I don't want Ingress to be a war, but I do want it to be a competition. Teamwork and competition are what makes Ingress the game it is, alongside the exercise and exploration components.
Will there be a leaderboard for Hexathlon like there was for Field Test? People going for Elite badges benefit greatly from seeing how they stack up in real time, and all players benefit from seeing confirmation that they have gotten full credit for all 6 categories or what components they may be missing.
@NianticBrian@NianticOfficial this question was asked 13 days ago. It has also been asked since. Can an update be provided as to how, agents can participate off-site and in what capacity?
It might also be a copy and paste error from the anomaly rules about offsite-badge... unless they have done something new so that agents outside the fieldplay can still play.. to me hexathlons should be merged with FS or something its not like its an anomaly where u actually need to be on the site to play with your team, but since only 1 anomaly so far posted there could be more FS mixed with hexathlons each month better...
To me hexathlons should be able to do anywhere u are as long as there are enough portals u should be able to do exactly the same goals, hack glyph, collect media etc etc... this is like regular gameplay but they could do that if u are not On-site u cant get the elite medal only the basic or something.. not everyone can or want travel to a solo event for a badge vs anomaly where people travel long distance to fight with your team.
I feel like the last minute Mission Days and Ruck challenges planning are something I just don't agree with as well. It's nice they got it approved in time but I had my mind set with the initial hexathlon announcement.
Should have been announced with the initial Hexathlon listings. Read: I thank the last minute POCs that are making it possible.

@NianticBrian @NianticOfficial any update on the offsite participation?
Hi @GallifreyanP we are currently working towards an MD application, to be held in Port Adelaide on the Sunday.

The second paragraph there is essentially one suggestion I came up with over in another thread.

@NianticOfficial how are Perpetua Hexathlon and Lexicon Hexathlon linked if at all?
mean: if I attend both, do I get 2 different medals? how about elite?
or are they 2 attempts to gain the one and only elite medal?
or are the medals tiered? haw many elites must one win to get onyx elite? ;-)
