World Record for Layers

Operation Key Lime π x 100
World Record 314 layers!
Planning – When the Enlightened of Florida read about the 302-layer world record in Italy it was immediately apparent that we had to beat that. We have access to the longest spine in the world – The Florida Keys. Despite this being a classic layered field (two anchors and a spine), the sheer size of the spine made it quite a laborious process to plan.
Resources -Two issues loomed large at first. How many agents would be needed and where are we going to get all those keys? Arrangements were made for overnight accommodations at Sunshine Key RV Park. Eleven agents volunteered to go south for the operation in 6 cars teams. Keys and Soft Banks (these were LONG links) were gathered from agents from Tallahassee to Key West and from Texas to Cuba. These were relayed to agents involved in the op.
Statistics – The actual throwing took 10 hours and 40 minutes, start to finish. The fields ranged from 5.1 million MU to 5.5 million MU for a total of 1.7 billion MU, enough to move the global average.
Take down – One of the anchors on this operation was [REDACTED] and is notorious for being spoofed by the resistance. But we are very happy to say that this did not happen this time and we were able to complete our mission. The take down was done mostly by single resistance agent, [REDACTED], who worked many hours over several days and nights to **** the spine portal-by-portal. It makes one wonder where the 3,000+ bursters came from. Not to mention all the resonators he used to deploy as he went.
Fields vs layers – Just to be clear, we differentiate between a “field” and a “layer”. We could have back linked all these fields and ended up with over 900 fields, but our goal was to break the world record for number of layers. And we did!
Agents – The agents on site were DarthLayer (team lead/driver/boat ride), Gr33np3ac3 (organizer/thrower), BountyHunter23 (planner/driver), Lindow1 (thrower), GuidoGirl (thrower), Pimpin10n1 (thrower), DoctorAnomaly (driver/thrower), AriaLake (thrower), SiriusAmory2113 (driver, thrower), tmxod (driver/thrower/boat ride/photographer), bigtunacan (thrower). Amazing and awesome Operators: roarex and Tyreno. Kudos to our support team who gave true meaning to the term “crown sourced”: SutefaniDeluxe (funds, gear, Bok anchor), ViridianRave (Gitmo anchor), The_Ric (gear), bccTimeAttack (gear keys and mule), Shoopz (OSA anchor team), TheMachine7734 (gear), Fast420A (gear), AisforAndis (keys), Ocktoberfest (Bok backup), Porkobyte (keys/gear), Aconite42 (keys/gear), Dazanar (keys), WulfMichaelson (keys), Cerridwen0507 (keys), Hydriad (keys), 00Silverado (keys), Pyrallis (keys).

You did not hit any resource limits ! Moar Layers !
Cool field, but accusing a player of cheating who worked hard to take down the field is pretty crappy, especially when it is incredibly easy to get gear in this day and age if you have a solid farm, use your drone a lot, or hey, have a huge spine full of 7s to glyph. I know @LordFajj, he is a commendable and enthusiastic player, and talking **** about him reeks of pettiness and toxicity. Enjoy your win, sure, but don't throw wild accusations around.
What a great name for an Op that wasn't conducted on March 14th. E for effort. Congrats on your smug cheating accusations.
Im sure with Spoofz and Viridian it was totally legit. Congrats!
A) you got help from enl that consistently cheat in Houston sometimes spoofing anchors 2-3 times a day for over a year. To the point where vanguards were over worked to put thing back up.
B) pat yourself on the back when you put up a legitimate field. I guess you have plenty of practice spoofing fields down. You figured it would be good to practice spoofing to put fields up for a change.
Ahh yes let us not forget about the lone resistant agent that supplied enl with some of those “muled” keys. He is such a great guy he even drops links that block. Heck he even flipped OSA a few times to make it 8 again. Such a nice guy.
@NianticVK If the portals are so controversial that you need to Redact their name maybe they should be removed? Especially when they don't meet the guidelines.
Another suggestion: Add a list (randomized for security) of the last 10 agents who hacked a portal to the intel map. If keys are obtained legitimately this will change nothing. If there are shenanigans afoot it may help you remove those who can't "win" without cheating.
For the OP... You are biased. People falsifying their location are **** and you are being ridiculous if you think faction has anything to do with it. Your assumptions that 'LordFajj' had to pull some shenanigans to drop the layers shows you don't know how the mechanics of the game work.
It takes a bit of skill and a lot of determination to spend the time it took dropping those layers. I honestly was more impressed by the effort of that agent.
I should add its currently never been easier to get gear from enemy portals, and a proper drone farm should give like 20 X8 every 9 minutes right now. Just to quash ideas its not possible.
Very nice fields! It's a shame you cheapened your own efforts with talk of spoofing and backpack account insinuations. You said it took the lone agent several days to take down this field - do you think maybe this agent spent some of that time farming gear and didn't need a backpack account? Just saying...
Based on the content of the discussion, I will be closing it for future comments.
