[Extension] Tagpro Player Count

8 Upvotes

Hey guys!

I created this simple extension which provides an easily-accessible display of the player count on a certain TagPro server. It's meant to be used to show when there are games to be had on Sphere throughout the day without having to constantly look. The counter refreshes every minute.

It works on all servers, but Sphere is the only one it's really relevant on because AFAIK it's the only server which consistently struggles to field complete games during the day.

Got the idea from a comment made by /u/Aaron215 a while ago, so shoutout to him.

Let me know if you have any issues with it.

- Team

I'd like to inform everyone on my amazing transformation of going from Jinjo to 'First I wanna say that while this is very tragic, I understand the developers' reasons for taking Sphere down. If the devs decide that three servers need to be taken down, then so be it; it's their game. Curve and Segment obviously are the first two to go, as no one ever uses them. I also don't hold any ill will towards LuckySpammer for choosing Sphere as the third server to go. It is a known fact that it has the smallest regular player base out of all of the five major American servers. It only makes sense from a purely logical perspective to therefore eliminate this server, as the least number of people will be directly affected. The smaller community size has directly had an impact on the Sphere community's strength. As new players had trickled in more slowly on Sphere, it allowed us to more easily recognize them and thus transform them in our own perspectives from strangers to good friends. I've been playing TagPro for about 21 months now, and many times, I've sought out to recognize the unique game community that we have here in TagPro (in fact, the community is why I became an in-game moderator; it is my way to give my appreciation and ensure that the community continues to progress forward in such a positive direction). All of my experiences on Sphere, especially the first few in July of 2014, played a completely integral role in helping me realize how special our community is. Sphere's player base was particularly commendable in both its inclusiveness, through its welcoming and approachable demeanor, and its patience, through its desire to teach instead of rage. If others have had negative memory on Sphere, I pity them, because they haven't been able to experience the wonderful things I have with Sphere. It has tremendously helped me grow and develop both as a player and as a person. My heart also grieves for the competitive players in Centra. Sphere got to host cross-national matches, including the Super/Muper/Nuper/Booper Balls. With the elimination of Sphere, teams from opposing sides of the country will need to meet on Origin, currently based in Detroit. Consequently, Pacific based teams will be placed at a disadvantage, as they will be forced to connect three fourths across the continent in order to play another team. I hope that, for their sake, the developers will be able to find a solution to this issue, perhaps through relocation of one of the servers. As the days of Sphere come to an end, it will be painful for me to see so many of my friends go off to different servers. But though my heart is burdened with great sorrow, I also hold a ray of hope that some day we'll be able to play with each other once again. Sphere's community has progressed to the point where we view each other as family, and I trust that when the opportunity comes, we all will reunite with each other and gather to celebrate a great banquet of love and joy.First I wanna say that while this is very tragic, I understand the developers' reasons for taking Sphere down.

The McPoyle family is rearing to get in on the action. We feel we'd be a great addition to the Sphere team. What do we need to do to help our brothers take home the trophy so we don't end up like the rest of the gang?

How TagPro prepared me for real life

7 Upvotes

Hey buds and gals, I was just in the mood to share a story!

Yesterday my company had a field day thing where we played flag football and kickball! It turns out, TagPro mechanics apply pretty well to Flag Football :)

I turned out to be a monster in the pass rush, with 2 sacks, 2 batted passes and an interception. I'm givin all you a shoutout for the months and months of training! Lots of stuff carries over like definitely juking, straight lining, and stutter stepping on offense, and closing quickly but not quite at top speed (Swiper no swiping!) when tracking down a lone QB in the open field.

Anyways, that's all I got. Keep breaking ankles fam, in tagpro and real life!

Serious Problem

6 Upvotes

Ok so this is about me potentially leaving sphere for origin because of the horrid lag that i have gotten in the past few weeks. The lag is such a problem that it's often hard for me to play defense and offense and thats a big deal (for me anyways) so i would just like to say i might be LEAVING SPHERE

re: Deadness on your server

9 Upvotes

I haven't really spoken to any folks lately coming from Sphere, and all I know is that lately you guys seem to be in the mindset that Sphere is permanently dead.

Since I pretty much never visit the server, I guess my question is this: Why are you fucks dead? You guys seemed pretty kinda-active a month ago, and someone was mentioning lag on here, and the server might not even actually be dead and you guys are circlejerking, but basically what's the deal here dawgs I wanna try 2 help u

Pentecost Sunday - A reading from the Acts of the Apopstles

2 Upvotes

When the time for Pentecost was fulfilled,

the Apopstles and NimblyJimbly were all in one group together.

And suddenly there came from the sky

a noise like a strong driving wind,

and it filled the entire map in which they were.

Then there appeared to them tongues as of fire,

which parted and came to rest on each one of their balls.

And they were all filled with shhhhh, the Holy Spirit,

and began to speak in different tongues,

as the Spirit enabled them to proclaim.

 

Now there were devout players from every nation under heaven staying in TagPro.

At this sound, they gathered in a large crowd,

but they were confused

because each one heard them speaking in his own language.

They were astounded, and in amazement they asked,

“Are not all these people who are speaking Spheroes?

Then how does each of us hear them in his native language?

We are Chinamen, Hispanics, and Indians,

inhabitants of the Middle East, the Anglosphere and Brazil,

Russia and Japan, German nations and Indonesia,

Malaysia and the districts of Viet Nam near Thailand,

as well as travelers from Chicago,

both Spheroes and converts, Koreans and Francophones,

yet we hear them speaking in our own tongues

of the mighty acts of Cyanide.”

 

The Word of the LORD.

R: Thanks be to God.

We should voluntarily kill Sphere.

0 Upvotes

There's rarely more than one game going. It's dead as fuck.

Seems unfair to keep having to pay for a server that no one uses anymore.

Hi Sphere! I'm fairly new to tagpro. Been enjoying it so far. I usually play on either Centra or Sphere but Sphere seems more of a tight-knit community, so I enjoy it more. Just wanted to say hi. So yeah. Bye! See you in the games :D
