| 16:09 | < LowestFormOfWit> | Wow. Never try to IRC on a kindle. It is hell trying to do pull up the keyboard. |
| 16:09 | < LowestFormOfWit> | *to |

| 16:22 | < afny> | ? |

| 17:01 | < afny> | hm |
| 17:01 | < afny> | I don't know if I want to start |
| 17:01 | < afny> | an MF0 blog |
| 17:01 | < afny> | or just a blog. |

| 17:11 | < LFOW> | Ugh. Anyway. |
| 17:12 | < LFOW> | If not an MFZ blog...what would the focus be? |
| 17:12 | < LFOW> | (spent 10 mins trying to get the keyboard open to respond) |
| 17:14 | < afny> | uh |
| 17:14 | < afny> | blogging. |
| 17:15 | < afny> | I don't think blogs really need a focus |
| 17:15 | < afny> | even blogs with a focus, if that makes any sense. |
| 17:15 | < afny> | I mean if I made a non-MF0 blog, I would include MF0 posts |
| 17:16 | < afny> | since it's a major interest |
| 17:17 | < LFOW> | In that case...would it matter? Or are you just really debating making a blog period? |
| 17:19 | < afny> | I guess I'm just thinking about the scope |
| 17:19 | < afny> | because I'm picking a name--an MF0 blog should have an MF0 oriented name |
| 17:19 | < afny> | or maybe I want to write about games in general |
| 17:19 | < afny> | or maybe about life |
| 17:19 | < afny> | which includes games. |
| 17:20 | < afny> | THUS IS MY DILEMMA. |
| 17:20 | < LFOW> | Hmmm.. |
| 17:20 | < LFOW> | Clever title? Or just relevant title? |
| 17:21 | < LFOW> | Or both.. |
| 17:22 | < afny> | most likely both |
| 17:22 | < afny> | but not nauseatingly clever |
| 17:23 | < LFOW> | In any case I would like more MFZ blogs....or blogs that have more MFZ content. Been a stale run lately. |
| 17:23 | < LFOW> | Not Nauseatingly Clever woild actually be a good name for a general blog. |
| 17:24 | < LFOW> | *would.....damn this kindle |
| 17:27 | < afny> | yeah but |
| 17:27 | < afny> | in titling that |
| 17:27 | < afny> | it'd become the very thing it claims not to be |
| 17:27 | < afny> | the thing is |
| 17:27 | < LFOW> | I've debated blogging for MFZ, but I don't know if I could keep from OCDing all over it. |
| 17:27 | < afny> | well yeah, I'll have that problem too |
| 17:27 | < afny> | but I think I'd also end up being a huge dick |
| 17:28 | < afny> | I mean, Malcolm says he might make people cry |
| 17:28 | < afny> | but |
| 17:28 | < afny> | I might make people reach for the pitchfork |
| 17:30 | < LFOW> | That isn't always a problem. |
| 17:30 | < afny> | Well, a lack of diplomacy in a very small community |
| 17:30 | < afny> | just seems like it might be bad. |
| 17:30 | < afny> | I did like, almost drive KD to suicide by ranting on about the evils of warhammer last time she was in here |
| 17:31 | < LFOW> | I think that actually helps. The community is so small, those who read the MFZ blogs will probably read what few blogs arenactive anyway. Even if its stuff that makes them want to kill you. |
| 17:31 | < afny> | I guess I can just make two blogs |
| 17:32 | < LFOW> | The MFZ blog and the " Hey I'm a dick" blog? |
| 17:32 | < afny> | no no, the dickish MFZ blog |
| 17:32 | < afny> | and then a general one |
| 17:33 | < afny> | where I might sometimes infringe on dick territory, but not always act with that intent. |
| 17:33 | < LFOW> | Not worried about cross pollenation.....or poisoning with two blogs? |
| 17:34 | < LFOW> | I don't think I could handle keeping one blog up very well" much less multiple. |
| 17:34 | < afny> | well, the bar isn't very high for mfz blogs |
| 17:35 | < afny> | one post a month would be THRIVING by today's standard |
| 17:35 | < LFOW> | Also, that quote wants to be a comma. |
| 17:35 | < LFOW> | True. |
| 17:35 | < LFOW> | This community is as small as Cortex Command's forum, heh. |
| 17:36 | < afny> | :O I like Cortex command |
| 17:36 | < afny> | haven't played it since a pretty old build though |
| 17:36 | < afny> | also I think the community has one more chance to explode |
| 17:36 | < afny> | especially now that forum registration is (sort of) fixed |
| 17:36 | < afny> | I think when the book comes out, we'll get another Tycho post |
| 17:36 | < LFOW> | I modded it frok build 20 to 24 |
| 17:37 | < afny> | either he'll post his custom company when the book comes out, or he'll post a short story in SC |
| 17:37 | < LFOW> | I think I got in before it was broken |
| 17:37 | < afny> | I didn't know it was broken |
| 17:37 | < afny> | I only played it a little |
| 17:37 | < afny> | like...two years ago maybe? |
| 17:38 | < LFOW> | Fun but under loved. |
| 17:38 | < LFOW> | Lack of serious dev time. |
| 17:39 | < LFOW> | Shame really. They released it on Steam and I think that's a Fuck it I'm out from them. |
| 17:45 | < LFOW> | We are in the top 5 contributers to thr flickr. |
| 17:45 | < LFOW> | Cool. |
| 17:47 | < LFOW> | iI wonder how big MFZ will get. |
| 17:48 | < LFOW> | Seems to be steadily growing despite the kickstater being over some time ago and the book not being out yet. |
| 17:51 | < afny> | I decided to not get too serious about demoing until the book is actually out |
| 17:52 | < LFOW> | I'm not in a demo friendly region. |
| 17:52 | < LFOW> | Can bardly get my friend into it. |
| 17:52 | < afny> | same, that's why I want to demo lol |
| 17:52 | < afny> | any game stores that aren't awful within a reasonable distance? |
| 17:56 | < LFOW> | Closest thing I would try is our comic shop |
| 17:56 | < LFOW> | They do MTG and some ither junk as well |
| 17:56 | < afny> | if they have tables it's worth a shot |
| 17:56 | < LFOW> | Also theys ell soke W40K but I am positive nobody has played it there. |
| 17:56 | < afny> | could be a good sign |
| 17:56 | < afny> | lol |
| 17:56 | < LFOW> | I was going to tsl |
| 17:57 | < LFOW> | Talk to the guys that own it about MFZ. Show em some models etc. |
| 17:58 | < LFOW> | Bu again, nit the best region for this kind of stuff. |
| 17:58 | < afny> | just low pop.? |
| 17:58 | < LFOW> | Curse these tiny nonresponsive keys. |
| 17:58 | < afny> | you're in TX right? what part? |
| 17:59 | < LFOW> | Low pop low nerd low income. |
| 17:59 | < afny> | yeah |
| 17:59 | < LFOW> | As south as TX gets before being another country. |
| 17:59 | < afny> | same here I guess, but there are places within an hour or so that would be better |
| 18:00 | < afny> | so it's slightly realistic |
| 18:00 | < LFOW> | Closest "big" city is Corpus Christi |
| 18:00 | < LFOW> | And thats a solid two plus hours north |
| 18:00 | < afny> | really though, it isn't the kind of game you need a huge thriving community four |
| 18:00 | < afny> | three people with common interests would be enough for a campaign |
| 18:00 | < afny> | er |
| 18:00 | < afny> | -u from that |
| 18:01 | < afny> | I was counting backwards |
| 18:01 | < LFOW> | Heh. |
| 18:02 | < LFOW> | I'd totally be active in a more ideal locale. Might even try my hand at commissions or something. |
| 18:02 | < afny> | I've idly thought about doing that like Greg is, but honestly |
| 18:03 | < afny> | trying to buy and sell lego for a profit seems like it'd take up wayyyy too much of my processing power |
| 18:03 | < LFOW> | Yeah that's where I'm at. |
| 18:03 | < afny> | getting good deals on bricklink is like a full time job |
| 18:03 | < LFOW> | Getting regular orders from BL is a full time job... |
| 18:04 | < afny> | basically fuck bricklink |
| 18:05 | < LFOW> | I wish I could filter by state or have a "This store is selling the crao on your wanted list for a total of X" and I ciuld just compsre shipping... |
| 18:05 | < afny> | really now that I have a good idea of what pieces exist, I don't mind the interface |
| 18:05 | < afny> | though the profile system realy sucks |
| 18:05 | < LFOW> | Crao is crap obviously |
| 18:05 | < afny> | I don't even use my wanted list anymore because it was too much of a hassle to go back and add every piece with no color limitations |
| 18:05 | < afny> | I just have a rough idea of what pieces are called |
| 18:05 | < afny> | and if I don't know I ask Soren :P |
| 18:06 | < LFOW> | Yeah hah. |
| 18:06 | < LFOW> | I got all I need for my twk main factikn |
| 18:06 | < LFOW> | factionsnjeez |
| 18:06 | < LFOW> | ....ugh. |
| 18:07 | < LFOW> | Two. main. factions. |
| 18:07 | < afny> | I'm still missing a couple things |
| 18:07 | < afny> | mainly some 3x3 dishes for my Ijad company |
| 18:07 | < afny> | and black taps |
| 18:07 | < afny> | of which I only have 10 |
| 18:07 | < LFOW> | Yeah I just ordered like 20 somethjng of thozd |
| 18:07 | < afny> | I have four companies of six right now |
| 18:08 | < afny> | yeah I had a cart full but then I let it expire |
| 18:08 | < afny> | I've still only done one bricklink order |
| 18:08 | < LFOW> | I have done an unhealthy amount. |
| 18:08 | < afny> | I just don't really have the cash |
| 18:08 | < LFOW> | Probably 12 or so small ones since April. |
| 18:09 | < afny> | honestly Ced's care package doubled my standing army |
| 18:09 | < afny> | lol |
| 18:09 | < LFOW> | Hah. He looks like he had a lot to spare. |
| 18:09 | < LFOW> | Guy |
| 18:09 | < afny> | I think he was just so used to spending ridiculous ammounts of money on warhammer |
| 18:09 | < LFOW> | Had so many frames in the background. |
| 18:09 | < afny> | and also LEGO is cheap over there |
| 18:09 | < LFOW> | Yeah |
| 18:10 | < LFOW> | If you can buy W40k MFZ is a drop |
| 18:10 | < afny> | yeah |
| 18:10 | < afny> | at least if you're willing to trawl BL |
| 18:10 | < LFOW> | I still have my old 40k models from my teens |
| 18:10 | < LFOW> | Wonder if I should sell them off |
| 18:10 | < afny> | I never was into it |
| 18:10 | < afny> | I played a little heroclix, though |
| 18:11 | < afny> | but only cause I could play as Hellboy :P |
| 18:11 | < LFOW> | It was fun when I had a groip to play with weekly |
| 18:11 | < LFOW> | I'd love a weekly MFZ party |
| 18:11 | < afny> | yeah, same |
| 18:12 | < afny> | Soren showed me this, like, model to generate factions |
| 18:12 | < afny> | and it made me reaaally want to start a campaign |
| 18:12 | < LFOW> | But I don't like people |
| 18:12 | < afny> | haha, yeah |
| 18:12 | < LFOW> | Hard to find people I can tolorate that also share the interedt |
| 18:13 | < afny> | I have the same problem |
| 18:13 | < LFOW> | Because most nerds are horribly insufferable. |
| 18:13 | < afny> | ESPECIALLY wargame nerds |
| 18:13 | < LFOW> | It's a tainted demographic |
| 18:13 | < afny> | at least in my experience |
| 18:13 | < LFOW> | Yeah |
| 18:14 | < afny> | that's the thing, like |
| 18:14 | < afny> | so many aspects of MFZ appeal to people outside that demographic |
| 18:14 | < LFOW> | Anything involving a closed space with little hygeine and insufficient AC |
| 18:14 | < afny> | but not in any coherent way; there's still no built in audience outside wargamers |
| 18:14 | < afny> | oh god, and if you want to eat anything other than pizza and drink anything other than soda |
| 18:14 | < afny> | you're just shit out of luck |
| 18:14 | < LFOW> | I know! |
| 18:16 | < LFOW> | I'll eat a pizza now and again but I stopped soda in high school. |
| 18:16 | < afny> | yeah, nothing against pizza |
| 18:16 | < afny> | but a little diversity wouldn't hurt |
| 18:17 | < afny> | when I was in college |
| 18:17 | < afny> | I went to the gaming club (one time) |
| 18:17 | < afny> | and after about fifteen minutes, some club official came in |
| 18:17 | < afny> | and told everyone they had to leave because they needed somewhere to store all the soda for some event later in the week |
| 18:17 | < afny> | they literally carted in like three carts worth of soda and locked it in the room |
| 18:18 | < afny> | and I honestly believe that kind of behavior is the norm for gamers :\ |
| 18:18 | < afny> | like, shit, I live a sedentary life and I know it's unhealthy |
| 18:18 | < afny> | but I at least try to eat right to balance it out a little -_- |
| 18:20 | < LFOW> | Yeah the worst part |
| 18:20 | < LFOW> | Is J could have been one of the cretins I now loathe to be around |
| 18:21 | < LFOW> | My GF is cut from much different cloth and pulled me out of dark nerd hell |
| 18:21 | < LFOW> | It is kind of sad |
| 18:22 | < afny> | hey, at least you got out |
| 18:22 | < afny> | lol |
| 18:22 | < afny> | the good thing is, once you get out of the cave |
| 18:22 | < afny> | you can't go back |
| 18:22 | < LFOW> | I like doing nerdy things....games...select anime...legos.....did skme nerf modding for awhile |
| 18:22 | < afny> | I failed so hard at nerf modding |
| 18:22 | < afny> | broke a maverick and then just gave up |
| 18:22 | < afny> | declared myself a nerf pacifist |
| 18:22 | < LFOW> | But the general people who also enjoy those ai can't stand to be around |
| 18:23 | < LFOW> | Heh |
| 18:23 | < afny> | I find I just can't stand most people in general |
| 18:23 | < afny> | it certainly SEEMS there is a higher concentration of people I can't stand in the default nerd subcultures, but that might just be confirmation bias |
| 18:23 | < LFOW> | I have like 8 mavericks....most for sub 2 bucks from a thrift shop |
| 18:23 | < afny> | I still have some, but they're all vanilla |
| 18:23 | < afny> | and one is broken |
| 18:24 | < afny> | I think I have one of the smaller ones from that era, too |
| 18:24 | < afny> | that's such an iconic toy |
| 18:24 | < afny> | the maverick I mean |
| 18:25 | < afny> | okay, so |
| 18:25 | < afny> | for a blog name |
| 18:25 | < afny> | what about "Twenty Thousand Stud War" |
| 18:26 | < afny> | twenty thousand studs being roughly the area of a standard MF0 battlefield |
| 18:26 | < afny> | or does it conjure up the image of twenty thousand buff guys fighting? |
