## History

### Rock Bottom

Shortly after Dr. Dos announced the Tagpocalypse in January of 2018, Robert quickly made plans to either buy the site from Dos or to create a new one entirely, with him replacing Dos as the head administrator and his elder brother replacing Dos as site coder. His policy would be simple: What Dos did most of the time? Do the opposite. Be engaged with the community, listen to their feedback, provide the site with complete freedom of speech, have moderators and administrators to deal with missbombs. There was just one problem: He was effectively exiled from the community for reasons including but not limited to: his missbombing misadventures on the original site, very long and convoluted drama regarding Ulysses, and jokes of pedophilia that went *way too far* and were taken *way too seriously*. With all of this in mind, Robert's plans were effectively kaput, and for the rest of 2018 he didn't speak of the matter whatsoever.

This changed when the Tagpocalypse arrived one year later, when after the site's closure he revealed to the community (or, rather Ulysses did at his behest) that he *was* creating a new site from the bottom-up, with his brother Arthur coding it as a side project. The community's reaction was mixed. While those who had no problem with Robert were overjoyed at this news, those who had exiled him were extremely hesitant to go along with the plan. Talks of boycotting the new site, creating a competing tags site, and raiding the new site were just some of the ideas passed around.

### The Glorious Return

As time wore on, a collaborative attempt would be made in December of 2019 to bring Robert back into the community. Ulysses would make it a personal mission to get others to not think of Robert in a bad light despite what he had done to him, while Walumancer and Therister worked together with Robert to get him back in good standing with the rest of the TF2Tags community.

The process was slow. Initially, Robert was brought in using an alternate account under a different name, with a cover story of being a Russian who had met Walumancer on the Girls Frontline subreddit that wanted to take part in the Wahfia. He was supposed to stick to this story and speak in a Russian accent until people grew comfortable enough with him to have him be revealed as TGR. This did not go well as Robert would never stick to the accent. When people found out, a different approach was taken. He would not be allowed to speak in any channels bar the game night voice chat. As people eventually started to interact with Robert more and more, they eventually realized that he was not the man they thought him to be, and was gradually accepted back into the community a few months in to 2020.

By June 2020, Robert had been fully accepted back into the TF2Tags community through his advocates' efforts, with people who once despised him now calling him their friend. Though a couple Taggers would refuse to give Robert an inch, 99% of the community had forgiven his past actions and accepted them as both their leader and friend.

June was also the month when Tags.tf launched, and what a launch it was! Over the course of the month, thousands of tags would be made and 200 unique users would join the site. The success far surpassed Robert and Arthur's expectations, with the former being absolutely humbled that so many would find such a niche website worthy of being a part of. TF2Tags was back, and though features would still need to be added the tagging community thanked him collectively for restoring unto them the site they held so dear.

### Army Man

Robert was back, and for the first time he had a place, a people that cared for him and appreciated all he had done. Alas, Robert lives in Estonia, and Estonian citizens are required to spend 11 months in mandatory military service. On July 11th, 2020, Robert made an announcement on the Tags.tf Discord server. He thanked everyone for showing the site so much support, and that this first month and a third had been an absolute blast for him, but announced the circumstances of his temporary but long departure. He appointed his self-described right hand man Walumancer as the acting head administrator of Tags.tf until his return. Following this, he left. Though it was confirmed that he will have laptop usage after the first seven weeks of his conscription, it was unknown if he would have access to Discord during this time. Regardless, the community collectively wished him the best, with former enemies being perhaps the most tearful at this news.

Robert would, however, eventually make an early return on September 12th, two months after his departure, to glorious applause. He revealed that his superior officers frankly don't give a shit about him being online on his laptop during his free time, so he was now free to come back and continue administrating the site, albeit less active than before he was conscripted.

### The Great Disappearing

As of the 10th of october 2020, TheGamingBobby has gone missing. Some presume that he did it to finally fulfill his dream of a life free of dealing with retards, others assume that he just finally game ended himself to join his Kill Me Baby harem high in the sky (his favourite being [unnamed character]). Few actually know the truth in that he infiltrated the russian Spetsnaz to assassinate a high value target for the Estonian government.

## Style

TGRobert's style remains consistent with his original TF2Tags style. That is, he makes item sets with the same item set title item. Since Tags.tf has no set title system, he marks each set he makes with his (presumed) new representative item, the Pyro Mask. Though he only has five tags on the site as of now, two of them follow his style of making sets of a phrase and that which it rhymes with.

## Relationships

### AncientShed

AncientShed is TGRobert's older brother, so naturally he has known him for his entire life. However, as Arthur moved to Britain, the two grew distant over time. Robert proposed the idea of creating Tags.tf with Arthur as a means to grow closer to him. Though they are reported to have had many arguments during the site's development, it would seem that the plan has succeeded, with the byproduct of introducing Arthur to the wider TF2Tags community, who has taken him in with applause and celebration.

### L'Étranger

Tranger and Robert remain good friends that playfully bicker over various weeb shit together, particularly over the great ship vs. gun debate. What, expecting more? They're weebs! That's all you need to know.

### Therister

Therister played a key role in getting Robert accepted back into the TF2Tags community following his exile. The two remain the bestest of pals, and they both even got forced into their own nations' militaries around the exact same time! Isn't that just the sign of truly best friends? What's more, Robert used his Nep money to literally *fly to Singapore* to meet and stay with Therister (get this) *IN REAL LIFE.* This event was so earth-shattering that it nearly caused the tagging community to collapse in on itself.

They also love to dunk on Walumancer's book.

### Walumancer

Though they barely interacted on the original TF2Tags, and Walu only joined the Tags.tf moderation team at Ulysses's suggestion, Robert and Walu have grown to be extremely close. Walu was integral to getting Robert accepted back into the community, and they often discuss the various intricacies of firearms and their corresponding female robots, as well as politics, various world events, and the culture of each others' countries. Robert grew to trust Walu so much that he appointed him as the acting head administrator of Tags.tf for the duration of his conscription. He also plans to ~~kidnap~~ visit Walumancer IRL when he visits America following the end of his conscription.

He also reads and reviews Walu's book. He dunks on it constantly.

He has also shot an M1911 which Walu envies him for.

## Trivia

* TGR's profile picture is actually a reference to the Sociopath perk deck's final tier, "Showdown", from the game *Payday 2*.
