| 00:04 | < Ced23Ric> | BattleTech..! |
| 00:07 | <@McMartin> | Most of my design inspiration so far has been from Descent, I think. |
| 00:07 | | * McMartin should try to build something akin to the accursed Medium Lifter. |
| 00:14 | < Noah> | Well, got camera and legos, but I need to finish my school work first, then I can make fighty robots |
| 00:16 | <@McMartin> | yay fighty robots |
| 00:42 | < Noah> | Uhg, so many contractions |
| 00:42 | < Noah> | I need to create some replacements that remove contractions as I type them |

| 01:44 | < calculus> | Greetings |
| 01:44 | | * calculus is actualy here |
| 01:58 | <@McMartin> | Hey |
| 01:59 | <@McMartin> | Also, hooray |
| 01:59 | <@McMartin> | I think I've pushed this design as far as it goes |
| 01:59 | <@McMartin> | https://hkn.eecs.berkeley.edu/~mcmartin/mfz_proto/smrp-03_twinbee.jpg |
| 01:59 | | * McMartin should probably write up a development post for this for the Hangar. |
| 02:00 | <@McMartin> | Since this was really the first feat of from-scratch LEGO design I've done |
| 02:05 | < calculus> | cool |
| 02:05 | < calculus> | Looks fast |
| 02:05 | <@McMartin> | My co-workers have successfully worked out that my designs also appear to be working through childhood traumas involving the Class 1 Driller from Descent |
| 02:08 | < calculus> | Lol |
| 02:08 | < calculus> | Loved descent |
| 02:10 | <@McMartin> | I wonder if I can get a melee frame out of the damned Medium Lifter |
| 02:10 | <@McMartin> | (The green thing with the HUGE CLAWS and the ear-splitting screech) |
| 02:11 | < calculus> | Haha |

| 04:37 | <~Noah> | Wow, this store brand cola is... pretty good actually |
| 04:38 | <~Noah> | Or maybe I'm just really really burnt out on Pepsi, I can't tell |
| 04:54 | <~Noah> | Okay, time for the other store brand cola...this one has a name, Dr. Wow. |
| 04:55 | <~Noah> | More like Dr. Meh. |
| 05:02 | <~Noah> | Oh neat, if my camera is plugged into my computer, I can check it's charge right from the taskbar |

| 22:33 | < ferrelferret> | Any one here? |
| 22:44 | < calculus> | I'm here now, ferrelferret |
| 22:44 | < ferrelferret> | Hey! |
| 22:45 | < calculus> | How goes life? |
| 22:45 | < ferrelferret> | Good. just posted how Ced23ric got me out of that pickle in the RP topic |
| 22:46 | < Ceddo> | Yay! |
| 22:46 | < ferrelferret> | also trying to figure out was mitten is doing. |
| 22:46 | < Ceddo> | *goes to read* |
| 22:46 | < calculus> | Lol |
| 22:46 | < Ceddo> | I know exactly what he is up to. |
| 22:46 | < Ceddo> | And it's going to be glorious. |
| 22:46 | < Ceddo> | If he would start getting better rolls. :D |
| 22:46 | < ferrelferret> | getting flanked... :| |
| 22:47 | < calculus> | Ceddo: So what is this secret? |
| 22:47 | < calculus> | I tried to bait him to right where he is |
| 22:47 | < calculus> | Then when he did it, I realized it was going to be painful to me |
| 22:48 | < Ceddo> | Bwahaha. |
| 22:48 | < Ceddo> | Yupp. |
| 22:48 | < calculus> | Le Sigh |
| 22:48 | < ferrelferret> | It worked great. to bad we will eventually have to kill each other |
| 22:48 | < Ceddo> | "I CAN HAS HIM COME HERE BAHAHA - Oh wait, I only have one melee and he has a LOT of DF. Balls." |
| 22:48 | < calculus> | :P |
| 22:49 | < calculus> | Ceddo: DO you think his top two units are going to go south or north? |
| 22:49 | < calculus> | *no caps on "do" |
| 22:52 | < ferrelferret> | He can bring it! XD |
| 22:53 | < ferrelferret> | I got d6B all in this hizzy! |
| 22:53 | < calculus> | Heh |
| 22:54 | < ferrelferret> | Thinking of a new Daisuke build too |
| 22:54 | < calculus> | Oh? |
| 22:55 | < ferrelferret> | Yeah, for the RP |
| 22:55 | < ferrelferret> | that and still been working on another model line form Alto |
| 22:55 | < ferrelferret> | Systems |
| 22:56 | < ferrelferret> | *from |
| 22:56 | < ferrelferret> | fat fingers all day. :| |
| 22:57 | < calculus> | I've got too many toddlings running around the house to get me legos out |
| 22:57 | < calculus> | so I've just been learning the ruls |
| 22:57 | < calculus> | Fun to see all the cool builds thought |
| 22:57 | < calculus> | we would have had so much fun as kids |
| 22:57 | < Ceddo> | calculus: He would be stupid to run into ferret. |
| 22:58 | < calculus> | Ceddo: Agreed |
| 22:58 | < Ceddo> | He is high up on intiative, you are his biggest threat. |
| 22:58 | < Ceddo> | He is going to crash into you full force, desert all his stations, eat you up (potentially), and take yours. |
| 22:58 | < Ceddo> | And ferret is going to be too slow to catch him. |
| 22:58 | < calculus> | That does seem to be his current plan. |
| 22:59 | < Ceddo> | I would advice you to run with the arty 'Frames and stall him. |
| 22:59 | < Ceddo> | You need to grind him down so ferret can come in and grind both of you - and hopefully, you did eneough damage that ferret finishes the job for you. |
| 23:00 | < Ceddo> | Ferret, on the other hand, would be best advised to send his fastest 'Frame to grab Mittens stations and prowl south with everything else. |
| 23:00 | < Ceddo> | Because your spawn is going to be where the battle is held. |
| 23:00 | < calculus> | Yes, it seems will come down to damage delt |
| 23:00 | < Ceddo> | ferret pretty much needs to spread the love and benefit from your skirmishes. |
| 23:01 | < calculus> | It would seem like mittens would do very well to hang on to an upper station |
| 23:02 | < Ceddo> | Nah. Those are tost. Your's are twice-juicy. |
| 23:02 | < calculus> | and possibly delay the capture of the first one. |
| 23:02 | < Ceddo> | You lose a station and he gains one. |
| 23:02 | < Ceddo> | *tost = toast |
| 23:02 | < calculus> | The south fight is going to be brutal in terms of losses. |
| 23:02 | < Ceddo> | The thing is, if he stays passive, you will shell him into oblivion. While ferret mops him up. |
| 23:02 | < calculus> | But how does he hink he's going take stations down there? |
| 23:02 | < Ceddo> | He needs to break from ferret, and punch into you, because you are softer. |
| 23:03 | < ferrelferret> | I have some speed in my team. :P |
| 23:03 | < Ceddo> | ferrelferret: Do you have 20 move speed? ;) |
| 23:03 | < Ceddo> | It's a FAR haul down there. |
| 23:03 | < calculus> | It's also a far haul for ferret to mittens far stations |
| 23:04 | < calculus> | Ceddo, do you think Mittens wil be running down the clock? |
| 23:04 | < calculus> | Starting now? |
| 23:04 | < Ceddo> | Oh yeah. |
| 23:04 | < Ceddo> | Ironically, the only one who wants the clock slow should be ferret. |
| 23:05 | < ferrelferret> | yup |
| 23:05 | < Ceddo> | Because you could gamble on swinging it around, and then you want to be done ASAP. |
| 23:05 | < calculus> | Ah. |
| 23:05 | < Ceddo> | But if ferret does NOT attack Mittens but YOU, you would be stalled, while Mittens plunges into you. |
| 23:06 | < calculus> | Which would be an easy mittens win |
| 23:06 | < Ceddo> | And whatever survives between you and Mittens, ferret could mop up IF he gets down there AND grabs Mittens stations. |
| 23:06 | < ferrelferret> | mwah ha ah ha |
| 23:06 | < Ceddo> | See, ferret's leveled. His extra Frame pretty much has to grab Mittens stations. |
| 23:06 | < Ceddo> | So it boils down to 6 vs 6 vs 6. |
| 23:07 | < Ceddo> | And there, both Mittens and ferret are strong in DF with melee backup. |
| 23:07 | < Ceddo> | While you are strong in Spot/Arty and some DF. |
| 23:07 | < Ceddo> | Now, if ferret uses your spots, you could maybe get out of it. |
| 23:07 | < Ceddo> | If not, it's going to be interesting. :D |
| 23:07 | < ferrelferret> | I'm just wanting to see play, and get a feel for this and the tactics involved. |
| 23:08 | < ferrelferret> | so I can demo the heck out of this |
| 23:08 | < calculus> | ferrelferret: HAve you watched the initiative dance we've had in the south? |
| 23:08 | < calculus> | About denying initiave? |
| 23:08 | < ferrelferret> | cause as far as I can tell, the Dallas/Fort Worth no one plays here but me. ;) |
| 23:08 | < calculus> | *making the wrong bot go first |
| 23:09 | < calculus> | He shot up my melee bot, before he moved anything |
| 23:09 | < ferrelferret> | I have been paying attention. :) |
| 23:09 | < calculus> | so that I couldn't use it later in the turn to counter strike |
| 23:10 | < ferrelferret> | while I can, when I'm in work |
| 23:10 | < calculus> | Then I shot at his non-spotting bot, to force it to move before another spot got placed. |
| 23:10 | < Ceddo> | It was hilarious. Loved it. |
| 23:11 | < calculus> | BTW: took this photo yesterday |
| 23:11 | < calculus> | http://leancoder-share.s3.amazonaws.com/paste/ainaemae.png |
| 23:12 | < ferrelferret> | Nice, where are you at? |
| 23:13 | < calculus> | GTG. Was in florida to see a rocket launch, but it got delayed till the 19th, and so I had to miss it. |
| 23:13 | < calculus> | *got to go |
| 23:13 | | calculus is now known as _calculus |
