OPS heaven

End of January I felt it was time to make some fields again. After fielding Amsterdam many a time, now it was time to try fielding Eindhoven. The plan was very ad-hoc and I didn't really manage to recruit any agents, so it was to be a solo field. My goal was to get to know the area around Eindhoven better and see how easy it would be to pull of a field like this. Actually there was no ENL interception whatsoever, although I suspect that ENL agent Epi65 might have been so nice to wait with his takedown until I was done.

The linkplan was an onion, but I didn't really think about how that works when you do it alone. So I completely messed up the fields and made only 4 instead of the planned 10 layers. Will need to work that out before trying a solo like this again.

Stats:

• Clearing time: 6 hours (21:00 - 03:00)
• Mind units: 4 layers of around 80k, 320756 total
• CP was at 04:00 AM but fields take down right after completion, so didn't make CP.

Thanks to RES agents bierland74 and meliodas34 for their help.

Field Art For Flint

We made a field art to commemorate Flint and show our support. This was done by Amsterdam RES and ENL together on December 22nd 2021, many agents throughout The Netherlands placed beacons as well.

Fielding Amsterdam

Fielding Amsterdam (to the tune of 'Vincent' by Don McLean) Fielding Amsterdam
Paint the city blue again
Agents out in sun or rain
Are joined together for a common goal
Blockers in the West
Island portals far and near
Rows of anchors to be cleared
To win the cycle, sometimes just to troll

Now I understand
What it really means to me
All the endless time and energy
What has it done for me?
I learned a lot and had the chance to grow
There's still a lot to know

Fielding Amsterdam
All the secret agent meets
Countless keys in endless sheets
The fun of making yet another plan
The cheers you always get
Sharing sitreps for the world to see
Feeling awful when an ops was leaked
Crushed and broken, then revived again

For they could not stop us
To make everything blue
The islands finally overturned
And all illuminators earned
We kept on fielding like resistance do
And I can tell you agents
My fielding never stops
As long as I can count on you

Leaving Amsterdam
It hurts to leave this town of ours
Most keys have been recycled now
I'll miss them, they are friends I won't forget
But there are new friends to be met
The world is hanging by a thread
I'll try to save it once again
to cover it with blankets china blue

Now I think I know
What it really means to me
All that boarderline insanity
How it allows me to be free
I hate to leave you, but I gotta go
On to another show..

OPS Sunday Funday

Lyrics
On a dark Sunday morning, cold wind in the air
Warm smell of my coffee, drifting up through the air
Looking down at my ResWUE, I see alerts on my name
My foot was heavy on the gas pedal, I had to make it in time

There I was on the shoreline, started inflating my boat
Only 20 minutes left to go, quickly start the outboard
But when I tugged on the pull cord, the darn thing wouldn’t start
There were voices on the Zello group, I could hear them say

Welcome to the crazy-ass Resistance
Such a lovely team (Such a lovely team)
Such a lovely team
Plenty of room in the crazy-ass Resistance
Any time of year (Any time of year)
You can find us here

All these ops are so twisted, but a means to an end
We have to stop those petty frogs, they are not our friends
How they cry on the comms, how they cry on appeals
But they’ll take back our portals, as soon as we lift our heels

So then ops called me: ‘Captain, please take down Archipel’
We need a link to the UK at nineteen minutes past nine
I heard his voice calling from far away
So I took my boat out to the Grevelingen, just to hear him say

Welcome to the crazy-ass Resistance
Such a lovely team (Such a lovely team)
Such a lovely team
Plenty of room in the crazy-ass Resistance
Any time of year (Any time of year)
You can find us here

Fingers have no feeling, toes just feel like ice
And ops says: “Please stand by just a little longer, til the time is right”
In our ops headquarters, they are laughing and drinking tea
I’ll be getting hypothermia here, before they think about me

Last thing I remember I was drifting away from the shore
I was trying to make my way back to where I left my car before
‘Just relax’ they then told me, ‘We called the rescue brigade’
Just sit in your boat until they come, they will help you leave!

Welcome to the crazy-ass Resistance
Such a lovely team (Such a lovely team)
Such a lovely team
Plenty of room in the crazy-ass Resistance
Any time of year (Any time of year)
You can find us here

OPS Megasus

OPS Uramaki

 Sitrep Ops Uramaki

"Sushi traces its origins back to a Chinese dish called narezushi. This dish consisted of fermented rice and salted fish. The dish’s earliest known origin was in the 2nd century BC. The rice was used only to wrap and preserve the fish, and typically thrown out before eating the fish. The dish spread from China to Japan in the 8th century. The first reference to "sushi" appeared in the Yoro Code, written in the year 718." -  Wikipedia

Inside out

Onions, onions, enough of all those onions. Why don't we turn it inside out?! 

This was the idea behind ops uramaki (inside-out maki sushi, where the rice is on the outside).

Since this was just after new year's eve, and following several other ops, this one was a bit chaotic. However, we managed to weather the cold and made the whole thing within the estimated time of 90 minutes. Some agents guarding the anchors were so cold that icicles actually formed, footage of that still forthcoming...

We linked the rows of portals together and fielded outside-in from the corners for many double fields.

The end result was a nice big, blue sushi covering the center of Amsterdam.

Storyline

We wanted to end the year on a good note and score some good old, honest RESISTANCE MU on CP. We soon found nice corridors around Haarlem, the only drawback being frogs living very close to two of the three corners. So we decided to just do it FAST and shoot for CP only.

Several agents were willing and available to make this end of year field so we planned to clear and field within 20 minutes. The GO was given at 21:40. First link up after 4 minutes, second link after 7, first field up after 9 minutes. Putting up the rest of the fields took 6 more minutes for a total time of 15 minutes!

Just a little bit of defense

RealRouge, Tikaytk and Fortifer decided to 'defend' the field by flipping the outer portal at Wonkels and rethrow the fields, effectively immunizing the portal (and incidentally scoreing 1M MU extra, yum). This turned out useful because within a couple of minutes several ENL showed up and we decided to do just a little bit of defense. But then we got fed up and left the Wonkels to the frogs.

Fortifer got worried that some ENL would throw back the fields later that night so requested some blocks (thanks, End3rw, for blocking in Haarlem). He then went out on a little drive around Haarlemmermeer to shoot some more long blocks, to make this less likely. Happily enough no green fields appeared and we moved on the celebrating the end of 2020 in a good mood.

Thanks to all who helped!
