00:09 | <@Ceddobear> | The pilot does. :D |
00:09 | <~Noah> | two opitic sensors |
00:09 | <~Noah> | optic* frak |
00:10 | <@Ceddobear> | Who cares about details like that when you have a Chub looking through binocs? |
00:10 | | * Noah flips the table |
00:10 | <%afny> | I like the yellow |
00:10 | <%afny> | do you have multiple numberS? |
00:10 | <%afny> | I only ever find "4" |
00:10 | <@Ceddobear> | Yupp, 1, 2 and 3. |
00:10 | <@Ceddobear> | Each Arty gets one. |
00:13 | <%afny> | got a quick picture of Soren's yurt design in my tribe colors |

00:26 | <%afny> | having trouble with my pc |
00:26 | <%afny> | and was using this monitor |
00:26 | <@Ceddobear> | http://www.ced23ric.de/stuff/mf0/carmichaels_radio.png |
00:27 | <%afny> | haah giant walkie talkie |
00:27 | <@Ceddobear> | :D |
00:28 | <@Ceddobear> | I really need a fucking lightbox and a stand. :/ |
00:30 | <~Noah> | I linked some portable tent kits yesterday |
00:30 | | * Ceddobear is not in the US. |
00:30 | <~Noah> | amazon.de? |
00:30 | <@Ceddobear> | But I am sure I can find some in the EU, too. |
00:32 | <%afny> | http://www.flickr.com/photos/kyanosmoros/7167640227/in/photostream |
00:32 | <@Ceddobear> | That is precious. |
00:32 | <%afny> | the yellow canisters are the actual "station", the rest is terrain |
00:33 | <@Soren> | very nice! |
00:33 | <@Ceddobear> | I'd fight over it. |
00:33 | <@Soren> | I rebuilt mine in Moon Fang colors and added some bits and a pieces. |
00:34 | < MittenNinja> | That's an awesome yurt |
00:34 | <@Soren> | -a |
00:34 | <%afny> | I'm not sure if I have enough bits to make another, but I may eventually accumulate them |
00:34 | < MittenNinja> | Hey Soren. I'm picking up the beers and then ill be on my way over |
00:34 | <@Soren> | they're all pretty cheap parts. |
00:34 | <@Soren> | right on. |
00:34 | <%afny> | yeah def |
00:34 | <%afny> | mostly it's just a pain to find more axleholders |
00:34 | <%afny> | since I did my interior a different way |
00:34 | <@Soren> | yeah |
00:34 | <%afny> | and I'm not sure I have another 6 big inverted slopes in the same color |
00:35 | <%afny> | except for red, but ew red. |
00:35 | <@Soren> | you can flip the whole thing over and use the non-inverted version. |
00:35 | <%afny> | I have even less of those |
00:35 | <@Soren> | That's what I did. |
00:35 | <@Soren> | sadness. |
00:36 | <%afny> | I'm going to use this hex base for another station |
00:36 | <%afny> | with the like |
00:36 | <%afny> | I don't know what they are, but |
00:36 | <%afny> | ...they're inverted like these slopes, and they have an angle to them |
00:36 | <%afny> | they're 4x |
00:36 | <%afny> | across |
00:36 | <%afny> | anyway I'm going to make a silo |
00:37 | <@Soren> | sounds like a plan. |
00:37 | <@Soren> | I came up with that hex design in... 2004, I think? |
00:37 | <%afny> | it's so useful |
00:37 | <@Soren> | used it for a few things, but never explored it as much as I shoulda. |
00:37 | <%afny> | I've just started to read about advanced techniques and look closely at what other people do |
00:37 | <%afny> | dat SNOT |
00:38 | <@Soren> | You should join the 'LEGO Techniques' group. |
00:38 | <@Soren> | There's a lot of great stuff in there. |
00:38 | <@Soren> | often very esoteric. |

00:39 | <%afny> | jesus |
00:40 | <@Ceddobear> | Holy shit, it's magic. |
00:40 | <%afny> | there is some very crazy stuff just on the first page |
00:41 | <%afny> | oh god, they make an INVERTED 2x2 tile? |
00:46 | < MittenNinja> | Welp that liquor store was.out of 1554 time to try the one across the street |
00:50 | <~Noah> | Lego does? |
00:50 | <%afny> | yeah, it's in a ninjago set I guess |
00:50 | <~Noah> | I have a 2x2 megablok tile that has 8 studs |
00:51 | <~Noah> | s/tile/plate |
00:51 | <%afny> | it's not reverse as in 2way, it's just a tile with studs on the back |

00:57 | <~Noah> | Hey King |
00:58 | < Mantisking> | Hey. |
00:59 | <@Ceddobear> | Alright. |
00:59 | <@Ceddobear> | Chubs done. |
00:59 | <@Ceddobear> | Took long enough. |
00:59 | < MittenNinja> | Be there in about 25 Soren. |
01:00 | < Mantisking> | How's everyone doing today? |
01:02 | <@Ceddobear> | Pretty swell. |
01:02 | <@Ceddobear> | It's 2am and I am looking at the daunting task of building 4 Serpents. |
01:02 | <@Ceddobear> | Finished 8 Ijads today, and retrofitted 8 Chubs with prime articulation. |
01:03 | <@Ceddobear> | My fingers hurt. |
01:03 | <@Ceddobear> | My neck's a mess. |
01:03 | <@Ceddobear> | But this stuff looks great. :D |
01:03 | < Mantisking> | Man, people are going crazy with the building lately. |
01:03 | <%afny> | it's the weather |
01:03 | <%afny> | It's all nice outside, so we go into our basements and play with plastic all day. |
01:04 | <@Ceddobear> | Kev, I made some firing effects for you. |
01:05 | <@Ceddobear> | One of the arty Chubs is firing a volley of rockets. :D |
01:05 | <%afny> | woo |
01:05 | <@Ceddobear> | I gotta clean this mess up first. |
01:05 | <@Ceddobear> | But then, I'll take some BETTER pictures. |
01:05 | <@Ceddobear> | Prolly gonna use the bathroom. |
01:06 | <@Ceddobear> | Oh, Kev? |
01:06 | <%afny> | hur |
01:06 | <@Ceddobear> | Do you want some travis bricks? |
01:06 | <%afny> | hur. |
01:06 | <@Ceddobear> | Like, 30 of 'em? |
01:06 | <%afny> | that's...a lot of travis |
01:06 | <%afny> | a |
01:06 | <%afny> | re these the ones you acquired "accidentally"? |
01:07 | <@Ceddobear> | Sorta kinda ish maybe. |
01:07 | <~Noah> | I do |
01:07 | <~Noah> | gimme |
01:07 | <%afny> | my answer is a resounding yes, I always want travis, but it seems like you should keep them/some in case you decide to do something else |
01:07 | <@Ceddobear> | They are all light grey and light bley. |
01:07 | <~Noah> | I answered first~ |
01:07 | <@Ceddobear> | And I am never gonna use them. |
01:08 | <%afny> | ooh, I've only ever had black |
01:08 | <%afny> | and one brown |
01:08 | <@Ceddobear> | They are ... backup Travis bricks. |
01:08 | <%afny> | and one GREEN for some reason |
01:08 | <@Ceddobear> | I only use white, black and dark grey anyway. |
01:08 | <@Ceddobear> | I have no use for light grey ones. |
01:08 | <~Noah> | I do gimme |
01:08 | <%afny> | well if you send them to me I'm promptly making POLICE MGNS WITH MISSILE LAUNCHERS |
01:08 | <%afny> | and slopeheads |
01:08 | <%afny> | which is not a racist term |
01:09 | <@Ceddobear> | Okay, proposition. |
01:09 | <@Ceddobear> | Noah, Kev. You get 16 each. |
01:09 | <%afny> | that makes a lot of mgns |
01:09 | <~Noah> | Coo |
01:09 | <@Ceddobear> | Plus 8 headlight bricks each. |
01:09 | <~Noah> | With slot? |
01:10 | <@Ceddobear> | Without. |
01:10 | <%afny> | most stores I've found don't really differentiate |
01:10 | <~Noah> | Give those to Kev |
01:10 | <@Ceddobear> | Actually, some with, some without. |
01:11 | <~Noah> | Oh, well, afny, do you care which you get? |
01:11 | <%afny> | see, they don't care unless you specifically request w/ slot or without |
01:11 | <%afny> | not really, no |
01:11 | <%afny> | i've never had either kind break |
01:11 | <~Noah> | If you don't mind, can I have the ones with slot? |
01:11 | <%afny> | nope |
01:11 | <~Noah> | coo |
01:11 | <%afny> | why do you want slots so bad |
01:12 | <%afny> | just because of the INTEGRITY? |
01:12 | <@Ceddobear> | No prob. |
01:12 | <~Noah> | Yea, and so I don't feel obessively compelled to sort them separately |
01:12 | <@Ceddobear> | It's actually a perfect split. |
01:12 | <@Ceddobear> | 16 + 8 in light grey. |
01:13 | <@Ceddobear> | 16 + 8 in light bley. |
01:13 | <@Ceddobear> | I throw in 6 2 stud bricks each. |
01:13 | <%afny> | ohhh |
01:13 | <%afny> | I only have ONE of those |
01:13 | <@Ceddobear> | You need those? |
01:13 | <%afny> | and it's in the Continental Breakfast's sniper |
01:13 | <@Ceddobear> | Okay, you get an extra 3 on top. ^^ |
01:13 | <@Ceddobear> | Noah gets 1 stud bricks, 3, on top. |
01:14 | <@Ceddobear> | Kev gets a light grey motor. |
01:14 | <%afny> | DOES NOAH GET A BUTT |
01:14 | <~Noah> | NARF |
01:14 | <@Ceddobear> | I don't have a single butt. :D |
01:14 | <%afny> | Alright, I'll put my own light grey butt in it. |
01:14 | <%afny> | BECAUSE I CAN. |
01:15 | <%afny> | Actually, even in my frames that use motors and butts |
01:15 | <%afny> | the motors and butts don't connect directly |
01:15 | <@Ceddobear> | Kev also gets a 1x2 technic brick. |
01:15 | <@Ceddobear> | NOAH GETS A CLAW. |
01:15 | <%afny> | These aren't...the remains of the Couatl's, are they.. |
01:15 | <%afny> | that would be very sad. |
01:15 | <@Ceddobear> | Nah. |
01:15 | <~Noah> | haha |
01:15 | <@Ceddobear> | Those are really just back up parts. |
01:15 | <%afny> | -' |
01:16 | <@Ceddobear> | I realized I have like 50 more Travis bricks coming in. |
01:16 | <@Ceddobear> | Accidentially. |
01:16 | <%afny> | ACCIDENTALLY. |
01:16 | <@Ceddobear> | IT SORTA KINDA ISH MAYBE HAPPENED. |
01:17 | <@Ceddobear> | Kev, Noah, do you need T piecesss |
01:17 | <%afny> | pneumatics? |
01:17 | <@Ceddobear> | Yeah. |
01:17 | <%afny> | uhh I could use a couple but I have a bit left |
01:17 | <%afny> | I only used them in mgn feet |
01:17 | <~Noah> | I could use more |
01:17 | <@Ceddobear> | Well, you are building MgNs, right? |
01:17 | <@Ceddobear> | I throw 8 in, each. |
01:17 | <%afny> | yeah |
01:17 | <%afny> | woo |
01:18 | <@Ceddobear> | Clip tiles / clip plates? |
01:18 | <%afny> | oh god clip tiles. |
01:18 | <%afny> | I have zero clip tiles |
01:18 | <%afny> | a |
01:18 | <@Ceddobear> | I think I have a hundred in light bley. |
01:18 | <%afny> | nd there are at least 6 in everything |
01:18 | <%afny> | EVEN GUNS |
01:18 | <@Ceddobear> | Okay, I'll give ya ... 24. |
01:19 | <~Noah> | I could use clip plates, don't need tiles |
01:19 | <@Ceddobear> | Noah gets plates, then. |
01:19 | <%afny> | I'm pretty set on clip plates actually |
01:19 | <%afny> | I found an UNUSED baggy of 20 from BL |
01:19 | <%afny> | that I just didn't use |
01:19 | <%afny> | well I guess that's implied by the word UNUSED in all caps. |
01:19 | <%afny> | hm |
01:19 | <%afny> | I think I'll make this cop company |
01:19 | <%afny> | underbidding melee defense |
01:19 | <~Noah> | Wait...you didn't use them? |
01:20 | <%afny> | I used a ton of them, but I had a lot in my collection, mostly black and old light grey |
01:20 | <@Ceddobear> | Afny: 2 Captains, 3 slashers, 3 big slashers. :D |
01:20 | <@Soren> | https://secure.flickr.com/photos/brickartisan/7190325398/in/pool-788191@N24 |
01:20 | <%afny> | I didn't use the 20 I bought from BL |
01:20 | <%afny> | yeah dude, I was gawking at that |
01:20 | <@Ceddobear> | Oh, I will torment you guys. |
01:21 | <@Ceddobear> | With ONE BAGGY FOR ALL ITEMS. |
01:21 | <%afny> | You don't have a british hot plastic auto-sealer? |
01:21 | <%afny> | YOU'RE ONLY GETTING A NEUTRAL REVIEW. |

01:21 | <@Ceddobear> | WELL FUCK. |
01:22 | <~Noah> | I figured he'd incase them in soap, like a toy |
01:22 | <%afny> | what. |
01:22 | <%afny> | I've never found a toy in soap. |
01:22 | <~Noah> | What? You suck |
01:22 | <%afny> | ?? Is this a thing? |
01:22 | <~Noah> | That's how you get stinky kids clean |
01:22 | <%afny> | Who even USES bar soap? |
01:22 | <~Noah> | yea brah |
01:23 | <%afny> | Bar soap is the worst. |
01:23 | <~Noah> | http://www.soapvision.com/ |
01:23 | <~Noah> | You can find them at walmart often too |
01:23 | <~Noah> | And people often do it themselves: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j99SbyvFWYw |
01:23 | <~Noah> | Totally a thing. |
01:23 | <%afny> | Well if I got soap from Cedric |
01:24 | <%afny> | I'd just assume it was manufactured with human fat |
01:24 | <%afny> | like in Fight Club |
01:24 | <%afny> | and I'm not sure how I'd feel about htat. |
01:24 | <%afny> | that* |
01:24 | <@Ceddobear> | Your assumption would be correct. |
01:25 | <@Ceddobear> | Kev, Noah. PM me your addresses on the forum. |
01:25 | <%afny> | I assume you sell it at vintage GDR shopes as "Anti-fascist odor remover and sanitizer" |
01:25 | <@Ceddobear> | Shipping these mailers out tomorrow. |
01:26 | <%afny> | or maybe something a little more catchy, like "Fuck Germs, SOAP." |
01:28 | <@Ceddobear> | Kev, halfpins? |
01:28 | <%afny> | do want |
01:29 | <%afny> | used the last of mine in the ramiel's jets |
01:29 | <@Ceddobear> | Throwing some in. |
01:29 | <%afny> | oh, wait, not true |
01:29 | <%afny> | used the last of them in those bits |
01:29 | <%afny> | that I stole from Soren |
01:29 | <@Ceddobear> | 10 of 'em. |
01:29 | <%afny> | oo |
01:29 | <%afny> | that's enough for a conscript and guns for the captans |
01:29 | <%afny> | +i |
01:30 | <@Ceddobear> | In that case, I add another 4. |
01:30 | <%afny> | well the other guys don't use guns, it's probably enough for all of them |
01:30 | <%afny> | But I'm thinking shock batons |
01:31 | <@Ceddobear> | Okay, that emptied a whole sorting tray box. |
01:31 | <@Ceddobear> | GREAT SUCCESS. |

01:33 | <@Ceddobear> | It's pretty clever. |
01:33 | <%afny> | it's certainly highly intelligent |

01:34 | <~Noah> | Ceddobear: Sent. |
01:34 | < Mantisking> | I was thinking of posting a topic on the Hangar to discuss/organize something. |
01:34 | <%afny> | Soren sort of made a good point in that regard |
01:35 | <%afny> | that maybe stuff like that should just kind of be private and happen on the side |

01:35 | <@randolph> | Soren should post them |

01:35 | <~Noah> | Yea, I have like 3 |

01:41 | <@randolph> | I have... 1 |
01:41 | <%afny> | you can use 1x2 hinges |
01:41 | <%afny> | if you have those |
01:41 | <@randolph> | no :| |
01:41 | <@randolph> | brackets should work, but I have 3 of those |
01:41 | <%afny> | oh, you mean the hinge plates? |
01:41 | <%afny> | not the bricks |
01:41 | <%afny> | ? |
01:41 | <~Noah> | Once I have actual internet, I plan on getting the bot running on the desktop and logging from there |
01:41 | <@randolph> | I mean the 90 degree connection from the panel to the plate |
01:41 | <@randolph> | wall panel to floor |
01:42 | <%afny> | yeah, I can't think of a compact way to do that as well |
01:42 | <@randolph> | You know, without the roof dish, this would also make an amazing emitter array or energy collector |
01:42 | <%afny> | tile clips and a 1x2 plate with bar would be ALRIGHT |
01:42 | <@randolph> | I'm trying to come up with some company-specific stations |
01:42 | <%afny> | yeah, same |
01:42 | <%afny> | thus the yurt |
01:43 | <~Noah> | Or hydro-collector |
01:43 | <@randolph> | Yeah, which is cool |
01:43 | <~Noah> | narf |
01:43 | <@randolph> | Noah: MOISTURE FARMER |
01:43 | <@randolph> | Have you seen George Lucas in Love? |
01:43 | <@randolph> | It's amazing |
01:43 | <@randolph> | Old, but amazing |
01:43 | <%afny> | I'm trying to come up with another company specific station now, but failing |
01:44 | <%afny> | ...a car, a weapons depot, a fuel cell |
01:44 | <%afny> | all my ideas for it are so boring |
01:45 | <~Noah> | Peach farm |
01:45 | <@randolph> | Depends on attack or defense |
01:45 | <%afny> | Damn your peaches |
01:45 | <@randolph> | For defenders, 3 yurts makes sense |
01:45 | <@randolph> | It's your house / civilian population / hidden weapons program / whatever |
01:45 | <%afny> | the yurt is for my ijad company though |
01:45 | <~Noah> | Peach orchards make since too |
01:45 | <~Noah> | sense* |
01:45 | <%afny> | I need one for my FC company |
01:45 | <@randolph> | For attackers: dropships, satellite uplink, fuel trucks |
01:45 | <@randolph> | supply convoy |
01:46 | <~Noah> | BRAIN SLUGS LOVE PEACHES |
01:46 | <%afny> | that's genric |
01:46 | <%afny> | generic* |
01:46 | <%afny> | I might make one, but anyone would fight over a supply convoy |
01:46 | <@randolph> | Right |
01:46 | <@randolph> | That's why it's good |
01:46 | <%afny> | I want something that I lay down every time I field the company |
01:46 | <@randolph> | If you want it FC specific, make it FC supply convoy |
01:46 | <@randolph> | do it in their colors |
01:46 | <%afny> | do they even have colors |
01:46 | <~Noah> | I wonder if stations will ever give bonuses |
01:46 | <%afny> | is orange their color |
01:46 | <%afny> | I don't have any orange. |
01:46 | <~Noah> | Like rerolling a die once a turn, etc |
01:46 | <@randolph> | They have colors |
01:47 | <%afny> | Noah: stations already have a bonus |
01:47 | <@randolph> | Noah: i wrote up houserules in rules forum |
01:47 | <@randolph> | Where stations have a battlefield presence |
01:47 | <%afny> | you can forgo damage and move one ruler (or is it direct fire distance) away from the station |
01:47 | <~Noah> | Oh, well, I always forget to go by the rules forum |
01:47 | <@randolph> | afny: What I mean is |
01:47 | <@randolph> | FC is kinda hodgepodge |
01:48 | <~Noah> | Some kids respond to the airplane spoon |
01:48 | <~Noah> | My son likes the technodancing sppon |
01:48 | <~Noah> | spoon*! |
01:48 | < Mantisking> | I've been working on company specific stations for a while. |
01:49 | <@randolph> | so if UMFL supply convoy is painted military camo |
01:49 | <@randolph> | then FC supply convo is like repurposed civvie vehicles |
01:49 | <%afny> | yeah, but again, everyone would fight over that |
01:49 | <%afny> | like I'm not saying it's a bad station idea, I just don't think it's what I want for my single company specific station for an FC company |
01:49 | <%afny> | it's not striking enough |
01:50 | <@randolph> | Hm. |
01:50 | <@randolph> | Why is "everyone would fight over this" a bad thing? |
01:50 | <@randolph> | Everyone DOES fight over stations |
01:50 | <@randolph> | that's what they're for |
01:50 | <@Ceddobear> | Hrm. |
01:50 | <@Ceddobear> | I am a weird person. I think. |
01:51 | <@randolph> | Yes, but why now? |
01:51 | <%afny> | yeah, but again, I want one station I put on the table for each of my companies to have a SPECIFIC meaning to them |
01:51 | <~Noah> | Yea, Ced wants certain stations |
01:51 | <%afny> | A WEIRD PERSON you say |
01:51 | <@Ceddobear> | I just went to the bathroom to take a leak. Did that. And decided to do some laundry. It's 3am in the morning. |
01:51 | <~Noah> | Like, a station that is a pornozine stand, Ced would be on that like stink on a polecat |
01:51 | <%afny> | ...does that mean you're committed to staying awake until...5 am |
01:51 | <%afny> | for a full dry cycle |
01:51 | <@Ceddobear> | So I just put the undies of my roomies and I on the "thing you put clothes to dry on majigger", and put in another load. |
01:52 | <@Ceddobear> | I am going to be up until 6 or 7 am, Kev. |
01:52 | <@randolph> | drying rack? |
01:52 | <@randolph> | clothesline? |
01:52 | <@Ceddobear> | Sure, drying rack works. |
01:52 | <%afny> | hm |
01:52 | <%afny> | maybe I'll make |
01:52 | <%afny> | a MACDANIELS |
01:52 | <~Noah> | Is it one of those that extends between apartments? How quaint! |
01:53 | <@Ceddobear> | It's one of those fold-up stow-away things. |
01:53 | <~Noah> | Oh, lame |
01:58 | <%afny> | Oh, Ced |
01:59 | <%afny> | I finally looked through the terrain forum today |
01:59 | <%afny> | that last LDD station you did is ridiculous |
01:59 | <@Ceddobear> | Which one? The Comm Array? |
01:59 | <%afny> | yeah |
01:59 | <@Ceddobear> | Why? |
01:59 | <%afny> | like good ridiculous. |
01:59 | <@Ceddobear> | Oh, thanks! |
02:00 | <@Ceddobear> | Have you SEEN what's on there? |
02:00 | <@Ceddobear> | I grabbed EVERYTHING I could. |
02:00 | <%afny> | I didn't dl it, but from the pictures it's pretty intense |
02:00 | <%afny> | the crossbow is hilarious |
02:00 | <@Ceddobear> | Lemme take new pictures. |
02:00 | <@Ceddobear> | Better renders. |
02:00 | <%afny> | I'm looking at bits of it to steal currently |
02:00 | <%afny> | I think I want to make a small radio station |
02:01 | <%afny> | like a simple community tower, not anything industrail |

02:04 | <%afny> | it's pretty damn greebly |
02:04 | <@Ceddobear> | There's a computer keyboard in there. |
02:05 | <@Ceddobear> | And a fucking pickaxe. |
02:05 | <@Ceddobear> | A grappling hook on top. |
02:05 | <@Ceddobear> | Binocs everywhere. :D |
02:05 | <%afny> | I didnt even notice the hook |
02:05 | <%afny> | what's the part on the back |
02:05 | <%afny> | right before you get to the 2x2 round bricks |
02:05 | <%afny> | it's like a weird slope thing, big |
02:06 | <%afny> | it looks like it would make a good shield |

02:09 | <@Ceddobear> | What the hell is up with the word flanges? :D |
02:10 | <%afny> | it's funny |
02:10 | <%afny> | not only does it SOUND funny |
02:10 | <%afny> | it's also associated with funny sounds |
02:10 | <%afny> | a FLANGER. |
02:10 | <~Noah> | Phalanges? |
02:10 | <%afny> | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flanging |
02:10 | <@Ceddobear> | The humor totally eludes me. |
02:11 | <@Ceddobear> | Isn't that a flange? |
02:11 | <%afny> | what |
02:11 | <%afny> | WHAT |
02:11 | <%afny> | isn't WHAT a flange |
02:11 | <@Ceddobear> | Like, I was working in a steel plant. |
02:11 | <@Ceddobear> | And we had C bars and H bars. |
02:11 | <@Ceddobear> | And the ridges on the side were called flanges. |
02:11 | <@randolph> | this isn't definitional humor |
02:11 | <@randolph> | Afny is amused by the phonemes |
02:11 | <%afny> | well for me it wasn't really humor at all, I just think flange is a sweet word |
02:12 | <@randolph> | No, no, afny, PHONEMES. More expensive words! |
02:12 | <%afny> | but the similarity between flange (rim or lip) and flange (audio effect) is like |
02:12 | <%afny> | it's because a flange/lip is two separate bits that fit together closely, but not completely |
02:13 | <%afny> | and a flange effect in audio is like, a repetition of the same sound delayed very slightly |
02:13 | <%afny> | so it's like, the similarity in concepts is about the short distance of difference in the two iterations |
02:13 | <%afny> | it wasn't so much funny as a word that just makes me want to type it in all caps |
02:13 | <%afny> | or say it loudly and enthusiastically |
02:14 | <~Noah> | I am sad, because I am down to my last 2 cans of soda |
02:14 | <%afny> | soda is bad for you |
02:14 | <%afny> | d |
02:14 | <%afny> | rink bee. |
02:14 | <%afny> | ...r. |
02:14 | <%afny> | Okay, seriously, I only hit enter once. |
02:14 | <~Noah> | afny: The enter key is not punctuation |
02:14 | <%afny> | I don't know why this happens okay |
02:14 | <%afny> | I DO NOT. |
02:14 | <@Ceddobear> | I have a hunch. |
02:14 | <~Noah> | Three cans counting the one I just opened |
02:15 | <~Noah> | Yea, you're hitting the enter key a bunch |
02:15 | <@Ceddobear> | YOur keyboard is dirty. |
02:15 | <~Noah> | I mea |
02:15 | <~Noah> | n you kee |
02:15 | <%afny> | my keyboard might be dirty |

02:15 | <%afny> | that last one is more likely |
02:15 | <@Ceddobear> | Open it up and clean it, then. |
02:15 | <%afny> | it's...a mac. |
02:15 | <~Noah> | yea, which means it's sealed by baby glue |
02:15 | <@Ceddobear> | I lol'd. |
02:16 | <@Ceddobear> | YOUR TEARS NURTURE ME. |
02:16 | <%afny> | baby tears. |
02:18 | <%afny> | I give up on station designs for tonight |
02:18 | <~Noah> | Peach trees! |
02:18 | <@Ceddobear> | I'll tackle that later, Kev. |
02:18 | <@Ceddobear> | First, I need these Couatls to become more snakey. |
02:19 | <%afny> | I need coffee for brilliant ideas |
02:19 | <%afny> | but I'll wait until morning |
02:19 | <@randolph> | so uh |
02:19 | <@Ceddobear> | I really should take pictures of this entire Ijad company. |
02:19 | <%afny> | I keep telling you to do that! |
02:19 | <@randolph> | Apparently even when I make a "serious mech" my subconscious is fighting me |
02:19 | <@Ceddobear> | Yeah, yeah. Lemme do it now. |
02:19 | <@randolph> | I will take a picture and show you |
02:20 | <@Ceddobear> | Randy: Do you need help? |
02:21 | <@randolph> | no, I mean |
02:21 | <@randolph> | That hoppy from earlier? |

02:24 | <%afny> | your stuff is very sculptural. You've got an idea of what you're making and you build it up brick by brick |
02:24 | <%afny> | if you aren't happy with your mech design, maybe it's because you're thinking about it in terms of bricks instead of the mech |
02:25 | <@randolph> | Apparently that means my subconscious wanted to make a chocobo |
02:25 | <@randolph> | Hm hm |
02:25 | <%afny> | like, what kind of mech do you want to make? |
02:25 | <@Ced23Ric> | Maybe you are just a bit goofy. :D |
02:25 | <@randolph> | Well, that has been part of the problem - I don't really know |
02:25 | <%afny> | nothing wrong with goofy mechs |
02:25 | <@randolph> | I know what I like |
02:25 | <%afny> | did you check out that rongYIREN guy? |
02:25 | <@randolph> | I haven't just got home pretty much |
02:25 | <@randolph> | checking now |
02:26 | <%afny> | http://www.flickr.com/photos/47062214@N00/7148031545/ |
02:26 | <%afny> | pretty much everything he posts is amazing |
02:26 | <%afny> | including his chubs |
02:26 | <@randolph> | wow! |
02:26 | <~Noah> | http://youtu.be/ndQ8FbdcLKc |
02:26 | <@randolph> | that's a great foot |

02:26 | <%afny> | but he's an example of someone that has a sort of cartoony, goofy aesthetic |
02:27 | <%afny> | and still makes believable robots |
02:28 | <%afny> | yeah his gonks were the first think of his I saw |
02:28 | <%afny> | or something like gonks, it's not that picture but they're very similar |
02:29 | <%afny> | anyway, if you wanna build a mech |

02:29 | <@randolph> | http://www.flickr.com/photos/47062214@N00/6955541016/in/photostream |
02:29 | <%afny> | maybe it would help to think about it in terms of general shape first |
02:29 | <@randolph> | SO CUTE |
02:29 | <%afny> | haha yeah, I love those |
02:29 | <%afny> | the royal guard |
02:30 | <@randolph> | This guy is excellent, thanks for the heads up |
02:31 | <@randolph> | re: thinking about general shape, so like "humanoid?" |
02:31 | <@randolph> | Or do you mean more like "a Loki" |
02:31 | <%afny> | well, either |
02:31 | <%afny> | I mean, those are two distinct shapes. If you have an existing mech in mind, you can just try to copy that design |
02:32 | <%afny> | like the Hi-Leg is basically Soren's take on the Zentradi battle pod |
02:32 | <@randolph> | Oh jesus. http://www.flickr.com/photos/47062214@N00/6554518621/in/photostream |
02:32 | <@randolph> | Hm. |
02:32 | <%afny> | Another obvious step is to just copy a few people's builds and then slowly modify them until you have something completely different |
02:32 | <%afny> | you'll learn about new connections faster than discovering them on your own that way |
02:33 | <@randolph> | Yeah, I think part of the problem wrt humanoid mechs for me has been option paralysis |
02:33 | <@randolph> | There are just so many awesome ones to choose from |
02:33 | <@Ced23Ric> | Start with a Chub. |
02:33 | <@Ced23Ric> | Figure out what's up. |
02:33 | <@Ced23Ric> | Then do that Super Chub. |
02:34 | <@randolph> | Hehe |
02:34 | <@Ced23Ric> | Build a Conscript. |

02:34 | <@Ced23Ric> | Then beef it up. |
02:34 | <@Ced23Ric> | Try an MgN. |
02:34 | <@Ced23Ric> | And then make it yours. |
02:34 | <%afny> | those are the three that I would suggest too |
02:34 | <@Ced23Ric> | Those three are good starting points to play around with. |
02:34 | <@Ced23Ric> | You get very different approaches. |
02:34 | <%afny> | other than the Nimrod, those are the three I started with and I learned new connections from each of them |
02:34 | <@randolph> | Ok. I did start with Chubs (Blasto and variants) |
02:34 | <%afny> | and each one has different proportions |
02:34 | <@randolph> | Including Daisuke variants |
02:34 | <%afny> | so when you get an idea for a frame, you can be like |
02:35 | <%afny> | well, this one would be fat and cartoony, so I'll make a chub |
02:35 | <@randolph> | heh |
02:35 | <%afny> | or this one is a guy who flies around in space, so I'll make it an MgN |
02:35 | <%afny> | etc |
02:35 | <@randolph> | nod |
02:35 | <%afny> | but there's plenty of other ways to do a pelvis, for example |
02:35 | <@Ced23Ric> | Damn, I need some white paper. |
02:35 | <@Ced23Ric> | *searches the appartment.* |
02:36 | <%afny> | it's in your backpack, dude |
02:36 | <@Ced23Ric> | Paper? In my backpack. |
02:36 | <@Ced23Ric> | I lol'd. |
02:36 | <%afny> | with the gaffing tape |
02:36 | <%afny> | and chewing gum |
02:36 | <@Ced23Ric> | The only paper in there is to roll cigarettes. |
02:37 | <%afny> | perfectly good to write on. |

02:38 | <@Ced23Ric> | -s |
02:38 | <%afny> | he's both |
02:38 | <@randolph> | He's got some *incredible* builds |
02:38 | <%afny> | some of his mechs have very solid engineering behind them |
02:38 | <%afny> | he just does sculptural stuff too |
02:39 | <@randolph> | Ok, so conscript, MgN... |
02:40 | <@Ced23Ric> | Yeah, try those. |
02:40 | <@randolph> | Conveniently, they're all in the hangar |
02:40 | <@Ced23Ric> | Kev, I did my white balance. :D |
02:40 | <%afny> | yesss |
02:41 | <%afny> | the mgn in the hangar is a little... |
02:41 | <%afny> | crazy |
02:41 | <%afny> | it's a very VERY customizable frame |
02:41 | <@randolph> | Well, the key is the framework right? |
02:41 | <%afny> | yeah |
02:41 | <@randolph> | Just build the skeleton, screw around with variants for awhile |
02:42 | <@Ced23Ric> | Give him the breakdown shot, Kev. |
02:42 | <@Ced23Ric> | That'll be all he needs. |
02:42 | <%afny> | http://nobsjustabs.wordpress.com/instructions/mecha-frames/ |
02:42 | <@randolph> | oh hey awesome |
02:42 | <%afny> | this has a bunch of good explosion shots for some of Soren's designs and Malcolm's |
02:42 | <%afny> | and a bunch of others |
02:42 | <@randolph> | nice |
02:43 | <@randolph> | thanks |
02:43 | <@randolph> | I remember this, I just never came back hehe |
02:44 | <@Ced23Ric> | Okay. Uploading time. |
02:44 | <@Ced23Ric> | There's 4 cones missing on the NARC launchers of the Artys. |
02:44 | <@Ced23Ric> | And one white Travis brick, but I dare you to find it. :D |
02:45 | <@Ced23Ric> | OH WOW LOL FUCK. |
02:45 | <@Ced23Ric> | This white balance is SCREWED. |
02:45 | <@Ced23Ric> | Time for Photoshop. |
02:45 | <@Ced23Ric> | -50% Blue |
02:45 | <%afny> | lol |
02:45 | <~Noah> | I find Picasa handles post processing well enough |
02:47 | <@Ced23Ric> | Pretty sure I can fix this in the RGB channels. |
02:50 | <@randolph> | afny: Still totally digging the crates |
02:50 | <%afny> | I think I may actually use those as generic stations |
02:51 | <%afny> | just a pile of crates |
02:51 | <%afny> | too small to be cover |
02:51 | <@randolph> | They've got this pressurized-mechanical sci-fi FPS crate look |
02:51 | <@Ced23Ric> | Oky ... these pictures are really borked. |
02:51 | <@randolph> | You can totally imagine one going WHSSSHHHH-CLUNK and popping open |
02:51 | <@Ced23Ric> | I'll get a new white balance. :D |
02:51 | <@Ced23Ric> | http://www.ced23ric.de/stuff/mf0/council_b1.png |
02:51 | <@Ced23Ric> | There's a shot anyway. |
02:51 | <~Noah> | http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EfeWfnFCy-Y&feature=relmfu |
02:52 | <%afny> | oh wow |
02:52 | <%afny> | they're all such unmitigated badasses |
02:52 | <@Ced23Ric> | My artillery has wheels. :D |
02:52 | <%afny> | your camera is totally fucked, dude |
02:52 | <@randolph> | Augh, XG beat me to the koolaid joke! |
02:52 | <@Ced23Ric> | And that's after I reduced the blue channel. :D |
02:53 | <%afny> | yeah, I really like the wheels. They also look like they'd provide some good traction to handle the recoil |
02:53 | <@Ced23Ric> | Yupp. |
02:53 | <@Ced23Ric> | How do you like the tarantula butts? |
02:53 | <%afny> | then again those missiles probably just vent out the back |
02:53 | <%afny> | I need a detail shot, what are they connected to? |
02:53 | <%afny> | it just looks like a big black mass |
02:53 | <%afny> | minus the m |
02:53 | <@Ced23Ric> | Well, you know the base octagonal plate of every Scrambler? |
02:54 | <%afny> | yea |
02:54 | <@Ced23Ric> | Octaplate, 2x 2x2 round brick, 1x 2x2 round plate, octaplate. |
02:54 | <@Ced23Ric> | The wheel fits perfectly over the 2x2 round bricks. |
02:54 | <@randolph> | I think I need to see a closeup of the butt |
02:54 | <@randolph> | ... |
02:54 | <%afny> | I was talking about the butt |
02:54 | <%afny> | not the wheels |
02:54 | <@randolph> | <out of context> |
02:54 | <%afny> | i'm confused |
02:55 | <@randolph> | The butt has a giant wheel |
02:55 | <%afny> | one of those GIANT black ones? |
02:55 | <@randolph> | Yeah |
02:55 | <@Ced23Ric> | Yes. |
02:55 | <%afny> | Ah |
02:55 | <%afny> | AH |
02:55 | <@Ced23Ric> | That's a wheel. |
02:55 | <%afny> | that's what it is. |
02:55 | <@Ced23Ric> | It's 5x5 large, approx. |
02:55 | <%afny> | Oh, I thought you were describing something else |
02:55 | <@Ced23Ric> | And 2 bricks tall. |
02:55 | <%afny> | but now I see |
02:55 | <%afny> | yeah I have a few |
02:55 | <@randolph> | I think Ced23Ric was tyred of other butts |
02:55 | <%afny> | I used one in a ship |
02:56 | <@Ced23Ric> | !shades |
02:56 | <@Ced23Ric> | Yes. |
02:56 | <+mf0bot> | YEEEEEEEAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH! |
02:56 | <@Ced23Ric> | That was for you, Randy. |
02:56 | <%afny> | is the guy on the far left |
02:56 | <@randolph> | Thank you. |
02:56 | <@Ced23Ric> | Because you missed your chance. |
02:56 | <%afny> | the same as the one in the back right? |
02:56 | <@randolph> | I just like to mix things up, you knwo? |
02:56 | <@Ced23Ric> | Yupp. |
02:56 | <%afny> | that one is my favorite |
02:56 | <@randolph> | shades, no shades, sometimes I rock the monocle. |
02:56 | <@Ced23Ric> | There is two Soldiers, two Big Guns, one Captain, three Arty. |
02:57 | <@Ced23Ric> | I'll fix the white balance and do some individual shots. |

03:10 | <%afny> | it's so nice |
03:10 | < ferrelferret> | I like the custodian. :) |
03:11 | <%afny> | yeah, it's my favorite too |
03:11 | <@Ced23Ric> | Probably my favourite, too. :D |
03:11 | <@Ced23Ric> | It just looks very polished. |
03:11 | < ferrelferret> | all of them look good. |
03:11 | <@Ced23Ric> | Thanks! :) |
03:11 | <%afny> | the integration of the gray is very good |
03:11 | <@Ced23Ric> | Next month, I'll build the white/black with blue version. |
03:12 | < ferrelferret> | I need to get more bricks |
03:12 | <@Ced23Ric> | I'mma take some pictures of the Chubs with the backdrop. |
03:13 | < ferrelferret> | On another note, I saw Prometheus today. :) |
03:13 | <%afny> | oh, was it good? |
03:13 | <%afny> | did it feel like Alien? |
03:13 | < ferrelferret> | Love it. |
03:14 | <@randolph> | hey ferret |
03:14 | < ferrelferret> | Hey |
03:15 | | * Ced23Ric builds a little diorama for Kev. :D |
03:15 | <%afny> | yayy dioramarama |
03:15 | | * ferrelferret hopes that he gets kudos for his last RP post. :| |
03:15 | <@randolph> | heh |
03:16 | < ferrelferret> | I was going to ask what the hell the ship was doing up in the Turbopause before the cut scene. |
03:16 | <@randolph> | Oh! |
03:16 | <@randolph> | Right |
03:17 | < ferrelferret> | But, alas, I was super busy |
03:17 | <@randolph> | You asked about WT stuff, I should respond with Clarity's search results |
03:18 | <@randolph> | Except... I'm waiting for Forged, because we're in the middle of a meeting, nvm |
03:18 | < ferrelferret> | Well, I figured we all know that the hull damage had a WT hit. But I was wondering about 'the fluorite in the turbopause'. |
03:18 | < ferrelferret> | yeah |
03:19 | <@randolph> | I meant, this part: |
03:19 | <@randolph> | "Most likely match in all three categories: 'Say something in Japanese'. Runners-up, by relevance: 1) Military testing of bio-accumulative toxins on civilian populations in 20th century North America. 2) Effects of persistent high-altitude microparticle layer on Odvisteurlan military communications. 3) Approximately 299792458.6153820 meters per second. " |
03:19 | < ferrelferret> | oh yeah. |
03:19 | <@Ced23Ric> | Fuck these guys look good. |
03:20 | <@randolph> | Who gets to play them? |
03:20 | < ferrelferret> | yes, yes, Ced... We all know your great at building LEGO. :P |
03:20 | <@Ced23Ric> | Nah, it's not my effort, dude. |
03:21 | <@Ced23Ric> | It's that MoralWarfare guy. |
03:21 | < ferrelferret> | I know |
03:21 | <@Ced23Ric> | I am astonished how WICKED that articulation is. |
03:21 | < ferrelferret> | He got the legs I was looking for! |
03:22 | < ferrelferret> | He just all around pimped that design |
03:22 | < ferrelferret> | I'm going to start building Chubs like that from now on. XD |
03:22 | <@Ced23Ric> | *downloads pictures from cam* |
03:23 | <@Ced23Ric> | These guys look so wicked. D: |
03:23 | <@Ced23Ric> | I feel so ... dumb. Inadequate. |
03:23 | <@randolph> | oy |
03:23 | <@randolph> | those legs |
03:23 | <@randolph> | They're Kabutos legs, reversing the bits above and below the knees, with a clip+tooth inserted |
03:24 | < ferrelferret> | would anyone here be interested in playing some MF0 in real-time via Map Tools? |
03:24 | < ferrelferret> | I'm seeing what type of interest there is before I start building tokens. |

03:25 | <~Noah> | Not this second to be honest, but in general hell yes |
03:26 | < ferrelferret> | Well, the elbow is a Daisuke. ;) |
03:26 | <@randolph> | yeah, just sayin', man, I have bad PR |
03:26 | <@randolph> | Or bad photography, I'unno |
03:27 | < ferrelferret> | Noah: Cool. I'm going to post on the forum soon. more info to come |
03:27 | <~Noah> | Aye aye |
03:27 | < ferrelferret> | Randolph: he just flip your design upside down. |
03:27 | <@Ced23Ric> | Okay, I am sorry for the spam. |
03:27 | <@randolph> | right |
03:28 | <@randolph> | the clip+tooth insert is really cool |
03:28 | <@randolph> | and flipping it over lets you add dishes, which is also really cool |
03:28 | < ferrelferret> | Perspective makes a world of difference |

03:30 | <@randolph> | I can definitely confirm that the articulation is boss, though <_< |
03:30 | | * ferrelferret says in a British accent, "SPAM, SPAM, SPAM, I DON'T LIKE SPAM!" |
03:32 | <@Ced23Ric> | I still can't get over Vale actually reloading. |
03:33 | <@randolph> | Heh, apparently you should've tried daisuke elbows~ |
03:33 | <@Ced23Ric> | I know. |
03:33 | <@Ced23Ric> | Those were pretty much that. |
03:33 | <@Ced23Ric> | Well, really fucking close. |
03:35 | < ferrelferret> | :) |
03:35 | <@randolph> | And Kabuto knees~ |
03:36 | | * ferrelferret calls IP theft! |
03:36 | <@randolph> | Chrons? where? |
03:37 | < ferrelferret> | I read that all after the fact, but in his first post about how he guessed that Mitten didn't care about his 'secrets'... |
03:37 | <@randolph> | based on an earlier conversation, I'd guess my... aesthetic / branding is detracting from closer inspection |
03:37 | < ferrelferret> | man I knew that was going to go down hill fast |
03:38 | <@randolph> | heh |
03:38 | <@randolph> | He seemed okay for a couple posts |
03:38 | < ferrelferret> | you do post a lot of frames, man... |
03:38 | < ferrelferret> | I kinda just started tuning them out. ;) |
03:38 | <@randolph> | I'm sorry, I got bitten by the bug, couldn't stop :x |
03:38 | < ferrelferret> | I don't have enough bricks |
03:39 | < ferrelferret> | I need to buy more. |
03:39 | < ferrelferret> | but I hate shopping on Bricklink... |
03:39 | <%afny> | nice missile effects Ced |
03:39 | <@randolph> | LEGO wall? |
03:39 | < ferrelferret> | and PaB is steep. :| |
03:39 | <@Ced23Ric> | That's all I could come up with. |
03:39 | <@Ced23Ric> | But I tried anyway. For you, Kev! |
03:39 | <%afny> | they look good |
03:39 | <%afny> | high velocity |

03:40 | <@randolph> | hee |
03:40 | <%afny> | it's just got a ton of holes in it |
03:40 | <%afny> | and it's all different colors |
03:41 | <@randolph> | Like a Prothean Beacon on an acid trip? |
03:41 | <@Ced23Ric> | I am really happy how the yellow works. |
03:41 | <%afny> | I don't know what a prothean beacon looks like |
03:41 | <@randolph> | Mass Effect thingy |
03:44 | <%afny> | well |
03:44 | <%afny> | now it's a pile of bricks |

04:28 | <@Ced23Ric> | Dude, I ripped multiple things apart. |
04:29 | <@Ced23Ric> | BUT IT'S SO WORTH IT. |
04:29 | <@Ced23Ric> | It's also 5:30 am and the sun is up for about 30 minutes now. |
04:29 | <@Ced23Ric> | Fuck. |
04:29 | < XGundam05> | I'm waiting on a shipment of Taps and Travis bricks right now -.- |
04:29 | <@Ced23Ric> | I had 4 off-colour taps. |
04:29 | <@Ced23Ric> | And then I took my MgN construction sites. |
04:29 | <@Ced23Ric> | And ripped 4 black taps out of there. |
04:29 | <@Ced23Ric> | But the light grey ones in there. |
04:30 | <@Ced23Ric> | And then, I liberated another 8 taps from the 4 Old Couatls. |
04:30 | <@Ced23Ric> | Then, I had enough taps to retrofit all 8 Chubs. |
04:30 | <@Ced23Ric> | It was quite the battle. |
04:30 | < XGundam05> | I've got a grand total of 2 until I get my PAB order in (gonna go w/ Bricklink in the future after ya'll's recommendations of stores) |
04:32 | < XGundam05> | I did tear down and re-build one of my Hackbacks with a mod of Carbonbass'/MoralWarfare's legs tho |
04:32 | < XGundam05> | soooo much more badass looking |
04:34 | < XGundam05> | Me of 5 years ago would be super envious of my desk now |
04:34 | < XGundam05> | what with all the decent looking micro-scale mechs sitting on it |
04:35 | <@Ced23Ric> | I know that feel, bro. |
04:35 | <@Ced23Ric> | I have that little battle vignette in the middle. |
04:35 | <@Ced23Ric> | 4 odd frames on the right. |
04:35 | <@Ced23Ric> | 12 other 'frames on the left. |
04:35 | <@Ced23Ric> | An entire Ijad company of 8 below. |
04:35 | <@Ced23Ric> | And 4 cracked 'frames in a pile next to my laptop. |
04:36 | <@Ced23Ric> | I wish I was 12 again. :D |
04:36 | < XGundam05> | lol |

04:37 | <@Ced23Ric> | In that case, I am extremely mature. |
04:42 | <@Ced23Ric> | Oh. |
04:42 | | * XGundam05 wishes his Lego budget was larger/would refill faster -.- |
04:42 | <@Ced23Ric> | HEre is a messed up idea. |
04:42 | <@Ced23Ric> | I will take my Nerf gun to my demo games. |
04:42 | <@Ced23Ric> | Whenever a 'frame is destroyed ... shoot it. |
04:43 | <@Ced23Ric> | We tried it the other day. |
04:43 | <@Ced23Ric> | It absolutely obliberates a Chub. |
04:44 | < XGundam05> | what you really need is a nerf gun on an xy track above the board |
04:44 | < XGundam05> | with a laser display system |
04:44 | < XGundam05> | that has shrinking crosshairs when activated |
04:44 | < XGundam05> | it'd be like calling in an orbital strike >.. |

05:53 | < ferrelferret> | I liked it. Very entertaining. |

06:28 | <@Soren> | Okay, that's out of my system. |

06:28 | < ferrelferret> | You work in a warehouse too? |
06:28 | <+Tetrajak> | sup Randolph |
06:28 | < ferrelferret> | ;) |
06:28 | <@Soren> | Sure feels like it. |
06:29 | < ferrelferret> | See, I leave my packing until the day of the move |
06:29 | < ferrelferret> | that way you only take what you need. |
06:29 | < ferrelferret> | lol |
06:29 | <+Tetrajak> | ferret: you must not have much stuff |
06:30 | < ferrelferret> | Oh I have loads of stuff... |
06:30 | < ferrelferret> | took me until 4 am last move in January |
06:30 | < ferrelferret> | of course... |
06:31 | <+Tetrajak> | ouch |
06:31 | < ferrelferret> | It helps that I leave most of my stuff in Boxes. |
06:31 | < ferrelferret> | ;) |
06:31 | <+Tetrajak> | I usually start packing weeks in advance, so I only have to do a little at a time |

06:36 | <~Noah> | Soren: Books? |
06:37 | <@Soren> | yeah, quite a few |
06:37 | <@randolph> | How long-term is the move? I might be concerned about humidity |
06:37 | <@randolph> | (for the books) |
06:38 | <@Soren> | it's sufficiently long-term that it's measured in years. |
06:38 | <~Noah> | Got any Terry Pratchett? You can just mail those my way |
06:38 | <@Soren> | hah, nope |
06:38 | <~Noah> | lame |
06:38 | <@randolph> | heh |
06:39 | <@Soren> | right, because it's monumentally less lame if I'm a pushover to tools on the internet. |
06:39 | <@randolph> | well, then you'd have less stuff to pack... |
06:40 | <@Soren> | I doubt I have enough stuff that other people want that I also want to give away |
06:40 | <~Noah> | Wait, did you just call me a tool? lol |
06:40 | <@randolph> | It's ok, that's Soren for "person" ;) |
06:41 | <@Soren> | hah, often, yeah. |
06:41 | <~Noah> | Whatever tool. |
06:41 | <@randolph> | your mom is a class lady! |
06:41 | <~Noah> | Your mom went to college! |

06:42 | <@Soren> | If only. She might be a useful twisted bitch, then. |
06:42 | <~Noah> | (An actual insult yelled at my friend in a parking lot once) |
06:42 | <@randolph> | what. |
06:42 | <@randolph> | It's like the incomprehensible version of "your sister wears combat boots" |

06:44 | <@randolph> | I think I'm going to get some droid bodies |
06:44 | <~Noah> | True story. We were on the way to his car leaving our local Food City parking lot, and these guys in this...I'll call it a truck, but it had huge wheels and exhaust pipes running up the sides, yelled it at us, then peeled out of the lot. |
06:44 | <@randolph> | ... |
06:45 | <~Noah> | There was considerable questioning of what we actually heard on the way back to his house, but we couldn't think of anything else we might've heard except what we thought we heard. |
06:45 | <@Soren> | You know, pretty much no matter what those guys call you, you're coming out on top. |
06:45 | <@randolph> | hehe |
06:45 | <@randolph> | Now I'm imagining sequential rewinds of the situation, with different overdubbing |
06:46 | <@randolph> | ("Let me know if you want to talk about hedge fund produuuuucts!" "I know a great falafel plaaaaace!" etc) |
06:46 | <~Noah> | He said he should've yelled something back, but I pointed out that there isn't really anything you could repond to that |
06:47 | <@randolph> | "Why are you googlestalking my pareeeeents?" |
06:48 | <~Noah> | Haha |
06:48 | <@Soren> | Man |

11:20 | < Dukayn> | I thought about the situation |
11:20 | < Dukayn> | And RP-wise, that pilot is thinking "Fuck this, I still have a rocket left." |
11:20 | <@Ced23Ric> | Makes total sense. |
11:21 | <@Ced23Ric> | His 'frame is a smoking wreck anyway. |
11:21 | <@Ced23Ric> | The only thing I am not sure about is whether he still gets his actions. |
11:21 | < Dukayn> | Plus he was in the open in DF range, so it was one of the only ones he could spot. |
11:21 | < Dukayn> | Um. Was he destroyed by the frame that he activated? |
11:21 | < Dukayn> | I didn't read it properly as I was helping someone move house |
11:24 | <@Ced23Ric> | Yeah, I am not sure how it works. |
11:24 | < Dukayn> | Well one-shots stop all actions |
11:24 | <@Ced23Ric> | Oh, damn. |
11:24 | <@Ced23Ric> | Yes. |
11:24 | <@Ced23Ric> | The Rules Draft says nothing. |
11:25 | <@Ced23Ric> | I just scanned the entire document. Not a word about one-shots. |
11:26 | <@Ced23Ric> | Maybe I can find a preview. |
11:27 | < Dukayn> | Frame destruction = no actions I'm pretty sure |
11:27 | < Dukayn> | When they lose that last White dice, that's game over |
11:34 | <@Ced23Ric> | Yeah. That's what I thoguh. |
11:34 | <@Ced23Ric> | *thought |
11:34 | <@Ced23Ric> | I am currently reading the forum, trying to find it. |
11:34 | < Dukayn> | BTW Epsilon is in DF range |
11:34 | <@Ced23Ric> | Dude, fuck if I know. :D |
11:34 | < Dukayn> | <2 squares = DF |
11:34 | <@Ced23Ric> | Really? |
11:34 | <@Ced23Ric> | *edits* *shrug* |
11:34 | < Dukayn> | I posted in the Discussion |
11:35 | < Dukayn> | there are 4 squares per block |
11:35 | < Dukayn> | thus, 2 blocks = 8 squares = DF |
11:36 | <@Ced23Ric> | Alright. |
11:36 | <@Ced23Ric> | Editted it to DF. |
11:36 | <@Ced23Ric> | In the brick, you can just measure and go. |
11:36 | < Dukayn> | yeah |
11:36 | < Dukayn> | hence why I bothered measuring how many units each square is |
11:36 | < Dukayn> | assuming the stations are 1x1 |
11:39 | <@Ced23Ric> | Oh, didya see the final shots of last night? |
11:39 | <@Ced23Ric> | The Ijads and the 13th Guard? |
11:39 | < Dukayn> | only on my phone |
11:39 | < Dukayn> | I'll have a proper look shortly |
11:39 | <@Ced23Ric> | Are you on your phone right now? :D |
11:41 | < Dukayn> | Nah ont he PC |
11:42 | <@Ced23Ric> | ... I tried to type one-shot-kill. |

11:44 | <@Ced23Ric> | Today, I'mma build me some Serpents. |
11:44 | < Dukayn> | tore down the Old Coatls? |
11:44 | <@Ced23Ric> | Yeah, had to gut them for the Chubs. |
11:44 | <@Ced23Ric> | Needed the taps and the clips. |
11:44 | <@Ced23Ric> | But fuck, it was worth it. |
11:44 | <@Ced23Ric> | You'll see. |
11:48 | < Dukayn> | Hmm I don't like the Bionicle bit on the bricked Hierophant. Prefer the one from LDD |
11:48 | <@Ced23Ric> | I'll get one later. Next month. :D |
11:49 | < Dukayn> | Those look real nice in the brick |
11:49 | < Dukayn> | not sure about the purple you got for the cones. Doesn't really fit into the other purples in the company. |
11:49 | <@Ced23Ric> | Sadly ,those don't come in pink. |
11:50 | <@Ced23Ric> | It's the closest I could get. :( |
11:50 | <@Ced23Ric> | In person, it's a little better. |
11:50 | < Dukayn> | could be the lighting |
11:50 | <@Ced23Ric> | I had horrible problems with the white balance at first. |
11:52 | < Dukayn> | Man those Chubs |
11:53 | < Dukayn> | MoralWarfare did a fabulous job modding those |
11:53 | <@Ced23Ric> | He totally did. |
11:53 | <@Ced23Ric> | I even gave them markings. |
11:53 | <@Ced23Ric> | Yellow for Arties. |
11:53 | <@Ced23Ric> | Dark Red for killers. |
11:53 | <@Ced23Ric> | Seeberg destroyed 3 'frames in one game. |
11:53 | <@Ced23Ric> | And Ambercroft is just a hero. |
11:53 | <@Ced23Ric> | Vale has the unit's marking on both shoulders. |
11:54 | <@Ced23Ric> | I love that articulation mod. |
11:54 | <@Ced23Ric> | They have so much fucking ttitude now. |
11:55 | <@Ced23Ric> | I imagine their radio chatter like this: |
11:55 | <@Ced23Ric> | Seeberg: "Requesting permission to fuck their shit up." |
11:56 | <@Ced23Ric> | Vale: "Permission granted, Seeberg. Have fun." |

14:30 | <@Ced23Ric> | Yah? |
14:31 | < Dukayn> | clicky linkies |
14:31 | < Dukayn> | I made the Nightingale stupidly tall :P |
14:31 | <@Ced23Ric> | I see that! |
14:31 | <@Ced23Ric> | Also, the arms are comically long. :D |
14:31 | < Dukayn> | it's taller than a Chub while kneeling |
14:31 | < Dukayn> | They're a brick longer than a Chub arm, and they've always been that long :P |
14:31 | < afny> | I actually...really like it |
14:32 | < afny> | the proportions are slick |
14:32 | < Dukayn> | it's just not... to scale. |
14:32 | < afny> | I don't think the Chub is the upper limit of frame height |
14:32 | < Dukayn> | no but it's basically the standard |
14:33 | < Dukayn> | also, that's his height KNEELING |
14:33 | < afny> | I mean, size and scale are different. It could just be a really tall, really lanky frame. As long as there is a 7p person in its chest, it's "to scale" |
14:33 | < Dukayn> | True |
14:33 | < afny> | you could do what randolph said and actually play it kneeling on the table |
14:33 | < afny> | I mean, it looks good that way |
14:33 | < Dukayn> | I never really plan on having him stand purely upright, no |
14:35 | < afny> | in the brick, how do the legs connect? |
14:35 | < afny> | taps directly into a 5 way? |

14:38 | < Dukayn> | replied |
14:39 | < Dukayn> | afny: t-piece into travis in the bottom half |
14:39 | < Dukayn> | it's a WarMachine leg |
14:39 | < afny> | I mean at the crotch |
14:39 | < Dukayn> | oright |
14:39 | < afny> | I assume what it's like now is because of the ldd limitation on taps |
14:39 | < afny> | is it just a chub connection? |
14:39 | < afny> | in the brick, I mean |
14:39 | < Dukayn> | travis, clips, taps |
14:39 | < Dukayn> | clips on the travis, holding the taps |
14:39 | < afny> | but there really are clips on the side of the travis in the brick? |
14:39 | < Dukayn> | Yep |
14:39 | < afny> | if you did it like a chub, you'd shave off about 1 stud of height |
14:40 | | MittenNinja [MittenNinja@Nightstar-e5d36bd2.tmodns.net] has joined #mf0 |
14:40 | < Dukayn> | and lose a point of rotation |
14:40 | < afny> | if you just clipped the taps in on the top of the thighs and shoved the taps into the holes of the 5way |
14:40 | < afny> | how so? |
14:40 | < Dukayn> | hmm actually, good point |
14:40 | < afny> | I think you would actually GAIN articulation |
14:41 | < afny> | because the taps could be rotated up and down for about 30 degrees of movement from the travis studs |
14:41 | < afny> | but the clips wouldn't rotate very far |
14:41 | < Dukayn> | actually |
14:41 | < Dukayn> | the clips do a full 180 rotation |
14:41 | < Dukayn> | so he can do the can-can |
14:42 | < Dukayn> | and kick back like a mule |
14:43 | < Dukayn> | http://www.dukayn.net/MFZ/JA11WM_SizeComparison.png << hehehe, he's kinda tall :P |
14:45 | < MittenNinja> | Just a smidgen :) |
14:45 | < afny> | I still think he's legit |
14:45 | < Dukayn> | I think you have a point |
14:45 | < Dukayn> | his size is all leg |
14:45 | < Dukayn> | given that's all I've replaced. |
14:46 | < MittenNinja> | His legs are twice as long as the chubs |
14:46 | < MittenNinja> | Which is like, half of a normal sized.frame |
14:46 | < Dukayn> | so? |
14:47 | < MittenNinja> | So he's tall? |
14:47 | < Dukayn> | Yeah but is that a problem? |
14:47 | < MittenNinja> | No |
14:47 | < Dukayn> | Would you complain if I were to field that against you? |
14:47 | < Dukayn> | Not having a go, purely curious. |
14:48 | < Dukayn> | Especially as he would be posed as such: http://www.dukayn.net/MFZ/JA11WM_Nightingale2.png |
14:48 | < MittenNinja> | Nah not at all |
14:48 | < MittenNinja> | Height doesn't impact.gameplay at all |
14:49 | < Dukayn> | Would you say he's within scale? |
14:49 | < Dukayn> | Because "afnyI mean, size and scale are different. It could just be a really tall, really lanky frame. As long as there is a 7p person in its chest, it's "to scale" << I tend to agree |
14:49 | < MittenNinja> | Yeah pretty much |
14:49 | < afny> | There are surely upper limits in the lore |
14:49 | < afny> | a skyscraper sized mech piloted by a guy probably won't fly |
14:49 | < Dukayn> | well yeah |
14:49 | < afny> | but he's not that big |
14:50 | < afny> | not even gundam sized, really |
14:50 | <@Ced23Ric> | Dukey: Amended the post reflecting your reply. |
14:50 | < afny> | in lore, he's probably just got some extra muscle cylinders in his legs and he's got some complicated balancing software |
14:51 | < Dukayn> | Course I could lose height by changing the feet |
14:51 | < Dukayn> | the feet are 2 studs high :P |
14:51 | <@Ced23Ric> | Also! |
14:52 | <@Ced23Ric> | http://www.ced23ric.de/stuff/mf0/superheavychub_b1.png |
14:52 | < afny> | urgh that articulation |
14:54 | < Dukayn> | very nice |
14:54 | < afny> | is the red accenting on the shoulder new? |
14:54 | < afny> | and the red chins? |
14:55 | < afny> | or do you all your serpents have red |
14:55 | <@Ced23Ric> | Nah, those are new. |
14:55 | <@Ced23Ric> | They are veterans markers. |
14:55 | < afny> | accenting is key |
14:55 | < afny> | KEY |
14:55 | < afny> | the only thing I don't like |
14:56 | < afny> | is the clear fact that they slaughtered two Couatls to make those shoulderpads. |
14:57 | < Dukayn> | lol |
14:57 | < Dukayn> | Ced23Ric: I fixed the 'gale arms |
14:57 | < Dukayn> | they're now closer to Chub length and look much nicer |
14:58 | <@Ced23Ric> | afny: Three. |
14:58 | <@Ced23Ric> | 2 each shoulder and the chest, too. |
14:58 | < afny> | those bastards. |
14:59 | <@Ced23Ric> | Danni just posed them, too. |
15:00 | < Dukayn> | the clip with grille tile on the right shoulder of the right Chub, is that an antenna? |
15:00 | <@Ced23Ric> | http://www.ced23ric.de/stuff/mf0/superheavychub_b2.png |
15:00 | <@Ced23Ric> | Dukayn: Yupp, d6Y. |
15:00 | <@Ced23Ric> | Short-Range scanner. |
15:00 | < Dukayn> | Nice, looks cool |
15:00 | < Dukayn> | LOL that pose |
15:00 | < Dukayn> | GANGSTA STYLE |
15:00 | <@Ced23Ric> | I'm using those on the Asps, the Naga and the Yuan-Ti, too. |
15:01 | <@Ced23Ric> | Oh, and on the new Iguanas I built today. |
15:01 | <@Ced23Ric> | They have rail-snipers. :D |
15:01 | < Dukayn> | nice |
15:01 | < Dukayn> | got pics? |
15:01 | <@Ced23Ric> | Gonna take some now. |
15:01 | < Dukayn> | DOOOOO EEEEET |
15:01 | < Dukayn> | need some 'guana love |
15:05 | <@Ced23Ric> | Gonna steal another snake name from Mittens. :D |
15:05 | <@Ced23Ric> | GREEN MAMBA. |
15:06 | < Dukayn> | heh |
15:09 | <@Ced23Ric> | Lol, as I am typing up the post and edit the first images, Danni's already taking a second set. :D |
15:09 | < MittenNinja> | Nice Chubs Ceddo |
15:09 | <@Ced23Ric> | Posing these guys is fun as hell. They can walk stairs. |
15:10 | <@Ced23Ric> | Thanks Mittens. Glad you like them! |

15:13 | <@Ced23Ric> | Nah I am at home. |
15:13 | <@Ced23Ric> | Also, that broad is dumb as all fuck. |
15:13 | < Dukayn> | THEN GO FOR IT |
15:14 | <@Ced23Ric> | And a HORRIBLE DJ. |
15:14 | < Dukayn> | She's a DJ? |
15:14 | <@Ced23Ric> | Yupp. |
15:14 | | * Dukayn shrugs |
15:14 | < Dukayn> | She's naked |

15:32 | < afny> | anyone know any alternate connections for the little antennas? |
15:32 | < afny> | like without their slotted stud holders? |
15:42 | <@Ced23Ric> | Whatcha mean? |
15:42 | <@Ced23Ric> | The lever antenna thingey? |
15:42 | <@Ced23Ric> | They really only fit into two things. |
15:42 | <@Ced23Ric> | The disc into the slotted stud thing. |
15:42 | <@Ced23Ric> | The ball into any hole a bar would go into. |
15:42 | <@Ced23Ric> | Basically, a minifig hand or a 3mm hole. |
15:43 | <@Ced23Ric> | Then, you'd have the disc poking out instead. |
15:43 | < MittenNinja> | You can squeeze it into a grill 1x2 tile too |
15:45 | < afny> | the grill was the only one I could think of, but I couldn't make it work for me |
15:45 | < afny> | this company is just stupid so far |
15:45 | < afny> | I have no idea what it's going to do for systems |
15:47 | <@Ced23Ric> | What it do? |
15:48 | < afny> | well it's still in flux |
15:48 | < afny> | but right now, it's got... |
15:48 | < afny> | a tan and yellow "chub" |
15:48 | < afny> | a blue, white, and green "chub" with a giant pot leaf on its ass |
15:48 | < afny> | a red chub |
15:48 | < afny> | and then my four left over nimrods |
15:49 | < afny> | so the red and brown one with guns, the tall one with missiles and a cannon (blue/dark gray), the brown and tan one with a small head and spears, and the dark gray and brown one |
15:50 | <@Ced23Ric> | Just make them all Soldiers. |
15:50 | <@Ced23Ric> | Well, 2 Arty, 4 Soldiers, 2 Captains. |
15:50 | < afny> | i'm going to have to get creative with guns |
15:50 | <@Ced23Ric> | You can do it. |
15:51 | < afny> | i'm using up all my weirdly colored parts |
15:51 | < afny> | with this company |
15:51 | < afny> | like the green travis |
15:51 | | * Ced23Ric tries his hand on a vignette, meanwhile. |
15:51 | < afny> | come over to the dark side |
15:51 | < afny> | it's nice. |
16:13 | < afny> | these chubs are hilarious |
16:13 | < afny> | while everyone else is busy upgrading all their chubs to be all articulate and badass |
16:13 | < afny> | I'm doing the complete opposite |
16:18 | < MittenNinja> | Making them stiff and dopey? |
16:18 | < Dukayn> | Stiff Chubs. Yeah, that's not penisy. |
16:22 | < Dukayn> | right I'm off to bed |

16:23 | <@Ced23Ric> | My fav Chubs. |
16:24 | <@Ced23Ric> | I NEED MORE CONTAINERS. |
16:25 | < afny> | did you do a vignette? |
16:26 | <@Ced23Ric> | Working on it. |
16:26 | <@Ced23Ric> | Currently building a solar powered goods transfer station. |
16:26 | < afny> | nice |
16:28 | < afny> | okay |
16:28 | < afny> | this chub has a giant ruby pinky ring |
16:28 | < afny> | I am not sure how I feel about this. |
16:28 | <@Ced23Ric> | It's fabulous. |
16:29 | < afny> | he's definitely less Elton John |
16:29 | < afny> | more...70's pimp |
16:29 | < afny> | he needs a cane. |
16:31 | < afny> | I think this guys are gonna be like |
16:31 | < afny> | organized crime |
16:31 | < afny> | I'm trying to fit al my companies into the same colony |
16:31 | < afny> | not just the same system |
16:31 | < afny> | so I've got...Metro FC cell |
16:31 | < afny> | rural Ijad/Mercs |
16:32 | < afny> | Mafia |
16:32 | < afny> | and then police force |
16:32 | <@Ced23Ric> | Hahaha. I am attaching the most random shit to this. |
16:32 | < afny> | greeble solar power |
16:33 | <@Ced23Ric> | I NEED MORE RANDOM SHIT. |
16:42 | < afny> | damn, I had this sweet little 1x1 white tile with a red print on it |
16:42 | < afny> | but I can't find it |
16:42 | <@Ced23Ric> | I put all printed tiles aside. |
16:44 | <@Ced23Ric> | I really hope the people in-universe know what all this shit is for. |
16:44 | <@Ced23Ric> | Because I have no clue. |
16:48 | < afny> | hm |
16:48 | < afny> | okay |
16:48 | < afny> | six organized crime frames more or less done |
16:48 | < afny> | I'm going to push it to a full eight |
16:48 | < afny> | like a crazy person |
16:49 | <@Ced23Ric> | Company of 8? Do it. |
16:49 | < afny> | none of them except two of the nimrods have any systems |
16:49 | < afny> | hm |
16:49 | < afny> | I dont know what else it needs |
16:49 | <@Ced23Ric> | Perfect. |
16:49 | < afny> | I already know which one is like |
16:49 | < afny> | THE DON |
16:49 | < afny> | although I think this might be an asian syndicate |
16:49 | < afny> | well, asian influenced |
16:50 | < afny> | maybe hong kong style |
16:50 | < afny> | maybe yakuza |
16:50 | < afny> | I tommy gun would not be amiss |

17:30 | <@Soren> | most excellent. |
17:30 | <@Soren> | I did some shipping containers that I should share |
17:31 | <@Ceddobear> | Meh, I am really just making simple square shapes. Nothing fancy. |
17:31 | < afny> | I'm so happy with this company but I have to restrain myself |
17:31 | < afny> | gotta get some weapons before I take pictures |
17:31 | <@Ceddobear> | Yay! |
17:31 | < afny> | I thought it would just be like |
17:31 | < afny> | a shitty leftover tablescrap company |
17:31 | < afny> | the one I give to the third guy who comes late |
17:31 | < afny> | but no |
17:31 | < afny> | it's my favorite by far. |
17:32 | <@Ceddobear> | Really? |
17:32 | <@Ceddobear> | That's awesome. |
17:32 | <@Soren> | Ced: so are these, but 3x6x2.6 (two bricks high plus plates and tiles) is a great size and pretty cheap to build |
17:32 | <@Ceddobear> | Sure, share! |
17:32 | <@Ceddobear> | Maybe I can make some. |
17:32 | <@Ceddobear> | Also: I was a busy beaver. |
17:32 | <@Soren> | gotta find them |

17:45 | < afny> | okay, Ihm |

17:45 | < afny> | i'm just going to take a quick shot of them with no weapons |
17:46 | < afny> | so I can wrangle the chat into helping me make a dice build |
17:46 | | * Ceddobear signs up for it. |
17:48 | < afny> | weapons wise, all I know that I want so far |
17:48 | < afny> | is a cane looking weapon for one of them |
17:48 | < afny> | and a tommy gun |
17:48 | < afny> | so that's one melee |
17:48 | < afny> | everything else is pretty much free |
17:48 | < afny> | it's either 8 or 7 frames |
17:48 | < afny> | not sure yet |

17:55 | <@Ceddobear> | Good god, so many containers ... |
17:55 | <@randolph> | I should've just answered the activation order question here |
17:55 | <@randolph> | Welp, forum post count++ I guess |
17:56 | <@Ceddobear> | Which one now? |
17:57 | < afny> | Alright Ced, ready for these? |
17:57 | <@Ceddobear> | Hit me. |
17:57 | < afny> | the first four you've basically seen before...just 3 of the nimrods repurposed. The new one isn't done yet, not sure what it's hardmounts will be |
17:57 | < afny> | http://i.imgur.com/AeVW8.jpg?1 |
17:57 | < afny> | They're the enforcers. The muscle. The watchdogs. |
17:57 | <@Ceddobear> | I never liked the canister launcher. |
17:57 | < afny> | it's pretty big |
17:58 | <@Ceddobear> | It's only big. |
17:58 | < afny> | Really I don't like either of those weapons |
17:58 | <@Ceddobear> | Not pretty. :D |
17:58 | < afny> | I'll make it so it's like the missile bay on the red one |
17:58 | <@Ceddobear> | Yeah. |
17:58 | < afny> | I can do one that's pretty close to that at least |
17:58 | < afny> | really none of the weapons on those except for the red one are done |
17:59 | < afny> | anyway, here are the other four frames |
17:59 | < afny> | these are the bosses. the dons. |
17:59 | < afny> | http://i.imgur.com/kE1RR.jpg?1 |
17:59 | <@Ceddobear> | HAHAHAHA. |
17:59 | <@Ceddobear> | Oh fuck yes. |
17:59 | < afny> | that is pretty much how I feel. |
17:59 | <@Ceddobear> | HE HAS A FUCKING RING. |
17:59 | <@Ceddobear> | WITH BLING. |
17:59 | <@randolph> | ced, the activation order if B destroys A thing |
17:59 | <@Ceddobear> | ON HIS FINGER. |
18:00 | < afny> | he COULD have two, but I think one is more tasteful. |
18:00 | <@Ceddobear> | Randy: So A shoots B. |
18:00 | <@Ceddobear> | What about the spot? |
18:00 | <@randolph> | Spot happens too |
18:00 | <@Ceddobear> | Boo. :( |
18:00 | <@randolph> | ENTIRE TURN happens |
18:00 | <@randolph> | It's over and done before B goes |
18:00 | <@randolph> | Like, if he wanted to thank the Academy or paint his toes, it would happen too |
18:01 | <@Ceddobear> | Hate it when a 'frame thanks the Academy. |
18:01 | <@randolph> | afny: I... somehow I don't think tasteful is on that guy's list of requirements |
18:01 | < afny> | are you kidding me |
18:01 | < afny> | he's all class. |
18:01 | <@randolph> | If tasteful was a concern, he would not wear a gemstone the size of a grown man's head |
18:01 | <@randolph> | On his pinky |
18:01 | < afny> | it's just a fancy backup camera |
18:01 | <@randolph> | (He would obviously wear it on his teeth) |
18:01 | < afny> | or maybe the world's largest ring-pop |
18:01 | <@randolph> | hahah... chub mod incoming |
18:02 | < afny> | anyway ced |
18:02 | < afny> | what do you think about a build for these guys |
18:02 | <@Ceddobear> | I love their character. |
18:03 | < afny> | I'm sort of thinking the chub heads will actually be 1Y |
18:03 | < afny> | for some of them at least |
18:04 | <@randolph> | i do like the chub heads |
18:04 | < afny> | oh also |
18:04 | <@randolph> | If you could bulk up the others' feet like blue guy, that would look more balanced |
18:04 | < afny> | all of them but the blue one use motors instead of travis |
18:04 | < afny> | so they have giant motor butts if you look at them from the back |
18:04 | < afny> | and nah, I tried big feet like that on the red one |
18:04 | < afny> | it looks dumb |
18:04 | < afny> | I like the topheavy look |
18:05 | <@randolph> | ah ok |
18:05 | <@randolph> | hey, do they make a tuxedo-textured 2x2 tile |
18:05 | <@randolph> | because that's what these guys (and Blasto) needs |
18:05 | < afny> | I don't see why they would |
18:05 | <@randolph> | *need |
18:06 | <@randolph> | I'm on-board with the tommygun idea |
18:06 | <@randolph> | They also strike me as the type to have at least a pistol in the bunch |
18:06 | < afny> | yeah definitely |
18:06 | < afny> | oh, I also have |
18:06 | < afny> | well |
18:06 | < afny> | it's really ridiculous but it's a plant piece I'm going to use for a rifle for the blue one |
18:07 | <@randolph> | I'm thinking frame-sized brass knuckle, but that may be too over-the-top |
18:07 | <@randolph> | Like OVER the megahand |
18:07 | < afny> | eh, the red guy already has big hands |
18:07 | < afny> | and he's going to have a cane |
18:07 | <@randolph> | haha |
18:07 | <@randolph> | put the jewel on it |
18:07 | <@randolph> | or another jewel |
18:07 | < afny> | yeah I have another jewel for it |
18:07 | <@randolph> | hhahaha |
18:07 | <@randolph> | do you have something you can use as a pimpcape? |
18:07 | < afny> | I have real capes |
18:07 | < afny> | but they look stupid |
18:07 | <@randolph> | aw |
18:07 | <@randolph> | Sad. |
18:08 | < afny> | I've tried to put them on chubs before but they always flare out at the wrong angle |
18:08 | <@randolph> | gotcha |
18:08 | <@randolph> | A big floppy pimphat |
18:08 | <@randolph> | But let's see... the enforcers... |
18:08 | < afny> | I actually have a minifig sized tophat |
18:08 | < afny> | if I can find it I MIGHT try to incorporate it into an SSR pod |
18:09 | <@randolph> | dual wield energy hatchets (or normal kind) |
18:09 | <@randolph> | guy with a length of chain |
18:09 | < afny> | it might be a little over the top, but then again if I wasn't going to go over the top I would've stopped before the pot leaf |
18:09 | <@randolph> | tommy gun |
18:09 | <@randolph> | pistols |
18:09 | < afny> | I used my only chain on the red Nimrod |
18:09 | <@randolph> | ahok |
18:09 | < afny> | well I could take it off I guess |
18:09 | <@randolph> | Do you have any minifig bottles? |
18:09 | < afny> | nope :C |
18:09 | <@randolph> | molotov cocktails |
18:09 | <@randolph> | ok |
18:10 | < MittenNinja> | Wait til you see the ghillie suits on my fat snake snipers |
18:10 | < afny> | hand grenades are a good idea though |
18:10 | < afny> | that's definitely their MO |
18:10 | < afny> | probably do that instead of SSRS actually |
18:10 | <@randolph> | some real-world looking less-exotic military hardware wouldn't be out of the question |
18:10 | < MittenNinja> | You could use the technique to make a badass cape |
18:10 | <@randolph> | Take a look at Ced's Motherland series? |
18:10 | <@randolph> | Mittens: Got a pic? |
18:10 | < afny> | I'd use the guns I used for my Expats, but I'm out of tile clips to attach the mags |
18:11 | <@randolph> | have you considered the stacked 1x2 plate mags that... Mantisking uses? |
18:11 | < afny> | they're blocky like ceds because they're motor based, but less russian |
18:11 | <@randolph> | they turn into bananaclips |
18:11 | < afny> | uhh I don't know what they look like |
18:11 | <@randolph> | sec |
18:11 | <@Ceddobear> | Afny, maybe try the Frontline series, then? |

18:46 | < afny> | nice |
18:46 | < afny> | that building is so crazy |
18:46 | < afny> | those masonry bricks |
18:47 | <@Ceddobear> | :D |
18:47 | <@Ceddobear> | I have no idea what's going on there. |
18:47 | <@Ceddobear> | There's tubes and antennas and stuff. |
18:48 | <@Ceddobear> | And solar panels. |
18:48 | <@Ceddobear> | I made so many containers. |
18:50 | < afny> | they're cool to have |
18:50 | < afny> | just scatter them on the table |
18:50 | < afny> | instant class |
18:50 | < afny> | urgh |
18:50 | < afny> | this last chub boss |
18:50 | < afny> | can't have hands |
18:50 | < afny> | I only have tile clips and rounds in orange and red |
18:50 | < afny> | and if I do that he just looks like a party clown |
18:51 | <@Ceddobear> | THEY CAUGHT HIM RED HANDED. |
18:51 | < afny> | oh, when I say |
18:51 | < afny> | orange and red |
18:51 | < afny> | I mean one orange |
18:51 | < afny> | and one red |
18:51 | < afny> | so they would catch him |
18:51 | < afny> | r |
18:51 | < afny> | ed and orange handed. |
18:51 | <@Ceddobear> | Oh. |
18:51 | <@Ceddobear> | That blows. |
18:51 | < afny> | i'll find a way to make him look cool |
18:51 | < afny> | help me wif build |
18:52 | < afny> | :A |
18:52 | <@Ceddobear> | Can you give him one red hand and somehow liberate a matching other tile clip? |
18:52 | < afny> | hm |
18:52 | < afny> | well |
18:52 | < afny> | even two red hands looks bad |
18:52 | < afny> | he's almost all bley |
18:52 | <@Ceddobear> | No, no. |
18:52 | < afny> | he has some yellow joints |
18:52 | <@Ceddobear> | One red, one bley. |
18:52 | < afny> | oh |
18:53 | < afny> | uh |
18:53 | < afny> | let me check |
18:53 | < afny> | nope |
18:53 | < afny> | my red frames don't have any to give up |
18:53 | <@Ceddobear> | Look for a bley tileclip. |
18:53 | < afny> | that's what I looked for |
18:54 | <@Ceddobear> | If need be, one bley 'frame gets an orange hand. |
18:54 | < afny> | that's DISGUSTING |
18:54 | <@Ceddobear> | It may be necessary. |
18:54 | < afny> | this chub is just going to have to not have hands |
18:54 | < afny> | it's fine |
18:54 | < afny> | I'll mount miniguns to him or something |
18:54 | <@Ceddobear> | Kk. |
18:54 | < afny> | I think I've changed my mind about the cane |
18:54 | < afny> | it's too ridiculous. The ring is ridiculous enough |
18:55 | < afny> | the other thing that sucks is I'm going to have to do all my shoulder mounts with plate clips |
18:55 | < afny> | instead of tile clips |
18:55 | < afny> | it could be worse, though |

18:58 | <@Ceddobear> | Serpent Legion. |
18:58 | < afny> | no, the black one |
18:58 | < afny> | what company is the black chub in |
18:58 | <@Ceddobear> | No company, he's just for shits and giggles. |
18:59 | < afny> | oh |
18:59 | <@Ceddobear> | To entertain me. |
18:59 | < afny> | I SEE. |
19:01 | < afny> | okay |
19:02 | < afny> | three giant revolvers done |
19:02 | <@Ceddobear> | YES |
19:02 | <@Ceddobear> | 100% approved. |
19:02 | < afny> | they're fucking great |
19:02 | < afny> | wait till you see |
19:02 | < afny> | hm |
19:02 | < afny> | what else |
19:02 | < afny> | need the tommy gun still |
19:04 | <@Ceddobear> | I am building stations. Making them more unique. |
19:04 | <@Ceddobear> | Throwing every random part that I can find at them. |
19:04 | < afny> | I keep meaning to do that |
19:04 | < afny> | and then I make frames |
19:04 | < afny> | make frames until my fingers bleed |
19:04 | < afny> | what do you think of that dice build |
19:04 | <@Ceddobear> | Ha! |
19:04 | < afny> | not enough spot? |
19:04 | <@Ceddobear> | Nah, that's fine. |
19:04 | <@Ceddobear> | You have 5 Captains. |
19:05 | < afny> | they are mob bosses after all |
19:06 | < afny> | hm |
19:06 | < afny> | the hardest one is the guy in red |
19:06 | < afny> | dunno how I'm going to give him 1 df |
19:06 | < afny> | a shoulder mount maybe |
19:07 | <@Ceddobear> | Sure, do that. Simple minigun. |
19:08 | < afny> | these revolvers are really grenade launchers |
19:09 | < afny> | hey, what did you use to get the godhand to grab |
19:09 | < afny> | like, the handle for that sword |
19:09 | <@Ceddobear> | You're prolly gonna laugh. |
19:09 | <@Ceddobear> | I opened the hand. |
19:09 | <@Ceddobear> | Wrapped the fingers around it. |
19:09 | <@Ceddobear> | And it held. |
19:09 | < afny> | what was it though |
19:09 | < afny> | just a brick? |
19:10 | <@Ceddobear> | Nah, a lightsabre handle. |
19:10 | < afny> | oh wow |
19:10 | <@Ceddobear> | Yeah., |
19:11 | < afny> | hm |
19:11 | < afny> | I realize ow |
19:11 | < afny> | now* |
19:12 | < afny> | B's on the chubs is a tall order |
19:12 | < afny> | it'll fuck up their outline |
19:12 | < afny> | maybe just binocs and a cannister |
19:12 | < afny> | call it smoke dispersal |
19:15 | <@Ceddobear> | I'll allow it. |
19:21 | < afny> | score |
19:21 | < afny> | found a few round 1x1s |
19:21 | < afny> | AND a black 1x2 brick for the black chub |
19:21 | < afny> | so he doesnt have grey in his torso |

19:25 | < afny> | GOOD, GOOD |
19:25 | < afny> | let the build FLOW through you. |
19:27 | < afny> | hurgh |
19:27 | < afny> | still only have three guns |
19:27 | < afny> | I tried to make a double barreled shotgun with this one weird technic piece |
19:27 | < afny> | but it was just too fiddly |
19:27 | <@Ceddobear> | You need more Vespine Gas. |
19:28 | < afny> | tell me about it |
19:28 | <@Ceddobear> | wELL; YOU DO: |
19:28 | < afny> | but Soren has already set up an expo at my nat |

19:28 | < afny> | HE'S BLOCKING ME WITH PYLONS |
19:28 | <@Ceddobear> | FUCK HIS PYLONS. |
19:28 | < afny> | I know right |
19:28 | <@Ceddobear> | Such a douchehammer. |
19:29 | < afny> | these guys are definitely hong kong style gangsters |
19:29 | < afny> | with a little bit out south american |
19:29 | < afny> | I think maybe no tommy gun |
19:31 | < afny> | hm |
19:31 | < afny> | I'm going to give the red guy a SPARE HEAD |
19:31 | <@Ceddobear> | I'mma take pics of these stations. |
19:31 | < afny> | do eet |
19:31 | <@Ceddobear> | So you can celebrate with me, the endless randomization. |
19:32 | < afny> | that's deep |

19:37 | <@Soren> | That was super mean |
19:38 | <@Ceddobear> | Mhmm? |
19:38 | < afny> | I'm not sure what's worse |
19:38 | < afny> | stepping out of your base and finding a pylon |
19:38 | < afny> | or a vulture |
19:38 | <@Ceddobear> | Ah, that. |
19:38 | <@Soren> | I think the expansion full of spider mines was worse. |
19:39 | <@Soren> | Somehow. |
19:39 | < afny> | yeah, that was bad |
19:39 | < afny> | I mean, pylons don't generally explode. |
19:40 | <@Soren> | no. |
19:41 | <@Soren> | Of course, if I'd been smart, I would have tried to mine more than just that. |
19:41 | <@Ceddobear> | Okay. |
19:41 | <@Ceddobear> | I just realized. |
19:41 | <@Ceddobear> | Open studs are mounting points, too. |

20:29 | < afny> | okay |
20:29 | | MittenNinja [MittenNinja@Nightstar-e709d0f9.tmodns.net] has joined #mf0 |
20:29 | < afny> | just need two more A systems for a Nimrod |
20:29 | < afny> | then I think I am done |
20:29 | <@Ceddobear> | Heya Greg. |
20:31 | < MittenNinja> | Heya |
20:31 | <@randolph> | ahahaha |
20:31 | <@randolph> | afny: the suitcase |
20:32 | <@randolph> | the suitcase makes it |
20:32 | < afny> | he's all business. |
20:32 | <@randolph> | Hey, you know, you could give these guys shades |
20:32 | < afny> | eh, too over the top |
20:32 | <@randolph> | take out one of the 2x2 round plates in the head, replace with 1x2 black plate, and 2x something else |
20:33 | <@randolph> | You have A FRAME SIZED SUITCASE |
20:33 | <@randolph> | You are telling me this is over the top |
20:33 | < afny> | They look cartoony, but I'm really trying to make them believable in the hard sci-fi setting |
20:33 | <@randolph> | One man is wearing marijuana brazillian dancer tail feathers. |
20:33 | < afny> | I mean, they're a flamboyant crime syndicate that's sort of operating with impunity on a colony that the SU doesn't have a lot of control over |
20:33 | < afny> | they're using stolen and illegally upgraded SU tech |
20:33 | < afny> | and they're making fun of it |
20:34 | < afny> | the revolvers are just grenade launchers |
20:34 | <@randolph> | yeah |
20:34 | < afny> | I mean |
20:34 | < afny> | I don't have any answer for the marijuana brazilian dancer tail feathers |
20:34 | < afny> | not at all |
20:35 | <@randolph> | (I'm blanking on the actual name, probably a good thing) |
20:35 | <@Ceddobear> | MittenNinja: http://www.mobileframehangar.com/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=1550 |
20:35 | < afny> | did you crop these? |
20:35 | <@randolph> | I like the black frame's feet |
20:35 | <@Ceddobear> | To 1150px width. |
20:35 | < afny> | they're more readable ow |
20:35 | < afny> | +n |
20:35 | < afny> | yeah, I tried to give him fancy shoes |
20:36 | <@randolph> | The plate tooth makes it look like he's got cowboy boots |
20:36 | <@randolph> | maybe replace the chub feet on him with plate tooth + 1x1 plate? |
20:36 | <@randolph> | To complete the toe? |
20:37 | < afny> | dont have any more plate teeth |
20:37 | <@Ceddobear> | That would be fuck awesome. |
20:37 | < MittenNinja> | Nice Ceddo. I dog that station |
20:37 | < afny> | these are like the end of my parts |
20:37 | <@Ceddobear> | NOES. |
20:37 | < afny> | you mean make it shorter by 1p |
20:37 | < MittenNinja> | And by dog I mean dig |
20:37 | < afny> | and instead of the headlight |
20:37 | < afny> | use plates and plate tooth |
20:37 | < afny> | to get like a saddle shoe look? |
20:37 | < afny> | that would be pretty awesome. |
20:37 | <@Ceddobear> | Greg: I assumed as much. :D |
20:38 | <@Ceddobear> | Unless you were requesting permission to dock. |
20:38 | <@Ceddobear> | Because, in that case, PERMISSION GRANTED. |
20:38 | <@Ceddobear> | Where's your pictures, Greggiepants? |
20:40 | < afny> | eh, for now I might leave this company at 7 |
20:40 | < afny> | the general consensus is that if you're going to go for less than a full company, to skimp on systems and not on frames, right? |
20:40 | < afny> | or are there two schools of thought in that regard? |
20:40 | <@Ceddobear> | Well, there's two approaches. |
20:41 | <@Ceddobear> | One is, you take max 'frames -1, -1 system. That's ideally the middle. Wonky bet. |
20:41 | <@randolph> | Depends if you want power or initiative, and where on that scale you want to sit |
20:41 | <@randolph> | That depends more on how badly your opponent needs initiative |
20:42 | <@Ceddobear> | Another one is, you take max. 'frames, min'frames*4-1 systems. That should almost always result in AV 5 and highest initiative. |
20:42 | <@Ceddobear> | And the third is, you underbid like crazy to get AV 7 and then subsequently get your ass handed to you and die a miserable, lonely death. |
20:42 | <@Ceddobear> | Especially in multiplayer. |
20:43 | <@randolph> | It's possible not to underbid like crazy and still get AV7 :p |
20:43 | <@Ceddobear> | Reliably? |
20:43 | <@randolph> | Really depends on the meta, which is pretty dependent on who you play with |
20:43 | <@Ceddobear> | So the answer is "No". ;= |
20:43 | <@Ceddobear> | If I know my meta, I can maximize like a baws. |
20:43 | <@Ceddobear> | Only to cause a meta-shift. |
20:44 | <@Ceddobear> | Which I can react to again. |
20:44 | <@Ceddobear> | Causing another shift. |
20:44 | <@randolph> | right |
20:44 | < afny> | so the only advantage to taking 7 fully loaded frames |
20:44 | <@Ceddobear> | Is having 7 fully loaded 'frames. |
20:44 | < afny> | is if you just want defense and you know your opponent has eight |
20:44 | <@randolph> | so if you bid min * 4 -1, the NEXT TIME it doesn't work |
20:45 | <@randolph> | Someone else will bid min * 4 -2, because you just posted about it |
20:45 | <@randolph> | There's no surefire way, you just have to read your buddies |
20:45 | <@randolph> | Or peek in their bags :x |
20:46 | < afny> | haha okay I solved the red guy's DF problem |
20:46 | < afny> | I just made his HEAD a turret |
20:46 | <@Ceddobear> | How? D: |
20:46 | <@Ceddobear> | ... |
20:46 | < afny> | he has a spare anyway. |
20:46 | <@Ceddobear> | The fuck. |
20:47 | < afny> | HAHAHAH. |
20:47 | < afny> | headgun. |
20:47 | <@Ceddobear> | Picturs. |
20:47 | < afny> | he's so stupidly top heavy |
20:47 | < afny> | I'm going to do individual shots and a group shot for flikr |
20:47 | < afny> | as soon as I'm done |
20:47 | < afny> | okay, so right now the five bosses are all |
20:48 | < afny> | DF/Y/Y/B |
20:48 | < afny> | and the two Nimrods are A/A/x/x |
20:48 | <@Ceddobear> | Sounds good. |
20:48 | < afny> | what should the X's be, though. G/B seems solid, but eh |
20:49 | <@Ceddobear> | Meh. |
20:49 | <@Ceddobear> | G B is your only option, really. |
20:50 | < afny> | I hate adding G's to nimrods |
20:53 | <@Ceddobear> | Wow. |
20:53 | <@Ceddobear> | I emptied out 4 entire sorting trays today. |
20:53 | <@Ceddobear> | Looks like I might start soon to migrate the Lime and Yellow into trays. |
20:55 | <@Ceddobear> | Alright. |
20:55 | <@Ceddobear> | I conclude. |
20:55 | <@Ceddobear> | 8x Ijad 'frames ready to go. |
20:55 | <@Ceddobear> | 8x TEM 'frames ready to go. (13th Guard) |
20:56 | <@Ceddobear> | 8x UMFL 'frames. (Serpent Legion) |
20:56 | <@Ceddobear> | 4x FC 'frames (VMC) |
20:56 | <@Ceddobear> | 3x Other 'frames. |
20:56 | < afny> | I'm SURPRISINGLY close to you |
20:56 | < afny> | o |
20:56 | < afny> | nly behind by 7 frames |
20:57 | <@Ceddobear> | So, what's next? Build up 6x Danni's Raiders. 90% of parts available. |
20:57 | < afny> | wait, the minxes? |
20:57 | < afny> | I thought you built them |
20:57 | <@Ceddobear> | Build up 4x VMC MgNs. Should arrive next week. |
20:57 | <@Ceddobear> | Not yet. |
20:57 | <@Ceddobear> | Might start tomorrow. Gotta see whether my recent building spree cut into their ressources. :D |
20:58 | <@Ceddobear> | (it most deffo did.) |
20:58 | < afny> | lol |
20:58 | < afny> | k, back in a bit, gonna shoot some pictures |
20:59 | < afny> | probably actually have a game to play on tuesday so I should really be making terrain |
21:03 | < Mantisking> | If you don't have any terrain, then now might be the time to make some. :P |
21:05 | <@randolph> | afny, if you change the cliptile in the black frame's neck to a white, you can have an actual white shirt+collar look |
21:16 | <@Ceddobear> | Mhmm. |
21:16 | <@Ceddobear> | Fireworks. |
21:16 | <@Ceddobear> | And cars honking. |
21:17 | <@Ceddobear> | I presume Germany won their European Championship game. |
21:17 | <@Ceddobear> | Ah, cars are forming into trecks. |
21:17 | <@Ceddobear> | Yupp, we won. |
21:17 | <@Ceddobear> | *glfclap* |
21:21 | <@randolph> | trecks? |
21:22 | <@Ceddobear> | Well, yeah. |
21:22 | <@Ceddobear> | Like cart wagons. |
21:22 | <@Ceddobear> | Car behind car, honking, lights flashing. |
21:22 | <@Ceddobear> | Convoys? |
21:22 | <@randolph> | caravans? |
21:22 | <@randolph> | congo lines? |
21:22 | <@randolph> | convoy works |
21:22 | <@Ceddobear> | Only with cars. |
21:22 | <@randolph> | I've never heard "treck" before |
21:22 | | * randolph looks |
21:22 | <@Ceddobear> | Ah, it's "trek". |
21:23 | <@Ceddobear> | That's why. |
21:23 | <@Ceddobear> | "Treck" is the German spelling. |
21:23 | <@randolph> | hm, in English, "trek" is "a journey" |
21:23 | <@randolph> | huh, it's from afrikaans |
21:23 | <@randolph> | Oh I see |
21:24 | <@Ceddobear> | The German word refers both to journey, but also how those journeys were - as in, the formation of a long line of "vehicles". |
21:24 | <@randolph> | It's similar to, but different etymology from tecken |
21:24 | <@randolph> | *trecken |
21:24 | <@Ceddobear> | Yeah. |
21:24 | <@Ceddobear> | Trekking, in English, I think. |
21:24 | <@randolph> | not quite |
21:24 | <@randolph> | The "pull" verb in German just didn't pass through into English at all |
21:24 | <@randolph> | *pull part fo the verb |
21:25 | <@randolph> | Only the "to move" part |
21:25 | <@randolph> | That's kinda neat |

21:39 | <@Ceddobear> | Randy, you there? |
21:41 | <@Ceddobear> | Or, anyone else. |
21:41 | <@Ceddobear> | What's the table size? |
21:42 | < afny> | 8 ruler units long |
21:42 | < Mantisking> | I'm here. |
21:42 | < afny> | Finished my pics: http://www.flickr.com/photos/kyanosmoros/sets/72157630027495085/with/7355381174/ |
21:44 | < CaGeRit> | Quick and semi-random question for anyone whose listening. How long is your direct fire range? I've been toying around with 18" my self. |
21:45 | <@Ceddobear> | 8 ruler units..? |
21:45 | <@Ceddobear> | GaGerit: I don't use any measure. |
21:45 | <@Ceddobear> | It's 8 1x4 hinge bricks for me. |
21:45 | <@Ceddobear> | Hinge bricks are wicked. |
21:45 | < CaGeRit> | lol |
21:46 | <@Ceddobear> | http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=30387 |
21:46 | <@Ceddobear> | These things. |
21:46 | <@Ceddobear> | You can measure around corners. |
21:46 | <@Ceddobear> | http://www.ced23ric.de/stuff/mf0/ruler_b2.png |
21:46 | < CaGeRit> | Yea, those are about 1 inch long. |
21:46 | <@Ceddobear> | Why even use inches? :D |
21:46 | <@Ceddobear> | You're coming from WH40k or something like that, eh? |
21:47 | <@Ceddobear> | And ... one inch is 2.54cm, if I recall correctly. |
21:47 | <@Ceddobear> | They're closer to 2 inches. |
21:48 | < CaGeRit> | I haven't played 40k since 4th ed. ATM I play dystopian wars (covenant of antarctica), dust warfare (SSU), Heavy gear blitz (WFPA), MF? (free colonies) and I jsut preordered me some Drop zone commander goodness. |
21:49 | < CaGeRit> | Oh and a skaven bloodbowl team and I'm doing an incredibly slow startup on anima tactics with black sun corperation. |
21:50 | <@Ceddobear> | Gotcha. |
21:50 | <@Ceddobear> | Well, try hinge bricks. |
21:50 | <@Ceddobear> | And throw off your shackles. :D |
21:51 | < afny> | if you have hinge bricks it does seem VERY unnecessary to use any real world unit of measure |
21:51 | < afny> | Ced, didja see the head turret |
21:51 | <@Ceddobear> | Bwahahahaha. |
21:51 | <@Ceddobear> | That's wicked. |
21:51 | < CaGeRit> | Heh, but if enough people went over to the hinge brick system, wouldn't that simply develop into its own measuring system given enough time? |
21:51 | <@Ceddobear> | WTF izzat? |
21:52 | < afny> | it's a 1x2 plate with bar and two round red 1x1 |
21:52 | < afny> | then a red clip tile |
21:52 | < afny> | and a half pin |
21:52 | <@Ceddobear> | CaGeRit: So, in other words, magic. |
21:52 | <@Ceddobear> | *afny |
21:52 | <@Ceddobear> | @ CaGeRit: Yeah, sure. |
21:52 | <@Ceddobear> | But it's universal. |
21:52 | < afny> | it is indeed magic |
21:52 | <@Ceddobear> | No metric/imperial mixup. |
21:53 | < CaGeRit> | The magic of unity through legos. |
21:53 | < afny> | these two are my favorite though |

22:01 | <@randolph> | Ced: I think skirmish is 32 diameter, dunno about full battle |
22:02 | <@Ceddobear> | Any idea where to look? |
22:02 | <@Ceddobear> | Because I wanna pick up that fabric idea. |
22:02 | <@randolph> | uh. |
22:03 | <@randolph> | post to rules forum for vincent and josh to answer is my onlyanswer |
22:03 | <@randolph> | or ask soren |
22:03 | <@randolph> | Wait, Mantis would know, if he's here |
22:04 | <@Ceddobear> | I am working on terrain additions right now. Lemme show you. |
22:04 | <@Ceddobear> | http://www.ced23ric.de/stuff/mf0/rockslab.png |
22:05 | < CaGeRit> | The demo rules say 4-6 ruler lengths |
22:05 | < CaGeRit> | So 24-48 hinge bricks. |
22:06 | <@Ceddobear> | 8 * 4 = 32 |
22:06 | < CaGeRit> | I'm awesome at math. |
22:06 | | Mantisking [rsbdnvbwein@Nightstar-da7fffe9.ma.comcast.net] has quit [Ping timeout: 121 seconds] |
22:08 | <@Ceddobear> | Aren't we all? |
22:08 | <@Ceddobear> | Anyway. |
22:08 | <@Ceddobear> | So 4 to 6 ruler lengths. |
22:08 | <@Ceddobear> | *looks at ruler* |
22:08 | <@Ceddobear> | 1.20m - 1.80m |
22:08 | <@Ceddobear> | (Or 4ft to 6ft...) |
22:09 | <@Ceddobear> | Pretty darn big. |
22:09 | < CaGeRit> | Sorry, had to go set up wii for nephews. |
22:10 | <@Ceddobear> | It's IRC, I don't expect answers. :D |
22:10 | < CaGeRit> | I think table setup is really dependent on the sort of terrain you use. If you were doing an urban setup with lots of vertical movement opertunities I'm suer you could have a 3 foot circle and be perfectly happy. |
22:11 | <@Ceddobear> | I beg to differ. |
22:11 | <@Ceddobear> | THe problem is how d6G / d8G works. |
22:11 | <@Ceddobear> | With movement systems, any obstacle is naught. |
22:11 | <@Ceddobear> | You run right through. |
22:12 | <@Ceddobear> | And if you do play in such an environment, not taking G will cost you the game. |
22:12 | < CaGeRit> | If you play the game as the rules are written down to the letter. There is always wiggle room in friendly games. |
22:12 | <@Ceddobear> | Mhmm, and do what? |
22:12 | <@Ceddobear> | I mean, you could have elevation. |
22:12 | <@Ceddobear> | And climb on that. |
22:13 | <@Ceddobear> | But, still, G moves really, really fast through cover. |
22:13 | <@Ceddobear> | So 3ft would mean that you can cross the table in almost 2 turns. |
22:13 | < CaGeRit> | Whats the difference between cover and somthing which entirly blocks the line of sight? |
22:13 | <@Ceddobear> | Actually, no. You can fire anywhere within one turn. |
22:14 | <@Ceddobear> | There is no LoS. :D |
22:15 | < CaGeRit> | So you can shoot through solid obstructions like, say a 10 meter thick concrete wall with the same penalties as shooting through say a shrubbery? |
22:15 | <@Ceddobear> | You are never gonna waste precious moments discussing LoS. Because there is no LoS. |
22:15 | <@Ceddobear> | Counter-argument: What do my vertical missiles care about at 10m wall ahead of me? |
22:15 | | afny|away is now known as afny |
22:15 | < CaGeRit> | see thats where friendly wiggle room comes in in friendly games |
22:16 | <@Ceddobear> | Well, but MFZ is the great equalizer. |
22:16 | <@Ceddobear> | There is no "HA I TOOK LRMS, INSTEAD OF A SNIPER RIFLE, SCREW YOU!" |
22:16 | < afny> | you'd have hard time making terrain/cover that didn't look like frames could shout through/around/over |
22:16 | <@Ceddobear> | Unless you build a 12m tall, 2m thick wall. |
22:16 | < afny> | Yea |
22:16 | <@Ceddobear> | Which would be fairly ... odd. |
22:17 | <@Ceddobear> | It'd be like 24 bricks tall and 4 thick. |
22:17 | < afny> | and fucking expensive |
22:17 | <@Ceddobear> | Or easy too shoot apart. :D |
22:17 | <@Ceddobear> | Because it's Duplo. |
22:18 | <@Ceddobear> | Derp. |
22:18 | < CaGeRit> | Oh, I'm sure, I just love urban engagements, the whole locking down lanes of fire and advancing under cover aspect is a lot of fun. A lot of that goes away when you can just shoot over/through a concrete parking structure. My group has been tinkering with the idea that you need LOS to shoot somthing unless its been tagged with sensors. |
22:18 | < afny> | haha yes |
22:18 | < CaGeRit> | As a house rule of course |
22:18 | < afny> | you're not thinking about the big picture |
22:18 | <@Ceddobear> | Have you guys played in thick cover yet? |
22:18 | < afny> | that will stillhappen |
22:18 | < afny> | because the frames you are shooting will be in cover |
22:18 | < CaGeRit> | Heres the idea. |
22:18 | < afny> | and if it's an urban chunky parking garage |
22:18 | < CaGeRit> | Its kinda long so gimme a sec. |
22:18 | < afny> | they will be in cover for a while |
22:18 | < afny> | if you build it |
22:19 | <@Ceddobear> | Think of John Cena. CAN'T SEE ME, CAN'T SEE ME! |
22:19 | < afny> | you really don't need LOS rules because the way the spot/cover system works, LOS is more or less built in |
22:19 | <@Ceddobear> | Exactly. I played a few bricked games, and boy, we had tons of fun eating through cover. |
22:19 | <@Ceddobear> | We sprayed bricks errywhere. |
22:20 | < afny> | the ruleset is so elegant, it takes pretty much any type of system, of cover, of communication into consideration and lets you play those scenarios out |
22:20 | < afny> | using only seven types of dice |
22:20 | < afny> | well, not counting the d8s |
22:20 | <@Ceddobear> | Well, I can see where CaGeRit is coming from. He's using a mindset from other games. |
22:21 | <@Ceddobear> | But those are actually not more detailed, but more cumbersome. |
22:21 | < afny> | All I'm saying is that just because there isn't a line of sight mechanic doesn't mean those considerations were omitted from the ruleset. |
22:21 | <@Ceddobear> | We're nodding into each others pocket, Kev. |
22:21 | < CaGeRit> | The idea is this, there are vertical launch systems, incredibly high callibur weapons that could penetrate most structures/things where frames hide behind. The thing is that if they don't know where exactly the frame they're attacking is the missles/bullets will hit. Making you have to tag it first with a sensor upgrade still allows you to shoot through buildings and such, but makes you do a little more legwork for it. |
22:21 | < afny> | Yeah I'm mostly still talking to him |
22:21 | < afny> | we're on the same page |
22:21 | < afny> | the same line, even |
22:22 | <@Ceddobear> | CaGeRit: That's already in the game. |
22:22 | <@randolph> | Cagerit |
22:22 | <@randolph> | d6 R - d6 B = 0 EV |
22:22 | <@randolph> | That's what it means if you don't spot |
22:22 | < afny> | every complex system interaction you can think of is represented by the interplay of spot, defense, movement, and three ranges of offense |
22:22 | <@Ceddobear> | Cover = 50% of all shots miss the target. You are blind firing. |
22:22 | <@randolph> | "can't hit shit if you don't spot unless you get damned lucky" is already part of the base assumption |
22:22 | <@Ceddobear> | Yeah. |
22:22 | <@Ceddobear> | It's already IN there. |
22:22 | < CaGeRit> | Ok I concede, we haven't been playing exactly right |
22:23 | < afny> | and damn elegantly too, without some appendix of weapon types |
22:23 | <@Ceddobear> | You are only drawing out the game with a second layer of cover. :D |
22:23 | <@randolph> | I suppose you haven't been following our more lengthy math posts |
22:23 | < CaGeRit> | I CONCEDE HERES MY WHITE FLAG MAKE THE LOGICAL SENSE STOP IT HURTS US |
22:23 | <@randolph> | and I don't blame you |
22:23 | <@Ceddobear> | LOL |
22:23 | <@Ceddobear> | NO YOU LISTEN. |
22:23 | <@randolph> | Sorry bro :( |
22:23 | < afny> | and the other thing that's so incredible (if you're playing with legos) is that the game terrain isn't just representative |
22:23 | <@randolph> | Stop it Ced, he's traumatized |
22:23 | < afny> | it's PART of the ruleset |
22:23 | <@randolph> | shh shhh |
22:23 | <@randolph> | there there |
22:23 | <@Ceddobear> | ATK + SPOT - DEF = DMG. |
22:23 | < CaGeRit> | We haven't been doing cover right so yea now that makes more sense. |
22:24 | <@Ceddobear> | Heh. :D |
22:24 | <@Ceddobear> | Cover means you hit only on a 6. |
22:24 | < CaGeRit> | A lot more sense lol. |
22:24 | <@randolph> | afk, continue the dogpile |
22:24 | <@randolph> | <_< |
22:24 | <@Ceddobear> | 4 and 5 hit the cover. |
22:24 | < afny> | unless it's a melee attack |
22:24 | <@Ceddobear> | 4 is resolved first, then 5, then 6. |
22:24 | <@Ceddobear> | Cover is reduced by 6 bricks per hit. |
22:24 | <@Ceddobear> | If cover is reduced below 2 bricks, it doesn't count anymore. |
22:24 | < afny> | 2 bricks or below* |
22:24 | < afny> | 2 bricks isn't cover |
22:24 | <@Ceddobear> | If there are still 5s left, those now do damage. |
22:25 | <@Ceddobear> | Yeah, 2 and lower. |
22:25 | <@Ceddobear> | Basically, you fire your gatling. |
22:25 | <@Ceddobear> | And it ROARS, eating through the brick wall. |
22:25 | <@Ceddobear> | But you need to chew through to see your target. :D |
22:25 | <@Ceddobear> | You can deliberately shoot cover, too. |
22:25 | < afny> | and you LITERALLY chew through the cover |
22:25 | <@Ceddobear> | You hit on a 3, 4, 5 and 6. |
22:25 | <@Ceddobear> | Very correct. Very literally. |
22:26 | <@Ceddobear> | You can read my bricked battle reports. |
22:26 | <@Ceddobear> | There's bricks flying erryhwere. ^^ |
22:26 | <@Ceddobear> | Seeberg had to wade through about 40 bricks or so. |
22:26 | <@Ceddobear> | Spent two turns with only 1W. |
22:27 | <@Ceddobear> | Kev, looksies. |
22:27 | <@Ceddobear> | http://www.ced23ric.de/stuff/mf0/rockslab.png |
22:27 | < CaGeRit> | We've skimmed the rules a few times and threw together some games. Some how we screwed up terrain rules where cover simply adds +1/+2 to the roll and only popped off 1 brick per hit. |
22:27 | <@Ceddobear> | CaGeRit: Oh noes. That explains it. :D |
22:27 | < afny> | this is pretty sick |
22:28 | < afny> | I'm definitely doing some stuff like this, but without the curved slopes |
22:28 | <@Ceddobear> | Rule of thumb: No fixed modifiers. It's a d6 or a d8. Never anything else. :) |
22:28 | < afny> | yeah, the ONLY additive quality in the game is spot+attack |
22:28 | < CaGeRit> | Its what you get when you play 5 or so systems, everything merges together lol. |
22:28 | <@Ceddobear> | Kev: I'm just trying it out right now. Checking what I can do. If I like it, I'll throw in a bricklink order for a few. |
22:28 | <@Ceddobear> | CaGeRit: Yeah, I hear ya. |
22:28 | <@Ceddobear> | I had to drop my 40k knowledge, too. |
22:28 | < afny> | you should try designing something that's the same as this, but vertical |
22:29 | <@Ceddobear> | Kev: You mean, a rocky hill, kinda thing? |
22:29 | < afny> | yeah |
22:29 | < CaGeRit> | You mean the space game? |
22:29 | < afny> | so it's thicker cover |
22:29 | <@Ceddobear> | With some serious elevation? |
22:29 | < afny> | yeah |
22:29 | < afny> | FOR THE CLIMBIN |
22:29 | <@Ceddobear> | CaGeRit: Well, Warhammer 40k / Warhammer Fantasy, where Bloodbowl comes from. |
22:29 | < afny> | also since you have minerals there |
22:29 | <@Ceddobear> | Space Marines and such. |
22:29 | < afny> | do a vespine gas vent |
22:29 | <@Ceddobear> | FUCK. |
22:29 | <@Ceddobear> | YOU ARE SO RIGHT. |
22:29 | <@Ceddobear> | I TOTALLY NEED A MINERALS FIELD. |
22:29 | < afny> | heh |
22:29 | <@Ceddobear> | And a vespine vent. |
22:30 | <@Ceddobear> | Challenge accepted. |
22:30 | < afny> | and a gateway |
22:30 | <@Ceddobear> | *salute* |
22:30 | < afny> | to block your goons |
22:30 | <@Ceddobear> | Gateway? D: |
22:30 | < afny> | WOW BUDDY |
22:30 | < afny> | it's a protoss infantry building |
22:30 | < CaGeRit> | Fuck your mountains we have dug up the reamins of Hermann von Barth who will lead us to the top of your scraggy slope and stick a grenade down your airpipe. |
22:30 | <@Ceddobear> | Oh, THAT. |
22:30 | <@Ceddobear> | CaGeRit: WHAT. |
22:30 | <@Ceddobear> | My mountains are pristine. |
22:30 | <@Ceddobear> | And sacred. |
22:30 | < CaGeRit> | not after hermann von barth is through with them. |
22:31 | < CaGeRit> | He'll get all up in there and document everything. |
22:31 | <@Ceddobear> | WHILE WRITING AN ESSAY ON CONTEMPORARY JUDICATIVE M.O. |
22:31 | <@Ceddobear> | He's a dick. |
22:31 | <@Ceddobear> | I hate that guy. |
22:32 | < CaGeRit> | He has taken note of your hatred and written it in his journal. |
22:32 | < CaGeRit> | He is currently buying supplies and recruiting men to scale your mountains. |
22:33 | < CaGeRit> | Hmm zombie Herman von Barth.... Not sure how, but I will write that into my factions background. |
22:33 | < CaGeRit> | anywhat I have dinner to consume, catcha later. |
22:34 | <@Ceddobear> | Laterers. |
22:34 | <@Ceddobear> | Kev"! |
22:35 | <@Ceddobear> | http://www.ced23ric.de/stuff/mf0/minerals.png |
22:35 | <@Ceddobear> | Like so? :D |
22:35 | < afny> | heh |
22:35 | <@Ceddobear> | Now, some vespine vents. |
22:35 | <@Ceddobear> | *rubs chin* |
22:35 | <@Ceddobear> | That one |
22:35 | <@Ceddobear> | Is gonna be tougher. |
22:35 | < afny> | yeah, nothing springs to mind |
22:36 | < afny> | might have to sculpt it out of slopes and cheese |
22:36 | <@Ceddobear> | http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive/18913997/images/1335763625017.jpg |
22:40 | <@Ceddobear> | *sculpts away* |
22:44 | <@Ceddobear> | I am onto something. |
22:56 | <@randolph> | Probes |
22:56 | <@randolph> | moar probes |
23:00 | <@Ceddobear> | Dude. |
23:00 | <@Ceddobear> | I think I am a cunthair away from killing the LDD renderer. |
23:03 | <@Ceddobear> | http://www.ced23ric.de/stuff/mf0/vespene.png |
23:03 | <@Ceddobear> | Whaddaya think? |
23:03 | <@Ceddobear> | http://www.ced23ric.de/stuff/mf0/vespene2.png |
23:03 | <@Ceddobear> | Better angle. |
23:04 | < afny> | not tall enough to be cover |
23:04 | < afny> | but not bad |
23:04 | < afny> | clear bricks are so confusing in ldd |
23:06 | <@Ceddobear> | Well, it's not meant to be cover. |
23:06 | <@Ceddobear> | It's pure cosmetic terrain. |
23:06 | < afny> | buuuut it could be boooth |
23:06 | < afny> | I guess if it was cover you'd have to rebuild it all the time |
23:07 | <@Ceddobear> | ... exactly. |
23:07 | <@Ceddobear> | It's also meant to be attached to bigger slabs of rock. |
23:07 | <@Ceddobear> | That's really just the vents. |
23:07 | <@Ceddobear> | I'll get on that in a few. *yawns* |
23:08 | <@Ceddobear> | Maybe go for another smoke first. |
23:09 | < afny> | I really can't tell if the gas is bubbling out or totally flat |
23:09 | < afny> | it's so clear |
23:09 | < afny> | but they look cool |
23:10 | < afny> | I'm headed out to get some dinner, so goodnight if you go to sleep before I get back |
23:10 | < afny> | otherwise, o7 |
23:10 | | afny is now known as afny|away |

23:41 | < MoF0-8164> | Did you guys ever get an answer to that question? |
23:47 | <@randolph> | hey guys |
23:49 | <@randolph> | Ced: Hm, I think it looks more like a yawning vat of acid |
23:49 | | MoF0-8164 is now known as Mantisking |
23:49 | <@randolph> | Which is cool |
23:49 | < Mantisking> | Hey. |
23:50 | <@randolph> | But I think you need more tectonic-convergence-looking vents |
23:50 | <@Ceddobear> | http://www.ced23ric.de/stuff/mf0/minerals_vespene.png |
23:50 | <@randolph> | 404 |
23:50 | <@Ceddobear> | Sec. |
23:50 | <@randolph> | kk |
23:51 | <@Ceddobear> | Try again. |
23:52 | <@randolph> | The gas is great, the rock texture is great, I'm just super not-sold on the vents - they look like industrial fan mounts |
23:52 | < Mantisking> | That's an interesting chunk of microscale. |
23:53 | <@Ceddobear> | MK: Trying to build Vespene Vents and Mineral fields. |
23:53 | <@Ceddobear> | Dunno if you ever played Starcraft. |
23:53 | <@Ceddobear> | But basically, this: http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive/18913997/images/1335763625017.jpg |
23:53 | <@Ceddobear> | Randy: It's hard to do rounds. |
23:54 | <@Ceddobear> | As in, tectonically sound vents. |
23:54 | <@Ceddobear> | Geysirs, if you will. |
23:54 | <@Ceddobear> | Because, it either is smooth outside and bricky inside ... or the other way around. |
23:54 | <@Ceddobear> | Those 3 different arch sizes is all I got. |
23:55 | <@randolph> | I know :| |
23:55 | <@randolph> | I'm not saying I have a solution |
23:55 | <@randolph> | I'm saying "this is what I think" |
23:55 | <@randolph> | Hm, maybe adapt some of the architecture from the yurts? |
23:55 | <@Ceddobear> | So you're what you're sayin' is what you're sayin'. |
23:55 | <@Ceddobear> | *sayin' |
23:55 | <@randolph> | I'm just sayin' I'm sayin', you know what I'm sayin'? |
23:56 | <@Ceddobear> | Totes McGoats. |
23:56 | <@randolph> | Totally dig the mineral field though |
23:56 | <@randolph> | I want to see if I can make a convincing SCV |
23:56 | <@randolph> | (at scale) |
23:57 | <@randolph> | I *think* my Slithers are too big to be Hydralisks... right? |
