I bought the Ham Shank :)

Firstly, I love the spray, will make sure to use it all the time.

My spreading of the Ham is going alright now, starting to get some members trickling it. The matter still remains of peoples lack of interest, and I think a group server campaign will pay dividends; I'm currently thinking this Sunday for the date and so will schedule the event, if numbers are too low then we will have to rebook.

Video editors such as 'Sony Vegas' and 'Adobe After Effects' have rendering features to reduce file size, however I appreciate their price (or difficulty getting them otherwise). An alternative is Microsoft encoder which may be worth a look.

We can discuss map design at a later date, for the moment I am still learning the process and tool usage.

On a side note, I have created a forum for general chat which would be a better place to discuss matters with the built in subscribe feature.

Hammen.

Alright, I've set that spray (nice work Horse M.D., I like it a lot).
I've also been trying to spread out the word of Ham, but still people are very unprepared to talk about a new religion. I shall join you in our crusade to convert people to the Ham on the scheduled date.
About the file sharing issue, maybe we can write down a tutorial about how to compress the clips without quality loss. I guess after that we can just use MediaFire or something like that.
I've been thinking about the map layout as well, but I guess we all have to discuss it. Let's try not to make it some flat, cubic map and actually put some work into it! xD
I've been thinking about a badlands styled map, but the first question is: what gamemode?
But we better postpone this to later, first we have to spread the word of Ham.
Hammen, and may the Ham be with you.

I made a ham awareness spray. It's not great, but then again, it's been years since I've done art. You can find it here [dl.dropboxusercontent.com].

Had the same thought myself Horse. My amazing forces still showing people the way, but somewhat met by resistance due to my outnumbered view. I shall schedule a date for the spread of Ham.

I think when it comes down to joining something, people are probably more likely to join if there's more than one person saying about it at a time - perhaps it would be an idea for us all (where possible) to join a specific server at around a specific time?

Ham recruitment becoming increasingly difficult!

Sounds good. We will have to find a way to share files (maybe skype or a server).

Alright, I can get around After Effects fairly easily, so I can try to make the montage once we get enough clips (to fill about 10 minutes or so, montage and fancy animations included).

Well I enjoy editing clips together, but am not good at montages; so it is probably best if I don't. I will also start recording some footage of Ham shanks.

Yeah, I remember you talking about it!
I'll start gathering some footage, you guys should do that as well :)
I can edit the video, but if there is anyone else interested in editing speak up and I'll send you the footage I collect.

Yes, I think I mentioned that yesterday. We should definately do a montage :D

And how about a Ham kill montage? Like a compilation of Ham kills and Ham streaks?

I know xD I noticed as soon as I read my comment
Also, thanks to Matt for making me a mod :)

The Ham Is Holy, don't you mean you'll look into HAMmer? o3o

Try to put some ham models around, if you can, like a giant ham over a control point or something xD
Maybe I'll look into Hammer as well, see if I can help out a little.

Looking at how to make the Ham map.

If you make those, put them on GameBanana, some people are bound to pick it up :)

We should have sprays specifically for spreading the word of the Ham.

Remember to pass it along, this has to be big!
