Prologue
So "SHIT" links are frown upon. The longer it is, the deeper the frown will be.
How it started
One fine day, I was toying with the idea of making the longest "SHIT" link. So far the longest "SHIT" link we had is around 3km. So, TPY to AMK? Deosn't seems long enough. Or shall we link other places while cutting through TPY? No..... how about, across the whole island?!
Welcome to "SHIT"REP #5 - Operation G.I.R.L. It stands for the Great Inland Resistance Link. Objective is to throw the longest INLAND link across Singapore, Mind you, INLAND, that means it will cut through 100% of the island mass, nothing less! But why? What's the point of it?
Planning
*Now this is something which I didn't talk about for the past few "SHIT"REP because, you know, details are boring. So, no details.*
Planning didn't start till the end of the previous Ops. The idea is there, the anchors are there, but that's all. Which means, everything have to be done within one week. You might be thinking, one week, it's hard but is it even impossible? Well, considering it's my first island-wide Ops, it really is.Therefore, I would like to use this opportunity to thank @casino89 and @GreySm0ke for the guidance and support they gave me during this week. Without them, oh yes, this crazy idea will never become a reality.
OPS Silence
Ops Silence or not, at that point of time, everyone is having their dinner. Seriously, who cares about ingress when we're having dinner. Meanwhile, in any other normal ingress dinner gathering, there's always one or two RP8 with farming mods on them.
OPS
After dinner, that's when the action begins. Everyone started clearing their own blocking links at their own pace. Different sector does different stuff. Some are required to drive long distances to clear blocking links. Some are required to Jarvis more than 10 portals. Anyway, whatever is thrown to us, we managed to clear them all.
At 2137, with all the blocking links cleared, the green light is given to @Sharkzy to throw the link across to the East anchor. Mission accomplished!
Or not....
You see, most of the active agents had already heard about this plan, be it by mouth or through invitation. However, what they don't know, is that there's a second phase. Not because by choice, but because it's really impromptu.
24 hours before the ops
There's a dinner gathering at the north side of Singapore. After dinner, we went to a small cluster nearby to farm. It was during that period of time @casino89 sold the idea to @wywy. She's interested in it, but need the time to plan. Therefore, we pass her some spare anchor keys before going back home.
7 hours before the ops
Finally @wywy get back to us and tell us that they're going to field towards the anchor. About the same time, @GreySm0ke told us that he managed to get the help of @3cX and @HansipTerpadu to clear some blocking links for a field down south. So other than having a field at the north, we're having another at the south!
Credits
To @daarling and @ShadoWyfm, thanks for going all the way out to the anchors to farm the keys for us. Saved us lots of trouble!
To @3cX and @HansipTerpadu, thank you so much for that last minute help. Without you guys, those two blocking links will prevent us from fielding over to that south anchor.
To @Golro and @cinnamonchurros, thanks for the pre-clears. Really relieve the load off one of the team who's in charge of that area.
Epilogue
To those guys who're thanking me for planning this Ops, thank the rest who join us for the fun instead. Because without you guys, no matter what the plan is, it will never be a success. Cheers!

Right before the link is thrown

Congratulations to @Sharkzy, who created the longest "SHIT" link in Singapore!

North field fielded by @gs33x4m
And south by @AvaCarter
Total damage : ~4.1million mind & mackerel unit

We did say we want beer. However, there're too many drivers, so no one is drunk after this. :(
