Agent, you have been selected as an Embedded Reporter for the upcoming Darsana Prime Anomaly. Thank you for volunteering to do this.

Your role is to be the paparazzi of Ingress! We want you to capture and share lots and lots of photos on social media.

Post pictures frequently to social media as soon as you take them.

Post at least four pictures an hour to your social media channel.
Share your photos on Social Media using the hashtag #DarsanaPrime and #Ingress.

Feel free to reply with any questions you may have. Thank you once again for volunteering. I will pass your name along to the Niantic event coordinators in order to get your Embedded Reporter lanyard and badge on the day of the Anomaly.

Only you have to do is post with #EmbeddedReporter and #DarsanaPrime (event title) at least, you can add other hashtags and more comments.

Your picture will be re-use at Ingress official social medias like this one.

【You should AVOID is】

  • Agents standing/sitting around inert/heads down
  • (excessive numbers of) selfies, we love seeing you but also need to see the variety of players at the Anomaly!
  • Pictures of food. Focus on the Anomaly.

4. Telegram group chat

You can interact with other embedded reporters and make communication with Andrew Krug. It will be told again embedded reporter requirements.

If you can't archive embedded reporter requirements, you will be kicked out from the group chat without any warning and can't get reporter kit.

  1. You must post 4 pictures per hour at Anomaly measurement time (Darsana Prime was 3 hours)
  2. Your social media posts must be public
  3. Use Twitter or Instagram or Facebook or Google+*1
  4. Post with at least these hashtags: #EmbeddedReporter and #DarsanaPrime
  5. Posted pictures doesn't have to be realtime report. Stock pictures took at community area and marketplace before measurement time, then you post at measurement is OK
  6. No watermarks for pictures
  7. Read a lot and carefully [INGRESS Embedded Reporter Mood Board]

At Darsana Prime, I was Day2 reporter. Day1 reporter shered their experiences. It was useful and I refered to it for prepare and make some images of Day2 reporting.

Day before the Anomaly, embedded reporter list was posted on Ingress official social media accounts.

You have opportunity to change social media account on the list if account url is wrong or if you want to change another social media account before publish the list.

5. At the day of Anomaly event

Get lanyard and badge at registration. Selected mail said "I will pass your name along to the Niantic event coordinators in order to get your Embedded Reporter lanyard and badge on the day of the Anomaly." So you should show your agent profile on your scanner. I showed my Twitter profile. 

After the Anomaly event, I can take out the reporter lanyard and badge. Still I have now.

Front.

Back.

At Darsana Prime Tokyo, official registration and market place had from 9am to 12pm. During the time, I took photos at community area with market place, then stock these for post at measurement time.

I also took photos just before and during the measurement time, but I couldn't take enough.

All photos and movies are taken by my smartphone.

After measurement time, I still keep reporting, other reporters were too.

I wrote blog articles after that.

6. After the Anomaly event

Few days later, reporters uploaded our taken photos and videos to Google Drive folder with edit permission request mail, reporters were wanted to pickup best photos and videos you took.

I uploaded all photos and videos which should post social medias.

7. Reporter kit shipment

When you achieved the embedded reporter requirements, you will get the reporter kit shipment mail like this. You can track it with a code on the mail.

f:id:edgeknight:20190414101642j:plain
