Its been fun buds
To the Tagpro Community,
The TagPro community has been a consistent source of entertainment, friendship, and fun for just over 2.5 years for me. It's definitely been a way to remove my own boredom while having fun experiences. However, the last few months have been different for me. I’ve no longer felt joy when I start up a Tagpro game or even when I’m playing with the lads in pubs. It just hasn’t felt right. I guess my love for Tagpro is finally gone. I don't enjoy Tagpro the same as I once did. This game has meant alot for me for the past few years, so I do want to spare some words to thank some of the many people that I have met, and teams that I have been apart of that contributed to two great years of tagpro.
#Pubs I started playing Tagpro regularly a few days after it’s 2nd birthday because of a friend who showed it to me when we were looking for some games to play at school. After a handful of games we got pretty competitive and started racing to see who could get the highest level and unlock the different stickers first. I got so hooked into the game that I began to play outside of school. A few weeks after I moved over to radius I took up the name Ice Cube and that's about when I met a player named Ceres. I kept seeing him regularly in games and was amazed at how good he was and how he was able to control his ball so well. He soon started talking to me and started giving me tips on how to git good. After that he was the one who introduced me to reddit, and a whole different side of Tagpro that I hadn’t realized existed before. It’s honestly thanks to him that I use reddit and eventually joined league Tagpro.
Since then I’ve made tons of new pub friends over the last few years, there is just far too many to people to list them all. However, I do have to mention a few of my oldest pub buds who I looked up to, and were nice and welcoming to me when I first came over to radius so long ago: Edd, Kermit69, TunaMaster, MaxW and Spec. Also I feel slightly obligated to mention the late night radius pub squad because those games bring back some fun memories. Also a lot of sleep deprivation.
#Swerve My first entrance into league Tagpro was certainly exciting. I remember being drafted in the 4th round not knowing anyone on my team or even what the team was called for the 1st week. Even though Xile and Nawse started to get more busy as time went on, they still were great leaders in introducing all of us to the league play. They were both super nice, and they did throw down some pretty spicy raps at some point. I can only remember a handful of players on that team, mostly due to the fact that we had severe availability problems right from the start. Because of this we were disbanded after our 3rd game and that was the last I saw of over 75% of the team. As far as I know, only 2 other players on that team are still active in the league and they are, Juke Dough and Karamat. Both have improved a ton since then, and I wish them both the best of luck in their future Tagpro careers!
#Probots After altp I jumped straight to minors, and honestly I still don't know why. During this season I got to meet a lot of new people and was a very small part of a successful team. The amount of talent on this roster was crazy, and it was a pleasure to meet and play with you guys. Besides from the skill level, the thing that I liked most about this team was the amount of support and how friendly everyone was to me. Veezy, Jake, Elegant, N4, Zen, Zvon, quibble, pk, SIDE, Turbo, danisk and June. This team was full of personality, and even when things got a little tight and we all got stressed, we managed to keep an overall relaxed environment which led to a pretty successful season.
#Popsford Jukenited While our time together was short, I thoroughly enjoyed being on a European team for a season. Although we started off 0-4, we managed to comeback throughout the season and advance into the playoffs before getting eliminated in semifinals. I wasn't able to spend a lot of time with all of you guys because of the time difference, but everyone on the team improved a lot throughout the season. Dr. Popper, RickAstley, damn son!, juke’em all, Irish, Snekster and Atypop were all fun players to be around and made the season that much more fun to be apart of. For those of you sticking around, I wish you the best of luck in the future!
#Primordial Clam Chowder Even though this season has been rough, I’ve still had a decent amount of fun with you all. While it’s true that I haven’t really been interested in coming to practices or even most games for that matter. For this I do apologize. However, Hjalpa has been a good leader and a nice person that I’ve grown to appreciate more throughout the season, not only has a first time captain and also as a player. We made a lot of substitutions on both A and B team so I never really got to know a lot of the players which was unfortunate. So everyone who is still on that team and everyone who has been part of the team, has made my last season of LTP enjoyable. Stronk, dethos, Grommit, Gryts, Hellya, JohnHurt, Jumpball, wheelin timmy, Ntdaspi, Hjalpa, JohnHurt, Zeus, sm7, A$AP Caplord. Best of luck in the future everyone!
#London WASDs While the LTP competitive games were fun, this USC squad consisted of my closest tagpro buds. I don’t want to get all mushy because they will probably give me shit in the groupme. However, ever since day 1, they have been super supportive and have always been nice to me and each other. I’ve never met a group of players as friendly as these lads. Throughout the last year they’ve been encouraging and positive inside of Tagpro and IRL. Getting to know, and play with everyone on this team for so long has been nothing but a pleasure. To all the lads : Tim Hortons, Laserpig, Heinous, Button, Moobear, 888, and LoweJ Its been great fun :P
This post was a lot longer than I thought it was going to be, but oh well. TL;DR It's been fun, but I'm leaving Tagpro. Wish everyone the best of luck in the future.
Your bud, Taurus
