00:00 | <@Ced23Ric> | 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> | "Antenna set to transmt! SENDING PIRATE RADIO NOW!" |
00:04 | <%afny> | TOTALLY CANON |
00:04 | <@McMartin> | Arrrrrr. |
00:04 | <@Ced23Ric> | Totally "cannon". |
00:04 | <@McMartin> | GIVE 'EM A BROADSIDE FROM THE CANON |
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> | Winnie the Pooh? |
00:09 | <%afny> | you lost me |
00:10 | < Axhead> | I am lost too... Is there a reference pic I am missing? |
00:10 | <%afny> | http://www.flickr.com/photos/kyanosmoros/7157954201/in/pool-438009@N25/lightbox/ |
00:10 | <%afny> | but I don't know about that winnie the pooh thing |
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 |
00:11 | <@Ced23Ric> | http://www.ced23ric.de/stuff/mf0/vmx06_gadian2_b6.png <-- That's what I did today. |
00:11 | <@McMartin> | YOUR SPOON IS TOO BIG |
00:11 | <%afny> | that's what the radio station on its back is for |
00:12 | <@Ced23Ric> | "CALLING IN LOW ORBITAL ION CANNON SHOT." |
00:13 | < Axhead> | You guys are such sensitive artists, it cracks me up |
00:13 | <%afny> | my spoon is too big. |
00:14 | <@Ced23Ric> | Axhead: Elaborate. |
00:14 | <@Ced23Ric> | I am suspecting humor. |
00:15 | <@Ced23Ric> | And I want in. |
00:15 | < Axhead> | I am intending humour |
00:15 | <@Ced23Ric> | Also, Mittens: Got invoiced for the sandgreen tiles, paid 'em. Should be shipped tomorrow! |
00:15 | <@Mantisking> | Dinner time for me. |
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 | < Dukayn> | man this Paladin is ridonkulous |
00:16 | < Axhead> | So long as you are both consenting adults I have no problem with that |
00:16 | < Dukayn> | New Gadians Ced23Ric ? |
00:17 | <%afny> | I called them "majestic" |
00:17 | < Axhead> | Uh oh. Gotta play lego starwars online games with the hatchet |

00:18 | <+Dukayn> | They are sweet |
00:18 | <%afny> | take a picture with the cockpit open |
00:18 | <@Ced23Ric> | Dukayn: Yeah. VMX-06 Gadian v2. |
00:18 | <+Dukayn> | The heads remind me a bit of the Xenomorph from Alien |
00:19 | <@Ced23Ric> | Okay, gimme a sec. |
00:19 | <%afny> | yeah, I thought that too Dukayn |
00:19 | <%afny> | but they aren't terrifying |
00:19 | <%afny> | they look like herbivores |
00:19 | <+Dukayn> | Hahah |
00:19 | <%afny> | herbivores with guns |
00:19 | <+Dukayn> | COWS WITH GUNS |
00:19 | <%afny> | I was thinking more like some saurian shit |
00:20 | <+MittenNinja> | Awesome ced! When you fervent go ahead ans send them to the Estes circle address. |
00:20 | <@Ced23Ric> | I shall. |
00:21 | <+MittenNinja> | We just closed on the house this morning :) |
00:21 | <+Dukayn> | ooh selling or buying? |
00:21 | <+MittenNinja> | Buying |
00:22 | <+MittenNinja> | We move on Sunday |
00:23 | <+Ramcat> | Where? |
00:23 | <+MittenNinja> | Just across town. |
00:23 | <+Ramcat> | Ah, better than long distance move |
00:24 | <+MittenNinja> | Moving from a shitty apartment into a house |
00:24 | <+Ramcat> | Oh nice |

00:31 | <%afny> | ...THINGS. |
00:32 | <@Ced23Ric> | I like it because it reminds me of an Assault Class BattleTech 'Mech. |
00:32 | <@Ced23Ric> | It's large, evil and looks like it has a fat belly. |

00:37 | | Mantisking [rsbdnvbwein@Nightstar-da7fffe9.ma.comcast.net] has quit [Ping timeout: 121 seconds] |
00:37 | <%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 | <+Dukayn> | yay new wallpaper rendering |
00:42 | <@Soren> | yay |
00:42 | <@Soren> | your renders are uniformly classy. |
00:42 | <+Dukayn> | 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> | mm |
00:53 | <+Dukayn> | I like this: http://www.flickr.com/photos/76543270@N07/7333434704/in/photostream |
00:53 | <+Dukayn> | not too ridic |
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. |
01:09 | | Ced23Ric [Ced@Nightstar-bbf4de41.adsl.alicedsl.de] has quit [[NS] Quit: ] |
01:09 | <+Dukayn> | yeah and you could have a tree half as big with 18 pieces in i t |
01:09 | <@Soren> | 'tis an issue, yes. |
01:09 | <+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. |
01:10 | <+Dukayn> | just can't stand up to the barrage |

01:10 | <~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> | http://www.flickr.com/photos/kyanosmoros/7343338498/lightbox/ |
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 | <+MittenNinja> | 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 | <%afny> | okay |
01:26 | <%afny> | that's pretty shitty of yahoo |
01:26 | <+MittenNinja> | It could just be my phone too. I'm not sure |
01:27 | <+Dukayn> | just remove the /lightbox/ :) |

01:33 | <%afny> | THE FRICTION |
01:33 | <%afny> | you can only go up or down |
01:33 | <%afny> | what if they walk to the left! |
01:34 | <+Dukayn> | you'd have to physically move :P |
01:34 | <@Soren> | 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 |
01:34 | <+Dukayn> | that too |
01:34 | <+Dukayn> | GET SOME GET SOME GET SOME |
01:35 | <%afny> | that reminds me |
01:35 | <%afny> | is the Chub Tub still a thing |
01:35 | <+Dukayn> | I have a sudden urge to watch Full Metal Jacket again |
01:35 | <%afny> | with its mounted machine gun |
01:35 | <@Soren> | yep! |
01:35 | <@Soren> | I'm building them for the Special Edition buys, and a command post variant for one of the Custom buyers. |
01:36 | <@Soren> | *buyers |
01:36 | <%afny> | cool |
01:37 | <@randolph> | hey guys |

01:38 | <@Soren> | hey hey |
01:38 | <@randolph> | I see more Overcompensation has been happening |
01:38 | <@randolph> | Soren: think it's possible to convert a grenade launcher to fire those penis guns you made for the frotweiler? |
01:39 | <@Soren> | I don't know if it's possoble but I know it's both noble and excellent to attempt that. |
01:39 | <@Soren> | -o +i |

01:43 | <%afny> | is it so bad it doesn't even make sense? |
01:44 | <%afny> | or was it not related to the cat at all. I mean, you can't just make jokes about irc bots. |

01:52 | <@Soren> | really, ridiculously easy. |
01:53 | <+MittenNinja> | Yeah, I don't need anything detailed. Just even some shots from each angle would be awesome. |
01:56 | <@Soren> | yeah, I can do that. |

03:22 | <+Dukayn[AFK]> | man, Alice in Wonderland is a fucked up movie |
03:22 | < ferrelferret> | I was so busy at Akon, I couldn't meet up with Sage for a game. :( |
03:22 | < ferrelferret> | Tim Burton? I haven't seen that one |
03:22 | <+Dukayn[AFK]> | No the original |
03:22 | <+Dukayn[AFK]> | My daughter's watching it |
03:24 | < ferrelferret> | Haven't seen that in forever. |
03:25 | < ferrelferret> | actualy, It's been so long that I should just say that I haven't seen it. lol |
03:26 | <+Dukayn[AFK]> | hehe |
03:26 | | Dukayn[AFK] is now known as Dukayn |
03:27 | <+Dukayn> | If I'm conversing I shouldn't say I'm AFK I suppose :P |

03:32 | <+Dukayn> | heh nah |
03:32 | <+Dukayn> | I was doing some work so went AFK |
03:32 | <+Dukayn> | then when I was done, no-one was really talking so I didn't change it |
03:33 | < ferrelferret> | interesting. :) So, how's Wednesday going? Any future people tips to get me through my day? |
03:33 | < ferrelferret> | lol |

03:37 | <+Dukayn> | but, it's also Winter here so that doesn't really help you does it :P |
03:37 | < Tetrajak> | I'm in NZ |
03:37 | <+Dukayn> | ah nice |
03:37 | <+Dukayn> | my wife's a Kiwi |
03:37 | < Tetrajak> | 13 degrees Celsius outside, and raining |
03:37 | <+Dukayn> | well, she's Kiwi blood but she's Aussie. |
03:38 | < Tetrajak> | cool, so you don't have any dislike of Kiwi's then :P |
03:38 | < ferrelferret> | yeah, Wednesday here is going to be hot. :| |
03:41 | < XGundam05> | hey, anyone know if the 98-99 remake of Bubblegum Crisis is any good? |
03:41 | < ferrelferret> | what am I saying it's hot now |
03:41 | <+Dukayn> | I had a call with our insurance company the other day and the guy on the phone had SUCH a heavy Kiwi accent |
03:41 | <+Dukayn> | It was hilarious :P |
03:41 | <+Dukayn> | He called me "bro" about 6 times. |
03:41 | < ferrelferret> | 36 C |
03:41 | <+Dukayn> | yeah that's hot |
03:42 | < ferrelferret> | It's almost 10 PM. :| |
03:42 | <+Dukayn> | lol |
03:42 | <+Dukayn> | Where the hell are you, ferrel? |
03:42 | <+Dukayn> | Currently Hobart is 11?C |
03:43 | < ferrelferret> | @Gundam? Checkit on Anime-Planet.com |
03:43 | < ferrelferret> | Dallas, Texas |
03:43 | <+Dukayn> | so... 51.8?F |
03:43 | <+Dukayn> | Cowboys fan? |
03:43 | < ferrelferret> | well, a suburb of Fort Worth, but most people only know Dallas |
03:43 | < XGundam05> | @ferret, thanks, hadn't seen that site before |
03:45 | < ferrelferret> | no, more like 96 F |
03:46 | < ferrelferret> | @gundam I love the site. |
03:46 | <+Dukayn> | ferrelferret: I was saying that's the temp here |
03:47 | < ferrelferret> | and, no, I am not a Cowboys fan. |
03:47 | <+Dukayn> | Oh that's OK then :P |
03:47 | < XGundam05> | Dukayn: not much higher out here (~57 F, Dayton, OH) |
03:47 | < ferrelferret> | I don't like Pro Football |
03:47 | <+Dukayn> | fair enough |
03:47 | <+Dukayn> | I prefer yours to ours |
03:47 | < ferrelferret> | 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 | < Tetrajak> | Correction; Dukayn isn't English |
03:53 | < Tetrajak> | 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 |
03:57 | < ferrelferret> | Have any of you seen Satchquatch Gang? |
03:57 | < ferrelferret> | http://goo.gl/o16Iy |
03:57 | < XGundam05> | My dag name is Cayden Nikaal, a roaming Barbarian |
03:58 | < ferrelferret> | you'd love the intro TJ |
03:58 | < XGundam05> | tanned a couple of deer hides myself for garb |
03:58 | < Tetrajak> | ferret: is it a movie about LARPing? I have yet to find one that doesn't make me cringe myself to death from the social awkwardness (which is my kryptonite) |
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. |
04:00 | < XGundam05> | It and sewing my garb is all I've done, had someone else make my vambraces (need fingers for work on monday >.>) |
04:01 | < XGundam05> | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Wild_Hunt_(film) |
04:01 | < ferrelferret> | I embraced my social akwardness long ago |
04:01 | < XGundam05> | is more of a horror film I think tho |
04:01 | < Tetrajak> | I've got a scale leather chest piece, matching black pauldrons (both of which are spiky), a blue asymmetric pauldron, and blue gauntlets |
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 |

04:21 | <~Noah> | Heya |
04:21 | < XGundam05> | 'lo |
04:21 | < Tetrajak> | Gundam: usually either a single longsword or a pair of longswords |
04:21 | < Tetrajak> | depending on how combat oriented my character is |
04:22 | < XGundam05> | nice, my dag group tends to either sword-n-board or dual-wield (axe + shortsword myself) |
04:22 | < Mantisking> | I guess I walked into the middle of this conversation. |
04:23 | < XGundam05> | discussing the common ground shared between diff forms of larping |
04:24 | < XGundam05> | Tetrajak is more traditional LARP, and I'm a Dag person |
04:24 | < XGundam05> | Correct me if I'm wrong Tetra |
04:24 | < Mantisking> | "dag" |
04:24 | < Mantisking> | ? |
04:24 | < XGundam05> | Dagorhir |
04:24 | <@randolph> | Mantisking: the high school nearby has gourmet food trucks every week |
04:24 | < Tetrajak> | Gundam: you got it right |
04:24 | < XGundam05> | http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fth1GxH255M |
04:25 | < Tetrajak> | Mantisking: it's more combat-oriented than most LARP |
04:25 | < Mantisking> | Randolph - Heh. |
04:25 | < XGundam05> | Wreckreation nation spot 1 of 2 for Dag (vid link above) |
04:25 | < Mantisking> | 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 |

04:29 | < XGundam05> | a lot of min-maxers at dag are switching to that, bandshoppe pole is popular for great weapons as well |
04:30 | <+Dukayn> | 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 | <@Soren> | yw |
04:51 | <~Noah> | http://www.bricklink.com/store.asp?p=LegoFury |
04:51 | <~Noah> | Takes a lot of payment options |
04:51 | <~Noah> | 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 |
04:58 | <@Soren> | Oh, god. Oh, god. |
04:58 | <@Soren> | no. |
04:58 | <@Soren> | never |
04:58 | <@Soren> | please |
04:58 | < XGundam05> | tinfoil? don't you mean steel colored lego? |
04:59 | <+Axhead> | The kool aid is free.... |

06:14 | <~Noah> | Via a 'Roo? |
06:14 | <+Dukayn> | only a teeny one but I'm so happy |
06:14 | <@Ced23Ric> | Heh. |
06:14 | <@Ced23Ric> | THE WHOLE 6 BUCKS, DUKEY? |
06:14 | <@Ced23Ric> | 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 |
06:18 | <@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 | <@Ced23Ric> | So, there. |
06:20 | <@Ced23Ric> | 7 bucks for a package. |
06:20 | <+Dukayn> | 0.19 |
06:20 | <~Noah> | In AUD? |
06:20 | <+Dukayn> | yeah |
06:21 | <~Noah> | 0.185 USD |
06:22 | <~Noah> | Ouch, could've bought from a store cheaper, even after tax |
06:23 | <+Dukayn> | yeah cos most impulse buys at 2am are SO SENSIBLE right? |
06:23 | <+Dukayn> | but fuck it, I HAVE PARTS NOW |

07:17 | <+Dukayn> | she's a Hollywood actress |
07:18 | <@Ced23Ric> | Starring in what? |
07:18 | <@Soren> | geez, you guys, the table's six inches higher all of a sudden. Knock it off. |
07:18 | <@randolph> | hee |
07:18 | <+Dukayn> | plenty http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000171/ |
07:19 | <@Ced23Ric> | Dukey? |
07:19 | <@Ced23Ric> | Wanna roll over and spit your drink over the monitor? |
07:19 | <@randolph> | Oh hey, she was the one I thought was Charlize Theron in Heat |
07:19 | <@Ced23Ric> | Activating: The Great Egress (Yellow E). |
07:19 | <@Ced23Ric> | Range: Artillery. |
07:19 | <@Ced23Ric> | Target: Nightingale Alpha (Green 1)--Target fixation, hoooo! |
07:21 | <+Dukayn> | Charlize wasn't in Heat. |
07:21 | <+Dukayn> | no way |
07:22 | <@randolph> | Right. |
07:22 | <@Ced23Ric> | Dukey. |
07:22 | <@Ced23Ric> | Read. |
07:22 | <@randolph> | hehehe |
07:22 | <+Dukayn> | I am |
07:23 | <@randolph> | I was just saying, I thought Ashley Judd was Charlize Theron when I saw Heat |
07:23 | <+Dukayn> | 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 | <+Dukayn> | 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 | <@randolph> | 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 | <@randolph> | Well, that's the other thing, you guys bitch so much about how reality is desynched I'm afraid to look~ |
07:32 | <+Dukayn> | Schoon just hasn't updated the map yet to take Ced's turn into account. |
07:33 | <~Noah> | Hrm |
07:35 | <@Ced23Ric> | Dukey: I could offer you a glorious way out. |
07:35 | <@Ced23Ric> | You are next in initiative. |
07:35 | <@Ced23Ric> | I can pass to you and let you go to town on Trilly. :D |
07:36 | <+Dukayn> | hahaha you could |
07:36 | | * Ced23Ric reaches out with an olive branch. |
07:37 | <+Dukayn> | I suppose that allows you the freedom to do what you want on your turn :P |
07:38 | <@Ced23Ric> | Well, that would be the trade, yes. |
07:38 | <@randolph> | Don't do it Duk! |
07:38 | <@randolph> | Remember Poland! |
07:38 | <@Ced23Ric> | A staunch Western European Nation. |
07:38 | <@Ced23Ric> | What about it? |
07:39 | <~Noah> | lol |
07:40 | <+Dukayn> | Heh heh |
07:40 | <@Ced23Ric> | I would never betray our pacts, Dukey. |
07:41 | <~Noah> | Careful, he's german |
07:41 | <+Dukayn> | Now now |
07:41 | <+Dukayn> | We don't make jokes about 9/11 |
07:41 | <@Ced23Ric> | We don't? |
07:41 | <+Dukayn> | ok I dont :P |
07:42 | <+Dukayn> | But then I don't have to put up with comparisons to a regime from over half a century ago |
07:42 | <@randolph> | I sincerely apologize if I'm being insensitive beyond a reasonable threshold. |
07:43 | <@Soren> | Ced just likes sticking it in people who aren't equipped to fight back. |
07:43 | <@Ced23Ric> | You better. |
07:43 | <@randolph> | well, am I? |
07:43 | <@randolph> | If not, screw off~ |
07:43 | <@Soren> | I don;t think it goes deeper than that. Or something would rip. |
07:43 | <@Ced23Ric> | :D |
07:43 | <@Ced23Ric> | Nah. I don't have a sore spot for Nazi Germany's history. |
07:44 | <@Ced23Ric> | 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 | <@Ced23Ric> | But as some of those jokes are not just insensitive, but also politcally incorrect to the point of mortal offense ... |
07:44 | <@Ced23Ric> | ... I keep that for myself. |
07:45 | <~Noah> | I saw some article that the German Medical...thingie... apologizing to jews for the experiments and such done to them |
07:45 | <@Ced23Ric> | Also, time for a smoke. |
07:45 | <@Ced23Ric> | Oh, yeah. |
07:45 | <@Ced23Ric> | That's why Germany and Canada are buddies. |
07:45 | <@Ced23Ric> | We apologize 24/7 aswell. |
07:45 | <@Ced23Ric> | "SORRY FOR NOT BEING ENTIRELY DISSOLVED YET, BUT YOU GUYS WANT OUR OPTICS AND CARS. XOXOXO GERMANY." |
07:45 | <@Ced23Ric> | BRB. |
07:49 | <@Soren> | I'll take it over the Japanese approach of just pretending everything is fine now and rewriting history as much as possible. |
07:50 | <~Noah> | Haha |
07:50 | <@Soren> | vastly less icky. |
07:50 | <@randolph> | -_- |
07:50 | <@randolph> | Now you *are* trolling me |
07:50 | <@Soren> | probably. |
07:51 | <@randolph> | hehe |
07:51 | <@randolph> | Well, it's not like England gave back stuff from the occupation either |
07:52 | <@randolph> | Hm. I think we are on a decidedly unpleasant conversation track. |
07:52 | <@Soren> | I'll still take 'morally gray' over 'morally blacker than six feet up Cthulu's asshole.' |
07:52 | <+Dukayn> | http://www.dukayn.net/MFZ/wp/Badger.png |
07:52 | <@randolph> | nifty |
07:53 | <@Soren> | mmm |
07:53 | <@randolph> | Not loving the blue accents though |
07:53 | <@Soren> | yeah, they should probably be more concentrated. |

07:53 | <@randolph> | Oh, wait, that wasn't yelling, my bad |
07:54 | <@Soren> | Yeah, he's taken enough blame today, it's time for it to be your fault. |

09:46 | < Ceddobear> | The poor guy. |
09:46 | < afny> | I also removed the giant top hat from hisback |
09:46 | < afny> | it looked cool but you really couldn't see it from most angles, |
09:47 | < afny> | and he balances a bit better now |
09:47 | < Ceddobear> | I was gonna ask. |
09:47 | < afny> | he actually did fine before |
09:47 | < Ceddobear> | Very well then. |
09:47 | < afny> | part of that is the travis in the legs |
09:47 | < afny> | a |
09:47 | < Ceddobear> | I accept your new rifle. |

09:47 | < afny> | oh I removed the butt as well |
09:47 | < Ceddobear> | Yeah, I know. |
09:47 | < Ceddobear> | NO BUTT. |
09:47 | < afny> | it looked alright, but without it he can sling the rifle over his radio pack |

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 | <@Ced23Ric> | Do it. |
10:18 | <%afny> | I did it. |
10:18 | <%afny> | (donkey penis) |
10:19 | <@Ced23Ric> | I almost fell asleep. |
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. |
10:20 | <@Ced23Ric> | MOST EXCITING THING THAT HAPPENED TODAY. |

11:44 | <%afny> | I just saw it on the flikr |
11:44 | <%afny> | I really like the way they did the fire though |
11:44 | <%afny> | I knew you could attach them but I didn't know you could change the angle like that |
11:46 | < Ceddobear> | Oh. |
11:46 | < Ceddobear> | So sad. :( |
11:46 | < Ceddobear> | YAY |
11:46 | < Ceddobear> | I can almost go home. |
11:46 | < Ceddobear> | I'll fall asleep in the train fo sho. |

11:47 | <%afny> | train naps are the best |
11:47 | < Ceddobear> | 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. |

16:55 | < MittenNinja> | awesome! |
16:56 | <%afny> | thanks. The photos are still washed out even with 6 lights...I think I can finally conclude my camera just sucks. |
16:56 | < MittenNinja> | i especially dig the shoulder zooka and the camoed sniper |
16:57 | <@McMartin> | The ST-02 "Continental Breakfast"? |
16:57 | < MittenNinja> | yessir |
16:57 | <%afny> | I debated calling it the "Free Breakfast" or the "Colonial Breakfast" |
16:58 | <%afny> | but they just didn't have the same ring. |
16:58 | <@McMartin> | Is there a joke here I'm not getting? |
16:58 | <%afny> | Uh...not really |
16:58 | <%afny> | I mean a Continental Breakfast is like a shitty breakfast they serve at hotels |
16:58 | <%afny> | It's not really a joke, though |
16:58 | | Ceddobear [Ced@Nightstar-120459f2.adsl.alicedsl.de] has joined #mf0 |
16:58 | <@McMartin> | afny: Yeah, I was wondering if there was some kind of bagel-related joke in the frame |
16:59 | <%afny> | I mean the frame itself is kind of a joke |
16:59 | <@McMartin> | He looks right at home with the Remainder Rangers |
16:59 | <%afny> | they don't do MATH, do they |
17:00 | <@McMartin> | No, they're made out of Whatever's Left from your set. |
17:00 | <@McMartin> | Usually wildly inappropriate bits like hubcaps and bumpers and frying pans. |

17:02 | <@Ced23Ric> | The 404's. |
17:03 | <%afny> | somehow I don't think the reference would translate to the Solar Calender |
17:03 | <@Ced23Ric> | Well, you have 303's. |
17:03 | <@Ced23Ric> | STEP IT UP A NOTCH. |
17:04 | <%afny> | I think one of Soren's mgns is something crazy |
17:04 | <%afny> | like in the 900's |
17:05 | <%afny> | I think I'm going to put these in the mfz flickr even though there's a rule about only one pic per build |
17:05 | <%afny> | technically I built new diorama bits for these, so...loophole! |
17:05 | <@Ced23Ric> | Oh, there is a rule like that? |
17:06 | <%afny> | It's not an ENFORCED rule, but yeah |
17:06 | <@Ced23Ric> | The more you know. |
17:06 | <%afny> | I didn't know about it and SPAMMED every image I uploaded, but when I read it I went back and deleted some |

17:06 | <%afny> | Pshaw. MANNERS. |
17:06 | <@Ced23Ric> | Heya sleepypants. |
17:06 | <%afny> | o/ |
17:07 | <@Soren> | As one of (last I checked) three people who have the power to enforce that rule, I can confidently say nobody gives a fuck, do whatever. |
17:07 | <%afny> | I generally do |
17:07 | <@Ced23Ric> | Hey, could the MgM mount a 1x2 surface upright or horizontal on it's back? |
17:07 | <%afny> | especially on the INTERNET. |
17:07 | <%afny> | uhh the mgn's head/back section is very vague |
17:08 | <%afny> | so you can pretty much do whatever and still call it an mgn |
17:08 | <@Ced23Ric> | Wicked. |
17:08 | <@Ced23Ric> | I am debating on building 4. |
17:08 | <@Ced23Ric> | For my FC/Mercs. |
17:08 | <@Ced23Ric> | Tell me, Kev, what do I need? |
17:08 | <%afny> | 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 | <%afny> | then just jumpers and those 2x2 joint bits for the arms |
17:10 | <@Ced23Ric> | Alright. Got an exploded view? |
17:10 | <@Ced23Ric> | Or the bare 'frame? |
17:10 | <%afny> | uhh malcolm posted one for the 302 and one for the |
17:10 | <%afny> | 303 or 309 |
17:10 | <%afny> | let me find it |
17:10 | <@Ced23Ric> | Care to gimme the link? Thanks! |
17:10 | <@Ced23Ric> | Soren: dark grey tiles arrived. |
17:10 | <@Soren> | yay |
17:11 | <@Ced23Ric> | Also, these Brits sure have it figured out. |
17:11 | <@Soren> | mm> |
17:11 | <@Soren> | *? |
17:11 | <@Ced23Ric> | They took one of those "endless" baggies, put parts in, melted the section shut, put the next ones in, melted, etc. |
17:12 | <@Ced23Ric> | It's one strip with 11 compartments. |
17:12 | <@Ced23Ric> | Very neat. |
17:12 | <%afny> | http://www.flickr.com/photos/jed_september/5693490016/in/photostream |
17:12 | <%afny> | and the nearby ones |
17:12 | <@Ced23Ric> | For reasons that are beyond me, they are sorted by colour, so I have a black -> purple all the way to light blue rainbow, over pink and blue. :D |
17:13 | <@Ced23Ric> | Afny: What do you recommend, cones or 1x1 plates with open stud? |
17:13 | <%afny> | for the shins? |
17:13 | | MittenNinja [NSwebIRC@Nightstar-e9df5d72.co.comcast.net] has quit [Ping timeout: 121 seconds] |
17:13 | <@Ced23Ric> | 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. |

17:18 | <@Ced23Ric> | At all. |
17:18 | <@Ced23Ric> | Not a single one. |
17:18 | <@Ced23Ric> | D: |
17:18 | <%afny> | :C |
17:18 | <%afny> | why |
17:18 | <@Ced23Ric> | 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> | The store with the lowest price ... |
17:22 | <@Ced23Ric> | ... I just ordered from. |
17:22 | <%afny> | BALLS AGAIN. |
17:25 | <@Ced23Ric> | http://www.bricklink.com/PL/bb487pb01.jpg?1 |
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 | <@Ced23Ric> | 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> | :d |
17:39 | <@Ced23Ric> | Very good. This has future. |
17:39 | <@Ced23Ric> | Well, the kid don't. |
17:39 | <@Ced23Ric> | But the campaign. |
17:40 | <%afny> | I'm not so sure. |
17:40 | <%afny> | I don't think this kind of traction indicates much. |
17:40 | <@Ced23Ric> | You need to start somewhere. |
17:40 | <@Ced23Ric> | Sometimes, it's just an IRC room. |
17:56 | <@Ced23Ric> | Oooh, me rikey. |
17:56 | <@Ced23Ric> | Trying out new designs is fun. |
17:56 | <@Ced23Ric> | Gives you new angles on how to use parts. |
17:57 | <@Ced23Ric> | I'mma build 2x A Y Y G, 1x DF Y Y B, and 1x DF DF Y B. |
17:58 | <@Ced23Ric> | Those will go with 2x DF Y B G and 2x DF DF Y B. |

18:00 | <%afny> | On account of WAT |
18:01 | <@Ced23Ric> | Waiting for Wingman #3 to reach combat readiness. |
18:01 | <%afny> | ah, I see |
18:01 | <@Ced23Ric> | Hey, what'chu use for the feet? |
18:01 | <@Ced23Ric> | Those Jumpers look instable. |
18:02 | <%afny> | Uhh I use those 1x2 plates with ratchet hinge |
18:02 | <%afny> | female |
18:02 | <%afny> | except on one I used the older shuttle arm style joint |
18:02 | <%afny> | works just as well |
18:04 | <%afny> | okay |
18:04 | <%afny> | I'm going to take these shovels |
18:04 | <%afny> | and turn them into LEGITIMATE MELEE WEAPONS |
18:09 | <@Ced23Ric> | Hey Kev. |
18:10 | <@Ced23Ric> | Chub head or inverted Chub head? |
18:10 | | * Ced23Ric has 2x2 round tiles. |
18:10 | <%afny> | are they black? |
18:10 | <@Ced23Ric> | Tan. |
18:11 | <~Noah> | Sand green |
18:11 | <%afny> | hm, it has potential but I really like the organic feel you get with the normal chub head |
18:11 | <%afny> | it compliments the angular center nicely |
18:11 | <@Ced23Ric> | Alright. |

18:23 | < CalaveraJoe> | Alo |
18:24 | <~Noah> | Yo |
18:25 | <%afny> | o/ |
18:27 | < CalaveraJoe> | 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 |
18:40 | < CalaveraJoe> | yeah |
18:40 | < CalaveraJoe> | corner of a building in rubble, etc |
18:52 | | Ced|OnAMission is now known as Ced23Ric |
18:53 | <@Ced23Ric> | MISSION ACCOMPLISHED. |
18:53 | < CalaveraJoe> | Mew? |
18:53 | <@Ced23Ric> | CJ: PayPoo me cash, I grab masonry bricks for ya. |
18:53 | <@Ced23Ric> | US$0.20 a pop. |
18:53 | <%afny> | do you mean .02 |
18:54 | <@Ced23Ric> | No, I don't. |
18:54 | < CalaveraJoe> | I think the wife would slap me silly for dropping $80 on bricks |
18:54 | <@Ced23Ric> | 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 | <%afny> | have to restart |
18:58 | <@Ced23Ric> | Gotcha. |

19:04 | < CalaveraJoe> | Guh I hate how BL sorts searches for parts when you just want it to list all colors |
19:05 | < kevinvankirk> | that website has an ASTONISHINGLY bad interface |
19:05 | | kevinvankirk is now known as afny |
19:05 | < CalaveraJoe> | *nod* |
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> | THEY DON'T BECOME BEEFY. D: |
19:09 | < CalaveraJoe> | Huh? |
19:09 | <~Noah> | This page: http://www.bricklink.com/searchAdvanced.asp? |
19:10 | < CalaveraJoe> | No, my huh was at Ced |
19:10 | <@Ced23Ric> | Afny. Help me. |
19:10 | < afny> | 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 | < afny> | so if you want beef you have to greeble |
19:12 | < CalaveraJoe> | Which frame? |
19:12 | < afny> | the MgN-3xx |
19:12 | < CalaveraJoe> | Linky? |
19:12 | | * CalaveraJoe is feeling VERY lazy |
19:13 | < afny> | instead of doing the good think and linking you to the original designer's flikr |
19:13 | < afny> | I'll link you to MY set of MgNs |
19:13 | < afny> | HAHAHA |
19:13 | < CalaveraJoe> | That's fine |
19:13 | < afny> | http://www.flickr.com/photos/kyanosmoros/sets/72157630004289223/with/7160106537/ |
19:13 | <~Noah> | CalaveraJoe: http://www.bricklink.com/searchAdvanced.asp lets you search by brick, min-max quantity and price |
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 |
19:23 | | MittenNinja [NSwebIRC@Nightstar-e9df5d72.co.comcast.net] has joined #mf0 |
19:23 | < CalaveraJoe> | It's like.. really? Are ya nuts? |
19:24 | < afny> | 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 | < afny> | was not a good idea |
19:29 | < CalaveraJoe> | lol |
19:29 | < afny> | now this surface, just like every OTHER flat surface |
19:29 | < afny> | is covered in lego. |
19:32 | < CalaveraJoe> | 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> | *twitch* |
20:01 | < MittenNinja> | Alright, I need some opinions |

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 |

20:10 | < MittenNinja> | note: the back isnt finished |
20:10 | < CalaveraJoe> | Yeah... head feels tiny |
20:10 | < CalaveraJoe> | Not extremely so, just... not quite right |
20:12 | < MittenNinja> | gotcha |
20:12 | < MittenNinja> | 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 |
20:29 | < CalaveraJoe> | later folks |

21:05 | <@Ced23Ric> | I tore down all Gadians. |
21:05 | <@Ced23Ric> | And the Archer and the K CHubs. |
21:06 | <@randolph> | Ahh |
21:06 | <@Ced23Ric> | Then I built 4 Gadian v2 and 4 MgN. |
21:06 | <@randolph> | I might try to cobble something new together... I haven't bricked anything in awhile |
21:07 | <@randolph> | Maybe come up with a companion frame for the Phantom |
21:07 | <+afny> | lemme see your MgNs |

22:15 | <@Ced23Ric> | Yes. Yes you do. |
22:15 | <@Soren> | Fuck off and let me sleep. There. Done. |
22:15 | <@Ced23Ric> | It's unilateral need though. |
22:16 | <@Soren> | okay, hit me with it. |
22:16 | <@Ced23Ric> | Quit your bitchin'. |
22:16 | <@Ced23Ric> | Here goes. |
22:16 | <@Ced23Ric> | I have these MgNs. |
22:16 | <@Ced23Ric> | Shoulders, legs, torso, head all done. |
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. |
22:19 | <@Ced23Ric> | *smirk* |
22:19 | <@Ced23Ric> | Next month. |
22:19 | <@Ced23Ric> | Budget is stretched beyond limitations already. |
22:20 | <@Soren> | aha |
22:20 | <+afny> | I put two of those giant hands on one of these mgns |
22:20 | <@Ced23Ric> | 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. |

22:50 | <@Ced23Ric> | Nothing you need to worry about. :D |
22:50 | <+MittenNinja> | i find it incredibly interesting how it's so much more expensive to send things out of the US then it is to send things to the US |
22:50 | <@Ced23Ric> | Dude, if I send you a bubble mailer with a handful of parts (I mean, a fist full.), it's 1.45 Euros. |
22:51 | <+MittenNinja> | The only option the post office gave me that didn't cost $50 was $13 and they said it could take up to a month to get there |

22:51 | <@Ced23Ric> | You paid 13 bucks to ship that? |

22:53 | <@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 | <@Ced23Ric> | We have up to 500 grams (17 ounces) as a maxi-letter. |

23:16 | <+Tetrajak> | Heya peeps |
23:16 | <+Tetrajak> | *crickets* |
23:17 | < ferrelferret> | Hi |
23:17 | <+Tetrajak> | heya ferret |
23:17 | < ferrelferret> | sorry, busy counting money |
23:17 | < ferrelferret> | ;) |
23:17 | < ferrelferret> | 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 |
23:20 | <@Ced23Ric> | Heya TJ. |

23:21 | <@Ced23Ric> | 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 |
23:22 | <@Ced23Ric> | ... 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 | <~Noah> | 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 |

23:28 | <+Tetrajak> | *hordes his hinge plates to himself* |

23:33 | <@Ced23Ric> | 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 |
