Qror

**Qror** (pronounced Q-roar) is a respected Generation 1 tagger who joined in April 2013. Despite being a steady contributor and even reaching the legendary Hale's Own rank, Qror was a very low-key presence on the site, as he rarely commented on other's tags. He is a textbook example of the strong, silent type of tagger whose tagging ethic eventually saw grand achievement after enough time and investment despite never dipping more than a toe into the tagging community.

## History

Qror joined TF2Tags on April 27th, 2013, though it wasn't for awhile until he would start tagging regularly. He made two tags that day, and wouldn't tag again until the next month, making one tag on May 11th, then one on July 28th, and then two on August 27th. It was around this time that Qror would start to tag more regularly, with the next tag he posted being on September 2nd, and then posting again a few times during the month. His activity would increase even more in October before dropping off more in November, December, and January. On January 17th, 2014, Qror made a tag and then disappeared from the site.

Qror would reappear in October of that year, and he would maintain his few tags a month style. However, it was in November 2014 when Qror would actually start to tag regularly, making multiple pages of tags that month. By the end of December, he would reach around 950 crits.

In 2015, Qror would begin to his his stride as he resumed his regular activity. By March, he had nearly doubled his score from December. Qror through the first half of 2015 would gradually build a reputation for being a hardworking tagger, cultivating his few tags for successful gains, and for this he became respected despite having an overall low-key presence on the site.

When TF2Tags entered the part of its history that saw the advent of the community and its numerous historical events, Qror preferred not sit back and just make funny tags that people liked. He made no comment in regards to the Racist Anon Incident, nor the advent of Missbombing by Teaquin, nor Team Legownz, nor the Mobile-Friendly Update or Banning of AFI fiascos (though he did ask what was going on in the latter). He simply made tags and ignored the bullshit.

However, that isn't to say that Qror kept out of the community entirely. He, like many other Generation 1 taggers, would complain about L'Étranger during his Dickhead George incident, with Qror claiming that he was for once glad that the daily submission limits existed. In the infamous fallout of the Banning of Sensible Haircut, Qror made a tag making fun of the drama that was occurring on the site, but did not partake in the drama itself. He, like many others, would be confused following the brief but chaotic Ulyssesstorm. During the Taggenings, he made a joke about the situation (though was more making fun of himself and his relatively low activity compared to everyone else), but wasn't panicked about the situation at all. He simply did as he always did and made some tags.

By the end of December 2015, Qror had reached almost 4900 crits, and in January would handily claim the profile rank of Epic. During the New Tagger Riots, Qror would keep mostly quiet, but showcased that he was against the rapid influx of new taggers by criticizing Mr. Copycat's defense of them, where Copycat likened hating new taggers to hating immigrants. By March 2016, his score would shoot up to 6000 crits. As time wore on, however, Qror would become increasingly concerned about the state of the site, and in May of 2016 stated that he believed the site would be better off if more tags were about funny or creative renames instead of spamming inside jokes (a.k.a. using the site for what it was originally intended). This sparked a discussion where people largely agreed with him, including Bonkspenser who believed that Qror deserved to be the 7th person to reach Hale's Own instead of him. Talks of certain taggers such as Makin' Bacon (for overuse of injokes) and Blitzkrieg (for bad English) harming the site ensued. Makin' would eventually try and do better, but his efforts to effect those other than himself went nowhere.

By August, Qror had attained 7700 points and the Australian rank, and was slowly but surely reaching Hale's Own. In September, he reacted to Ulysses's permanent ban with irreverence, sadly looking upon everyone who was apologizing for not letting him run around and do whatever he likes "because his life is shit". Around this same time, Qror's activity was also lessening. It is noted that by November 21st, 2016, he had still not reached Hale's Own, though he was close. He did, however, eventually achieve it. Qror never announced his achievement, being the quiet and humble man he was, but it is assumed that he had finally reached Hale's at some point between November 21st and December 20th, for the latter date was when Qror quietly left the site. He would return to post one tag on March 1st of 2017 and then March 3rd, but following this he left for good, ending his tagging career respected by his peers for his clever puns and hardworking nature.

## Style

Qror's main style of tagging revolved around puns, which were often haled for being quite clever, some would say to the point of rivaling Relk\_Cehi or Beelzebuzz in terms of quality. However, there is evidence that Qror himself wasn't really that fond of this style. In response to when he would hit Hale's Own, Qror replied with "Soon enough, once I come up with more oh-so-creative puns and cheese my way to 9000 points or w/e the requirement was". However, this is purely speculative.

Qror is also known for having an understated but still present dislike for TF2Tags injokes, memes, and trends, and largely prefers that TF2Tags be used like it was originally intended (which is a common sentiment among Generation 1 taggers). In this same vein, he finds all the drama and controversies to be largely silly and pointless to get involved with. Unlike people like Relk (for trends) and Frapple (for drama), however, Qror stayed out of it and actually *didn't* continuously grandstand about not doing it, instead just keeping quiet.

## Relationships

What relationships lmao.

In all seriousness, Qror's ties to other taggers and the community at large is largely nonexistent, and this was true even during his time as an active tagger. After leaving the community in December 2016, he was largely never heard from again by any taggers. He doesn't even have any taggers friended on Steam. A shame, for people largely look back upon him and his tags fondly.
