spoofing

In the context of the game "Ingress", spoofing, or being a spoofer, means the intentional manipulation of a player's GPS location in order to access locations without actually traveling there.

This action varies based on the device being used to play the game, but includes rapid directional motion of a device (similar to "throwing" the device without letting go), use of GPS-altering software, etc.

Spoofing is forbidden in the game's Terms of Service.

Player 1: "Man, he's standing right there! How did he hit that portal a block away?!"

Player 2: "He's obviously spoofing. Damn toads."
