Is it possible to get community accounts for none player characters. For example Barney Bear used to post sitreps, photos and stories from his world tour on G+.
Are there any plans on how to get on with opr or how to clear the backlog?! Right now the backlog must be longer then ever... I have "good" candidates, stuck for over 6 month now... The Pogo suggestions really jammed everything.
Are there any plans or timeline to add new Medals outside of events? Is it something Ingress is interested in doing eventually if there is not a plan/timeline?
Is the September Field Test event a one-time event or will we see more of this? If this is going to be a recurring thing, what is Niantic looking for in a successful application / what can a city do to increase its chances of being picked?
OPR: can you clearyfy what a photo of the surroundings means? often the people just turn around 180° and this helps exaqctly nothing because you cant veryfy a portal location like this. Can we deny such portal candidates if not beeing able to identyfy otherwise?
Mission Banners approval need more love. Rigth now I have 3 banners missing up to 8 missions to get 100% approval. It is chaotic. The rules are clear but the approval processs is too messy.
There is some confusion as to the validity of indoor play areas (such as soft play); we know that play areas are 5*, however it is not specified as to whether this is just in respect of outdoor play areas. Are indoor play areas good subs too?
There wasn't any physical registration or swag at the Myriad Anomaly sites, is this something we can expect to happen with Umbra sites and whatever else follows in the Nemesis sequence events?
Any word on when we can expect an update/announcement or the events following Umbra?
For the sites that were selected for Anomalies and other events (Myriad, Umbra, MDs, etc), how many were suggestions from the community (form suggestion/request) and that might not have been considered otherwise and do you think it was a successful exercise and would this sort of canvassing be done again?
Can we expect the reveal of the official logo & medal for Umbra soon?
How much (as a percentage) have you managed to get through all the applications for the next intake of Vanguards (so far)?
There has been some initiatives/petitions by players about the impending sunset-ing of Scanner Redacted in the next few weeks and hopes for the Prime client, perhaps you could address how is the best way they could get their message across to the right people in the right way?
For the 5 year anniversary, players with all 5 key lockers got a 6th bonus one. At any point in the forseeable future will the 6th keylocker become available again?
Regarding the imminent **** of Redacted, do we know if/when Prime will have the function to report improper portals of any kind (misplaced, non existant, not following guidelines etc)?
Is there any idea of improving the view of fields in Prime? In [redacted] we can see if the anchor of a field is weak (holes and slighty different color of links), while in prime field are pure, without any demage
Should players with the recents bans around the world feel any danger from items you know you hacked yourself lets say you want to give your friend some bursters or something, would that trigger something in the system ?
Can we get better clarification on bans when an agent is banned. Ie what they did incorrectly instead of slew of misinformation? More clarity will help agents know what they potentially did incorrectly. Without knowing, most agents won't even want to create a new account to try to play again, as they will be constantly afraid of why they were banned before and if another one is looming on the horizon.
Also, how can agents know if something they pick up from what they believe to be a trusted agent, or even a capsule left on the ground, had "bad" items in it, that could get them banned?
Are the Portal Criteria guidelines on both the OPR site and the Ingress Website going to be changed to be consistent with answers from your AMA's
For one example, you've previously stated on the AMA that we should reject all portals on Military Bases, playgrounds sports areas etc, however both OPR and the Ingress website say to reject only if they interfere with the Base operations, which playgrounds obviously wouldn't.
This is resulting in people who do OPR but do not read the AMA's allowing these types of POIs through , because the offical site says they are valid, where as agents who do OPR and read the AMA's are rejecting them based on your previous answer.

Are we allowed to run Ingress Prime in an Android Virtual Machine on Android using an app like VMOS? https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.vmos.glb
The Niantic TOS mentions that rooted or jailbroken devices are not allowed, but does not specifically mention VMs.
Hi !
Mission Banners approval need more love. Rigth now I have 3 banners missing up to 8 missions to get 100% approval. It is chaotic. The rules are clear but the approval processs is too messy.
Cheers from Brazil.

Any chance all characters medals will be regrouped at the bottom of the profile like you put all anonaly ones on top some time ago ?
Kind of messy after a time.
Ps: love prime even if no one agrees with me 😂

When can we expect to have the ability to share player statistics in prime?

Hope you had a great vacation!
In previous ama and after a poll, you told us that anomalies would be announced enougth time before the d-Day.
It seems that niantic forgot this promise.
Can you remember to your event team that players and PoC should have time to organize ?
Any news on agent stats sharing (and preferably in a text format) in Prime ?
Can we get the "navigate to" button back in prime?
Over the years I collected many character passcodes. Can we please get a tool to check if a code is valid / was already used?
This would help the trading community a lot!
Thanks

[Spanish] Mi amigo Lincexy y yo tenemos más de 200 portales creados. Ambos comenzamos a jugar hace 2 años, pero no tenemos la medalla "SEER".
1.-¿Crees que esta medalla volverá en el futuro?
2.-Si esta medalla no regresa, ¿habrá un reconocimiento de los descubridores del portal?
El reconocimiento de los descubridores del portal sería un incentivo para tener una red más amplia de portales.
Saludos desde Talca, Chile
[English] My friend Lincexy and I, we have more than 200 portals created, We both started playing 2 years ago, but we don't have the "SEER" medal.
1.-Do you think this medal will come back in the future?
2.-If this medal does not return, will there be a recognition of the portal discoverers?
A recognition of portal discoverers would be an incentive to have a wider network of portals

Hey Andrew. Hope you had a good vacation.
Regarding the imminent **** of Redacted, do we know if/when Prime will have the function to report improper portals of any kind (misplaced, non existant, not following guidelines etc)?
Could we get a swag or fan art related discussion tab here on the forums?
Welcome back from vacation,
After the anime series a rumor started that those who recursed will need to reach L16 again within 1331 days,
is there any deadline to reach again L16 for recursed agents?
Will the Nemesis series end with a victory medal like Osiris series did?
How about extending the Embedded Reporter program and have agents reporting from Mission days, NL1331 meetups?
How did you like the European NL tour? any special memory?
With the retirement due of Redacted. With prior comments stating no redacted skin will be implemented. Has this been re visited at all?
If a skin was an option even paid for say £19.99 , would this then be considered ?
Is there any idea of improving the view of fields in Prime? In [redacted] we can see if the anchor of a field is weak (holes and slighty different color of links), while in prime field are pure, without any demage
why is it so hard to remove fake portals?
reports by many agents and we all got the same email back..
made a streetvieuw 360 picture of it, and still it will not be removed..
we got a lot of fake portals around, and reporting them make no sens if it al got denied
What music did you and Ethan listen to while driving the NL-1331 for the Europe tour?
Should players with the recents bans around the world feel any danger from items you know you hacked yourself lets say you want to give your friend some bursters or something, would that trigger something in the system ?
What was the highlight of your recent tour through Europe with NL1331?
