Hello, all.
03:17
<+FerrelFerret_phone>
So happy, just been building cover. Now I can demo. :)
03:22
<@randolph>
Hey FF
03:23
<@randolph>
That's cool
03:23
<@randolph>
Any neat cover to show off?

<+FerrelFerret_phone>
Not really.
03:36
<+FerrelFerret_phone>
Bought a bunch of dark bley at the LEGO store.
03:36
<+FerrelFerret_phone>
Didn't know there was a LEGO store in the mall close to me. Was super stoked when I found out.
03:37
< neoaez>
Which mall?
03:43
<+FerrelFerret_phone>
Grapevine Mills
03:43
<+FerrelFerret_phone>
In Grapevine, TX
03:45
<+FerrelFerret_phone>
I'm going to go back after work tomorrow and get some more. Lots of dark bley, white, and red 1x2 bricks
03:45
<+FerrelFerret_phone>
Also had some transfer neon green 2x2 round bricks too
03:47
<+FerrelFerret_phone>
Trans, not transfer...
03:47
<+FerrelFerret_phone>
Stupid phone. :/
03:48
<@randolph>
wow neon green 2x2 round?
03:48
<@randolph>
that's awesome
03:48
<+FerrelFerret_phone>
I'm just happy cause now I have plenty of 1x2 bricks to make cover.
03:49
<+FerrelFerret_phone>
The neon will be great for stations.
03:49
<@randolph>
You'd be surprised how quickly the 1x2s go :|
03:49
<@randolph>
Especially if you get multiple colors
03:50
<+FerrelFerret_phone>
I have a lot of walls 3 bricks high and haven't even used half of one of the cups. :)
03:50
<@randolph>
Oh, I've been building them at least 5
03:50
<@randolph>
3 looked kinda weird
03:51
<@randolph>
(next to a chub-sized frame)
03:51
<+FerrelFerret_phone>
For demo purposes ill be using 3 high walls
03:51
<@randolph>
It's like crotch height
03:51
<@randolph>
nod
03:51
<+FerrelFerret_phone>
With few taller
03:51
<@randolph>
I want to make some "sandbag cover" out of 1x2 rounded bricks
03:52
<+FerrelFerret_phone>
Yeah, but sandbags don't really get built that high
03:53
<+FerrelFerret_phone>
3 bricks is somewhere in the range of 7 to 8 feet. At 7p at least
03:55
<@randolph>
I figure the frame ones do
03:55
<@randolph>
At least on the UMFL training courses
03:58
<+FerrelFerret_phone>
Be back in bit. Got to drive for a bit. :)
04:06
<+FerrelFerret_phone>
Back
04:06
< neoaez>
Hmm...
04:06
< neoaez>
I'm in Arlington tomorrow, but its still half an hour to Grapevine. If only I could come up with a reason to be there for work tomorrow...
04:07
< neoaez>
I drove by North Park today and was tempted to stop.
04:07
<+FerrelFerret_phone>
That's where I first went a few months back
04:08
<+FerrelFerret_phone>
I work in Alliance, so it's not too far.
04:09
<+FerrelFerret_phone>
But then again, everything is about 30 minutes away in DFW. lol
04:27
<+FerrelFerret_phone>
In the rules it says cover loses 6 bricks for a hit. Does a 1x2 back count as 1 or 2 bricks for this?
04:29
<+FerrelFerret_phone>
Cause, if we count the physical bricks and not the size, cover made with larger bricks would disappear much faster.
04:36
<@randolph>
1 brick
04:36
<@randolph>
yes.
04:36
<@randolph>
Soren described his "dickwad wall" entirely made of 1x2 plates
04:37
<+FerrelFerret_phone>
Hmm, but plates aren't bricks. :/
04:37
<@randolph>
You remove "6 pieces of LEGO"
04:37
<@randolph>
A LEGO tree counts as one brick/piece.
04:38
<@randolph>
These are the rules, the terminology isn't really relevant at this stage except for the purposes of clarity
04:38
<@randolph>
Whatever you want to call them, an abritrarily-sized, contiguous, non-conglomerate LEGO object is removed
04:38
<@randolph>
x6
04:40
<+FerrelFerret_phone>
I see, just reread the rules...
04:41
<@randolph>
that's why the cover rules threads talk about "use larger bricks for flimsy cover, smaller bricks for hardier cover, or mix it"
04:44
<+FerrelFerret_phone>
Got it. Didn't catch that when I read them the first time. And I haven't read through the new releases rules section yet. Just the fluff. :)
04:45
<@randolph>
nod
04:46
<@randolph>
I meant in the forums, but there's a lot to catch up on if you only follow irregularly
04:49
<+FerrelFerret_phone>
Most of the rules make sense to me, from the first read through, and I kept up with the rules discussions. I guess I just missed the talk on cover.
04:51
<@randolph>
Gotcha

< KarolineDianne>
Well if it isn't the MOF0S
04:51
<@randolph>
There's certainly this undercurrent of grousing about the balance implications of bricksize determining cover effectiveness, but... well, a) cover is equally available and b) terrain setup is by mutal veto
04:51
<+FerrelFerret_phone>
Basically, my mind saw 3 bricks tall and got stuck on the bricks part. Over looking the whole pieces, not bricks, statement.
04:52
<@randolph>
Hey KD

04:59
< KarolineDianne>
What's this about cover?
05:00
<@randolph>
Don't judge a brick by it.

Hey, randolph!
11:18
<@Ced23Ric>
I know you read the backlog, so here goes.
11:18
<@Ced23Ric>
I received to letters this morning. One for you, one for Mittens. I apparently switched the addresses around and it took until now for them to get back to me.
11:19
<@Ced23Ric>
I sent them out again, with correct and double-checked addresses, and added some travis bricks and stickers to yours to make up for the delay.
11:19
<@Ced23Ric>
Mittens gets some more tiles and slopes in sand green to his 1x2 tiles (and stickers, too).
11:19
<@Ced23Ric>
I am sorry for that. :|

Well, at least I know why there was that sudden spike in Flickr views. It's those wacky Penny Arcade guys again.
15:58
< Malcolm>
It's only taken me the best part of half a day to realise that
16:04
< huhwhozat>
and apparently Tycho is interested in writing a short story for the universe. Cool :D
16:07
< Malcolm>
Not an area of interest for me, but cool nonetheless.
16:08
< Malcolm>
If it were Harlan Ellison writing a story, then I might be really interested!
16:08
< Malcolm>
But, it's great to get that kind of publicity
16:09

Really helps boost the image of the game
