"How I stopped a spoofer [Story]"

#PokemonGO: Okay, story time.Every Tuesday I travel to a different town to volunteer. There are five gyms and it's a different biome to where I live, so I usually arrive early to play PoGo.The gyms are usually my team, so I prestige them up, earn coins from them for a few days before I get chucked out. The gyms are always back to my team by the following Tuesday, so the whole process happens again.You can imagine my disappointment when I arrived today, to see that 4/5 gyms were my team level 10 and the 5th was level 9 (around 45,000) and being prestiged up.I took my usual walk around the park to spin stops and catch pokes, but kept an eye on the gym being prestiged. I approached the gym in question on my walk to see if I could spy my teammate, but NO ONE WAS THERE.I looked all around the area, but there wasn't a soul to be seen. The gym is a statue in the middle of an open plan area of the park, so there's no chance that someone could be hiding in a building or behind a tree.My devious mind wondered if I could pull off the biggest heist of my PoGo career, and snipe the final gym space from this spoofer. The gym was about 49,700 at this point, with a Snorlax at the bottom. I hastily just started attacking with whatever Pokémon were suggested and came out once I beat the Snorlax. 49,960.It's over, I thought. But went in again against the Snorlax. To my complete disbelief, I had done it! I was the 'battle winner who had priority'. Barely believing my luck, I shoved in the highest Pokémon I had available, collected my coins and did a little dance!I get an alarming amount of pleasure from playing this game, but NOTHING has compared to how I felt after sniping this spoofer. I said out loud "screw you, spoofer" and walked away with a spring in my step! I thought you guys might be interested in my story and how I've done a tiny part in making a spoofer's life a little less hunky dory. via /r/pokemongo http://ift.tt/2q1gzOf
