For the Followers of Hogar... (http://www.halo3forgery.org/forum/group.php?groupid=13)

To Previous Members of Hogar:
So, Too Human was announced at E3 and the demo was released. Too Human, as you may know, follows the storyline as, what it may seem, a futuristic game, and yet at the same time follows that of Norse Mythology and whatnot. This made me think back to the earlier days of Halo 3 Forgery: The days of Hogar.
So, now that Too Human is coming along, I thought it would be the perfect time to revive Hogar. For those that remember Hogar, our "Hogar"-themed games were some of our most epic moments: Most epic quotes and gametypes, even with the limited knowledge of Forging that we all possessed.

To People Unaware of Hogar:
I know alot of people are completely unaware of who Hogar is. Hogar, for the most part, was just some name I would yell out: "For Hogar!" and the like. Finally someone asked me who Hogar was.
"Too hell if I know," I replied. Just some random name that I came up with. It sounds like a Norse God." From there we just evolved Hogar: Hogar, the Norse God of Warfare! From there it evolved into gametypes revolving around Hogar: Maps revolving around Hogar: Namely, the Saxons map, with epic Capture the Flag and Territories games.

Revival of Hogar:
After I cleaned out my Fileshare, all of Hogar was lost: The gametypes, the maps. Eventually, the memory and enjoyment that came from Hogar was lost. No one mentioned Hogar, let alone played for Hogar. This, my friends, is the revival of Hogar and the calling for new members. To Forge new Hogar-themed maps: host nights for Hogar gaming. Revive all that is Hogar.

End Notes:

For now, I would like to just bring in the old members: you know who you are. If you want to join, send me a message and I'll be the judge. I'm not saying we're not accepting people: Just that we're not openly accepting new people.
Seeing as I won't be actively on Halo3Forgery since I'm out of town until Saturday, send me an IM at shadow_lament@hotmail.com

For Hogar!~

Hogar, the Norse God of Warfare!
I believe that is "Hogar, the Norse God of Tiny Crates!"

And I definitely think we need to recreate the Saxons map.

I'd completely forgotten about that.:D That was definately one of the greater moments of Hogar.

Only a map as horrible as T-Virus could spawn something as epic as Hogar.

Hmmm I was wondering.... What class would Hogar be in Too Human?

Ganye

Hogar's a God... He wouldn't be a class. But if I had to choose which class he would best fit: Berserker.

EDIT: When I say it would be the perfect time to revive Hogar, I moreso mean the essence of Hogar: For example, randomly yelling "FOR HOGAR!"

So, Too Human is tomorrow. Unfortunately, for a lack of money, I won't be able to get it. I completely forgot it was being released on the 18th so I bought Civ: Revolution and GH3. However, with the increase in members in the forums, active or otherwise, I would like to start bringing new people into the League of Hogar: So, if you would like to join, I'm reviving this thread. I'd really like to see some of the greater forgers in the group to help with the making and designing of the Hogar maps.

I sure as Hell wont be able to help you forge it, but I can help test it.

Well then join teh group: I'll be posting links to maps for testing there rather then on the forums.

There were two pages: My post just happened to be on the second page, so it looked like I started a new topic.:p

I'm still in this, naturally. And I will most likely be getting Too Human on Tuesday (8/19), which is, I believe, the day it comes out, not the 19th. Either way, I will see those of you who do get it online.

Ganye, how was that first Hogar map we started coming along? We should get back together and finish that up (since you didn't save my last changes :mad:).

Not sure if I still have that... I'll check. I went through and cleared out a lot of WIP maps that I hadn't touched in awhile without checking them.:thumbdown: I'll look later, though.

You should really stop doing that, since that is how the last Hogar map got erased as well. I have a mid-way copy of it, but it is nothing near what it was. I'm going to have to stop trusting you with maps. ;) I still have WIP maps from before interlocking was discovered. :D
