Gully by ThrowinDemBows
So, Gully was this week’s winner in the voting thread. A clear favourite for all you Big Team Battle fans by the BTB Guru himself, TDB. It does actually rock some awesome aesthetics, like the pictured crane, and the not-so-pictured battleship which helps add to the atmosphere of a dockyard. I remember when TDB…<story trails off for about 15 minutes> and then I said, ”you need to open up the middle area so I can play with my ghost” and that’s how Gully came to be.

Cold Storage by TimmyPanic and dt192
Our next victor this time round was actually a veto’d entry by myself as the other 182731982 maps decided to all tie with one nomination. I personally rather enjoyed this from an aesthetical point of view. I hate the original H3 map Cold Storage, but I do recognise the amount of accuracy and effort that has gone into this map to make it such a successful remake. If this had entered in the ‘Forgotten Treasures II’ competition we had rolling, surely this would have secured a podium position.

Purificaiton by iTz Longshot
And finally, we have Purification, an absolutely astonishing, aesthetical, asymmetric wonder designed for 1v1 showdowns and 2v2 duels. This map really does combine Forge World pieces and the sea nicely together and for once with a map… I’m genuinely lost for words on how to comment on its awesomeness.
(inorite? I just said I’m lost for words.)

So the genuine article was fairly short, and whilst you’re all looking for those non-existant 10 Troll Faces, I’m sat here chuckling away wondering how long it will actually take for you to all realise these just don’t exist. If you’ve read this far, please don’t spoil my fun and tell everybody they don’t exist… please?

Apologies to iTz Longshot, TimmyPanic, dt192 and ThrowinDemBows for the childish immation article that took 30 minutes of your air time prior to this :)
I did a naughty... (Spoilered)

Due to popular demand and irrefutable amount of nagging (by one person, that mentioned it once… maybe twice) I’m going to scrap FHF this time and publish a completely rogue article to see what mischief I can cause within the Staff Room in the Hub. TROLLOLOLOL.
So apologies to iTz Longshot, TimmyPanic and dt192 for securing places with Purification and Cold Storage remake. I say “securing” loosely obviously because they’re not going to be in this article… at all. Oh dear.
Oh… and that ThrowinDemBowsBros, well he can just go himself. Yes Sarge, I stole your word for censorship in the name of everything BUT professionalism.
So… who caused this catastrophic article to grace the very front page? It was none other than that icky Review Hub Loyal; PacMonster1. So by all means, if you have a moment, go and abuse him until he cries like the [WAKA WAKA WAKA] he is.
Anyway, as you all know… I’m from Britain, and if you didn’t already know… well, couldn’t you guess? I believe my location is beside the point though as it’s not particularly MY location that’s important.
That’s right my fellow Hubblebutts, (MS word tells me that isn’t a word, I’m gonna go delete the dictionary to show it who’s boss… brb) …………………………………………………………………… (done), the location of Troll face is. Throughout the last 4 weeks and as of 1 second ago, I’ve hidden 10 Troll faces throughout all the public forums of Forge Hub… I’m actually surprised no one stumbled across them, or maybe you guys did but didn’t say anything cause I’m just a god damn troll? The first person to locate all 10 Troll faces, will get a special prize. I don’t even know what the prize is yet, but if you don’t live too far (not that distance actually matters), I may actually just mail you a cookie and you can be like “WOAH COOL STORY BRO, I HAZ REAL INTERNETZ COOKIE!”
Speaking of food, I think you can all agree that this illustration of a Salami is [SAUSAGE-ing] hilarious. The fact that that comes with Microsoft Word as a clip art image is unbelievably retarded. I wonder what the conversation was that took place as the illustrator presented that…
Illustrator: “Hey guys, I’ve been doodling around for clip art… and I think I have a really good picture of a penis going down here.”
Project Manager: “A penis… really? You want to put a PENIS on a child’s software program.”
Illustrator: “But… just look at it”
<illustrator presents a semi-erect, half drawn cartoon penis>
Project Manager: “LOL”
Illustrator: “Did you just say ‘el-oh-el’?”
Project Manager: “...”
Illustrator: “So can we use it?”
Project Manager: “Turn it into a Salami”
<Illustrator draws 3? Circles below penis>
Illustrator: “Done.”
I forgot what we were actually talking about now? Oh and before this article(?) comes to a close, please do not just reply with “Stevo/Steve, are you drunk?” because no, it’s Sunday and I’ve only been up two hours. Therefore, I cannot drink… my overly abused body cannot hack it anymore.
You can thank Reflex Ion and SargentSarcasm for proof-reading this awesome article and giving it the thumbs up.
And uhh… that’s me done I guess. Congratulations to the other two guys who totally should have a dedicated article for their maps but obviously don’t thanks to PacMonster1.
