Package Interception: Signed, Sealed, Delivered.
MoNoRi-Chan's Ingress sojourner diary, day 124, details another encounter with a persistent rival, BlueUPS. This entry highlights MoNoRi-Chan's growth as an Ingress agent, demonstrating his ability to learn from past experiences.
The Challenge: BlueUPS - A Delivery Driver with a Resistance Agenda?
The name BlueUPS strongly suggests a Resistance agent disguised as a UPS delivery driver. This agent has been targeting MoNoRi-Chan's portals, particularly one along his mother's workplace route.
Learning from BigBB: The Price of Predictability
MoNoRi-Chan acknowledges a disadvantage from a previous encounter with BigBB of NeoBangkok Outskirts. Sharing the same route, both agents repeatedly attacked each other's portal along the way, a frustrating cycle of morning and evening confrontations. This experience taught MoNoRi-Chan the importance of adaptability.
The Art of the Subtle Troll: Resourceful and Unconventional
MoNoRi-Chan implements a resourceful strategy against BlueUPS. He recognizes that direct attacks on BlueUPS's flipped portals would expend precious XMP busters. Instead, he chooses a more subtle approach:
- XM Buster Conservation: Avoiding direct conflict preserves MoNoRi-Chan's resources for more strategic uses later.
The Bigger Picture: Redefining the Playing Field - A Prius with a Purpose
MoNoRi-Chan focuses on rebuilding the field structure around the contested portal. This tactic achieves several objectives:
- Disrupting BlueUPS's Routine: Shifting the field anchor into the alley disrupts BlueUPS's easy access point, forcing him to find a new way to attack. This throws a wrench in his usual routine.
- Maintaining Control: The new field structure likely encompasses the portal again, bringing it back under Enlightenment control. MoNoRi-Chan regains dominance in the area.
- Psychological Edge: By not directly confronting BlueUPS, MoNoRi-Chan might be employing a subtle form of psychological warfare. The lack of reaction could frustrate his opponent.
Eco-Friendly Ingress: A Prius Advantage
MoNoRi-Chan's fuel-efficient Prius gives him an edge over other Ingress players who might rely on gas-guzzling vehicles. This eco-conscious approach allows him to strategically revisit portals without worrying about fuel costs, a luxury BigBB likely didn't have in NeoBangkok.
Overall, MoNoRi-Chan's approach highlights strategic learning, resource conservation, and field manipulation as effective tactics in Ingress. His eco-friendly Prius further contributes to his unique style of play. MoNoRi-Chan demonstrates that adaptability, resourcefulness, and a little bit of green technology can go a long way in Ingress.
