Message: <blockquote data-quote="Relique du Madde" data-source="post: 6224467" data-attributes="member: 42169">A true story:A man and his wife played ingress together.  He was known for making portal in cemeteries. Weeks to months later, she died.  In his grief he did an irrational thing: he started using her account to attempt to make a guardian badge.  One day, one of her portals, one located at the cemetery she was buried is was destroyed.  He let his emotions get the best of him and he started harassing the player who then continually went after that cemetery portal every time it was reestablished.  He did this with both accounts, after revealing that his wife passed away and he was trying to give her a memorial. He then threatened to beat up the other player.After a week of escalation, the man followed the other player to the cemetery and assaulted him. Members of the local community got enraged, mass reports were made, a police report was filed and two days later, Niantic did something unexpected: they banned the assaulter. The next day the assaulter's wife's account began to play in the evening hours.  This happened during a small meet up in Orange.  The "wife" captured a portal down the street from the meet up spot before she went into Santa Ana.  Within moments that portal was destroyed and all the portals she captured before heading to Santa Ana was destroyed. Several hours later, in the early morning, all the wife's portals except for 2 were destroyed. Likewise all of the assaulter's portals except 4 were destroyed.This afternoon, I destroyed the wife's final two portals and three of the assaulter's portals.An hour ago, the assaulter's final portal was destroyed by the man he assaulted. Moral of the story:  We can't have nice things because someone always makes a grave mistake.Sadly, or maybe its a good thing, events like this will never make it on the ingress report.</blockquote>
