| 05:07 | < Soren> | hmm. |
| 05:07 | < Soren> | Well, if you guys want to poke back, I'll probably be here tomorrow, too. |
| 05:08 | < Soren> | IRC is both nostalgic and an excllent distraction from assembling custom kits. |
| 05:08 | < Soren> | *excellent |
| 05:08 | <@McMartin> | Heh |
| 05:08 | <@McMartin> | It's also pretty low-volume |
| 05:08 | <@McMartin> | For best results, idle in a minimized window. |
| 05:09 | < Soren> | precisely. |
| 05:10 | < Soren> | Although, I have two monitors and I use Expos?, so I've got the screen real estate to idle hardcore like a badass. |
| 05:11 | < Soren> | So, appalling factoid of the day: reading through the logs, I see Cedric is bragging about buying someone out of the 1x1 brick with five studs. |
| 05:12 | < Soren> | I hate to tell him this, but I bought 160 of those bad boys in one go the other day. |
| 05:12 | < Soren> | I apologize for any head-explodey that results. |
| 05:13 | <@McMartin> | I'm trying to keep my habit under control. |
| 05:14 | < Soren> | Me too, but shipping to the 'states>shipping to malaysia, so I'm refreshing my supply of good bits right now. |
| 05:21 | < Soren> | Although, honestly, I've mostly just been going batshit trying to get all the parts I need for the kits. And I can't blow my stack at anybody else, because I dug all these intricate plastic holes myself. |

| 05:38 | < afny> | score. |
| 05:40 | < Soren> | it's always nice when those go away. |
| 06:56 | < Soren> | Oh, hey - questions in the log that I can answer! |
| 06:57 | < Soren> | Re: forcefields - one of my super-game-abusive ideas that made J go 'hunh, I have to think about that' was a guy who just carries around a huge transparent panel for 2d6B. |
| 06:58 | < Soren> | Like, a stupid-huge one. 12 or 16 studs wide. |
| 06:58 | < Soren> | Enough to cover a bunch of other guys. |
| 06:59 | < Soren> | So, if you want to do forcefields I encourage you to do what I did, and be a complete fucking dick about it :D |
| 07:01 | <@McMartin> | Doesn't having two blue systems mean you get to defend anywhere on the battlefield anyway? |
| 07:02 | < Soren> | iIRC it means you get the benefit of the doubt on whether you're in cover, and you take less damage from being used as cover. |
| 07:02 | < Soren> | Either way, having a big dome you can use to cover guys might be broken, hence the 'hmm'. |
| 07:03 | < Soren> | http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=2409 this is the part I had in mind, four of these puppies. |
| 07:03 | < Soren> | You could easily hide four, maybe five or six guys in that. |
| 07:04 | < Soren> | And because it's omnidirectional, they're always in cover behind the dude with the forcefield. |
| 07:04 | < Soren> | Even if you didn't get anything special from 2B, that would be pretty rad. |
| 07:06 | <@McMartin> | Ha ha |
| 07:06 | < Soren> | Anyway, this is just the most jackasstic version of it that I thought of. YMMV. |
| 07:06 | <@McMartin> | Heh |
| 07:06 | | * McMartin still hasn't been able to build a decent Medium Lifter in 7p out of what he has handy. |
| 07:06 | <@McMartin> | It's also not quite the same without the inhuman shrieks and the rending of metal |
| 07:06 | < Soren> | Alas. I enjoyed Descent, back in the day. |
| 07:07 | <@McMartin> | I've been building not-very-frame-y frames, mostly, and there's a definite sense of Class 1 Driller about them. |
| 07:08 | <@McMartin> | Also, regarding your 160 new bricks |
| 07:08 | <@McMartin> | You can field a whole company of these: https://secure.flickr.com/photos/adamsk/7133083503/in/photostream/ |
| 07:08 | < Soren> | hah. |
| 07:09 | < Soren> | I'm actually planning some microscale spacecraft action. |

| 07:09 | <@McMartin> | I've mostly built a line of these mining walkers. |
| 07:09 | <@McMartin> | "What good is a tank if it can't do martial arts?" |
| 07:10 | < Soren> | An excellent question. |
| 07:15 | < Soren> | Anyway, I'm an admitted fan of jet engines and mandibles on the same unit. |

| 07:19 | < Soren> | https://www.dropbox.com/s/2q8bd3gti3bn14g/Grenade%20Crossbow.JPG BEHOLD. |
| 07:19 | < Soren> | This might be my favorite direct-fire weapon ever. |
| 07:20 | < Soren> | *toing* |
| 07:20 | < Soren> | BOOM |
| 07:24 | < afny> | Haha, just read the forcefield bit |
| 07:25 | < afny> | I feel affirmed. |
| 07:25 | < Soren> | I think if you can find a funny, interesting way to do something, it gets in on principle. |
| 07:26 | < afny> | I actually have some of those quarterdomes |
| 07:26 | < afny> | i'm veeery tempted |
| 07:26 | < Soren> | you should do it. |
| 07:26 | < Soren> | I'm not planning to, so somebody needs to test this shit out. |
| 07:26 | < afny> | I might start out with some of those smaller full dome pieces |
| 07:27 | < afny> | still enough to cover 2-3 frames |
| 07:27 | < Soren> | yeah, I made a quickie spaceship a while back that was essentially a big folding shield. |
| 07:27 | <@McMartin> | I still need to find a non-stupid use for this minifig-scale frying pan. |
| 07:27 | <@McMartin> | I'm thinking as a targeting beacon (2Y). |
| 07:27 | < Soren> | 2B 2Rd 1G |
| 07:27 | < Soren> | ammo drum. |
| 07:28 | < Soren> | You can stick a frying pan and a saucepan in a camera for an awesome hi-cap magazine. |
| 07:28 | <@McMartin> | Sadly, I cannot get away with "melee weapon" |
| 07:28 | < Soren> | try it out. |
| 07:28 | <@McMartin> | *KRONG* |
| 07:32 | <~Noah> | omg it's Soren *geeks out* |
| 07:32 | < Soren> | *waves* Sorry to hear about your mother being a complete fucking maniac. |
| 07:32 | < Soren> | and, you know, hi. |
| 07:32 | < afny> | You've got a maniac? |
| 07:33 | < Soren> | No, I've just got a bad habit of reading the logs |
| 07:35 | <~Noah> | My mother's a maniac, yeah |
| 07:35 | <~Noah> | And also logs ftw |
| 07:35 | < Soren> | https://www.dropbox.com/s/i0bwt52zxtpdqyi/Salamander%20Company.jpg Quick, let me distract you with something else! |
| 07:35 | < Soren> | Anyway, yeah, my mother's a maniac too. That's why I haven't talked to her in, oh, a buncha years. |
| 07:36 | <~Noah> | I like that two stud curvy piece on the front of some of those |
| 07:36 | <~Noah> | Dunno why, but it has a retro feel to me |
| 07:36 | < afny> | You mean on the conscripts? |
| 07:36 | <~Noah> | Yes, I believe so |
| 07:36 | < afny> | the four bipedal guys? |
| 07:37 | <~Noah> | Yes |
| 07:37 | < afny> | Yeah, they scream retro real robot to me too |
| 07:37 | < Soren> | They're very dieselpunk, yeah. |
| 07:37 | < Soren> | Hang on, psychokitty it stealing Lego. |
| 07:37 | < Soren> | is* |
| 07:37 | < afny> | I'm surprised FC companies aren't more popular on the board |
| 07:38 | < Soren> | They were super popular with the Kickstarter folks. |
| 07:38 | < afny> | Honestly I think it's just the lore that sends people in the SU/Ijad direction |
| 07:38 | < afny> | FC has the "weakest", least purpose-built frames |
| 07:39 | < afny> | at least that's the perception |
| 07:39 | <~Noah> | I found this neat baseplate in my sons room. I've seen it for months, but it just registered today that it was a baseplate for Lego. It's a top to a toybox of his, and big wooden base as a part of it. it's 20x40 |
| 07:39 | < Soren> | I'm hoping to change that a bit. I tend to shift my personal building depending on what I think isn't getting ebough love. |
| 07:39 | < Soren> | enough* |
| 07:40 | < afny> | Make it into a campaign map and keep your terrain in it! |
| 07:40 | < afny> | Well, I mean, buy another one and don't steal toys from your son -_- |
| 07:40 | < afny> | AND THEN DO THAT |
| 07:40 | <~Noah> | Hah, well, the toybox has holes for wooden blocks |
| 07:40 | < Soren> | ... You guys may have noticed that my typing occasionally sucks horse asshole through a straw. |
| 07:41 | <~Noah> | Which is why I never noticed the baseplate in the lid, because it didn't come with legos of any sort |
| 07:41 | <~Noah> | Soren: My typing will range from competent secretary to belligerent drunken monkey depending on my sleep levels for the week |
| 07:42 | < Soren> | Yeah, mine's just completely random. |
| 07:42 | < Soren> | Apparently my manual dexterity just take a lot of unannounced smoke breaks. |
| 07:42 | < Soren> | takes* |

| 07:46 | <~Noah> | You have all kinds of cool bits, I spent a lot of time in the dark ages :\ |
| 07:46 | < Soren> | https://www.dropbox.com/s/d6kftdd0yn5j8nq/ST-02E%20Carronade.JPG Oh, and this guy. I guess I should stop being a tool and post some of this shit. |
| 07:47 | < afny> | Love the shoulder mounts |
| 07:47 | < Soren> | I made it a personal mission to clean out no few garage sales and childhood friends. |
| 07:47 | < Soren> | ty |
| 07:47 | < afny> | I found out that my mother gave away nearly 1/2 of my legos to a family she did child care for |
| 07:47 | < afny> | I ;_; |
| 07:48 | < afny> | So I've been building with no claws or T joint things |
| 07:48 | <~Noah> | Yea, I'm right on the yard sale belt, need to hit those up next weekend when I'm feeling better |
| 07:48 | < afny> | there's a YARD SALE belt? |
| 07:48 | < afny> | like the bible belt? |
| 07:48 | <~Noah> | Yea, it's a sort weird thing |
| 07:50 | < afny> | there's some sales around here yearly, I have to start watching for them |
| 07:50 | < afny> | but it's a pretty sparse area |
| 07:50 | < Soren> | If you don't mind occasional cat barf and spiders, it's a great way to load up on nonspecific 'parts' |
| 07:50 | < afny> | more tractors for sale than legos |

| 07:57 | < Soren> | hrm. I have a thing about baseplates. I'm not sure they're a good idea. |
| 07:57 | < Soren> | But, if you gotta, that's not a bad one. |

| 07:57 | < afny> | Ugh, I thought I fixed that |
| 07:57 | <~Noah> | I'll probably use it to make my garage shots |
| 07:58 | <~Noah> | I have some smaller black baseplates that I'm going to use for stations |
| 07:59 | < Soren> | Not a bad idea. I gave all my baseplates away to Joshua a couple years ago, and I find I don't really miss them. |
| 07:59 | < afny> | I hate baseplates with a passion |
| 07:59 | <~Noah> | I never had any as a kid, lol |
| 07:59 | < Soren> | We should start a club. |
| 07:59 | < afny> | Baseplates are only good for slapping together and making a really annoying sound |
| 08:00 | < Soren> | that's not true, you can also kill flies with them. |
| 08:00 | < afny> | Ah, but in DOING so you make a really annoying sound. |
| 08:00 | < afny> | I guess it's just more efficient. |
| 08:01 | < Soren> | This is true. |
| 08:01 | <~Noah> | I used books I didn't like for that |
| 08:03 | <~Noah> | One summer day, I was particularly bored, and tried to see if I could get a dead fly between every page of my 6th grade math text. |
| 08:07 | <~Noah> | I ended up settling instead to have the number of flies to represent Pi to make it marginally less boring |
| 08:07 | < Soren> | What an excellent idea. |
| 08:08 | <~Noah> | I certainly thought so |
| 08:09 | < afny> | how many decimal places |
| 08:09 | < afny> | I mean there is a finite number of spaces between the pages |
| 08:10 | < afny> | but an infinite number of decimal places in PI... |
| 08:12 | < afny> | I think it's kind of weird that someone is running a sim against...his own company |
| 08:12 | <~Noah> | I think I made it to 15 places before night fell |
| 08:13 | < afny> | I was also thinking maybe you just got 3.14 flies |
| 08:13 | < afny> | like three flies and then a leg |
| 08:13 | < afny> | er, what I meant to say was |
| 08:13 | < afny> | someone is running a sim against MY company |
| 08:13 | < afny> | with his own company |
| 08:13 | <~Noah> | Is your company winning? |
| 08:14 | < afny> | Well like |
| 08:14 | < afny> | It's a loadout from this thread where a guy asked to run sims between companies of posters |
| 08:14 | < afny> | and we both submitted, and my company won |
| 08:14 | < afny> | and this guy's company lost |
| 08:14 | <~Noah> | !mf0 rrRbbww |
| 08:14 | < mf0bot> | Rolls for rrRbbww: Red (Attack) - [2, 6, 6], Blue (Defense) - [2, 1], Yellow (Spot) - [0], Green (Move) - [0], Whites (Wilds) - [1, 4] |
| 08:15 | < afny> | but now he's started a seperate thread and he's REPLAYING the battle, but he's doing all the rolls |
| 08:15 | < afny> | and playing for both me and him |
| 08:15 | <~Noah> | Why? |
| 08:15 | < afny> | Yes, that's why I think it's weird. |
| 08:15 | < afny> | Why? |
| 08:16 | <~Noah> | Yes, playing both yours and his |
| 08:16 | < afny> | I just don't understand his motivation |
| 08:17 | <~Noah> | Yea, I mean, he couldn't think like you, so that doesn't really show anything |
| 08:18 | < afny> | In the original sim, it was someone else running both sides. An impartial arbitrator |
| 08:18 | <~Noah> | Ahh |
| 08:18 | < afny> | and it wasn't like he could think like either of us; for me, it was just to see what kind of damage output a simple skirmish comp could get |
| 08:18 | <~Noah> | That's also kind of weird |
| 08:18 | < afny> | but this second sim is like |
| 08:19 | < afny> | well yeah, but I volunteered for that one. I mean I think the guy who was running it just had cool battle map graphics and was bored. |
| 08:19 | <~Noah> | hah |
| 08:20 | < afny> | I don't know. It's not a big deal, I just think it's kind of strange that he's made this whole new thread where it's just him fighting my company |
| 08:20 | < afny> | playing both sides of the battle |
| 08:24 | < Soren> | I suspect he lives under the sad delusion that the mechanics of the game are deterministic enough for that to simulate... anything. |
| 08:25 | <~Noah> | Yea, that was my guess |
| 08:25 | < afny> | I could never run a sim myself. Half the fun is picking what cover bricks to explode. |
| 08:26 | <~Noah> | Let's hide behind that...! smoking crater... |
| 08:27 | < Soren> | Picking the right cover bricks is fairly important. And another dick move: making cover out of 1x2 plates. |
| 08:27 | < afny> | Map design is so cool in this game for that reason though |
| 08:28 | < Soren> | moderately pricey, but triply tough. |
| 08:28 | < afny> | you could make a sweet bunker right at the middle of the map |
| 08:28 | < afny> | and even though it isn't an objective, controlling it would give you an advantage because it's a BUNKER |
| 08:28 | < afny> | made out of 1x2 plates |
| 08:28 | < Soren> | indeed. |
| 08:29 | < afny> | you can also strategically place plates in layers in cover that is primarily bricks |
| 08:29 | < afny> | to "reinforce" it |
| 08:29 | < Soren> | Also, using artillery to preemptively reduce important bits of cover. |
| 08:29 | <~Noah> | I say the guy who makes that supplies the lego pry tool |
| 08:29 | < afny> | yes! I thought of that the other day when I realized sometimes my arty hits would risk friendly fire |
| 08:29 | < afny> | so instead of passing, break cover the enemy is likely to use |
| 08:30 | < afny> | When I started building my company, I went for two days before finding my pry tool |
| 08:30 | < afny> | my fingers ;_; |
| 08:31 | <~Noah> | I still lack one of those tools |
| 08:31 | <~Noah> | Instead, I use a melon baller |
| 08:31 | <~Noah> | Which, has worked wonders |
| 08:31 | < Soren> | I've used a pocketknife to separate plates. |
| 08:32 | < afny> | and also you get to say the word "melon baller" |
| 08:32 | < Soren> | I don't recommend it. |
| 08:32 | <~Noah> | I wouldn't follow it even if you did |
| 08:33 | <~Noah> | The melon baller is just "sharp" enough to pry even stubborn legos, and the hemisphere shape helps separate the pieces once it's gets between |
| 08:33 | < Soren> | interesting. |
| 08:34 | <~Noah> | uhg, 0330, time for sleep |
| 08:36 | <~Noah> | Anyway, nice to see you in the chat Soren, thanks for hanging out with us. Cedric and Ferret are around during the day randomly, so you might catch them with any luck |

| 16:47 | <~Noah> | Soren|Away: And I found mIRC to be quit nice looking once you removed the menu bar, and changed the color of the text windows, and switched the channel switcher to tree-mode, and autohided the nicklist.

| 17:04 | < Ced23Ric> | The plan is hilarious. |
| 17:04 | < afny> | you can build one of my H1s with no taps or travis bricks |
| 17:04 | < Ced23Ric> | I will replace the Taps with Hammers. |
| 17:04 | < afny> | WAT |
| 17:04 | < afny> | that doesn't work at all |
| 17:04 | < Ced23Ric> | It does. |
| 17:05 | < afny> | those little hammers with square heads? |
| 17:05 | < Ced23Ric> | I already did it. |
| 17:05 | < afny> | maybe I'm thinking of a different kind of hammer |

| 17:06 | < Ced23Ric> | Nah. |

| 17:06 | < Ced23Ric> | Old hammer is old. |
| 17:06 | < Ced23Ric> | Okay, tactical decision. |
| 17:06 | < Ced23Ric> | I think I need to scrap one Concript. |
| 17:06 | < Ced23Ric> | Or I could reinvent the wheel and find a solutions that uses 2 taps less per 'frame. |
| 17:07 | <~Noah> | Do that one |
| 17:07 | < Ced23Ric> | I am 5 taps short. |
| 17:07 | < afny> | it's hard to use less taps on the conscript |
| 17:07 | < afny> | I tried |
| 17:07 | < afny> | but I also don't have any of those t joints |
| 17:07 | <~Noah> | Mod the conscripts, make them better |
| 17:07 | < afny> | so I just gave up |
| 17:07 | < Ced23Ric> | Mhmm, good Idea. |
| 17:07 | < Ced23Ric> | I'll use the Pneumatic pieces. |

| 17:08 | < Ced23Ric> | I need 8. And have 7. |
| 17:08 | < Ced23Ric> | Time to liberate a T piece. |
| 17:08 | <~Noah> | Doubt they have legos, but I'll look anyway |
| 17:09 | < Ced23Ric> | Maybe if I can substitute a T piece with a 4L shaft in the WW01 ... |
| 17:10 | < Ced23Ric> | I can. :D |
| 17:10 | < Ced23Ric> | And hilariously enough, it even made the WW10 more stable. |

| 17:34 | < afny> | I know that feel |
| 17:35 | < Ced23Ric> | I need 6 claws. |
| 17:35 | < Ced23Ric> | No idea where to strip them from. |
| 17:36 | < Ced23Ric> | Each chubs uses 4 claws. |
| 17:36 | < Ced23Ric> | I have 4 chubs. |
| 17:36 | < Ced23Ric> | Each Gadian uses 2 claws. |
| 17:36 | < Ced23Ric> | I have 4 of those. |
| 17:36 | < Ced23Ric> | Each VMX uses 2. Got 2 of those aswell. |
| 17:37 | < Ced23Ric> | Oh wait, the Saturaika has 4 claws, too. |
| 17:37 | < Ced23Ric> | That's 26 claws. |
| 17:37 | < Ced23Ric> | 2 I had free. Makes 28. |

| 18:39 | < Ced23Ric> | There's now T pieces and claws in there. :D |
| 18:39 | < Soren> | Handy. |
| 18:39 | < Soren> | Yeah, I've been refitting mine to use the little robot claws instead of clips for hands. More flexible. |
| 18:39 | < Ced23Ric> | I'mma just finish the LDD file, and then it's foto shoot time. |
| 18:39 | < Ced23Ric> | ... I might need some innocent bystanders. |
| 18:39 | < Ced23Ric> | As in, "misbehaving civilians". |
| 18:40 | < Soren> | where 'misbehaving' is equal to 'not under cover the might keep them from being splattered like meat-filled balloons.' |
| 18:41 | < Soren> | *that |

| 18:42 | < Ced23Ric> | Lollerskates. :D |
| 18:42 | < Ced23Ric> | Well, they are CLEARLY rioting. |
| 18:42 | < Ced23Ric> | But nothing a 'frame-sized baton cannot fix. Permanently. |
| 18:43 | < Soren> | quite permanently, in fact. |
| 18:45 | | * Ced23Ric giggles like a little school girl. |
| 18:45 | < Soren> | https://www.dropbox.com/s/i0bwt52zxtpdqyi/Salamander%20Company.jpg I don't know if you've been picking through the logs or not, but these guys might pique your interest. |
| 18:45 | < Ced23Ric> | When I started out on these 4 guys, I was so sure I could pull it off no problem. |
| 18:45 | < Ced23Ric> | Turns out, I was wrong. |
| 18:45 | < Ced23Ric> | I stripped 5 guns, an entire other 'frame and still ended up with two different colours sets. |
| 18:46 | < Ced23Ric> | Yeah, those guys are cool. |
| 18:46 | < Soren> | Yeah, that's a common problem. You've got so many parts, until you need to build something with them. |
| 18:46 | < Ced23Ric> | I'm trying to build ... uhm ... 5 companies here. |
| 18:46 | < Ced23Ric> | 1. Vesopia's Mercenaries, in black/grey/tan. Got 5 done. |
| 18:47 | < Ced23Ric> | 2. Vesopia's Ijad-Hybrid 'frames, got 2 of those done and 3 in the pipe. |
| 18:47 | < Ced23Ric> | 3. SU Peacekeepers, 3 'frames done, 3 to go. |
| 18:47 | < Ced23Ric> | 4. The Brotherhood, garishly colored 'frame jockeys with stolen and repurposed 'frames, complete hodge podge. |
| 18:48 | < Ced23Ric> | 5. Actual labor an utility 'frames. |
| 18:48 | < Ced23Ric> | The Conscripts will fill slot 5. :D |
| 18:54 | < Soren> | Sounds like a plan |
| 18:58 | < Ced23Ric> | *giggles some more* |
| 18:58 | < Soren> | https://www.dropbox.com/s/aklazmraz1dc0xv/You%20want%20a%20piece%20of%20me%2C%20 boys%3F.jpg Here, let me help you with that. |
| 18:59 | < Ced23Ric> | SHE SO CUTE. :D |
| 19:00 | < Soren> | Yeah. Works surprisingly well |
| 19:01 | < Ced23Ric> | Using those arms ... I do't really like them, because they appear so ... un-Lego. |
| 19:01 | < Ced23Ric> | Y'know what I mean? |
| 19:01 | < Soren> | I go back and forth, They're incredibly useful for some applications. |
| 19:01 | < Ced23Ric> | I believe it. Small scale arms? Sure. |
| 19:02 | < Soren> | or scaffolding. |
| 19:02 | < Soren> | They make great shoulder harnesses for minifigs, too. |
| 19:02 | < Ced23Ric> | Got any pics of that? |
| 19:03 | < Soren> | Not handy, no. |
| 19:03 | < Ced23Ric> | Aww. |
| 19:03 | < Ced23Ric> | Okay. |
| 19:03 | < Soren> | I recall someone using them for a roller coaster. Not a complex design, regardless. |
| 19:03 | < Soren> | Let's see... |
| 19:06 | < Soren> | ..yeah, i got nothin'. |
| 19:06 | < Soren> | https://www.dropbox.com/s/e9qlxwh9rd4e7t2/Heavy%20Strider.JPG Quick, a distraction! |
| 19:06 | < Soren> | https://www.dropbox.com/s/ce3hqh6y3vxykrr/Stations.JPG Quick, another distraction |
| 19:07 | < Ced23Ric> | Me rikey heavy Scramblers. |
| 19:07 | < Soren> | They are super fun to build |
| 19:19 | < Ced23Ric> | Okay, time to build some scenery. |
| 19:19 | < Ced23Ric> | And then it's photoshootin' time. |
| 19:22 | < Ced23Ric> | 9 protesters, 4 'frames, 2 policemen and 2 peacekeepers. |
| 19:22 | < Ced23Ric> | It's a party! |
| 19:26 | < Soren> | hh |
| 19:26 | < Soren> | heh* |
| 19:27 | < Soren> | Man, my IRCfu is weak. I can't even heh properly |
| 19:33 | < Ced23Ric> | It gets better over time. |
| 19:33 | < Ced23Ric> | *rubs chin* |
| 19:34 | < Ced23Ric> | I think I bought my IRC License before the millenium. |
| 19:37 | < Soren> | yeah, just out of practice. |
| 19:37 | < Ced23Ric> | Things I don't have: favorable light conditions. |
| 19:37 | < Soren> | when in doubt, Photoshop! |
| 19:45 | < Ced23Ric> | What's the MDS of the Conscript? |
| 19:45 | < Soren> | MDS? |
| 19:46 | < Ced23Ric> | Manufacturer Designation ... Something. |
| 19:46 | < Ced23Ric> | Like, ST07 Chub, or my VMW-xx 'Frames. |
| 19:46 | < Soren> | LF-2/ST-02, depending on whether it's the civil or militarized version. |
| 19:47 | < Ced23Ric> | Gotcha, thanks. |
| 19:47 | < Ced23Ric> | Labor Frame and Something Tank, eh? |
| 19:48 | < Soren> | Standing Tank, yeah. |
| 19:49 | < Ced23Ric> | Gotcha, thanks. |
| 19:53 | < Soren> | ...there's nothing like a hyped-up ferret SLAMMING into a shelf to tell you which of your models are stable, and which are not. |
| 19:59 | < Ced23Ric> | You have a ferret. |
| 19:59 | < Ced23Ric> | I stopped reading after that realisation. |
| 20:06 | < Ced23Ric> | http://www.mobileframehangar.com/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=1385 |
| 20:06 | < Ced23Ric> | There we go. |
| 20:08 | < Soren> | He's a bad little weasel - he's not supposed to be in this room. |
| 20:09 | < Soren> | Technically, he's my wife's weasel, but you get attached to the little toe nibblers. |
| 20:11 | < Soren> | That guy with the chainsaws is terrifying. |
| 20:17 | < Ced23Ric> | I know. |
| 20:18 | < Ced23Ric> | "Have you ever been so angry, you wanted to wield an industrial-sized buzzsaw?" |
| 20:18 | < Soren> | I picture him being filled with whiskey and rage. |
| 20:18 | < Ced23Ric> | "Have you ever been so angry, you wanted to dualwield two industrial-sized chainsaws?" |
| 20:18 | < Ced23Ric> | It's his buddy. |
| 20:18 | < Ced23Ric> | They get along greatly. |
| 20:18 | < Soren> | I bet. |
| 20:22 | < Soren> | http://io9.com/5911786/164-years-later-researchers-map-phineas-gages-pierced-bra in?utm_campaign=socialflow_io9_facebook&utm_source=io9_facebook&utm_medium=socia lflow Tangent: I love science. |
| 20:29 | < Soren> | http://www.mahq.net/mecha/votoms/steelforce/ath-06-snc.htm I also love robots! |
| 20:43 | < Ced23Ric> | He's a sexy robot. |
| 20:43 | < Soren> | There's some really great stuff hidden away in the VOTOMS section. |
| 20:45 | < Soren> | Also some severe wack, but mostly great |
| 20:45 | < Soren> | http://www.mahq.net/mecha/votoms/lightningslash/ath-x-hsw.htm |
| 20:51 | < Ced23Ric> | Yeah, that one is nice. |
| 20:52 | < Ced23Ric> | Actually ... that should be "buildable." |
| 20:52 | < Soren> | Yeah, it should. |
| 20:52 | < Soren> | Pretty easily, too. |
| 20:52 | < Ced23Ric> | The rocket pod, mhmm. |
| 20:52 | < Ced23Ric> | May with the lampholder trick. |
| 20:52 | < Ced23Ric> | *Maybe |
| 20:53 | < Ced23Ric> | Headlight bricks with 1x1 tiles with buttons. |
| 20:53 | < Soren> | yeah, that might do it. |
| 20:53 | < Ced23Ric> | *tries that right away* :D |
| 20:53 | < Ced23Ric> | Y'know, LDD is weird but great. |
| 20:53 | < Ced23Ric> | It's limited in so many connections we deem standard. |
| 20:53 | < Ced23Ric> | But for quick drafts, it's great. |
| 20:54 | < Soren> | Mm. I've never got the hang of any Lego CAD program - I think I'm saving those braincells for regular 3D |
| 20:56 | < Ced23Ric> | Fair enough. |
| 20:56 | < Soren> | I've heard similar good things from other people, though. |
| 20:57 | < Ced23Ric> | http://www.ced23ric.de/stuff/mf0/rack.png |
| 20:57 | < Ced23Ric> | Maybe like so. |
| 20:57 | < Soren> | Yeah, that works. |
| 20:58 | < Ced23Ric> | Just gotta find a way to mount. |
| 20:58 | < Ced23Ric> | Meh, 1x1 clip + 1x2 pronged thingey will do. |
| 20:59 | < Soren> | it usually does. |
| 21:00 | < Ced23Ric> | Hey, any news on "MFZ kits", by the way? |
| 21:00 | < Ced23Ric> | Or do you work on different construction sites? |
| 21:00 | < Soren> | Um, in what sense? |
| 21:01 | < Soren> | Are you asking about Garages, or something else? |
| 21:04 | < Ced23Ric> | Yeah. |
| 21:04 | < Ced23Ric> | Garages, or even "4 Conscripts kits". |
| 21:04 | < Soren> | Paul sent me four of them to do the Special Editions. They are swimmingly good. |
| 21:04 | < Soren> | So everything's on track there, so far as I can tell. |
| 21:06 | < Ced23Ric> | To rephrase my question: Is there ever going to be an MFZ shop were I could order 2x "3 Chubs with DF weapons" as a kit? |
| 21:06 | < Soren> | I really doubt it. |
| 21:06 | < Soren> | Just the Garages are a pretty impressive amount of work. |
| 21:08 | < Ced23Ric> | What's in there, anyway? There was a link with a BL list ... |
| 21:09 | < Soren> | Enough stuff to build five Hi-Legs, Chubs, or Scramblers. |
| 21:09 | < Soren> | it's, um, a lot of stuff. |
| 21:10 | < Ced23Ric> | Things that I am looking for: That BL XML file. *rubs chin* Do you remember where that was posted/blogged? |
| 21:10 | < Soren> | no, sorry. |
| 21:13 | < Soren> | I'm curious now, though. |
| 21:15 | < Soren> | http://www.brickforge.de/software/brickstore/#dl I know this is the software we were talking about working with, if that helps. |
| 21:16 | < Ced23Ric> | Lemme look for it. |
| 21:17 | < Soren> | https://encrypted.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=mobile%20frame%20garage%20xml%20fi le&source=web&cd=1&ved=0CGcQFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fmobileframezero.wikia.com%2Fwi ki%2FMF0_Garage_Kit&ei=OVG5T4nIBOursAL2pJiLDA&usg=AFQjCNGczWNBXOgVbPAAUBf8GlgO_j 4cbA&cad=rja |
| 21:17 | < Soren> | First result. Duh. |
| 21:17 | < Ced23Ric> | Got it. |
| 21:17 | < Ced23Ric> | http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1392732/FullGarage%285%20units%29.html |
| 21:17 | < Soren> | ah, yeah. |
| 21:18 | < Ced23Ric> | Grey scramblers make Ceddypoo sad. |
| 21:19 | < Soren> | It's that or make the kit costs a lot more. |
| 21:19 | < Soren> | -s |
| 21:19 | < Ced23Ric> | Yeah, I understand that. |
| 21:20 | < Ced23Ric> | But I am very adamant about colours. :D |
| 21:20 | < Soren> | Heh. Well, if it's any consolation, I usually am too. |
| 21:20 | < Ced23Ric> | Oh, I saw thatU. ;) |
| 21:20 | < Ced23Ric> | D: |
| 21:20 | < Ced23Ric> | *that. |
| 21:21 | <~Noah> | <Soren> https://www.dropbox.com/s/xx6r2gef3vahaqd/Meeple%20Go%20Splat.JPG thusly | I cachinnated. |
| 21:21 | < Soren> | II'm gratified. |
| 21:22 | < Ced23Ric> | Things that went ker-splat: That dude. |
| 21:22 | < Soren> | I think the tiny pink brain splat is the part that turns it from horrifying to funny. |
| 21:23 | < Ced23Ric> | Is it bad that I thought that to be the point of impact from whereforth the goo splattered? |
| 21:23 | < Ced23Ric> | And still thought it was hilarious..? |
| 21:23 | < Soren> | No, and no. |
| 21:23 | < Soren> | Lego gore is always funny. |
| 21:23 | < Ced23Ric> | *cough* |
| 21:23 | < Ced23Ric> | I watched Final Destination and thought it was a riot. |
| 21:24 | < Ced23Ric> | FD3 made me laugh so hard, I had to bite my wallet in the cinema. |
| 21:24 | < Ced23Ric> | At home, I kept repeating the scene where buddy gets splatted by the window pane. Over and over again. |
| 21:25 | < Ced23Ric> | *cough* I may have issues. |
| 21:25 | < Soren> | You might, just a little |
| 21:25 | <~Noah> | Oh yea, I remember that |
| 21:27 | < Ced23Ric> | Noah remembers the scene, too! |
| 21:27 | < Ced23Ric> | Because it was hilarious and half, right? |
| 21:27 | < Ced23Ric> | Right? |
| 21:27 | <~Noah> | I thought it was pretty funny |
| 21:27 | <~Noah> | But I didn't care for many of the Final Destination movies |
| 21:28 | < Ced23Ric> | True. |
| 21:28 | < Ced23Ric> | But the tree through the cop car was golden. |
| 21:37 | < Soren> | There's a perfect level of violence, I think, where it's so over the top and characters are so cardboard that no matter how fucked-up it is on reflection, at the moment it's just howlingly funny. |
| 21:38 | < Soren> | Club Dread was like that - intentionally, but it hit the balance really well. |
| 21:52 | <~Noah> | Ced23Ric: http://www.ced23ric.de/stuff/mf0/ruler_b3.png |
| 21:52 | <~Noah> | What's that yellow ruler brick called? |
| 21:53 | <~Noah> | Soren too, if you know |
| 21:53 | < Soren> | I think it's under 'hinge' on Bricklink |
| 21:54 | < Soren> | I hate click hinges, though, so I have no idea off the top of my head. |
| 21:55 | < Soren> | http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=30387 Yep, right here. |
| 21:56 | <~Noah> | Ah, thanks, must've overlooked it in the list |
| 21:56 | <~Noah> | 30387 |
| 21:57 | <~Noah> | Damn, they don't come in green |
| 21:57 | <~Noah> | And only two white in the whole site, frak! |
| 21:59 | < Soren> | Now I'm kind of curious what you wanted it for. |
| 22:00 | <~Noah> | Oh, ruler, like Ced |
| 22:00 | <~Noah> | I just don't like yellow all that much |
| 22:00 | <~Noah> | Just gonna get them in bley and use the studs to pretty them up |
| 22:01 | < Soren> | ah. |
| 22:02 | < Soren> | Yeah, I haven't settled on a ruler design. I might use click-hinge plates with some kind of handy tile. |
| 22:02 | <~Noah> | Eight units is the length of the ruler, right? |
| 22:03 | < Soren> | yeah, subject to houseruling. |
| 22:03 | <~Noah> | Right |
| 22:03 | < Soren> | I'm making mine 9, because I'm an asshole and I love shooting at people who can't shoot back. |
| 22:03 | <~Noah> | I guess I'll just buy all the bley ones he has |
| 22:04 | < Ced23Ric> | Noah: You could grab those decorated tiles with numbers. ;) |
| 22:04 | < Ced23Ric> | Or, better, do them in binary. |
| 22:04 | <~Noah> | that's what I was thinking |
| 22:04 | < Ced23Ric> | Just grab 1x1 tiles with 1 and blank ones. |
| 22:05 | < Ced23Ric> | 0100 = 8 |
| 22:05 | < Ced23Ric> | No wait, that's 4. |
| 22:05 | <~Noah> | lol |
| 22:06 | < Ced23Ric> | 1000 = 8, 0111 = 7, 0110 = 6, 0101 = 5, 0100 = 4, 0011 = 3, 0010 = 2, 0001 = 1 |
| 22:06 | < Ced23Ric> | Conviently displayable on 1x4. |
| 22:06 | < Ced23Ric> | Fit's the clickey hinges perfectly. |
| 22:06 | <~Noah> | 1 10 11 100 101 110 111 1000 1001 1010 1011 1100 1101 1110 1111 |
| 22:07 | < Soren> | And here I'm just using striped 1x4s. |
| 22:07 | <~Noah> | I only have one of those |
| 22:07 | <~Noah> | The yellow/black striped ones? |
| 22:07 | < Soren> | white/red |
| 22:07 | < Soren> | I could flip over into Illustrator and make some 1x4 stickers. actually. |
| 22:08 | < Soren> | http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=6636pb043 OF course, if you're a true badass, you should use this tile. |
| 22:08 | <~Noah> | haha |
| 22:11 | < Ced23Ric> | Behold my kitchen skills: http://www.ced23ric.de/erdbeer_tiramisu.png Aww yeah. |
| 22:12 | <~Noah> | uh, whatever the stats on that? |
| 22:12 | < Ced23Ric> | !mfo bbbb |
| 22:12 | < mf0bot> | Ced23Ric: didn't recognise mfo bbbb |
| 22:12 | <~Noah> | 2 systems of delicious and 2 systems clog arteries? |
| 22:12 | < Ced23Ric> | Heh. |
| 22:13 | <~Noah> | !that Ced23Ric is a cool person |
| 22:13 | < mf0bot> | Noah: didn't recognise that Ced23Ric is a cool person |
| 22:13 | <~Noah> | Awwww snap!~ |
| 22:13 | < Ced23Ric> | There's 500 grams (15 ounces) of mascarpone, some milk and 100 grams (~2.5 ounces) of sugar in there. |
| 22:14 | < Ced23Ric> | Plus about 400 grams (12.5 ounces) of fresh strawberries, 4cl (a double shot) of Scotch and some strawberry sauce (tablespoon). |
| 22:14 | < Ced23Ric> | And, obvy, the biscuits. |
| 22:15 | < Soren> | Your tastebuds will be mascarpwnt. |
| 22:16 | < Ced23Ric> | It's so delicious. |
| 22:16 | < Ced23Ric> | I have taken up the habit of pushing Tiramisu to the next level. |
| 22:17 | < Ced23Ric> | Last time I did a strawberry-grape Tiramisu with Jack Daniels. |
| 22:17 | < Soren> | mm. |
| 22:17 | < Soren> | I think the fanciest I ever managed was orange ginger. |
| 22:17 | < Ced23Ric> | Next time, I am thinking kiwislices and lemon shell rasplings, with Vodka. |
| 22:18 | < Ced23Ric> | Maybe some lemons bits hidden in there, too. |
| 22:18 | < Soren> | lemon zest seems obligatory, yeah |
| 22:18 | < Ced23Ric> | And I wanna try to find a chocolate biscuit to replace the original stuff, too. |
| 22:19 | < Soren> | You can always make your own. Tiramisu is extra tasty with homemade madelines. |
| 22:19 | < Soren> | +e |
| 22:20 | | ferrelferret [ferrelferre@Nightstar-30921e32.fios.verizon.net] has joined #mf0 |
| 22:20 | < Soren> | And then all you need is a good chocolate genoise, which is not especially hard either. |
| 22:20 | < Soren> | and oh no, you'd have tons of leftovers. |
| 22:22 | <~Noah> | What's that one tall piece that people make raised bases for, for flying drones and such? |
| 22:24 | < Soren> | which? |
| 22:24 | <~Noah> | Uh, sec |
| 22:24 | < Soren> | the 1x8 cannon? |
| 22:24 | <~Noah> | I think |
| 22:24 | < Soren> | http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=30359b |
| 22:24 | < Soren> | this fucker? |
| 22:25 | <~Noah> | Yea yea, 30359b |
| 22:25 | <~Noah> | Thanks |
| 22:25 | < Soren> | yw. |
| 22:25 | < Soren> | Always try to get the version with the axle holder in the end, BTW. |
| 22:26 | < Soren> | much more useful. |
| 22:26 | <~Noah> | Gotcha |
| 22:26 | < Soren> | (I've been using them as flag mounts on stations, Easy to pop on and off.) |
| 22:28 | <~Noah> | Yea, good idea |
| 22:28 | <~Noah> | Suppose I'll need to make a wishlist so I can try and get everything from the same store |
| 22:30 | < Soren> | I wouldn't worry about these. They're everywhere and kind of useless, therefore dirt cheap. |
| 22:40 | < Ced23Ric> | Yeah, I grabbed like 5 of them for 5 cents at a local store. |
| 22:40 | < Ced23Ric> | No one needs them but us. |
| 22:48 | < Soren> | or rather, the people who need them are already sated. |
| 22:48 | < Soren> | Although you never know. I've got some ramp designs that use them. |
| 22:49 | < Soren> | https://www.dropbox.com/s/o8xa6nhgor0khel/Ramp%20Wide.JPG like this one |
| 22:53 | < Ced23Ric> | That's a very specific application. |
| 22:54 | < Ced23Ric> | And you could probably replace it with something else easily. |
| 22:54 | < Soren> | totally. But if I'm using a useless piece for that, it frees up better, more general pieces. |
| 22:54 | < Soren> | Mm, you can also make streetlamps with them, for what it's worth. |

| 22:57 | < Soren> | I'm not saying, go out of your way to get a lot of them, just that if you have them, they can be put to work |
| 23:02 | < Soren> | IT's one of the artifacts of buying sets - you end up with some really incredible WTFery that you need to trade or find a use for |
| 23:24 | < Soren> | Okay. I think everybody's kit has a shovel, at least. |
| 23:30 | < Ced23Ric> | Mhmm. |
| 23:30 | < Ced23Ric> | I have no shovel. |
| 23:31 | < Ced23Ric> | I have hammers, wrenches, firm keys, scanners, cameras, hatchets, larger hammers ... |
| 23:31 | < Ced23Ric> | But no butts, shovels or megaphones. |
| 23:31 | < Ced23Ric> | And no screwdrivers. D: |
| 23:33 | < Ced23Ric> | Soren. |
| 23:34 | < Ced23Ric> | What is this? |
| 23:34 | < Ced23Ric> | http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=30209 |
| 23:34 | < Ced23Ric> | I ordered 9 grey and 2 white. |
| 23:34 | < Ced23Ric> | I have no idea why. |
| 23:42 | < Soren> | I don't know what that's supposed to be. I have a bunch I don't use too. |
| 23:42 | < Soren> | But it looks super handy! |
| 23:42 | < Soren> | ...just like it has for the last, what, fifteen years? |
| 23:42 | < Ced23Ric> | I wonder what I could do with that. |
| 23:42 | < Ced23Ric> | Yeah. |
| 23:42 | < Soren> | Almost. |
| 23:42 | < Ced23Ric> | Exactly. |
| 23:43 | < Ced23Ric> | It's a WTF part. |
| 23:43 | < Ced23Ric> | Maybe terrain. |
| 23:43 | < Soren> | Maybe some kind of Ijad shield-generator buttpod. |
| 23:43 | < Soren> | Who knows. |
| 23:43 | < Ced23Ric> | The white ones, yeah. |
| 23:43 | < Ced23Ric> | I'll see about it once it's here. |
| 23:43 | < Soren> | Mm, there are Ijad who use other color schemes. |
| 23:44 | < Soren> | I just finished up some in dark gray for one of the Custom Companies. |
| 23:44 | < Soren> | I wanna do purple/pink on gray for myself, later. |
| 23:45 | < Ced23Ric> | Sheesh. |
| 23:45 | < Ced23Ric> | I still want to make a pink one-of. |
| 23:45 | < Ced23Ric> | For my terrorists. :D |
| 23:45 | < Soren> | I have a lot of pink. I had ambitions of a Tieren Taozi a while back. |
| 23:45 | < Soren> | It might be time. |
| 23:46 | < Ced23Ric> | UGH. |
| 23:46 | < Ced23Ric> | I just about had it with one specific connection of the Chub. |
| 23:46 | < Ced23Ric> | Guess which one. |
| 23:47 | < Soren> | the hip joint, o course. |
| 23:47 | < Soren> | of* |
| 23:47 | < Ced23Ric> | Nah. That one, I completely dodged. |
| 23:47 | < Soren> | hmm. Neck or shoulder, then. |
| 23:47 | < Ced23Ric> | I use claws in the legs, biting into taps, which are shielded by those capes with the stud. |
| 23:48 | < Ced23Ric> | Nope. The pelvis. |
| 23:48 | < Soren> | hunh! |
| 23:48 | < Ced23Ric> | Travis into dish into 1x2 brick /w hole. |
| 23:48 | < Ced23Ric> | And the travis into dish part ALWAYS comes lose. |
| 23:48 | < Ced23Ric> | Now I'll check whether I can jab a 3L shaft through there. |
| 23:48 | < Soren> | hunh! |
| 23:49 | < Soren> | I had that problem with one really old dish. |
| 23:49 | < Soren> | all the rest have been fine. |
| 23:49 | < Ced23Ric> | I guess I have 3 old dishes. :D |
| 23:49 | < Ced23Ric> | It gets lose errytime I move the legs. |
| 23:49 | < Ced23Ric> | But then again, my legs are stiff. |
| 23:49 | < Soren> | well, the dish can get kind of fucked-out, depending on how it's been removed from stuff in the past. |
| 23:50 | < Ced23Ric> | Things that suck: My only 3L shaft is the magician's wand ... |
| 23:50 | < Ced23Ric> | A black 3L shaft with coated tips. Boo. |
| 23:50 | < Soren> | if your shaft is 3L, get good with your fingers. |
| 23:51 | < Soren> | (I yielded to temptation.) |
| 23:53 | < Soren> | Actually, the best way to fix that is this stuff: http://www.bricklink.com/catalogList.asp?catType=P&catString=528 |
| 23:54 | < Soren> | get a long piece and cut it into 2L chunks. Works like magic for several applications |
| 23:59 | < Ced23Ric> | There's a steadfast rule. |
| 23:59 | < Ced23Ric> | Ignoring assists is punishable. |
| 23:59 | < Ced23Ric> | 5 penalty points. |
