| 03:41 | < Soren> | oh, hey. Didnāt see you come in. |
| 03:41 | < mraichelson> | sssshhhh |
| 03:42 | | * mraichelson is busy punching his web host |
| 03:43 | | * Soren helpfully aims a kick to said hostās groin. |
| 03:44 | < mraichelson> | the right thing comes up on my phone, but from my laptop i canāt reach stuff at all. fun times. |
| 03:49 | < Soren> | Annoying! |
| 03:51 | < Soren> | Iāll be spreading the Mobilefra.me link around a bit, I think. It will come in very handy when people ask about getting their hands on robots. |
| 03:51 | < Soren> | Have you thought about terrain much? |
| 03:51 | < mraichelson> | i have not. |
| 03:51 | < mraichelson> | or stations. |
| 03:52 | < Soren> | I have some notions about terrain that might be handy. |
| 03:52 | < mraichelson> | at a high level those seemed like stuff thatās a little more in-reach (since it doesnāt necesarilly need taps ant tile clips and hoojibbers and wotsits). |
| 03:52 | < Soren> | I mean, itās probably not a huge thing, but it would be an option to have, especially if you get up to the point where youāre offering a whole 3-player gameās worth of stuff in one bundle. |
| 03:53 | < Soren> | Also 1x2 slope bricks are cheeeeeeeeeap. |
| 03:53 | < Soren> | And make very nice rock formations. |
| 03:53 | < mraichelson> | lol, i have a bunch of stuff thatās pretty much just those and the 1x2 log cabin bricks. |
| 03:53 | < Soren> | Yeah. |
| 03:54 | < Soren> | Depending on selection you could stealthily fill those orders from a PaB wall, most likely. |
| 03:54 | < mraichelson> | and that wonky white piece with the trans light blue tips to it came in the mail today. |
| 03:54 | < mraichelson> | THANKS A LOT FOR MAKING ME DO THAT |
| 03:54 | < Soren> | but dark grey + a scattering of olive cheese slopes would make nice mossy rocks. |
| 03:54 | < Soren> | hee, youāre welcome. |
| 03:54 | < Soren> | I got one two. We can suffer together. |
| 03:55 | < Soren> | too* |
| 03:55 | < mraichelson> | actually they sent it to me with $.15 in the bag for it āthis was more worn than we realized, we gave this one to you for freeā |
| 03:55 | < Soren> | heh |
| 03:56 | < mraichelson> | i have a mess of olive cheese slopes. i did some rock walls with 1x1 lime round plates for moss too that werenāt bad. |
| 03:56 | < mraichelson> | nearest PaB wall is 1.5-2 hrs though here. |
| 03:56 | < Soren> | alas. |
| 03:56 | < Soren> | Well, it gives you a range of whatās worth driving for, then. |
| 03:57 | < mraichelson> | lol, yeah. have to see if any of the tracking sites are updated for what they have there. |
| 03:57 | < mraichelson> | think the last time one of them updated for it was like last sept. |
| 03:57 | < Soren> | Mmm. |
| 03:57 | < Soren> | I know the one here, the tracking site never updates. |
| 03:59 | < mraichelson> | crowdsourced information: only as good as the crowd youāre sourcing it from. |
| 04:00 | < Soren> | Yup. |

| 09:12 | < Soren> | I HAVE DONE IT. |
| 09:44 | < Ced23Ric> | All of it? |
| 09:45 | < Ced23Ric> | In other news, I managed to integrate the Neutrinos into Uozmoz Sector and get it to run. |
| 09:45 | < Soren> | yay |
| 09:45 | < Ced23Ric> | My only problem is that they won't spawn. |
| 09:45 | < Ced23Ric> | The game calls upon their libraries and tries to add them to stations, etc, so that all works. |
| 09:45 | < Ced23Ric> | Just ... can't create their planet yet. |
| 09:45 | < Ced23Ric> | Although it's in. |
| 09:45 | < Ced23Ric> | Need more digging. |

| 20:00 | < Ced23Ric> | Gentlefolks. |
| 20:04 | | * mraichelson tips his cap |
| 20:04 | < Ced23Ric> | So ... seems like I stirred some minds with my recent question. |
| 20:05 | < mraichelson> | eh, different strokes different folks. |
| 20:06 | < Ced23Ric> | I guess I am also too much of an idealist. |
| 20:06 | < Ced23Ric> | Everything is free and we all do it for the love of a common hobby and that. |
| 20:06 | < mraichelson> | lol, yes. |
| 20:07 | < Ced23Ric> | Imagine my surprise when I learnt that is not the case1 |
| 20:07 | < Ced23Ric> | *! |
| 20:07 | < mraichelson> | if at the end of the day thereās more people to shoot imaginary lego guns at and nobodyās crying, i kind of consider it a success. |
| 20:08 | < Soren> | In my experience, there is no vicious nonconsensual buttfucking like the ones people can lay on one another by assuming that the love of a common hobby is sufficient motivation. |
| 20:08 | < mraichelson> | for my part at least, i know when i started i had no parts, the kits from the kickstarter were $110 or so i think. my friend ordered one and it took like a month to get. |
| 20:08 | < Ced23Ric> | Yeah. |
| 20:08 | < Ced23Ric> | No, Soren, I ... know all that. |
| 20:09 | < Ced23Ric> | I am just sometimes diosconnected from reality. |
| 20:09 | < Soren> | Professionalism is a moral virtue as well as mechanically useful. |
| 20:09 | < Soren> | Yeah, itās just worth stating. |
| 20:09 | < Ced23Ric> | I had this crazy idea that i give out frames at my demo events. |
| 20:10 | < Soren> | I mean, if I were doing this out of love for the game, i wouldnāt be doing it at all. I love it, but i donāt love it enough to put all this owrk into it on this timescale for free. |
| 20:10 | < Soren> | work* |
| 20:10 | < Ced23Ric> | But then I realized that I'd essentially paying for something that I will never recoup. |
| 20:10 | < Ced23Ric> | And, furthermore, there is no way I can make it fair. |
| 20:10 | < Ced23Ric> | And if I show up with only one frame per event to win, it's "cheap". |
| 20:10 | < Soren> | Being paid for it means I do a good job, stuffās delivered on time, and thereās a common aesthetic vision. |
| 20:11 | < Ced23Ric> | And if it is an amount that makes sense, then I'd be shelling out more cash than I am willing - in excess of the cash I already invested in the demo teams. |
| 20:11 | < Soren> | Itās like plumbing. Plumbers are well-paid because what they do is awful and laborious but essential. |
| 20:11 | < Soren> | Every creative project has āplumbingā tasks. |
| 20:11 | < Soren> | And people will, whether they realize it or not, insist on being paid to perform them. |
| 20:11 | < Soren> | Maybe not in money, but theyāll get paid for it. |
| 20:12 | < Ced23Ric> | Delicious BJs. |
| 20:12 | < Soren> | and in fandom and gaming cultures, the way people most often get paid for something is having power over people and control of shared social spaces. |
| 20:12 | < Soren> | ā¦which means crazy abusive assholes having free reign. |
| 20:13 | < Soren> | So while it seems awful and cynical, getting paid in money is actually one of the more respectful ways to handle those transactions. |
| 20:14 | < Ced23Ric> | No, I don't have a problem with the payment itself. |
| 20:14 | < Ced23Ric> | Cash is good. |
| 20:14 | < Ced23Ric> | I guess I just don't like the pricetag of, say, US$125.00 (shipped) for 4 frames. |
| 20:14 | < Soren> | Well, in that case, Bricklinkās right there. |
| 20:15 | < Ced23Ric> | I guess. |
| 20:15 | < Ced23Ric> | It's MY solution anyway. |
| 20:15 | < Ced23Ric> | I don't find Bricklink hard to use. |
| 20:15 | < Ced23Ric> | Just clunky. |
| 20:15 | < mraichelson> | yeah, once you get used to it, itās fine. |
| 20:16 | < mraichelson> | but if you think itās āa storeā not āa giant marketplace full of tiny stallsā it makes no sense. |
| 20:16 | < Ced23Ric> | Soren, here's a question for you: "Are there any core designs outside of the C6 (not very appealing) that would work for a guy without any travis bricks and only 4 taps? ...two of which are light pink?" |
| 20:16 | < Ced23Ric> | Haha, yeah. |
| 20:16 | < Soren> | I mean, I give away the rights to use my designs to people because the indirect benefits of having someone else supplying frames that other people can just buy are worth exactly as much to me as the rights would be worth as a dollar value to someone licensing them to me. |
| 20:16 | < Soren> | The beer thing is just a token so there are no hard feelings, and because I like beer. |
| 20:16 | < Ced23Ric> | It's like: "Okay, cucumbers ... what the dick? The ... sign says they have cucumbers, forty kind. And they are all over this building." |
| 20:17 | < mraichelson> | i need 12 cucumbers, there are 8 vendors and none of them has more than 2. |
| 20:17 | < Ced23Ric> | AND they are all over the place. |
| 20:17 | < Ced23Ric> | Three cucumbers are "used", yuck. |
| 20:19 | < Soren> | Honestly, if I billed for Special Edition and Custom companies and fleets the way I bill design clients for work, nobody in their right mind would be able to afford one. Itās a lot of work, itās not all Bricklink, and its as much about making sure everybody values each othersā time as anything else. |
| 20:19 | < Ced23Ric> | Ha, yes. |
| 20:20 | < Ced23Ric> | Care to spitball a number? |
| 20:20 | < Ced23Ric> | A ballpark? |
| 20:20 | < Soren> | Iām afraid to. |
| 20:20 | < Soren> | MY hourly rate is $25-30 depending on the job. |
| 20:20 | < Ced23Ric> | Let's say I wanted that Ijad company with the drone, scramblers, and the converted Chub. |
| 20:20 | < Ced23Ric> | And you don't have that about, I actually came up with the theme and asked you to execute it. |
| 20:21 | < Soren> | Depends on how long it takes to put together, revisions, etc.c |
| 20:22 | < Soren> | Also, keep in mind, the Kickstarter price point isnāt just the frames, itās the book, decals, the frames, plus that annoying fact that money spent on a high-tier reward has to be proportionately more profitable to the project than lower reward tiers. |
| 20:23 | < Soren> | So it could range from āslightly underā to āconsiderably overā. |
| 20:25 | < Ced23Ric> | Yeah, all that, understood. |
| 20:25 | < Ced23Ric> | I am sure you can spitball that. |
| 20:26 | < Ced23Ric> | Lets say you come back with a purely white/black iteration, and I send it back with "add some blue, and I like two arty scramblers." |
| 20:26 | < Soren> | Itās a moot point; I wouldnāt do them as stand-alones because it only makes sense to do them as a bloc, and as part of a crowdfunding projectās promotion. |
| 20:27 | < Ced23Ric> | Wait, did we lose each other here? |
| 20:27 | < Soren> | Iām saying itās silly to ask me to estimate for something I wouldnāt do. |
| 20:27 | < Ced23Ric> | I am trying to supply some corner data for you to spitball the price point under "client" conditions for a company such as your w/b/k Ijad with a Chub and drone. |
| 20:28 | < Ced23Ric> | Because you said: "Honestly, if I billed for Special Edition and Custom companies and fleets the way I bill design clients for work, nobody in their right mind would be able to afford one." |
| 20:28 | < Ced23Ric> | So, the point of reality is out the door already |
| 20:28 | < Ced23Ric> | We are in Hypothetica, land of wonders. |
| 20:28 | | Mantisking [NSwebIRC@Nightstar-3lq4g4.fios.verizon.net] has joined #mf0 |
| 20:28 | < Soren> | The biggest variable is Bricklink. |
| 20:28 | < Ced23Ric> | Now you say: "That'd be 500 dollars.", I say "Wow.", you say "Yeah, and so, I don't." |
| 20:29 | < Mantisking> | {* falling through like a star *} |
| 20:29 | < Ced23Ric> | Then we all have a laugh and you chuckle to yourself. |
| 20:29 | < Soren> | Well. We can call that a lower bound, sure. |
| 20:29 | < Ced23Ric> | You are being deliberately obtuse here. |
| 20:29 | < Mantisking> | Taliking about pricing of kits? |
| 20:29 | < Ced23Ric> | Kind of. |
| 20:29 | < Ced23Ric> | We are taling about the hypothetical price of something Soren wouldn't sell. |
| 20:30 | < Mantisking> | Ah. |
| 20:30 | < Ced23Ric> | And he is not playing along. |
| 20:30 | < Soren> | But youāre already getting proportionately less than you would from the KS. Youāre not putting any money into a project; you presumably already have a book and/or decals. |
| 20:30 | < Ced23Ric> | I need some decals, man. |
| 20:30 | < Ced23Ric> | Did the first KS have decals? |
| 20:30 | < Soren> | Yes? |
| 20:30 | < Ced23Ric> | Well, fuck. |
| 20:30 | < Ced23Ric> | I couldn't get into that one. ;_; |
| 20:30 | < Soren> | Joshua should still have sheets coming out his ass. |
| 20:30 | < Soren> | You should try to grab some from him. |
| 20:30 | < Ced23Ric> | How do I into those? |
| 20:31 | < Ced23Ric> | Just mail him? |
| 20:31 | < Soren> | Heās got an email address. |
| 20:31 | < Ced23Ric> | Or, forum PM? Smoke signs? |
| 20:31 | < Ced23Ric> | Izzat the glyphpress one? |
| 20:31 | < Soren> | I have no idea, Iām just suggesting the things I would do. |
| 20:31 | < Soren> | Yep. |
| 20:31 | < mraichelson> | letter written in blood wrapped around a brick through the window. |
| 20:31 | < Ced23Ric> | IF I can throw a brick through his window, there are TWO questions. |
| 20:31 | < Ced23Ric> | And YOU will answer them, Mike. |
| 20:32 | | Mantisking_ [NSwebIRC@Nightstar-3lq4g4.fios.verizon.net] has joined #mf0 |
| 20:32 | < Ced23Ric> | 1.) If I am within throwing range, why wouldn't I just do it in person? |
| 20:32 | < Ced23Ric> | 2.) What brick are we talking about? 1x2 /w pinhole? |
| 20:32 | < Mantisking_> | There was an option on the latest kickstarter to get the old stickers. |
| 20:32 | < Ced23Ric> | MotherFUCKER. |
| 20:32 | < Ced23Ric> | How did I miss that? |
| 20:32 | < mraichelson> | hmm, how much force would it take to shoot a 1x2 brick through a sheet fo glass? |
| 20:32 | < Ced23Ric> | Mike: Airrifle! |
| 20:33 | < Mantisking_> | You may be able to add them to your order when the final order comes in. |
| 20:33 | < Ced23Ric> | I would love to get like 10 or 15 sheets. |
| 20:33 | < Ced23Ric> | Because THAT would be sweet swag to pass out on demo events. |
| 20:33 | < Ced23Ric> | You know what, I'll email Josh right meow. |

| 20:39 | < Ced23Ric> | Ha! |
| 20:39 | < Ced23Ric> | Why am I necessary for that? |

| 20:41 | < Mantisking_> | Fumble fingers strike again. |
| 20:43 | < Ced23Ric> | Fair enough. |
| 20:43 | < Ced23Ric> | So, how do we wanna do this? |
| 20:43 | < Ced23Ric> | Spreadshirt? |
| 20:43 | < Ced23Ric> | Viralshirts? |
| 20:43 | < Ced23Ric> | I can probably ask Kitty what her recommendation is. |
| 20:45 | < Mantisking_> | http://www.mobileframehangar.com/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=1148 |
| 20:49 | < Ced23Ric> | Yeah, I can get back into that with little effort. |
| 20:49 | < Ced23Ric> | Just gotta figure out how we do this. |
| 20:49 | < Ced23Ric> | We need to communicate with Josh, too. |
| 20:49 | < Ced23Ric> | And maybe ask Soren if he wants a slice of it. |
| 20:50 | < Ced23Ric> | But Soren likes nerd culture only from afar. |
| 20:51 | < Soren> | Well. |
| 20:51 | < Soren> | Maybe itās ebtter to say, I like the same things that nerd culture likes, in completely different ways. |
| 20:53 | < Ced23Ric> | You like to look at things. |
| 20:53 | < Soren> | It puts me at odds with people I should theoretically be best buddies with over disputes about organizational style. |

| 20:55 | < Ced23Ric> | PEOPLE MIGHT INSTANTLY BECOME NAZIS. |
| 20:57 | | * mraichelson gasps in shock and horror at the mere mention that bad things once happened. |
| 20:59 | < Ced23Ric> | MY issue is, I would never play that game in German to begin with. |
| 21:00 | < Ced23Ric> | I mean, fuck that noise - English German is way funnier. |
| 21:00 | < Ced23Ric> | Also, I really hate that my government thinks that putting a lid on a game where the Nazis are the bad guys has any valid reasoning. |
| 21:00 | < Ced23Ric> | The rest of the fucking world doesn't give a shit. You are shooting Nazis. |
| 21:08 | < Ced23Ric> | Whatever. Bought a Multilanguage CD Key. |

| 21:40 | < Buckit> | mraichelson: Did you decide to expand color options for the chub kits? |
| 21:40 | < Ced23Ric> | Heya Buckit! |
| 21:41 | < mraichelson> | iāve been sticking with the primary colors for the most part (mostly for parts availability) |
| 21:42 | < Buckit> | Mkay, I was just looking at it earlier, and saw the expanded color choices |
| 21:42 | < Buckit> | was worried the website was getting carried away without you |
| 21:42 | < Buckit> | Hi ced |
| 21:42 | < Buckit> | That redo of your Ijad unit looks awesome |
| 21:44 | < Ced23Ric> | Have you seen them before? |
| 21:44 | < Ced23Ric> | Like, where they came from? |
| 21:44 | < Buckit> | No |
| 21:44 | < Ced23Ric> | https://www.flickr.com/photos/79277138@N08/7185697825/ |
| 21:45 | < Ced23Ric> | They were way too big. :D |
| 21:45 | < Ced23Ric> | https://www.flickr.com/photos/79277138@N08/7185704551/ |
| 21:45 | < Buckit> | Lol |
| 21:45 | < Buckit> | Well, the scaled down versions are slick |
| 21:45 | < Ced23Ric> | Yeah, I like them, too. |
| 21:45 | < Buckit> | and that artillery piece |
| 21:46 | < Ced23Ric> | The rocket podders or the evil eye cannons? |
| 21:46 | < Buckit> | Rocket pods |
| 21:46 | < Ced23Ric> | Yeah, I like them. |
| 21:46 | < Ced23Ric> | They look like really annoying bugs. |
| 21:46 | < Ced23Ric> | Skittering in the distance, and then unleashing a barrage. |
| 21:48 | < Ced23Ric> | Wanna see the opposing Ijads? |
| 21:48 | < Ced23Ric> | I still have an LDD screenshot. |
| 21:48 | < Ced23Ric> | The pink ones were all G, no B. |
| 21:48 | < Ced23Ric> | Well, except for the Soldier config. |
| 21:49 | < Ced23Ric> | And then I made one all B. |
| 21:49 | < Ced23Ric> | The fluff for the pink ones is extremists. |
| 21:49 | < Ced23Ric> | And blue ones were to be the wardens. |
| 21:50 | < Buckit> | Interesting |
| 21:50 | < Buckit> | I like the chub design, but Ijad are what really draw me |
| 21:51 | < Ced23Ric> | Yeah they are pretty cool. |
| 21:51 | < Ced23Ric> | The sleek lines is what makes them, I feel. |
| 21:52 | < Buckit> | I think I'll prolly pick up a set of chubs from mraich for friends to play with, but I just can't stop thinking about those scramblers |
| 21:52 | < Ced23Ric> | Sounds a little unhealthy..! |
| 21:52 | < mraichelson> | just laying in bed at night, thinking about ijad. |
| 21:53 | < Buckit> | Reminds me of my friend |
| 21:53 | < Ced23Ric> | Wondering what it would be like to merge. |
| 21:53 | < Ced23Ric> | The sensation of their gentle antennas on your skin. |
| 21:53 | < Buckit> | Wants to make love to a howitzer before he dies |
| 21:53 | < Ced23Ric> | I think I accidentially wrote fapfiction, then. |
| 21:53 | < mraichelson> | well, i have to admit, i didnāt see that coming. |
| 21:53 | < Ced23Ric> | No one looks into the old ass fanfic threads from 2012 anymore. |
| 21:54 | < Ced23Ric> | Mike: Is it bad that I just nodded and went on with my thoughts? |
| 21:54 | < Ced23Ric> | Maybe I spend too much time on 4chan. |

| 21:54 | < mraichelson> | i know EXACTLY where this convo is headed. |
| 21:57 | < Ced23Ric> | Tentacle rape? |
| 22:05 | < Buckit> | Now to find those mollusk frames... |
| 22:06 | < Buckit> | http://www.flickr.com/photos/wintermute2600/7225163982/ |
| 22:06 | < Buckit> | yes.... |
| 22:06 | < Buckit> | all the tentacles.... |
| 22:06 | < mraichelson> | those are good ones. thereās the flying all-black tentacle ones too, somewhere. |
| 22:07 | < Ced23Ric> | The Hive or what it was called? |
| 22:08 | < mraichelson> | i forget, digging through faves on flickr to try to find them again. |
| 22:08 | < mraichelson> | doctor moebius had these, but theyāre not the ones iām thinking of https://www.flickr.com/photos/doctormobius/9941893403/in/faves-nifkin/ |
| 22:08 | < mraichelson> | (and red robotās white tentacled guys: https://www.flickr.com/photos/101112082@N04/9887324263/in/faves-nifkin/) |
| 22:09 | < mraichelson> | hereās one of what i was thinking of: https://www.flickr.com/photos/14409064@N07/8554367142/in/faves-nifkin/ |
| 22:10 | < mraichelson> | more in here https://www.flickr.com/photos/14409064@N07/sets/72157632963029801 |
| 22:12 | < mraichelson> | and yes, you were right, the hive. |
| 22:12 | < Buckit> | I need more legos v.v |
| 22:16 | < Ced23Ric> | Ybliss is pretty fucking awesome. |
| 22:16 | < Ced23Ric> | Thank god his FlickR is short. |
| 22:17 | < Ced23Ric> | I just scanned it back to back and lost myself. |
| 22:17 | < Buckit> | xD |
| 22:17 | < Buckit> | So, mraich, what are the chances of following up this chub run with a scrambler run? |
| 22:17 | < Ced23Ric> | I mean, the alternative is making images for the page numbers of the PDF. |
| 22:18 | < Ced23Ric> | 10 done, 14 to go. ;_; |
| 22:18 | < mraichelson> | Buckit: I havenāt tried pricing stuff out yet, but i was thinking about ā4 scramblers, 1 suzerainā and ā3 conscripts, 2 commissarsā kits. |
| 22:19 | < Buckit> | I dont know if Ive seen the suzerain? |
| 22:19 | < mraichelson> | itās in the book, itās a scrambler with different center stuff. |
| 22:20 | < Buckit> | Mkay, Ill look when I get home |
| 22:20 | < mraichelson> | p192 |
| 22:21 | < Buckit> | If you don't mind my asking, how has the chub kit been doing so far? |
| 22:21 | < mraichelson> | uses some technic-y bits iām not super familiar with though. |
| 22:21 | < mraichelson> | i put a cap of 10 on them, 7 have been scooped up. |
| 22:21 | < Buckit> | Oh shit, really, I guess I need to go bug my wife then |
| 22:31 | < mraichelson> | off to ze bike trail later, time to cook things. |
