Hello hurt train.
00:00
< Ceddo>
They are also nigh on 200pts at that point, though.
00:00
< Ceddo>
They may not die. But you can tarpit them.
00:00
< KarolineDianne>
I even hate how they're not the right scale in the models. Space marines are supposed to be 7-8 foot tall monsters, but they're barely any taller than an imperial guardsman model, in height or girth.
00:00
< Tetrajak>
I enjoy how this has turned into Warframe 40k
00:00
< KarolineDianne>
Tarpit?
00:01
< Ceddo>
Tarpitting. Throw a cheap unit with tons of models at an expensive unit with few models.
00:01
< Ceddo>
Sure, they kill the cheap stuff.
00:01
< Ceddo>
But they cannot move while they do that.
00:01
< Ceddo>
They are stuck in a tarpit. And uselessly bound chewing through something a quarter of their worth.
00:01
< Ceddo>
IG can tarpit, so can Nurglings.
00:01
< Ceddo>
Well, Orks are the kings of tarpitting, just like Tyranids.

SL?
00:02

Same link for you, TJ. ;)
00:04
< KarolineDianne>
I just wanna run a force of a handful of really tough units. Is that so bad?
00:04
< Ceddo>
Nah.
00:04
< Tetrajak>
Ah yes, that one
00:04 * KarolineDianne does not feel comfortable without a 3+ armor save and 5+ ward save
00:04
< Ceddo>
Just not always feasible.
00:04 * KarolineDianne on every model in her army
00:04

Where do you get the +5 invul from?
00:04 * KarolineDianne at least

Oh.

Mark of Tzeentch
00:04
< Ceddo>
Tzeentch.
00:04
< Ceddo>
Yeah.
00:05
< Ceddo>
Expensive.
00:05
< KarolineDianne>
Expensive, yes, but it's what I want, so I pay for it.
00:05
< Ceddo>
Answer: High STR weaponry. Or, even better: NEMESIS FORCE WEAPONS.
00:05

00:07

It's ugly.

They have a mandatory annual price hike of 10%
00:08
< Ceddo>
Uploading my Daemonhunters now.
00:08
< KarolineDianne>
It's ugly, it doesn't match up or look anything like other Imperial designs... It makes no sense. The Imperium is actively AGAINST making anything new... And yet here we have this giant brand new mech in the -gray knights-... The GRAY KNIGHTS have something that looks like a heretech got a boner looking at a wraithlord and made something similar

00:14

Sing me a song of how you die.
00:14
< Soren>
all this talk of godhammers and organs isn't helping, you two.
00:14
< KarolineDianne>
Maybe I like talking about epic penis
00:14
< Ceddo>
Oh, you built it yourself?
00:14
< KarolineDianne>
Yes.
00:14
< KarolineDianne>
I do conversions out the wazoo
00:14
< Ceddo>
In that case. I forgot Landraiders come like that.
00:14
< Ceddo>
Mine's pretty much stock.
00:15
< Ceddo>
Only that it's not. :D
00:15
< KarolineDianne>
Give me a box of bits, a hobby knife, and some green-stuff epoxy putty, and I'll make something awesome.
00:15
< Ceddo>
I know that feel, bro.
00:15
< Ceddo>
Eh, I am done.
00:15
< KarolineDianne>
Just... Ask me to paint it, and we have a problem.
00:15
< MittenNinja>
Hey Soren, what stickers do you use for those SSRs?
00:16
< MittenNinja>
Ooooo I can paint!

Hey TJ

< randolph>
Noah: Karoline was wondering if the mf0 bot ignored her because the joke was too bad. I was suggesting that as a project (jokingly)
00:19
< Ceddo>
KD: Did you read of the Carcharadons?
00:19
< KarolineDianne>
Carcharadons...? What?
00:19
< Ceddo>
I should take some pictures of those bad boys. I have a few scouts done up.
00:19
< KarolineDianne>
And.. I'm just not good at painting. My stuff looks TERRIBLE when I paint it. It looks better if I leave it gray and green.
00:19
< Ceddo>
Space Sharks. Got lost some 4000 years ago, and came back in the Badab Uprising.

Next time, the roomies and I have decided, we do a three way game with report.
00:27
< Dukayn>
and still we wait on schoon for our battle
00:28
< Ceddo>
Oh, dude. If he isn't done tomorrow, I'll roll for him. ;)
00:28
< Tetrajak>
Ced: This sounds like a plan I would be interested in seeing the results in
00:28
< Ceddo>
TJ: Well, two way games are possible.
00:28
< Ceddo>
It's just a bitch to take every picture.
00:28
< Ceddo>
I forget. Turns flow.
00:28
< Ceddo>
There's cross activations.
00:28
< Ceddo>
But we have already decided that Admiral Ackbar will play a role again.
00:29
< Ceddo>
We need a bigger play area, too.
00:29
< Ceddo>
1,20m x 1,20m is too small already.
00:30
< Ceddo>
We're gonna try 1,60m x 1,60m next time, in the Anne-Frank-Memorial-Corner
00:32
< Tetrajak>
Wow, 1.2m is still rather large though
00:33
< Tetrajak>
but I guess in a 3 player match you'd definitely need a lot more space
00:33
< Ceddo>
TJ: Well, read the last two reports I posted. Those are played on 1,20m x 1,20m.
00:34
< Ceddo>
We're using 1x4 hinge blocks as ruler elements.
00:36
< Dukayn>
You know what I realised? We haven't had an initiative adjustment in our PbP yet.
00:37
< Dukayn>
Shouldn't we have had at least 2 by now? When Carrot died and when I tagged the station?
00:37
< Soren>
is the netcockalypse over?

Dukayn: the duel of epic nerdwang between Ced and KD
00:38
< Soren>
metaphorical nerdwang, but still.
00:38
< Soren>
It was floppy.
00:39
< Dukayn>
ah huh
00:39
< KarolineDianne>
D'aww... Floppy's no fun
00:39
< Dukayn>
is that what all that 40k talk was when I came in?
00:39
< Ceddo>
Dukayn: Yes. -3 for Trilly, +6 for you.
00:39

Yeah.
00:39

But that's so mean. :D
00:40

Well, yeah
00:40
< Ceddo>
He tries. :/
00:41
< Dukayn>
Oh, I know. It's just hard when you have players wanting to play and we can't because the "GM" or what have you isn't available :P
00:41
< Dukayn>
We should setup a channel for irc bouts
00:42
< Tetrajak>
Netwang contests?
00:42
< Tetrajak>
or are we talking MFZ fights?
00:42
< Dukayn>
MFZ
00:42
< Dukayn>
I don't care for netwang contests
00:42
< Tetrajak>
nor I
00:42
< Dukayn>
I figure if you're in an IRC channel for a tabletop wargame consisting of lego mechs, well you're well and truly nerdy enough.

Shoutcast?
00:44

Ced: It's one of those things.
00:44

Like Helen Keller jokes
00:44
< Ceddo>
I have no idea who that is.
00:45
< Dukayn>
I've heard of both but get neither
00:45
< Ceddo>
We have a storage area, under the ceiling. And it has a little latch, so you can reach the deep parts of it.
00:45
< Ceddo>
And because the latch is expertly hidden, we dubbed it the Anne Frank Memorial Latch.
00:45
< Ceddo>
Which then became the Anne Frank Memorial Storage.
00:46
< Ceddo>
And eventually, the entire area was dubbed Anne Frank Memorial Corner.
00:46
< Dukayn>
Who the fuck is Anne Frank?
00:46
< randolph>
Omg, check wikipedia, you ignorant slut
00:46
< Ceddo>
She wrote a book.

AF was a Jewish girl who hid from the Nazis with her family on an attic.
00:46
< Ceddo>
She kept a diary.
00:46
< KarolineDianne>
Yes
00:46
< Ceddo>
It became a best selling book
00:46
< KarolineDianne>
Diary of Anne Frank
00:47

Guess who found it?
00:47

yeah, douchebaggery via internet is still douchebaggery
00:48

it costs nothing to not be an asshole

Glad you could chime in.
00:50

I like that when he did, it was with profanity
00:50
< Ceddo>
"Could you pass me the butter, please?" - "GO CHURN YOUR OWN FUCKING COW MILK."
00:50
< randolph>
Hehe
00:50 * Ceddo is oldschool.
00:50
< randolph>
I was referencing SNL
00:50
< Soren>
and Af seems to think I'll pay more attention to *his* penis if he yells a lot.
00:50
< Ceddo>
It works for me.
00:50
< Ceddo>
Might just be my penis, though.
00:51
< Soren>
we've just got a whole forest of penis in the channel right now. It's crazy.
00:51
< KarolineDianne>
Can we stop talking about penises, it's very distracting
00:51

(The SNL point-counterpoint sketches: i.e. "Jane, you ignorant slut.")

SO MANY OF THEM.

01:39
< Tetrajak>
It's good fun to watch as a series

But yea, mostly I just like the intro in the scope of my battle sims

01:40
< Tetrajak>
I think I'll avoid taking it any further

I need to somehow summarise it, but I can't seem to get in all the points I'd like to make by doing so

hi yeah
01:48
< randolph>
sorry, the littel one is whiny
01:48
< Tetrajak>
randolph: I figure the best way to resolve this debate is for us to test our theories against one-another
01:48
< randolph>
hehe
01:48
< Tetrajak>
in MFZ battles, of course
01:48
< randolph>
oh
01:48 * randolph puts away the lascannon
01:49
< Tetrajak>
lol
01:49
< Tetrajak>
I will otherwise never get my points across in anything less than a large essay
01:49
< randolph>
Well, I don't mind a long essay
01:49
< Tetrajak>
In short; I think your approach is impractical. The only way to really test this is with actual MFZ battles
01:50
< randolph>
Hm.
01:50
< randolph>
What would you take instead of a 2nd Y?
01:50
< Dukayn>
so run a pbp :P
01:51
< Tetrajak>
yes, that is what I am proposing
01:51
< Tetrajak>
as for the replacement of the 2nd Y, that depends on the role the frame is taking.
01:51
< Tetrajak>
and the weapon it has
01:52
< randolph>
So, my concern about running a sim is that they would have to be really similar
01:52
< randolph>
the companies
01:52
< randolph>
Because otherwise, you have confounding variables
01:52
< Tetrajak>
what sort of confounding variables?
01:53
< randolph>
Well, in short, "Is it that 2Y is weak, or that ??? is OP"
01:53
< randolph>
Or even the reverse
01:53
< Tetrajak>
I think my main point is that your 2Y company idea doesn't stand up to said confounding variables, and that's why it's not a good idea
01:53
< randolph>
"Was 2Y better, or was ??? too weak"
01:53
< randolph>
Hm.
01:53
< randolph>
Did you see my sim?
01:53
< Tetrajak>
which one?
01:53
< Tetrajak>
there are many sims
01:53
< randolph>
WT doctrine sim 1 & 2
01:53
< randolph>
I whored the hell out of those 2Y
01:54
< Tetrajak>
Yes, I'm sure you did
01:54
< randolph>
I needed it - there were a lot of times I would have had to shoot without spot otherwise
01:55
< randolph>
There were a couple instances where I had to take a shot at a worse target because the 2nd Y was shot off
01:55
< Tetrajak>
My point is not whether 2Y is better or worse than another company on an all-other-specs-are-equivalent playing field, but that 2Y doesn't stand up to a number of other company configurations and actual battle setups
01:55
< randolph>
Hm.
01:55
< randolph>
I was more thinking
01:56
< randolph>
Frame spec X, vs you pick an adversary company, compare results to Frame spec X, swapping one thing out for Y vs. same adversary company
01:57
< randolph>
So they're fighting the same other company composition, instead of each other, which might mask the actual effect
01:57
< randolph>
Same tactics, same dice (logged)
01:57
< randolph>
Or, rather, same tactics on the part of the adversary
01:57
< randolph>
only changing tactics for 2Y if the 2nd Y added anything
01:58
< randolph>
i.e. obviously, we can't have the 1Y spot the same things as the 2Y
01:58
< Tetrajak>
I think that approach modifies the real-world variables far too much
01:58
< Tetrajak>
your approach is incredibly artificial
01:58
< randolph>
Hm.
01:58
< randolph>
But then it doesn't prove anything
01:59
< randolph>
If 1Y wins piloted by you, it could be that you're better
01:59
< randolph>
If 2Y wins piloted by me, it could be that I'm better
01:59
< randolph>
It doesn't show that it was the Y
01:59
< randolph>
(or whatever you subbed out the 2nd Y for)
01:59
< Tetrajak>
That's kind of my point though; It's not about the 2Y
01:59
< Dukayn>
I don't see the point
02:00
< Tetrajak>
you need to consider the build of the entire frame, not just focus on the 2Y
02:00
< Tetrajak>
and the build of the entire company
02:00
< Dukayn>
When it comes to playing, you're ALWAYS going to be playing another person
02:00
< randolph>
Er, I'm saying if you don't use standardized methodology, you can't cancel out player skill
02:00
< Tetrajak>
there ARE a lot of other factors, and you shouldn't ignore them
02:00
< Tetrajak>
well, sure, run the sims versus yourself
02:00
< Dukayn>
You CAN'T cancel out player skill
02:00
< randolph>
If you don't cancel out player skill, you can't give advice on builds, because you can't measure that guy's skill
02:01
< Dukayn>
Sure you can
02:01
< randolph>
"This thing works for me, but I have no idea how well you'll do" isn't useful, from a strategic knowledge standpoint
02:01
< Dukayn>
But in the end, even if he has the "best" company, if he's no good he's still gonna get killed.
02:01
< Tetrajak>
You can; it's why I post my lessons learned
02:02
< randolph>
Er.
02:02
< randolph>
Do you play any fighting games?
02:02
< randolph>
Or possibly Starcraft?
02:02
< randolph>
Or even Magic: the Gathering?
02:02
< Dukayn>
Yes
02:02
< Tetrajak>
I have, yes
02:03
< randolph>
Ok, are you familiar with the tourney scene?
02:03
< randolph>
even loosely
02:03
< Tetrajak>
I've heard of, loosely, from those more serious players that I know
02:03
< Dukayn>
No, I don't do tournament play. In anything. They aren't fun.
02:03
< randolph>
ok, for which game?
02:03
< Tetrajak>
Dukayn: I'm with you there
02:03
< randolph>
or games
02:03
< Tetrajak>
Magic, and a bit of Starcraft; regarding toueneys.
02:03
< randolph>
I find them fun, but that's neither here nor there. I used to play competitively for FG and MtG
02:03
< randolph>
ok
02:03
< randolph>
Let's use MtG
02:04
< randolph>
(I don't play Starcraft, my friends do)
02:04
< randolph>
There are tourney-quality decks. There are tourney-quality players. Not every tourney-quality player is right for every tourney-quality deck.
02:05
< Tetrajak>
mhm
02:05
< randolph>
Some players are excellent at technical play, some are great at headgames, some are great at threat assessment, and so on. Very few are good at every archetype
02:05
< randolph>
Luck enters into it, and the deck matchup enters into it, but just because I have the winningest deck design, doesn't mean, Kai Budde could pilot it to victory
02:06
< Tetrajak>
indeed
02:06
< randolph>
But in the abstract, you can still talk about how Aggro is too strong in the current environment
02:06
< randolph>
Or that Combo needs help
02:06
< randolph>
Even if The current world champ can't play Aggro worth a damn
02:06
< randolph>
So, that's what I'm trying to capture here
02:07
< randolph>
"[systems design philosophies] are good, [other system design philosophies are weak or situational, strong against these other XYZ], not taking into account player skill"
02:07
< Dukayn>
Well, from what I've read, it sounds like you're trying to say "this is the best company, use this and you'll win regardless".
02:07
< randolph>
No
02:07
< randolph>
Well, no, that's not what I mean
02:08
< randolph>
I try to qualify "assuming perfect play" in everything, but I sometimes miss it, especially if it's a quote tree four deep
02:08
< Dukayn>
It's how it's coming across though :)
02:08
< randolph>
I mean, don't get me wrong, I am looking for that. If I find it, I want Josh and Vincent to change it before it goes live :P
02:09
< Tetrajak>
lol, yea, I'm looking for it too, and I'm with you on expunging it

Hey Soren

< Soren>
whups.
02:09
< Dukayn>
welcome back
02:09
< Soren>
So, I feel like I gotta weigh in here as the Starcraft player who is here.
02:09
< Tetrajak>
randolph: would I be correct in assessing that you're trying to gauge in what scenarios 2Y is effective, and just how effective it is versus other builds?
02:10
< Soren>
Also I was about to fall asleep and getting in some theory ass will keep me awake.
02:10
< randolph>
yes. and also in what situations it isn't effective
02:10
< randolph>
And whether you can avoid those situations with proper play
02:11
< randolph>
(i.e. if it's possible to optimize engagement profile)
02:11
< Soren>
I think it is, but i think it's also extremely variable.
02:12
< Soren>
For example: In Starcraft I'm anti-scouting. That's because 95% of the time just practicing a standard play and macroing my ass off will win me the game.
02:12
< Soren>
That doesn't mean you shouldn't scout
02:12
< randolph>
Sure, I'm not suggesting you can totally write out variance
02:13
< Soren>
But it's a tactic that plays really well to my strengths as a player.
02:13
< randolph>
I'm saying, given equal variance, what are the winningest strateg(ies) for optimal play
02:13
< randolph>
If the endstate after you collapse it all down is paper-rock-scissors, I will be pleased as punch
02:13
< Soren>
I think we're about a year out from knowing enough to ask that question and get a meaningful answer.

oh wait
02:15
< Tetrajak_>
there are lods
02:15
< Tetrajak_>
logs*
02:15
< Soren>
that there are.
02:16
< randolph>
Soren: I know we're far out from being able to meaningfully answer that - but that doesn't mean there aren't hidden degenerate strategies (nudge nudge)
02:16
< randolph>
I think that the conversation needs to be started sooner rather than later
02:16
< Soren>
oh, totally. I'm just saying that there's probably not enough developed metagame yet to start digging those strategies out.
02:17
< randolph>
yeah.
02:17
< Soren>
I'm impressed by the level of damage Ced's been laying out with 2Ys and Y-heavy compositions. But I'm wondering how tough it is on defense or against heavy artillery.
02:18
< Soren>
I bet there's a build that just fucking cracks it like an egg.
02:18
< Dukayn>
He's definitely subscribed to the "Rapid Attack" mantra :)
02:19
< Soren>
The thing about heavy-damage ranged compositions is that I can just take more guys than you and Lanchester Square Law my way to victory.
02:19
< randolph>
I think that, unless you're at a significant Activation Deficit, defender is *even better*
02:20
< randolph>
Focus fire to make the field level before next round, and you still get to keep the init
02:20
< Soren>
yeah, potentially.
02:21
< Soren>
again, though, the answer might be to do the same thing but more of it and just hammer him until he breaks.
02:21
< randolph>
Heh, yes.
02:21
< randolph>
However
02:21
< randolph>
If it's the mirror match, you with more systems or 1 more unit, defender still gets focus fire privs
02:22
< Soren>
it's true.
02:22
< randolph>
And besides, I'd hate to see the meta descend into "Beat X by using X+1"
02:22
< Soren>
but I can mitigate that by forcing his hand when choosing targets.
02:22
< randolph>
Have you seen USF?
02:23
< randolph>
It's the same frame spammed 6 times (skirmish)
02:23
< Soren>
I am not even familiar with the acronym.
02:23
< randolph>
Universal Spotted Fire
02:23
< Soren>
ah.
02:23
< Soren>
I think I'm vaguely familiar, yes
02:23
< randolph>
it's split Arty/Direct, 2Y, 1G
02:23
< randolph>
There are no bad activations
02:23
< Soren>
yeah, Glass Cannons.
02:24
< Soren>
I like the redundancy.
02:24
< randolph>
They're really hard to put out of commission
02:24
< randolph>
they keep being a PITA til the last die
02:24
< randolph>
Kinda glad split systems are optional
02:24
< randolph>
hehe
02:25
< Tetrajak_>
The only problem I've found with the USF's is that the split range causes trouble with bad dice luck
02:25
< Soren>
I don't think the metagame is in danger of becoming all one thing, though.
02:26
< randolph>
It's true, they put a lot of emphasis on all options
02:26
< Soren>
Some strategies demand more thought than others, though

Oop, Game of Thrones has started. Time to quit Twitter
02:29
< randolph>
hehe
02:30
< randolph>
Tetrajak: The thing is, I'm counting on taking more shots than the other team to make up for getting screwed by dice more often
02:30
< randolph>
That's how you kill USF
02:30
< randolph>
They're stretched thin, and are doing everything they can to actively hinder your useful activations
02:31
< randolph>
If you can take your actions anyway, then they're forced to allocate resources to playing the game "normally"
02:31
< randolph>
And they fall apart because they're jacks of all trades
02:32
< randolph>
But as far as I can tell, it's still possible to maintain that threshold with USF against a lot of comps with perfect play
02:32
< randolph>
It's almost decided during setup for USF... there's very little margin for error
02:33
< Tetrajak_>
Glass Cannons indeed
02:33
< randolph>
heh
02:34
< Tetrajak_>
Perhaps all these battle sims with heavy spotting are hinting at the 2Y bonus being too powerful?
02:34

I see them more like the Leapers in D2
02:34

Not that tough, don't hit that hard
02:34

But they're a bitch because they prevent you from doing your thing

02:37

Ah, now that's a reference I get

Right, these guy swill actively run and dodge if you try to attck

re: nerfing 2Y, I hope it's not currently OP, won't be surprised if it ends up being so
02:39
< randolph>
Hm.
02:39
< randolph>
See, I think it's not actually that it's game-warping
02:39
< randolph>
I just think Blue is too weak, and 2nd Green is too weak
02:39
< randolph>
Blue is weak by design
02:39
< Tetrajak_>
You might be right there
02:39
< Soren>
well, the thing is, it's not too hard to knock it out unless all your guys have it.
02:39
< Soren>
there's really no reason to take 2G.
02:39
< randolph>
Oh, heh, you meant "specifically USF nerf" :p
02:40
< Tetrajak_>
randolph: I meant 2Y
02:40
< randolph>
sorry TJ, I was responding to Soren's "unless all your guys have it" thing
02:40
< Soren>
If you feel the need for a defense bonus, that smoke-grenade trick I mentioned earlier might help.
02:40
< randolph>
Soren: The way the game is set up, with offense being > defense, it's emergent that focus fire is king
02:40
< Soren>
sacrifice a SSR to cancel a spot.
02:41
< Tetrajak_>
randolph: all good, just making sure there's clarity
02:41
< randolph>
redundancy and distribution is how you fight focus fire
02:41
< Soren>
dunno how that optional rule holds up, but it could be decisive.
02:41
< randolph>
interesting
02:41
< Tetrajak_>
Soren: link me?
02:41
< randolph>
Do you do it on your turn, or reactive?
02:41
< Soren>
oh, I mentioned it on here, I just forgot if it was public or me egging Ced on.
02:42
< Soren>
on your turn.
02:42
< randolph>
Hmm.
02:42
< randolph>
It doesn't really stop focus-fire then, does it?
02:42
< Tetrajak_>
Soren: I must have missed it
02:42
< Soren>
no, just makes it less effective.
02:42
< randolph>
nod
02:43
< Soren>
then it was private, yeah.
02:43
< Soren>
you can't have more than one spot on something at a time, IIRC, hence the idea.
02:44
< randolph>
Right, I was thinking standard spot chain: A hits X unspotted, spot X. X goes (can remove spot now), B hits X spotted (or unspotted with smoke bomb), C hits X spotted, D hits X spotted...
02:44
< Soren>
breaking chains like that is the biggest use, yeah
02:44
< randolph>
I think that hurts non USF more than USF
02:44
< Soren>
probably.

yeah, I'm not prepared to say.
02:46
< Soren>
I dont think anybody knows, but I know I sure don't.
02:46
< randolph>
My gut feeling after the sims was that they'd be eaten alive by a DF 2Y squad, just getting outgunned
02:46
< randolph>
Because I feared the DF more than Arty or HtH
02:46
< randolph>
potential 14 range force projection is rather a lot
02:47
< Soren>
yeah.
02:49
< randolph>
Heh.
02:49
< randolph>
Against USF, Green is *not* better than Blue
02:49
< randolph>
Because you're getting hit every turn
02:49
< randolph>
No matter where you go
02:50
< Soren>
yep.
02:51

also cover is variably useful depending on number and configuration of parts.

Based on the design philosophy stuff, I think Blue can't really be buffed
02:57
< randolph>
It's supposed to be this thing you only take situationally, because whenever Blue is effective, it slows the game down, and if people see that it's effective, it *slows the game down more*, in a vicious cycle, as more people bring it, thus carrying fewer offensive options
02:58
< Dukayn>
Yeah

meaning he has been

I just don't know when

randolph: I believe the basics here are two things
03:01
< Dukayn>
That's not what it means, it just means that Tennant would like him to be.
03:02
<@McMartin>
(a) Probably one of those filthy scots or irishmen, and you know how they are, at least if you are a 19th Century Englishman
03:02
< Dukayn>
That's like saying "I'm complaining that my car isn't a Ferrari". That doesn't mean I used to have one, just that I wished that I did.
03:02

(b) The red-headed stepchild is even more clearly Not Of The Father's Kin and so mistreating them is acceptable.

< Dukayn>
yes
03:42
<~Noah>
Yes
03:42
< randolph>
I have some in yellow from Cool Cruiser
03:42
<~Noah>
fuck
03:43
< randolph>
Haven't found a use because yellow :|
03:44
< randolph>
Oh, ruler hinges?
03:44
< randolph>
1x1 brackets?
03:45
<~Noah>
Already made a ruler from 1x4s with locking fingers
03:45
<~Noah>
1x1 brackets?
03:45
< randolph>
http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=42446
03:46
<~Noah>
Ah, the amulet bracket
03:46
<~Noah>
Don't have any of those
03:46
< randolph>
They're situationally useful
03:46
< randolph>
binocs?
03:46
< Tetrajak_>
I have used sooooo very many of those 1x1 brackets (as randy calls them)
03:46
<~Noah>
Hmm, no binoculars
03:47
< Tetrajak_>
the brackets are immensely useful for shortening things
03:47
< Tetrajak_>
which is a bit hard to explain
03:47
< randolph>
they add extra joins, which compresses a construction that is join-limited
03:47
< Tetrajak_>
yes
03:47
< Tetrajak_>
exactly
03:48
<~Noah>
Well, he only has brown, and at .45 each
03:48
<~Noah>
So, fuck that
03:48
< randolph>
Oh, yeah, sorry, I bought all of them in the continental US.
03:48
<~Noah>
dick
03:48
< randolph>
Sorry bro. I needed to make my Mariah Carey LEGO shrine
03:49
<~Noah>
This guy's kind of high priced anyway
03:56
< MittenNinja>
If you look at the parts for an iguana and the heavy chub you pretty much have everything you'll need.
03:56
< MittenNinja>
Pretty sure I havent used anything else except for very special parts usage.
03:58
< randolph>
Whenever I see a motor in a frame arm, I think the hardsuit from the 1985 Transformer's Movie
03:58
< MittenNinja>
I'm not a huge fan of the motors
03:59
< MittenNinja>
With the possible of using them for the torso in mini-frame based stuff.
03:59
< MittenNinja>
*possible exception
04:00
< randolph>
I like them as intermediate building frameworks
04:01
< afny|away>
Good for larger weapons
04:01 afny|away is now known as afny
04:01
< randolph>
Like, I'll start with some stuff on it, using that to get things positioned, then generally it gets replaced
04:01
< MittenNinja>
Most of the time I'd rather use a Travis, headlight, or 1x2 Travis
04:02
< MittenNinja>
Or something completely different
04:03
< randolph>
Someday, the PAB wall will have headlights and travis bricks
04:03
< randolph>
someday
04:03
< MittenNinja>
The round part sticking out of the motor or the cut down height of it usually makes me not use them
04:03
< randolph>
(and that day, I will own 200 travis bricks)
04:03
< MittenNinja>
I wish
04:04
< MittenNinja>
That day I will buy them out
04:04
< randolph>
hehe
04:04
<~Noah>
You live near a Lego store?
04:04
< MittenNinja>
"How much for all of them?" "Uh... All of them?" "Yeah, all of em."
04:05
< MittenNinja>
Yeah, there's two in the Denver metro area
04:05
<~Noah>
"All of the Travis bricks." "Who's Travis?"
04:05
< MittenNinja>
I check both every few weeks or so.
04:05
<~Noah>
The closest one is a whole state over
04:05
< randolph>
Me, now, bitches
04:05
< randolph>
"Me, I'm travis, and those are my bricks"
04:06
< Dukayn>
I've found I like motors as hard-mounted weapon bases, such as in here: http://www.dukayn.net/MFZ/NewOsprey.png
04:07
< randolph>
They make great practice dummies
04:07
< Dukayn>
That also has one in the hips, but it could be replaced with a travis
04:08
< Tetrajak_>
ok, I need some help. I can't find a particular piece in LDD (shocking, I know), and I don't know it's name, so I'm having trouble finding it in the Bricklink catalog as well. However! There is a picture with it in. It is the piece used to hold the front wheel on this exquisite harley: http://www.flickr.com/photos/ironweasel/7331150234/in/contacts/ what is it?
04:08
< Dukayn>
robot arm
04:08
< Tetrajak_>
and where do I find it in LDD?
04:08
< Dukayn>
um.
04:08
< Tetrajak_>
exactly.
04:09
< Tetrajak_>
>.<
04:09
< Dukayn>
http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=4735
04:10
<~Noah>
Semi-relatedly, that bike is sweet
04:10
< Tetrajak_>
thanks for the brick-link, Dukayn.
04:10
< Tetrajak_>
it is indeed :D
04:10
< Dukayn>
s'ok
04:10
< Dukayn>
did that find it in LDD?
04:10
< Tetrajak_>
no :(
04:11
< Dukayn>
did you search the part id?
04:11
<~Noah>
Can you not search by part id?
04:11
< Dukayn>
yeah ya can
04:11
< Tetrajak_>
Yes!
04:11
<~Noah>
Oh, LDD, the official one
04:11
< Tetrajak_>
thank you!
04:11
< Tetrajak_>
I had no idea you could
04:11
< Dukayn>
haha
04:12
< Tetrajak_>
it's in with the technic connecters O_o
04:12
< Dukayn>
yep
04:12
< Tetrajak_>
That's so weird
04:13 * Dukayn shrugs
04:13
< Dukayn>
it's LDD
04:13
< randolph>
(Yeah CTD!)
04:13
< randolph>
I haven't ever actually booted that thing up
04:14
< randolph>
When I found the hangar, I downloaded MLCAD and never looked back
04:14 MittenNinja [MittenNinja@Nightstar-2a2412d1.tmodns.net] has quit [Ping timeout: 121 seconds]
04:14
< Dukayn>
I use LDD to throw stuff together
04:15
< Dukayn>
It helps with some stuff
04:15
< randolph>
Because of autojoins?
04:15
< Dukayn>
partly
04:15
< randolph>
Does it export to MLCAD?
04:15
< randolph>
Or do you have to redo it?
04:15
< Dukayn>
and partly because you can rotate stuff and see if placing that piece there will allow free movement, or bump into something.
04:15
< Dukayn>
It can export
04:15
< Tetrajak_>
it exports to ldr format, but it doesn't always work
04:15
< Dukayn>
but they are generally shit
04:15
< randolph>
heh
04:15
< Dukayn>
parts missing, rotated wrong
04:16
< Dukayn>
and if you're wanting to do a build guide all your bits are in the wrong order :P
04:16
< Tetrajak_>
I use it to draft designs
04:16
< randolph>
Sounds like it straddles the line between too much trouble and just useful enough proudly
04:16
< Tetrajak_>
lol, indeed
04:16
< Dukayn>
It's definitely useful
04:16
< Dukayn>
It's just not brilliant
04:17
< randolph>
Heh. Anyone here played Machinarium?
04:17
< Tetrajak_>
yes
04:17
< randolph>
I just realized that my Unity gun looks like the head of that guy in the observatory
04:17
<~Noah>
It's good as a virtual lego box, and not much else
04:17 MittenNinja [MittenNinja@Nightstar-84adbfcb.tmodns.net] has joined #mf0
04:18
< MittenNinja>
Bah andchat disconnected.me too. BLAST
04:18
< randolph>
The one with the plug in his eyesocket
04:18
< randolph>
The resemblance is stronger from the front where you get forced perspective
04:19
<~Noah>
MittenNinja: I'm beginning to wonder if it isn't your device, do you have a taskmanager or something?
04:19
< randolph>
alright, grabbing dinner
04:19
< randolph>
o/
04:19
< MittenNinja>
yeah
04:19
< MittenNinja>
But it shouldnt be auto killing anything
04:19
< MittenNinja>
And the app doesn't close
04:19
< Dukayn>
Check your settings
04:20
< Dukayn>
might be an idle timeout
04:20
< MittenNinja>
It just disconnects
04:20
<~Noah>
Sometimes it kills a service that an app is using
04:21
<~Noah>
That service is usually what is maintaining the connection. Uninstall the taskmanager temporarily to see if that helps
04:22
< Dukayn>
drunk Cersei is hilarious
04:22
< Dukayn>
tell me you guys watch Game of Thrones
04:24
< Soren>
yes.
04:24
< Dukayn>
good man
04:24
<~Noah>
Haven
04:24
<~Noah>
Ahem
04:24
<~Noah>
Haven't started the new season yet
04:24
< MittenNinja>
I have not seen it
04:24
< Soren>
going through the books right now, in advance of the seasons, by way of not killing things because suspense.
04:24
< Dukayn>
ah yeah
04:24
< Soren>
fucking love it. Sold on it from the title sequence on.
04:24
< Dukayn>
S2 finale was just on
04:25
< afny>
Don't spoil the finale
04:25
< afny>
even though I've read the books
04:25
< Dukayn>
I haven't seen it myself
04:25
< afny>
I'LL CUT YOU.
04:25
<~Noah>
Everyone dies
04:25
< Dukayn>
heh
04:26
< Dukayn>
It's been so long since I read A Clash of Kings I can't actually remember the final chapters.
04:26
< Dukayn>
Basically anything after Blackwater.
04:26
< afny>
I was talking with a friend about it and I had just forgotten that [redacted] dies
04:26
< afny>
and I was like hm, a lot of shit happens in those books.
04:26
< Soren>
they move goddamn fast.
04:26
< Dukayn>
is that the [redacted] that I think it is?
04:26
< Soren>
It's really nice.
04:27
< Dukayn>
Soren - it slows down
04:27
< afny>
Uh I think it happens in book 3 so
04:27
< afny>
I don't know
04:27
< Soren>
I'm sure it does, but for now, doing okay
04:27
< Dukayn>
Well I know who dies in S3 which is a major spoiler
04:27
< afny>
Some people complain that book 4 is way slower
04:27
< Dukayn>
I was thinking you were referring the S1 one
04:27
< Dukayn>
Books 4 and 5 are slower
04:27
< afny>
because book 4 is weird, it takes place at the same time as book 3, but with different characters
04:27
< Dukayn>
nono
04:27
< Dukayn>
4 and 6
04:27
< Dukayn>
er 5
04:27
< afny>
?
04:28
< Dukayn>
AFFC and ADWD are the same time
04:28
< Dukayn>
different locales
04:28
< afny>
no what
04:28
<~Noah>
Wasn't it great when ___ died and _____ _____ the ____, but then _____ went all ____ and killed ____ except ____?
04:28
< afny>
adwd is all new
04:28
< Dukayn>
nope
04:28
< Dukayn>
AFFC and ADWD were split
04:28
< Dukayn>
ADWD becomes new about 75% of the way through
04:28
< Dukayn>
Think about it: no Tyrion, no Jon, no Dany in AFFC.
04:29
<~Noah>
Sounds boring
04:29
< afny>
yeah, but I thought that's because they were in storm of swords
04:29
< Dukayn>
no because everyone in ASOS
04:29
< afny>
you might be right, I read all of the books straight through so I really don't remember the divisions properly
04:29
< Dukayn>
ah
04:29
< Dukayn>
I've been reading the series since 98 so
04:29
< Dukayn>
;)
04:29
< afny>
I got into it right when adwd was coming out
04:29
< afny>
and I just punched through them
04:29
< Dukayn>
Cool cool
04:30
< Dukayn>
Oh man I love the guy who plays Lancel
04:30
< Dukayn>
he's perfect
04:30
< afny>
I hope they keep him in for the later bits with Lancel
04:30
< Dukayn>
well I doubt they'd ditch him
04:31
< afny>
I just mean I hope they keep those scenes in, it isn't like they're vitally important
04:31
< Dukayn>
They become important in AFFC though
04:31
< Dukayn>
cos Cersei
04:31
< afny>
Yeah true
04:31
< afny>
man how many seasons away is that
04:31
< Dukayn>
oh ho ho, Sickbeard just queued up 2x10 :)
04:31
< afny>
at least three
04:31
< Dukayn>
yeah
04:32
< Dukayn>
They are splitting ASOS into 2 seasons
04:32
< Dukayn>
and I imagine the same with AFFC/ADWD but they'll merge them so you get all characters, split time
04:32
< Dukayn>
which is how he should have done it IMHO
04:33
< afny>
I read them so close together that it basically feels that way for me
04:33
< afny>
so it's hard to know the pain you must've felt.
04:33
< Dukayn>
fair enough
04:33
< afny>
THE PAIN.
04:33
< Dukayn>
it's different when you have to wait 7 years for the next book :P
04:33
< afny>
Yeah I'm sure
04:33
<~Noah>
Woah
04:33
<~Noah>
woah
04:33
<~Noah>
woah
04:33
< Dukayn>
woah?
04:33
<~Noah>
Woah.
04:34
< Dukayn>
Thanks for clarifying. You were a bit vague before.
04:34
<~Noah>
mostly Harmless, 1992
04:34
<~Noah>
And Another Thing, 2009
04:34
<~Noah>
You shut your face
04:34
< afny>
I don't really think that even qualifies
04:34
< Dukayn>
I don't know what they are
04:34
<~Noah>
Books, you twit
04:35
< afny>
But they're not by the same author
04:35
< Dukayn>
I figured that much
04:35
<~Noah>
afny: True, but it's part of the same story
04:35
< afny>
Did you read that thing about how GRRM told the HBO showrunners the basic plot of the books
04:35
< afny>
so if he dies, they can finish the show even if the books never get finished?
04:35
< Dukayn>
yep
04:35
< Dukayn>
and they know the truth of Jon's parentage too
04:36
<~Noah>
GASP
04:36
< afny>
I haven't read And Another Thing
04:36
< afny>
I can't bring myself to, I guess
04:36
<~Noah>
afny: Same
04:36
<~Noah>
I own it
04:36
<~Noah>
But haven't read it
04:36
< afny>
I regard The Salmon of Doubt as the last Hitchhikers manuscript
04:36
< Dukayn>
Oh those are Hitchhikers books? See that's all I needed to know. Some context.
04:37
< afny>
Mostly Harmless is the last official Hitchhikers book
04:37
<~Noah>
No, no context. Read my mind next time.
04:37
< afny>
And Another thing is a novel set in the same universe by a different author
04:38
< afny>
(and The Salmon of Doubt is a posthumous collection of short stories and unfinished writings by Douglas Adams)
04:38
< Dukayn>
Noah - are you my wife?
04:38
< Dukayn>
Cos that was eerily familiar
04:39
<~Noah>
Dukayn: That's everyone's wife.
04:39
< Dukayn>
bahahahaha so true
04:39 * Soren thinks.
04:39
< Soren>
Yeah pretty much.
04:42
< Tetrajak_>
On a completely unrelated note: I've finished all the MFZ Ijad chess pieces, except the pawn. Should I bother with the pawn?
04:43
< Soren>
yes
04:43
< afny>
USE TACHIKOMAS
04:43
< Tetrajak_>
no
04:43
< Soren>
make many, many pawns.
04:43
< Tetrajak_>
Soren: ok
04:43
< Tetrajak_>
oh, I mean in LDD. I don't have the bricks for all of these
04:43
< Tetrajak_>
however, I think I will have to make a chess board and populate it
04:44
< Tetrajak_>
anywho, back to making the pawns
04:44
< Tetrajak_>
afny: these chess pieces don't share much with any of the current MFZ designs out there ^^
04:44
< afny>
oh, they're actually
04:44
< afny>
chess piece shaped?
04:45
< Tetrajak_>
mmmm, somewhere between chess pieces and mech
04:45
< Tetrajak_>
+S
04:45
< Tetrajak_>
+s*
04:54
<~Noah>
Who's sleepy and went AFK?
04:54
< Dukayn>
in-laws are here
04:54
< Dukayn>
palace
04:54
< randolph>
<~Noah> Dukayn: That's everyone's wife.
04:54
< Dukayn>
oh psh ignore that :P
04:54
< randolph>
Not mine, but I'm blessed
04:55
< MittenNinja>
Same here.
04:55
< Tetrajak_>
I wasn't going to brag, but Randy beat me to it
04:55
< Dukayn>
mine's pretty good too actually
04:55
< MittenNinja>
She's really good at actually telling me what she wants
04:55
< Dukayn>
but it's fun to bitch about them :P
04:55
< randolph>
hehe
04:56
< Tetrajak_>
my wife is as blunt as a brick through a window, which makes communication really easy
04:56
< randolph>
hee
04:56
< MittenNinja>
Or at least she doesn't get pissed at me if she doesn't
04:56
< randolph>
Don't you run out of bricks, TJ?
04:56
< randolph>
Or do you have really short arguments?
04:56
< Tetrajak_>
really short arguments, because we actually sort out what we each want and come to a compromise
04:56
< Tetrajak_>
plus there's a stone mason next door, so infinite bricks
04:57
< randolph>
I guess there's a lot of room on your average brick, if you're printing.
04:57
< MittenNinja>
Yeah, I rarely have arguments. We usually just sit down and discuss.
04:57
< MittenNinja>
Were both very level headed
04:57
< randolph>
MOST BORING INTERNET DRAMASHARE EVAR
04:57
< Tetrajak_>
lololol
04:57
< MittenNinja>
Ha
04:59
< Dukayn>
lol
05:05
< MittenNinja>
I should accept sand green pieces as cash for commissions
05:06
< Soren>
'money, or sand green lego. You choice.'
05:06
< Soren>
your*
05:06
< Dukayn>
hahaha
05:08
< MittenNinja>
Four headlights gets you an iguana.
05:08
< Soren>
hah
05:08
< Dukayn>
lol
05:08
< randolph>
Hm.
05:08
< randolph>
That's a pretty good deal
05:09
< randolph>
I mean, $8, that's probably less than the parts
05:09
< Soren>
I'd set a minimum of six or eight.
05:09
< randolph>
Sand green headlights are our Stones of Jordan
05:09
< MittenNinja>
I'd do it for four if there were other stuff being commissioned too. That and the iguanas weren't sand green.
05:11
< MittenNinja>
I can get the parts (with dark bley trim) from pab for about $8.
05:13
< Dukayn>
an Iggy in black/orange/dark bley would be HOT
05:17
< MittenNinja>
That can definitely happen.
05:17
< Soren>
wouldn't even be that expensive or difficult, if you apply the color right
05:17
< Dukayn>
I can probably built one from my BL order + was Ced is sending me + what I have already
05:18
< Dukayn>
I certainly have plenty of orange cheese slopes :P
05:18
< MittenNinja>
Orange isn't that expensive
05:18
< randolph>
Iguana so rad.
05:18
< Soren>
it's true.
05:18
< afny>
I've been thinking about getting one or two of those sebulba sets to get some orange cheese
05:18
< Soren>
I have 2004 reflexes.
05:18
< MittenNinja>
Lol
05:18
< Soren>
they lack victoriousness.
05:19
< randolph>
Ooh, I bet they'd also look rad in black and yellow with black stripes on the tiles
05:19
< Soren>
mm
05:19
< randolph>
With lifter hands
05:19
< Soren>
VREEEEE CHANK
05:19
< Soren>
VREEEEE
05:19
< randolph>
Alright I have a ton of yellow, I'm going to see if I have the bits
05:19
< MittenNinja>
I think they'd look good in almost any color combination, save for purple/Brown/blue or something.
05:20
< randolph>
ooh all purple and... hm
05:20
< randolph>
gold chrome
05:20
< randolph>
Pimpguana
05:20
< Soren>
hee
05:20
< MittenNinja>
I still want dark purple/bley guanas and nagas
05:20
< randolph>
Friends sets?
05:20
< randolph>
Or is the dark purple only hogwarts stuff
05:20
< MittenNinja>
Not enough purple
05:21
< randolph>
There's that night bus set thing, lemme check
05:21
< MittenNinja>
There's way more pink

you can get dark purple cheese slopes and 1x2 tiles.
05:21
< Soren>
that should at least get you started
05:21
< MittenNinja>
Iirc its mostly 2x4 bricks and such.
05:21
< MittenNinja>
That's all I need for guanas
05:21
< randolph>
Oh man the cheese slopes are super rare in sets
05:22
< MittenNinja>
The nagas will be much more difficult
05:22
< randolph>
The best ratio I can find is 1 in 20 as an extra for "buzz's mini ship"

Sorry, make that 3 in 20
05:23
< randolph>
Oh, huh.
05:23
< Dukayn>
Those are hot
05:23
< randolph>
I want to make something iconic
05:23
< Soren>
I've got another Scrambler since then. Not low on purple yet.
05:23
< randolph>
I mean. Iconic that isn't Mr. Chibs.
05:23
< Dukayn>
lol
05:23
< Dukayn>
but Mr. Chibs is the best
05:23
< randolph>
Yes, but he's a lazy bum and won't haul my Gorgons.
05:24
< randolph>
I think if I put the Unity near him, he'd get squashed.
05:24
< Tetrajak_>
The chess piece designs are complete!
05:25
< randolph>
Woo pix
05:25
< randolph>
Wait, so, just to be clear, one side is Ijad, right?
05:26
< Tetrajak_>
in a bit. I'm just going to alter the bishop's legs. I came up with a leg configuration on the rook that I want to test compatibility with on the bishop
05:26
< Tetrajak_>
I've only made one side, and it's Ijad
05:26
< Tetrajak_>
turns out chess pieces convert into Ijad-like mechs better than SU ones
05:26
< randolph>
Wouldn't the game always go: "Alright, Pawn, go over there." "I DON'T ANSWER TO WOULD-BE CONQUERORS"
05:27
< afny>
I have this imagine in my head of a Conscript pawn

What a SHOCK
05:29
< afny>
it's hard to see but its got a TINY little dragon wing on its right bicep
05:29

I couldn't find one for the other arm, sadly.
05:30
< Tetrajak_>
man, MgN's look really awesome with the magnet clip for a head
05:30

Is this from like, Sephiroth's pet dragon familiar?
05:30

(the one wing)
05:30

Nope. Woulda had two, but I could only fight rights.

I'd lend you one of mine, but I can't pass it through the computer :/

I bet I have one somewhere, I'll find it eventually
05:32
< afny>
they're from minifig helmets right?
05:32
< afny>
they're from very early in my childhood so they've appropriately sifted to the bottom of the bin
05:32

yup

ok, the experiment with the bishop's legs turned out to be unsuccessful. So, on to creating some pics!

Heh. TJ: the TetraJack is getting some renewed attention... some of it somewhat confusing
05:52
< MittenNinja>
I really dig the top rail on that gun
05:53

yeah, that piece is vastly underrated
05:54
< randolph>
The bar with hinge?
05:54
< Tetrajak_>
randolph: eh, it's an in-joke already XD
05:55
< randolph>
I meant the new member who wants me to "share more to him" o_o
05:56
< randolph>
I'm confused if something isn't translating correctly, or if he doesn't get that that's what the forum is for... we throw our stuff on there
05:57
< Tetrajak_>
it looks like it wasn't translated correctly
05:58
< randolph>
Oh, so have you bricked up a company of those sweet walking tanks yet?
05:58
< randolph>
(or even planning to?)
06:02
< randolph>
re; Mobile Chess Zero: Rapid Check, might be cool to come up with special rules. Even if it's as simple as "play on a grid, 1 unit movement each, each player gets one alternating activation, rounds don't reset, spots don't reset. Each "piece" type has a preset build."
06:04

("Mobile Check Zero: En Passant?")
06:05

You should have been here for my ludicrous horror-movie german.
06:11

Two things.
06:11

now that accent is an atrocity.
06:11
< Ceddo>
1.) I had to sleep, good sir. It's 7:11am and I am NOT at home.
06:11
< randolph>
So good
06:11
< Ceddo>
I just clocked in at work.
06:11
< Ceddo>
2.) Did you just call me "German"?
06:12
< randolph>
Not that I can tell?
06:12
< Dukayn>
he was referring to his efforts to put on an accent of your country's persuasion
06:12
< Ceddo>
It's a bit hard to figure out from context if context is missing.
06:12

my efforts to commit a truly ridiculous accent which makes me laugh too hard to pull it off for more than four words.

Let me be clear.

If it's software repackaging he's probably in App Virtualization, which has very little to do with VDI, and our VDIness is massively variant anyway.

06:41

Game of Thrones thing
06:41
< randolph>
ah
06:41
< Dukayn>
they have no word for "Thank You".
06:42
< randolph>
heh
06:42
< Dukayn>
I assume they probably don't have "sorry" either
06:42
< Dukayn>
Cos, well, Dothraki
06:42
< randolph>
"And this is how we say goodbye in Germany" *smack*
06:42
< randolph>
</indy>
06:42
< Dukayn>
OK either Ced's counter argument was literally "counter-argument" or he's taking a long-ass time typing it
06:42
< randolph>
I think he's compiling a list of words we left out of the Ark^WEnglish language
06:44
< Ceddo>
log -> notes, tree trunk, speed measuring device, slab of wood, block, round piece of wood, numerical report, door frame stabilisation brace, fault notebook, mining notebook, ramming notebook, logarithm ...
06:44
< Ceddo>
That's retarded.
06:44
< Ceddo>
All of those are singular words in German.
06:44
< randolph>
I was close
06:44
< randolph>
No, see, that's efficient
06:44
< randolph>
This way, it's pre-compression, it puts the processing load on the listener.
06:45
< Ceddo>
Do you know the difference between distinct and distinct-distinct?
06:45
< Ceddo>
Because we have up a word for that.
06:45
< Ceddo>
-up
06:45
< Dukayn>
I freely acknowledge English is the stupidest language on the planet.
06:45
< Ceddo>
Well, you know SOME German.
06:45
< randolph>
I do!
06:45
< Ceddo>
"eindeutig" and "eineindeutig".
06:45
< Dukayn>
Doesn't change that you got it wrong ;P
06:45
< randolph>
:x
06:46
< Ceddo>
log is neither "eindeutig", nor "eineindeutig".
06:46
< Dukayn>
no, it's... log
06:46
< Ceddo>
"protokollieren" is "eineindeutig".
06:46
< Ceddo>
:D
06:46
< randolph>
English isn't the stupidest language. That'd be Esperanto.
06:46
< Dukayn>
I'm so glad I stopped studying languages in 1999
06:46
< Ceddo>
Dukey, "eindeutig" means "singular meaning", as an adjective.
06:46
< randolph>
What English is, is promiscuous
06:47
< Ceddo>
And "eineindeutig" means "singular singular meaning".
06:47
<@McMartin>
English is all the languages.
06:47
< Ceddo>
Bilaterally unique, you could say.
06:47
< Dukayn>
and wtf is a "singular singular meaning"?
06:47
<@McMartin>
If we find a language that does something we can't, we mug it and takes its stuff and then we can do it too
06:47
< randolph>
It has the essence.
06:47
< Ceddo>
If a word in one direction can only have one meaning, it's "eindeutig".
06:47
< randolph>
So it's like the Borg.
06:47
< randolph>
Engborg.
06:47
< randolph>
Borglish.
06:47
< Ceddo>
If the same is true the other way, it's "eineindeutig".
06:48

I didn't know words had directions :/

Are we going for injective vs. bijective here or surjective vs. bijective?

There are boustrophedonal languages, too.
06:48
<@McMartin>
I don't think there are any *any more*
06:48
<@McMartin>
But left to right and right to left on alternating lines
06:48
< Dukayn>
Not what I meant
06:48
< Tetrajak_>
And I'm back
06:48
< Dukayn>
And not what Ced means, I think
06:49
< Tetrajak_>
man, that took longer than expected

So there's no need to reset your HBLANK, you just go like plowing a field.

The closest I can actually pull out of this, not being a jackass is, "There are concepts with more than word to describe them, and there are words that denote more than one concept".
06:50
<@McMartin>
To which I say, well, yeah.
06:50
< randolph>
Between languages MCM
06:50
<@McMartin>
Er, more than *one* word to describe them
06:50
<@McMartin>
Oh.
06:50
< randolph>
he's complaining that "log" is overloaded
06:50
<@McMartin>
Well then, Even More Yeah.

See; Eskimo Snow
06:51
<@McMartin>
Or, you know, English snow, when you bring in pack vs. powder vs slush vs etc
06:51
< randolph>
Asian languages: Rice
06:51
< randolph>
no, see
06:51
< randolph>
"pack" doesn't mean snow in English
06:51
< randolph>
Pack is a type of snow in English
06:52
< randolph>
Just like "reddish-brown" is not a word in English
06:52
< Dukayn>
neither is Snooki but that didn't stop her mum

MCM: I'm trying to convey the difference between "can be rendered intelligible in English" and "has a specific word"
06:53
<@McMartin>
That's a concept map, though
06:53
<@McMartin>
There's nothing *stopping* you from putting the meaning-shadings into adjectives or modifiers.
06:53
<@McMartin>
English tends to pick different nouns, but that's because we have *so many*
06:53
<@McMartin>
So it can kind of pick up shades so that the one we mugged from Latin sounds cold, and the one French mugged *us* with sounds high-class, etc.
06:53
<@McMartin>
Also, I'm lagging out, so I have no idea how much of this will get through.
06:53
< Dukayn>
I think I just "got' what Ced is saying
06:53
< randolph>
MCM: You're back ish
06:54
< randolph>
The distinction is still there, though.
06:54
< randolph>
Promoting a concept map to its own word is a language snob's threshold
06:55
< randolph>
So, I mean, "uncooked rice" all you want, but it's not "mi"

<@McMartin> Also, I'm lagging out, so I have no idea how much of this will get through.
06:59 * McMartin was mid-rant

I said: The distinction is still there, though. Promoting a concept map to its own word is a language snob's threshold. So, I mean, "uncooked rice" all you want, but it's not "mi"
07:00
<@McMartin>
Sure
07:00
<@McMartin>
I'd also add that you'd need to put context in
07:00
< randolph>
I think it's the difference between "can be constructed from other functions" and defining its own function
07:00
<@McMartin>
The words for talking about the bits of grain are going to be very different in a botanical context than in a baking one.
07:01
< randolph>
You know, I don't think that's true
07:01
<@McMartin>
Hm.
07:01
<@McMartin>
So, I'm not a good enough baker to know offhand
07:01
<@McMartin>
But I'd expect there to be a zillion subconcept words under "dough"
07:01
< randolph>
Right, but "rice"
07:01
< randolph>
Not "grain of rice"
07:02
< Ceddo>
Honestly, as a baker, you appreciate grain in two forms.
07:02
< Ceddo>
Decoration and flower.
07:02
< Ceddo>
*flour
07:02
< afny>
Even rice flour is just flour
07:02
< Ceddo>
False friends. D:
07:02
< randolph>
heh
07:02
< Ceddo>
Flour's not just flour.
07:02
< Ceddo>
I firmly disagree.
07:02
< afny>
Well I don't mean you would just call it "flour"
07:02
< randolph>
One of my favorite lines in Stranger than Fiction was "I got you flowers"
07:02
< randolph>
er
07:02
< randolph>
"I got you flours"
07:03
< randolph>
(He's holding a box of assorted baking flours"
07:03
<@McMartin>
Yeah, OK, I can disprove "flour's just flour" by walking down an aisle at the market, really
07:03
< randolph>
)
07:03
< afny>
but there's not a special word for rice flour
07:03
< Ceddo>
Rice flour does nicely.
07:03
< afny>
I have no idea what we're talking about by the way
07:03
< afny>
I just looked over here.
07:03
< Ceddo>
Flour.
07:03
< randolph>
WORDS
07:03

I dunno either.
07:03

I like WHOLE WHEAT.

07:03

Oh shit I'm going to go have some bread right now.
07:03

I like rye.
07:03

Deadly killing words, like SOURDOUGH

In the US you drink canoes.
07:04
< Ceddo>
Considerable amounts.
07:05
< Ceddo>
In the US, I can't even fucking drink water because you bleach EVEN THAT.
07:05
<@McMartin>
randolph: In the US you drink hops sir.
07:05
< randolph>
No no, canoes, because of that terrible joke.
07:05
< Ceddo>
Let alone your FLOUR. You culinary mass murderers.
07:05
<@McMartin>
What kind of madman drinks flour?
07:05
< Ceddo>
No, you bleach it.
07:05
<@McMartin>
You're shopping in the wrong places
07:05

I'll have you know, SIR, that I drink locally grown, pesticide-free, free-range, antibiotic free, INDIE water.
07:05
< Ceddo>
Admittedly.
07:06
<@McMartin>
We had a guy from South Africa visit last week, he got elk burgers on wheat.
07:06
< randolph>
It has never had a top 40.
07:06
< Ceddo>
My whole perception fo the US is Walmart.
07:06
< randolph>
gah
07:06
<@McMartin>
Yeah, that's not the US.
07:06
< Ceddo>
Totes is!
07:06
< randolph>
Walmart is where shoppers go to die
07:06
< Ceddo>
Leave me my illsuions.
07:06
<@McMartin>
Walmart just destroyed large chunks of the US *first*
07:06
< afny>
The US has plenty of good products
07:06
< afny>
but we ALSO have WalMart.
07:06
<@McMartin>
The thing about American beer is that we drink it all before it gets exported
07:06
< Dukayn>
It's brilliant, really
07:06
< randolph>
The US is like English - promiscuous
07:06
<@McMartin>
Also, we use way too much hops.
07:07
< Dukayn>
You create Walmart
07:07
< afny>
You can't use too many hops.
07:07
< Dukayn>
that way all the dregs coalesce in one place
07:07
< Dukayn>
I'm sure eventually there'll be a mass explosion in all Walmart stores.
07:07
< Dukayn>
The global perception of the US increases 300%
07:07
<@McMartin>
I like the idea that the US created Walmart the way Sunnydale created Hell
07:07
<@McMartin>
This also implies that somewhere near Walton's hometown is the dreaded Walmouth
07:08
< randolph>
You know, there was that stampede death at Walmart awhile ago
07:08
<@McMartin>
Every year
07:08
< randolph>
Deaths?
07:08
< randolph>
Every year?

Black Friday
07:08
<@McMartin>
It's like our version of football hooligans
07:08
< randolph>
Huh.
07:08
< Dukayn>
what a fantastic idea that is
07:08
< Dukayn>
double thumbs up on that one
07:09
<@McMartin>
Dukayn: Only since Amazon arrived, really
07:09
<@McMartin>
Otherwise they're a threat to *everyone*, not just each other
07:09
<@McMartin>
randolph: Yeah, it's distressingly common
07:09
< randolph>
You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.
07:09
< Dukayn>
um, not sure of the context of that one sorry MCM
07:09
< Dukayn>
you mean re Black Friday?
07:10
< Ceddo>
Randy: Rats.
07:10
<@McMartin>
Yah
07:10
< randolph>
I think he's saying it's only safe once we had Amazon
07:10
<@McMartin>
I'm not actually kidding about the hooliganism thing - I have no explanation for it beyond "this is being perceived as a context in which they can basically let their violent ids go nuts.
07:10
< Dukayn>
Oh, I didn't include <sarcasm> tags did I
07:10
< randolph>
Nah, we're riffing off of you
07:10
< Ceddo>
<@McMartin> The thing about American beer is that we drink it all before it gets exported <-- Thank god.
07:10
< Dukayn>
I think it's disgracefully irresponsible of the retail industry to allow it
07:10
< randolph>
MCM: I don't think it's perceived like that
07:10
< randolph>
I think it's actually triggering a break
07:11
<@McMartin>
Is that short for "psychotic break" or is this a term of art I don't fully know?
07:11
< Dukayn>
That's what I assumed
07:11
< randolph>
I'm being imprecise because I can't remember my vocabulary
07:11
< Dukayn>
heh
07:11
< Dukayn>
psychotic break, yes
07:11
< Dukayn>
that perfectly describes Black Friday shoppers
07:11
< Dukayn>
OMFG I MUST BUY ALL THE THINGS

Ceddo: Dropping pretense for a moment, the actual stereotypical American beer should be Sierra Nevada IPA, not Budweiser.

about 15 years now

I guess you finally found a beer you like
07:12
<@McMartin>
I'm not.
07:12
< randolph>
ah
07:12
< randolph>
'96, so yeah, near 15
07:13
<@McMartin>
I do, however, occasionally have to entertain foreigners, and that means getting them proper beer lists.
07:13
< randolph>
er near 16
07:13
<@McMartin>
Also, brewpubs tend to have pretty good food.
07:13
< randolph>
I HAVE BEEN ARGUING WITH YOU FOR HALF MY LIFE
07:13
< randolph>
(hyperbole)
07:13
< Dukayn>
sorry, I'm not sure where I weighed in on the beer convo :P
07:13
<@McMartin>
I've noticed visitors gravitate towards the darker ones, but AFAICT those are never exported even beyond county limits
07:13
< afny>
the problem with American beer isn't that we don't have any
07:13
< afny>
it's that we don't have any in cans
07:13
<@McMartin>
randolph: Only barely hyperbole
07:14
< randolph>
Well the arguing part.
07:14
< randolph>
Sometimes we merely discuss in stern tones.
07:14
< afny>
I mean you can't go and get a six pack of decent beer for less than 8 bucks
07:14
< randolph>
Or shoot each others' mans
07:14
< afny>
at least not around here
07:14
<@McMartin>
Fair enough

Oh man, now I wonder how Jason Cohen fared in his philosophical perspective.

Kevin
07:16
< Ceddo>
Bud isn't beer.
07:16
<@McMartin>
Or maybe that was just me
07:16
< Ceddo>
It's beer-flavored water.
07:16
< randolph>
I was trying to reform him
07:16
< Ceddo>
And the flavor is "poop".
07:16
<@McMartin>
Ceddo: On this we agree
07:16
<@McMartin>
This also means that when people talk about American Beer I tend to think of the stuff the brewpubs have.
07:17
<@McMartin>
Which is, um
07:17
<@McMartin>
Not usually what people mean
07:17
< Ceddo>
Nah.
07:17
< Ceddo>
They mean Coors Light.
07:17
< afny>
But it's a misconception
07:17
< Ceddo>
As in: More poop water.
07:17
< afny>
I mean surely you have shitty, really cheap beer in Germany
07:17 * McMartin is, however, reminded.
07:17
< randolph>
Maybe they have a word for that, that isn't "beer"
07:17
< Ceddo>
Yeah, we just don't advertise it.
07:17
<@McMartin>
Yeast is a loving and mysterious God
07:17
<@McMartin>
It receives our offerings of food and water
07:17
< Ceddo>
randolph: Piss.
07:17
< afny>
Yeah, I guess the difference is just advertising
07:17
<@McMartin>
And it rewards us with alcohol and bread
07:18
< randolph>
It turns blood into wine!
07:18
< afny>
anyone who actually enjoys the taste of beer here buys get beer, and it's available
07:18
< Ceddo>
afny: Shitty beer doesn't do well over here.
07:18
< Ceddo>
Coors and Bud does.
07:18
< Ceddo>
I don't get it. :D
07:18
< randolph>
Because it's AMERICAN?
07:18
<@McMartin>
Wait, it does well *over there*?
07:18
< MittenNinja>
Ceddo, that's shitty beer
07:18
< afny>
Yeah, those are the standard "shitty beer" here
07:19
< afny>
everyone hates them
07:19

Also Corona
07:19

Eh corona is ok
07:19

Hey buddy
07:19

you want a lime in that
07:19
< randolph>
Hehe
07:19

MCM: Nah, I meant ... those beers do well in the US.
07:19
< Ceddo>
And I don't get why.
07:19
< MittenNinja>
Give.me tecate over corona any day
07:19
< afny>
Oh
07:19
< randolph>
Oh, well, Ced... it's like Walmart
07:19
< afny>
it's because they're marketed to A) rednecks
07:19
< randolph>
There's no accounting for taste
07:19
< randolph>
Also, cheap
07:19
< afny>
and B) college kids who don't have any taste and just want to buy case upon case and drink forever
07:20
< Tetrajak_>
I'm off, peeps, I'll see you all later (I'm sure)
07:20
< Ceddo>
Over here, you have several beers, locally, regionally, stately and countrywide.
07:20
< afny>
that's supposed to be a B.
07:20
< randolph>
nn TJ
07:20
< Dukayn>
We don't have much in the way of imported beer here
07:20
< MittenNinja>
That's because people over here don't care about what it tastes like. The media tells them to drink it and they do.
07:20

Night TJ

We import only few beers. Most from the Czech republic.

For whatever reason, people visiting from Australia have consistently been pro-Michelob.

Of course, they *also* said Los Angeles had the most polite drivers they had ever seen.

hahahaha

In unrelated news, I'm never driving anywhere in Australia.

I SO want to drive there.

Rome makes Los Angeles drivers look like Minbari

You should see Minnesotans

Dukayn: I CHALLENGE THEE ASWELL, THEN.
07:23
< MittenNinja>
And the other person is like
07:23

I mean that in the way that like, people don't think America has a concept of good beer.
07:23
< afny>
What do bogans drink?
07:23
< MittenNinja>
No I insist you go
07:23
<@McMartin>
Yeah, I think this is more "Californians are the monster under the bed" stuff.
07:23
<@McMartin>
I mean, I grew up in San Diego, we were all fighter pilots
07:23
< randolph>
San Francisco has worse drivers than LA
07:23
<@McMartin>
That *can* be "impolite", but it can also be, well
07:23

I am, in all actuality, a tank driving Nazi.
07:23

EFFICIENCY
07:24

Tanks rarely stop. Unless they want to.
07:24
< randolph>
My old theory was that LA had better drivers because everyone was *packing heat*
07:24
<@McMartin>
SF's roads were designed by Nyarlathotep
07:24
< randolph>
No, even freeway
07:24
<@McMartin>
Oh, Bay Area
07:24
< Dukayn>
afny: for the record, Australian beers are in general quite good. What we don't like, we export to the US.
07:24
< randolph>
The only time it was even close is in the rain
07:24
<@McMartin>
Yeah
07:24

They aren't good, and they aren't super agressive.
07:24

The aboriginees?

Petrol
07:25

Seattle was worse than the Bay Area
07:25
<@McMartin>
Since there the drivers seemed to be aggressive *and* bad
07:25

Metho
07:25

I'm impressed you know what a bogan is

Ceddo: So, rule of thumb: English is like Dutch, but you halve all the vowels

I also know what chavs are

DF DF Y x is Big Gun. G makes it a Fast Big Gun, B a Tough Big Gun.
07:49
< Ceddobear>
DF Y Y x is a Captain. G is Fast, B is Tough, again.
07:50
< randolph>
What's DF DF Y Y
07:50
< Ceddobear>
A Y Y x is Arty. Fast/Tough
07:50
< Ceddobear>
Smart Big Gun? :D

Captain Compensation?
07:50
< Ceddobear>
Heh.
07:50
< Ceddobear>
Inferiority Complex Captain.
07:51
< Ceddobear>
Anyway, I like to make Fast/Tough a distinction.
07:51
< randolph>
nod
07:51
< Ceddobear>
So A/DF Y Y x would be USF. Fast USF is G, Tough USF is B.

I can see that a more modular approach with obvious prefixes/suffixes will have more widespread traction
07:52
< Ceddobear>
Exactly.
07:52
< MittenNinja>
I agree and support this movement
07:52
< Ceddobear>
You only need to learn a few names and you can attach the obvious prefix/suffix.
07:52
< randolph>
I only lament the loss of punny names~
07:52
< Ceddobear>
It actually was bred in play with Danni.
07:53
< Ceddobear>
We were playing and realized that 500 names are a hindrance.
07:53
< randolph>
They are - but some people memorize Pokemon too~
07:53
< Ceddobear>
It's way more efficient to say "I put Big Guns there".

I like unit names that stick because they're short and funny.

"Thud" or "Rocketboy"
07:55
< randolph>
The ling/soc geek in me likes "nicknames" that are emergent ^ like that
07:55
< randolph>
But I do think modular will get more traction if the community takes off
07:55
< Soren>
descriptive and stupid, but also funny and memorable.
07:55
< randolph>
It'll likely be a bit of both
07:55

I didn't find a builds catalog last time I checked, was too lazy to do it
07:56
< afny>
what are you trying to name
07:56
< afny>
just combinations of systems?
07:56
< randolph>
But you could totally have: <build in systems> : <modular name> : AKA, <nicknames>
07:56
< randolph>
yes afny
07:58
< afny>
Personally I don't see the point in naming "builds"
07:59
< afny>
I guess it might sort of be useful when discussing tactics, but it just seems overcomplicated
07:59
< afny>
it's not like you need a whole character sheet to indicate what systems a frame has
07:59
< afny>
and each frame already has a name, or several

< randolph>
A few reasons: 1) It's evocative, it lends immersion, 2) proper mapping means you can discuss mappings with real-world military tactics and strategy - if you read the history of the rules development, the mechanics were capturing the interplay between roles in real conflicts, 3) compression
08:01
< afny>
It doesn't really seem like it compresses things if you can describe a build with a few numbers
08:01
< randolph>
Mnemonic compression
08:01
< randolph>
Almost everyone uses "red first" but after that, I haven't seen much consensus of the ordering
08:01
< randolph>
So 2111 could mean a lot of things
08:01
< afny>
I don't think the order really matters
08:02
< afny>
you just put the letters in
08:02
< randolph>
that's not "just numbers" anymore
08:02
< afny>
and also, I don't think it adds immersion at all
08:02
< afny>
I mean, in-world, you wouldn't refer to your frame by its "build"
08:02
< randolph>
You totally would
08:02 McMartin [mcmartin@Nightstar-107eb580.pltn13.sbcglobal.net] has quit [[NS] Quit: Permalagged.]
08:02
< afny>
not in the same way
08:02
< randolph>
"Make sure the artillery comes to support us"
08:02
< afny>
you would discuss its loadout
08:02
< afny>
and its role
08:02
< randolph>
Not "Make sure those fat snakes and hi-legs with artillery pieces come to support us"
08:03
< afny>
those aren't builds, or the hypothetical build names you're discussing
08:03
< afny>
those are names of guns and names of frames
08:03
< afny>
a hi-leg is a hi-leg no matter what it has equipped
08:03
< afny>
artillery is artillery
08:03
< afny>
but a "smasher" 2rD +d8 2B, or whatever
08:04
< afny>
isn't universal term that would be used in world to describe any medium range heavy mech
08:04
< randolph>
"I want the 5th in fighting shape by tomorrow, make sure they have... uh... well, two guys with artillery, and some jet packs, and extra shielding. One guy with artillery and a pistol..."
08:04
< afny>
it would literally be done like that
08:04
< afny>
you would request a loadout piece by piece
08:04
< afny>
with an inventory for munitions, for comms
08:04
< afny>
soldiers might have written orders, or it might be more loose
08:05
< randolph>
I dunno, man, for WT, each loadout is a special model designation
08:05
< randolph>
Gimme a WT-014A or e or eCV
08:05
< randolph>
It's a preset
08:05
< afny>
but that's not "in world", that's for a specific company with specific in-house regulations.
08:05
< randolph>
If it's efficient, other people will do it

< afny>
we don't call every cellphone with a touchscreen and 4G an iPhone, do we
08:06

Granted, not every organization can just fab the complete thing
08:06

Like the FC is going to be using whatever the hell they have, and jury-rig
08:06
< afny>
Same for some Ijad tribes, and some UMFL groups I'd bet
08:06
< randolph>
So they won't say "make that atlas meet x12 spec"
08:06
< randolph>
It'll be "rip off the claws and weld in the flak cannon"
08:06
< randolph>
or w/e
08:06

Hey, I agreed with your point.
08:07

But stuff like USF... I don't want to type out any of the whole thing all the damned time
08:08
< Ceddobear>
"Ambercroft, I want Big Guns on the left flank, ASAP! Giabene, get your Arty over to hill #212, and shell those Grunts by the river!"
08:08

I don't even know what USF is

Universal Spotted Fire: Artillery/Direct Fire Split System, two Yellows, and (originally) 1 movement

Universal Spotted Fire. Or so. :D
08:08
< afny>
I'm much more willing to accept terms like Grunts, big guns, and arty as "in world"
08:08
< randolph>
It's not just a description of its loadout, it's also its company philosophy
08:08
< afny>
than acronyms

Grunt: DF Y x. It's an underbidding Soldier.
08:09
< randolph>
Hm. If I had to nickname it up in-world, it'd be an Eye Tyrant or Beholder :p
08:09
< randolph>
Sees everything, shoots everything
08:09
< randolph>
Cockblocks you
08:09
< afny>
my problem with the system is that Grunt could mean any sort of loadout
08:09
< afny>
and to the uninitiated, it would just be simpler to list the dice
08:09
< afny>
listing the dice has inherent information
08:10
< afny>
"grunt", if it has a specific meaning, needs some sort of index or table to tell you what it means.

I mean I understand that you guys like it, and I'm not telling you not to

< Ceddobear>
It's the most basic of all 'frame loadouts.
08:17
< Ceddobear>
It's the common foot soldier.
08:17
< afny>
but things get a little more murky when you're using descriptive words like "sniper" to describe a frame with a split weapons system
08:17
< afny>
when PLENTY of loadouts could easily be called a "sniper"
08:17
< Ceddobear>
Nah, I wouldn't do that anymore.
08:17
< Ceddobear>
It's ambiguous.
08:18

it's all ambiguous, and arbitrarily defined

But that's not to say that S, J and V couldn't come out and say "here are some standard loadouts and the names assigned to them"

why would they assign names to them

HOLY SHIT

Hey Soren
08:45
< afny>
in this version of the conscript: http://nobsjustabs.files.wordpress.com/2011/11/conscript-breakdown-01.jpg
08:45
< Soren>
yes?
08:45
< afny>
In the black assembly, the two studs that the arm taps connect to
08:46
< afny>
those are two lampholders wedged in the backpack, right?
08:46
< afny>
or is it one lampholder that comes up from the back of the first lampholder
08:46
< afny>
with two black 1x1 plates?
08:46
< Soren>
two lampholders.
08:46
< afny>
okay, that's what I thought
08:47
< afny>
so here's the really stupid question
08:47
< afny>
how does the back assembly meet the part with the slope?
08:47
< afny>
at first I thought it must just attack at the top with a jumper, but looking at this, it's obviously not the case
08:47
< afny>
http://nobsjustabs.files.wordpress.com/2009/05/3316322005_a188040f86.jpg
08:48
< Soren>
no, it's a jumper.
08:48
< Ceddobear>
Trilly is ... le sigh.
08:48
< Ceddobear>
Why would he even shoot NG-A?
08:48
< Ceddobear>
Why not SH-B with Def 1?
08:48
< Ceddobear>
His 5 ATK totally fails at NG-A's 5 DEF.
08:49
< Ceddobear>
He doesn't spot anything.
08:49
< Ceddobear>
This is all kinds of horrible.
08:49
< Dukayn>
Yeah
08:49
< Dukayn>
He also needs to move to get in range
08:50
< Dukayn>
Not sure a max of 4 will make it
08:50
< Dukayn>
'gale Alpha moved 5 and he was already just outside DF at the start of play
08:51
< Dukayn>
OH LOOK A SPINFUSOR: http://www.dukayn.net/MFZ/Spinfusor.png
08:51
< Dukayn>

09:00
< Dukayn>
+order
09:00
< afny>
alright well
09:00
< afny>
it's obvious that I no longer have a brain
09:00
< afny>
...where exactly is the jumper
09:01
< Dukayn>
afny: There's an LDraw for the Conscript isn't there?
09:01
< afny>
I...don't know.

But that would be TOO EASY.
09:01
< afny>
TOO EASY.
09:01
< afny>
To check there.
09:02
< afny>
Instead of feeling like one stupid person, I now get to feel like two.
09:02
< afny>
I COVET THIS.
09:02
< Dukayn>
LOL
09:02
< afny>
also these are totally new
09:03
< Dukayn>
Yeah, Schoon didn't have them
09:03
< Dukayn>
I sent him like 12 LDraws :P
09:09
< Ceddobear>
I liked my gatling Conscripts.
09:09
< Ceddobear>
UNTIL I CRUSHED THEM.
09:09
< Ceddobear>
Because they looked like toys next to my other 'frames.
09:09
< Dukayn>
yeah
09:10
< Dukayn>
So what do you think of the gun Ced? afny ?
09:10
< Ceddobear>
The original? Cool.
09:10
< Ceddobear>
*smirk*
09:10
< Dukayn>
lol
09:11
< Dukayn>
so... you hate it :P
09:11
< Ceddobear>
I kind of wanna see what I could cook up.
09:11
< Dukayn>
Go for it
09:11
< Ceddobear>
Yeah, it looks dorky.
09:11
< Dukayn>
I was just having a crack at it
09:11
< Ceddobear>
LDD still down?
09:11
< Dukayn>
Yeah
09:11
< Ceddobear>
Mothertrucker.
09:11
< Ceddobear>
Fix your shit. Lego.
09:11
< Dukayn>
I've actually put in a firewall block so I don't have to worry about it
09:13
< Dukayn>
well let's collaborate
09:13
< Dukayn>
first up, does ANY part work for you?
09:13
< afny>
what is the disk you used for the spinfusor?
09:14
< afny>
it's pretty cool, although a bit vertical
09:14
< Dukayn>
2x2 inverted dish
09:14
< afny>
oh, the texture just made it look totally flat
09:15
< Ceddobear>
Mhmm.
09:15
< Ceddobear>
I'd do the back entirely different.
09:15
< Ceddobear>
Start with a 1x2 upside down.
09:15
< Ceddobear>
Attach a Lampholder, facing forward.
09:16
< Ceddobear>
Put a 1x1 tile clip on that, so you can attach stuff aligned with the 1x2.
09:16
< Ceddobear>
Clip a pistol to it.
09:16
< Soren>
hee, LDD via IRC.
09:16
< Soren>
the clumsiest.
09:16
< Dukayn>
yep
09:16
< Soren>
it's the internet version of the build-in-the-bag challenge.
09:16
< Ceddobear>
Put two lampholders left and right of the lampholder thingeys.
09:17
< Soren>
except that he's using you like a condom.
09:17
< Ceddobear>
put two 1x2 tiles on the new lampholders, hiding the pistol.
09:17
< Ceddobear>
Put a jumper on each side of the double lampholder contraption.
09:18
< Ceddobear>
But a 1x2 tile on the bottom, add a 1x2 plate facing foward.
09:18
< Ceddobear>
Put a 1x4 plate with the middle studs missing on the top Jumper.
09:18
< Ceddobear>
Put a 2x2 dish underneath the 1x4.
09:19
< Ceddobear>
Put a 1x4 plate on the bottom 1x2 plate.
09:19
< Ceddobear>
Put a 1x2 on the backstud of the 1x4 /w 2 studs missing.
09:19
< Ceddobear>
Put two cheese wedges on there, form a triangle.
09:20
< Ceddobear>
Put a 1x2 plate on the bottom 1x4 plate, leaving the front stud free.
09:20
< Ceddobear>
That should worl.
09:20
< Ceddobear>
*work
09:20
< Dukayn>
ok cool
09:20
< Ceddobear>
:D
09:20
< Dukayn>
so um.... back at the start
09:20
< Dukayn>
:P
09:20
< Ceddobear>
CAN YOU ENVISION IT?!
09:21
< Dukayn>
CeddobearAttach a Lampholder, facing forward. Put a 1x1 tile clip on that, so you can attach stuff aligned with the 1x2.
09:21
< Ceddobear>
Yes.
09:21
< Dukayn>
that I don't get
09:21
< Ceddobear>
:D
09:21
< Dukayn>
I think I do
09:21
< Ceddobear>
Okay, 1x2 plate.
09:21
< Ceddobear>
Upside down.
09:21
< Ceddobear>
PICK A SIDE.
09:21
< Ceddobear>
Put a lamp holder there.
09:21
< Ceddobear>
THIS IS NOW FORWARD.
09:21
< Dukayn>
LOL
09:22
< Dukayn>
don't caps me, boyo
09:22
< Ceddobear>
Caps is for emphasis.
09:22
< Dukayn>
nah I think I got that. The clip goes on the stud
09:22
< afny>
oh god
09:22
< Ceddobear>
Imagine me yelling excitedly.
09:22
< afny>
yep
09:22
< afny>
i'm an idiot.
09:22
< Dukayn>
then the pistol in the clip aligned with the 1x2 yes?
09:22
< Ceddobear>
Yupp.
09:22
< Ceddobear>
That's your weapon body and grip.
09:22
< Dukayn>
then the 2 lampholders, how do they face?
09:22
< Dukayn>
down?
09:23
< Ceddobear>
They go sideways, forming a 1x2 upwards and downwards, facing to YOUR NEWLY DEFINED FORWARD.
09:23
< Dukayn>
yep got that
09:23
< Ceddobear>
Okay.
09:24
< Ceddobear>
Slap a 1x3 tile on that.
09:24
< Dukayn>
Ceddobearput two 1x2 tiles on the new lampholders, hiding the pistol.
09:24
< Dukayn>
that didn't make sense
09:24
< Ceddobear>
So it forms a body.
09:24
< Ceddobear>
Nah.
09:24
< Ceddobear>
Make it 1x3's.
09:24
< Ceddobear>
Should make it a solid body.
09:24
< Ceddobear>
But it won't hide the pistol eh?
09:25
< Dukayn>
hang on
09:25
< Dukayn>
http://www.dukayn.net/MFZ/wut.png
09:25
< Ceddobear>
Come on, Dukey. Play hide the pistol with ,e.
09:25
< Ceddobear>
lol
09:25
< Ceddobear>
Wrong pistol. :D
09:25
< Dukayn>
does it matter?
09:25
< Ceddobear>
Take the non-poopy one!
09:25
< Ceddobear>
FOR LOOKS IT DOES.
09:25
< Dukayn>
YOU'RE GOING TO HIDE IT
09:25
< Ceddobear>
:D
09:26
< Ceddobear>
Not all of it. :(
09:26
< Dukayn>
it'll do for now
09:26
< Dukayn>
are the lampholders right?
09:28
< Ceddobear>
Yes.
09:28
< Ceddobear>
Okay.
09:28
< Dukayn>
cool OK I have it
09:28
< Ceddobear>
Now put a 1x3 tile over the whole shebang.
09:28
< Dukayn>
you go find me a part id for your perfect pistol
09:28
< Ceddobear>
YOu can take whatever, really. :D
09:28
< Ceddobear>
Mozzles work.
09:29
< Ceddobear>
*Nozzles.
09:29
< Ceddobear>
I might need sleep.
09:29
< Dukayn>
lol
09:29
< Dukayn>
where are those plates with the missing holes?

Plates, below the 1x4's
09:30
< Ceddobear>
It's: STUD TILE TILE STUD.
09:30
< Dukayn>
OH THOISE
09:32
< Ceddobear>
Yeah.
09:33
< Ceddobear>
We are like primates.
09:33
< Ceddobear>
"THIS THING NO WORKEY! *bangs it at other parts* WHY?!"
09:33
< Dukayn>
lol
09:35
< Dukayn>
so uh this is what I took from your instruction :P
09:35
< Dukayn>
http://www.dukayn.net/MFZ/CedsSpinfusor.png
09:35
< Ceddobear>
I bet it looks horrible. :D
09:36
< Ceddobear>
Yupp.
09:36
< Ceddobear>
Pretty messed up.
09:36
< Ceddobear>
Okay, let's fix that.
09:36
< Dukayn>
I like what you did on the back
09:36
< Ceddobear>
Bottom jumper: 1x3. Put it in the middle.
09:37
< Ceddobear>
Then, put a 1x4 tile over that, so it extends over the pistol.
09:38
< Dukayn>
that it?
09:38
< Ceddobear>
Put a 1x4 ... 2 stud plate on the part of the 1x3 that extends over the jumper.
09:39
< Ceddobear>
Then ...
09:40
< Ceddobear>
Taje the 1x4 2 stuf plate off, put a 1x6 plate on there, so 4 extend over and 2 back.
09:40
< Ceddobear>
Put another 2x2 dish turned 180? opposite of the first dish.
09:40 Soren [Soren@Nightstar-efcfb64e.co.comcast.net] has joined #mf0
09:41
< Soren>
buh.
09:41
< Ceddobear>
Replace the top 1x2 with a 1x4 plate.
09:41
< Ceddobear>
do the cheese, 1x1 /w tile on top, cheese thing.
09:41
< Dukayn>
Where do you think this is connecting?
09:41
< Ceddobear>
At the back of the 1x4.
09:41
< Ceddobear>
What now? :D
09:42
< Ceddobear>
Fuck it.
09:42
< Ceddobear>
Lemme grab LDD.
09:42
< Dukayn>
lol
09:42
< Ceddobear>
Alright.
09:43
< Soren>
this whole conversation has been incredibly surreal.
09:46
< Ceddobear>
Oh, dude.
09:46
< Ceddobear>
DUKEY.
09:46
< Ceddobear>
I CRACKED IT.
09:51
< Ceddobear>
I cannot show you, though.
09:51
< Ceddobear>
Because my internet is being a total douchehammer right now.
09:53
< Dukayn>
lol
09:53
< Dukayn>
well don't describe it, you'll give Soren nightmares
09:53
< Soren>
haha
09:53

09:54
< Soren>
I'm building rivet guns, actually.
09:54
< Dukayn>
Oh yes
09:54
< Ceddobear>
At the bottom, clip a 1x1 tile in, at at angle, for the mag.
09:54
< Dukayn>
that's perfect
09:54
< Ceddobear>
I could say: "I know".
09:54
< Ceddobear>
But that would be conceited.
09:54
< afny>
I love that Ced
09:54
< Dukayn>
Yes
09:54
< afny>
much more horizontal
09:54
< Dukayn>
Yeah it's better
09:54
< Dukayn>
much better
09:54
< Ceddobear>
*bow*
09:54
< Dukayn>
I suck at designing weapons
09:55
< Ceddobear>
So do I!
09:55
< Ceddobear>
I just click until things happen.
09:55
< afny>
I dont think you need nearly as many cheese slopes or tiles
09:55
< Ceddobear>
WRONG.
09:55
< afny>
I mean yeah it makes it look more like the model
09:55
< afny>
which is nice
09:55
< afny>
but it would look good if it was just flat or near flat on top
09:55
< Ceddobear>
Which is what counts.
09:56
< Ceddobear>
But ... the shape?
09:56
< Ceddobear>
The flow?
09:56
< Ceddobear>
The cohesion?
09:56
< afny>
the PRICE TAG.
09:56
< Ceddobear>
THE WOW FACTOR.
09:56
< Ceddobear>
I'll go home today and build one.
09:56
< Ceddobear>
Just for shits and giggles.
10:01
< Dukayn>
nice
10:01
< Ceddobear>
Okay.
10:01
< Ceddobear>
So.
10:01
< Ceddobear>
I habe 30 minutes of nap time.
10:01
< Ceddobear>
*have
10:01
< Ceddobear>
And then, 2 hours left on the clock.
10:01
< Ceddobear>
:D
10:02
< Ceddobear>
Actually, no. Fuck lunch break.
10:02
< Ceddobear>
90 minutes.
10:03
< Dukayn>
Dude that gun is way too big for MFZ
10:03
< Dukayn>
well,
10:03
< Dukayn>
let's say it's too big for what it is supposed to represent
10:04
< Dukayn>
http://www.dukayn.net/MFZ/GadianSpinfusor.png
10:06
< Ceddobear>
Hahaha. :D
10:06
< Ceddobear>
I'll get home and build you a small one in less than 2h.
10:06
< Ceddobear>
THat okay for ya?
10:06
< Ceddobear>
I'll find a way to make it smaller.
10:07
< Ceddobear>
What is the Spinfuser anyway?
10:07
< Dukayn>
It's from Tribes
10:07
< Dukayn>
the disc is the projectile and explodes on impact
10:08
< afny>
at least in T2, it's a pretty "light" weapon
10:08
< afny>
in MFZ, it would probably be used by agile or aerial frames
10:09
< Dukayn>
well that was the Juggernaut version of it
10:09
< afny>
oh, the model? Is it from the new one?
10:09
< Dukayn>
in Tribes Ascend there are 3 different Spinfusors
10:09
< afny>
I haven't played it
10:09
< Dukayn>
light, regular and MDK
10:09
< afny>
one for each size?
10:09
< Dukayn>
that's the MDK
10:09
< afny>
ah
10:09
< Dukayn>
yeah
10:10
< afny>
Do you like TA?
10:10
< Dukayn>
Yeah it's fun
10:10
< Ceddobear>
Should've gone fast.
10:10
< Dukayn>
And shit, it's free
10:10
< Dukayn>
You lose nothing by trying it out :)
10:10
< Ceddobear>
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ObZU9LcH10
10:10
< Ceddobear>
There's a review for it.
10:10
< Dukayn>
Er
10:11
< Dukayn>
I'm not subjecting my ears to more BroTeam
10:11
< Ceddobear>
THERE IS.
10:11
< Ceddobear>
A FUCKING REVIEW.
10:11
< Ceddobear>
FOR IT.
10:11
< Ceddobear>
Now go watch it.
10:11
< Dukayn>
Like the one for War, Inc. you linked yesterday?
10:11
< Dukayn>
Yeah, no. :P
10:11
< Dukayn>
Also I've played it, I don't need no review
10:11
< Ceddobear>
War Inc. was pretty loud. :D
10:12
< Ceddobear>
The Tribes one has more tears.
10:12
< Dukayn>
No shit
10:12
< Dukayn>
War, Inc. was terrible.
10:12
< Ceddobear>
The Game?
10:12
< Ceddobear>
The vid?
10:12
< Dukayn>
both
10:12
< Ceddobear>
True.
10:12
< Ceddobear>
See, I am easily entertained by the dumbest humor when done in large scale.
10:12
< Dukayn>
you know
10:12
< Dukayn>
the one you've done there Ced would make a good arty weapon
10:12
< Ceddobear>
I think repetition is fun.
10:13
< Ceddobear>
Like, a shouldermount?
10:13
< Dukayn>
yeah
10:13
< Ceddobear>
Mhmm, yah.
10:13
< Dukayn>
or on a turret
10:13
< Dukayn>
OH MAN THAT THING ON AN IJAF
10:13
< Dukayn>
IJAD*
10:14
< Ceddobear>
Didya just try that?
10:15
< Ceddobear>
Does it look sexy?
10:15
< Dukayn>
I haven't yet
10:15
< Ceddobear>
See, I would be tempted to make it larger for an Ijad.
10:15
< Ceddobear>
Make it a Big Gun.
10:15
< Dukayn>
It's pretty fkn large
10:15
< Ceddobear>
Meh. :D

10:43
< Dukayn>
Oh I figured you coming with the other name was a TCP stack reset to fix it
10:43
< afny>
looks pretty sweet too
10:44
< Dukayn>
needs integrating into the turret more
10:44
< Dukayn>
that was just attaching it the quickest way possible to see how it'd look
10:52
< Ced>
Mhmm.
10:52
< Ced>
I'll play around with that idea if you want me too. Or would care to see it?
10:53
< Dukayn>
Oh I don't personally care, I just think it'd look good on an Ijad base. It seems to carry certain aesthetic similarities
10:54
< Dukayn>
anyhoos I'm off for a bit, time for dessert and Game of Thrones finale.

11:22
< afny>
Yeah
11:22
< afny>
next time he's in here
11:22
< afny>
I'm going to ask him to share more to me.
11:22
< Ced>

11:22
< Ced>
Say, Kev.
11:23
< Ced>
Isn't it super early over at your's.
11:23

YEAAAH.
11:23

11:23
< afny>
6:23 AM
11:23
< Ced>
Still up?
11:23
< afny>
Yeah, but I woke up at 6 PM
11:23
< Ced>
Fair enough, then.
11:23
< Ced>
Go to bed soon?
11:23
< afny>
most likely
11:23
< Ced>
Gotcha.
11:24
< afny>
I've been sick on and off for like two weeks, and my sleep schedule is completely obliterated
11:24
< Ced>
Because it would be a bummer if you wouldn't be around tonight. :D
11:24
< afny>
When I'm not in school I tend to just shuffle through different time zones
11:25
< afny>
it's not particularly healthy, and I haven't really found one I like.
11:33
< afny>
urgh, all the MgN-311s use 2x2 jumpers in their shoulder armor
11:35
< Ced>
Yeah.
11:35
< Ced>
I got one gajillion in tan of those.
11:36
< afny>
I have ZERO. Didn't even know they were a thing until today.
11:36
< Ced>
Heh.
11:37
< Ced>
Replace them with 2x 1x2 jumpers.
11:37
< Ced>
Or 2x2 plates.
11:38
< afny>
Malcolm was using those: http://www.flickr.com/photos/jed_september/6115759941/in/photostream/
11:38
< afny>
but the glory of the 2x2 jumper can be seen here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/jed_september/6481454811/in/photostream/
11:38
< afny>
with OFFSET action
11:38
< afny>
It's alright though, I'm still makign 303s
11:39
< afny>
this one is going to be in blue, yellow, light gray, and black
11:39
< afny>
maybe a LIME GREEN accent
11:39
< afny>
it's nuts
11:39
< afny>
I don't even know what I'm building for
11:39
< Ced>
Ah, I see.
11:39
< afny>
I guess a straight up FC cell
11:39
< Ced>
Straight up seizure in a paint factory.
11:40
< afny>
listen
11:40
< afny>
this is COLOR WHEEL APPROVED, guy
11:40
< afny>
it'll be AWESOME
11:40
< afny>
if I had purple
11:40
< afny>
I'D ADD IT.
11:40
< afny>
my color palette is extremely limited. I pretty much only have primaries
11:40
< afny>
all but a handful of my bricklink parts were neutral colors
11:41
< afny>
and the ones that weren't were blue slopes, or red 2x2 slopes.
11:41
< Ced>
Colour wheel approved?
11:41
< Ced>
It's the entire fucking wheel.
11:41
< afny>
there's no red alright
11:41
< afny>
no green
11:41
< Ced>
Your wheel has holes.
11:41
< afny>
it's all about the BALANCE of the color
11:42
< afny>
fuck okay I have no idea how he does the heavy armor on the chest
11:42
< Ced>
It's as balanced as the Leaning Tower, though.
11:42
< Ced>
Lemme see.
11:42
< Ced>
OR NOT.
11:42
< Ced>

11:43
< afny>
then how do I
11:43
< afny>
let you SEE
11:44
< Ced>
2 options.
11:44
< Ced>
My internet unfucks itself.
11:44
< Ced>
Or: You wait 55 minutes.
11:44
< Ced>
Because, I am home, then.
11:44
< afny>
oh
11:44
< afny>
well
11:44
< afny>
I can probably figure it out by then
11:44
< afny>
but okay
11:45
< afny>
I don't know if I have enough clips to make a full 8 frames for this company
11:45
< afny>
might have to order more...hopefully bricklink will be unfucked soon
11:45
< Ced>
I buy clips by the hundreds.
11:45
< Ced>
They always run out.
11:45
< afny>
I did not buy NEARLY enough
11:45
< afny>
of a couple vital things
11:45
< afny>
like clips
11:45
< afny>
and I bought too much other weird shit
11:45
< Ced>
I ordered 130 clips for the 6 MINXes.
11:45
< Ced>
They need 124.
11:46
< Ced>
One hundred. Twenty-four.
11:46
< afny>
that's a fuckton
11:46
< afny>
the mgn is pretty clip heavy
11:46
< afny>
8 by default
11:46
< Ced>
That's not clip heavy.
11:46
< afny>
For MY BLOOD it is
11:46
< Ced>
Minxes use 20 per fucking 'frame.
11:47
< afny>
that's not counting any systems or greebling
11:47
< afny>
but yeah 20 is a lot
11:47
< afny>
shit
11:47
< Ced>
It's a bit scary.

that's a stupid color.

11:52

I DOUBLE DARE YOU.
11:52
< Ceddobear>
Make the wheel complete.
11:54
< afny>
I'll save it for a red MgN-311
11:54
< Ceddobear>
You failed me.
11:54
< afny>
I wanna do two in red, one in blue/yellow, two in grey and one in black
11:54
< afny>
don't think I have DA CLIPS though
11:54
< afny>
so the colors first
11:54
< afny>
BECAUSE THEY ARE FUN.
11:54
< Ceddobear>
How about you do that, then SMASH them into each other.
11:55
< Ceddobear>
And then, build them regardless of color.
11:55
< afny>
madness
11:55
< afny>
and I've seen many pictures like that on the flikr.
11:55
< Ceddobear>
Yes, yes I have, too.
11:55
< afny>
okay, I think I was wrong about the 1x3
11:55
< afny>
it's ore solid than that
11:55
< afny>
and more SENSICAL
11:55
< Ceddobear>
I don't have a single red 'Frame.
11:55
< afny>
+m
11:55
< Ceddobear>
Not even a red system.
11:55
< afny>
I have so many red bricks
11:56
< Ceddobear>
I'll stay away from red.
11:56
< afny>
I have three red frames currently but it's probably my most plentiful color
11:56
< Ceddobear>
I'll build ONE MORE company.
11:56
< Ceddobear>
And then that's it.
11:56
< afny>
CON PAN NY
11:56
< Ceddobear>
CONG. PANG. GNY.
11:56
< afny>
the arms must still be done with taps/clips
11:56
< afny>
but
11:56
< afny>
it's so WEIRD
11:56
< Ceddobear>
TAPS AND CLAWS.
11:56
< afny>
AND CLAWS.
11:56
< Ceddobear>
Good.
11:57
< Ceddobear>
I'll build some white/black/blue Ijads and then I am done with the topic.
11:57
< Ceddobear>
That's 48 'frames.
11:57
< afny>
oh god
11:57
< Ceddobear>
6 companies, 8 each.
11:57
< afny>
how many actual completed frames do you have right now
11:57
< Ceddobear>
Uhm ... *counts in head*
11:57
< Ceddobear>
27.
11:58
< Ceddobear>
3 full companies of 8 and 3 extras.
11:58
< Ceddobear>
No, wait, 4 extras. So 28.
11:58
< afny>
Oh, okay
11:58
< afny>
so you still have a lot
11:58
< Ceddobear>
Forgot the Canary. :D
11:58
< afny>
in the ether
11:58
< Ceddobear>
Well, yah. They are all ordered and most of it is shipped.
11:58
< Ceddobear>
8x Ijad, 6x Minxes.
11:59
< Ceddobear>
2 of the extras join the Minxes.
11:59
< Ceddobear>
-> 52.
11:59
< Ceddobear>
No, 42.
11:59
< Ceddobear>
And then, I'll build 8 more Ijads, but blue this time. Flat 50.
12:00
< Ceddobear>
Alright, time to pack it in and go home.
12:00
< Ceddobear>

12:57
< afny>
hi
12:57
< afny>
okay, so
12:58
< afny>
this is what i'm trying to figure out
12:58
< afny>
http://www.flickr.com/photos/jed_september/6481455775/in/photostream/
12:58
< afny>
how does he get the head that far forward
12:58
< afny>
but still level with the chest piece?
12:58
< afny>
this is how he usually does the heads: http://nobsjustabs.wordpress.com/instructions/mecha-frames/the-mgn-303ex/
12:59
< Ceddobear>
Mhmm.
12:59
< Ceddobear>
Could be a trick.
13:00
< Ceddobear>
That's a 1x1 2 stud, right?
13:00
< Ceddobear>
So it's hollow through the 2 studs.
13:00
< afny>
where
13:00
< Ceddobear>
And he has a 1x1 tile on top of the head.
13:00
< afny>
i'm not sure what a 1x1 2 stud is, but the head is a headlight with a minifig neck plate
13:00
< afny>
a clear tile, and another tile
13:01
< Ceddobear>
Nah, that's no headlight.
13:01
< afny>
i'm more concerned about the neck
13:01
< Ceddobear>
That is a 1x1 with 2 studs.
13:01
< Ceddobear>
Like a half Travis.
13:01
< afny>
it's a eheadlight
13:01
< Ceddobear>
Oh wait.
13:01
< Ceddobear>
Yeah, yeah.
13:01
< Ceddobear>
What's underneath?
13:01
< afny>
but I don't need to know about the head
13:01
< afny>
I need to know about the neck
13:01
< Ceddobear>
Like, below it?
13:01
< afny>
like, how is it that far forward
13:01
< afny>
see, the problem is
13:01
< afny>
when you build up the chest piece like that on the mgn
13:02
< Ceddobear>
The head is recessed 3p deep there.
13:02
< afny>
the normal way of attaching the head (a brick connected to the central travis, then two plates up from that, then a 1x2 plate to move forward, then the head
13:02
< afny>
) doesn't work
13:02
< afny>
it doesn't bring the head far enough forward
13:02
< Ceddobear>
Is there an open stud underneath?
13:03
< Ceddobear>
Like, under the head?
13:03
< afny>
not directly
13:03
< afny>
the corner of a travis is under the head
13:03
< Ceddobear>
Because it looks like he just used a rod.
13:03
< Ceddobear>
Or 3mm rigid hose.
13:03
< afny>
?
13:03
< afny>
to connect the head to what
13:03
< afny>
this is what's under there
13:03
< afny>
http://www.flickr.com/photos/jed_september/5693490016/in/pool-438009@N25/lightbo x/
13:04
< Ceddobear>
Oh fuck. :D
13:04
< Ceddobear>
Wait.
13:04
< afny>
I think I'm just using a chub head for this one
13:04
< afny>
but I want to figure it out eventually
13:04
< Ceddobear>
The head isn't moved forward.
13:04
< afny>
it's FLUSH, at least, to the armor
13:04
< afny>
the thing is, the armor may have 1p of indentation in the center
13:04
< afny>
and mine doesn't support that
13:04
< Ceddobear>
http://www.flickr.com/photos/jed_september/6512857935/in/photostream/
13:05
< Ceddobear>
See, it sits right there, between the arms.
13:05
< afny>
hm, no indentaton there
13:05
< afny>
yeah, it might not be the same on all of them
13:05
< afny>
but that doesn't look bad
13:05
< afny>
oh well
13:05
< Ceddobear>
Oh well indeed!
13:05
< afny>
I'll see how it looks on the next one
13:05
< afny>
this one gets CHUB HEAD
13:05
< afny>
need to figure out some systems
13:08
< Ceddobear>
I'm trying to make the spinfuser works as a ball turret. :D
13:09
< afny>
just keep the basic barrel design but move in some of those long slopes
13:09
< afny>
and round out the edges
13:11
< Ceddobear>
Well, I need to move the rather bulky mount INTO the ball AND cut a lot of length.
13:11
< Ceddobear>
But I am onto something.

Good morning errybody
14:40
< afny>
o/
14:41
< KarolineDianne>
I learned a new term today
14:42
< afny>
is it violently offensive?
14:42
< KarolineDianne>
No, just a little awkward.
14:43
< KarolineDianne>
Someone mentioned 'sweater puppies' and I was like... Wats dat? They refused to tell me because they 'couldn't believe I didn't know'. i look it up and get a bazillion pics of boobs and cleavage. I think I know what it means now.
14:44
< afny>
that is kind of a strange euphemism
14:45
< KarolineDianne>
I tend to be very ignorant of most slang terms and pop-culture references. Some people for some reason can't accept that and freak out when I've never heard of something... :/
14:46
< afny>
well I'd say somewhere close to 40% of random slang terms are probably boobs
14:46
< afny>
so you should just guess that from now and and even if you're wrong, you'll probably end up being right.
14:47
< KarolineDianne>
Ehh.. I dunno

14:51
< afny>
woo
14:51
< Dukayn>
why Platypus?
14:51
< afny>
Several reasons
14:51
< afny>
First off is I've just been thinking about platypuses all day
14:52
< Dukayn>
platypii
14:52
< afny>
second is it's sort of a weird amalgamation of parts, like a platypus. It's an MgN (mammal) but it's got a duck bill (chub head)
14:52
< afny>
it's VAGUELY venomous. You could describe it as venomous.
14:52
< afny>
And it's got global spotting power; a platypus has electrolocation.
14:53
< afny>
its*
14:53
< afny>
it's
14:53
< afny>
wow

It's amazing

15:22 * KarolineDianne hugs the Ceddobear!
15:23
< afny>
Does "Stehendpanzer" mean Standing Tank?
15:23
< afny>
or does it mean something stupid like
15:23
< afny>
RELIABLE TUB
15:23
< afny>
or On-time armor
15:23
< KarolineDianne>
I know that Wanzer was actually 'Wander Panzer' which meant 'walking tank'
15:24
< afny>
that's adorable
15:24
< afny>
wander panzer I mean
15:24
< Ceddobear>
Alright ...
15:24
< KarolineDianne>
What?
15:24
< afny>
wanzer just sounds like a dick
15:24
< KarolineDianne>
Wanzers are from the Front Mission series.
15:24
< Ceddobear>
Standing Tank: Stehender Panzer.
15:24
< afny>
STEHENDER
15:24
< afny>
okay
15:24
< Ceddobear>
Wander Panzer: Wandering Tank.
15:24
< afny>
the deeper meaning of this question is
15:24
< afny>
can I name my ssr
15:25
< afny>
Stehenderpanzerfaust
15:25
< Ceddobear>
No.
15:25
< KarolineDianne>
Standing tank fist
15:25
< KarolineDianne>
lawl
15:25
< afny>
WHY NOT
15:25
< afny>
WHY NOT
15:25
< Ceddobear>
Because it sounds like ass.
15:25
< afny>
Oh. Well. I did it anyway.
15:25
< Ceddobear>
Or like something Japanese people think we say.

Be sure to change to a nick you want to register
17:24
< CalaveraJoe>
Though you'll want to make sure however you're hopping into IRC that you setup authentication so Nickserv doesn't bitchslap you
17:25
< CalaveraJoe>
You can do it manually, but that's a chore
17:25
<~Noah>
You can link names afterwards

Nah, I'll use aliases. :D
17:25

Noah: Much rather register the right account first.
17:26

CalaveraJoe: Nickserv is more lenient here, so he doesn't have to identify immediately, but I think there are options to make it more aggressive, and you can do /nickserv ghost or /nickserv reclaim
17:26

At least I think it's called reclaim

I want to change the TV channel, but The Fresh Beat Band is on, and my son is distracted by it and is being good
19:03

Which is not his default state
19:04

Infact, it's more like error handling for him, if he's being good, something is wrong with him, and he's throwing an exception
19:05

Not to be confused with being very quiet, when is when he's just gotten into something he knows he shouldn't be in, but doesn't want to attract attention to himself

I reached out to a couple local gaming stores.
19:29
<@Ceddobear>
Two want me to come over and demo some games.
19:29
<@Ceddobear>
Any material or awesome stuff I should be bringing?
19:29
<~Noah>
BrickLink is slowly running out of travis bricks, Ced has bought all of Eurasia's already.
19:29
<@Ceddobear>
Taking pictures is a given.
19:29
<@Ceddobear>
It is true. I did do that.
19:29
< JoshuaACNewman>
I just got my studio set up in the most rudimentary way so I'm starting to work for reals on the game again. I've been writing a bunch but have a lot to do that was awkward without a mouse and second monitory.
19:29
< JoshuaACNewman>
Monitory. It's a room to hold your monitor.
19:30
<@Ceddobear>
Is it like a repository for monitors?
19:30
<@Ceddobear>
Also: Heya Mr. Lurkyface Roberts.
19:30
<@Ceddobear>
I did what you see there.
19:30

I was thinking more like a big cathedral, full of monitors watching -everyone-

Oh, oh, Soren!
19:31

You cranked out some pretty hardcore stuff, though.
19:32

Anyway, I'm working on the book and decals now. I just wanted to poke my head in and see what was going on in here. I'll be able to actually participate sometime in the next few months.
19:32
<@Ceddobear>
2x2 and 1x3 tiles in Dark Green came in today.
19:32
<~Noah>
Yea, Ced works at the Ministry of Tiny Robots in Berlin
19:32

also you got a ton of masonry bricks.
19:32

Joshua, you outsource decal printing right?
19:32
<@Ceddobear>
SHARE YOUR SECRETS WITH US.
19:33
<@Ceddobear>
Because, if I get my hands on a decent decal printer, I WILL start designing them.
19:33
<@Soren>
you guys know I've been working on decal sheet designs, right?
19:33
<@Ceddobear>
I need little Serpent Legion logos, for starters. And roman XIII, for the 13th Guard. Lt. Vale is not please how they are lacking ID.
19:33
< MittenNinja>
holy shit josh!
19:33
< MittenNinja>
whats up man?
19:34

Hey!

I'm the one who pulled up the Lego dimensions for that.
19:34
<@Ceddobear>
Soren: Well then. *stares*
19:34
<@Ceddobear>
Where's my Serpent Legion decals, 1x1 ?
19:34
< JoshuaACNewman>
I'll let you guys know how decal printing goes. Keep in mind, you'll have to print 1000 sheets at a time. If you don't mind translucency, though, you can just print inkjet or laser.
19:34
<@Soren>
I dunno, I'll have to discuss it with the man who wrote the fiction!
19:35
<@Ceddobear>
Bah, Greg is easy.
19:35
<@Ceddobear>
1000 sheets. Yeah.
19:35

Well, the idea is, that I have one Ijad faction, which is "The Assembly of the Most Understanding Council".
20:11
<@Ceddobear>
They are pro-Ijad extremist conservatives.
20:11
<@Ceddobear>
Their equivalent to the acolyte is the Custodian:

<@Ceddobear>
Sorry, 2nd link.
20:11
<@Ceddobear>
The Custodian is a Soldier loadout.
20:12
<@Ceddobear>
But he ties into the speed scheme of the Understanding Council.
20:12
<@Ceddobear>
For example, the Arty 'frame is d6Ra d6Ra Y Y G.
20:12
<@Ceddobear>
http://www.ced23ric.de/stuff/mf0/vij02_mediator3.png
20:12
<@Ceddobear>
The Mediator. The hing legs look wonky because it doesn't show the tires that are going to be over those ends.
20:13
<@Ceddobear>
But the purple one's are more ... lithe and elegant. Speed theme.
20:13
<@Ceddobear>
The "Big Gun", d6Rd d6Rd d8Rd Y G, is the Elder's Eye.
20:13
<@Ceddobear>
http://www.ced23ric.de/stuff/mf0/vij01_elderseye.png
20:14
<@Ceddobear>
Which find's it's equivalent in the Revelator.
20:14
<@Ceddobear>
http://www.ced23ric.de/stuff/mf0/vij11_revelator.png
20:14
<@Ceddobear>
Instead of G, he'll have B.
20:14
<@Ceddobear>
And the last 'frame the Understanding Council will field, is the Hierophant.

Headlight sideways, 1x1 tile on top, stud cape flap thingey on the side stud so the new stud faces forward, round plate on the stud as a face.
20:20

And then, add something cool as an antenne to the open bottom of the headlight brick.
20:20

well shit
21:04
<@Ceddobear>
I think I just gave LDD a seizure.
21:04
<@Ceddobear>
Asked for a building guide for those 8 'frames in one fell swoop.
21:04
<@Ceddobear>
It's calculating for over 5 minutes now. :D
21:04
<@Ceddobear>
Ah, there we go. 420 steps.
21:05
< MittenNinja>
jesus
21:06
<@Ceddobear>
It's the best way to get the partslist for an entire company.
21:06
<@Ceddobear>
It's just ... tedious. :D
21:06
<@Ceddobear>
When I am done, I take the HTML output, throw it into Excel, resize all images and then I can FINALLY work with the list. :D
21:07
<@Ceddobear>
The HTML page has so much code, weaker computers can't load the page.
21:10
<~Noah>
Could probably parse out the useful bits with python
21:24
<@Ceddobear>
Oh, HAI Thunderbird. Why don't you crash a little bit.
21:54
<@Ceddobear>
It's so quiet in here. :(
21:55
<~Noah>
It guess not only mages...

YEEEEEEEAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!
21:56
<~Noah>
Awesome lag~
22:01
<@Ceddobear>
Yeah, he is ...
22:01
<@Ceddobear>
... slow.
22:02
< MittenNinja>
he is just a bot
22:02
<~Noah>
You're just a bot
22:02
< MittenNinja>
shit, they found out
22:02 * MittenNinja looks around the room frantically
22:05 * Ceddobear charges the EMP.
22:06
<@Ceddobear>
Oh.
22:06 * MittenNinja jumps out the window
22:06
<@Ceddobear>
It's 3 to 5 in the US.
22:06
<@Ceddobear>
No wonder shit's going slow.
22:06
< MittenNinja>
3:06pm here
22:06
<~Noah>
WRONG
22:06
<~Noah>
It's five oh six here.
22:07

MOUNTAIN TIME BITCHES
22:07
<@Ceddobear>
People are wrapping up their workdays, drive home, are stuck in traffic and go groceries shopping.
22:07
<@Ceddobear>
I guess it'll be more lively in an hour or two.

22:11

Once JoshuaACNewman registers with nickserv, I can add him to the aop list
22:11

No one else is home so I dun give a fuk
22:11

It's goddamn hot
22:11

22:11

noah: aop?
22:11
<~Noah>
Auto-op
22:12
< MittenNinja>
ah
22:38
< MittenNinja>
Alright, so I'm starting to rework my companies for the demo games I'll be running at con. Any suggestions?
22:39
<@Ced23Ric>
Mittens: Sure.
22:39
<@Ced23Ric>
Give them tools to play with in doubles.
22:39
<@Ced23Ric>
2x Arty, 2x Spot, 2x DF, 2x HtH, for example.
22:39
<@Ced23Ric>
Or combine the Arty, so you only need 6.
22:40
<@Ced23Ric>
Then make a balanced company, 6x Soldiers.
22:41
<@Ced23Ric>
And a tool box, with one YYBB, one HHBG, one DFDFBG, one Soldier, one AAYY, one AYBG.
22:41
<@Ced23Ric>
That should give you a wide array of options.
22:42
< MittenNinja>
hrm
22:42
< MittenNinja>
have you tried that out in practice?
22:44
<@Ced23Ric>
Nope.
22:44
<@Ced23Ric>
Just a wild guess.
22:44
<@Ced23Ric>
I have tried out the companies you see in the battle reports.
22:44
<@Ced23Ric>
If you have equal companies, numbers will win.
22:44
<@Ced23Ric>
If not, tactics are more important.
22:45
<@Ced23Ric>
Specialists can take Generalists, if used to their advantage.
22:45
<@Ced23Ric>
But two Generalists will most likely part with the larger company being victorious.
23:02
<@Ced23Ric>
... now I feel like I have no life. 998 posts.
23:03
<@Soren>
It's okay. We all agree with you ;).
23:07
<@Ced23Ric>
Yeah.
23:07
<@Ced23Ric>
That's the worst part of it.
23:07
<@Soren>
thought it might be
23:07
<@Ced23Ric>
What are you up to? Entertain me. Now.
23:07
<@Soren>
writing.
23:08
<@Soren>
figuring out how bad I gotta freak out by making sure I do actually have all the parts I need for the last custom company
23:08
<@Soren>
So, the usual.
23:12
<@Ced23Ric>
I wish to partake in some of it.
23:12
<@Ced23Ric>
What's the last custom company anyway?
23:13
<@Ced23Ric>
... how was the faction split, actually?
23:13
<@Soren>
pretty UMFL heavy.
23:13
<@Soren>
one each of the others.
23:14
<@Ced23Ric>
One Ijad, one FC?
23:14
<@Soren>
last custom company is TEM, in blue.
23:14
<@Soren>
yeah
23:14
<@Ced23Ric>
And, what, four UMFL?
23:14
<@Ced23Ric>
People are so predictable. :D
23:14
<@Soren>
3.
23:14
<@Soren>
Well, the special editions are an even 3-ways split by design.
23:15
<@Ced23Ric>
Deep down, we want to be dominated by an overpowering, yet stable government..!
23:15
<@Ced23Ric>
2 of each?
23:15
<@Soren>
yeah
23:15
<@Ced23Ric>
Wait, what's the difference between custom and special?
23:15
<@Soren>
special editions, we set ahead of time.
23:15
<@Soren>
custom is, you ask me for whatever and I do my best to deliver.
23:15
<@Ced23Ric>
So, those were 6 companies already fleshed out.
23:15
<@Soren>
yeah.
23:16
<@Soren>
I bet you anything your Ijad and my Ijad pump up interest in that faction. And then i want to give the Free Colonies some love.
23:16
<@Ced23Ric>
And custom was ? la carte.
23:16
<@Soren>
yeah.

Well, I'll post the Council as soon as I get the parts.
23:16
<@Ced23Ric>
Majority is shipped.
23:16
<@Ced23Ric>
So, this weeks is looking good.
23:16
<@Soren>
excellent.
23:16
<@Soren>
indeed.
23:16
<@Soren>
Man. Masonry bricks.
23:17
<@Soren>
so pretty.
23:17
<@Ced23Ric>
And then, next month, there will be the Moonies.
23:17
<@Ced23Ric>
Cannot justify dropping another 150EUR right now. :D
23:17
<@Ced23Ric>
But I am somewhat sure, the Moonies will receive even more praise than the Councillants.
23:17
<@Ced23Ric>
Just a hutch.
23:18
<@Ced23Ric>
But people usually prefer beefy tanks.
23:18
<@Soren>
usually.
23:18
<@Ced23Ric>
And it's blue.
23:18
<@Ced23Ric>
World's most chosen fav colour. :D
23:21
< MittenNinja>
I need to build up some more FC stuff
23:21
< MittenNinja>
and hell
23:21
< MittenNinja>
i need to build some ijad too
23:21
<@Soren>
prepare to be out of clips all the time.
23:22
< MittenNinja>
not for my ijad
23:22
< MittenNinja>
they arent going to use more than a chub rreally
23:22
< MittenNinja>
I've just got some build issues to work out still
23:24
<@Soren>
fair enough
23:25
<@Soren>
I think Ijad might actually be the cheapest to build, just because you can do their base frame with, what, eight or nine parts, in incredible mass quantities.
23:26
< MittenNinja>
very true
23:26
< MittenNinja>
the least parts intensive for sure
23:27
<@Ced23Ric>
Your Ijads, yeah.
23:27
<@Ced23Ric>
Mine ... not so much.
23:27
<@Ced23Ric>
1100 for 8 purple, 1300 for 8 blue Ijad 'frames.
23:27
< MittenNinja>
so ceddo
23:27
<@Ced23Ric>
Bricks, that is.
23:27
<@Ced23Ric>
So Mittens!
23:28
< MittenNinja>
what do the "@" and "%" signs mean in front of everyone's nicks?
23:28
<@Ced23Ric>
@ = Operator
23:28
<@Ced23Ric>
Can kick, ban, set modes, etc.
23:28
< MittenNinja>
aha
23:28
< MittenNinja>
i'm new to this whole irc thing
23:28
<@Ced23Ric>
% = Half Operator. Can kick, set minor modes, etc.
23:28
< MittenNinja>
if you didnt notice already
23:28
<@Ced23Ric>
+ = Voiced. Can talk when channel is moderated.
23:28 mode/#mf0 [+m] by Ced23Ric
23:28
<@Ced23Ric>
Now people /wo + cannot talk.

23:29 mode/#mf0 [+v MittenNinja] by Ced23Ric
23:29
<@Ced23Ric>
Now you can talk again.
23:29
<+MittenNinja>
interesting
23:29
<@Ced23Ric>
It's a tool for mass audience, low speaker count.
23:29
<+MittenNinja>
right
23:29
<@Soren>
we really should auto-voice all the regulars.
23:29
<@Ced23Ric>
If you've ever seen channels with 1000++ users ..
23:29
<@Ced23Ric>
... you start to appreciate it.
23:29
<@Soren>
Just so if Chrons pops in we can shut down his rage.
23:29
<+MittenNinja>
lol
23:29
<@Ced23Ric>
Hrhr.
23:30
<@Ced23Ric>
Chrons is so funny.
23:30
<@Ced23Ric>
Anyway. Modes are set either with quick commands /op or mode commands /mode #channel + or - x Username
