Neo-Bangkok's Hidden Dogfight: Ingress, Unleashed!
⚠ Ingress Fan-site. Not officially affiliated with Ingress or Niantic Labs.

Forget Pokemon Go, Ingress is the NeoBangkok's OG Dog Game. The streets are crawling with a different kind of monster – digital graffiti and sneaky agents on smartphones! Two rival packs, the shiny Smurfs (ENL/Enlightened) and the Froggers (RES/Resistance), clash in an invisible battle for the city's soul.

How it works: Imagine neon glow sticks stuck on landmarks such as Phra Phum Shrine (aka Spirit House), temples, stadium signs or even food stalls. These are "portals" and each pack of dogs tries to "claim" them, painting them their colors: Green for Smurfs, Blue for Street Pups. Claiming portals lets them build glowing "fences" across the city, like doggos marking their territory.

It's free to play*: just grab your phone and join the pack! But be warned, exploring hidden alleys and parks might cost you some sweat or gas – and maybe even some 50 baht Khao Mun Gai from the local shops.

Why play?: More than just claiming turf, it's about belonging, about being part of a pack that shares your bark. In this Digital "Blockchain" (more likely, a Digital Shitposttery) You'll meet fellow Smurfs or Froggers, explore hidden corners of the city, and feel the thrill of a secret mission accomplished.

Remember: Two phones for one player is a no-go, but having friends in both packs doubles the fun! Share intel, plan surprise attacks, and maybe even arrange a friendly truce over some street food. Just don't get caught hacking and driving. (Distracted Driving)

So, are you ready to join the pack? Choose your side, grab your phone, and unleash your inner digital dog! Just remember, in Neo-Bangkok, the real adventure happens not on rooftops, but on your screen. Every tap and swipe is a bark in the silent war, and the city's pulse beats with the echo of canine code.

Welcome to Ingress, where the streets become your leash and the city sings with the secrets of Smurfs and Street Pups!

Digital Footprint

Ingress, the augmented reality game where digital factions paint the cityscape with glowing fields, prides itself on promoting exploration and local awareness. While capturing a portal often leads to discovering hidden gems like quirky cafes or breathtaking murals, a deeper truth lurks beneath the playful facade. Your every swipe, every capture, leaves a digital footprint, weaving a silent narrative about you and your opponents.

Imagine this: You capture a portal near a charming bookstore, enjoying the afternoon sun and a refreshing drink. Unbeknownst to you, an opponent across town receives an alert – your portal is under attack. Their phone hums, revealing your digital shadow: the time you capture portals, the routes you frequent, perhaps even your preferred coffee shop.

Intriguing, isn't it? Ingress becomes a game of not just portals, but of patterns. You learn your opponent's commute times, their preferred hacking hours, maybe even their favorite park for strategic field deployments. It's a fascinating dance of digital deduction, where every interaction leaves a whisper in the code.

But is this voyeurism a harmless byproduct of the game, or a step too far? On one hand, understanding your opponent's behavior can be crucial for tactical victories. It adds a layer of intrigue, pushing the boundaries of traditional gaming into the realm of real-world deduction. On the other hand, does analyzing someone's digital footprint without their consent raise ethical concerns? Is the line between playful competition and virtual stalking blurred?

This complex question doesn't have easy answers. Ingress thrives on this ambiguity, leaving players to navigate the murky waters of digital footprints. Perhaps the ethical line lies in respecting boundaries. Analyzing commute times is one thing, but delving deeper into personal habits feels intrusive. Ultimately, the responsibility lies with each player to ensure their digital footprint adds to the game's excitement, not others' discomfort.

Ingress, then, becomes not just a game of portals and fields, but a mirror reflecting our evolving relationship with technology. It forces us to consider the digital traces we leave behind, prompting questions about privacy, competition, and the boundaries of acceptable behavior in the virtual world. As we explore hidden alleys and capture glowing portals, remember – you might not just be mapping the city, you might be mapping a piece of someone else's life. Choose your digital steps wisely.

Protagonist's story

MoNoRi-Chan "D-Ingress": Painting the Ricefields Green, One Digital Footprint at a Time

Ingress, the augmented reality battleground, pulsates with hidden narratives in every glowing portal. While daily commuters "Follow the Money Line" and deploying resonators on highways. MoNoRi-Chan strategize based on opponent routines, MoNoRi-Chan "D-Ingress"; the catboy hackerman, have a more strategic approach. Forget predictable commutes; MoNoRi-Chan hitches rides on motorcycles, nestles on bus window seats, and leaves his digital footprint scattered like windblown pollen across the ricefields. His weapon of choice? Not stealthy observation, but vibrant green fields, painting the rural landscape with the Enlightened glow.

MoNoRi-Chan's story isn't one of deciphering opponent patterns. It's about leaving his own, a trail of green fields stretching across sun-drenched farmlands. Every portal captured, every link formed, whispers his presence to the digital wind. He doesn't stalk; he invites a challenge, an unspoken duel played out in glowing lines and shimmering triangles.

His tactics are unconventional, his motivation unique. Unlike those NPCs who fixated on "following the money line" with their daily commute, MoNoRi-Chan sees Ingress as a canvas, the rural landscape his masterpiece. He weaves fields through rice paddies, paints abandoned temples emerald green, and leaves his digital signature etched in the code of forgotten villages.

But is it just playful artistry? Perhaps. But perhaps it's also a message, a silent conversation with unseen opponents. It's a declaration: the countryside, often ignored in the digital war, holds beauty and intrigue waiting to be unveiled. It's a challenge to those who prioritize concrete jungles over whispering ricefields, a call to explore beyond the predictable urban battlegrounds.

MoNoRi-Chan's story reminds us that Ingress is more than just portals and fields. It's a platform for self-expression, a way to leave our mark on the digital landscape. It's a space where unconventional tactics can birth stunning creations, where the lines between competition and artistry blur.

So, the next time you see a field shimmering green across a rural expanse, remember the catboy hackerman, his laughter echoing on the digital wind. Ingress might be a battleground, but for MoNoRi-Chan, it's a canvas, and he's painting the ricefields green, one digital footprint at a time.
