| 00:00 | <@Ced23Ric> | I left the country, man. I lived 1.5 years in Canada, trying to find a way to cope. |
| 00:00 | <@Ced23Ric> | Luckily, it worked. |
| 00:00 | <+FerrelFerret> | that's good. |

| 00:30 | <+_calculus> | afny: You play SC2? |
| 00:30 | < afny> | nope |
| 00:30 | < afny> | practicing brood war |
| 00:30 | <+_calculus> | Lol |
| 00:30 | < afny> | As soon as I get 60 bucks I'm going to get SC2 |
| 00:30 | < afny> | but for now I just play against Soren and he kicks my ass |

| 00:31 | <+_calculus> | I've got zero skill in brood wa |
| 00:31 | <+_calculus> | r |
| 00:31 | < afny> | I keep forgetting to DL the terran only 3 map preview |
| 00:31 | < afny> | of SC2 |
| 00:31 | <+_calculus> | can't stand the small screen size |
| 00:31 | <+_calculus> | Yeah,t he preview is good |
| 00:31 | < afny> | I play on my smallest monitor |
| 00:31 | < afny> | by choice |
| 00:31 | <+_calculus> | *nods* |
| 00:31 | <+_calculus> | less eye movement? |
| 00:31 | < afny> | yeah |
| 00:31 | <+_calculus> | I should try that |
| 00:31 | < afny> | prolly do the same with SC2 |
| 00:31 | <+_calculus> | I play on 30" |
| 00:31 | <+_calculus> | and have problems knowing what is going on. |
| 00:32 | < afny> | well I do it out of necessity mainly |
| 00:32 | < afny> | cause I run BC on my mac |
| 00:32 | < afny> | which is just an older macbook |
| 00:32 | < afny> | so if I run two monitors from it it gets a little laggy |
| 00:32 | < afny> | I hope that it can run SC2 at medium |
| 00:32 | < afny> | my PC is pretty decent with the exception of only having two gigs of ram |
| 00:32 | <@Ced23Ric> | 30" ! |
| 00:32 | < afny> | but it has the annoying habit of powering off at randon times |
| 00:32 | <@Ced23Ric> | Do you sit like 2m away? |
| 00:33 | <+_calculus> | Ced23Ric: I wrote code all day |
| 00:33 | <@Ced23Ric> | From 2m away? |
| 00:33 | <+_calculus> | No, regular distace |
| 00:33 | <@Ced23Ric> | Haha. Madman. |
| 00:33 | <@Ced23Ric> | At 24", I am already a good meter and then some away from the screen. |
| 00:33 | <+_calculus> | afny: power offs in game would be lame |
| 00:33 | < afny> | I think it's just because my C drive is in the process of failing |
| 00:34 | <@Ced23Ric> | What Kevin needs are Battle 'Mech controls. |
| 00:34 | < afny> | that doesn't sound conducive to SC |
| 00:34 | <+_calculus> | Ced23Ric: well, the monitor is split into several zones. Altough I switch between them every fifteen seconds or so, I'm always working one at a time |

| 00:35 | <@Ced23Ric> | Heya TJ. |
| 00:35 | <+_calculus> | Greetings Tetrajak |
| 00:35 | < afny> | o/ |
| 00:36 | <+_calculus> | afny: SC:BW race? |
| 00:37 | <@Ced23Ric> | I wonder if you could bild a fully articulate cockpitted 7p 'frame that has furthermore the ability to kneel down and let a pilot in/out. |
| 00:37 | <@Ced23Ric> | Or even better, the cockpit lid folds forward, turning into a ladder ... |
| 00:38 | <@Ced23Ric> | Or it opens two ways. Bottom goes down (ladder), top goes up. |
| 00:38 | <@Ced23Ric> | *rubs chin* |
| 00:39 | | * _calculus gone |
| 00:40 | < afny> | I was starting dinner |
| 00:40 | < afny> | uhh I'm playing protoss right now |
| 00:40 | < afny> | but I don't consider myself to have a race |
| 00:40 | < afny> | I'm like super super novice |
| 00:41 | <~Noah> | afny: Heads or tails? |
| 00:41 | < afny> | ...tails? |
| 00:41 | | * Ced23Ric doesn't have a race out of principle, but fluffwise, is somewhere between 'toss and Terrans. |
| 00:41 | <~Noah> | Okay, so on a coin flip, you have a preference, but not with SC races? |
| 00:41 | <@Ced23Ric> | But I don't play much Warhammercraft 40k. |
| 00:41 | < afny> | a coin flip is chance |

| 00:41 | < afny> | SC races aren't coin-flippy despite what forumgoers might say |
| 00:41 | <@Ced23Ric> | His answer had no influence on the outcome. |
| 00:42 | < afny> | ^ |
| 00:42 | <+Tetrajak> | hey peeps |
| 00:42 | <~Noah> | Or DID it? |
| 00:42 | <@Ced23Ric> | And the coin is perfectly balanced. ^^ |
| 00:42 | | Tetrajak is now known as Tetrajak|work |
| 00:42 | <~Noah> | Or IS it? |
| 00:42 | <@Ced23Ric> | Hey Soren. |
| 00:42 | <@Soren> | hey |
| 00:42 | <@Ced23Ric> | FUCK YOUR COIN, OKAY? |
| 00:42 | <@Ced23Ric> | The gum you put on there don't count. |
| 00:42 | <~Noah> | Or DOES it? |
| 00:42 | <@Ced23Ric> | God DAMN it. |
| 00:42 | <@Ced23Ric> | ... "Or DID he?" |
| 00:43 | <~Noah> | nope |
| 00:43 | <@Ced23Ric> | I give up. |
| 00:43 | <~Noah> | Or DO you? |
| 00:43 | <@Ced23Ric> | I go back to my cozy world of stupid designs. |
| 00:43 | <@Ced23Ric> | I really wanna build a working 7p cockpitted 'frame that can into embark mode. |
| 00:43 | <@Ced23Ric> | +go |
| 00:44 | < afny> | Hey Soren, did you ever snap a pic of that cargo create design you were talking about? |
| 00:44 | <@Soren> | couldn't find it. |
| 00:44 | < afny> | Baw. |
| 00:44 | <@Soren> | You guys will have to wait for September. |
| 00:44 | < afny> | I'll just make do with my simple 2x brick/plate/tile crates |
| 00:44 | <@Soren> | whatever works! |
| 00:44 | < afny> | I got some purple 2x6 plates for PURPLE STRIPES |
| 00:44 | <@Soren> | yay |
| 00:48 | < CaGeRit> | I'm back, what did I miss |
| 00:49 | <~Noah> | I trolled Ced23Ric a little, and did nothing productive |
| 00:49 | <@Ced23Ric> | September? |
| 00:49 | <@Ced23Ric> | Are you gonna be gome for 3 months? |
| 00:50 | <@Ced23Ric> | *gone |
| 00:50 | <@Soren> | packing stuff up to be shipped to me. |
| 00:50 | <@Soren> | can't ship unitl I have an address. |
| 00:50 | <@Soren> | until* |
| 00:51 | < CaGeRit> | Grr... Where is the T peg thing used for making knees in LDD? |

| 00:53 | <+Tetrajak|work> | CaGe: under technic gears |
| 00:53 | <+FerrelFerret> | Sorry, compy was bugging out for a bit. :? |
| 00:53 | < CaGeRit> | Ahh thx. |
| 00:53 | < CaGeRit> | There it is. |
| 00:54 | < CaGeRit> | Nothing much, I'm just designing a SCV inspired paratrooper frame. |
| 00:55 | < afny> | that's pretty mean |
| 00:55 | <@Ced23Ric> | Mhmm. |
| 00:55 | < afny> | spend all that time and money to air drop...an scv. |
| 00:55 | <@Ced23Ric> | Smoke, bed. Sounds like the way to go. |
| 00:55 | < afny> | don't smoke IN bed |
| 00:55 | <@Ced23Ric> | Hey, SCVs are awesome. |
| 00:55 | <@Ced23Ric> | They BUILD stuff. |
| 00:55 | <@Soren> | also, super tough. |
| 00:55 | < CaGeRit> | Mine don't. |
| 00:55 | < CaGeRit> | They drop in turbo boost over and shoot things. |
| 00:56 | <@Soren> | they beat the shit out of Zerglings. Shockingly. |
| 00:56 | < CaGeRit> | Statted out they should have 2 green, 2 red drect fire and 1 open system, for spotting, melee weapons, ect. |
| 00:56 | <@Soren> | handy |
| 00:57 | <@Soren> | I'm still not convinced two green dice is a good idea, but that doesn't seem like a bad way to use them. |
| 00:58 | < CaGeRit> | Heh, I'm working them in as a sort of specialized frame, somthing like spec ops in my faction. Not pure gaming, you know. |
| 00:58 | <@Soren> | sure |
| 01:00 | <@Ced23Ric> | Uhm. |
| 01:00 | <+Tetrajak|work> | So, I have an idea to pose to you all |
| 01:00 | <@Ced23Ric> | Mixing Melee/Direct-Fire is suboptimal. |
| 01:00 | <@Ced23Ric> | Either system is a waste next to the other. |
| 01:01 | <@Ced23Ric> | If you go GG, might aswell go H G G B, and have a hard hitter in Melee. |
| 01:01 | <@Ced23Ric> | Hard and fast. |
| 01:01 | <@Ced23Ric> | Although that's a lot of G. |
| 01:01 | < CaGeRit> | Mixing as in using split systems, or mixing as in having a dedicated direct and dedicated melee? |
| 01:01 | <+Tetrajak|work> | I want to make a set of 3 companies that are balanced, and easy to play with, which, in a 1v1 between any of them, they each have an equal chance to win |
| 01:01 | <@Ced23Ric> | H H G B might be better. |
| 01:01 | <@Ced23Ric> | TJ: So, 2 Big Gun, 4 Soldier, 2 Arty. :D |
| 01:01 | < CaGeRit> | Also question, can G still be used for defence rolls? |
| 01:01 | < afny> | HYGB is also really strng |
| 01:01 | <@Ced23Ric> | G was never used for Def. |
| 01:02 | < CaGeRit> | I thought it could be used to dodge |
| 01:02 | <@Ced23Ric> | Nah. |
| 01:02 | < afny> | nope |
| 01:02 | < afny> | you can use jump jets as a B system if you want |
| 01:02 | <@Ced23Ric> | That's a rule proposition. |
| 01:02 | < CaGeRit> | Back in the mechaton-era rules. |
| 01:02 | < afny> | but you can't role them as a G |
| 01:02 | < afny> | if you do that |
| 01:02 | <@Ced23Ric> | Not anymore. |
| 01:02 | <@Ced23Ric> | B is B. |
| 01:02 | <@Ced23Ric> | G is G. |
| 01:02 | <+Tetrajak|work> | Ced: hmm, maybe. I also need 2 others that are different, but still balanced versus the others |
| 01:03 | <+Tetrajak|work> | These companies are for introducing people to MFZ |
| 01:03 | <+Tetrajak|work> | so have to allow for some mistakes |
| 01:03 | <@Ced23Ric> | In that case, try also 2 Captains, 6 Slashers. |
| 01:03 | <+Tetrajak|work> | slashers? |
| 01:03 | <@Ced23Ric> | So, 2x DF Y Y B and 6 x H G. |
| 01:04 | <@Ced23Ric> | Or 3x H G and 3x H G B. |
| 01:04 | <@Ced23Ric> | Or 3x H H G and 3x H G B. |
| 01:04 | <@Ced23Ric> | H G is the core. |
| 01:04 | <@Ced23Ric> | The goal is underbid, Def, overwhelm. 2 'frames dead turn 1 is what you want. |
| 01:05 | < afny> | that's sort of what I'd say to |
| 01:05 | < CaGeRit> | See, I just like to make cool stuff and throw dice at it. |
| 01:05 | < afny> | I'd say make the lowest initiative team a really redundant direct fire/artillery range team |
| 01:05 | < afny> | make the middle team direct fire focused with maybe a few more greens than blues |
| 01:05 | <@Ced23Ric> | <@Ced23Ric> TJ: So, 2 Big Gun, 4 Soldier, 2 Arty. :D <--? :D |
| 01:05 | < afny> | and make the defenders melee and df focused, MAYBE even with double blues on the melee |
| 01:05 | <@Ced23Ric> | HURGH. |
| 01:06 | <@Ced23Ric> | BB still makes me shiver with disgust. |
| 01:06 | < afny> | it's sort of a necessity when you're the defender and you're melee |
| 01:06 | <@Ced23Ric> | Absolutely not. |
| 01:06 | < afny> | or else moving in to attack means you will be fucked no matter who the third player attacks |
| 01:06 | <@Ced23Ric> | Dead things don't hit you back. |
| 01:06 | < afny> | no, but the third guy shooting both of you and not really caring who he hits |
| 01:06 | < afny> | hits you back, even when he's AIMING for the other guy |
| 01:07 | < afny> | because of the way frames as cover works |
| 01:07 | <@Ced23Ric> | Truth. |
| 01:07 | <@Ced23Ric> | I see your point. |
| 01:07 | <@Ced23Ric> | Way too expensive, though. |
| 01:07 | < afny> | hm, not really |
| 01:07 | < afny> | if you're the defender, extra G's aren't that important |
| 01:07 | <@Ced23Ric> | 2 systems, on, say, 3 'frames? |
| 01:07 | <@Ced23Ric> | Of course they are. |
| 01:07 | <@Ced23Ric> | Threat bubble mitigation. |
| 01:07 | < afny> | for a skirmish team you could run three HYBB each with an SSR |
| 01:07 | <@Ced23Ric> | You don't need average speed. You need burst speed. |
| 01:07 | < afny> | and two DF DF Y B |
| 01:08 | <@Ced23Ric> | The SSR is wasted on H, rather put it on DF. |
| 01:08 | <@Ced23Ric> | Also, you need Y Y, for hotspot chaining. |
| 01:08 | < afny> | well the idea is to fire them all at once when you still have initiative |
| 01:08 | < afny> | and you don't need hotspot chaining if you can hold on to your assets |
| 01:08 | <@Ced23Ric> | Meh. |
| 01:08 | <@Ced23Ric> | Hotspot chaining is always usefull. |
| 01:08 | < afny> | I agree it's always useful |
| 01:09 | <@Ced23Ric> | Thanks. :D |
| 01:09 | < afny> | but I don't think it's always necessary, especially in Skirmishes |
| 01:09 | < afny> | or in three way skirmishes |
| 01:09 | < afny> | OR for comps that are melee heavy |
| 01:09 | <@Ced23Ric> | Well, in Skrims, you have only two hotspots, really. |
| 01:09 | < afny> | in a 3way skirm I think the attacker will definitely benefit from YY chaining |
| 01:09 | <@Ced23Ric> | Anywho. Smoke is done, time for bed. |
| 01:10 | < afny> | o7 |
| 01:10 | <@Ced23Ric> | TJ: Want me to shoot you a PM later? |
| 01:10 | < afny> | I salute your sleepytime |
| 01:10 | <@Ced23Ric> | I could cook something up, if you like me to. |
| 01:11 | <@Ced23Ric> | 3 player skirmish or full scale? |
| 01:12 | < afny> | I'm not him but I bet it's skirmish, I've been told that a "teaching game" for 3 with min frames can take 4+ hours |
| 01:12 | < afny> | it would be GRUELING with 8 frames per |
| 01:13 | <@Ced23Ric> | Heh. Danni and I started with 3 vs 4. :D |
| 01:13 | < afny> | yeah, seems logical |
| 01:13 | <@Ced23Ric> | And the first game took us nigh-on 2 hours. |
| 01:13 | <@Ced23Ric> | Second game went something shy of 90 minutes. |
| 01:13 | <@Soren> | zoom! |
| 01:13 | <@Ced23Ric> | Then we played a 6 on 5, and it went for ~2h. |

| 01:14 | <@Ced|ChasingMorpheus> | Soren! |
| 01:14 | <@Ced|ChasingMorpheus> | Still want me to mail to that addres or hold for now? |
| 01:15 | < CaGeRit> | Heres a question for you who have the number game figured out. Is it worth investing two systems into A: a split arty/driect fire weapon and B a dedicated melee weapon, basicaly pop shots off in near any range while closing to wallop stuff? |
| 01:15 | <@Soren> | hold for now, i think. |
| 01:15 | <@Ced|ChasingMorpheus> | K, holding. |
| 01:15 | <@Soren> | thanks! |
| 01:15 | <@Ced|ChasingMorpheus> | Cage: A/DF Y Y b or G works great. Can attack at every range. |
| 01:15 | <@Ced|ChasingMorpheus> | (W is also HtH) |
| 01:16 | <@Ced|ChasingMorpheus> | But dedicated DF x x x or even DF DF x x deals more consistent damage. |
| 01:16 | <@Ced|ChasingMorpheus> | DF is also the strongest range. |
| 01:16 | <@Ced|ChasingMorpheus> | And A is a nice support weapon, but not mandatory. |
| 01:16 | <@Ced|ChasingMorpheus> | H is a very specific case that doesn't work "on the side". |
| 01:17 | <@Ced|ChasingMorpheus> | H requires dedication. |
| 01:17 | <@Ced|ChasingMorpheus> | So, hope this helps. |
| 01:17 | <@Ced|ChasingMorpheus> | PS: Spot is damage. ;) |
| 01:17 | < CaGeRit> | Ahh, thx. |
| 01:17 | < CaGeRit> | Also, if I put a DF weapon on a frame and it gets blown off, can I still make DF attacks with white dice, or is that option gone now? |
| 01:17 | <@Ced|ChasingMorpheus> | Gone now. |
| 01:17 | < CaGeRit> | I see. |
| 01:18 | <@Ced|ChasingMorpheus> | You need the weapon as a range enabler. |
| 01:18 | <@Ced|ChasingMorpheus> | But you also gain the d8G if you lose your ranged weapons. |
| 01:18 | <@Ced|ChasingMorpheus> | So sometimes bolting for a station or cover might be worth it, especially late game. |
| 01:18 | <@Ced|ChasingMorpheus> | Protip: SSR count as range enabler the turn they are used. |
| 01:19 | < CaGeRit> | SSR? |
| 01:19 | <@Ced|ChasingMorpheus> | So you can replace a d8Rr of 2 with a d6W of 6. |
| 01:19 | < CaGeRit> | oh single shot rocket |
| 01:19 | < afny> | They do? So you can use your whites to boost an SSR? |
| 01:19 | <@Ced|ChasingMorpheus> | Single Shot Rockets. |
| 01:19 | <@Ced|ChasingMorpheus> | Yupp, totes can. |
| 01:19 | < afny> | nice, wasn't sure |
| 01:19 | < afny> | then I DO think ssr is good on melee |
| 01:19 | <@Ced|ChasingMorpheus> | Because you can use the d6W for a higher EV? |
| 01:19 | < afny> | I was talking to Soren about that a while ago, and my opinion of it pretty much hinged on the whites |
| 01:19 | < afny> | yeah |
| 01:19 | <@Ced|ChasingMorpheus> | Well, there you go. |
| 01:20 | <@Ced|ChasingMorpheus> | Okay, I would chat with you guys all night, but that Morpheus ain't gonna chase himself. |
| 01:20 | <@Ced|ChasingMorpheus> | I'll be back up in like 5h. *waves* |
| 01:20 | < afny> | o/ |
| 01:30 | <@Soren> | Yeah, I view SSRs as essential to melee designs |
| 01:30 | <@Soren> | just a good little back-the-fuck-off package to make them more survivable |

| 02:30 | < Dukayn> | yeah that happens sometimes |
| 02:30 | <+Tetrajak|away> | it always happens after about 12pm my time, so 12am GMT |
| 02:32 | < afny> | So did you decide about your company comps TJ? |
| 02:34 | <+Tetrajak|away> | the 3 I was talking about before? |
| 02:34 | <+Tetrajak|away> | no |
| 02:34 | <+Tetrajak|away> | but I've taken Ced's suggestions anyway |
| 02:35 | < afny> | to have the underbidding melee as defenders? |
| 02:35 | <+Tetrajak|away> | I want to build 3 companies, each one being balanced versus each other, and each one being easy to understand and use, and allowing for the making of mistakes |
| 02:35 | <+Tetrajak|away> | afny: both of the companies he suggested. One was a mixed range company, the other was the under-bidding melee |
| 02:36 | <+Tetrajak|away> | I really want these three companies for demoing MFZ |
| 02:36 | < afny> | yeah, the other one was his standard split |
| 02:36 | < afny> | YY Df units, DFDF units, and arty |
| 02:36 | < afny> | You're doing Skirmish size, right? |
| 02:37 | <+Tetrajak|away> | yea, I plan on demoing on skirmish scale |
| 02:39 | <+Tetrajak|away> | I mostly asked the channel to see if anyone had any ideas |
| 02:39 | | Tetrajak|away is now known as Tetrajak|work |
| 02:39 | < afny> | On the topic of the underbidding melee company: http://www.mobileframehangar.com/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=1399&start=60#p10419 |
| 02:40 | < afny> | I'd consider this. In a demo situation where you KNOW the melee team will be the defenders, you don't have to "underbid" by more than a system if you so choose |
| 02:40 | < afny> | and your company only needs to be optimized to go on the offensive if they lose initiative, so I don't think green should be quite as highly valued |
| 02:41 | < afny> | as for a third company, you could try something like Soren's Moon Fang Tribe |
| 02:41 | <+Tetrajak|work> | haven't seen it, admittedly |
| 02:41 | < afny> | which uses three HtH Y Y B scouts |
| 02:42 | < afny> | It's normally a 7 frame company I think, but for a skirmish |
| 02:42 | < afny> | you could do DF DF Y B x2 and A A G B |
| 02:42 | < afny> | he also suggests putting the SSRs on the melee scouts |
| 02:42 | < afny> | the idea is to go all in for station pushes |
| 02:43 | < afny> | the most important thing is to not get your melee scouts caught in the crossfire when you take initiative |
| 02:43 | < afny> | thus the B's |
| 02:43 | < afny> | the idea as I understand it is |
| 02:44 | < afny> | you run in and try to take an early advantage by spotting for your DF/A frames as your HtH scouts move in |
| 02:44 | < afny> | then you take objectives or break weak groups with the HtH attack (after volleying your SSRs on approach) |
| 02:45 | <+Tetrajak|work> | thanks for that :D |
| 02:45 | <+Tetrajak|work> | I will experiment with these three and see if I can balance them out |
| 02:45 | < afny> | they're three pretty different playstyles |
| 02:45 | < afny> | so it should be interesting at least |
| 02:49 | <+Tetrajak|work> | awesome :D |
| 02:49 | <+Tetrajak|work> | I'll run some sim's with them on a 1v1 basis to test their balance |
| 02:51 | < afny> | I know it's more of a time investment, but if you really want to get an idea for it, you should just commit to a 3 company sim |
| 02:52 | < afny> | because things change SO MUCH when you have two people teamed up against the player with initiative |
| 02:52 | < afny> | one company might SUCK at 1v1, but be incredible and waiting out a chance to take initiative and then striking |
| 02:52 | < afny> | at waiting* |
| 02:55 | <+Tetrajak|work> | hmm, you make a fair point |
| 02:55 | <+Tetrajak|work> | I have yet to understand the nuances of a 3v3 battle, so I will run said sim |
| 02:56 | <+Tetrajak|work> | if anything, it will save me time rather than increase it :D |
| 02:56 | < afny> | there are a lot of nuances in 3v3 which come into play especially when there are hand to hand units |
| 02:57 | < afny> | even before you consider stuff like abrupt switches in intitiave/victory score, you've got situations where, say, one attacker and the defender are going at it with HtH units |
| 02:57 | < afny> | and the other attacker, while sort of "allied" with the first, is firing into the melee at range and abusing the frames as cover mechanic |
| 02:58 | < afny> | that ranged attacker has a great tactical position in that situation, because if EITHER the target or the covering frame takes damage |
| 02:58 | < afny> | he comes out ahead |
| 03:02 | <+Tetrajak|work> | interesting |
| 03:02 | <+Tetrajak|work> | I will definitely enjoy the learning involved in running a 3vs3 battle sim :D |
| 03:03 | < afny> | another thing I would suggest |
| 03:03 | < afny> | partially from a fluff perspective and partially from a gameplay one |
| 03:03 | < afny> | is when you build and set up your terrain for the 3v3 |
| 03:03 | < afny> | build some really thick walls, maybe a dense part of a bombed out city street or something |
| 03:03 | < afny> | and encourage the defender to start out there |
| 03:04 | < afny> | it'll let them choose their moments of aggression a little better, especially against two direct fire heavy teams that can just mow down sparse cover |
| 03:05 | < afny> | gonna go fight some bots now |

| 03:24 | < afny|fullscreen> | it keeps crashing when I load the mapo |

| 03:24 | < afny|fullscreen> | YES |
| 03:24 | < afny|fullscreen> | or NO |
| 03:25 | < afny|fullscreen> | but it restricts my cursor to the left half of my screen |

| 04:57 | < afny> | heh |
| 04:58 | <~Noah> | I don't get it |
| 04:59 | <@randolph> | I think we're just being mean about engrish |
| 04:59 | < afny> | yep basically |
| 05:00 | <~Noah> | Oh, I get it. |
| 05:00 | <~Noah> | Funny, but not really |

| 05:00 | < afny> | well it's not funny because the person doesn't speak english wel |
| 05:00 | < afny> | it's just...funny |
| 05:01 | < afny> | can u share more to me was hilarious, but I think this post is funny in its own way |

| 05:24 | <@Soren> | yeah |
| 05:24 | <@Soren> | not so much |
| 05:24 | <@Soren> | this is #2 within a year. |
| 05:24 | < Dukayn> | yesh |
| 05:24 | < Dukayn> | +e |
| 05:24 | < Dukayn> | I helped some family move last weekend. It was horrible. Put I got paid $100 :) |
| 05:24 | < Dukayn> | Put = But |
| 05:24 | < Dukayn> | Apparently I can't spell today |
| 05:25 | <~Noah> | How many hours of work did you put in? |
| 05:25 | < Dukayn> | 5 |
| 05:25 | < Dukayn> | ish, we had a lunch break in there but they counted that in the "hours worked" :p |
| 05:25 | < Dukayn> | so I got paid to eat Subway |
| 05:25 | <~Noah> | Good for you |
| 05:26 | <~Noah> | So, you get 35hr work weeks, and instead of relaxing, you burn the other five hours doing manual labor |
| 05:26 | <~Noah> | Australians, shesh |
| 05:26 | < Dukayn> | We have 38 hour work weeks |
| 05:27 | <~Noah> | Oh, I thought you got it lowered to 35 some time ago |
| 05:28 | < Dukayn> | Not that I know of. |
| 05:28 | < Dukayn> | Standard work day here is 7.6 hours, 5 days a week = 38 |
| 05:28 | <~Noah> | .6? |
| 05:29 | | * Dukayn shrugs |
| 05:29 | <~Noah> | That's what... 36 minutes? |
| 05:29 | < Dukayn> | yeah |
| 05:29 | < Dukayn> | Most people would only work 7.5 anyway, but 7.6 is the official. |
| 05:30 | <~Noah> | Ah, so if you work a few minutes over each day, you can't bust anyones balls for overtime, hah |
| 05:30 | < Dukayn> | And in my last job, it was kinda important to make sure you filled out all 7.6 else the productivity report would come out saying you weren't working your full hours and you'd get a pay cut. |
| 05:31 | <~Noah> | I worked at a call center that literally tracked every second of your day and what you were doing during it, bloody nightmare |
| 05:31 | < Dukayn> | Yeah, this place didn't track every second but you had to account for every minute. Which meant coffee and toilet breaks had to be entered, or hidden inside job reports :/ |
| 05:32 | <+Tetrajak|work> | yikes |
| 05:32 | < Dukayn> | Most jobs ended up going 5 - 10 minutes longer than they should somehow :P |
| 05:32 | <+Tetrajak|work> | I have a 7.5 hour working day, but we only need to account for every 15 minutes, and only need to account for our lunch break |
| 05:33 | <+Tetrajak|work> | I would hate to be in a job with the kind of micromanaging you both describe |
| 05:33 | < Dukayn> | Yeah it was pretty bad. |
| 05:33 | < Dukayn> | My current job is a lot more... flexible. |
| 05:33 | <~Noah> | Makes me miss my cashier job at Food City. Swipe in, swipe out for lunch, swipe in from lunch, swipe out for the day |
| 05:34 | <~Noah> | Comcast -used- to be like that at our call center, but then they started busting our balls over paying us for the unproductive time it took to go from our desk to the time clock |
| 05:36 | < afny> | Damn, the working world sounds like a nightmare |
| 05:36 | < afny> | fuck that noise |
| 05:36 | < Dukayn> | Well, my job at the moment is me working at home, with flexible hours and a boss who cares more about getting what needs doing done, than tracking minutes in the day. |
| 05:36 | <~Noah> | Now you have to hand enter in a webform that looks like a excel sheet (but a lot harder to deal with) all your time. All breaks, lunches, and clock in and out |
| 05:37 | <~Noah> | And they don't want to pay you to enter that either, so you're expected to predict it and enter it ahead of time |
| 05:37 | <~Noah> | In a call cetner |
| 05:37 | <~Noah> | center* |
| 05:37 | < Dukayn> | o_O |
| 05:37 | < Dukayn> | And in your own time, probably. |
| 05:37 | <@randolph> | Why not... automate it :| |
| 05:37 | <@randolph> | I mean, that seems like the sort of thing that would thrive on automation |
| 05:37 | <~Noah> | Because I can control how long the call with Granny McOldshits about her 12th call this week about logging into her email |
| 05:37 | < afny> | They can't afford to pay programers or get approval for things that need QC testing, probably |
| 05:37 | <~Noah> | randolph: It -was- automated |
| 05:38 | <@randolph> | -____- |
| 05:38 | <~Noah> | See point 1, "we're paying people to walk to a time clock. THIS MUST NOT HAPPEN." |
| 05:38 | < afny> | oh, what |
| 05:38 | < Dukayn> | Comcast sounds like shit to work at. Should call it 'Chroncast' |
| 05:38 | < afny> | like you don't even have clock ins |
| 05:39 | < afny> | What happens if you take a break later/earlier than you declared? |
| 05:39 | < afny> | Are you carted off to the Ministry of Love? |
| 05:39 | <@randolph> | Well, so, in CA, labor code is that you clock in for hourly, but it rounds to the nearest 15, in the employee's favor |
| 05:39 | <~Noah> | And god forbid your supervisor approve your time early, because then you have to fill out a hard-copy form to have your time adjusted, and have the time applied to your next check |
| 05:39 | <@randolph> | You aren't allowed to make people clock out for breaks, except the mandatory meal break |
| 05:40 | <@randolph> | and you're required to give employees 15m breaks |
| 05:40 | <@randolph> | (in addition to the mealbreaks) |
| 05:40 | < afny> | I think we have similar restrictions in NY |
| 05:40 | <~Noah> | afny: Yes, you had to fix the late breaks or lunches (never early, they expect you to take a call up to the last second before either) |
| 05:40 | < afny> | the one place I worked with clock ins had those rules, anyway |
| 05:40 | <~Noah> | Using those forms if you were unlucky |
| 05:40 | < afny> | I'm not sure if they were mandated or just company policy |
| 05:41 | <@randolph> | What Noah's saying would be illegal in Cali |
| 05:41 | <@randolph> | Expensive lawsuits |
| 05:41 | <@randolph> | And labor usually wins |
| 05:41 | <~Noah> | Some callcenters are lucky and get to do things without the corporate iron fisting from upper management, like Florida |
| 05:42 | <@randolph> | Rule 34? |
| 05:42 | <~Noah> | Dunno if there's a comcast in Cali |
| 05:42 | <@randolph> | Yes |
| 05:42 | <@randolph> | We have a term for the service |
| 05:42 | <@randolph> | "comcastic" |
| 05:42 | <@randolph> | Though, to be fair, in some areas, the role is reversed with AT&T |
| 05:42 | <~Noah> | Either they do things differently, or they found a different way to annoy the fuck out of their employees, the latter I'm sure |
| 05:43 | <~Noah> | Yea, the service from Comcast is great, -under- some stipulations |
| 05:43 | <@randolph> | Subcontract callcenters overseas, probably |
| 05:43 | <~Noah> | First, the dispatch must be local |
| 05:43 | <~Noah> | Second, the employees aren't soul-crushed from Corporate Comcast |
| 05:44 | <@randolph> | heh |
| 05:44 | <~Noah> | Third, they have competition |
| 05:45 | < afny> | fucking localized ISP monopolies |
| 05:45 | <~Noah> | Unfortunately, AT&T is really bad here, and doesn't build out as far as I live |
| 05:45 | < afny> | We just fought off a pay by usage plan by Time Warner here |
| 05:45 | <@randolph> | doh |
| 05:46 | <~Noah> | Luckly, I live in a small area, so the Kodak node isn't as overloaded as some of the Knoxville nodes are |
| 05:46 | <@randolph> | AT&T is great here |
| 05:46 | <@randolph> | I've got fiber to the door |
| 05:46 | < afny> | bastard |
| 05:46 | <@randolph> | Recent housing development |
| 05:46 | <@randolph> | don't "bastard" me until you think about what it means to have a recent mortgage in So Cal :p |
| 05:46 | <~Noah> | We have Verizon FIOS in some areas here |
| 05:47 | < Dukayn> | We're getting fibre in the next year or so |
| 05:47 | < afny> | I'm sure we don't have comparable expenses, but I'll still bastard you as I sit on my beautiful 800-1.2mb/s down |
| 05:47 | <~Noah> | Dukayn: Wow, Australia is getting actual internet finally? |
| 05:47 | < Dukayn> | Yeah, it's crazy. |
| 05:47 | <@randolph> | hee |
| 05:48 | < Dukayn> | I can finally let my koala who dials our ISP on our tin can go home. |
| 05:48 | < afny> | don't do that |
| 05:48 | < afny> | it'll get killed by drop bears. |
| 05:48 | <~Noah> | Yea, Koala is tasty |
| 05:49 | < Dukayn> | Koalas are drop bears |
| 05:49 | < Dukayn> | duh |
| 05:49 | < afny> | I thought there was some sort of hierarchy |
| 05:50 | < afny> | the dominant bears perform devastating drops on weaker specimens for territory |
| 05:50 | < Dukayn> | Nah, drop bears are just koalas who used to work for the postal service |
| 05:50 | < afny> | surely a domesticated ISP dialing bear wouldn't stand a chance against these postal bears in the wild, though. |
| 05:50 | < Dukayn> | Probably not |
| 05:50 | < Dukayn> | He'll get a job at Telstra or something though I'm sure. |
| 05:50 | < afny> | I don't know what that is, but it's probably a worse fate. |
| 05:51 | < Dukayn> | It's the biggest telco in Australia |
| 05:51 | <~Noah> | I just hope to get through school, so I can get a decent job, with minimal soul-suckiness |
| 05:51 | < afny> | So better than death by drop? |
| 05:51 | < Dukayn> | Used to be govt-run and the /only/ telco but it got privatised years ago and there are a couple of big competitors. |

| 20:01 | < Shotren> | :) |
| 20:02 | < Shotren> | Ehh i'm trying to do something between Chub and MgN- 311/3030 |
| 20:03 | < afny> | I did some of that |

| 20:03 | < afny> | Those are both 311's with chub heads |
| 20:04 | < Shotren> | oh yes :) BTW nice done. I really like them. |
| 20:04 | < afny> | Thanks. |
| 20:05 | < afny> | You could probably incorporate Moral Warfare's chub arms into the 311 design |
| 20:05 | < afny> | although it wouldn't work with such a large backpack |
| 20:08 | < Shotren> | Yeah, i was thinking about it. But I'm trying to get smallest chest i can and make it something like mini drone if you know what i mean. shorter legs and arms etc. |
| 20:08 | < Shotren> | I think i'll post it tomorow. |
| 20:08 | < Shotren> | I'm suffering lack of light box :D |
| 20:09 | < afny> | whip up a cardboard one |
| 20:09 | < Shotren> | thanks :) |
| 20:09 | < mchnzr> | hm...MgN with a Chub torso sounds like fun. Lego box, here I come! |
| 20:17 | <@Ced23Ric> | I am making progress. |
| 20:17 | <@Ced23Ric> | OH. MgNs! |
| 20:17 | <@Ced23Ric> | I got my arms today. |
| 20:17 | <@Ced23Ric> | Gonna finish those |
| 20:19 | <@Ced23Ric> | Okay, I got two rocks done. They aren't even halfway bad. |
| 20:19 | < afny> | oh, are you trying to make NATURAL terrain |
| 20:19 | <@Ced23Ric> | Yeah. |
| 20:20 | < afny> | I sort of think I'm just not going to make any of that |
| 20:20 | <@Ced23Ric> | Natural looking rock formations. |
| 20:20 | < mchnzr> | Nice |
| 20:20 | < mchnzr> | I made a bunch of landscape terrain, but the scale only looks right with small mechs |
| 20:20 | <@Ced23Ric> | Well, these aren't too bad. I'll take some pictures later. |
| 20:20 | < afny> | for cover, or just for deco? |
| 20:20 | <@Ced23Ric> | I made mine ... uhm ... about 7bricks tall. |
| 20:20 | <@Ced23Ric> | cover and elevation. |
| 20:20 | <@Ced23Ric> | Like, sniper spots. |
| 20:20 | < mchnzr> | Mine are for cover and decoration |
| 20:21 | < mchnzr> | I like the idea of mechs flying over a mountain range to strike a whole town |
| 20:21 | <@Ced23Ric> | Bet the people living there don't! |
| 20:21 | < mchnzr> | Fuck 'em |
| 20:21 | <@Ced23Ric> | Typical SU. |
| 20:21 | < mchnzr> | :D |
| 20:22 | < Shotren> | My MgN have chubs arms. I like them more than original :D |
| 20:22 | < mchnzr> | Nah, drone species |
| 20:22 | < afny> | Shotren: the stock chub arms? |
| 20:22 | < mchnzr> | I am currently making a disgusting chub/MgN hybric with the most awkward body I've seen yet |
| 20:22 | < mchnzr> | But I might be able to pull it off |
| 20:22 | < Shotren> | aye |
| 20:22 | < afny> | how do you attach them to the central 5way brick? |
| 20:23 | < afny> | just via a clip plate turned upside down? |
| 20:23 | < mchnzr> | you could do the same chub arm on a t-piece going into the center travis |
| 20:23 | < afny> | hm, true |
| 20:23 | < mchnzr> | trying it now.. |
| 20:24 | < afny> | I'm just curious, I actually like the skinny hingeplate arms of the mgn |
| 20:24 | < afny> | (or loper arms) |
| 20:24 | < mchnzr> | I'm curious about how badass this looks so far |
| 20:25 | < mchnzr> | it feels weird that I can build an MgN without looking at diagrams :( |
| 20:25 | < afny> | I don't think you really need an image past the first one |
| 20:26 | < afny> | at least not for the 302-309 |
| 20:26 | < mchnzr> | I used to, before I built so many of them |
| 20:26 | < afny> | the 311 style chest confused me for a while |
| 20:26 | < Shotren> | ok. brb. I'm going to play my very first battle with my brother |
| 20:26 | < mchnzr> | The 309 or 311 anti air one, the big gray and orange |
| 20:26 | < afny> | Good luck! |
| 20:26 | < mchnzr> | that thing confused me, maybe I'll see if it makes more sense now |
| 20:26 | < mchnzr> | but it's a whole cluster of slopes and tiles |
| 20:26 | < mchnzr> | Shoot 'em up! |
| 20:26 | <@Ced23Ric> | Mhmm. |
| 20:26 | <@Ced23Ric> | THis actually looks good. |
| 20:26 | <@Ced23Ric> | I am confused. |
| 20:26 | <@Ced23Ric> | HOW I DO IT. |
| 20:26 | < afny> | I haven't bricked up anything similar to the AA one yet |
| 20:27 | < Shotren> | Thanks |
| 20:32 | <@Ced23Ric> | Okay. Time to contemplate and eat chinese food. |
| 20:46 | <~Noah> | Trying to decide if I want to make soup and sandwiches for dinner, or just sandwiches with chips or something |
| 20:55 | < mchnzr> | Okay, this MgN/Chub is pretty rad |
| 20:55 | < mchnzr> | chips and salsa! |
| 20:58 | < afny> | Ced |
| 20:58 | < afny> | it was the purple Ijadhi, right? |
| 20:58 | <@Ced23Ric> | Who? |
| 20:58 | <@Ced23Ric> | The Council? |
| 20:58 | < afny> | yea |
| 20:58 | <@Ced23Ric> | Yeah. |
| 21:02 | < afny> | https://dl.dropbox.com/u/84803929/100_2373.JPG |
| 21:05 | <@Ced23Ric> | Sweet? |
| 21:05 | <@Ced23Ric> | I really like that. :D |
| 21:05 | <@Ced23Ric> | I'll grab it and reconstruct it in Photoshop, if you're cool with that. |
| 21:05 | < afny> | I don't know how to officially give you rights to it or whatever but |
| 21:05 | < afny> | you have rights to it or whatever |
| 21:06 | <@Ced23Ric> | Yay! |
| 21:06 | < afny> | I figure anything I do for other people in the mfz setting is under the same share-alike license as the game itself |
| 21:06 | <~Noah> | afny: Deviantart and google picasa give you easy ways of providing creative commons rights to stuff |
| 21:07 | <@Ced23Ric> | I found the way just used to be really easy. |
| 21:07 | < afny> | I think we've had this conversation, but fuck picasa |
| 21:07 | < afny> | deviantart is better, but you really don't need an arbiter |
| 21:08 | < afny> | unless you're doing 2base arbiter drops |
| 21:16 | < afny> | hm |
| 21:16 | < afny> | sort of thinking about taking apart my remaining two nimrods, claiming their six (total) tile clips |
| 21:16 | < afny> | and trying to make a frame for that frame chef |
| 21:21 | < mchnzr> | frame chef? |
| 21:21 | < afny> | http://www.mobileframehangar.com/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=1478 |
| 21:22 | < mchnzr> | haha awesome, I have already built a ton using that piece |
| 21:29 | <@Ced23Ric> | Kevin didn't know there were other pieces until a few weeks ago. |
| 21:32 | <@Ced23Ric> | Ha. |
| 21:32 | <@Ced23Ric> | 5 7b walls. |
| 21:32 | <@Ced23Ric> | Very good. |
| 21:32 | <@Ced23Ric> | I am proud. |
| 21:33 | < afny> | let us see |
| 21:33 | <@Ced23Ric> | NO FUCK. |
| 21:33 | < afny> | I started watching Gundam instead of building walls |
| 21:33 | < afny> | I'm so productive. |
| 21:33 | <@Ced23Ric> | I JUST REMEMBERED I HAD ANGLE PIECES. ABORT MISSION. RELAUNCH. |
| 21:43 | <@Ced23Ric> | Alright. |
| 21:43 | <@Ced23Ric> | 4 angled pieces, 3 straight walls. |
| 21:43 | <@Ced23Ric> | Walls are 24 bricks wide, 6 bricks tall. |
| 21:44 | <@Ced23Ric> | Angled pieces are 10 bricks on each wing and 6 tall. |
| 21:44 | <@Ced23Ric> | And three 16x18 rocks. |

| 21:46 | < mchnzr> | Chub + MgN result ^ |
| 21:46 | <@Ced23Ric> | Dafuq. |
| 21:47 | < afny> | it's got potential |
| 21:47 | < afny> | but I don't like the feet, or the cheese slope on the bottom of the neck plate |
| 21:47 | < mchnzr> | yea the feet are just there for balance right now, I'm contemplating how to decorate them |
| 21:48 | < mchnzr> | and he looks weirder without the cheese, there's another pic in my gallery where you can see it |
| 21:48 | < afny> | you're crazy |
| 21:48 | < afny> | it looks much better |
| 21:48 | < afny> | and plus it can look down |
| 21:48 | < afny> | man, I like that head |
| 21:48 | < afny> | so much |
| 21:48 | < afny> | I like it with the single joint or the double joint |
| 21:48 | <@Ced23Ric> | Too bad it's ugly! |
| 21:49 | < afny> | the cheese slope ruins it, but the head design is great without it |
| 21:49 | < mchnzr> | hahahaha alright, alright |
| 21:49 | < afny> | it's like |
| 21:49 | < afny> | a neck brace |
| 21:49 | < afny> | he's stuck with his neck looking up and he has a big medical brace around his neck |
| 21:49 | < afny> | another thing is, I'd bulk up the legs a bit more |
| 21:50 | <@Ced23Ric> | It's ugly. |
| 21:50 | < mchnzr> | Ced: the whole frame? |
| 21:50 | < afny> | what part of it don't you like |
| 21:50 | <@Ced23Ric> | Okay, here goes. |
| 21:50 | < afny> | I actually really like the head and the arms |
| 21:50 | < afny> | and, for some reason, the bumper on the crotch |
| 21:50 | < afny> | it's a nice touch |
| 21:51 | < afny> | the chest could maybe change, it needs bulkier shins and big feet |
| 21:51 | <@Ced23Ric> | The belly looks chubby. Not like Chub chubby, but like obese chubby. In a bad way. |
| 21:51 | <@Ced23Ric> | The feet are too wide and awkwardly outwards. |
| 21:51 | <@Ced23Ric> | The head looks like a confused duck. |
| 21:51 | < afny> | only in the neckbrace shot |
| 21:51 | <@Ced23Ric> | The crotch late ... ugh. |
| 21:51 | < afny> | http://www.flickr.com/photos/78379413@N03/7369761198/in/photostream/ |
| 21:51 | < afny> | look at this one Ced |
| 21:51 | < afny> | the head is actually really good |
| 21:51 | <@Ced23Ric> | The neck is way too long. |
| 21:52 | < mchnzr> | Yea I tried a few different neck designs, I liked the cheese for that shot but in general I agree with afny |
| 21:52 | <@Ced23Ric> | It still looks like a duck. |
| 21:52 | < afny> | I think that's because it's yellow |
| 21:52 | <@Ced23Ric> | I think it's because I don't like it. |
| 21:52 | < mchnzr> | Haha |
| 21:52 | < afny> | it reminds me of a post 1 year war zeon-influenced mobile suit |
| 21:52 | <@Ced23Ric> | Sorry for being so harsh. :D |
| 21:52 | < afny> | got a long mouth/rebreather |
| 21:52 | <@Ced23Ric> | I am very opionated. |
| 21:52 | < afny> | angry looking mono-cam |
| 21:52 | < afny> | big shoulders |
| 21:52 | <@Ced23Ric> | IT'S A DUCK. |
| 21:52 | < mchnzr> | No worries - sind sie Amerikaner oder Deutsch? |
| 21:52 | <@Ced23Ric> | THERE IS NOTHING ANGRY ABOUT IT. |

| 21:53 | | * Ced23Ric is a Berlin-born Berliner. |
| 21:53 | < mchnzr> | Then you don't need to apologize for being harsh |
| 21:53 | <@Ced23Ric> | That guy looks like it's a Cthullu cultist 'Mecha. |
| 21:53 | <@Ced23Ric> | No? :D |
| 21:53 | < mchnzr> | I'm used to Germans |
| 21:53 | <@Ced23Ric> | Because we are all the same, eh? |
| 21:53 | < mchnzr> | now I HAVE to take pictures of my mini-chubs, same head but in grey, it'll torture you |
| 21:54 | < afny> | fuck it |
| 21:54 | < afny> | I need to figure out |
| 21:54 | < afny> | how to make an mgn without using any time clips in the feet |
| 21:54 | < mchnzr> | Nah, but a lot of you share the bluntness and directness that I value |
| 21:54 | <@Ced23Ric> | Kev, I wanna show you this desert scene I made. |
| 21:54 | < afny> | upload |
| 21:54 | <@Ced23Ric> | You can flame it back, if you want to. :D |
| 21:54 | <@Ced23Ric> | Nah, gotta make a scene first. |
| 21:54 | | * Ced23Ric goes for a smoke. |
| 21:54 | <@Ced23Ric> | I am thinking convoy attack or something. |

| 21:55 | < afny> | balls |
| 21:56 | < afny> | I was going to make a 6 tile clip mgn |
| 21:56 | < afny> | but I realized I don't have a travis to do it |
| 21:56 | < afny> | oh wait |
| 21:56 | < afny> | that's a chub |
| 21:56 | < afny> | oh wait |
| 21:56 | < afny> | chubs still use travis. |
| 21:56 | < afny> | no, wait again |
| 21:56 | < afny> | that's actually an mgn core |
| 21:56 | < afny> | ...I think |
| 21:57 | < mchnzr> | haha |
| 21:57 | < mchnzr> | everything uses travis |
| 21:58 | < afny> | a bunch of my chubs use motors instead |
| 21:58 | < afny> | it looks dumb from the back but they're sort of "hotrodded" anyway |
| 22:00 | < afny> | hm |
| 22:00 | < afny> | I'm going to make something slammer-esque |
| 22:02 | < afny> | hm |
| 22:02 | < afny> | ffff can't do that either really |
| 22:04 | < mchnzr> | http://www.flickr.com/photos/78379413@N03/7369822086 |

| 23:22 | <~Noah> | My favorite German language learning site |

| 23:28 | < afny> | hey, does anyone know how Ijadhi riding ghanats or other non-sapient creatures communicate in battle? |
| 23:29 | < afny> | I assume some of the things they ride don't have the capacity for vocalization |
| 23:29 | <~Noah> | Maybe they have some kind of sign-language that any animal can do |
| 23:29 | < afny> | but I mean in a frame |
| 23:29 | <~Noah> | Or maybe they're more in tune with animal body language |
| 23:29 | < afny> | like in a scrambler, all the ghanat's limbs are tied up in the control structure |
| 23:29 | < afny> | so they couldn't use sign language or pheramones or anything like that |

| 23:30 | < afny> | because they're in the cockpit of a frame |
| 23:30 | < afny> | I guess maybe the parasite has vocal chords of its own |
| 23:30 | < afny> | ?? |
| 23:30 | <~Noah> | maybe they can force the larynx to vocalize a language |
| 23:30 | < CaGeRit> | Or like crickets they scrape on their chitin produsing sound |
| 23:30 | < CaGeRit> | producing* |
| 23:31 | < CaGeRit> | Maybe they scrape the bones of their host, produsing vibrations which may be used for communication. |
| 23:31 | < afny> | I just started thinking about this because until now my Ijad company didn't have any non-human Ijadhi |
| 23:31 | < afny> | but now it does |
| 23:38 | <@Ced23Ric> | Share more to me. |
| 23:44 | < Shotren> | I'm back. I won. It, was hard as hell to defeat him. Only his one tanky artilerry which was under cover took out 2 and half of my frames. |
| 23:44 | <@Ced23Ric> | There's one answer to that. |
| 23:44 | <@Ced23Ric> | Spot & DF. |
| 23:44 | <@Ced23Ric> | Blow that cover to bits. |
| 23:45 | <@Ced23Ric> | One or two good volleys obliberate any cover. |
| 23:45 | <@Ced23Ric> | Unless you have walls of douchbaggery. |
| 23:45 | < Shotren> | yeah but i was playing light recon company :D |
| 23:45 | < Shotren> | some scramblers, two chubs, mini HtH frame |
| 23:46 | < Shotren> | sorry. one scrambler was really good art |
| 23:46 | < Shotren> | and second had 2y |
| 23:46 | < Shotren> | so not too bad. |
| 23:46 | <@Ced23Ric> | Spot is like Vespine gas. |
| 23:46 | <@Ced23Ric> | You need more of it. |
| 23:47 | < CaGeRit> | I thought it was more overlords? |
| 23:47 | <@Ced23Ric> | There is TWO things you need more of. |
| 23:47 | < Shotren> | okay i would say good night but i guess night is only here :P (in Poland) so i say bye :D |
| 23:47 | <@Ced23Ric> | PYLONS and VESPINE gas. |
| 23:47 | <@Ced23Ric> | Night man. Have a good one. |
| 23:47 | < Shotren> | thanks :) |

| 23:48 | < CaGeRit> | Speaking of Space-creation. I finished my SCV inspired air dropable hover frame!! Gimme a minute to upload piccies. |
| 23:48 | < CaGeRit> | It looks a wee bit fat though... |
| 23:48 | < afny> | hm |
| 23:48 | < afny> | what's a good blue system for a slammer |
| 23:48 | <@Ced23Ric> | Stormshield. |
| 23:48 | < CaGeRit> | Slammer like hammers slammers? |
| 23:49 | < afny> | I don't know what that is |
| 23:49 | <@Ced23Ric> | A stormshield? |
| 23:49 | < afny> | no, a hammer slammer |
| 23:49 | < CaGeRit> | Hammers slammers? |
| 23:49 | < afny> | but nah, it doesn't look good with a material shield |
| 23:49 | < CaGeRit> | Its a book series about hover tanks |
| 23:49 | < afny> | its arms are too big |
| 23:49 | < CaGeRit> | hover tanks called slammers. |
| 23:49 | <@Ced23Ric> | Give it a stormshield, man. |
| 23:49 | <@Ced23Ric> | Covers one arm and the hand. |
| 23:50 | < afny> | A slammer in this context is an Ijadhi biped frame designed by Soren |
| 23:50 | < afny> | hm like |
| 23:50 | < afny> | how would you do it |
| 23:50 | <~Noah> | So wait |
| 23:50 | < afny> | sort of like the one on Mitten's spear chub? |
| 23:50 | < afny> | with two slopes? |
| 23:50 | <~Noah> | It's night in Poland, but no Germany? |
| 23:50 | <@Ced23Ric> | afny: Less like that. More like mine. :D |
| 23:51 | <@Ced23Ric> | Noah: It's totally night over here. |
| 23:51 | <~Noah> | Are you suuuuuure? |
| 23:51 | <~Noah> | I mean, did you actually look out a window before you told me that? |
| 23:51 | < afny> | it just doesn't look like it defends anything but his left hand |
| 23:53 | <@Ced23Ric> | afny: That is what a stormshield does. |
| 23:53 | <@Ced23Ric> | It's not a tower shield. |
| 23:54 | <@Ced23Ric> | You use a stromshield to protect your chest as you charge into the fray. |
| 23:57 | < CaGeRit> | Ok first two photos show the frame at rest, It uses antigrav magplates (scifi mumbojumbo for using the magnetic field in planets to levitate, the second two are what the "legs" look like when configured to drop from an atmospheric craft using the boosters loacted on the front to help break the decent. |
| 23:57 | < afny> | but a slammer covering his chest with his big ass arm |
| 23:57 | < afny> | is just goofy |

| 23:58 | < CaGeRit> | It sort of looks like its figiting with its hands because It doesn't have any weapons to hold. |
| 23:58 | <@Ced23Ric> | Cage? |
| 23:58 | < CaGeRit> | Yes? |
