| 00:47 | < Mantisking> | Hello. |
| 00:48 | < Soren> | Hello. |
| 00:48 | < Soren> | Assembling funiture has worn me down. But things are much tidier in here. |
| 00:48 | < Mantisking> | I'm trying to fold laundry. |
| 00:51 | < Mantisking> | Well, maybe I should say I'm trying to work up the motivation to fold laundty. |
| 00:51 | < Soren> | I understand. |
| 00:52 | < Mantisking> | So I skimmed through the chat logs earlier, Ced's trying to assemble a list of sub 100 piece designs? |
| 00:53 | < Soren> | sub-60. |
| 00:53 | < Soren> | And I dared him to make it sub-45. |
| 00:53 | < Soren> | Because Iām a hateful jerk. |
| 00:54 | < Mantisking> | Heh. Got that covered. http://the-mobile-frame-garage.blogspot.com/2012/06/tmoh.html |
| 00:57 | < Mantisking> | I should do an inventory of my designs and see how many fit. |
| 01:08 | < Soren> | More than youād think. It doesnāt take a lot to make a robot. |
| 01:11 | < Mantisking> | True. |
| 01:14 | < Soren> | Oh, tangentially: http://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/were-drinking-through-whiskey-supplies- faster-distillers-can-make-more-180951390/?no-ist |
| 01:15 | < Soren> | Standard disclaimer applies, bourbon is not whiskey, etc, but interesting just the same. |
| 01:17 | < Mantisking> | Bourbon is whisk(e)y. Scotch is whisk(e)y. |
| 01:17 | < Mantisking> | Etc. |
| 01:17 | < Soren> | Yeah, Well, Iāve heard both. Itās contentious. |
| 01:18 | < Mantisking> | Americans and Irish tend to spell it whiskey, Scots tend to spell it whisky. |
| 01:18 | < Mantisking> | It's all the same stuff. |
| 01:18 | < Mantisking> | And the explosion in popularity of whisk(e)y has led to shortages in stocks and a jump in prices. |
| 01:19 | < Soren> | Well, like all distilled spirits, itās a matter of fine distinctions. |
| 01:19 | < Mantisking> | The problem with things like this is they really can't be predicted when you're laying down stock. |
| 01:19 | < Soren> | But I defer to your greater expertise. |
| 01:19 | < Soren> | Yeah. Well, itās a problem with luxury foodstuffs generally. |
| 01:19 | < Mantisking> | Yup. |
| 01:19 | < Soren> | The market for cheeses is even weirder. |
| 01:20 | < Mantisking> | Everybody in the industry is trying to figure out if the expansion bubble is going to burst. |
| 01:20 | < Soren> | Or rather, when itās going to burst and whoās going to get it in the shorts. |
| 01:20 | < Soren> | Every bubble bursts, but timing matters. |
| 01:21 | < Mantisking> | The bubble bursts and evryone gets it. |
| 01:21 | < Soren> | Everyone gets some, a few people get all. |
| 01:21 | < Mantisking> | The industry tends to rise and fall as a whole. |
| 01:22 | < Mantisking> | There will be a few outliers that will be perrenially popular, but that's the same for any industry. |
| 01:22 | < Soren> | The existing industry, sure. |
| 01:22 | < Soren> | Itās people trying to cash in on the bubble who really screw themselves, though. |
| 01:22 | < Mantisking> | True. |
| 01:23 | < Mantisking> | It may be already too late, depending on how long your stock takes to get to market. |
| 01:23 | < Soren> | Now might be the time to start making whiskeyā¦ and then the bubble bursts before your second or third batch, the one that was going to pay off the last of your startup costs, is ready to go. |
| 01:23 | < Soren> | Well, a decade or more is a shitload of time to be planning ahead. |
| 01:24 | < Mantisking> | A lot of "craft" whisky makers are relying on white dog -- unaged spirit -- to pay off the bills. |
| 01:24 | < Soren> | Especially since the really terminal fashion victims will bail out in tweleve to eighteen months. |
| 01:24 | < Soren> | -e |
| 01:25 | < Mantisking> | The last time there was a bust in the 80's, a lot of distilleries closed permanently. |
| 01:25 | < Soren> | I think the aritcleās suggestion to look into gin is a good one. Itās the logical step once the bubble bursts. |
| 01:26 | < Soren> | article* |
| 01:27 | < Mantisking> | I like maybe two gins. I have a bottle of one of them on my shelf. |
| 01:30 | < Mantisking> | Eight Scotch distilleries closed in 1983, six in 1985. |
| 01:30 | < Soren> | Yeah, I have the same problem with gin. One or two are okay, the rest taste like hatred. |
| 01:32 | < Mantisking> | Pine needles in soda water for me. |
| 01:32 | < Mantisking> | Which ones do you "like". |
| 01:32 | < Soren> | -But ginās very easy to produce, and the whiskey bubble is going to leave at least one person out there with a still and permits but no hope of making money without a product they can turn around quickly. |
| 01:32 | < Soren> | hmm. Itās been a while. |
| 01:33 | < Soren> | very, very dry gins, though, are good. |
| 01:33 | < Soren> | Itās not a spirit I drink straight, so itās less important to me to recall names precisely. |
| 01:34 | < Soren> | Bombay Extra Dry is not bad. |
| 01:34 | < Mantisking> | Botanist and Moody June are the two I like and am willing to drink straight. |
| 01:34 | < Soren> | I will keep those in mind. |
| 01:36 | < Mantisking> | Botanist is from the Scotch distillery Bruichladdich on Islay. |
| 01:36 | < Mantisking> | Moody June is from Bone Spirits in Texas. |
| 01:37 | < Soren> | Yeah, looking them up. |
| 01:37 | < Soren> | Iām pretty sure iāve heard good things about Botanist before. The other is completely new to me. |
| 01:38 | < Soren> | Ah, no wonder, itās extremely new. |
| 01:38 | < Soren> | Also extremely promising. |
| 01:39 | < Soren> | And if itās corn-based, Julie can drink it safely, so itās worth investigating. |
| 01:40 | < Mantisking> | I went to a tasting by Bone Spirits in September of last year. The gin was the thing I rated highest. |
| 01:40 | < Soren> | yeah, this sounds delicious. |
| 01:41 | < Mantisking> | It's very smooth, not bitey at all. |
| 01:41 | < Mantisking> | The bottle says 100% grain neutral spirits. |
| 01:42 | < Soren> | Yeah, weāre just paranoid. |
| 01:43 | < Soren> | Hmmmm. |
| 01:43 | < Mantisking> | If you have a problem with gluten, I can understand. |
| 01:43 | < Soren> | Iāve made wine gums with fruit pectin and lemon peel before. This might be a candidate to try gin gums with. |
| 01:44 | < Soren> | Might be weird, might be delicious. |
| 01:44 | < Soren> | POtentially both. |
| 01:45 | < Mantisking> | Weird and delicious is fun. |
| 01:45 | < Soren> | Yeah. |
| 01:45 | < Soren> | A nice Cabernet jelly in fruit salad turns out to be awesome, BTW. |
| 01:48 | < Mantisking> | I'll try to keep that in mind. :-) |
| 01:49 | < Mantisking> | I just dug up back links to the old "Soren's Errata Frames" posts. |
| 01:50 | < Soren> | Oh? |
| 01:52 | < Mantisking> | Addking just put up number six, so I figured as a public service I should post links to the other five in that topic. |
| 01:52 | < Soren> | Probably! |
| 01:53 | < Soren> | Iām glad heās putting those designs out there. |
| 01:54 | < Soren> | They were fun to build, and every set of instructions we can point people to is an opportunity for new people to learn something. |
| 01:55 | < Mantisking> | Did you change the access level to those files in the dropbox? There's a lot of broken links in his posts |
| 01:55 | < Soren> | No? |
| 01:56 | < Soren> | I may have moved around/renamed things. |
| 02:00 | < Mantisking> | That would explain the broken links. |
| 02:00 | < Mantisking> | I should ramble through that again some time. |
| 02:13 | < FlakManiak> | Hmm. So out of the colors these two come in: http://www.bricklink.com/catalogList.asp?q=wedge%20plate%206%20x%203 |
| 02:13 | < FlakManiak> | I need to pick one for my new dragon. I just want 'em in red! Is that too much to aske? |
| 02:16 | < Mantisking> | I think I saw those on the Natick, MA PaB wall last night. |
| 02:17 | < FlakManiak> | In what color? |
| 02:17 | < Mantisking> | Light Bley. |
| 02:19 | < FlakManiak> | Light bleh, if you ask me. Though a grey dragon wouldn't be half-bad now that I think about it. A dragon made of stone or whatever is pretty cool. |
| 02:20 | < FlakManiak> | I could do dark red I guess, but I've already got a giant build in dark red. |
| 02:21 | < Mantisking> | Light Bley with Dark Red accents. |
| 02:24 | < FlakManiak> | I really don't want to have to use blue. I would say something about how I don't like blue dragons and dragons should be red. What I should say instead is that while dark blue is a perfectly badass color for somewhat dragon-like frames, regular blue certainly doesn't cut it for something even more draconic, where I want red. |
| 02:24 | | mraichelson [mraichelson@Nightstar-cvmeup.client.mchsi.com] has joined #mf0 |
| 02:24 | < FlakManiak> | I guess I could use dark blue but that's kind of repeating myself. |
| 02:26 | < FlakManiak> | Hmm. LDD gives me a very crappy idea of what light bley vs. dark bley would look like in the brick. |
| 02:27 | < FlakManiak> | Crazy idea: Get a bunch of dark bley Travises and other innards for this mech, and have the exterior be black. |
| 02:29 | | * mraichelson wrinkles his nose |
| 02:29 | < Mantisking> | Considering black travis bricks are on the PaB wall.... |
| 02:29 | < Mantisking> | Hey, Mike. |
| 02:29 | < mraichelson> | hola |
| 02:30 | < mraichelson> | 1- black travises will be cheaper than other colors. |
| 02:30 | < mraichelson> | 2- personal bias against black for anything meant to show detail or texture. |
| 02:33 | < Mantisking> | If the travis bricks are meant to be innards, then they're the skeleton -- not detail or texture. |
| 02:35 | < mraichelson> | yeah, i more meant in terms of having a black exterior with that part. |
| 02:36 | < FlakManiak> | Yeah, black exteriors are hard to do right. But black dragons are cool. |
| 02:37 | < Mantisking> | Enh, acid spitters. :-) |
| 02:39 | < FlakManiak> | A yellow dragon would just look silly. |
| 02:41 | < FlakManiak> | Okay after looking at a bunch of colors, I guess dark red it is. It's a shame I can't get regular red. |
| 02:45 | < FlakManiak> | Hmm. Black over gray looks strange. |
| 02:51 | < FlakManiak> | I have another, crazier idea... Aesthetically strange, but maybe awesome. |
| 02:52 | < FlakManiak> | Black armor, and the innards in reds and oranges, to paint a dragon mech that's molten on the inside. |
| 02:54 | < FlakManiak> | But... It's very hard to get this to look right. |
| 02:58 | < Soren> | Itās worth trying. |
| 02:58 | < mraichelson> | molten innards and black outers sounds ādeathwingā-y to me. :) |
| 02:58 | < mraichelson> | http://img1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20110928192810/wowwiki/images/4/45/Deathwing, _the_Destroyer_TCG.jpg |
| 02:59 | < Soren> | I would suggest a System/Technic skeleton in reds and oranges, and use Bionicle bits and other wing or panel pieces to skin it |
| 03:03 | < Mantisking> | AFK. |
| 03:13 | | DSMK2 [DSMK2@Nightstar-bbkifa.fios.verizon.net] has joined #mf0 |
| 03:13 | < DSMK2> | Lo |
| 03:13 | < mraichelson> | hola |
| 03:15 | < DSMK2> | Anything up? |
| 03:15 | < mraichelson> | a little chatter not too long ago but not a whole lot going down tonight it seems. |
| 03:16 | < DSMK2> | It seems like you guys are more active in the noon/early evening |
| 03:16 | < Soren> | Much sound and fury, signifying tired, essentially. |
| 03:16 | < Soren> | Depends. |
| 03:18 | < DSMK2> | Mmm. |
| 03:18 | < Soren> | http://www.bricklink.com/store.asp?p=mscjp4&itemID=56977472 ohohoho. |
| 03:18 | < DSMK2> | Mmmmm. |
| 03:18 | < Soren> | If only someone here were doing ahite-and-trans-light-blue Ijad, or something. |
| 03:18 | < Soren> | white* |
| 03:19 | < DSMK2> | Crystal deco? |
| 03:19 | < mraichelson> | someone should totally get on that idea. |
| 03:19 | < Soren> | Yeah. I mean, for fifteen cents, theyād be crazy not to. |
| 03:20 | < mraichelson> | āi know i said no more lego orders, honey. but soren MADE me." |
| 03:21 | < Soren> | Well, thereās no minimum order, so weāre talking price of a cup of coffee with shipping. Cheap coffee, from a vending machine. |
| 03:21 | < DSMK2> | Dat artifical sugary taste ~_~ |
| 03:22 | | Mantisking [NSwebIRC@Nightstar-rg9mk7.ma.comcast.net] has quit [Ping timeout: 121 seconds] |
| 03:22 | < Soren> | Tastes likeā¦ deadlines. |
| 03:22 | < mraichelson> | ooh, he has a couple white bionicle armor parts i might be able to use on my thumper too. |
| 03:22 | < DSMK2> | http://i.imgur.com/3XlTCva.jpg |
| 03:23 | < DSMK2> | I think I have enough frames. |
| 03:23 | < DSMK2> | But minds running around the dice limit :V |
| 03:23 | < mraichelson> | āenough framesā? |
| 03:23 | < mraichelson> | thatās a thing? :) |
| 03:24 | < DSMK2> | For a squad ._. |
| 03:24 | | * DSMK2 should go on bricklink and get plates and rounded slope pieces |
| 03:25 | < Soren> | Always a good plan. |
| 03:25 | < DSMK2> | Guns and equipment are harder to design :( |
| 03:25 | < Soren> | I am quite fond of the wheel fairing in the chest of those guys. |
| 03:26 | < DSMK2> | That has been said |
| 03:26 | < Soren> | Well Iām saying it again. |
| 03:26 | < Soren> | Because itās still true. |
| 03:26 | < DSMK2> | Thankyee |
| 03:29 | < DSMK2> | They're all larger than a chub though :S |
| 03:30 | < Soren> | Eh. theyāre neat looking. |
| 03:30 | < Soren> | Planty of my stuff is larger than a Chub. Itās one possible standard, not the only one. |
| 03:30 | < Soren> | plenty* |
| 03:30 | < Soren> | Apparently I am also typing like shit today. |
| 03:30 | < DSMK2> | Beer and tiredness involved? |
| 03:31 | < Soren> | Just tiredness, unfortunately. |
| 03:31 | < DSMK2> | Mmmm. |
| 03:33 | < DSMK2> | Got my bricklink order in and got some weird clips instead of what I ordered. |
| 03:33 | < DSMK2> | http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=15712 |
| 03:33 | < DSMK2> | Used this before? |
| 03:34 | < Soren> | Nope, never seen it. |
| 03:34 | < Soren> | weeeeird. |
| 03:34 | < DSMK2> | Thought it was from a non-lego set at first |
| 03:34 | < DSMK2> | I ordered the regular regular clip and got a bunch of those instead, contacted the seller about it |
| 03:35 | < DSMK2> | Might be a good sword holder now that I think of it |
| 03:35 | < Soren> | mm. I can think of a sitation or two where it could come in handy. |
| 03:35 | < Soren> | Hunh. I wonder if theyāre switching over to that. i should ask Mark, I guess. |
| 03:35 | < DSMK2> | Not much lots on bricklink though ._. |
| 03:36 | < Soren> | It might be sturdier, since thereās more room fo rthe clip to flex. |
| 03:36 | < Soren> | for* |
| 03:37 | < DSMK2> | Possibly better for some join designs as well, without the side slopes getting in the way |
| 03:37 | < DSMK2> | joint* |
| 03:47 | < DSMK2> | I kinda wonder if the MF0-verse has MKVs... |
| 03:50 | < Soren> | Almost certainly. |
| 03:52 | < Soren> | In general, when you ask if a universe with impractical cool things like giant robots also has other, less-impractical cool things, the answer is probably āyesā. |
| 03:53 | < DSMK2> | I'll note that. |
| 03:54 | < DSMK2> | Agh, your air of authority is paralyzing my ability to reply |
| 03:56 | < Soren> | Iāll try to mix in more dick jokes. |
| 03:56 | < DSMK2> | That will help |
| 03:56 | < Soren> | Really, we make this shit up on the fly. When you guys ask, I or J will think about it and answer with whatever we think up in thirty seconds or less. |
| 03:57 | < Soren> | Sometimes Wikipedia gets used. |
| 03:57 | < Soren> | But thatās about it. |
| 03:57 | < DSMK2> | Too bad MKVs won't really see the light of day ;_; |
| 03:57 | < Soren> | Well, theyāre kind of a program without a mission. |
| 03:57 | < DSMK2> | Yeah |
| 03:57 | < Soren> | Like many aerospace projects. |
| 03:57 | < DSMK2> | Really cool hovering though |
| 03:58 | < Soren> | Oh, the way they move is amazing. |
| 03:58 | < DSMK2> | THere's that animation where they're homing drones with lasers |

| 05:56 | < locas> | I read some backlog from the hangar, I see where ced said he got educated about gender neutral pronouns :P |
| 05:57 | < Soren> | yeeeeeah. |
| 05:57 | < Soren> | It was less like an education and more like an emergency repair job. |
| 08:00 | < FlakManiak> | Hmm. LDD really doesn't show the colors very well. |
| 08:00 | < FlakManiak> | This would all be so much simpler if 6x3 wedge plates just came in red. Then there would be zero decisions, just "buy the parts to make this thing". |
| 08:02 | < FlakManiak> | I mean I could build this in dark red. That's close to as good as red. |
| 08:17 | < Bed23Ric> | Emma. Soren. Flak. |
| 08:17 | | Bed23Ric is now known as Ced23Ric |
| 08:17 | < Ced23Ric> | Hallo. |
| 08:22 | < FlakManiak> | Hmm. Do any of you have a giant sum of money with which to convince Lego to make 6x3 wedge plates in red? |
| 08:22 | < Ced23Ric> | Probably not? |
| 08:24 | < FlakManiak> | Well, thought I'd ask. |
| 08:24 | < FlakManiak> | Maybe Lego will oblige me eventually. I suppose until then dark red will have to do. |
| 08:24 | < Ced23Ric> | It is not exactly a highly sought after part. |
| 08:26 | < FlakManiak> | Maybe so, but I need dragon wings in more colors. |
| 08:28 | < FlakManiak> | And you would think that it would come in red, at least. |
| 08:28 | < FlakManiak> | I suppose in retrospect I'm lucky it comes in dark red and dark blue. |
| 08:28 | < FlakManiak> | Thank you, Lego, for enabling the blue dragons. |
| 08:30 | < FlakManiak> | I almost want to sell the blue dragons but I don't think I could part with them. Perhaps I should see if anyone wants the purple guys. |
| 08:31 | < FlakManiak> | (Both of those companies aren't really ready for gameplay and it would take a ton of design work or some serious compromises to get them there.) |
| 08:39 | < locas> | maybe I'm crazy here but can't you just use a 6x2 and a 6x1? |
| 08:40 | < Ced23Ric> | You're crazy. |
| 08:41 | < locas> | hm. |
| 08:41 | < Ced23Ric> | I also taught 4chan about MOTORS AND BUTTS. |
| 08:41 | < locas> | I'm glad they are getting an education |
| 08:41 | < Ced23Ric> | reaction: MOTORS and BUTTS! Sounds like a nudie mag. I'd read it. For the articles and stuff. I-It's not like I like BUTTS or anything. |
| 08:47 | < locas> | 4chan -_- |
| 08:48 | < Ced23Ric> | I actually like the MF0 General. |
| 08:48 | < Ced23Ric> | http://boards.4chan.org/tg/thread/32119070/mobile-frame-zero-mf0-general-009#p32 119070 |
| 08:56 | < FlakManiak> | My new goal: Make enough impressive builds that random anons on 4chan post pictures of them. |
| 08:57 | < locas> | apparently I already hit that level |
| 08:57 | < locas> | because Ced is a diehard fan |
| 08:57 | < locas> | so |
| 08:57 | < locas> | just impress ced |
| 08:57 | < locas> | and you'll accomplish your goal |
| 08:59 | < locas> | the great thing about being anonymous is that you can be your own biggest fan |
| 09:00 | < Ced23Ric> | Actually ... I got my own fans now. |
| 09:00 | < Ced23Ric> | So. There. |
| 09:00 | < locas> | we're all internet famous here now |
| 09:00 | < Ced23Ric> | That is actually one way some of my stories start. |
| 09:01 | < Ced23Ric> | "There I was, derping around, being famous." |
| 09:01 | < Ced23Ric> | Like that one time, someone HAD to take a screenshot with their and my toon in Firefall. |
| 09:01 | < Ced23Ric> | Chased me across the entire zone for that. |
| 09:01 | < Ced23Ric> | "YOU ARE THAT CEDRIC!" |
| 09:01 | < Ced23Ric> | Or that other guy who came into this very channel. |
| 09:02 | < Ced23Ric> | "Aren't you Cedric from Warframe?" - "Yes." - "I AM BUT A HUMBLE SERVANT BELOW YOUR FEET!" |
| 09:02 | < Ced23Ric> | People are strange. |
| 09:03 | < locas> | are you really good at fps games or something |
| 09:04 | < locas> | those are both fps based right |
| 09:04 | < locas> | or like |
| 09:04 | < locas> | actiony |
| 09:04 | < locas> | at least |
| 09:04 | < Ced23Ric> | I am really good at writing guides, dissecting systems, explaining things and launching discussions. |
| 09:04 | < Ced23Ric> | In Warframe, I became a Community Moderator - one of 5. With over 500,000 users. |
| 09:05 | < Ced23Ric> | And in Firefall, I wrote the Community Resource Compendium. |
| 09:05 | < Ced23Ric> | I guess I am good at rallying people for causes if I put my mind to it. |
| 09:06 | < Ced23Ric> | My group in Firefall launched community events that gathered so much traction, we got dev support. With entire instances dedicated to our events. |
| 09:06 | < Ced23Ric> | And, well, Warframe I played with 4 chan - winning every event. No other clan came close. |
| 09:06 | < Ced23Ric> | Basically, it was a race to second place for them, as first was ours anyway. |
| 09:07 | < Ced23Ric> | But, nah. I am not really good. |
| 09:07 | < Ced23Ric> | I am decent. |
| 09:07 | < Ced23Ric> | But nothing outstanding skillwise. |
| 09:07 | < locas> | warframe seems pretty cool |
| 09:07 | < locas> | I'd play it if I had a comp for it |
| 09:07 | < locas> | well I'd try it at least |
| 09:08 | < Ced23Ric> | Warframe is pretty horrible. |
| 09:08 | < locas> | great, now I don't have to try it |
| 09:08 | < locas> | :P |
| 09:08 | < FlakManiak> | The only "You're Flak Maniak!" I got was at PAX East from Mantisking. |
| 09:08 | < Ced23Ric> | Had great potential, was then dragged down into a mediocre grindfest. |

| 16:38 | < Mantisking> | Hey. |
| 16:38 | < locas> | this time you will really see my response |
| 16:38 | < locas> | because I am quick |
| 16:38 | < locas> | ON THE DRAW |
| 16:38 | < locas> | hellO |
| 16:38 | < Mantisking> | Nice. |
| 16:38 | < locas> | aw yes it worked. |
| 16:39 | < Mantisking> | How are you doing? |
| 16:39 | < locas> | pretty good |
| 16:39 | < locas> | soren has convinced me just by existing to try starsector |
| 16:39 | < locas> | which may in turn inspire me to build again |
| 16:39 | < locas> | how are you |
| 16:40 | < Mantisking> | Not too bad. |
| 16:40 | < locas> | woo |
| 16:40 | < Mantisking> | Just trying to get through the workday and get home and build again. |
| 16:41 | < Mantisking> | And work on some blog posts. |
| 16:42 | < locas> | I haven't built in sooo long |
| 16:42 | < locas> | what are you working on lately |
| 16:42 | < locas> | ships? |
| 16:44 | < Mantisking> | That's mostly what it's been since PAX East. |
| 16:45 | < locas> | did you play an IO demo there or somethin? |
| 16:45 | < Mantisking> | I've got a couple ideas I want to try for mechs though. |
| 16:45 | < Mantisking> | I ran a bunch of demos. :-) |
| 16:45 | < locas> | I'd pretty much started building ships after my demo company of frames was settled but I don't think any of my ships are io size standard |
| 16:46 | < locas> | what's the stud limit? 14? |
| 16:46 | < Mantisking> | 12 studs for Frigates, 16 studs for Cruisers. |
| 16:46 | < locas> | I just checked and the one ship I thought might be legit is like 25 |
| 16:46 | < Mantisking> | Whoops. |
| 16:47 | < locas> | eh I made it way before the io pdf came out |
| 16:49 | < locas> | oh my it's so unstable |
| 16:49 | < locas> | the connection I used for the stand did not stand the test of time |
| 16:51 | < locas> | I think I might take apart all my ships and some of my frames |
| 16:51 | < locas> | to make an io demo kit |
| 16:52 | < locas> | or even just one fleet |
| 17:03 | < Mantisking> | How many frames do you have assembled? |
| 17:11 | < locas> | hm |
| 17:11 | < locas> | lots |
| 17:11 | < locas> | four companies |
| 17:11 | < locas> | with anywhere from 5 to 7 frames in each |
| 17:11 | < locas> | not a huge amount of crossover with the peices I want for ships but some |
| 17:12 | < locas> | 2x2 dishes are at a premium, travis obviously |
| 17:12 | < locas> | taking apart my ships would help |

| 20:22 | < Ced23Ric> | And Dudettes. |
| 20:28 | | * mraichelson salutes |
| 20:28 | < Soren> | Thatās āLord Satanā to you, mister. |
| 20:29 | < Ced23Ric> | So, the Chima crocodile set is pretty rad. |
| 20:29 | < Ced23Ric> | If you like olive. |
| 20:29 | < mraichelson> | but only if weāre kneeling at a large black and red altar made of bricks? |
| 20:29 | < Soren> | Yeah, itās situational. |
| 20:29 | < Soren> | Olive is promising, so, a qualified yes |
| 20:30 | < Ced23Ric> | It's a good olive. |
| 20:30 | < Ced23Ric> | And the set comes with good parts, too. |
| 20:30 | < Soren> | In a few years there should be enough parts variety to do something really interesting with it. |
| 20:30 | < Ced23Ric> | 10 olive cheese wedges. |
| 20:30 | < Soren> | pff. |
| 20:30 | < Ced23Ric> | a handful 1x2 plates. |
| 20:30 | < Soren> | I have a bag of those. |
| 20:30 | < Soren> | I wish I had a bag of the plates. |
| 20:30 | < Ced23Ric> | Some 1x4 curved slopes. |
| 20:31 | < Ced23Ric> | And 3 1x1 round tiles with croc eyes. |
| 20:31 | < Ced23Ric> | Oh, and a single 1x2 curved slope. |
| 20:32 | < Soren> | Not bad, no. |
| 20:33 | < Ced23Ric> | For a $10 pack, that's a good haul of olive. |
| 20:33 | < Ced23Ric> | Might be able to stretch it for 2 frames. |
| 20:36 | < Ced23Ric> | You get some partially trans strickers with scale pattern. |
| 20:36 | < Ced23Ric> | 4x 1x3, 2x 1x2, 1x 1x4 long. |
| 20:37 | < Ced23Ric> | That's not bad, either, if you are into that sort of thing. |
| 20:37 | < Ced23Ric> | Oh, and 5 mixel joints. |
| 20:37 | < Ced23Ric> | 5 male, 5 female bits. |
| 20:37 | < Ced23Ric> | So, there's that. |
| 20:39 | < Ced23Ric> | Only raises one question. |
| 20:39 | < Ced23Ric> | What do I do with a single 1x1 round tile? |
| 20:40 | < mraichelson> | make it the front-facing ālensā on a frameās face? |
| 20:41 | < Ced23Ric> | Maybe. |
| 20:41 | < mraichelson> | yates does that a fair amount. |
| 20:42 | < Soren> | As do I. |
| 20:43 | < mraichelson> | well if you want to go obvious :P |
| 20:43 | < Soren> | Letās see. |
| 20:43 | < Soren> | You can use it as a camera lens, or the lens of a laser weapon. |
| 20:43 | < Soren> | IT makes a good millimeter-wave radar sight. |
| 20:43 | < mraichelson> | they make a nice āflat end of cannister rocketā kind of things |
| 20:46 | < Ced23Ric> | No, you might misunderstand. |

| 20:46 | < Ced23Ric> | See the eye? |
| 20:46 | < Ced23Ric> | I have one spare of those. |
| 20:46 | < Ced23Ric> | Plus the 2 it came with. |
| 20:46 | < Soren> | Ah. |
| 20:46 | < Soren> | Welle. |
| 20:46 | < Soren> | -e |
| 20:46 | < mraichelson> | that is a weird thing to throw in an extra of |
| 20:46 | < Soren> | god dammit cat, my toes are not food. |
| 20:46 | < Soren> | brb. |
| 20:46 | | mraichelson is now known as mraichelson_afk |
| 20:47 | < Soren> | b. |
| 20:47 | < Soren> | Insane little bitch. |
| 20:47 | < Soren> | Itās insurance against losing small parts. Standard practice. |
| 20:47 | < Soren> | Hmmmmmmmm. |
| 20:48 | < Soren> | If it were me, Iād make a demo team of cyloptic kaiju. |
| 20:48 | < Soren> | YOu may not agree. |
| 20:48 | < Ced23Ric> | (Welle, die - noun, German, female. Meaning: "wave". Instant memory: "Die Welle", a movie about a teacher that transforms his class into obedient soldiers which identify as an elite. Their gesture of recognition is the wave. In the end he reveals to them that they are all Nazis by showing them a massive Hitler protrait.) |
| 20:48 | < Soren> | Yep. It was a typo due to me feet being assaulted. |
| 20:48 | < Ced23Ric> | Still triggered that memory. |
| 20:48 | < Soren> | I canāt even tell what she wants. |
| 20:49 | < Ced23Ric> | Is it attention? |
| 20:49 | < Ced23Ric> | It might just be attention. |
| 20:49 | < Soren> | Probably. |
| 20:49 | < Soren> | Sheās a needy little beast. |
| 20:49 | < Ced23Ric> | It's okay, you love 'er. |
| 20:49 | < Soren> | Well, brain parasites. |
| 20:51 | < Ced23Ric> | So I now have some olive bits and a Chima shield. |
| 20:51 | < Ced23Ric> | Which leads me to believe that I need to build some Ijad stuff. |
| 20:52 | < Ced23Ric> | And some UMFL stuff, but that's bad because I have so many already. |
| 20:52 | < Ced23Ric> | I also think that I need to tear down my second Chub company (tan/lime) and make something new. |
| 20:52 | < Ced23Ric> | Something for the FC. |
| 20:52 | < Ced23Ric> | But I have such a builder boner for the Chub's articulation. |
| 20:53 | < Ced23Ric> | I always come back to that thing. |
| 20:53 | < Ced23Ric> | It's like an addiction. |
| 20:54 | < Ced23Ric> | I could make a review about these sets I bought. |
| 20:54 | < Ced23Ric> | The croc and the micro millenium falcon. |
| 20:54 | < Ced23Ric> | But I feel tired just thinking about it. |
| 20:55 | < Ced23Ric> | And I don't have a blog. |
| 20:56 | < Soren> | Alas. |
| 20:57 | < Ced23Ric> | Indeed. |
| 20:57 | < Ced23Ric> | Eh. |
| 20:58 | < Ced23Ric> | I'll go for a catnap. |
| 20:58 | < Ced23Ric> | And then I'll see what to do about my FC company in tan. |
| 20:58 | < Ced23Ric> | Maybe see what Malcom is up to. |
| 21:02 | | mraichelson_afk is now known as mraichelson |
| 21:09 | < Ced23Ric> | I swear to go, whenever I see a Malcolm build I don't like, I am happy. |
| 21:10 | < Ced23Ric> | Because that tells me that even Malcolm isn't perfect. |

| 22:41 | < Soren> | Hmm. |
| 22:41 | < Soren> | Youāre very attached to that turret design, arenāt you. |
| 22:42 | < Ced23Ric> | It's so compact and practical. |
| 22:42 | < Ced23Ric> | It fits everywhere, sizewise. |
| 22:46 | < FlakManiak> | Looks like the middle top gun would shoot the hull. |
