afny: That sniper rifle isn't ridic enough.
00:00
<@Ced23Ric>
Needs a longer barrel.
00:00
<%afny>
it's just one A
00:00
<@Ced23Ric>
It's a fucking telephone pole
00:00
<%afny>
YOU'RE A TELEPHONE POLE
00:00
< Dukayn>
You're going to have issues with that bipod
00:00
<%afny>
how so
00:01
<@Ced23Ric>
He already has.
00:01
<@Mantisking>
MgN-3XXs and Hi-Legs, nice.
00:01
< Dukayn>
it's too wide. you're going to have issues finding a place to put it
00:01
<%afny>
I guess
00:01
<%afny>
he stands fine with the gun vertical
00:01
<@Ced23Ric>
Well, other than him calling the next PLANET, it's fine.
00:02
< Dukayn>
lol
00:02
< Dukayn>
I do wonder if it's a big long :P
00:02
<%afny>
it's too short if anything.
00:02
<@Ced23Ric>
Nah.
00:03
<@Ced23Ric>
He has 100% accuracy.
00:03
<@Ced23Ric>
Because it's so fucking long, by the time he has aimed that thing, it's right against the other 'frames chest.
00:03
< Dukayn>
btw, DAT ARTY HI-LEG
00:03
< Dukayn>
OH it's a HtH sniper rifle :P
00:03
<@Ced23Ric>
Exactly.
00:03
<%afny>
I'm tellin ya, on the field, if he's in cover
00:03
<%afny>
I'll just put the rifle vertical
00:04
<@Ced23Ric>
LOL
00:04

<@Ced23Ric>
Totally "cannon".
00:04

00:05
<@Ced23Ric>
McM: He'd whip someone with on that order.
00:05
< Dukayn>
LFOW's Mistarille Dawn has my current favourite sniper rifle
00:06
<@Ced23Ric>
Granted, it's so long, by the time the end hits, the other 'frame ran out of power, was overgrown by Ivy, found by the next alien race conquering the planet and had been turned into a monument of the prehistoric ages, but still.
00:06 Axhead [chatzilla@Nightstar-e5f87f2f.ed.shawcable.net] has joined #mf0
00:06
<%afny>
if he could hold something across his chest
00:06
<%afny>
maybe I'd be inclined to make a reasonably sized gun
00:07
<%afny>
but because he cannot
00:07
<%afny>
might as well make it a fucking monument.
00:07
< Dukayn>
hehe
00:07
< Dukayn>
it is that
00:07
< Axhead>
Hi guys
00:07
<%afny>
really though, don't see what the problem is
00:07
<@Ced23Ric>
Lemme show you something over a chest.
00:07
< Dukayn>
I only think the problem would come with the amount of footprint on the board the bipod takes
00:08
<%afny>
why does that matter
00:08
< Dukayn>
for fitting it physically on the board
00:08
<%afny>
the board is big dude
00:08
<%afny>
it's not candyland
00:08
< Dukayn>
is the board empty?
00:08
<%afny>
no, but as I said
00:08
< Dukayn>
or is there stuff littered all over it like terrain or other frames?
00:08
<%afny>
if the cover he's behind is too high, just prop it up
00:08
<%afny>
when the cover is low enough, put it down
00:08
<@Ced23Ric>
The thing IS cover.
00:09
<%afny>
it's sticks!
00:09
<@Ced23Ric>
COVERSTICKS.
00:09
< Dukayn>
POOH STICKS
00:09
<@Ced23Ric>

00:10
< Dukayn>
it's a game they play in Winnie the Pooh
00:10
< Axhead>
That is a big ass gun
00:11
<%afny>
that it is
00:11
< Axhead>
So whats the problem with it?
00:11
<@Ced23Ric>
afny: My 'frame aims better than your frame: http://www.ced23ric.de/stuff/mf0/vmx06_gadian2_b5.png
00:11
<%afny>
Cedric thinks it's TOO big
00:11
<%afny>
obviously my frame is SO ADVANCED
00:11
<%afny>
that it doesn't need its eyes to aim

00:15
< Axhead>
You both seem worked up over whose frame iscooler
00:15
<@Ced23Ric>
Nah, you misunderstand.
00:15
< Axhead>
But they all seem cool but in different ways
00:15
<@Ced23Ric>
I absolutely adore afny's creations.
00:16
<@Ced23Ric>
I just grind him, because he likes that.
00:16

So long as you are both consenting adults I have no problem with that

yeah, I thought that too Dukayn
00:19
<%afny>
but they aren't terrifying
00:19

they look like herbivores

<%afny>
is there an accepted alphanumeric designation for a conscript
00:38
<%afny>
or is it just sort of a placeholder design for a converted labor frame
00:38
<@Soren>
I've been labeling them ST-02.
00:38
<@Soren>
but more or less.
00:39
<%afny>
I'll TAKE IT
00:39
<@Soren>
I would imagine that the Free Colonies have developed a cheap, effective upgrade pack for the LF-2, and so there's a standard designation.
00:40
<@Soren>
you just bolt this thing in here and plug this thing in here and add a gun.
00:41

yay new wallpaper rendering

yay

your renders are uniformly classy.

why thank you sir
00:42
<+Dukayn>
did you see the Conscript + Peach Truck one?
00:42
<@Soren>
I think so.
00:44
<%afny>
So Soren
00:44
<%afny>
how do YOU feel
00:44
<%afny>
about my enormous sniper rifle dick
00:44
<%afny>
too big?
00:44
<%afny>
if you didn't see: http://www.flickr.com/photos/kyanosmoros/7157954201/
00:45
<@McMartin>
You should name it the Compensator
00:45
<%afny>
haha yes
00:45
<+Dukayn>
lol
00:45
<+Dukayn>
There was a sniper rifle in a game I played that WAS called the Compensator
00:45
<+Dukayn>
Now, what was it?
00:45
<@Soren>
that is quite substantial.
00:45
<%afny>
I could just outdo them and call it the OVERcompensator
00:45
<+Dukayn>
Ah, TF2
00:46
<@Soren>
I think the bipod makes me laugh too hard to be intimidated.
00:46
<+Dukayn>
http://gamebanana.com/tf2/skins/screens/109163?screen=0
00:46
<%afny>
if you could see his other hand in the shot
00:46
<%afny>
you'd notice that it is flailing wildly off to the side
00:46
<%afny>
he's not very intimidating.
00:46
<+Dukayn>
is he fapping?
00:46
<%afny>
OFF TO THE SIDE
00:46
<%afny>
hey maybe I should put the bipod closer to the frame
00:47
<%afny>
THAT WOULD MAKE MORE SENSE.
00:47
<@Soren>
hee
00:47
<+Dukayn>
Bipods are generally at the end of the forestock, not the barrel. At least on long-barrel guns.
00:47
<%afny>
listen
00:47
<%afny>
these are anime rules.
00:47
<+Dukayn>
Then you don't need a bipod ;)
00:48
<%afny>
bipods are COOL
00:48
<+Dukayn>
Cos in anime he could fire that one handed
00:48
<+Dukayn>
hmm, kids are being quiet.
00:48
<+Dukayn>
brb, preventing disaster
00:48
<@Soren>
well, in anime a chick with double Ds and no upper body muscle could fire that, period, full stop.
00:49
<%afny>
hm
00:50
<+Dukayn>
haha true
00:50
<%afny>
i'm going to make a short tripod
00:50
<%afny>
I just realized the conscript is really good at going prone
00:50
<@Soren>
yeah, it's great for that.
00:50
<+Dukayn>
so's the Nightingale :)
00:50
<+Dukayn>
That was kinda deliberate
00:52
<@Soren>
https://www.dropbox.com/s/sa9yzqn1e0lqdpq/Chub%20Sniper.jpg I tend to prefer really simple solutions like this. There's barely any penis-compensatory action going on here at all.
00:52
<+Dukayn>

00:53
<+Dukayn>
and looks nice with my sniper frame: http://www.dukayn.net/MFZ/Nightingale_Aiming.png
00:54
<@Soren>
yeah, although it starts to fall apart into just a bunch of tubes and stuff.
00:54
<%afny>
I dont have any more tile clips
00:54
<%afny>
or my solution would've been a lot simpler
00:54
<@Soren>
you could just slide the bipod back and shorten the feet. That would probably do it.
00:56 * Noah makes terrain from a combination of 1x1 plates and 1x2 plates, topping them with 1x1 tiles
00:57
<@Soren>
SO BAD.
00:57
<~Noah>
So is damage still just 6 pieces per hit to terrain?
00:57
<@Soren>
yeah, last I checked.
00:58
<~Noah>
In a way that makes it so that the brick density of the terrain determines how sturdy it is, but makes our larger 2xX blocks less valuable as terain
00:59
<%afny>
anyone know a trick for getting lightsaber blades out of lampholders
00:59
<@Soren>
yes, prayer.
00:59
<%afny>
fuuuuck
01:00
<@Soren>
more seriously, try to push it all the way through.
01:00
<%afny>
I just based it on the table
01:00
<%afny>
that worked
01:00
<%afny>
but it was scary
01:00
<@Soren>
or use the 1x2 plate with bar's end to poke it out
01:00
<+Dukayn>
pliers
01:00
<+Dukayn>
:)
01:01
<~Noah>
If we defined a brick as being a 1x1x1, and said we did 6 bricks of damage, then that would be a 1x6, or a 2x3
01:01
<@Soren>
actually, yeah, if you wrap the working face in tape to prevent crushing and scratching
01:01
<@Soren>
eh, the way battlefield setup works is fair enough that I wouldn't worry about it.
01:01
<@Soren>
No need to make it fiddlier.
01:01
<~Noah>
That means all terrain has the same effective density, but then you have to deal with rounding
01:02
<~Noah>
Yea, it does make it fiddlier
01:02
<+Dukayn>
I can see the potential issue though
01:02
<+Dukayn>
someone makes terrain out of 2x4s
01:02
<@Soren>
I might bug J to include a little sidebar on exploity shit just so everybody knows about the stuff we've figured out so far.
01:02
<+Dukayn>
someone else makes it out of 1x1s
01:02
<+Dukayn>
the 1x1 is inherently harder to blow through
01:02
<~Noah>
Well, 1x1s is hard, so 1x1 with 1x2s
01:02
<+Dukayn>
Yeah but you know what I mean
01:02
<~Noah>
Right
01:02
<+Dukayn>
1x2s then :P
01:03
<@Soren>
my forcefield guy and brick-wall trick are pretty bad, but if people know, they can plan around and nullify them.
01:03
<+Dukayn>
or they use PLATES instead of bricks :P
01:03
<~Noah>
No, 1x1s with 1x2s is fine, that can push your brick density up
01:03
<~Noah>
As per my example above
01:03
<+Dukayn>
so 6 pieces of terrain = 2 bricks worth
01:03
<~Noah>
"/me makes terrain from a combination of 1x1 plates and 1x2 plates, topping them with 1x1 tiles"
01:03
<+Dukayn>
yeah that
01:03
<+Dukayn>
I didn't see that :P
01:03
<%afny>
hm
01:04
<%afny>
this is much better
01:04
<~Noah>
You blacked it out of your memory
01:04
<+Dukayn>
No, I was watching Cats
01:04
<@Ced23Ric>
Night, lads. Stay classy.
01:04
<~Noah>
See ya Ced
01:04
<@Soren>
I would just fix the issue by mandating 1x2 and 1x4 bricks for cover, mostly because it's cheap.
01:04
<+Dukayn>
Nights Ced
01:04
<@Soren>
night!
01:04
<+Dukayn>
Yeah I'd be tempted to say you can't use plates for terrain. It gets a bit silly.
01:05
<@Soren>
well, two plates stacked is a good brick.
01:05
<%afny>
night ced
01:05
<~Noah>
Soren: Perhaps, but that would have to go into the rulebook, and that means making multi-story terain could be difficult
01:05
<+Dukayn>
except a brick is 3p high?
01:05
<~Noah>
Right
01:05
<@Soren>
fine, a good simulation of a real, kiln-fired brick.
01:05
<+Dukayn>
ORIGHT
01:06
<@Soren>
you break three of those off each time your cover takes a hit.
01:06
<+Dukayn>
yeah, that'd work
01:06
<@Soren>
Now, I might add in an optional rule that says "you know, those are totally small enough that you should be able to throw them at the other guy."
01:06
<@Soren>
But that's for later.
01:06
<+Dukayn>
hehe
01:06
<~Noah>
Well, I suppose if someone really wants to make terain from 1x1, 1x2 plates and tiles, let them, and just put a side rule in the book that the other players get to punch them in the face for each piece removed due to damage
01:06
<@Soren>
heh, yeah
01:07
<+Dukayn>
didn't someone mention rules about using terrain as weapons? like cars etc? maybe in the fan rules forum.
01:07
<@Soren>
well, you can just say during battlefield setup that cover like that has to be fairly positioned.
01:07
<~Noah>
True
01:07
<~Noah>
Certainly makes it valuable cover
01:07
<+Dukayn>
or make it so that for each point of damage they remove 2 plates
01:07
<~Noah>
I suppose it's fine the way it is
01:08
<+Dukayn>
to simulate a brick
01:08
<@Soren>
it's really just an extreme version of the logical problems with a number of bricks per hit rule of cover.
01:08
<@Soren>
okay,t his tree has six or fewer pieces. I guess it's only cover once!
01:08
<@Soren>
etc.

'tis an issue, yes.

<+Dukayn>
and what do you do about those trees which are one coherent piece? You can't remove anything :P
01:09
<@Soren>
no, you just get rid of those all at once.
01:10
<+Dukayn>
soft cover?
01:10
<@Soren>
those are actually pretty brilliant. if you set up a forest of them, each one is cover once, but there are enough to last a while.

<~Noah>
Blah
01:10
<@Soren>
well, it's one piece. I know which piece I'd be removing.
01:12
<~Noah>
"When terrain takes damage:
01:12
<~Noah>
For each damage it takes, it loses 6
01:12
<~Noah>
pieces." So it's worded as pieces.
01:13
<~Noah>
And control chacters~
01:13
<@Soren>
yeah, so if the tree is the cover, it just blows up.
01:13
<@Soren>
maybe if you feel generous you say that you get to remove three trees.
01:14
<%afny>
so it's not the most elegant solution
01:14
<%afny>
it's just a stick
01:14

<%afny>
but it's much better
01:15
<@Soren>
yeah
01:16
<+Dukayn>
yep
01:16
<+Dukayn>
monopod is perfectly legit
01:16
<+Axhead>
When taking off 1 piece trees due to shooting I say big trees = 3 pieces and small trees = 2 pieces.
01:16
<%afny>
the new group shot came out really bad
01:17
<+Axhead>
Monopod could have built in gyro stabilizers
01:25

Hey Anfy, when you link your picks could you not link to lightbox? I can't see them on my phone if ya do.
01:26

okay

<%afny>
that's pretty shitty of yahoo
01:26
<+MittenNinja>
It could just be my phone too. I'm not sure
01:27

just remove the /lightbox/ :)

it works a lot better for machine guns, but yeah, not great one way or another.
01:34
<+Dukayn>
yeah but MGs aren't THAT long
01:34
<+Dukayn>
the ones that are bigger are tripod mounted, and that goes under the body of the gun not the barrel
01:34
<@Soren>
yeah, and accuracy is less important than YEEEEEAH CONE OF DEATH

no, more like 96 F
03:46

@gundam I love the site.
03:46

ferrelferret: I was saying that's the temp here
03:47

I do like Rugby, though.
03:47
< ferrelferret>
Go All Blacks!
03:47
< ferrelferret>
XD
03:48
<+Dukayn>
hehe
03:48
< ferrelferret>
but, I don't get many rugby games on the TV here though. :(
03:49
<+Dukayn>
yeah
03:49
< ferrelferret>
No sports package on my cable
03:49
<+Dukayn>
we have one channel which airs NFL games during the season
03:49
<+Dukayn>
so that's pretty good
03:49
< ferrelferret>
cool.
03:49
<+Dukayn>
I often download the games I want to see though, because my Dolphins aren't often broadcast on whatever channel our one feeds off.
03:51
< ferrelferret>
I thought all you other English just liked football (soccer) and not football (handegg). ;)
03:51
< ferrelferret>
oops, there should have been countries in there.
03:52
< Tetrajak>
I am not a sports fan at all, so you're welcome to the rugby, ferret XD
03:53
<+Dukayn>
Psh, we're not English.
03:53
< Tetrajak>
Well, unless you count sword fighting as a sport, and even then, I'm partaking rather than watching
03:53
< XGundam05>
Tetrajak, what exactly do you do? SCA, Fencing, Dag?
03:53
<+Dukayn>
And Aussie Rules Football is closer to handegg than soccer
03:53

Gundam: LARPing
03:53
< XGundam05>
ah
03:53
< ferrelferret>
I'm not really into watching sports. I like playing them from time to time.
03:54
< Tetrajak>
I'm not sure if "chasing bandits through the woods" counts as sport either
03:54
< XGundam05>
I'm a Dagorhir person myself (technically LARP, but no 'magic' and very hard hitting)
03:54
< Tetrajak>
I'm familiar with Dagohir
03:54
< XGundam05>
cool
03:54
< XGundam05>
I've been too busy to get to realm practice tho lately :(
03:54
< Tetrajak>
the LARP scene in NZ is relatively small compared to most countries. There are only about 160 regulars in our biggest city, and only 60 in the city that I live in
03:55
< ferrelferret>
I stated that I ment to put 'countries' in after English. I thought you might still have Her Majesty on your currency. ;)
03:55
< Tetrajak>
Although the scene is growing
03:55
< Tetrajak>
Haha, that we do
03:55
<+Dukayn>
Sweet, bricklink order just showed up
03:55
< ferrelferret>
no offence intended.
03:55
< XGundam05>
There's a guy trying to get a Nero? group going up around here
03:55
<+Dukayn>
yeah we still feature her on the cash
03:56
< Tetrajak>
Gundam: admittedly, I'm not a fan of the system-intensive LARPs that run in the US or the UK
03:57
< XGundam05>
Yeah, I like my foam fighting fast and brutal
03:57
< Tetrajak>
the LARP that occurs in NZ is much more focused on roleplay and collective storytelling, sometimes to the complete dismissal of any system of rules

03:59 * XGundam05 searches dag forums for canadian film he saw somewhere about larping
03:59
< Tetrajak>
Gundam: that's pretty cool. I haven't made any of the stuff I use in LARP, I'd rather pay money to other people to make it for me XD
04:00
< ferrelferret>
It strts with LARP'ing, but no it's not about it.

04:01
< XGundam05>
nice
04:02
< XGundam05>
I want to get some lamellar or (forgot name of roman chest-piece) next (leather)
04:02
< Tetrajak>
gundam: yes! I saw the trailer and have been meaning to see that film
04:03
< Tetrajak>
Gundam: you should check out a website called By The Sword
04:03
< Tetrajak>
they have some more historically accurate stuff
04:03
< XGundam05>
sounds familiar
04:03
< Tetrajak>
the place I get my LARP goods from is thevikingstore.co.uk
04:04
< XGundam05>
There's a guy in my dag group who is badass at working leather ('course he's got a dungeon in his basement and is into bdsm, so that makes sense >.>)
04:04
< XGundam05>
and, if you're not a douchebag, he'll make it for cost
04:04
< XGundam05>
his words
04:04
< Tetrajak>
that is awesome
04:04
< Tetrajak>
you're very lucky for that
04:05
< XGundam05>
yeah, I count my blessings there
04:05
< Tetrajak>
I have yet to find a leather worker who's willing to make some of the more interesting (and of course complicated) designs for armour that I'm keen on
04:06
< XGundam05>
he also used to do medieval reinactment professionally
04:06
< Tetrajak>
The stuff I have is from here; http://www.farmerownia.pl/eng_ver/nowosci.htm but they're no longer in business
04:06
< Tetrajak>
Gundam; ah, now that's cool.
04:07
< XGundam05>
and I remember looking at that place a while ago, but, as usual, no monies for stuff :P
04:08
< XGundam05>
I thought about making some steel lamellar, but dag safety rules for steel make it a little harder to make
04:08
< Tetrajak>
year, fair enough. It put a large hole in my wallet to buy the armour and get it imported
04:08
< Tetrajak>
man, I am so glad that there are LARPers in amongst the MFZ crowd
04:08
< XGundam05>
same here, it's hard to find us sometimes
04:11
< XGundam05>
and once I finally get back to practice, there's at least one guy who's into mecha hardcore and might be interested in MFZ

Ah. I did one larp a few years ago.
04:25
<+Dukayn>
I've never LARPed, but I use to do SCA.
04:25
< Tetrajak>
Ah, a scadian
04:25
< XGundam05>
ya'll pad your fighters, we pad our weapons Dukayn >.>
04:26
< Mantisking>
I wasn't impressed when someone complained I was "hitting too hard" with a boffer weapon.
04:26
< Tetrajak>
Mantisking: um, well you can be
04:26
< XGundam05>
The common complaint in my realm is "hit harder you pussy!"
04:26
< XGundam05>
and depends on the boffer
04:26
< XGundam05>
dag weapons are padded more than other larp weapons due to the hitting hard part
04:27
< Tetrajak>
Gundam: how many inches of foam is standard to a dag weapon?
04:27
< XGundam05>
nothing can fit through an eye socket
04:27
< XGundam05>
1.5 inches wide on the blade
04:27
< XGundam05>
is min
04:27
< XGundam05>
2.5 inches on the tip min
04:27
< XGundam05>
(as in 2.5 in deep)
04:28
< XGundam05>
(or accross, the widest part of the blade)
04:28
< Mantisking>
As far as I could tell, it was a standard boffer.
04:28
< Tetrajak>
Ah, fair do. Ours average around 1 inch on the hitting edge, and about 1.5 deep on the tip
04:28
< Tetrajak>
but we don't hit as hard as you do in dag
04:28
< XGundam05>
mine are a little heftier, but I use 1" sch 80 pvc as a core
04:29
< Tetrajak>
we use carbon fibre rods or fibreglass for our cores

I'm looking at getting into HEMA this year
04:30
< Tetrajak>
HEMA?
04:31
< XGundam05>
Historical European Martial Arts
04:31
< Tetrajak>
Ah, my sister did that for a while
04:31
< Tetrajak>
the only reason she left is because she can never stick with a single thing for very long, that's just who she is
04:32
< Tetrajak>
went on to do fencing, among other things
04:33
< XGundam05>
If they start using "florentine" to describe dual-wielding, beware tho
04:33
< Mantisking>
I've seen a couple HEMA demonstrations.
04:34
< Mantisking>
I'm not sure if it's the people, or if they're dumbing it down for the crowd, but it seems like they're too fixated on the weapons they use.
04:34
< Tetrajak>
"my sword is bigger than your sword" sounds familiar
04:35
< XGundam05>
which is why you use an axe :3
04:35
< Mantisking>
Nah, it's not that. They're missing obvious combat moves because they're fixating on the swords they're holding.
04:36
< XGundam05>
I take it no 'grapple-stab'?
04:37
< Mantisking>
More like missing the obvious knee to the groin.
04:37
< XGundam05>
ah, well, out of fairness to the fact that you shouldn't Actually be trying to kill the other person
04:38
< XGundam05>
and, half the time that equals knee-to-steel-codpiece
04:38
< XGundam05>
not fun for knee
04:38
< Mantisking>
{* shrug *}
04:38
< Mantisking>
If the knee is armored too...
04:39
< XGundam05>
makes it a minor distraction, tho in actual combat you'd probably take it if you could
04:39
< XGundam05>
just on the off-hand chance it does connect
04:39
<~Noah>
Meh larpers
04:40
< Mantisking>
Anyway. :)
04:40
<~Noah>
I'm find with tabletop roleplay, and authentic reenactment, but the foam sword and glitter bottle magic is too silly, even for me
04:40
< Mantisking>
Anyone make any good Lego buys lately?
04:40
<@randolph>
I'm wondering if it's worth getting the sopwith camel
04:40
<~Noah>
I wish
04:40
< Tetrajak>
Noah: fair do
04:40
<+Dukayn>
My bricklink order came in, if that counts :P
04:40
<~Noah>
Asshat in Townsend still buying up all the local legos.
04:41
< XGundam05>
Noah: dag is far from that, but back to lego I s'pose
04:41
< Tetrajak>
I'm still waiting on my bricklink order from over a week ago :(
04:41
< Mantisking>
I really need to sit down and make a BL order myself.
04:41
< XGundam05>
Question on bricklink, do you need a paypal account, or is it the sort of paypal you can just enter credit card info for w/o having an account?
04:42
<~Noah>
XGundam05: Depends on the store
04:42
<@Soren>
it depends on who you're buying from, yeah.
04:42
<~Noah>
Some have paypal webpay, or even amazon webpay
04:42
< XGundam05>
ah, I see
04:42
<@Soren>
you need an account, but you can just link a card to it.
04:43
< XGundam05>
I'm not very trusting of paypal (had bad experience years ago) and not very trusting of random ppl I dun know on the internets in general
04:43
<@Soren>
fair enough
04:43
<@Soren>
I've never gotten fucked by a Bricklink seller.
04:44
<@Soren>
It's just never happened.
04:44
<@Soren>
And I can aim you at some very good, very reputable ones if you like.
04:44
<~Noah>
I had one store send me the wrong bricks, but she fixed it...took forever
04:44
< XGundam05>
for the most part I wouldn't figure, but my distrust near borders on paranoia
04:44
<~Noah>
But I've only made 5 buys, so I'm not a good sample size
04:45
<@randolph>
I've made a bunch of buys, mostly with 3 stores, and the ones that screwed up posted the difference the next day
04:45
<@randolph>
I can also give those recommendations.
04:45
< Tetrajak>
I don't trust paypal, but I'm not using it to collect money, so I get the impression I'm safe (since most of the time Paypal only fucks over the money collectors)
04:45
<~Noah>
XGundam05: Just make the plunge, it's great
04:45
<@randolph>
Two of my stores give free pieces, just in case
04:46
< Tetrajak>
Well, let us all list the stores we buy from
04:46
<~Noah>
Yea, buyers tend to screw over sellers when it comes to paypal, but I wouldn't use paypal anyway for that
04:46
<+Axhead>
I have a local Bricklink guy who takes cash and does deliveries.
04:47
<+Axhead>
Its very dangerous
04:47
< XGundam05>
I appreciate any recommendations, 'cause I have a grand total of 2 taps in my collection -.-
04:47
<+Axhead>
Any more than two is excessive :P
04:47
<@Soren>
Paul Janssen, of The Missing Brick, is probably the best single seller I know of.
04:48
<@Soren>
He's the guy we're doing Garage kits with.
04:48
<+Axhead>
I just went with the stores that had the most variety and were the closest to minimize shipping.
04:48
<@Soren>
so he's almost certainly got the stuff you need.
04:48
<@Soren>
shipping is usually not a big deal unless you want something fedexed.
04:49
<+Axhead>
Mostly I just try to avoid cross border/ocean shipping.
04:50
<@Soren>
that's usually not so bad either. Deutsche Post will ship anywhere for four bucks.
04:50
< XGundam05>
Soren, he based in Ohio?
04:50
< XGundam05>
The Missing Brick guy
04:50
<@Soren>
yeah he is
04:50
< XGundam05>
cool beans, and thanks

04:51

And was my first buy
04:52
<+Axhead>
I mostly go with http://www.bricklink.com/store.asp?p=Bricklord these days,
04:52
< Tetrajak>
I use 1001 bricks myself
04:53
<+Axhead>
but now that I know german shipping is minimal I may get more adventurous.
04:53
< Tetrajak>
That and AFOL supply
04:53
<@Soren>
I can recommend 1001bricks, in France, then.
04:53
<~Noah>
Axhead: And if you ask him, you can mail to Cedric and he can mail to you
04:53
<@Soren>
Sylvain is just great.
04:53
<~Noah>
If you make several purchases in Germany
04:54
< Tetrajak>
Ah, Ced, he's so nice
04:54
< XGundam05>
Oddly enough, Lego PAB price for Travis bricks is being rather competitive w/ some of the ones listed ($0.35 ea)
04:54
<+Axhead>
Well I went about $100 over the lego budget a while ago, so I need to wait for the wife to forgive before I order again
04:55
<~Noah>
Well, lego doesn't really care about the third party market
04:55
< XGundam05>
is true
04:55
<~Noah>
It's more like the third party market is staying close to what lego charges for the good bricks
04:56
<~Noah>
Still, I can get travis's for under a quarter, just not in quantity
04:56
< XGundam05>
and therein lies the issue
04:56
<+Axhead>
I thought the issue was not admitting we have a problem...
04:57
<~Noah>
Oh, we have a problem
04:57
<@Soren>
it's perhaps more accurate to say that the market has normalized after about a decade of weirdness.
04:57
<~Noah>
And this is our support group
04:57
<~Noah>
But it's like AA going to a bar, so....
04:57
<+Axhead>
support ? enablement? you be the judge.
04:57
<@Soren>
IT depends.
04:58
<@Soren>
once you hit a certain critical mass of Lego, you end up making much smaller orders.
04:58
<+Axhead>
If we all lived in the same town we live in a compound and wear tinfoil hats :)
04:58
<@Soren>
just project-focused stuff and keeping up vaguely with the cool new bits

Oh, god. Oh, god.

THE WHOLE 6 BUCKS, DUKEY?

Don't get too crazy now.
06:15
<@Ced23Ric>
YOu might be able to build a 'frame and one infantry dude.
06:18
<+Dukayn>
YEAH ALL SIX
06:18
<~Noah>
5 of which was shipping
06:18
<+Dukayn>
nono
06:18
<~Noah>
So, really, he can build a leg

<@Ced23Ric>
Holy shit, the Kangaroos dropping nothing?
06:18
<+Dukayn>
5 shipping was extra
06:18
<+Dukayn>
it was 11 bucks, 5 of which was shipping LOL
06:19
<@Ced23Ric>
So you paid 11 bucks for 6 bucks worth of parts?
06:19
<+Dukayn>
yerp
06:19
<@Ced23Ric>
I think you have a bad margin there.
06:19
<+Dukayn>
cost of registered post in Aus
06:19
<+Dukayn>
possibly not using that store again :/
06:19
<@Ced23Ric>
Possibly not!
06:19
<~Noah>
What was your price per part on that?
06:19
<@Ced23Ric>
Might aswell shop in Europe, then.
06:19
<@Ced23Ric>
Because it's 4 bucks internationally.
06:20

So, there.
06:20

7 bucks for a package.

Ouch, could've bought from a store cheaper, even after tax
06:23

yeah cos most impulse buys at 2am are SO SENSIBLE right?

but fuck it, I HAVE PARTS NOW

she's a Hollywood actress

Starring in what?

geez, you guys, the table's six inches higher all of a sudden. Knock it off.

Charlize wasn't in Heat.
07:21

no way
07:22

Right.
07:22

Hey, he wants to hit the frame with the highest DEF that's fine with me
07:23
<@Ced23Ric>
Fine with you, yes.
07:23

fair call randy :)
07:23
<+Dukayn>
they are both hawt
07:23
<@Ced23Ric>
Makes no sense, though.
07:23
<+Dukayn>
Course not
07:23
<+Dukayn>
except he's got a hard on for the frame that toasted his boy
07:25
<@Ced23Ric>
I am debating putting him out of his misery.
07:25
<@randolph>
Hey, he's learning the mechanics
07:25

Don't go easy on him, but no need to do things out of spite either
07:26
<@Ced23Ric>
Randy: Well, I am up on Initiative.
07:26
<@randolph>
Nod.
07:26
<@Ced23Ric>
I am facing 6 hostile 'frames, with my 5
07:26
<@randolph>
You should cement your lead
07:27
<@Ced23Ric>
I am undamaged across the board.
07:27
<@Ced23Ric>
Trilly has only 4 'frames left that can shoot.
07:27
<@randolph>
Knowing how he's been going, you should fully let him channel is revenge at Duk~
07:27
<@Ced23Ric>
Dukey has two 'frames left, out of which only one can spot in a reliable way.
07:27
<@randolph>
Oh, hm.
07:28
<@randolph>
Got any stations left to cap?
07:28
<@Ced23Ric>
Yes, but that would require inactivity.
07:28
<+Dukayn>
3
07:28
<+Dukayn>
One of Trilly's has no guns
07:28
<@Ced23Ric>
I will snatch Dukey's two stations, eventually.
07:28
<@Ced23Ric>
Got 3 'frames marching in.
07:28
<@randolph>
Leg everyone, forever, starting with anyone who's remotely a threat.
07:28
<@randolph>
NO LEGS FOR ANYONE
07:29
<@Ced23Ric>
I am debating on ... mhmm.
07:29
<@Ced23Ric>
See, I don't want to deprive Dukey of all options.
07:29
<@Ced23Ric>
But I also don't want to attack Trilly and Dukey at the same time.
07:29
<+Dukayn>
My options at this point are do as much damage as I can before being overrun
07:29
<@Ced23Ric>
Mhmm, I think I got an idea.
07:29
<+Dukayn>
I can't win, that's for dang sure
07:30
<@randolph>
If Duk only has two frames left, your best bet is to remove all ranged threats
07:30
<@randolph>
Starting with frames that theoretically could work together, so Trilly's
07:30
<@randolph>
I'm conjecturing mostly, I haven't looked at the map
07:31
<+Dukayn>
eh, the map isn't current anyway :P
07:32

Well, that's the other thing, you guys bitch so much about how reality is desynched I'm afraid to look~

<@Ced23Ric>
I can pass to you and let you go to town on Trilly. :D

hahaha you could
07:36 * Ced23Ric reaches out with an olive branch.
07:37

I suppose that allows you the freedom to do what you want on your turn :P

Don't do it Duk!

07:44

As a matter of fact, I ridicule it at given opportunities.
07:44
<@Soren>
The Mel Brooks school of historical understanding has a lot going for it.
07:44

But as some of those jokes are not just insensitive, but also politcally incorrect to the point of mortal offense ...
07:44

oh I removed the butt as well
09:47

Yeah, I know.

NO BUTT.

09:49
<@Ced23Ric>
So, how'S the company coming along?
09:50
<%afny>
it's more or less done, I just want to take some lighter shields for the 303s
09:50
<%afny>
and some melee weapons just in case
09:50
<%afny>
I think I might have to put in a five or six dollar bricklink order for motors, tile clips, vertical clips and half pins
09:53
<@Ced23Ric>
MOTORS AND CLIPS.
09:53
<@Ced23Ric>
Yeah.
09:54
<@Ced23Ric>
Oh, let me tell you a story.
09:54
<%afny>
A STORY you say.
09:54
<@Ced23Ric>
About the vending machines on our city train platforms.
09:54
<@Ced23Ric>
You can buy drinks, chips, candy, chocolate bars etc. there.
09:54
<@Ced23Ric>
And, as of a month ago, pregnancy tests.
09:55
<@Ced23Ric>
With the CUNNING name "Maybe Baby".
09:57
<%afny>
that is pretty good marketing.
09:57
<%afny>
I think pregnancy tests in vending machines are just the start.
09:57
<%afny>
Pretty soon you'll be Japan.
09:57
<@Ced23Ric>
I am waiting for abortion kits.
09:57
<@Ced23Ric>
"COAT HANGER, BRASS KNUCKLES, MOONSHINE."
09:58
<%afny>
not quite as catchy as "Maybe Baby".
09:58
<@Ced23Ric>
Nah, that's the content.
09:58
<@Ced23Ric>
The name would be: "Shit, a kid."
09:58
<%afny>
that's pretty catchy
09:59
<%afny>
and a plan B pill called "Shit, a zygote"
10:00
<@Ced23Ric>
Mhmm.
10:00
<@Ced23Ric>
That, I'd sell as: "Pregger Fragger".
10:01
<@Ced23Ric>
I am so fucking tired, I try to stay awake by eating, smoking, drinking and chatting in cycles.
10:02
<@Ced23Ric>
I am 4h in, 2h to go, and jackSHIT is going on here.
10:02
<@Ced23Ric>
Patched 20 odd servers.
10:02
<@Ced23Ric>
Unlocked one account.
10:02
<@Ced23Ric>
That was it.
10:02
<@Ced23Ric>
But, Rhubarb-Vanilla-Yogurt pie. That was tasty.
10:05
<%afny>
that sounds pretty incredible
10:05
<%afny>
did you get it from a train platform vending machine'
10:05
<@Ced23Ric>
Nah, a local bakery.
10:05
<@Ced23Ric>
Across from the Ministry.
10:05
<@Ced23Ric>
It's a remnant of the GDR. :D
10:05
<%afny>
an HEIRLOOM bakery would you say
10:06
<@Ced23Ric>
So to say, a VINTAGE pastry shop.
10:07
<@Ced23Ric>
Or should I call it an ANTI-FASCIST FLOUR-PROCESSING AND DECORATION COMBINE?
10:07
<%afny>
I like that one better
10:07
<%afny>
and also "Vintage Pastry" makes it sound like the pastry itself has been around since the 60's
10:07
<@Ced23Ric>
The world called the Wall the Wall.
10:08
<@Ced23Ric>
The GDR called the Wall the ANTI-IMPERIALISTIC PROTECTION BARRIER.
10:09
<@Ced23Ric>
Vintage Pastries reminds me of Sweeney Todd.
10:09
<%afny>
Yes, that's basically the vibe.
10:09
<@Ced23Ric>
Delicius meat pies. Uhm-hmmm.
10:09
<@Ced23Ric>
We don't have those.
10:09
<@Ced23Ric>
Like, meat pies and sausage rolls etc.
10:10
<@Ced23Ric>
Here you buy 12 kinds of buns, 24 kinds of bread, 32 kinds of cake and pie, some breading, some cookies and always hot/black coffee at a bakery.
10:11
<%afny>
al the best smells
10:11
<%afny>
+l
10:11
<@Ced23Ric>
Maybe some buns are cut open and filled with cheese/salad/veggies and butter. Or mayonaise.
10:12
<@Ced23Ric>
Or they go the whole 9 yards and have meatballs in them. Or Schnitzel. Or chicken breasticles.
10:12
<%afny>
that's not a real part of the chicken.
10:13
<@Ced23Ric>
What, chicken breast?
10:13
<@Ced23Ric>
It ain't donkey, that's for sure.
10:13
<%afny>
Hm.
10:13
<%afny>
It might be.
10:13
<@Ced23Ric>
I love donkey salami.
10:14
<@Ced23Ric>
That statement is easily miscinstrued.
10:14
<%afny>
Look.
10:14
<%afny>
I'm misconstruing it right now.
10:14 * Ced23Ric looks.
10:15

10:19
<@Ced23Ric>

10:19
<@Ced23Ric>
Luckily, a user called.
10:19
<@Ced23Ric>
And she had a nice voice.
10:20
<@Ced23Ric>
Her password was due to change, but she cannot do that from remote. So I gave her another 3 days.

train naps are the best
11:47

Well, I'll hit the bed as soon as I am in.
11:47
< Ceddobear>
And sleep for two hours or so.
11:50
<%afny>
okay, now that I really weigh the options
11:50
<%afny>
naps in bed are much better than train naps
11:50
<%afny>
it's just that I had a really good nap on a train once.
11:50
< Ceddobear>
See, yeah.
11:50
< Ceddobear>
But bed naps are safer.
11:50
< Ceddobear>
And usually mor ecomfy.
11:51 * Ceddobear moves the space back.
11:51
<%afny>
what's someone going to do to you while you're asleep on the train
11:51
<%afny>
shit in your mouth?
11:51
<%afny>
steal all your clothes?
11:52
< Ceddobear>
No - you could miss your stop.
11:52
<%afny>
AH.
11:53
<%afny>
that's the beauty of cell phone alarm clocks.
11:54
< Ceddobear>
But those would terminate your nap pematurely.
11:54
< Ceddobear>
*+r
11:54
<%afny>
you gotta time it PROPERLY
11:54
< Ceddobear>
Like, rip you right out of the REM phase.
11:54
< Ceddobear>
And it'll FUCK YOU UP. D:
11:54
<%afny>
in all likelihood that will happen anyway
11:54
<%afny>
or you won't enter REM sleep
11:54
<%afny>
how long is your train ride?
11:54
< Ceddobear>
Which would be a HORRIBLE nap.
11:54
< Ceddobear>
21 minutes.
11:54
<%afny>
hm
11:54
<%afny>
you'd be hard pressed to enter REM sleep
11:54
< Ceddobear>
Probably no seat.
11:55
<%afny>
haha you'd be SUPER hard pressed
11:55
< Ceddobear>
I usually sit on the motor.
11:55
<%afny>
the what
11:55
<%afny>
what kind of train car is it
11:55
< Ceddobear>
As in, there's blinds around a car-wide, 3ft tall box at the end of the car.
11:55
<%afny>
huh
11:56
< Ceddobear>
It's not really a motor.
11:56
< Ceddobear>
It's where the power is routed to the motors in the individual wheel section.
11:56
< Ceddobear>
But I call it motor.
11:56
< Ceddobear>
It has two palm-sized stickers.
11:56
< Ceddobear>
"DON'T PUT ANYTHING ON HERE."
11:56
< Ceddobear>
And:
11:57
< Ceddobear>
"NO SITTING AT ANYTIME."
11:57
< Ceddobear>
I cover those up with my backpack.
11:57
<%afny>
and your butt
11:57
< Ceddobear>
And my Butt.
11:57
<%afny>
because you know the old adage.
11:57
<%afny>
Motors. And butts.
11:57
< Ceddobear>
MOTORS AND BUTTS.
11:57
< Ceddobear>
A natural match.
11:57
< Ceddobear>
Then I turn up the music.
11:57
< Ceddobear>
Lean against the backwindow.
11:58
< Ceddobear>
And sleep/doze.
12:01

Is there a joke here I'm not getting?

Hey, could the MgM mount a 1x2 surface upright or horizontal on it's back?
17:07

17:07

uhh the mgn's head/back section is very vague

Tell me, Kev, what do I need?
17:08

I mean you have to dick around back there, but you have one bottom of a travis to start with
17:08
<%afny>
so the possibilities are pretty much infinite
17:08
<@Ced23Ric>
Oh, that's sufficient.
17:08
<@Ced23Ric>
What do I need to build one of those?
17:08
<%afny>
well the basics are 3 travis (for the center and the knees)
17:09
<@Ced23Ric>
Got that.
17:09
<%afny>
4 taps (plug into center travis)
17:09
<@Ced23Ric>
Got that.
17:09
<%afny>
8 tile clips: one for each of the taps, and four for the feet
17:09
<@Ced23Ric>
(I received bricks from the UK today. Included 20 travis bricks.)
17:09
<@Ced23Ric>
Yeah, got tons of those.
17:09
<@McMartin>
<Freakazoid> BRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIICK
17:09
<%afny>
either 2 1x1 rounds or 2 1x1 cones for the shins; plug a pneumatic joint thingy into them and then shove them into two clips for the feet
17:10

then just jumpers and those 2x2 joint bits for the arms

Yeah.
17:14
<%afny>
I used 1x1 rounds with open studs for everything but the black and white frame
17:14
<%afny>
but I bulked up my legs lots for most of them, especially the 311s
17:14
<%afny>
it just depends if you want sleek or bulky
17:14
<@Ced23Ric>
Bulky.
17:14
<@Ced23Ric>
Always bulky.
17:14
<%afny>
you should check out Malcom's flikr in general and look at the 311/3XXX series
17:14
<%afny>
they're much bigger and he's got a lot of interesting ideas for plating
17:15
<@Ced23Ric>
Link?
17:15
<%afny>
I just linked you to his Flikr!
17:15
<@Ced23Ric>
... oh.
17:15
<@Ced23Ric>
Derp.
17:16
<%afny>
aw, this guy sent me a bunch of extra minifig neck studs because he screwed up my order
17:16
<%afny>
what a nice guy
17:17
<@Ced23Ric>
Yay!
17:17
<@Ced23Ric>
Oh.

<@Ced23Ric>
I cannot build MgM.

17:18

Don't have those hinges.
17:18
<%afny>
hinges?
17:18
<%afny>
for what
17:18
<@Ced23Ric>
The arms.
17:18
<%afny>
oh
17:19
<%afny>
you can use slammer arms
17:19
<%afny>
although it looks a little funny because they're extra long
17:19
<@Ced23Ric>
Yeah.
17:19
<@Ced23Ric>
Maybe not, then.
17:19
<@Ced23Ric>
Balls.
17:19
<@Ced23Ric>
What are those called on BrickLink?
17:19
<%afny>
dunno, I didn't buy any
17:19
<%afny>
plate, modified something I imagine
17:20
<@Ced23Ric>
"Hinge Plate".
17:21
<@Ced23Ric>
Balls. Local stores only have them in green and yellow.
17:22
<%afny>
balls indeed
17:22
<%afny>
green is cool
17:22
<@Ced23Ric>
BALLS.
17:22
<@Ced23Ric>
The store with the lowest price ...
17:22
<@Ced23Ric>
... I just ordered from.
17:22
<%afny>
BALLS AGAIN.
17:25

17:25
<@Ced23Ric>
I will order this.
17:26
<@Ced23Ric>
And find a way to use it.
17:26
<@Ced23Ric>
You will call me crazy.
17:26
<@Ced23Ric>
And then, bow to me.
17:26
<@Ced23Ric>
... wait, it's 1.30 Euros? Fuck that noise.
17:28
<%afny>
you could get a BLUE QUARTERDOME for that price
17:28
<@Soren>
hee
17:37

Ordering those hinges now.
17:38 * Ced23Ric has decided.
17:38
<@Ced23Ric>
MgM's it is.
17:38
<%afny>
that's a movie studeo
17:38
<%afny>
...er.
17:38
<%afny>
STUDIO.
17:38
<@Ced23Ric>
Also, I can build the rest without the Hinges and just add the arms later. So that works, too.
17:38
<@Ced23Ric>
MgN?
17:39
<%afny>
Man I don't even fucking know how to type STUDIO. Maybe they're M&Ms.
17:39
<@Ced23Ric>
Maybe baby!
17:39
<%afny>
Shit, a kid.
17:39
<@Ced23Ric>

17:39

17:40

17:40

17:56

Gives you new angles on how to use parts.
17:57

I'mma build 2x A Y Y G, 1x DF Y Y B, and 1x DF DF Y B.

Thoughts on using a pile of these: http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=30136 for building destructible cover
18:27
< CalaveraJoe>
?
18:28
<~Noah>
Brown for log cabins!
18:29
< CalaveraJoe>
I'd love to use the masonry bits like Ced does, but they tend to run about 6x more expensive
18:29
<~Noah>
Sure do
18:29
<~Noah>
Dunno if they'll come down in price
18:29
< CalaveraJoe>
I think they might eventually, since the new LotR sets have some in there it should mean more of them will hit the market
18:29
< CalaveraJoe>
but I doubt it'll be anytime soon
18:30
< CalaveraJoe>
I'd be shocked to see them in the < $0.05 range
18:30
< CalaveraJoe>
I was surprised that the 30136s are often less than plain old 3004s
18:32
<~Noah>
Depending on color, sure
18:33
< CalaveraJoe>
*nod*
18:33
<~Noah>
Still, it's a neat brick, if you can find enough of them to build interesting terrain with, go for it
18:34
< CalaveraJoe>
Well, there's a dealer that's got them for about 3-4 cents each
18:34
< CalaveraJoe>
Which means I could easily pick up 400+ of them
18:34
< CalaveraJoe>
without it being stupid expensive
18:35
<~Noah>
Sure sure
18:35
< CalaveraJoe>
My other thought was just picking a whole spread of 1 x X bricks all in the same color
18:35
< CalaveraJoe>
but that presumes I can find them for ~3-4 cents each, tops
18:36
< CalaveraJoe>
Which can be fiddly depending on the color
18:36
<~Noah>
Pondering getting some doors and windows to make some urban ruins
18:36
< CalaveraJoe>
*nod*
18:37
< CalaveraJoe>
Back in Dec, the local Lego store had the windows with the criss cross panels in the PAB wall, I regret not picking a pile of them up
18:38
<~Noah>
1xXs in a solid color could be fine in black, light or dark bley, or old grey, tan, and probably redish brown, and plain brown
18:38
< CalaveraJoe>
Yeah, sadly, I think the bleys are starting to run up in price
18:38
<~Noah>
And you can use the bright colors for accenting, like around windows or doors, or trimming a roofline
18:38
<%afny>
or just an odd stripe
18:39
<%afny>
if you're not doing full buildings
18:39
<~Noah>
Right
18:39
<~Noah>
I was thinking like partial roof structure

yeah

I think the wife would slap me silly for dropping $80 on bricks
18:54

She might. Only one way to find out.
18:54
< CalaveraJoe>
Rather, $80 /more/ on bricks, hehe
18:55
<@Ced23Ric>
Kev, how does the front armor of the MgN work?
18:56
<%afny>
it really depends
18:56
<%afny>
um
18:56
<%afny>
what soren does for the 303EX is different than what I do
18:56
<%afny>
I'm not sure how he attaches the head, but he reverses the taps in the shoulders and puts a round 1x1 with a cheese slope on it
18:56
<%afny>
to get the breasplates
18:57
<%afny>
then he puts a 1x2 plate going from the sternum down on the front of the travis
18:57
<%afny>
and decorates that
18:57
<%afny>
then you can put 1x1 plates into the taps near the groin
18:57
< CalaveraJoe>
MgN?
18:57
<%afny>
or if you want to do ARMOR like on the 311/30xx
18:58
<%afny>
you have to use 1x3 plates
18:58
<%afny>
two of them, and some 1x2s and whatever else you want to decorate the armor with
18:58
<%afny>
and cross them in a "T" shape off the travis
18:58
<%afny>
hold on I
18:58

have to restart

19:05
< afny>
it's like..yeah, okay, you've got to deal with a lot of data
19:05
< CalaveraJoe>
Yeah
19:05
< afny>
but that's NO EXCUSE.
19:05
< CalaveraJoe>
There are some things it does REALLY well, especially if you learn to dig around right
19:05
< CalaveraJoe>
but for some things that should be simple.. oy
19:05
< afny>
Yeah. It's got tons of advanced functionality like the xml wanted list stuff which is all really nice
19:06
< afny>
but just trying to find your damn messages
19:06
<~Noah>
Yea, I've found it to be very powerful
19:06
< CalaveraJoe>
Like, when I search for a part, regardless of color, and filter by qty / location and tell it to sort by best price.... SPLIT UP THE COLORS AND SHOW ME THE CHEAP BRICKS *cough*
19:06
<~Noah>
But it has a clunkiness like I've never seen
19:06
< CalaveraJoe>
That, or, yanno, add an option to filter searches with a price range
19:06
<~Noah>
But it's strangely easier to deal with than ebay
19:07
< afny>
well it's not a bidding system
19:07
< afny>
it's just a market
19:07
< CalaveraJoe>
Hrm, could build nice /yellow/ walls
19:07
< CalaveraJoe>
afny: So? Being able to search and say "I want to see only stores that XX brick in > 300 qty for less than $Y" would be great
19:07
< afny>
Oh, I was responding to Noah
19:08
< CalaveraJoe>
Ahh, nvm, missed Noah's ebay comment
19:08
<~Noah>
I rarely bid on ebay, I usually do buy it now
19:08
< CalaveraJoe>
Noah: Ditto
19:08
< afny>
yeah I think it should have a power search
19:08
< CalaveraJoe>
I only bid on stuff I absolutely cannot find otherwise,and even then I'm a bastard who uses sniping software
19:08
< afny>
and the way it handles color in general is pretty bad...I thought each brick had a design ID which indicated its color as well as a part number
19:08
< afny>
it seems like with that info it would let you filter out color really easily
19:09
<@Ced23Ric>

What do you have so far
19:10
<@Ced23Ric>
Shoulders. :D
19:10
< afny>
but
19:10
< afny>
...but you don't even have the arm part
19:10
< afny>
how are you making shoulders
19:10
<@Ced23Ric>
Put a 1x2 in there?
19:11
< afny>
oh, you're just like
19:11
<@Ced23Ric>
I don't need the arms. It's a place holder.
19:11
< afny>
testing the shoulders?
19:11
<@Ced23Ric>
Yeah.
19:11
< afny>
the only one I built anything on the shoulders for was the black and white one
19:11
< afny>
uhhh what's the problem
19:11
< afny>
like you just can't make them look like BIG MAN BICEPS or something?
19:12
<@Ced23Ric>
I need to build a chestplate and a backpack.
19:12
<@Ced23Ric>
And give 'em leg armor.
19:12
<@Ced23Ric>
Pretty sure they'll be better then.
19:12
< afny>
yeah, it's a pretty tiny frame
19:12

so if you want beef you have to greeble
19:12

19:13
< CalaveraJoe>
If I'm /that/ curious, then I can search
19:13
< CalaveraJoe>
Noah: Yeah, the results aren't perfect, but at least I can filter by price now
19:13
< afny>
if you search his name they come up right away
19:14
< afny>
the originals all have headlight w/ minifig neck studs for heads
19:14
< afny>
well, except the 302, which has binoculars.
19:14
< CalaveraJoe>
That's a nice little frame
19:15
< afny>
they're so much fun to make
19:15
<~Noah>
Works okay for me
19:16
< CalaveraJoe>
afny: I really dig the ankles on that thing
19:17
< CalaveraJoe>
Hrm. Let's see, if I want to pay .03 or less per 1 x 2, my options are white, yellow, red, green, blue, or lime
19:18
< afny>
pretty much anything I did on the ankles I took from either one of Malcolm's heavy 311's or from Soren's 303
19:18
<~Noah>
Every travis brick in USA under .30 with quantity over 25 is GONE
19:18
< CalaveraJoe>
Bumping it to 0.05 gives me more options, though not actually many
19:18
< CalaveraJoe>
Noah: Sorry
19:19
< CalaveraJoe>
I ended up finding a lot of 139 dark bley travis bricks for .20 each
19:19
<~Noah>
Best price is .31 for 44
19:19
< CalaveraJoe>
Still cheaper than PAB, and the shipping will be less
19:20
<~Noah>
CalaveraJoe: in USA? How many?
19:20
< CalaveraJoe>
Noah: Yeah, 139 dark bley
19:20
< CalaveraJoe>
I got lucky
19:20
< CalaveraJoe>
Its a /very/ satisfying baggie
19:20
<~Noah>
Hehe
19:21
< CalaveraJoe>
Also found 35 black ones for .15 each
19:21
< afny>
wow
19:21
< afny>
that's so cheap
19:21
< CalaveraJoe>
Yeah
19:21
< CalaveraJoe>
the dark bleys were .24 each
19:21
< afny>
I think I payed 26
19:22
< CalaveraJoe>
Almost $16 saved over PAB on that ONE part
19:22
< CalaveraJoe>
Which was nice, since it meant I stopped being angsty about ordering from like, 7 different people
19:22
< CalaveraJoe>
Cause on the travis bricks alone I covered nearly all the shipping
19:22
< afny>
Ironically, 5 studs are probably the only thing that are remotely similar in price on PAB
19:23
< CalaveraJoe>
I love seeing parts listed for MORE than the PAB price

It's like.. really? Are ya nuts?
19:24

sometimes a store will get me with that though
19:24
<~Noah>
What's PAB's shipping like?
19:24
< MittenNinja>
slow
19:24
< afny>
maybe not MORE than PAB, but I'll pay more than a reasonable price for something if I'm only ordering from four stores, and one of them happens to have something I need in a low quauntity
19:24
< MittenNinja>
they ship it from poland
19:24
< CalaveraJoe>
And expensive
19:24
< afny>
that isn't worth starting a new order for
19:24
< MittenNinja>
it takes like 2+ weeks
19:24
<~Noah>
Heh
19:24
< CalaveraJoe>
Which explains the expensive
19:25
< CalaveraJoe>
I'll pay up to PAB prices for something, especially if Im ordering in quantity, since the shipping will /still/ be less
19:25
< MittenNinja>
ditto
19:26
< CalaveraJoe>
Noah: There are some bigger lots of travis bricks for more than .35 each
19:26
<~Noah>
I know
19:26
< CalaveraJoe>
but .48 a travis is dumb
19:26
< CalaveraJoe>
You'd have to save a CRAPTON on the rest of your order
19:26
< CalaveraJoe>
http://www.bricklink.com/store.asp?p=LittleFigs&itemID=31993346 isn't bad though
19:27
< CalaveraJoe>
Only .04 higher
19:27
< CalaveraJoe>
but most of that store's inventory seems high to me
19:27
< CalaveraJoe>
So it'd be tough to save enough to eat up that .04 per travis
19:29
< afny>
So
19:29
< afny>
starting to build at my desk
19:29

was not a good idea

Hrm... how eyebleedey would red, yellow, or blue walls be?
19:34
<~Noah>
Blue isn't that bad actually
19:34
<~Noah>
Red might be find mixed with black
19:34
< CalaveraJoe>
I'm thinking blue with maybe tan accent
19:34
< afny>
red and blue would both be fine
19:34
< CalaveraJoe>
Red / Black / Bley is what all my frame parts are
19:34
< afny>
but the problem is if you mix them, or ESPECIALLY if you add yellow
19:34
<~Noah>
Yellow is just so very bright
19:34
< afny>
it just gets gross
19:34
< afny>
I have ONE yellow plate in some pictures, and I look at them and go
19:35
< afny>
wtf was I thinking putting a yellow plate in this picture.
19:35
< CalaveraJoe>
I searched for 3004s at >300 for =< .02
19:35
< CalaveraJoe>
I think yellow only works if you really commit to it
19:36
< afny>
well the problem with yellow isn't the yellow itself
19:36
< CalaveraJoe>
It's the yellow + any other color
19:36
< afny>
its the fact that you're more than likely to already have a lot of the other two primaries in the mix
19:36
< afny>
so the yellow just sort of grays everything out and steals focus
19:37
< CalaveraJoe>
For a cool $52 I could buy out the whole lot of 3000+ 1x2 blue bricks
19:37 * CalaveraJoe thinks his wife would punch him
19:38
< afny>
that's so many
19:38
< CalaveraJoe>
I know
19:38
< afny>
that's like
19:38
< CalaveraJoe>
I'd be tempted to send the dude a note to the effect of "Hey, can I get a discount if I buy ALL of this one high volume brick from you?"
19:38
< afny>
you could build an entire really trippy city layout with that
19:39
<~Noah>
For 613, you could buy 30k
19:40
< afny>
even with 3000
19:40
< afny>
you could afford to HATCH them
19:40
< CalaveraJoe>
Aroo? Hatch?
19:40
< afny>
like alternating orientation
19:41
< CalaveraJoe>
Ah, lol, yeah
19:41 * CalaveraJoe wonders how many 1x2s will fit in the big PAB wall cup
19:41
< afny>
I don't know my brain is just conjuring up all sorts of weird images of entirely blue cityscapes made only out of 1x2 bricks
19:42 * CalaveraJoe can't even visualize 30,000 1x2 bricks
19:43
< afny>
the most I can visualize is 400
19:43
<@Soren>
unfortunately, I can.
19:43
< afny>
and only because Ced described it
19:43
< CalaveraJoe>
Soren: How/Why?
19:43
< afny>
He's SEEN THINGS, man
19:48
< CalaveraJoe>
7p is standard(ish) scale, right?
19:50
< afny>
yep
20:00
<@Soren>
I've seen someone tip over a trash can full of bricks.
20:00
<@Soren>
it was probably 15k.
20:00
<@Soren>
So, twice that.
20:01

< CalaveraJoe>
That just hurts
20:01
< MittenNinja>
thoughts for improvement?
20:01
< CalaveraJoe>
The head looks a little fiddly
20:01
< CalaveraJoe>
At least in that shot
20:02
< afny>
COLOR TILES
20:02
< MittenNinja>
fiddly as in too bulky? or too flimsy?
20:02
< MittenNinja>
well yeah color
20:02
< CalaveraJoe>
Case of tiny head
20:02
< MittenNinja>
i build all my wip stuff in bley
20:02
< CalaveraJoe>
Compared to the rest of him
20:02
< MittenNinja>
or black
20:03
< MittenNinja>
joe: gotcha
20:03
< CalaveraJoe>
Nice articulation on the legs, by the by
20:03
< afny>
yeah, the legs are kickass
20:03
< afny>
but the wheels in the arms break my suspension of disbelief about the existence of elbows
20:03
< MittenNinja>
thanks!
20:03
< CalaveraJoe>
Scale: So in 7p, 3b is cover, 6b is high enough to climb on, right?
20:04
< MittenNinja>
let me get a different angle up too
20:04
< CalaveraJoe>
6 high and 4x4 or greater
20:04
< afny>
I don't have the pdf on this machine, not sure about the climbing rules
20:04
< CalaveraJoe>
I'm trying to visualize buildings made mostly from 1x2s
20:05
< afny>
are they trippy and blue
20:05
< CalaveraJoe>
if a person is 7p, that means that 3b is /about/ 1 floor
20:05
< afny>
I STILL SEE IT it's freaking me out.
20:05
< CalaveraJoe>
afny: Yes
20:05
< CalaveraJoe>
That or red
20:05
< CalaveraJoe>
and I think red building with my red accented frames might be a BIT MUCH
20:05
< afny>
you could just set it on mars
20:05
< afny>
get a blue lightbulb for the sunset
20:06
< afny>
and use a ton of red bricks
20:06
< CalaveraJoe>
Admittedly, I went with red and black/bley cause, well, it was cheap
20:06
< CalaveraJoe>
for all of /someone's/ frame designs *cough MittenNinja cough*
20:06
< afny>
I use red and black a lot because I have a ton of those breaks
20:06
< afny>
..bricks
20:06
< afny>
from my childhood apparently
20:06 * CalaveraJoe still likes Ced23Ric 's idea of rating frames in terms of "Mittens"
20:06
< MittenNinja>
lol
20:07
< CalaveraJoe>
Particularly where travis bricks and slopes are concerned
20:07
< MittenNinja>
thats true
20:07
< CalaveraJoe>
Like my Salamander would be a 6 Mittens frame
20:07
< MittenNinja>
i took apart my two grand nagas yesterday and freed up 24 travis bricks
20:07
< CalaveraJoe>
On a 0-10 scale
20:07
< CalaveraJoe>
o_O
20:07
< MittenNinja>
:D
20:08
< CalaveraJoe>
It's not completely your fault, its just that squieiuouoeuoueou (sp?)'s designs are travis intensive
20:09
< MittenNinja>
yeah
20:09
< MittenNinja>
definitely
20:09
< MittenNinja>
I've been using a lot less of them in more recent designs
20:09
< CalaveraJoe>
They're great for having points to decorate off of
20:09
< MittenNinja>
alrighty

alirghty, thanks!
20:15
<@Ced23Ric>
Grand Nagas are 1 Mittens.
20:15
<@Ced23Ric>
= 12 Travis bricks.
20:16
< MittenNinja>
lol
20:16
<@Ced23Ric>
For example, the MgN is 0.25 Mittens!
20:16
< afny>
I've never even gone above half a mitten
20:16
<@Ced23Ric>
I pushed the Grand Naga to 1.25 Mittens and felt dirty for it.
20:16
<@Ced23Ric>
As in, the Elder Naga.
20:17
< CalaveraJoe>
That would make the Salamaber 0.83... Mittens
20:17
<@Ced23Ric>
My Bloated Asps are 0,75 Mittens, HA!
20:17
<@Ced23Ric>
* .
20:17
< MittenNinja>
Thus far the Komodo is .58 Mittens
20:18
< MittenNinja>
I doubt I'll have a frame that I actually want to use in multiples above 1 mitten
20:19
< CalaveraJoe>
For mini buildings, does something that 10 x 10 sound too small?
20:21
< afny>
10x10x10~?
20:21
< afny>
or just length and width?
20:22
< CalaveraJoe>
10x10xX (3b1p per "floor")
20:23
< afny>
could be a small house
20:24
< CalaveraJoe>
Of course, this is also dependent upon plate availability
20:24
< afny>
10x7 is like a shotgun shack
20:24
< CalaveraJoe>
Since I'd want to use plates for "floors"
20:27
< CalaveraJoe>
Hrm, looks like 8x8 is the biggest non-baseplate
20:27
< CalaveraJoe>
square, that is
20:29
< CalaveraJoe>
Now though, time to feed the baby

You have, what, four and a half full companies now?
21:05

And the Archer and the K CHubs.
21:06

Ahh
21:06
<@Ced23Ric>
Then I built 4 Gadian v2 and 4 MgN.
21:06

I might try to cobble something new together... I haven't bricked anything in awhile

I have these MgNs.

22:16
<@Ced23Ric>
Arms not, because I am missing the hinges, but they are on their way.
22:16
<@Ced23Ric>
But ... the back module.
22:16
<@Ced23Ric>
Is a problem.
22:16
<@Ced23Ric>
I have 4 MgNs.
22:17
<@Soren>
so.
22:17
<@Ced23Ric>
2 have a Chub backpack, 2 have 2 hl bricks, facing upwards, to mount the Arty cannon.
22:17
<@Ced23Ric>
This is too small of a backpack.
22:17
<@Soren>
mm.
22:17
<@Ced23Ric>
I have a 1x2 plate to mount to on every back.
22:17
<+afny>
I use the commissar backpack
22:17
<@Ced23Ric>
Yeah, I already used the round shapes.
22:17
<+afny>
but Malcolm has two different backpacks in the breakdown of the 309 on his Flikr
22:18
<+afny>
oh, you just need ideas for bulk
22:18
<+afny>
I thought you meant the connections
22:18
<@Ced23Ric>
Like, two of them have sensor domes.
22:18
<+afny>
so what exactly es problem
22:18
<@Soren>
http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=4871 try this
22:18
<@Ced23Ric>
2x A Y Y G, 2x DF Y Y B, is what I am going for.
22:18
<@Ced23Ric>
Don't have any. But good call.
22:19
<@Soren>
So get some. You're in mother-fucking Bricklink heaven.

Mhmm.
22:20
<+afny>
he's so gesticulate now
22:21
<+afny>
I'm so using that as an adjective
22:21
<+afny>
so what systems do you already have
22:21
<@Ced23Ric>
*Rubs chin*
22:21
<+afny>
like are you looking to mount the Bs or Gs back there or do you just need filler
22:21
<@Ced23Ric>
A (Massive 1x8 long cannon) Y (antenna in the right shoulder) G (jets in the shoulders).
22:22
<@Ced23Ric>
I mostly need fillers, but maybe I squeeze another Y thingey in there.
22:22
<+afny>
I went two different routes with my ys
22:22
<+afny>
frames that got two got huge ass stuff
22:22
<+afny>
and frames that got 1 just got minifig hands on their shoulders
22:23
<+afny>
you could add one of those longer black technic pins
22:23
<+afny>
and cap it with a 1x1 round/something else on top of that
22:23
<@Ced23Ric>
Mhmm, I got these 1x2 - 2x2 90? angle plates.
22:23
<@Ced23Ric>
Those could work.
22:26
<+afny>
I can't picture what your back assembly actually looks like but you could also mount some upside down 1x2 bricks behind the shoulders
22:26
<+afny>
and put half pins in them with those angled vents on top
22:27
<+afny>
so they face slightly forward
22:27
<@Ced23Ric>
I think I got something, lemme try.
22:28
<@Ced23Ric>
... way too fucking big.

<@Ced23Ric>
What.
22:53
<@Ced23Ric>
I send mine as a letter.
22:53
<+MittenNinja>
which apparently is $13 worth of work
22:53
<+MittenNinja>
you can pull that with tiles
22:54
<+MittenNinja>
but with some fo the stuff i sent you it was a bit bulkier
22:54
<@Ced23Ric>
We have up to 500 grams (17 ounces) as a maxi-letter.
22:54
<@Ced23Ric>
And that's a US Letter sized bubble mailer.
22:54
<+MittenNinja>
well either the guy there was a douchebag
22:54
<@Ced23Ric>
And it's 4 Euros. Worldwide.
22:54
<+MittenNinja>
and totally fucked me

22:55
<@Ced23Ric>
Well, I had pasta with onions, paprika, aribiatta sauce and diced salami.
22:55
<+MittenNinja>

AnimeFest stuff.
23:17
<+Tetrajak>
haha, all good, I am busy programming
23:18
< ferrelferret>
ahh the fun of convention managership.
23:18
< ferrelferret>
whatcha programing?
23:18
<+Tetrajak>
a project management system, that does an awful lot more (or will do, when it's done)
23:18
<~Noah>
Tetrajak: Language?
23:19
<+Tetrajak>
Noah: PHP, mysql, javascript, etc
23:19
<+Tetrajak>
it's web based, because that's quick and easy
23:19
<+Tetrajak>
well, web language based
23:20
<+Tetrajak>
I would be coding it in C++ or Java, but I'm not being given the two years I'd need to do such a thing

This IRC room is a fickle thing.
23:21
<@Ced23Ric>
Sometimes it BURSTs through the seams with conspirative hilarity.
23:21
<@Ced23Ric>
Sometimes it just falls asleep during primetime like a long-time husband during domestic coitus.
23:21
<+Tetrajak>
lololol
23:22
<+Tetrajak>
well, the IRC is populated by humans, and humans are fickle, so it makes sense that the activity of the chatroom is fickle
23:22
<+Tetrajak>
the only really constant thing is the bot
23:22
<@Ced23Ric>
God damnit, hinge plates. Who'da thunk? :(
23:22
<@Ced23Ric>
Yeha, but he makes for poor conversations.
23:22
<@Ced23Ric>
His responses are so ...
23:22
<+Tetrajak>
Ced: WHICH hinge plates?
23:22
<@Ced23Ric>
!shades

... mechanic.
23:22
<@mf0bot>
YEEEEEEEAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!
23:23
<+Tetrajak>
*facepalm*
23:23
<@Ced23Ric>
Oh, the 1x2 ones, that click into each other.
23:23
<~Noah>
Be sure to watch the crosswalks because Ced23Ric is so...
23:23
<~Noah>
!shades
23:23
<@Ced23Ric>
They can fold out to a 1x4 or collapse to a 2x2.
23:23
<+Tetrajak>
you'll need to be more specific than that
23:23
<~Noah>
Pedestian.
23:23
<@mf0bot>
YEEEEEEEAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!
23:23

Pedestrian?
23:23
<@Ced23Ric>
Pedantic, you meant?
23:23
<~Noah>
Bah, whatver
23:24
<@Ced23Ric>
Anyway. Horizontal hinge plates.
23:27
<~Noah>
One. Store. One store. With over 300 travis bricks, at .3015 each

Well, I have none.
23:33
<@Ced23Ric>
Which hinders my production of 4 MgN 'frames.
23:37
<~Noah>
Ced23Ric: buy some?
23:37
<@Ced23Ric>
I did.
23:38
<+Tetrajak>
I admit, I find MgN frames rather weak in the tap joints
23:39
<@Ced23Ric>
Tap to Travis?
23:39
<+Tetrajak>
Although I'm not sure what I'd substitute the taps for
23:39
<+Tetrajak>
Ced: yea
23:39
<@Ced23Ric>
There's a simple trick.
23:39
<+Tetrajak>
oh?
23:39
<@Ced23Ric>
Put 3mm rigid hose cut so it fits in flush in there.
23:39
<@Ced23Ric>
Works as a spacer and keeps the taps from going in too deep where they lose grip.
23:39
<+Tetrajak>
Huh, that's really neat
23:40
<+Tetrajak>
I shall have to revisit the MgN frames in light of this
23:40
<@Ced23Ric>
Yeah, mine a supersturdy.
23:40
<@Ced23Ric>
It's such a minor change.
23:40
<@Ced23Ric>
But does so much.
23:40
<@Ced23Ric>
Stock up on 3mm rigid hose, people.
23:41
<@Ced23Ric>
It's duct tape for Legos.
23:41
<+Tetrajak>
lolol
23:41
<@Ced23Ric>
No, it really is.
23:41
<@Ced23Ric>
You ever built a Chub?
23:43
<@Ced23Ric>
There is the Travis, going into the dish, into the technic brick.
23:43
<@Ced23Ric>
The dish sits rocksolid in the technic brick.
23:43
<@Ced23Ric>
But the Travis gets lose often.
23:43
<@Ced23Ric>
Jab some hose through it, BOOM, rock solid, too.
23:45
<+Tetrajak>
I will have to keep this in mind when inserting 3mm connections into travis bricks
23:45
<+Tetrajak>
I think I still have a bunch of 3mm tube sitting at the bottom of my technic parts container
23:45
<@Ced23Ric>
You can connect so many things with that.
23:46
<+Tetrajak>
Yup, I've used it in the past in cut up bits for different things
