| 00:07 | < afny> | Hey Sage, you built a bunch of 7p hardsuits, right? |
| 00:07 | < afny> | Do you count them as individual frames, or as systems |
| 00:08 | | DeathZero [NSwebIRC@Nightstar-5d46be7b.iplsin.sbcglobal.net] has joined #mf0 |
| 00:08 | < DeathZero> | o/ |
| 00:08 | < Sage> | My Silranthii ones are frames by themselves. Of they are almost frame sized. |
| 00:08 | < Sage> | My human hardsuit were going to work in teams of two I guess. |
| 00:09 | < afny> | mine are going to be human or ghanat I guess |
| 00:09 | < afny> | teams of two seems sound, I know that's what Soren did with his little marine guys |
| 00:12 | < Sage> | I'm going to start a server here in a minute. Anyone want to play or learn the ropes on using MapTool? |
| 00:16 | < afny> | I actually MIGHT have time to play right now |
| 00:16 | < afny> | although there's a chance I'll have to forfeit and leave |
| 00:17 | < afny> | DZ, you down? |
| 00:17 | < afny> | We could do a 3way skirmish |
| 00:18 | < DeathZero> | How long this probly take? |
| 00:18 | < afny> | no idea |
| 00:18 | < afny> | pretty sure maptool has a save feature, though |
| 00:18 | < Sage> | A few hours at least. |
| 00:18 | < DeathZero> | I don't have my frames set up yet. I'll work on that tonight and I can be ready next time. |
| 00:19 | < DeathZero> | I did just post pictures of the Modular Tower. |
| 00:19 | < DeathZero> | btw. |
| 00:19 | < Sage> | That shouldn't take very long. |
| 00:19 | < afny> | I'll BEGRUDGINGLY plug maptool's token generator |
| 00:19 | < afny> | even though I think it's ugly |
| 00:19 | < afny> | it's easy. |
| 00:19 | < DeathZero> | I've got the token generator. I just need to get the token's made and decide what loadouts to use. |
| 00:19 | < afny> | I was just going to wing it |
| 00:20 | < afny> | what does the top look like? |
| 00:20 | < afny> | of the tower |
| 00:20 | < DeathZero> | flat. |
| 00:20 | < afny> | lol |
| 00:20 | < afny> | yes, I assumed |
| 00:20 | < afny> | but like, what's the layout |
| 00:20 | < afny> | I can't tell from the picture |
| 00:20 | < DeathZero> | http://www.mobileframehangar.com/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=1788 |
| 00:20 | < afny> | yeah, I'm looking at 'em |
| 00:20 | < DeathZero> | you mean whats the layout of the tiles on top? |
| 00:20 | < afny> | yea yea |
| 00:21 | < DeathZero> | ah, right now its 1x1 tiles on the outer spaces and 2x2 tiles in the center 4 |
| 00:21 | < DeathZero> | thats just what I had available. |
| 00:21 | < afny> | I'm just trying to get an idea of the size, the angle is a bit confusing |
| 00:22 | < DeathZero> | the top is 6 studs across at the widest |
| 00:22 | < DeathZero> | ah, I guess I should do a more top down picture. |
| 00:24 | | Ced23Ric [me@Nightstar-9ab35e44.adsl.alicedsl.de] has quit [[NS] Quit: ] |
| 00:24 | < Sage> | Anyway. If you guys get on MapTool I can help you get setup. |
| 00:25 | < DeathZero> | Aight, gimme a couple min. |
| 00:25 | < afny> | tell me when you're ready, I'm going to dig for a second blue droid torso |
| 00:26 | < Sage> | The server is up. You can get on anytime. Server name: MoF0 |
| 00:38 | < DeathZero> | I'm in |
| 00:38 | < afny> | same |
| 00:38 | < DeathZero> | also, posted new pictures for you Afny |
| 00:38 | < afny> | oh, nice |
| 00:38 | < afny> | they look good |

| 05:58 | <@randolph> | Hey folks |
| 05:58 | <@randolph> | back from sdcc |
| 05:59 | < afny> | did it crash :| |
| 05:59 | < afny> | also hey randolph |
| 05:59 | < afny> | how was it |
| 05:59 | < DeathZero> | o_o dunno |
| 05:59 | < Sage> | Welp MapTool just crashed. |
| 05:59 | < afny> | lol |
| 05:59 | < DeathZero> | ah, sucks. |
| 06:00 | < afny> | I guess it was a tie? |
| 06:00 | < DeathZero> | thanks for the game guys, helped me get a handle on some stuff there. |
| 06:00 | < Sage> | I think Anfy was going to take that anyway. |
| 06:00 | <@randolph> | afny: Pretty great, but carrying two kids around con has killed my arms |
| 06:00 | < afny> | two at the same time? |
| 06:00 | <@randolph> | alternately |
| 06:00 | < afny> | AH |
| 06:00 | < DeathZero> | have a good night folks, I'm off to be. |
| 06:00 | < afny> | night |
| 06:00 | < DeathZero> | bed^ |
| 06:00 | < afny> | good game! |
| 06:00 | <@randolph> | We got interviewed for FX channel and some youtube streams |
| 06:01 | < afny> | because you were adorable? |
| 06:01 | < DeathZero> | lol. I got slaughtered, Though i didn't really go in with any tactics in mind, so that'll teach me. |
| 06:01 | <@randolph> | Also we created enough of a traffic jam in front of the Capcom booth that they stuck us onto one of their photo-op booth/stages |
| 06:01 | < afny> | just stick to cover more |
| 06:01 | < afny> | and maybe give up a station early |
| 06:01 | < afny> | as opposed to giving up a frame |
| 06:01 | <@randolph> | ^ ++ |
| 06:01 | < afny> | although honesty I think you would've done a lot better if your arbalest was arty |
| 06:01 | <@randolph> | Giving up actions kills you |
| 06:01 | < DeathZero> | it was supposed to be XD |
| 06:01 | < afny> | yeah I know lol |
| 06:02 | < DeathZero> | gibblets. |
| 06:02 | <@randolph> | Think of every game as a (hidden) set number of turns. |
| 06:02 | < DeathZero> | I'm goin to bed, thanks guys |
| 06:02 | < afny> | o7 |
| 06:02 | < Sage> | Defense is hard when everyone know to gun for you instead of fight each other. |
| 06:02 | < DeathZero> | o7 |
| 06:02 | <@randolph> | Anytime you give up turns, you're fucking yourself. |
| 06:02 | < afny> | it's also sad when you're the former defender, and crippled |
| 06:02 | <@randolph> | Yeah. |
| 06:02 | < afny> | and then the attackers just turn on eachother and completely ignore you |
| 06:03 | < DeathZero> | :P |
| 06:03 | < afny> | I was sort of counting on DZ to beat a few of your frames with their own detached limbs in the final turn, sage |
| 06:03 | <@randolph> | The *only* thing the defenders have going for them is victory points |

| 06:03 | < afny> | alo ceddo |
| 06:04 | < afny> | hm |
| 06:04 | < afny> | time to build some hardsuits. |
| 06:04 | < afny> | actually, time to eat some yogurt. |
| 06:05 | < afny> | THEN time to build some hardsuits. |
| 06:11 | < afny> | so I learned a ton from that |
| 06:11 | < afny> | for instance, I thought you recalculated your ASSET VALUE along with recalculating initiative |
| 06:11 | < afny> | the defender is actually in a much stronger position than I thought |
| 06:11 | < afny> | in fact, I don't even know how I thought the game was balanced |
| 06:13 | < afny> | I thought that early game initiative was just supposed to be enough for the defender to get a footing, I suppose |
| 06:20 | <@randolph> | No, it never gets recalc'd. But no, that doesn't make the defender position unassailable. |
| 06:20 | <@randolph> | It just means it really behooves the attackers to stay out of each others' shit to have a chance. |
| 06:20 | < afny> | yeah, that's what we did until the DD was at 6 |
| 06:21 | < afny> | I didn't realize until then |
| 06:21 | < afny> | it didn't matter as much at that point, but I realized if DZ had sacrificed a station early instead of frames |
| 06:21 | <@randolph> | this is another one of those "it's obvious after you try it" things |
| 06:21 | < afny> | the stations he took later would get him SEVEN points |
| 06:21 | <@randolph> | Not just 7 |
| 06:21 | < afny> | and they'd only give sage or me three |
| 06:21 | <@randolph> | it'd swing him by 7+x from whoever he stole them from |
| 06:21 | < afny> | wait what |
| 06:22 | <@randolph> | Well, say 2nd place had asset value 5 |
| 06:22 | <@randolph> | if he stole a station from 2nd place, that's a 12-point swing |
| 06:22 | < afny> | total, but he only gains 7 |
| 06:22 | <@randolph> | sure |
| 06:22 | < afny> | I lose 5. |
| 06:22 | < afny> | yeah, okay |
| 06:22 | < afny> | just checking |
| 06:22 | <@randolph> | but it makes it ridic |
| 06:22 | < afny> | but on the other hand it swings both ways |
| 06:22 | <@randolph> | Yeah, that's why you have to let stations go early to conserve actions |
| 06:22 | < afny> | yea |
| 06:23 | <@randolph> | You spend your actions to reduce the attackers' actions until you exceed action parity |
| 06:23 | <@randolph> | Or else you just grind them the fuck down while spamming DDC |
| 06:24 | <@randolph> | that's part of why the 1d8 G isn't good enough for melee heavy frames - the first few rounds are relatively more important |
| 06:24 | <@randolph> | You need to be able to consistently deliver all your hurt while a) you still have everything and b) it's relevant |
| 06:26 | < afny> | to be honest I turtled very hard for the first two turns |
| 06:26 | < afny> | and then sort of just busted out |
| 06:27 | <@randolph> | 3p games will reflect player psychology, and also not everything is USF~ |
| 06:27 | <@randolph> | (where turtling means "I can shoot everything" just as much as not turtling~) |
| 06:27 | <@randolph> | afk a bit |
| 06:27 | < afny> | yeah I suppose |
| 06:27 | < afny> | I had a lot of range |
| 06:28 | < afny> | one 2rA+d8, one 3A/3D split |
| 06:28 | <@randolph> | Hm, so what did you mean by turtle then? |
| 06:28 | < afny> | and one global spot |
| 06:28 | < afny> | I meant I was in cover to both opponents and I didn't really move at all |
| 06:28 | <@randolph> | Ah, ok, I'm curious to know whether you ever lacked for global spot? |
| 06:28 | < afny> | for the first two turns |
| 06:28 | < afny> | only right at the end, sage took that frame down to 1Y |
| 06:28 | <@randolph> | Like, did you ever have to take unspotted shots |
| 06:28 | < afny> | but at that point all of my direct fire was moving in |
| 06:28 | < afny> | and I didnt need it anymore |
| 06:28 | < afny> | yes, I took a few unspotted shots |
| 06:29 | <@randolph> | Ok, I consider that "found it lacking" |
| 06:29 | < afny> | the problem is |
| 06:29 | < afny> | if you don't have the initiative |
| 06:29 | < afny> | the more YY you have, the more likely it is to go to waste |
| 06:30 | < afny> | sage had more than one YY and on more than one occasion (twice, I think), one of his global spots went unused |
| 06:30 | <@randolph> | Hm. |
| 06:30 | < afny> | I'm not sold on the UTMOST importance of YY yet |
| 06:30 | <@randolph> | Now, caveat: I haven't done a ton of 3+p theorycrafting |
| 06:30 | < afny> | I'm going to stick to one per company, MAYBE two if I have 7 or 8 frames |
| 06:30 | <@randolph> | but in 2p, my goal is to *get* the initiative |
| 06:31 | < afny> | it was relatively unimportant to my plan |
| 06:31 | < afny> | at least getting it early |
| 06:31 | <@randolph> | nod |
| 06:31 | < afny> | obviously I wanted it eventually |
| 06:31 | <@randolph> | yeah |
| 06:31 | <@Ceddobear> | I suffer greatly. |
| 06:31 | <@randolph> | I can see that in 3+, if you're not going first, chances are, you'll have some spots. |
| 06:32 | <@randolph> | So yeah, that devalues YY |
| 06:32 | <@randolph> | Not entirely, but somewhat. |
| 06:32 | <@Ceddobear> | I fucked up my back this weekend. |
| 06:32 | <@randolph> | D'oh |
| 06:32 | <@Ceddobear> | And now I have to sit here in excrutiating pain. |
| 06:32 | <@randolph> | Gonna call in some sickleave? |
| 06:32 | <@randolph> | hm |
| 06:33 | <@randolph> | go to the doctor yet? |
| 06:33 | <@Ceddobear> | And have no one in the office? |
| 06:33 | <@Ceddobear> | I mean ... senior has a broken collar bone, the other guy is on vacation. |
| 06:33 | <@Ceddobear> | I have two new guys to introduce. |
| 06:33 | <@randolph> | Unresolved joint stuff, especially back stuff, is not funny, and gets worse the older you get |
| 06:33 | <@Ceddobear> | And a temp worker to supervise. |
| 06:33 | <@randolph> | yeesh |
| 06:34 | <@Ceddobear> | And the substitute for the late shift comes in at ... well, in more than 6 hours. |
| 06:34 | <@randolph> | take a bunch of ibuprofen to reduce swelling, but seriously, make that appointment |
| 06:34 | <@Ceddobear> | I threw 1200mg this morning. |
| 06:34 | <@randolph> | hm, I think you can take 5 more doses within 24h |
| 06:34 | <@randolph> | but I don't recall offhand |
| 06:34 | <@Ceddobear> | I'mma hit the pharmacy as soon as it opens. |
| 06:34 | <@randolph> | kk |
| 06:34 | <@randolph> | hope you get better soon, dude |
| 06:34 | <@Ceddobear> | Get myself a thermal plaster. |
| 06:35 | <@randolph> | sounds fancy, whatsat? |
| 06:35 | <@Ceddobear> | And maybe some Voltaren Dispers Forte. |
| 06:35 | <@randolph> | ok, really have to afk now, bbiab |
| 06:35 | <@Ceddobear> | Uhm, basically, a 8 inch by 12 inch plaster coated in capsilin. |
| 06:35 | <@Ceddobear> | Sets the covered area on fire, for super-blood-flow. |
| 06:36 | <@Ceddobear> | Usually fixes even the worst joint aches. |
| 06:36 | < afny> | that sounds intense |
| 06:36 | <@Ceddobear> | Well, you know Cayenne pepper, eh? |
| 06:36 | < afny> | wait, capSACIN? |
| 06:37 | <@Ceddobear> | It's like rubbing concentrated Cayenne on your wet back. And then, sealing it off with fabric. |
| 06:37 | <@Ceddobear> | ... is that the English spelling? |
| 06:37 | < afny> | it sounds intense |
| 06:37 | < afny> | yeah I guess |
| 06:37 | < afny> | I know the feeling |
| 06:37 | < afny> | ..how shall I say... |
| 06:37 | < afny> | INTIMATELY. |
| 06:37 | < afny> | although I didn't seal it off with fabric. |
| 06:37 | <@Ceddobear> | Capsaicin, yeah. |
| 06:38 | <@Ceddobear> | Wait. |
| 06:38 | <@Ceddobear> | What. |
| 06:38 | < afny> | What I mean to say is... |
| 06:38 | <@Ceddobear> | You peppered your junk? |
| 06:38 | < afny> | I cut some habenero peppers |
| 06:38 | < afny> | and then I made an adjustment. |
| 06:38 | <@Ceddobear> | And rubbed them on your junk. |
| 06:38 | < afny> | Well not DIRECTLY. |
| 06:38 | < afny> | there was some transference. |
| 06:38 | < afny> | It was an oversight. |
| 06:38 | <@Ceddobear> | You made a sleeve. |
| 06:38 | <@Ceddobear> | Oh. |
| 06:38 | <@Ceddobear> | YOu had the stuff "on hand". |
| 06:39 | < afny> | Indeed. |
| 06:39 | <@Ceddobear> | And then. |
| 06:39 | <@Ceddobear> | Did the manly thing to do. |
| 06:39 | <@Ceddobear> | Junk adjustment. |
| 06:39 | < afny> | It was just a slight adjustment, mind. |
| 06:39 | < afny> | But the sensation was LASTING. |
| 06:39 | <@Ceddobear> | Yeah, yeah. I get it now. |
| 06:39 | <@Ceddobear> | I BET. |
| 06:39 | <@Ceddobear> | Well. |
| 06:39 | < afny> | anyway it probably would be great for joint pain. |
| 06:39 | <@Ceddobear> | That, only on your back. |
| 06:40 | <@Ceddobear> | Those plasters last for like 6h. |
| 06:42 | <@Ceddobear> | Or, almost a work day. |
| 06:42 | <@Ceddobear> | And Voltaren Dispers Forte is ... specific pain killers for joint stuff. |
| 06:42 | <@Ceddobear> | Does nigh-on nothing for headaches. |
| 06:42 | <@Ceddobear> | But anything mobility-wise, it kicks ass. |
| 06:43 | <@Ceddobear> | Comes in pastes, pills and other stuff. Maybe gum. Dunno. |
| 06:43 | <@Ceddobear> | Had it in my paintball gear bag. |
| 06:43 | <@Ceddobear> | Today's gonna be ... horrible. |
| 06:43 | <@Ceddobear> | The night was bad. |
| 06:44 | <@Ceddobear> | The morning, I could barely get up. |
| 06:44 | <@Ceddobear> | Now, I am a bit more stable, my back is getting used to be supported by muscle tension rather than the spine. :| |
| 06:44 | < afny> | urgh |
| 06:45 | <@Ceddobear> | There are like ... two positions that work. Legs angled, straight flat back, or pillow in small of back, legs stretched out. |
| 06:45 | <@Ceddobear> | Getting up is a matter of rolling over my hip. |
| 06:45 | <@Ceddobear> | I fucking hate that feeling of being crippled. |
| 06:45 | <@Ceddobear> | Not by ... uhm ... inability, but by the sheer fear of pain. D: |
| 06:46 | <@Ceddobear> | So yeah. Good times. |
| 06:46 | <@Ceddobear> | The pharmacy opens up at 8am. |
| 06:46 | <@Ceddobear> | The new guys arrives 8am. |
| 06:46 | <@Ceddobear> | I'll try and have the temp worker give him a tour of the house. |
| 06:47 | <@Ceddobear> | But then again, my temp worker is this droopy ex-mil guy. |
| 06:47 | <@Ceddobear> | Good guy, don't get me wrong. |
| 06:47 | <@Ceddobear> | But he's a bit slow in the head. :( |
| 06:51 | <@Ceddobear> | Alright, new guy is here. |
| 06:51 | <@Ceddobear> | On we go. D: |
| 06:51 | < afny> | o7 |
| 07:18 | < afny> | ugh |
| 07:18 | < afny> | 7p hardsuits |
| 07:18 | < afny> | y u no have character |
| 07:43 | < afny> | success |
| 07:43 | < afny> | adorable hardsuit |
| 07:47 | <@randolph> | I managed to make a Stay-Puft Marshmallow Chibs, but that's about it |
| 07:48 | < afny> | this is sort of the conscript equivalent of your tiny chub |
| 07:48 | <@randolph> | ooh |
| 07:48 | <@randolph> | pics |
| 07:48 | < afny> | the thing that bothered me about ALL the 7p hardsuits i've seen |
| 07:48 | < afny> | is there's no hp splay or arm splay |
| 07:48 | < afny> | hip* |
| 07:48 | < afny> | let me tinker for another minute and then I'll set up the lightbox |
| 07:48 | <@randolph> | kk |
| 07:49 | < afny> | if I can make enough of these I'll bulk up the gunbuddies with them |
| 07:49 | <@randolph> | hehe |
| 07:50 | <@Ceddobear> | Randy, seen my answer? |
| 07:50 | <@randolph> | Yes. I tried one of those once for a shoulder injury. |
| 07:50 | <@Ceddobear> | I got a different plaster now. |
| 07:51 | <@randolph> | Not fun. |
| 07:51 | <@Ceddobear> | Instead of capsaicin, it's iron oxidizing now. |
| 07:51 | <@randolph> | huh |
| 07:51 | <@Ceddobear> | Yeah, iron pellets in fabric pockets. |
| 07:51 | <@Ceddobear> | And when suspected to oxygen, they heat up. |
| 07:52 | <@randolph> | (exposed) |
| 07:54 | <@Ceddobear> | Mhmm. |
| 07:54 | <@Ceddobear> | Why did I think of "suspected" ? |
| 07:56 | <@randolph> | Indecent exposure suspects? |
| 08:04 | < afny> | https://dl.dropbox.com/u/84803929/Hop%20Devil.JPG |
| 08:06 | <@randolph> | dawwww |
| 08:06 | < afny> | the arms have some decent articulation, too |
| 08:06 | < afny> | side to side and about 30 degrees vertical |
| 08:06 | <@randolph> | That's p. sweet |
| 08:06 | <@randolph> | I can't help but notice that due to parts use, he's doign the peepee dance |
| 08:07 | < afny> | yeah, that's the problem with minifig legs :| |
| 08:07 | < afny> | I could turn them the other way, but then I couldn't get those greeble clip plates on the outside |
| 08:08 | < afny> | https://dl.dropbox.com/u/84803929/Size%20Comparison.JPG |
| 08:09 | <@randolph> | It's okay, little guy, your gun doesn't always have to be shorter. |
| 08:09 | < afny> | hm, I turned the legs around and I kind of like it better this way |
| 08:11 | < afny> | okay, gonna try to make three more of these guys to count as two frames total |
| 08:11 | < afny> | that'll bring that company up to 5 |
| 08:13 | <@randolph> | Meh, I don't see why you don't use hardsuits as full frames |
| 08:13 | <@randolph> | But it's your prerogative |
| 08:13 | < afny> | I will if I can't find enough to build them, but |
| 08:13 | < afny> | mostly just because it's hilarious to say a whole frame counts as a blue |
| 08:13 | <@randolph> | If it really bugs you, they can be the ones that underbid systems |
| 08:13 | <@randolph> | hee |
| 08:13 | < afny> | I was looking through Soren's flikr and in a huge table shot with a bunch of frames |
| 08:14 | <@randolph> | Totally horning in on Mr. Chibs' job security~ |
| 08:14 | < afny> | there's a note |
| 08:14 | < afny> | "These two guys count as one frame in Mechaton, because the second guy is there to pick up the first one's gun." |
| 08:14 | < afny> | or something like that |
| 08:14 | <@randolph> | heh |

| 08:15 | < afny> | I wouldn't feel bad dicing one of them as a soldier I guess |
| 08:15 | < afny> | Df (pistol), Y (comms pack), G (jump jets), B (small, hard to hit) |
| 08:25 | <@randolph> | DF (assault rifle), Y (telemetry module), B (ablative Chibi) |
| 08:26 | <@randolph> | (after your comment, I'm tempted to have a fake advertisement where you get a free Chibi with every armed Military frame ordered) |

| 08:30 | < afny> | for that soldier that you just can't stand |
| 08:33 | <@randolph> | Captain America has 2B: Shield, Bucky. |
| 08:37 | < afny> | I'm using an unholy mixture of old light grey and new light grey |
| 08:37 | < afny> | I keep telling myself, "it's urban camouflage." |
| 08:40 | <@randolph> | I'd do it. |
| 08:46 | < Malcolm> | Makes things look weather and industrial |
| 08:46 | < Malcolm> | weathered, rather |
| 08:50 | < Malcolm> | Oh, and these things make a great basis for 7P powersuits: http://www.flickr.com/photos/ironweasel/5735399072 |
| 08:51 | < afny> | hm, I like it |
| 08:51 | < afny> | but I don't have too many droid bits |
| 08:52 | < Malcolm> | Ah, well, yes, I can see how that would be a problem |
| 08:53 | < afny> | or taps, actually |
| 08:53 | < afny> | kind of out of those |
| 08:53 | < afny> | I mean, I have lots, but they're all tied up in frames |
| 08:53 | < afny> | I'm just trying to stretch my tablescraps with these hardsuits |
| 08:54 | < Malcolm> | That's a good way to go. Keeps things inventive |

| 09:06 | < afny> | alright, gonna take some pics now that these are done up in better colors |
| 09:06 | < afny> | with real weapons |
| 09:06 | < Malcolm> | Good show |
| 09:06 | < afny> | and by better colors I mean no colors at all |
| 09:14 | < afny> | http://www.flickr.com/photos/kyanosmoros/7581242458/in/photostream |
| 09:15 | < afny> | I'm unsure about the minfig legs. They're doing work, but at this scale they're so recognizable... |

| 12:12 | < Malcolm> | @afny: I'm with you on the comment about the minifig legs. I wonder if there is a more aesthetically pleasing solution. |
| 12:12 | < afny> | it probably involves taps |
| 12:13 | < afny> | I'm liking the minifig legs better now that I added the 1x1 round between them and the clip plate foot |
| 12:13 | < afny> | right now I'm working on a quadraped based on zizy's Zau, though |
| 12:14 | < afny> | I'm going to end up making this a company of 8, even though it was just supposed to be 3 |
| 12:15 | < afny> | the Hop Devil photograph isn't very flattering...on the table, the legs look much better because the thing is so damn short |
| 12:15 | < afny> | seeing it from head on is not likely |
| 12:15 | < Malcolm> | Sounds fair. Also: is the Hop Devil deliberately named after a beer? |
| 12:16 | < Malcolm> | If so, your next frame needs to be the Storm King |
| 12:17 | < afny> | not deliberately, but subconsciously |
| 12:17 | < afny> | those are two of my favorite beers, in fact |
| 12:17 | < Malcolm> | Storm King is a fine stout |
| 12:28 | < afny> | hm |
| 12:28 | < afny> | these are the opposite of cartoony |
| 12:34 | < afny> | got any ideas for a movement system for a quadruped? |
| 12:35 | < Malcolm> | Buggered if I know. Multipeds have always been a blank spot for me. |
| 12:35 | < Malcolm> | I try, but I fail. |
| 12:36 | < afny> | I haven't had luck with my own, but I'm fond of Soren's scrambler and variants |
| 12:36 | < afny> | and I love the Zau |
| 12:36 | < afny> | http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=907879 |
| 12:38 | < afny> | I might have to just throw in the towel and give them the good old "overpowered muscle cylinders" |
| 12:49 | < afny> | time to start hunting for verbs that start with S again |
| 12:54 | < Malcolm> | Just make random shit up, a la every mecha anime ever |
| 12:59 | < afny> | http://www.flickr.com/photos/kyanosmoros/7582119608/in/photostream |
| 12:59 | < afny> | and the company: http://www.flickr.com/photos/kyanosmoros/7582169224/in/photostream |
| 13:02 | < Malcolm> | Aren't you just the king of productivity! |
| 13:03 | < afny> | sadly it's just the opposite |
| 13:03 | < afny> | but thanks |
| 13:12 | < Malcolm> | Well, three new frames (or, in one case, variations on a theme) in a few days isn't bad going. |
| 13:13 | < afny> | What I meant was, there are a billion other things I could and should be doing that aren't playing with lego |
| 13:13 | < afny> | but it's just so much fun, damn it. |
| 13:14 | < Malcolm> | I find it a very therapeutic pursuit |
| 13:14 | < Malcolm> | A nice way to unwind for an hour |
| 13:15 | < afny> | I can't ever just build one frame |
| 13:15 | < afny> | they're like fried food |
| 13:15 | < afny> | at least with spaceships I can build one and just tinker for a while |
| 13:16 | < afny> | But with a frame, no way. Build one? Gotta build at LEAST seven more. |
| 13:17 | < afny> | Do you have any modulex? |
| 13:22 | < Malcolm> | Nope, never got my hands on any |
| 13:23 | < afny> | I'm thinking I might try to get a few of the little white bits to use as pistol magazines |

| 13:29 | < Malcolm> | I've seen a few places selling Modulex. Heinously expensive, though |
| 13:31 | < afny> | Yeah, it's more of a wish list item : |
| 13:31 | < afny> | ONE DAY. |
| 13:57 | < Malcolm> | It pains me to say this, but I'm going to need to ask if - at some convenient point - there would be a chance of seeing the guts of the Gunbuddy. |
| 13:58 | < Malcolm> | I'm keen to use it in a demo company, but the inner working are - uch to my embarrassment - evading me |
| 13:59 | < afny> | sure, I'll explode one |
| 13:59 | < Malcolm> | Cheers. I've got a bunch of those twin inverted slopes that I want to make use of. |
| 14:10 | < afny> | https://dl.dropbox.com/u/84803929/Explodebuddy.JPG |
| 14:12 | < afny> | my dirty secret is I have nearly one orange 1x1 round for every other round 1x1 combined |
| 14:12 | < afny> | so I try to use them as much as possible when I can get away with it |
| 14:13 | < afny> | luckily it always looks good in blue builds |
| 14:14 | < Malcolm> | D'oh! I see now what I was doing wrong. I never figured there were two 2x1 plates with bar ends in there. |
| 14:14 | < Malcolm> | Suddenly, everything is clear. Cheers. |
| 14:15 | < afny> | No problem |
| 14:21 | < afny> | also, something I've found since posting the flikr image |
| 14:21 | < afny> | is if you reverse the hip taps so the studs, not the stud openings, are forward |
| 14:21 | < afny> | you get a better posture, particularly in profile |
| 14:21 | < afny> | although I kind of miss the quad stud openings on the front |
| 14:21 | < afny> | it's a tradeoff. |

| 22:23 | < DeathZero> | No, its mine |
| 22:23 | < DeathZero> | I ate it already. |
| 22:23 | < DeathZero> | It tasted of chicken. |
| 22:23 | < CaGeRit> | After one month and several pitched hard won battles, countless gallons of blood sweat and tears I finaly have a working airbrush setup. |
| 22:24 | < DeathZero> | sweet |
| 22:24 | < CaGeRit> | It is about 10 times more complicated than the standard airbrush setup becuse I made so many purchasing mistakes early on I had to make up for it with rampant kludging and improvisments. |
| 22:26 | < CaGeRit> | Adding a tank to a tankless compressor, soldering 3 fittings to switch them back and fourth between metric and imperial without buying adapters, using two sequential regulators to bring the totaly overpowered 200 psi compressor down to around 5 psi output. |
| 22:27 | < CaGeRit> | If any one wants to try and get an airbrush talk to me first I can help you avoid all of that very very simply. |
