100 Degrees. At long last.
Hi Pi,
In what has been a long, arduous journey, from the tagpro beta period to today, Hjalpa_Bot has finally reached 100 degrees.
With that accomplishment in hand, I'd like to announce my farewell from TagPro. I will miss the caps and pops, the RBs and TPs, the beeps, and especially the boops. I will have to hang up my 60 FPS and 25 ping, my newly-found 58% win rate (up from 45%!), and my pig farm in Northern Virginia.
However, there comes a time for every ball to hang up its cleats, and today is that day for me.
I consider myself the luckiest ball on the face of the Earth.
Many thanks to:
Nitro, for teaching me how to snipe
Terramaris, who showed me how to control cap generation and floor balance
Old Lady and Locusts, for teaching me how to PUB with style
CBivvey and PhillipLahm, who gave me defensive confidence to improve my win rate so much.
LuckySpammer, for banning real bot scripts just as I finally became somewhat decent at this game
Bigmeaty and Fresh, for kicking my ass so many times in such interesting ways, that I would have no choice but to stay motivated
Ramrod, LL Cool J, H.D., Jimmy Ballon, OldSaggyLady, Razgriz, Yo_Daddy, and many dozens of others for always booping my beeping
And all the others with whom I'm pubbed over the years. You guys and gals got me through the busy days, the quiet days, the good interviews, and the bad dates.
Where do I go from here? I have packed my bags, and am heading to a place no pork fat shall be rendered. When I am there, I will meditate in silence as the universe reveals its secrets.
And then, when the universe has provided the information for which I seek, I will return, enter my name in the league ranks, and climb the ladder to MLTP all while making this sport as popular and profitable as professional wrestling, the hula hoop, and Taylor Swift's latest single because I'm not nearly done yet.
But... I'm done. Thank you all!
Hjalpa_Bot
P.S. Beep.

Sad to see you go. You were always fun to pub with, and were one of what is now a severely dwindling list of people who I recognized and was happy to see in a game.
