pokestopHappy Friday, trainers!
One month ago, my enthusiasm for this little mobile game prompted me to start this community. Who knew so much could come out of encouraging me to take long walks to hatch eggs? (No, seriously, that was my gateway into the game. Not the catching. Not the collecting. Not the gym battles. It was to see what my eggs would hatch.)
Fandom has changed quite a bit over the past several years, so I'm glad to see that there are still people on DW who remain interested in communities. Let's build something great, okay? ^^v
Anyway! On to this week's headlines...
• Along with the update ealier this week, there are multiple reports that pokémon nests have changed again. Some have changed back to what they were before the last change. Some have changed to something else entirely. And some have not changed at all! Given that this is the second rotation, I would assume that this is going to be an ongoing thing.
• Please remember that there is a time and place to play PokeGo. Do not play while you're driving. Do not play while you're at work. (Unless your job requires/allows it. Then knock yourself out!) But especially don't play PokeGo if you're a Prime Minister attending a national security meeting that's broadcast live. Oops. (source)
• Milwaukee County Parks have sent a letter to Niantic saying that they need a permit to spawn pokémon in their parks. Um. (source)
• Along those lines, an Illinois State Representative has introduced "Pidgey's Law," a bill that would protect vulnerable sites by forcing game developers to remove locations. (source)
What's been going on in your neck of the woods?

I have a lot of sympathy for that PM. I'm someone with a wandering mind too. I used to get in trouble for reading under my desk during class, but I was still pulling A's and B's so I must have been paying enough attention. :D
