaving that spot, you take a two lefts to get back into town. I went left, as he did, from that stop sign. At the light where one would go left, I pulled up behind him to also turn. He ran the light, but I did not. (At Kristopher's, for those in the area.)

After the light turned, I proceeded left, down the main street of the town, which is quite wide. It was very easy to see him a couple hundred yards ahead, blazing right through the light.

I have met very many "green" players in and around Charlotte, and have enjoyed my conversations with them. I have always done my best to be polite and friendly. The behavior I witnessed last night was as unwarranted as it was reckless.

I was out with my other half when we were lowly level 3s during the days of mega rapid decay. There was an area of the city that was entirely grey, so we thought we'd wander around and take some portals, throw up some fields and make some AP. We noticed that a couple of high level (8+) frogs were blasting down everything we did, and eventually we caught them in the act. There was a bit of banter but nothing overly unfriendly, then they drove off to kill more of our portals, leaving us thinking that no matter what we did, our feeble resonators and shields would be pwned in seconds with their Lvl8 bursters.

So we started again, and built a lovely pattern of fields - I'll post a pic if anyone's interested, it looked a bit like Sydney Opera House - using nothing but lvl1 resonators, no mods. They must have decided it wasn't worth their time and energy to destroy, because we didn't see them active again that night.

[–]deadbeatengineer 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

saleenone is a reckless driver even when he doesn't play. This area is full of them. Munga is usually very nonconfontational and I've seen saleen pull crap like that before.

[–]MungaDey 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Hello there. The first crazy behavior I saw last night was when he was reversing towards my car, as if he was going to hit me. Thinking he might actually be trying to make it look like I had rear-ended him or something, I quickly started taping. While I missed the "reverse charge," I DID catch part of him slowly rolling back towards me, bumpers nearly touching.

Who'd have thought that this game would require a dash cam? I am seriously considering getting one now, after the craziness I witnessed last night. Never mind the reversing incident, or even his shouting and chest-beating, but running two red lights? (One turning left from a stop, the other AT SPEED, through the main intersection of a small town.) Full-on crazy, and unnecessarily putting the public at risk.

[–]ashyguy71 17 ポイント18 ポイント  (1子コメント)

Issue number 2 makes me pause to think....*It's not cool to run red lights trying to evade someone? * Why was he trying to evade you? Perhaps both players need cool down time?

[–]MungaDey 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

I can assure you that exactly 50% of the players in the area last night need to go to "time-out."

I wish he hadn't have posted it at all, or, as you said, with names blurred. This is drama I don't need.

[–]MungaDey 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Believe you me, I had no desire for this being here. It makes the game look bad, and it IS largely silly drama. The silliness stops, though, when there is public risk to the public.

About a month ago, I saw another local player take a left turn into oncoming traffic on a divided road as he was trying to go to the next portal to destroy. While he, also, was "playing too hard" or "taking it too seriously" or whatever you want to call it, his dangerous driving was a mistake; he was simply in too big of a hurry. Unlike that, the running of the red lights was deliberate.

[–]mwcmerrill 22 ポイント23 ポイント  (5子コメント)

What "mungadey" forgot to mention is that he was following around @Saleenone for a long time, riding his bumper, while repeatedly honking the horn at him.

If you don't like someone harassing you back, don't harass in the first place. It's just a game dude.

[–]philote_ 18 ポイント19 ポイント  (1子コメント)

Yes, this. He's done the same to me as well. Then had the gall to tell me on comm to stop and say hi next time. But without any activity on comm from him, and in a cemetery, at night, I wasn't going to get out to say hi. He wouldn't even pull up next to me.

It was however fun driving in tight circles to see if he'd follow along (he did).

[–]MungaDey 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Philote: What you are saying is a combination of a mis-truth, and an apparent misunderstanding.

I would imagine you are referring to one time where, was it Sharon cemetery, you were destroying and I was behind you, recharging and redeploying. I think most players have been in situations like this. I did NOT ever honk at you, nor have I ever honked at any other players, save for last night, when saleenone was backing up and I thought he was going to back into me. Part of this was recorded.

My comment in COMM to stop and say hello was sincere. I am relatively new to the game, and I know that you are a well-known, long-time active player. I would like to meet you, just as I have ThursdayLast, Kru5her, Merrin, ServalClaw, FreeBeak, Jegger, Picalalobu and family, Aardvark, PewPortalPew, JennAtonic, and numerous others. EVERY SINGLE ONE of my experiences with each of these players has been friendly and pleasant. While I may "hate" some of you in-game, "battling" over portals, it ends there, exactly as it should. All of us are similar people in many ways, who share a common interest in the game. I have enjoyed talking about barbecue and local sites with ThursdayLast, shared a beer with others, frequently smile and wave at Pica and his family, and do my best to be a "good enemy."

I am sorry that you misinterpreted my invitation to say hello as anything other than the gesture that it was. Please, should our paths cross again, flag me down; I don't bite. Should you doubt my sincerity, please ask the players I mentioned about their experiences with me.

[–]catmanmancat 14 ポイント15 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Don't talk about "defending" yourself. It's a passive aggres threat. You either need to, or you don't. Talk about it is totally a "come at me bro!" move...

Don't stalk people & be surprised that they are trying to avoid you.

Don't follow people around. It's sad. It's more fun to undo what they did, 10min after they left the area.

Don't take pics of everyone you encounter & post em in your hangouts. This isn't the CIA, you don't need a database. You're not running covert ops.

Stop threatening people with physical harm. We are all gamers. It's pathetic to see gamers fight. You have no business throwing your wide, sad, push-punches. If you need to hit someone goto your local boxing gym, they'd be more than happy to oblige you.

[–]lowkeylye 5 ポイント6 ポイント  (3子コメント)

Crazy. I love running into people, opposing faction or not, playing Ingress. Often I'll see someone attack or set up a portal or a resonator on the Comm so I'll know who's in the area, and If i see someone, I'll call out their Ingress Agent ID, and we've started conversations. It's fun. But yeah guys.. Just a game.

[–]RobbingTime 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (0子コメント)

[–]nsstrunks 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

I'll call out another agent's name (if I haven't met them before) only if there aren't very many people around. Maybe it's just me but some agents' names are pretty strange...

[–]MungaDey 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

I have enjoyed getting to know "my enemies" every bit as much as those on my team, although, of course, you'll spend more time with your teammates.

Last night's situation was sad; sucks all of the fun right out of the game when people take things too seriously, and then put others at risk.

[–]connain 5 ポイント6 ポイント  (1子コメント)

I'm still pretty new to Ingress. I was out on a forest trail (civil war battlefield site portals) and an ENL portal being hacked right up the trail but out of site. My first thoughts were actually "awesome! I'm going to finally meet someone else from the opposing team. Can't wait. Hopefully it's a friendly little competition and, being new, I'll probably lose it. Then I can congratulate them and maybe get to know them before we part ways.

I do completely understand there are people that get worked up over this but, good grief, that is dangerously out of hand. :(

As for my little story... it can also be called "the day I learned about viruses". I watched as that portal was taken over with no one in site, then the next, and the next. I actually thought it was someone GPS hacking at first then later learned about viruses. Sadly a lowly lvl 3 on their first few days of play still isn't going to be doing much against a virus but it was educational as far as the game went. :)

[–]SithL0rd 3 ポイント4 ポイント  (0子コメント)

you still have to be in range to virus a portal so if there was no one around in the middle of the woods they were spoofing.

I've battled a bot in the middle of a botanic garden during a thunderstorm.

There's always some assholes who take everything too seriously. I'm glad everyone I've ever met has been cool. (Or at least not a COMPLETE douche)

[–]philote_ 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (1子コメント)

In this case though, what the enlightened agent in question was taking seriously was another car following so closely he couldn't see their headlights and following him around for some time. Stalking in such a way is against the ToS. It's one thing to follow activity and head to portals, it's a completely different matter to tail another player and specifically follow them around.

[–]Drunkenaviator 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Yeah, that's ridiculous. If someone tried that with me in my truck, he'd need a shit-ton of front-end work done in short order.

Sadly there are always a few asshat players that forget this is a game. We have a few of them, on both sides here.

One came rushing out of a bar and tried to start a fight with my SO who was portalling nearby. They also followed us in their car while we were walking down the street on a date.

That is unfortunate. We just recently had a fellow green outright insulting a blue, calling her fat, telling her to go home and clean her house, insulting her husband. We didn't stand for it. He was frustrated because she was constantly attacking his portals. We were like, and? That's the game. Deal with it or quit, we won't miss you.

You can't take it that seriously. We all get frustrated from time to time but it is just a game at the end of the day. There are better things in life to invest that kind of passion.
