| 00:03 | < afny|fullscreen> | sweet |
| 00:04 | < afny|fullscreen> | my only suggestions would be maybe make the clear slopes solid |
| 00:04 | < afny|fullscreen> | and take out the pins from the shoulders mounts |
| 00:04 | < afny|fullscreen> | love the light gray armature with the dark plates |
| 00:07 | < afny|fullscreen> | well |
| 00:07 | < afny|fullscreen> | assuming the back mounts are missile launcher |
| 00:07 | < afny|fullscreen> | things. |
| 00:07 | < afny|fullscreen> | are they supposed to be missile launchers or ten separate howitzer barrels? |
| 00:12 | | Soren|Away is now known as Soren |
| 00:12 | < Soren> | Phwuh. |
| 00:12 | < Soren> | Got sucked into a phone call. |
| 00:12 | < Soren> | But I return. |
| 00:15 | < Ceddo> | afny|fullscreen: LRM5 racks. |
| 00:15 | < Ceddo> | And: Heya Soren! |
| 00:15 | < Ceddo> | I do have a question. |
| 00:15 | < Ceddo> | Do you know whether there's a larger axehead? |
| 00:15 | < Ceddo> | The clip-on one I use is ... small. |
| 00:15 | < afny|fullscreen> | there's straight up medieval polearms |
| 00:16 | < afny|fullscreen> | but they have a long handle |
| 00:16 | < Ceddo> | Those look poopy, I think. |
| 00:16 | < Soren> | Yeah, there are options, but I doubt they are exactly what you want. |
| 00:16 | < Soren> | precisely |
| 00:16 | < Ceddo> | I really just want that clip-on one in x1.5. :D |
| 00:16 | < Soren> | heh. |
| 00:16 | < Soren> | oh! you could try those large fang bits. |
| 00:17 | < Soren> | two of those, joined in the middle. |
| 00:17 | < Ceddo> | Mhmm. |
| 00:17 | < Ceddo> | That makes for a lovely greataxe! |
| 00:17 | < Ceddo> | But for a poopy halberd. |
| 00:17 | < Soren> | yeah, there are no good options. |
| 00:17 | < Soren> | crapful, even. |
| 00:17 | < Ceddo> | afny|fullscreen: The clear slopes are the cockpit. And I am out of grey slops anyway. :D |
| 00:18 | < afny|fullscreen> | I'm anti-clear cockpit |
| 00:18 | < Ceddo> | I do have black ones, though ... |
| 00:18 | < afny|fullscreen> | unless your mech has a cockpit the size of a large plane |
| 00:18 | < Soren> | Okay, so there was talk of Starcrafts. |
| 00:18 | < Ceddo> | I am not. |
| 00:18 | < afny|fullscreen> | it works on my mac now! |
| 00:18 | < afny|fullscreen> | it doesn't crash! |
| 00:18 | < Soren> | Cedric, you want in on this action? |
| 00:18 | < afny|fullscreen> | I suck big time though! |
| 00:18 | < Soren> | me too! |
| 00:18 | < afny|fullscreen> | I tried zerg again against a computer |
| 00:18 | < Soren> | So if you're marginally competent, you can roll our faces like whoa. |
| 00:18 | < Ceddo> | I would need too much Vespine gas. |
| 00:18 | < afny|fullscreen> | It was like...what do I do with these drones |
| 00:19 | | afny|fullscreen is now known as afny |
| 00:19 | < Soren> | stoner. |
| 00:19 | < Ceddo> | As in, I don't have SC installed. And SC2, didn't bother getting it. |
| 00:19 | <~Noah> | http://youtu.be/TNLKhkAa5II |
| 00:19 | < Soren> | alas. |
| 00:19 | < Soren> | Noah? You wanna take our dignity, and possibly our pants? |
| 00:19 | < afny> | what about you noah |
| 00:20 | < afny> | are you a starcraft lord |
| 00:20 | < afny> | we need four people |
| 00:20 | < afny> | for a MONOBATTLE |
| 00:20 | < Soren> | hee. |
| 00:20 | <~Noah> | Sorreh Brah |
| 00:21 | < afny> | br |
| 00:21 | <~Noah> | I haven't played Starcraft in ages, and I don't own either of them |
| 00:21 | < afny> | b |
| 00:21 | < afny> | ] |
| 00:21 | <~Noah> | But call me when you assholes wanna lay down some Diablo 2 |
| 00:22 | < Soren> | heh. |
| 00:23 | < afny> | back |
| 00:25 | < Ceddo> | Is it SC 1 or 2? |
| 00:25 | < Soren> | I've got both, but Af only has 1. |
| 00:27 | < Soren> | I can rock either. |
| 00:28 | < Ceddo> | Isn't that abandonware? |
| 00:28 | | afny|away [afny@Nightstar-42c41d95.res.rr.com] has joined #mf0 |
| 00:28 | < Soren> | No, you can still pay money for it. |
| 00:28 | < afny|away> | bnet update apparently |
| 00:28 | < afny|away> | had to restart my client |
| 00:28 | | afny|away is now known as afny|pc |
| 00:28 | < Ceddo> | Uhm. |
| 00:28 | < Soren> | and it's still more-or-less supported. |
| 00:28 | < Ceddo> | Pirate fees? :D |
| 00:28 | <~Noah> | And it's part of battle.net, so valid keys are required |
| 00:28 | < Ceddo> | Oh, boo. |
| 00:28 | < afny|pc> | dont think that's strictly true |
| 00:28 | < afny|pc> | I think the cd key shit is cracked |
| 00:28 | < afny|pc> | and there are unlimited keys |
| 00:28 | < afny|pc> | but I don't remember precisely how that works |
| 00:29 | < Soren> | it's just fifteen bucks now, though, so I went and got myself a copy a while ago. |
| 00:29 | < Soren> | for nostalgias. |
| 00:29 | < Ceddo> | Yeah ... I'll try my hand at a lime/brown 'frame. |
| 00:29 | | * Soren looks over on his desk |
| 00:29 | < Soren> | beat you. |
| 00:30 | < Ceddo> | Meh. :P |
| 00:30 | < Soren> | take heart, it's a pretty crappy one. |
| 00:30 | < Soren> | Okay, I think we're going periscope down for some space alien speed chess. |
| 00:30 | <~Noah> | Dunno, but I wouldn't doubt blizzard to still ban pirates for Starcraft or even Warcraft 2 |
| 00:31 | < afny|pc> | did you crash? |
| 00:31 | < Soren> | yeah. |
| 00:31 | < Ceddo> | You should use teamspeak. |
| 00:32 | < Soren> | well, accidentally closed, but for the sake of my dignity let's say it was a crash. |
| 00:32 | < Soren> | Okay. |
| 00:32 | < Ceddo> | *fires up TS.* |
| 00:32 | < afny|pc> | I dont have ts on my mac |
| 00:32 | < afny|pc> | and I need my headphones to hear |
| 00:32 | < afny|pc> | YOU MUST CONSTRUCT ADDIONTAL PYLONS |
| 00:32 | < Soren> | remade! |
| 00:33 | < Ceddo> | Do it. |
| 00:33 | < Ceddo> | I don't care. |
| 00:33 | < Ceddo> | It's Teamspeak time. |
| 00:33 | < afny|pc> | nah son |
| 00:33 | < afny|pc> | we're gettin srs |
| 00:33 | < Ceddo> | Boo. |
| 00:33 | < Soren> | Cedric's just hoping I teach him some exciting new words. |
| 00:33 | < Soren> | okay. We shall return in 30. |
| 00:33 | < Ceddo> | I love words. |
| 00:33 | < Ceddo> | HF & GL. |

| 00:44 | < KarolineDianne> | Wassup guys |
| 00:45 | < KarolineDianne> | I made another 250-ish piece order |
| 00:45 | < KarolineDianne> | :I |
| 00:45 | < Ceddo> | They're all gone, playing Starcraft. :D |
| 00:45 | < Ceddo> | So there's just me. And I am playing around with lime/brown 'frames. |
| 00:47 | < KarolineDianne> | Just me and Ceddo. I got my dark blue/gray Frame |
| 00:47 | < Ceddo> | Got pictures? |
| 00:50 | < KarolineDianne> | It's the Vulture I showed the other day. |
| 00:50 | < KarolineDianne> | Btw your'e Cedric, right, just with a new nickname? |
| 00:50 | | * KarolineDianne may be making horrible assumptions |
| 00:51 | < Ceddo> | Exactly. |
| 00:57 | | Ceddo [Ced@Nightstar-8905ff85.adsl.alicedsl.de] has quit [Connection reset by peer] |
| 00:58 | | Ceddo [Ced@Nightstar-8905ff85.adsl.alicedsl.de] has joined #mf0 |
| 00:59 | < KarolineDianne> | I thought so. But yeah, It's the same one I showed you the other day. |
| 01:00 | < KarolineDianne> | I ordered new pieces, though. I ran out of clips and bar pieces. I want to make one of my UF-15 Crane's |
| 01:01 | < Ceddo> | I know that feel. :D |
| 01:01 | < Ceddo> | I am all out of 1x1 vertical clip plates in black. |
| 01:01 | <~Noah> | Only 250 pieces Karo? |
| 01:01 | < Ceddo> | And my black travis bricks are down to 2 (of 75?). |
| 01:02 | <~Noah> | I ordered like twice that plus sum |
| 01:04 | < KarolineDianne> | Sadly, the store I ordered from had -no- travis bricks... At all. |
| 01:04 | < KarolineDianne> | And I really didn't want to split my order between two bills. |
| 01:07 | < Ceddo> | Ugh, I just failed at life. |
| 01:07 | < Ceddo> | As in, I knocked over a sorting tray. |
| 01:07 | < Ceddo> | Guess what's not sorted anymore. |
| 01:08 | <~Noah> | Your pieces formerly known as sorted? |
| 01:08 | < Ceddo> | PFKASS. Yes. |
| 01:16 | < KarolineDianne> | D: |
| 01:17 | | * KarolineDianne doesn't really sort her stuff beyond 'bag of useful blocks' and 'bag of useful special blocks, like clips and axles and stuff' |
| 01:18 | < Soren> | HOOOOO |
| 01:18 | < afny|pc> | shit man |
| 01:18 | < afny|pc> | that game is crazy |
| 01:18 | < afny|pc> | I forgot how nuts endgame gets |
| 01:18 | < Ceddo> | Heh. |
| 01:18 | < afny|pc> | thats the first time I havent crashed 15 minutes in |
| 01:18 | < Soren> | Man, and if I hadn't misread my energy, I woulda shanked you. |
| 01:18 | < afny|pc> | when |
| 01:18 | < afny|pc> | I couldnt even keep TRACK of my energy |
| 01:18 | < afny|pc> | you mean your food? |
| 01:19 | < afny|pc> | or like |
| 01:19 | < afny|pc> | unit energy |
| 01:19 | < Ceddo> | Depot size? |
| 01:19 | < Soren> | battlecruiser+ yamato. I was going to kill your pylon powering those cannons on your expansion. |
| 01:19 | < Ceddo> | Support units? |
| 01:19 | < Ceddo> | Yamato = <3 |
| 01:19 | < Soren> | then dropship, tanks, your general turbo-newbie. |
| 01:19 | < Ceddo> | "whoooo KAZAAM" |
| 01:19 | < afny|pc> | I got lucky with two early rushes |
| 01:19 | < afny|pc> | first zealots then dts |
| 01:19 | < Soren> | Then something when terribly, pathetically wrong. |
| 01:19 | < Soren> | yeah\ |
| 01:20 | < afny|pc> | yeah I thought my carriers were dead from yamatos for sure |
| 01:20 | < Soren> | zealot->DT is beastly. |
| 01:20 | < afny|pc> | cause I had no corsairs |
| 01:20 | < afny|pc> | im not entirely sure what to do against yamato |
| 01:20 | < afny|pc> | if you got it up and running |
| 01:20 | < afny|pc> | I was going to go templars |
| 01:20 | < Soren> | yeah, I was gonna EMP, then Yamato. |
| 01:20 | < Soren> | Man. |
| 01:20 | < Soren> | Good game. |
| 01:20 | < KarolineDianne> | Heya gaiz |
| 01:20 | < afny|pc> | I only had one shield bat at that expo |
| 01:20 | < Ceddo> | 3 wide Chub torsos are fun. |
| 01:20 | < afny|pc> | shield bats aren't |
| 01:20 | < afny|pc> | automatic right? |
| 01:20 | < Soren> | nope. |
| 01:20 | < afny|pc> | fuck |
| 01:20 | < afny|pc> | that's so old school |
| 01:21 | < afny|pc> | i'm glad I didn't get emped |
| 01:21 | < Soren> | yeah, but I gotta pick strategies that don't involve precise control I can fuck up. |
| 01:21 | < afny|pc> | same |
| 01:21 | < afny|pc> | if I had lost early game |
| 01:21 | < afny|pc> | I would've been sooo done |
| 01:21 | < Soren> | I should have waited, or tried to Firebat rush you. |
| 01:21 | < Soren> | Firebats are crazy good against PRotoss. |
| 01:21 | < afny|pc> | my expo was strong early but my base wasn't against a firebat rush |
| 01:22 | < afny|pc> | yeah I didn't know what to do against firebats |
| 01:22 | < Soren> | ....actually, Firebat/Vulture could have ROCKED |
| 01:22 | < afny|pc> | I played a game against a computer earlier |
| 01:22 | < Soren> | I should have gone that. |
| 01:22 | < afny|pc> | and I just got steamrolled by firebats/medics over and over |
| 01:23 | < Soren> | But I was all FFFFFUUUUUUU after that rush, so I went for tanks |
| 01:23 | < Ceddo> | I played a SC IRC rpg once. |
| 01:23 | < Soren> | You're kinda playing one now. |
| 01:23 | < afny|pc> | I don't know if you noticed but |
| 01:23 | < Soren> | as a spectator, but still. |
| 01:23 | < afny|pc> | I had a single shuttle |
| 01:23 | < afny|pc> | really late in the game |
| 01:23 | < Ceddo> | Yeah, I guess. |
| 01:23 | < afny|pc> | I was SO sneaky with that DT drop |
| 01:23 | < Soren> | hee. |
| 01:23 | < afny|pc> | it ALMOST died to valks |
| 01:23 | < afny|pc> | before I remembered to let them out |
| 01:23 | < afny|pc> | then it died to valks. |
| 01:24 | < Soren> | Yeah, I was planning to transition to valkyries once I managed to get your carriers. |
| 01:24 | < Ceddo> | Valkyries are <3. |
| 01:24 | < Soren> | carriers against valkyries - that's a race the Terran always wins. |
| 01:25 | < Ceddo> | Soren? |
| 01:25 | < Ceddo> | Can you give me a link to your 3 wide Chub? |
| 01:25 | < Soren> | what's up? |
| 01:25 | < afny|pc> | yeah if those carriers didn't win I had no idea what to do next. Arbiters if I could destroy enough of your detect |
| 01:26 | < afny|pc> | the ST-06? |
| 01:26 | < Ceddo> | Yah. |
| 01:26 | < afny|pc> | or |
| 01:26 | < afny|pc> | 07 |
| 01:26 | < afny|pc> | I forget which |
| 01:26 | < Ceddo> | Nah, predecessor. 07 is the Chub. |
| 01:26 | < Soren> | 06. |
| 01:26 | < Soren> | yeah |
| 01:26 | < afny|pc> | wait |
| 01:26 | < afny|pc> | is the rumble monkey |
| 01:26 | < afny|pc> | 09? |
| 01:26 | < afny|pc> | or 08? |
| 01:26 | < Ceddo> | Greg snatched 09 with the Iguana. :D |
| 01:27 | < Soren> | no, the Rumble Monkey has been 09 for a long-ass time |
| 01:27 | < Ceddo> | SNIPED. |
| 01:27 | < afny|pc> | yeah, that's why I was momentarily confused about the chub |
| 01:27 | < afny|pc> | what's the 08 model? |
| 01:27 | < Ceddo> | Bwahahahaha. I just caused a chainreaction in the model. |
| 01:27 | < Ceddo> | Now the torso can be rotated seperate from the pelvis and head. |
| 01:28 | < Ceddo> | But the pelvis and head are joined. |
| 01:28 | < Ceddo> | Good 4L shaft. |
| 01:28 | < Soren> | the 08 is an amphib. I mighta taken a pic a while back. |
| 01:28 | | * KarolineDianne 's old strategy was to build up an army of zealots and dark templars, keep them in her base, then send an Arbiter with a whole bunch of illusion clones. Send it into the enemy base, and then recall the entire army. |
| 01:28 | < afny|pc> | Does it look like an Acguy? |
| 01:29 | < Soren> | alas, it does not. |
| 01:29 | < afny|pc> | Damn |
| 01:30 | < Soren> | Karoline: that's a tough one. There's really no way to deal besides early pressure. |
| 01:30 | < afny|pc> | pretty hard to get an arbiter before you get rolled if you don't make any offensive plays early though |
| 01:31 | < KarolineDianne> | It worked for me a whole lot. |
| 01:32 | < Soren> | I could see it. |
| 01:32 | < KarolineDianne> | Enemy was like 'wat the hell I can't get into her base there's a billion turrets here wtf' and I went 'lololol' and used that strategy and then they said 'holyfuck a billion arbiters oh my god why is there an entire army in my base aaaaah' and then I won |
| 01:33 | < KarolineDianne> | Then again I didn't really play online, only with my friends over lan. |
| 01:34 | < Soren> | See, I just rush to the most irritating thing I can, then nobody wants to play with you ever again. |
| 01:34 | < KarolineDianne> | I prefer more drawn out strategies. I hate the zerg-rush thing. |
| 01:34 | < afny|pc> | I do that in fighting games |
| 01:34 | < afny|pc> | The way I view it, there is nothing "cheap" in games until it gets patched out |
| 01:34 | < afny|pc> | then you can call it "cheap" |
| 01:35 | < Soren> | I love a good early game. |
| 01:35 | < Soren> | The balance of micro and macro is where the fun is for me. |
| 01:35 | < KarolineDianne> | The way I view it, if you do nothing but plow the opponent in the first five minutes with drones, you're not even playing the game. |
| 01:35 | < afny|pc> | literally every competitive player would disagree with you |
| 01:36 | < Soren> | Well, really early rushes are BM as fuck. |
| 01:36 | < Soren> | at least, in casual play. |
| 01:36 | < KarolineDianne> | BM? |
| 01:36 | < afny|pc> | bad manners |
| 01:36 | < afny|pc> | bowel movements |
| 01:36 | < KarolineDianne> | I find competitive play to be retarded, personally. I play to have fun, not to win. |
| 01:36 | < afny|pc> | broken monitors. |
| 01:36 | < Soren> | butt munchery |
| 01:36 | < KarolineDianne> | Winning is fun when it's satisfying and well earned over the course of an exciting game. |
| 01:36 | < afny|pc> | Nothing wrong with that, especially if you're just playing with friends |
| 01:37 | < afny|pc> | Some people try to do both, but it can definitely go over a line |
| 01:37 | < Soren> | I think a good game is one where playing to win and playing for fun are exactly the same thing. |
| 01:37 | < KarolineDianne> | Winning is not fun when it's 'haha I pull the rug out from under you and used cheesy tactics to munchkin my way to the finish line' |
| 01:37 | < afny|pc> | Yeah, but that's just putting artificial limits on the game |
| 01:37 | < afny|pc> | Like, okay, don't pick odd job if you're playing goldeneye |
| 01:37 | < afny|pc> | but with a game with actual depth, what you're describing is just good play. |
| 01:38 | < afny|pc> | and your opponent should feel like they're learning to be a better player if you're beating them |
| 01:38 | < Soren> | sparring ettiquette. |
| 01:38 | < afny|pc> | Yeah. Both players understand that any time they lose, they're getting better. |
| 01:38 | < afny|pc> | Because they're learning from the other player. |
| 01:38 | < KarolineDianne> | When someone beats me three minutes in with a zerg rush, I don't feel like I got beat by a better player. I feel like I got beat by some dick who threw sand in my eyes while we played volleyball. |
| 01:39 | < afny|pc> | Well you can defend against a rush |
| 01:39 | < Soren> | that's not what we're talking about. |
| 01:39 | < Soren> | there's cheese, and then there's aggressive play. |
| 01:39 | < afny|pc> | Early resource denial is a risk for people who choose to employ that strategy in any game |
| 01:39 | < afny|pc> | it isn't like a no-risk button to victory |
| 01:40 | < afny|pc> | it leaves you vulnerable |
| 01:40 | < Soren> | You can counter cheese by agreeing on a map with a long rush distance, by walling, and by having good situational awareness. |
| 01:40 | < afny|pc> | I thought you said "wailing". |
| 01:40 | <~Noah> | And not playing with Cheesemongerers. |
| 01:40 | < KarolineDianne> | One of my best games ever was a Dawn of War II match with my stepbrother. The game lasted forever and it was tense as hell. We had no idea who was going to win, we were literally at the very edge, pushing back and forth over the line in a desperate attempt to sieze victory |
| 01:41 | < Soren> | Well, yeah. I think 'have a buddy you can play low-stress games with' is rule 0. |
| 01:41 | < afny|pc> | You can't really rush in DawII because it's cap based |
| 01:41 | < KarolineDianne> | He ended up winning by a hair's bredth, but it was amazing. |
| 01:41 | < KarolineDianne> | I had a blast. |
| 01:41 | < KarolineDianne> | I was like... Dude, that rocked. |
| 01:41 | < afny|pc> | All this talk of cheese reminds me |
| 01:41 | < afny|pc> | ...that I have cheesecake. |
| 01:42 | < afny|pc> | ...brb |
| 01:42 | < KarolineDianne> | "So do I. |
| 01:42 | < Soren> | I have goat cheese. |
| 01:42 | < Soren> | mmm. |
| 01:43 | < KarolineDianne> | I have a rock |
| 01:44 | < afny|pc> | Goat based dairy products are the best |
| 01:44 | < Soren> | I think goat cheese beats rock. |
| 01:44 | < Soren> | I know, right? |
| 01:44 | < KarolineDianne> | I dunno |
| 01:44 | < afny|pc> | I'm all about goat milk |
| 01:45 | < KarolineDianne> | With the rock, I could hit you in the head and take your goat cheese. |
| 01:45 | < afny|pc> | that's a cheesy tactic. |
| 01:45 | < KarolineDianne> | Then I'd have a rock, AND goat cheese. |
| 01:45 | < Soren> | best veggies ever: sauteed sprouts with a goat-cheese sauce. |
| 01:45 | < KarolineDianne> | :P |
| 01:45 | < Soren> | Ah, by goat cheese will make me mighty when I eat it. I'll laugh off your rock. |
| 01:45 | < Soren> | but8 |
| 01:45 | < afny|pc> | I'm partially to asparagus with the same |
| 01:45 | < afny|pc> | partial* |
| 01:45 | < afny|pc> | I AM PARTIALLY ASPARAGUS. |
| 01:45 | < KarolineDianne> | :O |
| 01:46 | < Soren> | mm, I'll have to try that. |
| 01:46 | < Soren> | if you feel really decadent, goat cheese mashed potatoes are incredible. |
| 01:46 | < KarolineDianne> | HALF MAN, HALF PLANT! HE WALKS TWO WORLDS, BUT IS THE MASTER OF BOTH! |
| 01:46 | < Soren> | but you have to put something like $16 of goat cheese in them. |
| 01:46 | < KarolineDianne> | OH MAN-ASPARAGUS! YOU ARE NATURE'S GREATEST WONDER |

| 01:49 | | * Soren finds that hinging one's emotional state on unlikely contingencies is a poor strategy |
| 01:50 | < afny|pc> | Wow way to poke holes in my entire existence. |
| 01:50 | < KarolineDianne> | Wat? xD |
| 01:52 | < KarolineDianne> | I'm gonna head off. Gonna play some Dragon's Dogma, and then hopefully my Mutants and Masterminds game isn't canceled.. |
| 01:52 | < KarolineDianne> | See ya! |

| 01:54 | < Soren> | AAAAAAAAAARGGGGGH |
| 01:55 | < afny|pc> | Yes, you know my pain. |
| 01:58 | < Ceddo> | Heh. |
| 01:58 | < Ceddo> | I think I got something. |
| 01:58 | < Ceddo> | At the very least, the combination it binoculars, lampdholder and open firm key leads to pleasing results. |
| 01:58 | < Ceddo> | *it = of |
| 02:00 | < afny|pc> | what's an open firm key |
| 02:00 | < Ceddo> | Face scanner. :D |
| 02:01 | < Soren> | I love your weird-ass names for parts. |
| 02:01 | < Soren> | I mean, they're maddening. |
| 02:01 | < Soren> | But they're pretty funny. |
| 02:02 | < Ceddo> | They are a mixture of LDD and my own thoughts. |
| 02:04 | < Ceddo> | I guess you could just call it "wrench". |
| 02:04 | < Ceddo> | But that would be boring. |
| 02:05 | < Soren> | it's true. |
| 02:07 | < afny|pc> | yeah I was confused because I call it |
| 02:07 | < afny|pc> | closed wrench |
| 02:07 | < afny|pc> | you you used the adjective "open" |
| 02:07 | < afny|pc> | and you* |
| 02:07 | < afny|pc> | so I was completely lost |
| 02:08 | < Ceddo> | See, this is where you would need to know LDD. |
| 02:08 | < Ceddo> | There's a wrench and an open firm key. |
| 02:08 | < Ceddo> | They are next to each other. |
| 02:08 | < Ceddo> | And eventually, their names blurred in my mind. |
| 02:09 | < Ceddo> | They became one. |
| 02:09 | < Ceddo> | I never use one, but always the other. |

| 03:45 | < KarolineDianne> | Good evening, Mofos. Seems my game was canceled, and the movie my family went to was sold out, so they came back and kicked me off the xbox. |
| 03:48 | < Soren> | So I take it we're the amusement of last resort? |
| 03:48 | < Soren> | 'we' |
| 03:48 | < Soren> | I think it's just me, actually. |
| 03:49 | | * KarolineDianne shrugs |
| 03:49 | < KarolineDianne> | I really don't know what else to do. |
| 03:49 | < KarolineDianne> | Sure I have most of my games on my PC, but they're not Dragon's Dogma, and with my GM not appearing, my rpg this week is canceled... Again. |
| 03:50 | | * Soren gets naked and carves a pentagram into his chest. |
| 03:50 | < KarolineDianne> | :O |
| 03:50 | < Soren> | Let's summon the devil! |

| 03:50 | < Soren> | Fucker owes me ten bucks. |
| 03:50 | | * KarolineDianne hands Soren a censor bar |
| 03:50 | | * Soren does things to the censor bar that are illegal in Texas. |
| 03:50 | | * KarolineDianne isn't sure how bit it will need to be, so she gives him the comically huge one, jus in case. |
| 03:51 | < KarolineDianne> | D: |
| 03:51 | | * KarolineDianne 's virgin eyes...! |
| 03:51 | < Soren> | *frumple* |
| 03:51 | | * Soren puts his clothes back on. |
| 03:51 | < KarolineDianne> | Frumple? |
| 03:51 | < Soren> | yes. Frumple. |
| 03:51 | < KarolineDianne> | Like... Crumple? Or... |
| 03:54 | < Soren> | It is better not to *frumple* or else there is so much problems. |
| 03:56 | < Soren> | (it's a convoluted joke.) |
| 03:57 | < KarolineDianne> | I... Don't get it. |
| 03:57 | < KarolineDianne> | I'll be honest, I'm a natural blond. Stuff tends to fly over my head. |
| 03:57 | < KarolineDianne> | But I'm genuinely curious. Please do explain. |
| 03:58 | < KarolineDianne> | Also, would you happen to know what category that T bar piece is located in, in LDD...? Or what it's officially called? |
| 03:58 | < Soren> | nope! |
| 03:59 | < Soren> | In fact, i don't think I have LDD installed right now. |
| 03:59 | < Soren> | hrmm. |
| 04:00 | < Soren> | Let me see if it's in PaB |
| 04:01 | < Soren> | if not, it'll be on Bricklink. |
| 04:01 | < KarolineDianne> | Found it |
| 04:01 | < Soren> | ah, well. |
| 04:01 | < KarolineDianne> | It was in the category with all the gears. |
| 04:01 | < Soren> | Then I get to explain *frumple* |
| 04:01 | < KarolineDianne> | Not the technic pieces, the gears. :o |
| 04:01 | | * KarolineDianne nods |
| 04:01 | < Soren> | PaB is maddening and weird. |
| 04:02 | < Soren> | Okay, so, about the time you were born, there was a game called Star Control. |
| 04:02 | < Soren> | It had some aliens named 'Orz'. |
| 04:02 | < KarolineDianne> | OKay. |
| 04:02 | < Soren> | And their speech was full of these weird approximations, marked by asterisks. |
| 04:03 | < Soren> | so you'd get strings like: "It is so *squishy* to *smell* you!" |
| 04:03 | < Soren> | I played this game when I was 11 or 12. It made me cackle. |
| 04:04 | < Soren> | As best I could figure out, *frumple* means 'unhappy'. |
| 04:05 | < KarolineDianne> | I... Wat xD |
| 04:05 | < KarolineDianne> | "It is so squishy to smell you...? |
| 04:06 | < Soren> | Yeah. |
| 04:06 | <~Noah> | It's squishy to smell you too |
| 04:06 | < Soren> | You just had to guess at what they wanted. |
| 04:07 | < KarolineDianne> | I don't even |
| 04:08 | <~Noah> | God, so much Adventure Time |
| 04:09 | < Soren> | Just assume, when I say that, that I've been hit in the head really hard, and it'll go away. |
| 04:09 | < KarolineDianne> | I love adventure time! |
| 04:10 | | * KarolineDianne does not have a crush on Marceline. Nope. Not at all. No siree. |
| 04:17 | | * Soren will gladly pretend to believe you. |
| 04:19 | < KarolineDianne> | Though, the gender-bend episode was the best thing ever. |
| 04:20 | < Soren> | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gIbVYXHnaBU Here. This should clear things up. |
| 04:20 | < KarolineDianne> | Finn becomes Fiona, Princess Bubblegum becomes (A surprisingly handsome) Prince Gumdrop, Marceline appears as Marshal Lee. It's all... Pretty awesome. |
| 04:22 | < KarolineDianne> | :o |
| 04:25 | < Soren> | That's probably a sane reaction, yes. |
| 04:27 | < KarolineDianne> | Jumping peppers! This is smiling time! |
| 04:30 | < Soren> | precisely. |
| 04:30 | < KarolineDianne> | These guys are very confusing and slightly unsettling... |
| 04:31 | < KarolineDianne> | I feel like I'm listening to a translator's desperate attempts to translate Elder Things from Cthulhu or something. |
| 04:31 | < Soren> | that's not far off. |
| 04:32 | < KarolineDianne> | :o |
| 04:32 | < KarolineDianne> | Do not forget to enjoy the sauce. Wat |
| 04:32 | < Soren> | :D |
| 04:33 | < KarolineDianne> | >.>; |

| 04:45 | | afny|alsobrb is now known as alsoafny |
| 04:46 | < KarolineDianne> | Why are there two afnys? |
| 04:47 | < Soren> | That's a fascinating question that I don't have answer for. Maybe he split like a flatworm. |
| 04:47 | < afny> | I have dissasociative identity disorder. |
| 04:48 | < afny> | So I have to connect to the IRC twice to allow both my personalities equal voice, or they get pissed. |
| 04:48 | < afny> | This did occur much like the asexual reproduction of a flatworm. Where once there was one, now there is two. |
| 04:49 | < KarolineDianne> | Who are you people and why do I hang out with you |
| 04:49 | < KarolineDianne> | xD |
| 04:50 | < Soren> | because despite the fact that I'm a freak, I'm still pretty funny? |
| 04:50 | < Soren> | Hopefully? |
| 04:50 | | * KarolineDianne petpets Soren. |
| 04:50 | < KarolineDianne> | You know, I'm reminded of you every time I play Dragon's Dogma. |
| 04:51 | < Soren> | You don't want to do that. I'm a bitey little pet. |
| 04:51 | < KarolineDianne> | Because the main town city is Grand Soren. |
| 04:51 | < Soren> | hah |
| 04:52 | < KarolineDianne> | So my pawns are always like "Seems all roads lead to Grand Soren." "We have completed our task, let us return to Grand Soren." "I have come to grow more at ease when Grand Soren is in view." |
| 04:52 | < Soren> | I wish I could think of an appropriate joke to make about that. |
| 04:53 | < afny> | You could just demand that everyone address you as Grand Soren... |
| 04:53 | < Soren> | No, they might do it. |
| 04:53 | < afny> | Yeah, they probably would. |
| 04:53 | < afny> | They're SHEEP. |
| 04:53 | < afny> | Also it would make you sound like a Swami. |
| 04:53 | < Soren> | blech. |
| 04:54 | < KarolineDianne> | Every night, I head back to the safe warmth of Grand Soren's walls to rest and recouperate. |
| 04:55 | | * Soren bites his tongue really hard. |
| 04:55 | < afny> | Hey Soren. |
| 04:55 | < afny> | You got some nice walls. |
| 04:56 | < KarolineDianne> | Don't bite too hard. |
| 04:56 | < afny> | Lemme see those walls. |
| 04:58 | | * KarolineDianne giggles |
| 05:00 | < Soren> | This is patently unfair. |
| 05:00 | < Soren> | I'm editing pictures. |
| 05:00 | < afny> | Editing out your WALLS? |
| 05:00 | < afny> | Don't be ashamed of them. |
| 05:00 | < afny> | They're beautiful. |
| 05:01 | | * Soren preens a little |
| 05:01 | | * afny nods |
| 05:01 | < afny> | Nice masonry. |
| 05:01 | < Soren> | I guess they are rather... solid. |
| 05:01 | < afny> | They'd definitely keep out a Mongol horde or two. |
| 05:01 | < KarolineDianne> | So very large... Standing so erect on the horizon... |
| 05:03 | | * Soren rolls his eyes. |
| 05:04 | < Soren> | okay. I think we've beaten that joke to death. |
| 05:04 | < KarolineDianne> | lol |
| 05:04 | < KarolineDianne> | D'aw... And I just got my chance to join in the innuendo. |

| 05:06 | < Soren> | to* |
| 05:10 | < Soren> | and/or loaded up with one-shots and driven straight into the enemy. |
| 05:10 | < KarolineDianne> | wooo |
| 05:10 | < afny> | That's more the capsule gang's style |
| 05:10 | < afny> | pop a bunch of amphetamines and load up on missiles. |
| 05:11 | < afny> | what ELSE are motorcycles for? |
| 05:11 | < Soren> | You got me. |
| 05:11 | < KarolineDianne> | Doom Rider? |
| 05:15 | < afny> | Those round 1 x 1 tiles are a really new piece, right? |
| 05:15 | < Soren> | fairly, yeah. |
| 05:15 | < afny> | Gotta remember to get some |
| 05:15 | < Soren> | look for big lots. They grow on you. |
| 05:30 | < KarolineDianne> | Well guys |
| 05:30 | < KarolineDianne> | It's bedtime for princesses. |
| 05:30 | < KarolineDianne> | And since I'm a princess, I must be off to bed. |
| 05:30 | < afny> | False. This is a democracy. |
| 05:30 | < KarolineDianne> | As are the rules. |
| 05:30 | < afny> | ...but goodnight |
| 05:31 | < KarolineDianne> | :o |
| 05:31 | < afny> | (the King is dead) |
| 05:31 | < afny> | (long live the King) |
| 05:31 | < KarolineDianne> | Meh |
| 05:31 | < KarolineDianne> | People at work call me princess for whatever reason, so apparenltly I'm a princess. |
| 05:32 | < afny> | Do you work with Han Solo? |
| 05:32 | < KarolineDianne> | No... |
| 05:32 | < KarolineDianne> | But that would be awesome. |
| 05:33 | < KarolineDianne> | Anyway, I'm sleepy |

| 09:52 | < Ceddo> | Hello there, CJ. |
| 09:53 | < CalaveraJoe> | You Ced23Ric by any chance? |
| 09:53 | < Ceddo> | Yeppers, the one and only. |
| 09:53 | < CalaveraJoe> | Coo |
| 09:54 | < CalaveraJoe> | *looks at stuff* Makes sense, .de connection and looking at the time, it's about... 11am? |
| 09:54 | < Ceddo> | Oh yeah. |
| 09:54 | < CalaveraJoe> | Assuming I can remember the time difference between be and that general region of Europe |
| 09:54 | < Ceddo> | I just got up, now I am watching BroTeamPill on Youtube. |
| 09:54 | < Ceddo> | Well, listening to it, actually. |
| 09:54 | < CalaveraJoe> | Same time zone as Italy, iirc, yes? |
| 09:55 | < Ceddo> | Yupp, we're north of 'em. |
| 09:56 | < CalaveraJoe> | Family's from the North of Italy, and I did business with folks there for a number of years, so had to keep pretty aware of time difference, hehe |
| 09:57 | < CalaveraJoe> | Incidentally... I really envy folks on that side of the Atlantic and your ready access to not insanely expensive travis bricks |
| 09:57 | < Ceddo> | Ha! |
| 09:57 | < Ceddo> | I went to a store a few weeks back. |
| 09:57 | < Ceddo> | "I need those 1x1 bricks, 4 studs all around." |
| 09:57 | < Ceddo> | "How many?" |
| 09:57 | < Ceddo> | "How many do you have?" |
| 09:57 | < Ceddo> | "Uhm ... 24 in black." |
| 09:58 | < Ceddo> | "All of them, then." |
| 09:58 | < CalaveraJoe> | -_- I hate you |
| 09:58 | < CalaveraJoe> | There are... 3 lego stores that are localish to me, not a one of them has /even/ had 'em in stock |
| 09:58 | < CalaveraJoe> | and other than that, there aren't exactly any shops where you can just pop in and pick up individual bits like that |
| 09:59 | < CalaveraJoe> | From Lego direct, they run $0.35 us a piece |
| 09:59 | < CalaveraJoe> | In any measurable quantity on Bricklink, this side of the atlantic, they tend to run around there and up |
| 10:00 | < CalaveraJoe> | European sellers? Oh... $0.18 |
| 10:00 | < CalaveraJoe> | Not to mention a whole pile of /other/ parts I need |
| 10:01 | < Ceddo> | Oh, dude. I have ... 24 light grey, 24 dark grey, 52 black and 5 brown. |
| 10:01 | < Ceddo> | I am all out of dark grey, brown, black is down to 1 and light grey is the only colour still above 10. |
| 10:01 | < CalaveraJoe> | *snicker* To build up my part list, I went ahead and took 3 models (mini frame, iguana, and chubb) and made an aggregate list |
| 10:02 | < Ceddo> | Iguana. Bwahahaha. |
| 10:02 | < CalaveraJoe> | For t-bricks... 18 |
| 10:02 | < CalaveraJoe> | EIGHTTEEN |
| 10:02 | < CalaveraJoe> | EACH |
| 10:02 | < CalaveraJoe> | *sigh* |
| 10:02 | < Ceddo> | Yeah, and only because the chub takes only three. |
| 10:02 | < Ceddo> | Iguana is the worst. Takes ten. |
| 10:02 | < CalaveraJoe> | Yeah |
| 10:02 | < CalaveraJoe> | Admittedly, the mini-frame eats t-bricks for lunch |
| 10:02 | < Ceddo> | Time for a different base 'frame, maybe. :D |
| 10:02 | < CalaveraJoe> | But it's SO versatile |
| 10:02 | < Ceddo> | Yupp. |
| 10:03 | < Ceddo> | On both accounts. |
| 10:03 | < CalaveraJoe> | Luckily, I happened to catch a vendor who had them for $0.23 a pop |
| 10:03 | < Ceddo> | I feel like trolling you a bit. |
| 10:03 | < CalaveraJoe> | So I bought out his inventory of them (139) |
| 10:03 | < CalaveraJoe> | In nice, usable all over, dark blueish gray |
| 10:04 | < Ceddo> | Mhmm. |
| 10:04 | < Ceddo> | Which reminds me. |
| 10:04 | < Ceddo> | I should buy a boatload of travis bricks. |
| 10:05 | < CalaveraJoe> | I was almost to the point where I was going to try and get a few friends to go in with me to buy a BIG lot from an EU seller just to get them cheaper |
| 10:06 | < Ceddo> | Heh. |
| 10:06 | < CalaveraJoe> | Now, sadly, I'm at the stage where I need a few handfuls of random bits, and I worry it'll take buying from half a dozen vendors on BL to get em all |
| 10:07 | < Ceddo> | That's horrible. |
| 10:07 | < Ceddo> | Shop by rarest part. |
| 10:07 | < CalaveraJoe> | Yeah |
| 10:08 | < CalaveraJoe> | The problem is that of the 10 items or so on my list, 3-4 show up at several places, with several others being the only thing at a given store on my list |
| 10:09 | < Ceddo> | Boo. Yeah that sucks. |
| 10:09 | < Ceddo> | I ordered parts for 8 stations. |
| 10:09 | < Ceddo> | And wanted to add colour trim. |
| 10:10 | < Ceddo> | ... took two stores just for the trim. |
| 10:10 | < CalaveraJoe> | *nod* |
| 10:10 | < CalaveraJoe> | I haven't even gotten to station design yet |
| 10:10 | < CalaveraJoe> | I'll probably just cobble together something from the pile of lego I've got |
| 10:10 | < CalaveraJoe> | Which is sizable, just not nearly enough little fiddly frame-making bits |
| 10:11 | < Ceddo> | Well, I have how many 'frames? Lemme count. |
| 10:11 | < Ceddo> | 3x 5 in companies ... |
| 10:11 | < Ceddo> | And 7 more without any association. |
| 10:12 | < Ceddo> | I should be doing stations, given that the max amount of 'frames is like 24. :D |
| 10:12 | < CalaveraJoe> | lol |
| 10:13 | < CalaveraJoe> | Actually... isn't it 25? 5 per on a 5 player game? |
| 10:13 | < Ceddo> | 5 player games? |
| 10:13 | < Ceddo> | Didn't see those mentioned. |
| 10:13 | < Ceddo> | 4 player games are already chaotic. :D |
| 10:13 | < CalaveraJoe> | Yeah, p56 of the rules that were thrown up on kickstarter |
| 10:14 | < CalaveraJoe> | It's got setups for skirmishes or battles from 2-5 players |
| 10:16 | < Ceddo> | Mhmm, look at that. Oh well. |
| 10:18 | < CalaveraJoe> | I can imagine a 5p game just being a clusterfuck though |
| 10:20 | < Ceddo> | Oh yeah. :D |
| 10:24 | < Ceddo> | So. |
| 10:24 | < Ceddo> | Ordered another 75 Travis bricks. |
| 10:24 | < CalaveraJoe> | lol |
| 10:24 | < Ceddo> | I WILL NOT GO SILENTLY INTO THE NIGHT. |
| 10:24 | < CalaveraJoe> | I swear if I ever came across them in a PIB bin at the store, I'd worry about wanting to buy the whole lot of them |
| 10:25 | < Ceddo> | Oh shit, dude. |
| 10:25 | < Ceddo> | "Yeah ... I'll have the big cup, please ..." |
| 10:25 | < Ceddo> | "Mhmm ... $20 you say?" |
| 10:25 | < Ceddo> | "I'll have tow cups, actually." |
| 10:25 | < Ceddo> | :D |
| 10:25 | < Ceddo> | *two |
| 10:25 | < CalaveraJoe> | Seriously, buy them out, then pawn them on BL for profit |
| 10:26 | < CalaveraJoe> | There's got to be some way that folks are ordering them in bulk from Lego direct |
| 10:27 | < CalaveraJoe> | there's no way people would be able to sell them off for they do if they weren't |
| 10:27 | < Ceddo> | Well, here's what I am thinking. |
| 10:28 | < Ceddo> | Lego is from Denmark. |
| 10:28 | < Ceddo> | And so is Maersk. |
| 10:28 | < Ceddo> | If you don't know Maersk, they are pretty much the largest worldwide shipping operation on the seven seas, the roads and railways. |
| 10:28 | < CalaveraJoe> | *nod* Yeah, I know of 'em |
| 10:28 | < Ceddo> | Maersk also has their own Lego line. Not because of that, but because the CEOs of Lego and Maersk are childhood buddies. |
| 10:29 | < Ceddo> | So I figure, Maersk PR and Lego PR should know each other. Or at least, be close with each other. |
| 10:30 | < Ceddo> | Now a good friend of mine is head of "gercustasp" - "Germany Customer Support Asia & Pacific", or so. |
| 10:31 | < Ceddo> | Maybe I can latch onto him, jump to PR, jump to Lego and figure the fuck out how to get to the lego main warehouse, take a tour and grab .... a camping backpack full of travis bricks. :D |
| 10:31 | < Ceddo> | And then, ship them out to erryone. |
| 10:31 | < CalaveraJoe> | lol |
| 10:31 | < CalaveraJoe> | Honestly, it's got to be possible to get in touch with Lego and be like "Look, I need a BIG ol pile of bricks, and I'd like to not pay the PAB price, so how many do I need to buy to get a discount?" |
| 10:31 | < Ceddo> | Also: I jizzed here - http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7215/7281426552_995cb2d894_z.jpg |
| 10:31 | < Ceddo> | Oh, yeah. |
| 10:31 | < CalaveraJoe> | I just suspect it's got to be a LOT |
| 10:31 | < CalaveraJoe> | Yeah, that dozer is rad |
| 10:31 | < Ceddo> | I'd hit up the flagship store for that. Ask your way through to the manager. |
| 10:31 | < Ceddo> | But prepare to buy 1000, at least. ;) |
| 10:32 | < CalaveraJoe> | I would be shocked if it were anything less than that for any sort of price break |
| 10:32 | < Ceddo> | (That's less then 77 Elder Nagas.) |
| 10:32 | < CalaveraJoe> | lol |
| 10:32 | < Ceddo> | Should just measure stuff in a new unit. "Mittens". |
| 10:33 | < Ceddo> | THat 'frame is 0.4 Mittens. |
| 10:33 | < Ceddo> | .... so 6 Travis bricks? Yeah. |
| 10:33 | < Ceddo> | Anything above 1.0 Mittens is considered lunacy. :D |
| 10:33 | < CalaveraJoe> | lol |
| 10:33 | < CalaveraJoe> | Really, it should be measured in squieus |
| 10:34 | < CalaveraJoe> | since Mitten just based his stuff off the mini frame |
| 10:35 | < Ceddo> | Oh, the Meerkat, yeah. |
| 10:35 | < Ceddo> | But the Iguana and Naga, not so much. |
| 10:36 | < Ceddo> | Alright. |
| 10:36 | < Ceddo> | You tell me what to do today. |
| 10:36 | < Ceddo> | Yesterday, I crushed 5 'frames and built 4 new ones. |
| 10:36 | < Ceddo> | 3 of which are allowed to stay alive - for now. |
| 10:36 | < Ceddo> | So we have one on the way to the slaughterhouse. |
| 10:36 | < Ceddo> | What am I gonna build? |
| 10:36 | < Ceddo> | You can name 3 'frames. :D |
| 10:37 | < Ceddo> | Or, rough designs, or whatever. |
| 10:37 | < CalaveraJoe> | You know what I haven't seen in a while? A good update / variant on ye olde guncrab |
| 10:37 | < Ceddo> | Gun crab. Uhm. |
| 10:37 | | * Ceddo shows his best Dr. Cox impression when presented with a situation that requires fine social instincts. |
| 10:38 | < CalaveraJoe> | http://nobsjustabs.wordpress.com/tools-rules/list-of-frames/ |
| 10:38 | < CalaveraJoe> | #14 |
| 10:38 | < Ceddo> | Gotcha. |
| 10:38 | < Ceddo> | *rubs chin* |
| 10:38 | < Ceddo> | Torso, 4 legs, cannon on the back ... |
| 10:39 | < CalaveraJoe> | It's a neat design, but it seems largely untouched anymore |
| 10:39 | < Ceddo> | Well, yeah. Look what else we got. |
| 10:39 | < CalaveraJoe> | OH! I totally forgot |
| 10:39 | < CalaveraJoe> | I did a quick and dirty mockup of the cards I brought up in your Quick Ref thread |
| 10:39 | < Ceddo> | I'll try my hand at it. |
| 10:40 | < Ceddo> | Oh, dude, I totally forgot about that! |
| 10:40 | < Ceddo> | So sorry, man. |
| 10:40 | < CalaveraJoe> | No worries |
| 10:40 | < CalaveraJoe> | hehe |
| 10:40 | < CalaveraJoe> | Lemme see if I bothered to upload them anyplace |
| 10:41 | < Ceddo> | Oh. |
| 10:41 | < CalaveraJoe> | https://www.dropbox.com/s/p3normeixuf912a/Unit%20Card.png |
| 10:41 | < Ceddo> | I am out of 1x2 bar plates. |
| 10:41 | < Ceddo> | All fucking out. |

| 10:41 | < Ceddo> | Heh. Yeah, that works. |
| 10:42 | < Ceddo> | Yupp, that looks about right. Good job. |
| 10:42 | < CalaveraJoe> | And they fit nicely into MtG card sleeves so you can write all over them |
| 10:42 | < Ceddo> | Care to add those to the thread? |
| 10:42 | < Ceddo> | Oh boy, that's sweet. |
| 10:42 | < Ceddo> | Because I got a shitload of those. :D |
| 10:43 | < CalaveraJoe> | hehe |
| 10:44 | < Ceddo> | Nah. Can't build anything 4-legged. |
| 10:44 | < Ceddo> | :/ |
| 10:44 | < CalaveraJoe> | Booo! |
| 10:44 | < Ceddo> | OH WAIT. |
| 10:44 | < Ceddo> | I have white. |
| 10:44 | < Ceddo> | White will empoer me! |
| 10:45 | < Ceddo> | *empower |
| 10:51 | < CalaveraJoe> | I'll have to post 'em later |
| 10:51 | < CalaveraJoe> | baby woke up |

| 19:40 | <~Noah> | Hello Joe |
| 19:41 | < CalaveraJoe> | Hello Noah |
| 19:42 | < Ceddo> | Have some goats, Joe. |
| 19:42 | < Ceddo> | http://www.mobileframehangar.com/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=1456 |
| 19:43 | < afny> | I have goats too! They're not awesome lego goats, though |
| 19:43 | < afny> | http://i.imgur.com/6UTyc.jpg |
| 19:43 | < CalaveraJoe> | Ceddo: Those are /awesome/ |
| 19:43 | < afny> | Instead of just being cover |
| 19:43 | < afny> | you should make it a station |
| 19:43 | < afny> | I mean goats are a valuable resource |
| 19:44 | < afny> | goat cheese is fucking expensive. |
| 19:44 | < Ceddo> | I was bored. |
| 19:44 | < CalaveraJoe> | Stupid question, how are those binoculars attached to the back of the headlight? |
| 19:44 | < Ceddo> | Built 5 'frames today. |
| 19:44 | < Ceddo> | CJ: They have a hole there, studsiz. |
| 19:44 | < Ceddo> | *stud size. |
| 19:45 | < Ceddo> | So you just clip them on. |
| 19:45 | < afny> | it's the front of the headlight |
| 19:45 | < CalaveraJoe> | *looks closer* |
| 19:45 | < afny> | with a 1x1 plate |
| 19:45 | < afny> | not the back of the headlight |
| 19:45 | < CalaveraJoe> | Ahhh, looks like the headlights are back to back with a plate between |
| 19:45 | < afny> | both the headlights are facing forward |
| 19:45 | < Ceddo> | Well, yupp. You need a 1x1 plate on the face, or they are too close. |
| 19:45 | < afny> | the goat's tail (round 1 x 1 plate) is plugged into the back of the rear headlight |
| 19:45 | < Ceddo> | Seen the arty Chubs, afny? |
| 19:46 | < afny> | the really tall looking ones? Yeah |
| 19:46 | < Ceddo> | Not that tall, actually. |
| 19:46 | < afny> | nah they just LOOK tall I mean |
| 19:46 | < Ceddo> | Just as tall as a normal Chub. |
| 19:46 | < afny> | because of the slope you used |
| 19:46 | < Ceddo> | Well, I guess the rocket packs are taller. |
| 19:46 | < afny> | it's like wearing vertical stripes |
| 19:46 | < Ceddo> | Yeah. |
| 19:46 | < Ceddo> | True. |
| 19:46 | < Ceddo> | Well, I was out the actual one. But I like the difference. |
| 19:47 | < afny> | definitely a weird but cool look |
| 19:47 | < afny> | I feel like the heads don't read very well in black but I always have that complaint |
| 19:47 | < Ceddo> | The backpacks are funky, too. |
| 19:47 | < Ceddo> | Well, yeah. But I had no other colors left. :( |
| 19:47 | < CalaveraJoe> | Yeah, the heads get a little lost in there |
| 19:47 | < Ceddo> | In person, they read much better. |
| 19:47 | < CalaveraJoe> | *nod* |
| 19:47 | < CalaveraJoe> | Nice use of the PotC compass |
| 19:48 | < afny> | yeah, I think the same is true for most of your black builds |
| 19:48 | < afny> | they just don't necessarily read well in photos |
| 19:48 | < Ceddo> | It's the sign of the 13th Guard. :D |
| 19:48 | < Ceddo> | I have like 24 of those. ^^ |
| 19:49 | < CalaveraJoe> | I picked up a handful of the little 2 x 1 control panel bits the other day at the shop (they were in the pab wall) |
| 19:49 | < Ceddo> | Nice. |
| 19:49 | < Ceddo> | Now I have 8 SU 'frames, 6 Serpent 'freames, 5 VMC 'frames, and 9 unassigned 'frames. |
| 19:49 | < CalaveraJoe> | http://mobileframehangar.com/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=1436 Like the one here |
| 19:50 | < CalaveraJoe> | Damn |
| 19:50 | < Ceddo> | Probably gonna end up crushing the black fiddler and the two four-legged one's I made today. Try and build another MINX. |
| 19:50 | < CalaveraJoe> | I'm just worrying about building enough for me, hehe, my brother-in-law wants to play and I told him he better start wrangling lego |
| 19:50 | < Ceddo> | I finally got my roomie to yield. If I build him a company of 6 VT22 MINX', he's gonna play. :D |
| 19:50 | < CalaveraJoe> | I love the minx design |
| 19:50 | < Ceddo> | Oh, dude, I crash and build 'frames daily. |
| 19:51 | < afny> | is he paying you? |
| 19:51 | < Ceddo> | About 5 'frames a day. :D |
| 19:51 | < Ceddo> | Uhm, no. |
| 19:51 | < Ceddo> | But I don't care. |
| 19:51 | < afny> | for the parts? or do you just mean temporarily brick them up for him |
| 19:51 | < Ceddo> | That guy, I'd die for. And if it takes a 50 out of my pocket to get to play this game, fuck it. |
| 19:51 | < Ceddo> | Danny is my bestie of 25 years. |
| 19:51 | < Ceddo> | Had my back when my dad died. |
| 19:51 | < afny> | Oh, for some reason when you said roommate |
| 19:51 | < afny> | I assumed he was just a casual acquaintance |
| 19:52 | < Ceddo> | Nah, he IS my roomie. |
| 19:52 | < Ceddo> | I live with Danny and Jan. |
| 19:52 | < afny> | yeah yeah I see the distinction |
| 19:52 | < Ceddo> | Both close long-year friends of mine. |
| 19:52 | < Ceddo> | Jan I've been livign with 2006 to 2008. |
| 19:52 | < Ceddo> | And Danny and I go back ... uhm ... 1986, 1987. |
| 19:53 | < Ceddo> | And now that I am back from Canada, we moved in together. |
| 19:53 | < CalaveraJoe> | Hey, is there a good breakdown or draw file for the minx floating around anyplace? |
| 19:53 | < Ceddo> | Nah, not a single LDD/LDR. |
| 19:53 | < Ceddo> | But AYI has a breakdown in his fotostream. |
| 19:53 | < CalaveraJoe> | Link? |
| 19:53 | < Ceddo> | The MINX is SUCH a rewarding 'frame to build, dude. |
| 19:53 | < Ceddo> | So forward and easy. |
| 19:53 | < Ceddo> | I was flabbergasted. |

| 19:54 | < Ceddo> | tHERE YA GO: |
| 19:54 | < Ceddo> | Goddamn Caps. |
| 19:55 | < CalaveraJoe> | Maybe I'll get bored waiting for parts and Bricksmith up an ldr |
| 19:55 | < Ceddo> | If you need help, lemme know. |
| 19:55 | < Ceddo> | Nah, me and the guys, we got 1100 sqft here. |
| 19:55 | < CalaveraJoe> | Guh, love that frame |
| 19:55 | < Ceddo> | Pretty cozy apt, 16th floor, looking over the entire city of Berlin. |
| 19:55 | < afny> | I think I might have to kitbash parts of that design now that I see it |
| 19:56 | < Ceddo> | Danny does IT for the university, Jan is a nurse at a retirement home, I do IT at the ministry of health. |
| 19:56 | < CalaveraJoe> | WAY outta left field, but do you ever listen to much classical voice performance or opera there in Berlin? |
| 19:56 | < Ceddo> | So ... 50 bucks doesn't take much out of my pocket. |
| 19:56 | < Ceddo> | Not so much, honestly. Jazz, Blues, I do. |
| 19:56 | < Ceddo> | But classical ... got an aversion to it. |
| 19:56 | < Ceddo> | But it's biased and personal. |
| 19:56 | < CalaveraJoe> | Good buddy of mine from grade school is an opera singer and lives in Berlin now |
| 19:56 | < Ceddo> | My mom's mother was a right cunt, and she was a music teacher. |
| 19:57 | < CalaveraJoe> | lol |
| 19:57 | < Ceddo> | Oh, dude, I hated her guts. She was my granny and all, but fuck, was she ever horrible. |
| 19:57 | < Ceddo> | Literally dropped my dad at the orphanage because she wanted to focus on her career. |
| 19:57 | < Ceddo> | Like she'd park a car in the garage for half year. |
| 19:57 | < Ceddo> | Only it was her fucking son. |
| 19:57 | < CalaveraJoe> | Boo |
| 19:58 | < Ceddo> | And she pulled all kinds of crazy shit constantly. |
| 19:58 | < Ceddo> | So yeah. Classical music reminds me of her. |
| 19:58 | < Ceddo> | I'm much about house, steady and broken beat, dubstep and drum 'n bass, industrial, clubstuff and such. |
| 19:58 | < Ceddo> | Some metal, punk, crossover, etc. |
| 19:59 | < CalaveraJoe> | I listen to a little of everything, honestly, |
| 19:59 | < Ceddo> | But usually electronica. I rather have a well-done beat and samples then listening to the 500th rendition of "I LOVE YOU BUT YOU DON'T LOVE ME" on the radio. |
| 19:59 | < Ceddo> | Shit that sucks: Pop. |
| 19:59 | < CalaveraJoe> | I tend to rotate around in cycles, lately... lots of bluegrass / folk, punk, whatever the hell you wanna call Florence + the Machine |
| 19:59 | < Ceddo> | Heh. Florence is nice. |
| 19:59 | < Ceddo> | Good sexy time music, too. ^_^v |
| 20:00 | < CalaveraJoe> | She's got a few tracks that nod heavy to industrial / old school goth rock that just have the BEST beat |
| 20:00 | < Ceddo> | Mhmm, recommend one or two. |
| 20:00 | < afny> | old school goth rock you say |
| 20:01 | < afny> | http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OKRJfIPiJGY |
| 20:01 | | * CalaveraJoe fires up iTunes since he's mostly in a cold medicine haze |
| 20:02 | < Ceddo> | Also: Definition disparency. |
| 20:02 | < Ceddo> | For example, Northern American punk is what we over here would call College Rock. |
| 20:02 | < Ceddo> | And our Punk is more like your ... I dunno ... garage music. |
| 20:02 | < Ceddo> | Your Industrial is more ... guitars, drums, rough sounds. |
| 20:02 | < afny> | Punk doesn't mean anything in America anymore |
| 20:02 | < Ceddo> | Our Industrial is more like EBM - electronic beats music. |
| 20:03 | < CalaveraJoe> | When I say punk I mean Bad Religion, Social D, etc. |
| 20:03 | < Ceddo> | Our punk is always politically motivated ultra left wing. :D |
| 20:04 | < Ceddo> | Stuff like "Germany has to die!" or "Destroy the Fourth Reich!" etc. |
| 20:04 | < afny> | I'm more of a post-punk fan. Stuff that's really DIY and emulates the "spirit" of punk, but doesn't just emulate the sound of the Ramones or whatever |
| 20:04 | < Ceddo> | Y'know ... |
| 20:04 | < CalaveraJoe> | What the Water Gave Me, No Light No Light, Seven Devils, Drumming Song |
| 20:04 | < Ceddo> | I'll build an LDD of the MINX. |

| 20:04 | < Ceddo> | I need the partslist anyway. |
| 20:05 | < Ceddo> | CJ, you use LDD? |
| 20:05 | < afny> | Do either of you know Young Marble Giants? |
| 20:05 | < Ceddo> | If not, I can at least give you a step by step instruction. |
| 20:05 | < CalaveraJoe> | Ceddo: I can, yeah |
| 20:05 | < Ceddo> | Kk. |
| 20:05 | < Ceddo> | Gimme a minute or two. :) |
| 20:05 | < CalaveraJoe> | I prefer ldraw (I use bricksmith on my laptop), but it's not hard to translate |
| 20:08 | < Ceddo> | Kk. |
| 20:08 | < Ceddo> | Oh. |
| 20:08 | < Ceddo> | Want me to leave the parts in functional groups rather then assemble it? |
| 20:09 | < CalaveraJoe> | *shrug* either or |
| 20:09 | < Ceddo> | kk |
| 20:17 | < CalaveraJoe> | Also, note sure if you saw, but I uploaded the card sheets |
| 20:27 | < Ceddo> | I did! Good job, man. |
| 20:27 | < Ceddo> | Also: Torso and backpack, then I am done. |
| 20:27 | < Ceddo> | Which one do you want? |
| 20:27 | < Ceddo> | The slopey triangular hood or the smooth curved one? |
| 20:28 | < CalaveraJoe> | Do one and just float the parts for the other to the side? |
| 20:28 | < Ceddo> | Will do. |

| 20:38 | < Soren> | I see Ced has been dicking around with my goats. |
| 20:38 | < Ceddo> | OH YEAH. |
| 20:38 | < Ceddo> | Admire my herding dogs in return. |
| 20:38 | < Soren> | This is a slight against my honor! If you want to do that to my goats, you should marry them. |
| 20:38 | < Soren> | I mean. Uh. |
| 20:39 | < Ceddo> | I only did them close to a cliff's edge, my friend. |
| 20:39 | < Soren> | haha, fair enough |
| 20:39 | < Soren> | those dogs are pretty excellent. |
| 20:39 | < Ceddo> | Thank you. *bows* |
| 20:40 | < Ceddo> | I was bored. |
| 20:40 | < Ceddo> | That usually happens. |
| 20:40 | < Soren> | yeah. |
| 20:40 | < Ceddo> | I built another 4 'frames today. |
| 20:40 | < Soren> | you're a MACHINE. |
| 20:40 | < Ceddo> | Finally got ONE full company of 8 done. |
| 20:40 | < Ceddo> | Now I need two more Serpents. |
| 20:40 | < Ceddo> | And 3 more VMCs. |
| 20:40 | < Ceddo> | And I need to get my shit straight for the FC. |
| 20:41 | < Soren> | ...although. I finished up enough of the custom stuff that I can actually see the end now. |
| 20:41 | < Ceddo> | They are so vast, they become uninspiring. |
| 20:41 | < Soren> | it's paradoxical, yeah. |
| 20:41 | < Ceddo> | See, I would like to build some labor 'frames, but I am always staring at the parts and I feel nothing coming. |
| 20:41 | < Ceddo> | Serpents are straight. |
| 20:41 | < Ceddo> | SU is straight. |
| 20:41 | < Soren> | I always start with the fiction, and then I think "Okay what are they repurposing as weapons?" |
| 20:41 | < Ceddo> | Heck, my VMC is straight. |
| 20:42 | < Soren> | logging frames with giant chainsaws. |
| 20:42 | < Ceddo> | Well, the whole idea of repurposing angers me. :D |
| 20:42 | < Ceddo> | Because, a) melee applies underpressure to male primary reproductive organs. |
| 20:43 | < Ceddo> | And, b) "Hey, I only have this sweet 48mm tungst slug assault rifle, that crane-bot with a wrecking ball looks mithy intimidating to my military warmachine." - No one ever, in the history of eternity. |
| 20:43 | < Ceddo> | *tungsten |
| 20:44 | < Soren> | in that case. |
| 20:44 | < Soren> | https://www.dropbox.com/s/we993am37uyuppx/Microbike.jpg WHEEEELIE |
| 20:45 | < Ceddo> | And then I tried maybe law enforcement gone rogue, but them using Conscripts only made them look foolish. |
| 20:45 | < Soren> | you could do two conscripts as a single unit. Like Zerglings. |
| 20:45 | < Ceddo> | Bwahaha. That biks is fucking sweet. |
| 20:45 | < Ceddo> | Ugh. |
| 20:45 | < Soren> | ty. |
| 20:45 | < Ceddo> | Yeah, I WAS pondering that. |
| 20:45 | < Ceddo> | But it just doesn't do it for me. |
| 20:45 | < Soren> | fair enough. |
| 20:46 | < Ceddo> | Then I had the K Chubs, as stolen military hardware. |
| 20:46 | < Ceddo> | That was ... close enough. |
| 20:46 | < Soren> | I just finished up the custom company that uses little fuchikoma guys for HtH |
| 20:46 | < Ceddo> | But I have 11 Chubs now. |
| 20:46 | < Ceddo> | And that's a lot out of two dozen 'frames. |
| 20:46 | < Soren> | two to a unit, and their attachemtn is 'I crawl all over you and poke you in the eye.' |
| 20:46 | < Soren> | attachment* |
| 20:46 | < Ceddo> | I'mma build a company of VT22 Minxes now, for my roomie. Gonna declare those FC. |
| 20:47 | < Soren> | that works! |
| 20:47 | < Ceddo> | But they'd be more akin to ... mercenaries. Or hightech bandits. |
| 20:47 | < Soren> | I've been having some trouble with them myself. |
| 20:47 | < Ceddo> | The FC? |
| 20:47 | < Soren> | yeah. |
| 20:47 | < Ceddo> | Well, yeah. They don't have military hardware on their own. |
| 20:47 | < Soren> | one of the custom companies is a FC biker gang using Mospeada-like frames. |
| 20:47 | < Ceddo> | It's like bringing a wet cookie to a bazooka fight. |
| 20:48 | < Ceddo> | Someone MIGHT choke, but fuck, those guys can rocketjump while your cookie goes stale. |
| 20:48 | < Soren> | I wonder if rocketjumping works in this unverse? |
| 20:48 | < Ceddo> | And yes, I just indulged in this overly dramatic metaphor. |
| 20:48 | < Soren> | I guess if you used a concussive dummy rocket, just for that... |
| 20:48 | < Ceddo> | I actually am so vain, I am going to post this to my FB wall. |
| 20:49 | < Soren> | a sound plan. |
| 20:49 | < Ceddo> | It is done. |
| 20:49 | < Ceddo> | Now. |
| 20:49 | < Ceddo> | Back to this MINX. |
| 20:49 | < Ceddo> | My roomie is a coder. |
| 20:49 | < Ceddo> | I am his graphics guy. |
| 20:49 | < Ceddo> | His feel for color composition rivals my feel for open heart surgery. |
| 20:50 | < Soren> | hah |
| 20:50 | < Ceddo> | Now, what do? He says: "BLACK." and that's it. |
| 20:50 | < Ceddo> | And I politely disagree. |
| 20:50 | < Ceddo> | I was thinking, maybe go back to the 90ies and give them a red trim. |
| 20:50 | < Ceddo> | But he doesn't like red. |
| 20:50 | < Ceddo> | So I was pondering darkblue or medium blue. |
| 20:51 | < Ceddo> | Or I make it triple colour, with dark grey/black/blue. |
| 20:51 | < Soren> | medium blue looks good. I have a design using that as an accent with black and white over gray joints. |
| 20:51 | < Ceddo> | Got any pictures? |
| 20:52 | < Soren> | I should, somewhere. |
| 20:53 | < Soren> | butts. |
| 20:54 | < Ceddo> | MOTORS AND BUTTS. |
| 20:54 | < Ceddo> | TAPS AND CLAWS. |
| 20:54 | < afny> | did someone say |
| 20:54 | < afny> | motors and butts |
| 20:56 | < Soren> | We really need to set that to a beat. |
| 20:56 | < Ceddo> | Which is funny. Because my roomie has his synthesizer and digital turntable/effects table right there. |
| 20:56 | < Ceddo> | Been rocking out on it all day. |
| 20:57 | < Ceddo> | MOTORS AND BUTTS! MOTORS AND BUTTS! |
| 20:57 | < Ceddo> | It's like T'n'A. |
| 20:57 | < Soren> | ...t-t-t-taps and claws... |
| 20:57 | < afny> | taps, taps and claws. |
| 20:57 | < Ceddo> | I LIKE MOTORS AND BUTTS AND I CANNOT LIE, AND YOU OTHERS MOFOS CAN'T DENY, WHEN A ITTY BITTY BRICK WITH A ITTY BITTY STUD WALKS INTO THE CLUB I REV MY MOTOR UP! |
| 20:58 | < Soren> | Yeah this needs to happen |
| 20:58 | | * Soren beatboxes for Ceddo |
| 20:58 | < Ceddo> | ... I don't know what just came over me. |
| 20:59 | < Ceddo> | Balls. |
| 20:59 | < Soren> | (motors and butts) |
| 20:59 | < Ceddo> | The only color any wedge comes in is blue. Or ... darkred. |
| 21:00 | < Soren> | link me to this piece you mention. |

| 21:00 | < Ceddo> | And I meant the shop I am in tright now. :D |
| 21:00 | < Ceddo> | Not in general. |
| 21:01 | < Ceddo> | Mhmm. |
| 21:01 | < Soren> | ah. |
| 21:01 | < Ceddo> | But Dark Red could work fine, actually. |
| 21:01 | < Ceddo> | What goes with it, though? |
| 21:01 | < afny> | is this for a minx? |
| 21:01 | < afny> | like the hood? |
| 21:02 | < Ceddo> | Yeah, I just finished the LDD file for it. |
| 21:02 | < Ceddo> | And now I am thinking about a colour scheme. |
| 21:03 | < afny> | if it's just for reference, just do something really readable |
| 21:03 | < afny> | black and tan |
| 21:03 | < afny> | for instance |
| 21:03 | < afny> | I tried to come up with a look for Mitten's Lt. Asher, but thanks to that god damn Day9 video, I just kept thinking "Lt. Dan", and I ended up basically drawing Forest Gump |
| 21:03 | < afny> | http://i.imgur.com/xsaiA.jpg |

| 21:04 | < Soren> | but mostly I thought about Jenny. |
| 21:04 | < Ceddo> | I'm with you. |
| 21:07 | < Ceddo> | Mhmm. |
| 21:07 | < Ceddo> | Could do it in Dark Red. |
| 21:08 | < Ceddo> | Dark Red and what else? Soren? |
| 21:08 | < Soren> | Dear Dropbox: You can just chocke on a billion dicks. |
| 21:08 | < Soren> | choke* |
| 21:08 | < Ceddo> | I am thinking, light grey and maybe something yellowy. |
| 21:08 | < Soren> | https://www.dropbox.com/s/suqjsd9prsthcs4/Type%20N.JPG Here, for reference. |
| 21:08 | < Soren> | I have some Chub Trainers in yellow/gray. It's not a bad combination. |
| 21:10 | < Ceddo> | Maybe Tan. Got a shitload of Tan anyway. |
| 21:10 | < Soren> | yeah |
| 21:10 | < Ceddo> | Tan, Dark Red, Light Grey? |
| 21:10 | < Ceddo> | Sounds like a plan. |
| 21:11 | < Ceddo> | On to the next stage. |
| 21:11 | < Ceddo> | Company composition. D: |
| 21:33 | < Ceddo> | Balls. |

| 21:54 | < Ceddo> | I am running out of letters soon- |
| 21:54 | < Ceddo> | http://www.ced23ric.de/stuff/mf0/st07x_chub_b2.png |
| 21:54 | < Ceddo> | Artillery for these guys: http://www.ced23ric.de/stuff/mf0/13th_guard_b1.png |
| 21:59 | < Ceddo> | Soren, help me with this (as soon as you are done with the pictures). |
| 21:59 | < Ceddo> | I need to compose a company of 6. |
| 21:59 | < Soren> | jawohl. |
| 21:59 | < Ceddo> | I am thinking 2 or 3 Soldier configs. |
| 21:59 | < Soren> | let me put this up on DB, and I'll lend a hand. |
| 22:00 | < Ceddo> | There will be no HtH system anywhere. |
| 22:00 | < Ceddo> | Yah, sure. :) |
| 22:05 | < Soren> | https://www.dropbox.com/s/z3smuam65xx40zo/Super%20Strider.jpg She's not in a good mood. |
| 22:06 | < Ceddo> | Love those launchers. |
| 22:06 | < Soren> | me too. |
| 22:06 | < Soren> | I bought parts for many of them. |
| 22:06 | < Ceddo> | Actually, consider them insta snatched. |
| 22:07 | < Ceddo> | They are now going to be on my roomies arty 'frames. |
| 22:08 | < Soren> | I approve |
| 22:09 | < Ceddo> | Yay! |
| 22:09 | < Ceddo> | Okay. |
| 22:09 | < Ceddo> | So. |
| 22:09 | < Ceddo> | 6 'frames. |
| 22:09 | < Ceddo> | They are going to be all wheeled. |
| 22:09 | < Ceddo> | As in, wheel-heels. |
| 22:09 | < Ceddo> | THat being said, no HtH. Just dakka and arty. |
| 22:09 | < Ceddo> | Damage focus, so a fair amount of spotting is asked for. |
| 22:10 | < Ceddo> | Those are the stipulations. |
| 22:10 | < Ceddo> | We are looking at GWW as the base 'frame, and have 3 systems on each 'frame to assign. |
| 22:14 | < Ceddo> | So I would try to go RaRaYYGWW for two of them - the fast variant of my "racoon" loadout that calculus favors. The difference in Def is marginal, but it can move through and into cover. |
| 22:14 | < Soren> | hrrrm. |
| 22:15 | < Soren> | I'm broadly in favor of double-yellow/ |
| 22:16 | < Soren> | but I'm also wondering f you don't want to make RdRdYYGWW your soldier config and RaRaRad8BGWW your artillery. |
| 22:16 | < Ceddo> | Mhmm. Ditch the B on the Soldier? |
| 22:16 | < Ceddo> | But get the 2x Y, and retain speed? |
| 22:16 | < Soren> | potentially. |
| 22:16 | < Ceddo> | *rubs chin* |
| 22:16 | < Soren> | it's one option. |
| 22:16 | < Ceddo> | It certainly is. |
| 22:17 | < Ceddo> | But then I need 4 Soldiers. |
| 22:17 | < Soren> | yeah. |
| 22:17 | < Ceddo> | For redundancy of spots. |
| 22:17 | < Ceddo> | But I see your point. |
| 22:17 | < Soren> | So your artillery design might be the better option. |
| 22:17 | < Ceddo> | High spot + d8. |
| 22:17 | < Soren> | yeah |
| 22:17 | < Ceddo> | Well, you notch the damage up and sacrifice a bit of redundancy. |
| 22:17 | < Ceddo> | See, I claim that spot's the most important source of damage. |
| 22:18 | < Soren> | it requires a really good plan from turn 1. |
| 22:18 | < Soren> | see, I agree with you, BUT. |
| 22:18 | < Soren> | if you play well enough to land those crucial heavy hits on the right guy, it's devastating. |
| 22:19 | < Soren> | try your config and see. I'm interested to know which one works better. |
| 22:20 | < Ceddo> | Alrightey. |
| 22:20 | < Ceddo> | So RaRaYYG is Arty. Two of those should do. |
| 22:20 | < Soren> | I'd give that guy a blue, actually, on reflection. |
| 22:20 | < Soren> | He doesn't need to do much if any moving. |
| 22:20 | < Ceddo> | See, that was my thought, too. But here's the point Daniel (calculus) made: |
| 22:21 | < Ceddo> | The EV between 2d White + 1d Blue and 2d White is marginal. |
| 22:21 | < Ceddo> | 1 Blue does nothing. |
| 22:21 | < Soren> | hmm! |
| 22:21 | < Ceddo> | 1 Green gives you way better battlefield usage. |
| 22:21 | < Ceddo> | You can go INTO cover. |
| 22:21 | < Ceddo> | And through it. |
| 22:21 | < Soren> | that's sensible. |
| 22:22 | < Ceddo> | You can shake off pursuers just through that, and if you are IN cover, instead of BEHIND cover, no one get's a clean shot. |
| 22:22 | < Soren> | I guess, also, if you've got elevation, you can climb around on that. |
| 22:22 | < Ceddo> | Cover shelled to bits? Move. |
| 22:22 | < Ceddo> | Yeppers. |
| 22:22 | < Soren> | I think that would be dependent on the battlefield for me. |
| 22:22 | < Ceddo> | So, the point is that the loss for Def is marginal, as you pretty much DEDICATE both Whites to it. |
| 22:22 | < Soren> | But I like this reasoning. |
| 22:23 | < Ceddo> | And 1G does more than 1B. |
| 22:23 | < Ceddo> | So, that's where Daniel comes from, and I am curious enough to give it a shot. |
| 22:23 | < Ceddo> | So I got two spotters with Arty and movement in the back. |
| 22:24 | < Ceddo> | For the front line guys, I am thinking another 2 split. |
| 22:24 | < Soren> | Yeah, by that logic it's certainly worth a shot. |
| 22:24 | < Ceddo> | Two go 2x DF B G WW. Heavy guns. |
| 22:24 | < Ceddo> | Two go DF Y B G. Standard Soldiers. |
| 22:24 | < Ceddo> | I lose some spot, but get that d8 I had in your config. |
| 22:25 | < Ceddo> | Admittedly, only DF. |
| 22:25 | < Ceddo> | But I have Greens. |
| 22:25 | < Soren> | mm. Yeah, but that's nothing to sneeze at. |
| 22:25 | < Ceddo> | The Standard Soldiers get two, respectively one SSR. |
| 22:25 | < Ceddo> | So they can use high spots if need be - as in, if the big guns aren't in range. |
| 22:26 | < Soren> | yeah. |
| 22:26 | < Ceddo> | And that's it, pretty much. :D |
| 22:26 | < Soren> | I can see that being pretty effective. |
| 22:27 | < Ceddo> | Say, you dirty person ... issat a 1x2 /w stud in the launchers? |
| 22:27 | < Ceddo> | Or just a travis orgy? |
| 22:27 | < Ceddo> | Oh wait. |
| 22:27 | < Ceddo> | Are those ... headlight bricks? |
| 22:27 | < Soren> | it's that modified rocket-engine brick. |
| 22:27 | < Ceddo> | ... |
| 22:28 | < Ceddo> | THat's a motor. |
| 22:28 | < Ceddo> | Isn't it? |
| 22:28 | < Soren> | then a headlight and a 1x1 technic brick |
| 22:28 | < Soren> | yeah |
| 22:28 | < Ceddo> | Headlight into technic, 1x1 clip tile down. |
| 22:28 | < Soren> | yeah |
| 22:29 | < Ceddo> | Mhmm, prolly need to rework it to work the other way around, but that shouldn't be too hard. |
| 22:29 | < Ceddo> | Actually, it is. Damn motor. :D |
| 22:29 | < Ceddo> | *tinkers* |
| 22:43 | < Ceddo> | Gnrrrh. |
| 22:44 | < Ceddo> | Okay. This don't work. Mhrrm. |
| 22:51 | < afny> | back |
| 22:51 | < afny> | how it do |
| 23:01 | < Ceddo> | Soren! |
| 23:01 | < Ceddo> | Afny! |
| 23:02 | < Ceddo> | I have a problem. |
| 23:02 | < Ceddo> | What's a proper 2x DF system? |
| 23:02 | | afny|away [afny@Nightstar-42c41d95.res.rr.com] has joined #mf0 |
| 23:02 | < Ceddo> | Don't say akimbo weapons. |
| 23:02 | < afny> | I usually do one gun and one unguided missile pod |
| 23:02 | < afny> | or one handheld and one vulcan |
| 23:02 | < Ceddo> | Mhmm. |
| 23:03 | < afny> | another easy solution if you're just doing something genric is to mount a grenade launcher on your rifle |
| 23:03 | < afny> | I've done some big ones with a round 1 x 1 brick, but I also just like pinning a pair of binoculars to the bottom of a gun |
| 23:04 | | afny|away is now known as afny_ |
| 23:08 | < afny_> | you could get ambitious and use bits |
| 23:08 | < afny_> | but if you're going to field them they need transparent stands |
| 23:14 | < Ceddo> | There's no generic. :D |
| 23:14 | < Ceddo> | Those are going to be 6 Minxes. |
| 23:14 | < afny_> | yeah, a tiny mounted grenade launcher is definitely more conscript territory |
| 23:20 | < Ceddo> | Yipp. :D |
| 23:21 | < Ceddo> | My assault rifle for 2d6 is already massive. |
| 23:21 | < Ceddo> | 2 bricks, 2 plates high, 6 bricks, 2 plates long. |
| 23:38 | < Soren> | Yeah, I just double the rifle's size for double-direct. |
| 23:41 | < Ceddo> | Oh good god. |
| 23:41 | < Ceddo> | I think I just came. |
| 23:41 | < Ceddo> | I took your launcher design. |
| 23:42 | < Ceddo> | Played around with it using 1x2 studded bricks. |
| 23:42 | < Ceddo> | Made it three times as long. |
| 23:42 | < Ceddo> | It looks like it is about to launch some serious Russian ICBMs. :D |
| 23:42 | < Soren> | Yeah, I tried a 2x4 version earlier. It's waiting for a suitable frame. |
| 23:42 | < Ceddo> | I'm at 2x6. |
| 23:42 | < Soren> | try three or more of them on the same design, The hex shape looks really good. |
| 23:43 | < Ceddo> | Heh. |
| 23:43 | < Ceddo> | Nah, I needed the middle slot for a massive radio antenna. |
| 23:43 | < Ceddo> | Gave the 'frame some targetting stuff near the cockpit, but that felt cheap for 2Y. |
| 23:43 | < Soren> | sure |
| 23:43 | < Ceddo> | So he got a massive antenna in the back, too. |
| 23:43 | < Ceddo> | The 1x8 one. |

| 23:44 | < Ceddo> | Soren's a sweet and sick bastard. |
| 23:44 | < Ceddo> | That bike's killer. |
| 23:44 | < Ceddo> | Oh, DUDE. |
| 23:44 | < Ceddo> | I am such a Rere. |
| 23:45 | < Soren> | Okay, two Super Striders in pink = the win. |
| 23:45 | < Ceddo> | I meant to post this ( http://www.mobileframehangar.com/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=1441&p=9210#p9210 ) two hours ago. |
| 23:45 | < Ceddo> | But I left the preview window open and merrily derped on. |
| 23:49 | < Soren> | sand green 1x1 slopes are pretty hot. That is kind of a lot of them. |
| 23:49 | < Ceddo> | Well, I have 150 of them ... |
| 23:49 | < Ceddo> | And only the Serpent Legion uses the,. |
| 23:49 | < Ceddo> | So I get carried away. |
| 23:50 | < Ceddo> | Do you want some? |
| 23:50 | < Ceddo> | I could totally send you like 40. :D :D |
| 23:50 | < Soren> | I could really go for that, actually. |
| 23:50 | < Soren> | Hmm. |
| 23:51 | < Soren> | If you could set them aside, maybe? |
| 23:51 | < Soren> | I'm not sure there's a good way to ship them to me. |
| 23:53 | < Ceddo> | There is. |
| 23:53 | < Ceddo> | It's called Deutsche Post International Flatrate Airmail Priority Letter. |
| 23:53 | < Soren> | yeah, fuck it. |
| 23:53 | < Ceddo> | 4 bucks, worldwide, easy as pie. |
| 23:53 | < Soren> | Let's go for it. |
| 23:53 | < Soren> | I got four bucks. |
| 23:54 | < Soren> | Or would you rather I sent you something cool back? |
| 23:54 | < Ceddo> | Much rather. |
| 23:54 | < Ceddo> | I have a well-paid gov job. |
| 23:54 | < Soren> | okay! |
| 23:54 | < Ceddo> | What I don't have is cool stuff from cool dudes on the interwebz. |
| 23:54 | < Ceddo> | Well, I do. |
| 23:54 | < Ceddo> | But not from you. :D |
| 23:54 | < Soren> | hee |
| 23:54 | < Soren> | all right. |
| 23:55 | < Soren> | some purple to start with :D |
| 23:55 | < Ceddo> | Lemme just quickly count how many I have left. |
| 23:56 | < Ceddo> | Yeah, 85 of 'em left. |
| 23:56 | < Ceddo> | Name a number. I wanna keep like 20. |
| 23:56 | < Soren> | 40 sounds good. |
| 23:57 | < Soren> | 60 if you feel generous. |
| 23:57 | < Soren> | but 40 should set me up. |
| 23:57 | < Ceddo> | Lemme check how many I used. |
| 23:57 | < afny> | every other frame I see you build is like |
| 23:57 | < afny> | half sand green slopes |
| 23:57 | < Soren> | Oh, hey. let me send you a Bionicle mask. |
| 23:58 | < Ceddo> | 28 on the Elder Naga ... 20 on 4x Old Couatls ... 23 on the Castellan. |
| 23:58 | < Soren> | Do you fancy the Command Scrambler, or would you rather have something green? |
| 23:58 | < Ceddo> | So I used 71 slopes. |
| 23:58 | < Ceddo> | Yeah, you get 60. |
| 23:59 | < Soren> | sweet. |
| 23:59 | < Soren> | Thanks! |
| 23:59 | < Ceddo> | Mhmm. |
| 23:59 | < Ceddo> | No problem, man. |
| 23:59 | < Ceddo> | I bit the bullet and got myself two Brandenburg Gates. |
| 23:59 | < Soren> | so, green or white mask? |
| 23:59 | < Soren> | I got plenty of both. |
| 23:59 | < Ceddo> | Well, I don't really like the Bionicle stuff, to be honest. |
| 23:59 | < afny> | Command scrambler though! |
| 23:59 | < Soren> | Yeah! |
| 23:59 | < afny> | Don't you need more Ijad frames? |
| 23:59 | < Ceddo> | The gold balls? |
