Hey Dukayn, have you done any map tool stuff yet?
02:18

nah not y et
02:18
< afny>
you should try it out, it's pretty sweet

@afny: Liking your post on the use of texture. Good idea
09:00

oh, hey

Well, I'll respond when I have some time

< afny>
I'm in a haze right now...almost at the critical mass of my collection
09:04
< afny>
I'm measuring by bar plates and taps, basically...if I can use all of those up and have frames that all look good
09:04
< Malcolm>
Running out of critical bricks?
09:04
< afny>
Well, I've done that several times over, but I break down and build new stuff
09:05
< afny>
that's half the fun
09:05
< afny>
for me anyway
09:05
< afny>
but I'm almost at that sweet spot where I can look at my table and be like

It's always the way for me. Nothing stays built for long

do you have a doctors appointment at least
09:55
<@Ced23Ric>
I actually have something better.
09:56
<@Ced23Ric>
In 35 minutes, I'll be under the capable hands of my mom's inhouse chiropractor.
09:56
< afny>
nice
09:56
<@Ced23Ric>
She runs a home for the elderly, and that guy works more on the employees than the clients. :D
09:57
< afny>
that's a pretty awesome benefit
09:57
<@Ced23Ric>
Funny thing is, I am working via encrypted connection since 6:15 ^^
09:57
< afny>
why?
09:57
<@Ced23Ric>
Laying on my bed, taking calls from the forwarded hotline to my mobile, fixing stuff over there. :D
09:57
<@Ced23Ric>
Because practically no one is on duty.
09:58
<@Ced23Ric>
There's one lonely guy in the second city we work in, 600 west.
09:58
<@Ced23Ric>
And he is swamped with calls.
09:58
<@Ced23Ric>
So I took the Berlin' share on my mobile.
09:58
<@Ced23Ric>
Give him some space to maneuver.
09:58
<@Ced23Ric>
Luckily, it's vacation time in Berlin. Not too much stuff dropping.
09:58

I don't know, I care about my job.
09:59
< afny>
not a bad thing
10:01
< afny>
okay, so I have this red and blue frame
10:01
< afny>
off the top of your head, what's cooler
10:01
< afny>
a red and blue print tile with a space shuttle on it
10:01
< afny>
a red and blue print tile with two little swooshes
10:01
< afny>
or a red print tile with a caution triangle?
10:03
<@Ced23Ric>
Swoosh!
10:03

Okay man, gotta get ready for that appointment.

I'll probably upgrade the CPU in a year. But other than that, it should last me a while.

Heh, I has one of those.
11:43

11:43

11:44
<@Ced23Ric>
Option A) Sharpie.
11:44

11:47

they'd be so perfect for this thing's arms

I have some stuff in light lime. I have absolutely no idea where it came from or what I could possibly use it for. It's potentially the most awful colour in my collection.
11:56
< afny>
I have four 1x1 rounds in either lime or light lime
11:56
< afny>
I wouldn't know the difference
11:56
< afny>
I've used them before, but they're not in anything currently
11:59
< afny>
I think I might fit this guy into my new company, and just count the two grey hardsuits as one frame
11:59
< afny>
the blue one gets to be his own frame because he's got a nice paint job.
12:01
< Sage>
Man I need to play more. I have all these maps I've made that I want to test out.
12:02
< Malcolm>
Or you could make the three hardsuits a single unit?
12:05
< afny>
yeah, but then I'd be down to 7 frames
12:06
< afny>
I could just make a forth hard suit I suppose, but it'd be...
12:06
<@Ced23Ric>
That'd be cool, though.
12:06
< afny>
HOW DID I FORGET A FORK
12:06
<@Ced23Ric>
Having two hardsuits units gives 'em a great mercenary vibe.

I didn't order very many 1x1 round plates of any color
12:22
< afny>
but that's normal
12:22
< afny>
what's baffling is
12:22
< afny>
I have this big collection of a bricks from when I was little
12:22
< afny>
and only ONE blue round 1x1 plate?
12:23
< afny>
over twenty reds, some lime greens, lots of clear of every color
12:23
< afny>
some white, lots of old grey
12:23
< afny>
and ONE blue.
12:29
< Sunfyre>
You probably had 20.
12:29

And ate 19.

I can accent the hop devils AND make a fourth one

12:34

12:43

12:47

That's depressing.
12:48
< afny>
it's A CHALLENGE.
12:53

I could use this black clip plate if a red antennae holder wasn't PERMANENTLY attached to it
12:56

How so? D:
12:56

I dunno, it's just been stuck on there for weeks

Less than a minute, from clicking "reboot" to having a fully loaded desktop. (incl. punching in my password)
13:10

balls, I knew I'd need that old grey 1x1 tile I dropped earlier

yeah, I think my plan is to basically use him as a distraction
14:23
< afny>
I dunno, I haven't settled on a dicebuild for them yet
14:23
< afny>
I might make one of the Hop Devil teams melee or something
14:23
< afny>
and I'm also not convinced two artillery is enough
14:25
< afny>
i've sort of cooled on the whole split range AAA/DFDFDF/B thing though
14:25
< afny>
I think I prefer two 2rA+d8/G/B frames
14:31
< Sage>
I've been unipressed with 2d6 1d8. I think I'd rather have a frame that can shoot all the time at all ranges.
14:32
< afny>
I think it's personal preference, but at least for the terrain I have built
14:32
< afny>
I know I'd want my artillery range frames to be able to take elevated cover
14:33
< afny>
the green d6 is an added bonus
14:33
< Sage>
green is very nice. It is hard to get places without it.
14:34
< afny>
now that I actually have an idea for movement distances and stuff
14:34
< afny>
I feel like I value it a lot more
14:34

and I value having multiple ranges a lot less

I've defended before where split arty/df was really valuable because I was surrounded and my frames had no where to run.
14:43
< afny>
hm
14:43
< afny>
yeah, I'd consider it as the defender
14:44
< afny>
I suppose in that context it might be valuable to get a frame like that into a defensible position before an initiative swing
14:52
< Malcolm>
You know, in all the years I've played Mechaton/MFZ, I have never once used a split range weapon. Huh.
14:57
< afny>
Well in all the .7 times I've played MFZ, I used one and found it somewhat lacking
