Please reply to the list and address the issue of why the possibly mind-
controlling team is a better fit than the Resistance given the way we oppose MS
etc.
Note that I don't have strong feelings either way, but we need to make a
decision on this if we are to be on the same team.
It seems that Google have designed this to have the difference between the
teams be fairly ambiguous.

Damn. I had intended to remove the email address from that. While the
message wasn't anything particularly secret (presumably about half the people
would choose that team initially) and the message may have been intended to be
on-list the principle is that you don't reply to the list.
Without identifying the person quoting text that merely advocates one of a
pair of options wouldn't be a privacy or copyright issue IMHO.
Sorry.

I'd vote for Enlightened. I think we are more 'for' Enlightening people
with the philosophy and advantages of free software, rather than
necessarily resisting any entity/organisation, that's why I say
Enlightenment.
Has anyone in Australia got any invites yet?

That happens all the time. It's the reason I use the reply-to. A good
portion of the messages which accidentally don't go to the list significantly
improve the quality of the list by their absense. For the messages which
really should go to the list it's not that difficult to resend them.

Sounds plausible, better than any reason someone might have for baracking for
the cats instead of the hawks.

Not me.

I can't believe this, I just went to the Google Play site and it said "This
item cannot be installed in your device's country".
We need some FOSS games in this genre.

Of course. Developers have always had the ability to limit their apps to
particular countries. I don't think that's necessarily bad.
Of course there is an easy way around it. Download and Install 'Market
Enabler' on your phone (if it is rooted) and then you can impersonate any
country/carrier combination. That will let you install Ingress from the
Play Store, though you still need an invite code once it loads to get in.

The problem here is that Ingress requires local maps for things like the power
you collect. So if you install the app and there is no possibility of using
it without visiting another country then it's not going to be useful.
Now even if you can install it without Google's help and get it to work (maybe
the power etc is added automatically based on Google Maps) then there's still
the issue of not having a lot of people in Australia. In which case we might
have to split the Android hacking people into two teams to make it fun.
But let's hope that Google just haven't released it yet and it will be
available in Australia in a few days.

Neither https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ingress_(game) nor
http://ingress.com makes any mention of "enlightened". Where are you
getting this data from? Hmm, perhaps the install link
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nianticproject.ingress
...which I didn't bother to click on yesterday.
Based on the description in those three URLs, I don't know why you're
getting excited. It sounds to me like Google-controlled LARPing.

There are two factions in this game, the Enlightened and the Resistance.

What's not to get excited about a Google-controlled LARP? ;-)

I'm happy for any sort of augmented reality LARP via Android phones.
This is not the first one. I saw one on the Android market before but it
wasn't free and didn't look like it would be popular. So this might be the
first successful LARP on Android phones which is something to be excited about.

I've got an invitation, but the app market still says that it's not available
for my region.
I've searched for "market enabler" on the Google Play Store but didn't
find
anything. Do you have a Play Store URL for it?
Also do you still prefer Enlightened?

I've joined today as well. You can just sideload the APK. Just google
Ingress APK and you can download it. The latest version is 1.0.8
Yes, Enlightened it is. And it looks fun!
