A curious remark from an agent in the field.

A curious remark from an agent in the field. I will try to get more information, but I fear s/he may already have deactivated their scanner.

    I'd hate to get the bill for those roaming charges.

    texting? But obviously not in Ingress because the agent would not have their scanner installed when getting the message. So SMS or G+, or simply an e-mail?

    Is it a RedX phone?

    Martin Brenner Well, if you've given Google your mobile number for security purposes, it would be possible.  Kind of weird, though.  Not like there's any shortage of players, with so many new ones coming online now.

    That is curious. But also possibly this person had given their number to a fellow player who got desperate for help with something.

    I don't think Google would send "spam" messages to those who aren't playing.  Sure, they have this information because of the account association between devices, but why send texts, email would be easier.

    They would need players to opt-in for texts also I would think.

*Is Abaddon to be feared?*

*Is Abaddon to be feared?* My argument is no. I'm interested in knowing the origin of the cited scripture. Or is it scripture? It looks like it may be another person's version of the scripture which comes across as... It feels evil and foreboding. I have 2 sources that paint a different picture. In biblical text the apostle John translated the Hebrew word Abaddon to Greek which is Apollyon. Apollyon means “Destroyer,” and is given as the name of “the angel of the abyss.” Though most reference works apply this name to some evil person or entity, the whole setting of the apocalyptic vision in Revelation is to the contrary. It consistently portrays angels being used by God to bring woe and destruction upon His enemies. Not the devil or his demons. Destruction is not always evil. The Interpreter’s Bible says: “Abaddon, however, is an angel not of Satan but of God, performing his work of destruction at God’s bidding.” It wasn't until the 19th century that the 'angel of the a...

Kalash of Cultures - Pakistan: http://youtu.be/qEXnEfdvv6s The argument: 1. Watch the video; this Dardic mountain tribe plays polo. They fiercely fought for their independence through the ages, till the British arrived; at which point they adopted some British customs like playing polo on weekends (although they claim they invented the game first). 2. The Kalasha have lived in geographic isolation for so long that their DNA has diverged. But, there are markers to suggest that they come from around the Mediterranean(that is, that they are Dardic). There are 2 theories as to how they got there: a. They were travellers along the silk route who decided to settle in a scenic location and sell spices, apricots and cherries (the latter two do not grow in the subcontinent, only in the Mediterranean; and with no contact with the outside world for centuries, there's no other way they could've gotten these fruits) b. They are descendants of Alexander the Great 's armies; who ref...
