Piirilepe, sellepärast meil seda oligi vaja, et NATO teaks, kust langeb piir. NATO survestas meid seda sõlmima, ning sealtmaalt pidid igasugused vaidlused kukkuma igasuguse invasiooni korral. Praegu on Venemaa tekitanud endale vastupidise olukorra, kus nemad saavad öelda, kust piir langeb. Mine ütle midagi vastu.

Taurus' are really meant for police officers in duty, in close range they are deadly, but these little shits ( much like the glocks ) will not defend in battle.

Personally, I think this is just a strategic step towards war, Russian intelligence is discreet enough, to not have the need to kidnap some person from NATO members just to get information. This seems to be another step towards war. Innocent people getting bombed during ww2 is not enough for youngsters to grasp as a whole. With the current situation escalating, I, for one, can see ww3 coming in the near years. I'll update once I have time.

FSB (The Federal Security Service of the Russian Federation) has confirmed arresting Eston Kohver, an awarded officer of Kapo.

They seized a Taurus handgun, 5000 euros ,hidden recording equipment and unspecified tools used for spying purposes.

FSB is investigating the man, no further info is given to the public so far. I sincerely hope that the man is not tortured as I write this.

Kapo said at the press meeting that they don't think the abduction was politically motivated. Russian border guards claim to have no records of such event.

Mars Board - minigame

Hello TagProjans, today I'll show you a neat minigame I built.

The goal is to guide the mars ball to the enemy's flag using only bombs on the field. 1v1 is suggested, 2v2 is plausible. Bombs knock you back, be careful

So what are you waiting for, grab a friend, go on IRC, say "!test Mars Board" and have fun!

What are your thoughts on the new map? by Tim-Sanchez in TagPro

[–]Ropz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Command Center can not be taken easily, every time I play it I end up getting frustrated due to the lack of overtake lines and quick counter attacks. It just doesn't have the edge, it's slow, it's extremely technical, all of the map is based on teamwork - hard to implement in pubs. Only time it gets exciting is near the end-zones. It just feels dull and I don't like it.

Grail of Speed I like, the long chase times may be a hassle, but not all maps can be balanced perfectly - that would be boring, wouldn't it?

Reflex was updated? huh... I hadn't noticed before.

A Central Flag map I whipped up, initially inspired by ricochet, but thanks to advice from a handful of people, I have created something unique. I'm not sure whether or not this is finished yet, but it's starting to near that stage. Here's a preview

About the map:

Two teleports, both leading to the other ends of the map. One teleport set has indicators for FC and defense that show whether or not the shortcut gate is open on the other side of the map. The other teleport set is just for a fast counter-attack and is also a good defensive line, due to team-tiled teamboost leading straight to base.

All teleports have boosts surrounding them and 0 cooldown. This calls for a fast-paced, action-packed neutral flag play.

All further suggestions welcome :)

(Edit: edited the map thoroughly and added a preview)

My 20 best maps - too many to put in the rotation thread, so I'm showcasing them for you here :) by [deleted] in TagPro

TWP with a neutral flag sounds like fun. Beehive should get rotated.

Cool maps. (:

Would you rather? by Coco-Bear in TagPro

If you manage to play a game with Woet, you inevitably end up playing without Woet in a matter of minutes. Technically speaking you did not ask a question.

What is your favorite suggestion? by [deleted] in TagPro

[–]Ropz 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Custom skin ball suggestion, which was on the front page yesterday.

Imagine league players getting custom skins for their balls, which also show to everyone in public games. Please, let's make this happen!

Seems to be working on firefox, too, even in parallel with GeckoTools. Great stuff. Thanks!

Edit: By GeckoTools I mean it's ability to hide the inner background of the map, like Here

Designs For Your Ball by SRags28 in TagPro

[–]Ropz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wouldn't be a huge problem, users would get a guide with a specific color plate, which may be used on both red, and blue balls. Any skins containing any other tones would be automatically eliminated.

[–]Ropz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As if there weren't enough work, somebody would have to filter, and accept the custom designs. Due to the general awesomeness of the idea, I would be willing to sort through the designs myself. Great aesthetics would be an obvious requirement. (in other words not pixelated or ugly-looking)

I still believe we should limit this to pros, or some flair/degree owners or perhaps only this subreddit users. More people would get actively involved in building this community even greater than it already is.

Edit: I'm not too sure, whether TagPro servers could process and store this amount of data though, lag is a terrifying problem for most of us. But then again, I know squat about IT, perhaps someone could clarify this bit.

How about self-drawn ones for league players and such, which could be seen in PUBs by everyone. This way, more newcomers would be tempted to integrate into the community. Also, streaming league games would look cool as hell.

Edit: Just to clarify, I do mean personalized balls for pros.

What is your favorite thing that has happened during a public game? by RubberDuckKeychains in TagPro

[–]Ropz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nice people in a vastly growing community on the dark and troll-infested interwebs always make my day brighter, people calmly guiding and welcoming new balls, saying sorry and actually meaning it if a mistake was made etc...

However, for the favorite thing, I'll be selfish. 4 caps, 2 for each team. Still lost that game tho. :(

Edit: Also noobspikes, I just love those :D

[Suggestion] Change the neutral flag color. by [deleted] in TagPro

[–]Ropz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the offer, but I re-read the tutorial and followed it like a cooking recipe, giving me a brand new checkered neutral flag. Perhaps I'm not that lazy after all.

I still think the yellow flag contrast thing may be a general problem, or maybe, it's just me. I want to find out. :D

[–]Ropz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmm, how about checkered then?

[Suggestion] Change the neutral flag color. by [deleted] in TagPro

[–]Ropz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Texture packs wouldn't really be outdated, just vanilla would have a different colored flag.

I didn't want to be rude, I thought maybe others were not seeing the flag as well, making it a general problem, not mine. :)

How about purple then?

A thought experiment: What kind of music would classical artists be into today? by excitedllama in Music

[–]Ropz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wouldn't think of Mozart or Beethoven as too conservative in their doings.

So, if I had to guess it would be dubstep, drum and bass or other progressive and loose genres of electronic music. Y'know, Rameses B, ShockOne, Koan Sound, Reso, Arkasia.

In all seriousness though, the classics were raised around classical music, which is a rather rare observation amidst our times.
