Enlightened-made Resistance P8 farm

[@TobiasHellsten]

*Enlightened Stockholm* celebrates the *Global Smurfs Day* by building the first Enlightened-made *Blue P8-farm* June 25 is Smurfs creator Pierre “Peyo” Culliford's birthday - a day that was declared *Global Smurfs Day* a couple of years ago (allthough some celebrated it on june 22:nd this year - that's the way the mind of the confused smurfs work). So... _how should we notice this day?_ the Stockholm Enlightened agents asked - _Why don't we build a blue P8-farm?_ P8-farms is not a rare sighting in Stockholm, but *blue* P8-farms *is!* _Poor smurfs. If they can't do it themselves, let's do it for them. Let's give them a P8-farm of their own on their big day!_ And so the idea was born, and it was not long before we realized what would be the perfect spot for this farm: Just outside the northern Stockholm suburb Åkersberga one prominent mislead agent, _Navigare,_ has got nine portals approved with the names of nine of the most stubborn antagonists: _Kers, Gullefjun, Noxin, Gulgi, Expl01t, Femti11, Hjalmar, Mabraham_ and _Frost._ What would be more suitable than to make blue P8:s out of their very own memorials? So we gathered eight level 8 agents and made the 30 min trip out to Åkersberga, where a local L8 and a L7-agent joined by the Resistance-portals (most of them were P6, one or two was P4, one neutral and one, _"Expl01ited",_ was actually honored with a green L1-portal). Now, since we wanted to make this a surprise gift, the local couple got to neutralize the portals and deploy a basic round of resonators - that way, the attack notifications and player trackers would only show the usual suspects in the area. Then eight L8-agents upgraded the portal and injected the infamous ADA Refactor in each one of the nine portals, only briefly interrupted by _Navigare_ himself popping by for a quick inspection. And there it was, presumedly *the first ever Enlightened-made Resistance P8 farm,* in all its dubious glory. We broadcasted our _"Happy Global Smurfs Day"_ greetings to the Smurfs on the in-scanner chat and told them about our gift. Sadly, this was an evening of great intel-disruptions (which also caused a lot of trouble with numerous force syncs before we had it all in place), so few, if any, of the remotely located agents of both factions got to see the farm with their own intel-watching eyes - but we screenshot it for you and put it in this little movie, for all to enjoy. The farm was made here: www.ingress.com/intel?ll=59.465835,18.285381&z=17 Between 19:00 and 21:00 CET on 25 June 2013. By Stockholm Enlightened agents of _"Svenska L8-kåren":_ _bearl, deepthot, DrJones, Haag, kpistina, KaliYuga, nped, Rasunda, ToHell_ and _Virian_ In the movie you'll see us posing at the portal _"Hjalmars Hjältar"_ i.e. _"Hjalmar's heroes"_ - a portal of stone figures named after the notorious smurf that was the first in the area to reach level 8 (perhaps when the enlightened sun rose they all turned to stone). #ingress #ingressenlightened #IngressReport Ping Ingress Niantic Project Brandon Badger Anne Beuttenmüller Joe Philley Oh... one more thing: Of course we care about the environment and don't just leave hazardous pigments of cobalt and alumina behind. Just before leaving we cleaned it up and made all portals nice and green, equipping each one with eight L7-resonators which we figured was a fair balance between making them hard enough for a lonesome evolution-resisting terrorist to blow up, but not giving away free P8's ready to flip.

Nice to see that you are slowly finding the right path, some more practice and we can consider letting you play in our team full time. ;-) Meeting you all was nice, but the Swedish song "Små Grodorna Är Lustiga Att Se" (The Small Frogs Are Funny to Watch) kzbin.info/www/bejne/pZ-cgX-wob5jjdk kept playing in the back of my head.. :-D Anyway, nice prank and well played (but where were my gift bag??)

I wish the smurfs had done the same thing on the frog holiday Midsummer. Nice gesture!
