| 03:51 | | Ced23Ric is now known as CedBed |
| 11:14 | | CedBed is now known as Ced23Ric |
| 11:14 | < Ced23Ric> | Morning! |
| 11:14 | < Ced23Ric> | Soren, you sexual tyrannosaurus. |
| 11:14 | < Ced23Ric> | Are you even awake? |
| 11:14 | < Soren> | After a fashion. |
| 11:15 | < Ced23Ric> | Still up, I presume. |
| 11:15 | < Soren> | Slept for a while, then woke up. |
| 11:15 | < Soren> | Going back to bed eventually. |
| 11:15 | < Ced23Ric> | Oh, time to implement the Ubermann sleep cycle! |
| 11:16 | < Ced23Ric> | Also, this JW guy might be become me new favourite person. |
| 11:16 | < Ced23Ric> | (Hmm, I can imagine someone saying, "I'm shooting at your frame behind the west end of that wall. When my shots hit cover, I'm going to take the pieces from the east end, for my own reasons." I can also imagine not wanting to play with that someone very much.) |
| 11:16 | < Soren> | Hah. |
| 13:15 | | Soren is now known as Soren[away] |
| 15:28 | | Mantisking [NSwebIRC@Nightstar-rg9mk7.ma.comcast.net] has joined #mf0 |
| 15:30 | < Mantisking> | Hello? |
| 15:31 | < Ced23Ric> | Heya Ray! |
| 15:32 | < Mantisking> | Hey. |
| 15:35 | < Mantisking> | How's things? |
| 15:35 | < Ced23Ric> | Pretty good! |
| 15:35 | < Ced23Ric> | I accidentially built three new weapons I really like. |
| 15:37 | < Mantisking> | I saw. |
| 15:37 | < Ced23Ric> | And I finally figured out how I want to take my photos. |
| 15:37 | < Ced23Ric> | So that was productive. |
| 15:37 | < Mantisking> | Yeah? |
| 15:37 | < Ced23Ric> | Yeah, with some tinkering with the aperture and exposure, manual focus, daylight and stack of white printer paper. |
| 15:39 | < Mantisking> | With the days getting longer over here I'll have more exposure to daylight. |
| 15:39 | < Ced23Ric> | Yeah, same. |
| 15:39 | < Mantisking> | And good weather so I can take my pictures outside. |
| 15:39 | < Ced23Ric> | Daylight is best light. |
| 15:40 | < Mantisking> | The worst part is I like to upgrade photos when I still have builds intact. |
| 15:40 | < Mantisking> | Which means I have a *lot* of old photos to upgrade. |
| 15:42 | < Ced23Ric> | Yeah. Use better light, and maybe change the angle. |
| 15:44 | < Mantisking> | I've got a better camera too and I've figured out how to edit photos as well. |
| 15:45 | < Mantisking> | Nice. 14.640 views for April. |
| 15:46 | < Ced23Ric> | That's a lot of views. Congrats. |
| 15:46 | < Mantisking> | 1,508 better than my last high point. |
| 15:59 | < Ced23Ric> | Hrm. |
| 16:00 | < Ced23Ric> | What do you feel is a good frame to go with Chubs? |
| 16:04 | < Mantisking> | Chubs tend to be a "stand by themselves" sort of frame. |
| 16:05 | < Mantisking> | I don't recall any mixed Chubs/other squads that looked really good to me. |
| 16:05 | < Ced23Ric> | Mhmm, yeah. |
| 16:05 | < Ced23Ric> | You can mix them, as one ofs, into other companies. |
| 16:05 | < Ced23Ric> | As "looted" Chubs. |
| 16:07 | < Mantisking> | Which is what some people have done with Ijad squads. |
| 16:07 | < Ced23Ric> | Yah, I saw that, too. I kind of liked it. |
| 16:18 | < Ced23Ric> | Mhmm. |
| 16:19 | < Ced23Ric> | 1 Captain, 1 Support, 3 Grunts. Leaves 3 Arty, or 2 Arty, 1 mixed. |
| 16:19 | < Ced23Ric> | I'll think about that for a bit. |
| 16:22 | < Mantisking> | Going for the full eight? |
| 16:24 | < Ced23Ric> | As per usual. |
| 16:24 | < Ced23Ric> | But that's all adaptable. |
| 16:59 | < Mantisking> | Sorry about the silence. I'm working on blog posts. |
| 16:59 | < Ced23Ric> | No worries. I'm tinkering with a drone. |
| 17:38 | < Mantisking> | Okay, that's one down. |
| 17:38 | < Ced23Ric> | splitrange DF/A drone: http://www.ced23ric.de/stuff/mf0/drone_artydirect.png |
| 17:40 | < Mantisking> | 1B too? |
| 17:40 | < Ced23Ric> | Well, I'd make that one out to be WW BYGRdRa |
| 17:40 | < Ced23Ric> | Looks chunky enough for B, doesn't it? |
| 17:44 | < Mantisking> | The skirt between the legs looks like armor to me. |
| 17:45 | < Ced23Ric> | Yeah, that was the intention. |
| 18:15 | < Ced23Ric> | http://www.ced23ric.de/stuff/mf0/desert_company.png |
| 18:30 | < Mantisking> | Looks good. Can you actually make thm in those colors? |
| 18:30 | < Ced23Ric> | Yeah, those are all legal colours. |
| 18:30 | < Ced23Ric> | I don't build in extended mode, so I don't run into that issue. |
| 19:55 | < Mantisking> | Just built two IO frigates. |
| 19:56 | < Ced23Ric> | Pictures soon? |
| 19:56 | < Mantisking> | Maybe. |
| 20:00 | < Ced23Ric> | Got 3 teams planned out. |
| 20:00 | < Ced23Ric> | 2 to go. |
| 20:00 | < Ced23Ric> | Team Yellow and Green. |
| 20:41 | < Ced23Ric> | Mhmm. |
| 20:41 | < Ced23Ric> | I need Soren. |
| 20:41 | < Ced23Ric> | But the fucker is asleep. |
| 20:42 | < Soren[away]> | No, actually! |
| 20:42 | | Soren[away] is now known as Soren |
| 20:42 | < Ced23Ric> | Sneaky bastard. |
| 20:42 | < Soren> | Yeah. |
| 20:42 | < Ced23Ric> | Soren, backpack Rumble Monkey, how? |
| 20:42 | < Soren> | For values of āsneakā that include āmaking lunchā |
| 20:43 | < Ced23Ric> | Also, that's a ringplate somehow. |
| 20:43 | < Ced23Ric> | But I can't figure it out because I have no backshot. |
| 20:44 | < Soren> | Itās one of these: http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=3839b and two 1x2 plates. |
| 20:45 | < Ced23Ric> | Okay ... and how those ammo packs? |
| 20:45 | < Ced23Ric> | https://www.flickr.com/photos/bricklovinfreakboy/6316097886/ |
| 20:45 | < Ced23Ric> | That backpack, I mean. |
| 20:45 | < Soren> | tile, 1x2 plate, 1x1 plate. |
| 20:45 | < Ced23Ric> | Okay and what is in the middle? |
| 20:45 | < Soren> | two ring plates. |
| 20:46 | < Ced23Ric> | OH. |
| 20:46 | < Ced23Ric> | Now I got it. |
| 20:46 | < Ced23Ric> | Thanks. |
| 20:46 | < Ced23Ric> | Derp. |
| 20:46 | < Soren> | So simple it must be wrong, yeah |
| 20:47 | < Ced23Ric> | I was throwing ringplates errywhere and was like "Nah, this isn't right." |
| 20:47 | < Soren> | When in doubt, assume Iām stingy with parts. |
| 20:48 | < Ced23Ric> | What keeps the upper assembly (1x2 brick with hole, two taps) together on the back? |
| 20:48 | < Ced23Ric> | 2x2 plate? |
| 20:48 | < Soren> | no, the backpack does. |
| 20:49 | < Ced23Ric> | ... which is the 1x2 plate with bars and a 1x1, but vertical. |
| 20:49 | < Ced23Ric> | *1x2 |
| 20:49 | < Soren> | yup. |
| 20:49 | < Soren> | Itās very straightforward. |
| 20:49 | < Ced23Ric> | So like the Chub. |
| 20:50 | < Ced23Ric> | Sweet. |
| 20:50 | < Ced23Ric> | Alright. |
| 20:50 | < Ced23Ric> | I think I'll change the torso, because it might be too lose for demo play. |
| 20:52 | < Ced23Ric> | By the by, since LDD refuses the connection - the helmet and the diver visor fit forced, right? |
| 20:52 | < Soren> | No force! IT fits nicely |
| 20:52 | < Ced23Ric> | But there's probably some super minor snag. |
| 20:52 | < Ced23Ric> | Or LDD doesn't KNOW that fits. |
| 20:54 | < Soren> | Either is plausible. |
| 22:12 | < Ced23Ric> | http://www.ced23ric.de/stuff/mf0/demoteams.png |
| 22:46 | < Mantisking> | Team Blue looks more like Team White. |
| 22:47 | < Ced23Ric> | Well, then team green looks more like team grey, too. |
| 22:47 | < Ced23Ric> | But even if, no matter - they are clearly distinct from the others. |
| 22:47 | < Ced23Ric> | But, I guess you are right. |
| 22:47 | < Ced23Ric> | They are more white than blue. |
