If you were ever curious about Ingress, please let me stop you right there.
It is without a doubt one of the vilest corners of the Internet and one of the most sadistic games I have ever played.
It plays like Pokemon GO, but with no Pokemon, and built entirely around carfagging.
The only objectives of the game are: 1) Grief as many people as possible, even people of your own team, and 2) Farm consumables for days at an end so you can drive 30 miles to snipe the gym of the guy griefing you, unless he berries and then you have to farm again.
Understandably, the game's community is one step from the grave, the few people that play it are only the highest octane of autistic manchildren of driving age, and they all absolutely fucking HATE eachother with passion.
They also defend to death their right to rig and systematically destroy the Pokestop submission process as much as they can, and they do this by rejecting every single submitted Pokestop that even slightly impedes their ability to grief people - even if it's a perfectly valid Pokestop. Since everyone is doing this at once, almost every Pokestop submission is eventually rejected and this is known as "OPR Limbo".
The only good thing I can say about this game is that the extremely zealous and military-grade autistic community (and the fact that capturing gyms is publicly logged with timestamps) both perfectly catalyze the ultimate spoofer-hunter vigilante report machine.
Stay the fuck away.
