< Ced23Ric>
Issat tube rigif enough?
00:00
< Soren>
very much so.
00:00
< Ced23Ric>
*rigid
00:00
< Ced23Ric>
Mhmm, kay.
00:00
< Ced23Ric>
Seems like Lego's duct tape.
00:01
< Soren>
I've certainly used it as such.
00:01
< Soren>
a lot of the impetus is gone, though, since there are a bunch of better ways now.
00:02
< Ced23Ric>
Those 3L shafts work great, too.
00:02
< Ced23Ric>
Just tried it.
00:02
< Ced23Ric>
Instant stability.
00:02
< Soren>
yeah, the day there's a 2L bar, I'll be in hog heaven.
00:02
< Ced23Ric>
Cool side-effect: They serve as spacers for the tap tips.
00:03
< Soren>
handy
00:05
< Ced23Ric>
By the way, that 2x2 plate behind the Chub's chest armor ...
00:06
< Soren>
yes?
00:06
< Ced23Ric>
... izzat pure meat? It don't seem necessary.
00:06
< Soren>
it keeps the chin from overhanging goofily, but no, not really.
00:06
< Soren>
it *does* make thme slightly easier to build, though.
00:06
< Soren>
them*
00:07
< Ced23Ric>
Meh, I am fine with trickier building. :D
00:08
< Ced23Ric>
Just adds weight to the front.
00:08
< Ced23Ric>
And if you use a certain size weapon, the are quite tipsy.
00:08
< Soren>
I've always fixed that with a backpack power source.
00:08
< Soren>
or lots of spare ammo.
00:08
< Ced23Ric>
Heh.
00:09
< Ced23Ric>
Well, have you seen my standard-issue assault rifle?
00:09
< Soren>
I don't think so.
00:09
< Ced23Ric>
http://www.ced23ric.de/stuff/mf0/st07chubw_b2.png
00:10
< Soren>
Yeah that will tip shit over.
00:10
< Ced23Ric>
Yupp. :D
00:10
< Ced23Ric>
But it looked to sleek to pass on.
00:11
< Soren>
it's certainly intimidating.
00:11
< Ced23Ric>
I am imagining it as a nasty Bolter-like weapon.
00:11
< Ced23Ric>
If you know WH40k.
00:12
< Soren>
https://www.dropbox.com/s/181299f2hc2j3d9/Diving%20Beetle.JPG if you need a lighter alternative, though, this one works just fine.
00:12
< Soren>
I'm familiar enough
00:12
< Ced23Ric>
I managed to balance them now.
00:12
< Ced23Ric>
And added backpack mounts for storage.
00:21
< Ced23Ric>
My mom found an old digital camera.
00:21
< Ced23Ric>
A Konica-Minolta Dimage A2.
00:21
< Ced23Ric>
It uses CF cards.
00:21
< Ced23Ric>
*throws up hands*
00:21
< Ced23Ric>
But hey, she gave it to me for free. :D
00:21
< Ced23Ric>
And it sure beats my crappy phone cam.
00:30
< Ced23Ric>
http://www.ced23ric.de/stuff/mf0/st07j_chub_b7.png <- 'nother Chub.
00:30
< Ced23Ric>
Uses hammers and claws for the hips.
00:30
< Ced23Ric>
Jammed an old hammer, the bigger ones, through the travis & headlight brick, and stuffed the claws into the pelvis.
00:31
< Ced23Ric>
Clips right in underneath the head of the hammer.
00:31
< Ced23Ric>
And gives fair posability.
00:36
< Ced23Ric>
http://www.ced23ric.de/stuff/mf0/st07chubw_b5.png <- Stashed rifle, sword and shield out. I guess the other one needs a sword now, eh?
00:42
< Soren>
can't hurt
00:42
< Ced23Ric>
Well, that's the entire reason he would get one!
00:45
< Ced23Ric>
Nice. Helps balance, too.
00:55
< Ced23Ric>
That odd realisation when you see 18 'frames on your deskboard.
00:55
< Ced23Ric>
Heh.
00:55
< Ced23Ric>
Vair nice.
00:55
< Ced23Ric>
Anyway, bed time, gotta get up for work in 4 hours.
00:55
< Ced23Ric>
Laterers!

< KarolineDianne>
Hello?
03:37
< KarolineDianne>
Ahaha, this is hilarious. This looks exactly like the DeviantArt Messaging Network chatrooms... Just with different colors.
03:37
< Soren>
oh, hey.
03:37
< Soren>
Activity!
03:37
< KarolineDianne>
:D
03:37
< KarolineDianne>
Oh wow, Soren! Goodness!
03:37 * KarolineDianne feels like she's meeting a celebrity. xD
03:38
< Soren>
Alas, I'm only a celebrity in my own pants.
03:38
< Soren>
Er. Mind. That's what I meant to say.
03:38
< Soren>
Really.
03:38
< KarolineDianne>
Oh my... :o
03:40
< Soren>
More prosaically, I have subcultural internet fame, which is exactly like not being famous at all.
03:40
< KarolineDianne>
Well still
03:41
< Soren>
If it keeps me from getting slapped when I say hilariously inappropriate things, I'll take it.
03:41
< KarolineDianne>
You're the lego-genius who's responsible for much of the official designs
03:41
< KarolineDianne>
So I'd say you're a bit of a celebrity... xD
03:42
< Soren>
well, I'm not going to object.
03:42
< KarolineDianne>
But forgive my blubbering...
03:42
< KarolineDianne>
So... I was trying to design a new Frame today, trying to make a knight-ish one... I wound up with a Chub.
03:43
< Soren>
heh
03:44 * McMartin finally managed to get 7 simultaneously deployable frames out of his current set of bricks.
03:44
<@McMartin>
They don't look much like frames, though.
03:44
< KarolineDianne>
Oh?
03:44
<@McMartin>
They're a lot more vehicle-y.
03:44
< KarolineDianne>
Well that's perfectly fine. :P
03:44 * McMartin took a lot of inspiration from the old game "Descent".
03:44
< KarolineDianne>
Oh cool!
03:45 * McMartin also hasn't touched bricks in like 15+ years.
03:45
< KarolineDianne>
lol
03:45 * McMartin doesn't appear to have all the neat bits for the official frames handy.
03:45
< ferrelferret>
Hey everyone!
03:45
< ferrelferret>
I forgot I was logged in
03:45
< ferrelferret>
lol
03:46 * KarolineDianne managed to make 4 of her 'Toads', one 'Nova', one 'Raptor' and a mobile radar platform with what she has. Though the colors don't exactly match.
03:46
<@McMartin>
I've got a lot of red and yellow
03:46 * Soren turns around and stares at three shelves full of robots
03:47
< Soren>
I made some stuff once, I guess.
03:47
<@McMartin>
I think my default setting needs to be one where all the construction equipment was mysteriously militarized
03:47
<@McMartin>
Soren: Heh
03:47
<@McMartin>
Yay loads of robots
03:47
< Soren>
I love doing militarized construction gear,
03:47
<@McMartin>
Hm.
03:47
< KarolineDianne>
I was able to make some infantry platoons like Zeek has on his site.
03:48
<@McMartin>
These hovercraft look distressingly like I'm flipping off my opponent.
03:48 * McMartin may want to rework where the long bits and where the curvy bits are on those.
03:48
< KarolineDianne>
Maybe you are. :P

< KarolineDianne>
Oh, those look pretty cool. Where are the weapon mounts, though?
03:49
<@McMartin>
Soren: Heh. I'm getting Terror From The Deep flashbacks.
03:49
<@McMartin>
KarolineDianne: This has been my main issue, yes. I think on the "wing" tips.
03:49
< KarolineDianne>
You should see the MF0:H20 thread on the main site.
03:50
< KarolineDianne>
THAT made me think of Terror from the Deep
03:50
< KarolineDianne>
Erh... By main site I mean the hangar
03:50
<@McMartin>
I don't have nearly enough dishes
03:50
< Soren>
Yeah, Andrew is a steely-jawed robot-making badass.
03:50
< Soren>
He and I go back a ways.
03:51
< KarolineDianne>
Also, militarized construction gear woo http://www.flickr.com/photos/karolinedianne/7201063254/in/photostream
03:51
<@McMartin>
Woo

<@McMartin>
(Here's my Class 1 Driller: https://hkn.eecs.berkeley.edu/~mcmartin/mfz_proto/smrp-03_twinbee.jpg )
03:52
< KarolineDianne>
Ooh, looks like spider mech thing?
03:52
<@McMartin>
Yeah, pretty much.
03:52
< KarolineDianne>
Or is it a hover tank with pincer-like diggers on the front and back?
03:52
<@McMartin>
My mining frames are more like walking minivans with rivet guns and lasers
03:52
< KarolineDianne>
Ah
03:53
<@McMartin>
I'm pretending this is so that they can handle rough ground as opposed to "becuase what use is a tank if it can't do martial arts"
03:53
< KarolineDianne>
:o
03:54 * KarolineDianne is sadly terrible with her camera. And by camera she means her phone.
03:54
< KarolineDianne>
I can't seem to get good pics of my stuff, not that I have much to show yet.
03:54
<@McMartin>
I'm getting about one decent photo in five with mine.
03:54
< KarolineDianne>
I did place a BrickLink order, though, I should have the pices to make at least one of my Vulture frames soon.
03:55
< KarolineDianne>
And about 50 tap pieces, because frak I need those.
03:55 * KarolineDianne only found 1 tap piece in her entire collection. Only one travis piece too.
03:55
<@McMartin>
I'm still a little new at this; what's a "tap" piece? Travis I recognize
03:56
< KarolineDianne>
Tap piece is the one that looks like the end of a water hose.
03:56
< KarolineDianne>
It's used in lots of Soren's designs.
03:56
<@McMartin>
Op
03:56
<@McMartin>
Oh
03:56
< KarolineDianne>
There's a crapload in the Conscript, and four in the Chub.
03:56
< KarolineDianne>
It's usually used for shoulders, hips, and handles to guns.
03:57
< KarolineDianne>
At least from what I've seen.
03:58
<@McMartin>
Yeah, I can see that
03:58
<@McMartin>
I have basically no pieces that are immediately recognizable as weapons. -_-
03:59 * KarolineDianne pets
03:59
< KarolineDianne>
It's okay
03:59
< KarolineDianne>
We all make due with what we have, and then toss money away for more. :I
03:59
< KarolineDianne>
I wouldn't have designed my first three Frames if I had the right pieces to make my own Chubs.

04:02
< Soren>
b To answer the inevitable tap-related question - they're an old part, pretty cheap, and available in a lot of different colors.
04:03
< Soren>
So I went with them in the hopes, hilariously, of being easier on peoples' budgets.
04:03
<@McMartin>
Heh
04:03
< KarolineDianne>
I've actually had to use the 'nozzle' piece in my digital designs. LDD doesn't like clipping things together that work irl but don't fit perfectly on the digital grid.
04:04
< KarolineDianne>
The nozzle is similar, but has a longer profile that gives me room to fit the legs and such on.
04:05
< Soren>
Yeah, there's enough different stuff that works that I'm not terribly concerned.
04:07
< KarolineDianne>
This one http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=194
04:09
< Soren>
Yeah, there's a newer version with a bit more of a gunlike appearance. I don't think I have any.
04:10
< KarolineDianne>
Though... That one's selling for 70 cents to a dollar apiece... Eek
04:10
< Soren>
http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=60849 this guy right here.
04:10
< KarolineDianne>
Ah, I've seen those.
04:10
< Soren>
http://www.bricklink.com/search.asp?itemID=66721&colorID=11 much cheaper, too.
04:10
< KarolineDianne>
I had to use those as the hips for my cousin's chub.
04:11
< KarolineDianne>
I don't really like the little square between the two bars, though. It kind of limits its use just a bit.
04:11
< Soren>
quite a bit, since you can't get those nice tight-fitting connections
04:12
< KarolineDianne>
Unless you do some part-mutilation and clip that off...
04:12
< Soren>
http://www.bricklink.com/store.asp?p=markaj1701&itemID=15922098 if you have six or seven bucks, though...
04:13
< KarolineDianne>
Though I'm no stranger to cutting plastic. I'm quite the miniature converter. Though I can't paint for crap. All of my warhammer minis look amazing... Until I paint them.
04:15
< KarolineDianne>
lol, I already ordered about 50 of those in my last Bricklink order.
04:15
< KarolineDianne>
Now's just the waiting game.
04:17
< Soren>
yeah. They go fast, though.
04:18
< KarolineDianne>
What I really need, though, is a place to play this game. It doesn't matter if I can make the models if I can't use them.
04:19
< Soren>
The perpetual problem.
04:19
< KarolineDianne>
The only place nearby is an official Games Workshop store... And you can't really bring this to a store where you can only play Warhammer.
04:19
< KarolineDianne>
If I had a proper local gamign store, I'd already be over there showcasing MF0 all the time.
04:19
< Soren>
yeah, I don't have an answer, unfortunately.
04:20
< Soren>
Seeing as I have plenty of options right as I'm moving overseas.
04:20
< KarolineDianne>
I'm just whining, really. :P
04:21
< Soren>
Well, you're entitled.
04:21
< Soren>
It does suck kind of a lot.
04:21
< Soren>
'cool new thing!.... that I can't find a way to play.'
04:22
< KarolineDianne>
I used to have a nice local game store, but then I moved. :/
04:22
< KarolineDianne>
And all my friends are several hours away in another city, or out of state.
04:22
< Soren>
ouch.
04:23
< KarolineDianne>
So here I sit, lonely with my legos and miniatures, only able to play my RPG's online.
04:23
< Soren>
That's a sad story.
04:23
< KarolineDianne>
To say nothing of my miniature wargames. THose I can't play at all. :<
04:24
< Soren>
https://www.dropbox.com/s/aklazmraz1dc0xv/You%20want%20a%20piece%20of%20me%2C%20 boys%3F.jpg I have nothing else, so I hope this is at least slightly cheering.
04:25 * KarolineDianne giggles...! xD
04:25
< KarolineDianne>
That's awesome and adorable at the same time.
04:26 * Soren bows
04:26
< Soren>
We aim to please.

< Soren>
https://www.dropbox.com/s/2q8bd3gti3bn14g/Grenade%20Crossbow.JPG and occasionally, to blow things up by the most ridiculous methods possible.
04:29
< KarolineDianne>
Haha, nice. I saw someone do a longbow on the Flikr site.
04:29
< KarolineDianne>
I think it was that guy with the M-something Dawn group. The red/white/gold guys...
04:32
< Soren>
Yeah, that was pretty nice.
04:32 * KarolineDianne realizes she's drinking sweet iced tea and eating pecan pie...
04:32
< KarolineDianne>
Oh ye gods... I really am Texan.
04:34
< Soren>
It's okay, i hear they have a cream for that now.
04:35
< KarolineDianne>
lololol
04:37
< KarolineDianne>
I suppose it doesn't help that I live on a plot of land that you could possibly call a farm... Considering we have a steer, a pig, and several chickens, as well as a garden to grow fruits and veggies... And my stepdad wears a cowboy hat...
04:43
< Soren>
Well, as long as you haven't fed anyone to the pig recently.
04:44
< KarolineDianne>
Define 'recently'....
04:44
< Soren>
in the last couple of years?
04:44
< KarolineDianne>
Nah, I don't think so.
04:45
< KarolineDianne>
We haven't had the pig much longer than a couple of years.
04:47
< Soren>
Then I think you're good.
04:48
< KarolineDianne>
Yay!
04:54
< Soren>
...I should clearly caramelize onions in orange juice more often.
04:54
< Soren>
numnumnum
04:55
< KarolineDianne>
Oh my
04:55
< KarolineDianne>
That sounds... Interesting.
04:55
< KarolineDianne>
Orange juice?
04:56
< Soren>
yes.
04:56
< KarolineDianne>
Huh
04:56
< KarolineDianne>
I don't like onions... But that sounds interesting.
04:56
< Soren>
Sadness. i love onions. Especially shallots.
05:00
< KarolineDianne>
I just really don't like the texture of onions. It feels weird.
05:01
< Soren>
Oh, I'm not attempting to persuade, just expressing generalized culinary regret.
05:01
< KarolineDianne>
Same with tomatoes. Though I love tomato sauce, soup, ketchup, etc... I can't eat whole tomatoes or chunks. The texture is just weird. I don't like it.
05:01
< KarolineDianne>
lol, yeah... Everything is cooked with onions in it.
05:02
< Soren>
You'll eventually learn that I'm the guy who will eat anything once. So I'm pretty understanding when it comes to other people and their food dislikes.
05:02
< Soren>
...which doesn't mean I don't sometimes pretend the octopus sashimi is my tongue.
05:03
< KarolineDianne>
wat xD
05:04
< KarolineDianne>
I'm a little picky with my food, really. I tend to be rather hesitant to try new things in general.
05:04
< KarolineDianne>
Probably because here in Texas, everyone is all conservative like.
05:04
< Soren>
Yeah, I eat it first and spit vogorously if it turns out ot be bad.
05:04
< Soren>
to*
05:05
< Soren>
vigorous*
05:05
< Soren>
....just, pretend I know what I'm doing.
05:06
< KarolineDianne>
lol
05:06
< KarolineDianne>
I tend to pick at food and give it weird looks and decide I don't want to eat it before I take my first bite. xD
05:07
< Soren>
That only takes you so far. Some things look hideous, yet taste wonderful. Like sea urchin.
05:08
< Soren>
Or chocolate-covered crickets.
05:08
< KarolineDianne>
ew
05:08 * KarolineDianne makes a face >.<
05:09
< Soren>
All the insects I've eaten have been really tasty. You just have to chew thoroughly and swallow quite firmly, or the legs tickle your throat.
05:10
< KarolineDianne>
>.<
05:10
< Soren>
Sorry, I should stop.
05:11
< Soren>
I forget that other people can actually lose their appetites.
05:11
< KarolineDianne>
Oh hey, you just made me realize... My throat isn't sore anymore.
05:20
< Soren>
I guess that's... something.
05:24
< KarolineDianne>
Well, it was really nice meeting you, Soren! I'll see about coming here again soon, I've been wanting a place to chat about MF0 with people who actually know what I'm talking about.
05:24
< KarolineDianne>
Sadly, I have work in the morning and it's late. I gotta go.

Aww
05:46

We had a new guest and I was stupidly afk
05:47

I've almost got the kitchen reorganized in a way that someone who intended to do any real cooking might use it
05:47

sweet.
05:47
< Soren>
I'm sure I'll have more gross food stories for her later, too.

btw, chocolate covered bugs, Soren++
05:54
<~Noah>
Speaking of cooking, I threw some ingredients in a pot and called him Stu.
05:54
< Soren>
You know, the last time a man made a pun like that to me, I reached down his throat and ripped out his pun gland.
05:55

I'm just sayin'.

DID YOU SEE MAH CONSRAPTS?!
06:06

I don't think I did, no
06:06

Which is exactly why I want to create an imagebin reposter damnit, lol
06:06
< Ced23Ric>
What.
06:06

I made them FOR YOU.

YOU WERE THE CHOSEN ONE.

I was FDK

<~Noah>
Oh yea, I saw those
06:09
<~Noah>
but it was tldr
06:09
<~Noah>
So reading now, lol
06:11
< Ced23Ric>
You even got PLUGGED.
06:12
<~Noah>
I totally see that
06:13
< Ced23Ric>
Ah, work.
06:13
< Ced23Ric>
5h 45 mins and I am free!
06:14
<~Noah>
Sweet
06:14
<~Noah>
What's the workweek over there?
06:16
< Ced23Ric>
I have a pretty sweet shift these days.
06:16
< Ced23Ric>
6.5h / day, but if I skip lunch break, only 6h.
06:17
< Ced23Ric>
And my hours are 7:00am - 01:30pm on Monday, 01:30pm to 08:00pm every other day.
06:17
< Ced23Ric>
But then again, I work for the government. Ministry of Health.
06:17
< Ced23Ric>
Everything here is a bit more chill.
06:17
<~Noah>
Well, what's standard for Germanio then? 40 like us? Or do you people hate yourselves less?
06:18
< Ced23Ric>
We usually do 9 to 5 aswell, but most work weeks have a short(er) Friday, so like 38h is normal.
06:18
<~Noah>
When do you start getting overtime pay? Or does anyone?
06:19
< Ced23Ric>
We usually add the hours to a mental account and take off earlier on slow days.
06:19
< Ced23Ric>
Most jobs have overtime included, so instead of beind paid out, we just don't go to work until it evens out.
06:19
<~Noah>
Ah
06:19
<~Noah>
Interesting
06:19
< Ced23Ric>
But when you do overtime, it's 1.5x regular money.
06:20
< Ced23Ric>
Usually, that is. We have many a union contract.
06:20
< Ced23Ric>
And even wider, frame contracts.
06:20
<~Noah>
Same here, I just wasn't sure if there was some... federal? Federal mandate that says when you must start getting paid overtime
06:20
< Ced23Ric>
Say, all metal industry employee have this and that condition guaranteed.
06:21
< Ced23Ric>
Federal mandates aren't messing too much with payment, other than minimum wage, really.
06:21
<~Noah>
Every place is a little different, and I always find it interesting to explore how other countries do things
06:21
< Ced23Ric>
Our strongpoints are certainly healthcare related.
06:21
< Ced23Ric>
Well, and employee protection.
06:22
< Ced23Ric>
For example, when my last employer (my last boss, actually) wanted to get rid of me for personal reasons, it got expensive.
06:23
< Ced23Ric>
He sent me home, paid in full, for the remainder of my timed contract - which was 9 months at that time. After 7, I took my leave, and got the last 2 month in half plus 7 grand (converted from Euros) on top severence pay.
06:23
< Ced23Ric>
If they wouldn't have done that, I could have sued myself back in.
06:23
<~Noah>
Yea, doesn't do jackshit here usually, yay for at-will employment
06:23
< Ced23Ric>
Basically, they have to bribe you to leave if they don't want you to be able to sue them.
06:24
< Ced23Ric>
If my timed contract would've ran out and they hired someone else for my position, I could've sued them aswell.
06:24
< Ced23Ric>
So they needed my consent.
06:24
< Ced23Ric>
And consent is expensive. ;)
06:25
<~Noah>
no wonder you have so many travis bricks
06:25
< Ced23Ric>
Bahaha.

I started with something like 300 of each and I had to refresh my supply.

They run out like gasoline in a 2012 Camero.
06:27
< afny>
I don't know what this is, but I like it
06:29
< Ced23Ric>
Make that a 2010 Camero, actually.
06:29
< Ced23Ric>
Those things are rare over here.
06:29
< Ced23Ric>
My little brother has one.
06:29
<~Noah>
Honestly, I think Obama is riding the gay train for re-election
06:29
< afny>
Is there a fuel efficient Camero?
06:29
< Ced23Ric>
There's a blackhole in the gas tank.
06:30
< Ced23Ric>
afny: Yes.
06:30
<~Noah>
Not that I have an issue, because I'm all for it
06:30
< afny>
I mean when I hear Camero I don't think fuel efficiency
06:30
< Ced23Ric>
It's called a mothballed Camero.
06:30
< Ced23Ric>
Those are pretty fuelefficient.
06:30

Also, yeah...saying that Obama is appealing to the gay vote is like saying Romney is appealing to Mormons.
06:34
< afny>
He ran on an equal rights platform last time, too, he just didn't really follow through all that much
06:34
<~Noah>
He can ride the Weed vote too while he's at it
06:34
< Soren>
true, but kind of beside the point, you mean?
06:34
< Ced23Ric>
I heard that the KKK is appealing to people of the last century.
06:34
< Soren>
At best.
06:34
< afny>
Yeah, I mean it's totally beside the point
06:34
< afny>
I mean it's just clearly in his best interest, so whether or not it's "politically motivated" is irellavent
06:34

I, for one, think that I have no business knowing where who sticks what in.

If I ever make to Tokyo, I am totalling gonna drink a cold one at the Hitler's.

Anyway, off to take the next pictures.
06:41
< Ced23Ric>

06:41

06:41
<~Noah>
Ich, Blue Ribbon?
06:41
< Ced23Ric>
Breakdowns, plox.

Apparently it's considered a quality American beer in Japan.
06:42
<~Noah>
God, those poor bastards

I drank ... Canadian, L?wenbr?u, Pilsner Urquell and Rickard's in Canada.

Doesn't look that complicated, Ced. Just a kind of Chub torso except extended to three bricks wide
06:42
< Ced23Ric>
Oh, and sometimes, when I didn't feel like a beer, I watered my throat with Coors Light. Not bad for soda, just an odd after taste.
06:43
<~Noah>
Haha
06:43
< Soren>
pretty much. There's some oddness in there that I can explicate.
06:43

Ah, I think I get it.
06:43

1x2 brick with hole, snaps into 1x1 wit 2 studs.
06:43
< afny>
I'm not ENTIRELY sure how the head connects
06:43
< Ced23Ric>
Bamm, triple launcher.
06:44
< Soren>
The head is connected by a clip to the taps the arms are on.
06:44
< Soren>
It's a little technical.
06:44
< Ced23Ric>
The head ... seems like two headlight bricks making sweet, sweet love.
06:44
< Ced23Ric>
But I could be wrong, eh? :D
06:44
< Soren>
headlight and 1x1 5-stud.

06:44
< Ced23Ric>
Ah, yes.
06:44
< Ced23Ric>
There's stuff around.
06:44
< Ced23Ric>
Well, with the taps being 1 space apart, you have a lot of space to mount the head.
06:45
< afny>
I can't visualize how you get a clip from there to one of the taps on the side
06:45
< afny>
that means...I need more coffee
06:45
< Ced23Ric>
Looks great, Soren. Certainly hits the "Before the Chub" feel.
06:47
< Soren>
Thanks. Let me edit, and I can hook you up with a more detailed explanation.
06:47
< Ced23Ric>
OKAY THEN.
06:47
< Ced23Ric>
Only this once.
06:47
< Ced23Ric>
Because you asked nicely.
06:47
< Ced23Ric>
And I like your stuff.
06:48
< afny>
OH, I think I get it
06:49
< Soren>
Two taps, with the handles meeting, is 3-wide.
06:49
< Soren>
It's a little tricky, but you can get a clip right in the middle there.
06:50
< afny>
So the clip isn't off center at all, it's just touching both handles?
06:50
< Soren>
https://www.dropbox.com/s/d6m9bu021q8wni0/ST-05D%20A.JPG https://www.dropbox.com/s/xusdkfqmi3b5am6/ST-05D%20B.JPG This guy's more conventional
06:50
< Soren>
yeah, it sits right in the middle.
06:51
< afny>
That's cool. Once I get some more taps/travis I'll try an 06 in two shades of green...I have some of those rounded pieces in the chest in an odd green color.
06:52
< Soren>
I'll probably post some breakdowns, eventually. I want these designs circulating, after all.
06:53

Is it strange that I'm considering buying from a Hawaii store because I'm curious how the packaging will smell?
07:00
< Soren>
a little.
07:01
< afny>
You think it will retain its smell
07:02
<~Noah>
Dunno, it might?
07:02
<~Noah>
Maybe I could put in the notes to include extra Hawaii smell
07:03
< afny>
I think you're asking for it if you do that
07:04
<~Noah>
Heh

Alright. I am back.

Also, Noah, if you need anything from Hawaii, let me know.

is

THE thing in Hawaii is surfing.
07:08
< Ced23Ric>
It's the solution to everything.
07:08
< Ced23Ric>
Clothes dirty? Go surf. Hard day at work? GO surf. Nothing to do? Go surf. Getting married? Go surf.
07:08
< Ced23Ric>
And so on.
07:09
<~Noah>
Yea, I heard they have an unhealthy fascination with spam from watching Bizarre Foods
07:09
< Ced23Ric>
Wasn't there Indonesia or some country over there that has SPAM as it's national dish?
07:10
< Soren>
can't be Indonesia. POrk's the least halal thing there is.

So the problem so far with using these two big quarterdomes as shields
07:12
< afny>
is without four of them it's very hard to make it look convincingly "projected"
07:12
< afny>
with four, they can rely on their own geometry
07:13
< afny>
I thought I had four but I guess the other two were with the box of stuff that got given away
07:13

yeah

07:17

White on black hi5
07:18
<~Noah>
Though I do color nicknames
07:19
< Ced23Ric>
Soren: Try a pastel yellow instead of the white. It's even more chill.
07:19
< Soren>
I color mine, so I don't respond to myself, like a tool.
07:19
< Ced23Ric>
Ah, the endless dialogues you can have with your past self.
07:19
< Ced23Ric>
"Anyone awake?" - *30 minutes later* "Yeah, me!"
07:20
< Soren>
yeah, I've been guilty of that.
07:20
<~Noah>
Same
07:20
< Ced23Ric>
I read too much bash.org to early to fall to that trap.
07:20
< Soren>
Mostly because I was idling and building at the same time.

07:25
< afny>
Well
07:25
<~Noah>
Well.
07:25
< afny>
I think I'm going to watch the new Game of Thrones
07:25
< afny>
Back in 50~
07:25
<~Noah>
Oh damn, is that showing again
07:25
< afny>
like 8 episodes in to season 2
07:25
<~Noah>
Fuck, i fail
07:26
< Soren>
I'm waiting to crank through it in one go.
07:26
< Soren>
More satisfying than waiting.
07:26
<~Noah>
Yea, I should do that too, probably for the best
07:26
< Soren>
erm, waiting a week between episodes.
07:27
< afny>
I'd do that if I hadn't already read the books
07:27
< Ced23Ric>
So.
07:27
< Ced23Ric>
Soren.
07:27
< Ced23Ric>
YOur brain is for picking, you said.
07:28
< Ced23Ric>
Here's what I want to do.
07:28
< Soren>
Pick ahead. I don't promise to give serious answers.
07:28
< Ced23Ric>
I need two 'frames.
07:28
< Ced23Ric>
I don't expect any.
07:28
< Ced23Ric>
'Frame A and B cannot be Chubs.
07:28
< Ced23Ric>
'Frame A should be a spotter predominantly. Spotter/Artillery, let's say.
07:29
< Soren>
Hmm. I generally try to avoid mixinf spot/arty
07:29
< Soren>
mixing*
07:29
< Ced23Ric>
'Frame needs to be a Hand-to-Hand and double B tanky 'frame.
07:30
< Ced23Ric>
Here's what I found: Arty, Spot, Spot, Def makes for great support.
07:30
< Soren>
ah, I can see that, yeah.
07:30
< Ced23Ric>
With soldiers in the front, that is.
07:30
< Ced23Ric>
Because soldiers can drop and fire in DF range.
07:30
< Soren>
Yeah. I'm still used to the old system, with no bonus awesome for doubling up on an attachment
07:30
< Ced23Ric>
And the Arty can drop spots and fire in Arty range.
07:31
< Ced23Ric>
So either can provide for the other.
07:31
< Ced23Ric>
And as both have Def, they are okay at surviving.
07:31
< Ced23Ric>
And the movement on the soldier makes up for his shorter range.
07:31
< Soren>
Yeah, I'll have to think about that.
07:32
< Ced23Ric>
So, think 4x Soldier with 3x Arty/Spot backup.
07:32
< Ced23Ric>
That's a lot of constant spot and firepower.
07:32
< Soren>
I like it, I'm just not sure that guy doesn't do better if he's split into two guys, unless you're trying for a really small army.
07:32
< Ced23Ric>
Well, here's the thing with pure spotters: They get hit.
07:32
< Ced23Ric>
And then, they drop spot.
07:32
< Ced23Ric>
And become instantly useless.
07:33
< Ced23Ric>
Because they now need DF range to spot.
07:33
< Soren>
Yeah, I'm just thinking one command, two snipers, might be an equally good way to bring the hurt.
07:33
< Ced23Ric>
Well, what else do you put on the snipers?
07:33
< Ced23Ric>
ArtyArtyDefMove?
07:33
< Soren>
3Rd, 3Ra, 1B
07:34
< Soren>
their job is to exploit the shit out of any spot anywhere.
07:34
< Ced23Ric>
So you're committing 1.5 systems to a range you cannot use. :|
07:34
< Soren>
the command guy and the soldier all have spots, and the commander has two.
07:34
< Soren>
No, here's the thing: those guys are effectively the only defense you ever need.
07:34
< Ced23Ric>
That makes you vulnerable.
07:34
< Soren>
Everybody else can be attacking all the time.
07:35
< Ced23Ric>
Because you now made your SpotSpot 'frame my prime target.
07:35
< Ced23Ric>
If I take that one out, you lose your reliable spots.
07:35
< Soren>
not really. All my other guys have single spots and guns of their own.
07:35
< afny>
I think the idea is to just use the singe spot soldiers to spot for the 3ra 3rd guys who can crossfire attackers if they get focused
07:35
< Soren>
I'm not saying it's foolproof, just potentially as good.
07:36
< Ced23Ric>
See, I am thinking having a bunch of EQUAL 'frames confuses the enemy.
07:36
< Ced23Ric>
He cannot pick out what to cripple.
07:36
< Soren>
I would imagine they're both excellent solutions, just to a different enemy configuration.
07:36
< Ced23Ric>
With your setup, I can focusfire either the damage or the spots.
07:37
< Ced23Ric>
With my configuration, you can't do that.
07:37
< Ced23Ric>
You can only try and take out specific 'frames.
07:37
< Ced23Ric>
But they are all the same. You know what I mean?
07:38
< Soren>
Yeah, I get why it's good. I'm just thinking.
07:38
< Ced23Ric>
I lose a rAYYB. I have two left. You lose your YYBG. You have none left and your snipers cannot spot themselves (properly).
07:38
< Soren>
My config probably works better for rolling back something with a lot of HtH.
07:38
< Ced23Ric>
Yeah, true.
07:39
< Ced23Ric>
But if you have return rA fire, my config is more ... what's the word?
07:39
< Soren>
it's got better endurance, because it loses capability slower.

This one.
07:40
<~Noah>
delicious
07:41
<~Noah>
I was going to order that 6133, but this store only has one
07:41
< Ced23Ric>
What for?
07:41
< Soren>
one is a good axeblade.
07:41
< Ced23Ric>
You'll end up making odd submarines with 12 barreled launchers again. :D
07:42
< afny>
I used some of those dragon wings on a guymelef prototype
07:42
< Ced23Ric>
Things we totally need: Escaflowne.
07:42
< afny>
they look pretty sweet but not Solar Calender material in that capacital
07:42
< Ced23Ric>
I am prone to sarcasm.
07:42
< Soren>
Pff. You guys need Five Star Stories.
07:42
< afny>
...wtf is capacital
07:43
< Ced23Ric>
It's like capital and capacity.
07:43
<~Noah>
I dunno, I can see and Ijad with a winged frame
07:43

07:45
< Ced23Ric>
It looks like an S&M enthusiast from the late 16th century going to a ball/orgy.
07:45
< Ced23Ric>
Soren: Fancy shoes he got there.
07:46
< Ced23Ric>
Anyway. Smokey times.
07:46
< afny>
I'd say that accurately describes pretty much all the character designs in five star stories as well
07:47
< Soren>
And a lot of their personalities.
07:47
< afny>
Well if I lived in the late 16th century with giant robots, I'd be in to some pretty weird shit too
07:47
< Soren>
Srsly.
07:47
< afny>
okay I'm really going to watch game of thrones now
07:55

I have an idea.
08:05

Are you ready for this.
08:05
< Ced23Ric>
Because, BACK YOUR SHIT UP, here it fucking comes.
08:06

at least in 10 minutes, new Deceased Crab let's play
08:10

FARMING SIMULATOR.
08:23 Soren is now known as Soren|Away
08:49
< afny>
Das good show
08:50
< Ced23Ric>
Izzat?
08:50
< Ced23Ric>
Haven't seen a single episode.
08:51
< afny>
It's very good
08:51
< Ced23Ric>
I just read the books ...
08:51
< afny>
I've read all the books, and in SOME ways
08:51
< afny>
I think the show is better
08:51
< afny>
Or at least as good, but for different reasons
08:51
< Ced23Ric>
It has more titties?
08:51
< afny>
which is surprising because I'm usually a purist
08:51
< afny>
it does have more titties
08:52
< afny>
It's just very well done, and sometimes it's nice to see some of the REALLY subtle character stuff from the books be painted a little more broad brush
08:54
< afny>
actually
08:54
< afny>
it's probably got less titties to be honest
08:55
< Ced23Ric>
:D
08:59
< afny>
So I'm out of the parts to build any more Nimrods
08:59
< afny>
out of taps
08:59
< afny>
so no Chubs
09:00
< afny>
I have ONE liberated travis brick
09:00
< afny>
THE CHALLENGE: build a convincing frame.
09:05
< Ced23Ric>
Alright. One Travis brick, you say?
09:05
< Ced23Ric>
Do you have headlights?
09:06
< Ced23Ric>
Clips and other rods you can repurpose? Claws? 1x1 round with open studs?
09:06
< Ced23Ric>
Butts, lampholders, 2 studded 1x1 bricks?
09:06
< Ced23Ric>
Motors?
09:07
< Ced23Ric>
This is cool, let's build something together!
09:11
< Ced23Ric>
Talk to me. D:
09:13
< afny>
oh oh
09:13
< afny>
what
09:13
< afny>
no rods
09:14
< afny>
some clips
09:14
< afny>
never had any claws
09:14
< afny>
some rounds
09:14
< afny>
tons of mottors
09:14
< afny>
what's a butt
09:14
< afny>
no 2x studded
09:14
< afny>
well one if I repurpose
09:14
< afny>
I've got a pretty hilarious torso built right now
09:15
< afny>
I haven't used my travis
09:18
< afny>
i've got like
09:18
< afny>
a cross between an at-st and a tachikoma
09:19
< Ced23Ric>
Mhmm.
09:19
< Ced23Ric>
Butt?
09:19
< Ced23Ric>
Uhmm. The "lamp".
09:20
< Ced23Ric>
That rod with a vertical grip and a cylinder on the front that accepts a stud.
09:20
< afny>
oh yeah
09:20
< afny>
I have two of those
09:20
< afny>
one black, one grey
09:20
< afny>
so i'm thinking asymetrical color scheme
09:20
< Ced23Ric>
Sweet.
09:20
< Ced23Ric>
Those make okay hip joints.
09:21
< Ced23Ric>
Or, alternatively, mount a torso on a pelvis.
09:21
< Ced23Ric>
I'd say, build an upper torso out of motors.
09:21
< Ced23Ric>
Slap the butt into one hole.
09:21
< afny>
that's basically the entire basis of my Nimrod frames
09:21
< Ced23Ric>
Clip the butt onto a pelvis.
09:21
< Ced23Ric>
Attach some legs.
09:21
< afny>
motors and butts.
09:21
< afny>
MOTORS AND BUTTS
09:21
< Ced23Ric>
MOTORS AND BUTTS.
09:21
< afny>
TAPS AND TRAVIS?
09:21
< afny>
NAH.
09:21
< afny>
MOTORS AND BUTTS.
09:22
< Soren|Away>
The last fifteen or so line here are super wierd without context.
09:22
< Soren|Away>
weird*
09:22
< afny>
what's a butt.
09:22 Soren|Away is now known as Soren
09:22
< Ced23Ric>
A butt is a very old part.
09:23
< Ced23Ric>
It has been around since forever.
09:23
< Ced23Ric>
People used butts way more often back then.
09:23
< Ced23Ric>
We didn't have the other tools.
09:23
< Ced23Ric>
(I keep this awkward on purpose.)
09:23
< afny>
listen
09:23
< afny>
I use butts ALL THE TIME.
09:23
< Ced23Ric>
So you are a butt guy, eh?
09:23
< afny>
black butts, grey butts
09:23
< afny>
it doesn't matter to me.
09:24
< Ced23Ric>
Yellow butts? White butts?
09:24
< afny>
one time I even used a BLUE butt.
09:24
< afny>
two, in fact.
09:24
< Ced23Ric>
Two blue butts at once, eh? Raunchy.
09:24
< afny>
I was going for three.

There was something I was going to ask you regarding Con, but then I forgot what it was...
09:37
< MittenNinja>
Oh man, that second one is boss
09:37
< Ced23Ric>
Con? You can leave it at 12.
09:37
< MittenNinja>
love the gun on it
09:37
< Soren>
thanks.
09:37
< Ced23Ric>
Unless you roll a Barbarian.
09:37
< Ced23Ric>
Go 14, then.
09:37
< Ced23Ric>
Unless it's a dwarf, +2, then.
09:38
< MittenNinja>
no no no, you need like 20+
09:38
< MittenNinja>
for the way I play anyways
09:38
< Ced23Ric>
You can drop Con to 10 if you roll rogue or wizard.
09:38
< Ced23Ric>
Other than that, 12.
09:38
< MittenNinja>
depends on what edition
09:38
< Ced23Ric>
Mittens, listen ... no one ever survived someone to death.
09:38
< Ced23Ric>
You need to kill people to death.
09:38
< MittenNinja>
if you're doing 4e Con can be pretty vital for wizards and rogues
09:39
< Ced23Ric>
But then I would be playing 4E.
09:39
< MittenNinja>
Obviously you never met "Taterhead"
09:39
< Ced23Ric>
Which would be horrible.
09:39
< Soren>
On the other hand, if you sit on someone, and survive long enough, you can drown them in piss.
09:39
< Soren>
So I guess, technically..
09:39
< Ced23Ric>
Which would also be horrible.
09:39
< MittenNinja>
I've killed a giant crocodile by surviving
09:40
< Ced23Ric>
Did you eat it?
09:40
< MittenNinja>
he tried to eat me and I gave him fatal indigestion
09:40
< Ced23Ric>
Oh.
09:40
< Ced23Ric>
Listen.
09:40
< Ced23Ric>
If you would've had more strength, you would've hit him. Potentiallly critical.
09:41
< Ced23Ric>
And, of course, you rolled human with a Goliath Hammer.
09:41
< MittenNinja>
Soren, are those guys based off the chub?
09:41
< Ced23Ric>
So you can enjoy 1d12 20x4.
09:41
< MittenNinja>
meh, 20x4 is overrated
09:41
< Ced23Ric>
Mittens: Practically, predecessors.
09:41
< Ced23Ric>
Mittens: 20x4 + Blessed = Winsauce.
09:42
< Soren>
Yeah, just filling out the intermediate numbers for the lulz.
09:43
< MittenNinja>
You using a technic 1x3 for the base of the torso? Or is there something fancier going on there?
09:43
< Soren>
There's a technic 1x3?
09:43
< Ced23Ric>
It looks like a 1x1 technic, and two 1x1 normals.
09:43
< Soren>
plus a 1x2 plate behind the technic brick and 1x1 plates on top of the 1x1 bricks.
09:44
< MittenNinja>
Wow, i guess not.
09:44
< MittenNinja>
I swore there was
09:44
< Soren>
to keep him from having a totally giant gut.
09:44
< Soren>
damn. I was hoping there was some new part I hadn't seen yet
09:44
< Ced23Ric>
Noperskates. ;)
09:45
< Ced23Ric>
A 1x3 would have no center hole anyway. D:
09:45
< MittenNinja>
I do want to use these for something though
09:45
< MittenNinja>
http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemPic.asp?P=2991b

I ordered 21 of those.
09:45
< MittenNinja>
bejesus
09:45
< Soren>
they make good missile racks
09:45
< Ced23Ric>
Because they were ... 7 cents a pop.
09:45
< Ced23Ric>
Soren: That's what I thought.
09:46
< Ced23Ric>
Put a jumper on one, slap 2 1x1 rounds on there.
09:46
< Ced23Ric>
Slap another 1x1 round in the other hole, on a 1x1 plate.
09:46
< MittenNinja>

< MittenNinja>
not necessarily that one, but yeah, thats the right game
09:48
< Ced23Ric>
I want to build an entire company with those.
09:48
< Ced23Ric>
Find a 'frame design that makes them look very mechy.
09:48
< Ced23Ric>
And build like 7 of them.
09:48
< Ced23Ric>
Or 8, might aswell.
09:48
< Ced23Ric>
I mean, I have 21 of those things.
09:49
< MittenNinja>
true enough
09:49
< afny>
Is there an ST-01? Did it ever make it out of the hangar?
09:50
< Soren>
I have some ideas.
09:50
< Soren>
Something only sort-of combat-worthy,
09:51
< Ced23Ric>
Well. It has to look more srawny than the Conscript.
09:51
< MittenNinja>
Soren: Oh I remembered what I was going to ask you! Do you know if there are established origins for the Ijad?
09:51
< Soren>
I was thinking open cockpit with Conscript limbs.
09:52
< Soren>
I'm not awake enough to tell you what they are, but yes.
09:52
< MittenNinja>
Home planet, and the like
09:52
< Ced23Ric>
Use round bricks for the legs, it'll make it even dorkier.
09:52
< afny>
open cockpit is a must
09:52
< MittenNinja>
okay cool
09:53
< MittenNinja>
I had a crazy idea for some Ijad history, but it may not work
09:53
< afny>
The lore mentions Celiel as a virgin Ijad planet
09:54
< afny>
Dunno if it's their homeworld though
09:54
< Soren>
Yeah, I have that system all mapped out in my head.
09:54
< Soren>
It is, IIRC.
09:54
< MittenNinja>
How old are the ijad? Older than humans?
09:54
< Soren>
That's a question I don't think we've answered.
09:55
< MittenNinja>
Then my idea might still work :)
09:56
< MittenNinja>
I'll have to flesh it out a bit and see what you guys think
09:56
< Soren>
We're big on wiggle room, so, go nuts.
09:58
< Soren>
Oh, I had some stuff to tell you.
09:58
< MittenNinja>
yeah?
09:59
< Soren>
- put a bayonet mount on the Fat Snake carbine, but I can't find a good blade to stick on there.
09:59
< MittenNinja>
what have you tried?
10:00
< Soren>
I've tried a couple, including the standard minifig diver's knife, which looks okay but not great.
10:00
< Ced23Ric>
What about a SAWYONET? :D
10:00
< MittenNinja>
did you try these? http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemPic.asp?P=94158a
10:00
< Soren>
My collection is relatively light on exotic stabbities
10:00
< Soren>
nope, haven't got any.
10:01
< Soren>
I went ahead and snagged some chrome knives, just to have something on there, but I encourage you to experiment.
10:01
< MittenNinja>
cool man, sounds good.
10:01
< MittenNinja>
I'm sure I can figure something out.
10:02
< Soren>
- the other thing - tan 1x1 clips are stupid expensive, so I'm swapping the ones on the hips out for black, since it's both a little cheaper and ruining them over time would suck.
10:02
< MittenNinja>
for sure
10:03
< MittenNinja>
are they more expensive than sand green headlights?
10:03
< Soren>
no, but they're pretty hard to get in quantity.
10:03
< Soren>
I figured the smart thing to do was just swap them out.
10:04
< MittenNinja>
yeah, i agree
10:05
< MittenNinja>
so, what do you have in mind for the other frames? As in not the fat snakes or snipers? Anything fun?
10:05
< Soren>
Let's see what my magic list says.
10:06
< Soren>
you've got a double HtH guy who's down for a cavalry lance.
10:06
< Soren>
plus a command design that Joshua might have written up badly.
10:07
< MittenNinja>
Yeha, I believe the movement system isnt supposed to be there
10:07
< Soren>
I'm throwing him another yellow, to act as a spotter.
10:08
< Ced23Ric>
Hehe.

not
10:29

at all
10:29
< afny>
I've just had like
10:29
< afny>
crippling sinus headaches/migraines that come and go
10:29
< afny>
for the past four days
10:30
< afny>
like for 6+ hours after I wake up
10:30
< afny>
and then they seem to stop
10:30
< afny>
but this one hasn't stopped yet
10:32
< Ced23Ric>
Blood pressure, aneurisms, toxins, dehydration, sleep deprevation.
10:33
< afny>
fuck I hope it's not an aneurism
10:33
< afny>
it could easily be the rest of them
10:33
< afny>
well hopefully not toxins
10:34
< Ced23Ric>
Alcohol, heavy metals, mercury, nicotine, caffeine ...
10:36
< afny>
it could be caffeine
10:36
< afny>
but I mean
10:36
< afny>
it takes a lot of that
10:36
< afny>
and my environment hasn't changed to introduce heavy metals or mercury

Maybe you just need to drink a bottle of water, pop some aspirin (blood thinner) and sleep.

See, now Dukey is here.
10:59
< Ced23Ric>
Duke, your bet on our PbP?
10:59
< Ced23Ric>
When did you take the aspirin?
11:00
< afny>
like twenty minutes ago
11:00
< afny>
I took acetaminophen as well
11:01
< Ced23Ric>
a.) don't mix painkillers.
11:01
< Ced23Ric>
b.) takes 30 - 45 mins to kick in.
11:03
< afny>
I never ever take painkillers
11:03
< afny>
and the one time I do
11:03
< afny>
I mix them.
11:03
< Ced23Ric>
*throws up hands* :D
11:03
< Ced23Ric>
Tylenol for example doesn't thin your blood, but it goes on your liver.
11:04
< Ced23Ric>
Aspirin thins your blood, but goes easier on the liver.
11:04
< Ced23Ric>
If you mix them, well.
11:04
< afny>
one aspirin and two acetaminophen can't do THAT much damage
11:04
< afny>
I mean they don't react to eachother right
11:04
< Ced23Ric>
Nah.
11:04
< afny>
one's just bad for your liver and one isn't
11:05
< Ced23Ric>
And you should be fine.
11:05
< Ced23Ric>
I usually pop like 1200mg Ibuprofen or 1000mg Tylenol when I need it.
11:05
< Ced23Ric>
Dukayn. Talk to us.
11:05
< afny>
I considered benadryl as well because it might be sinus related
11:05
< afny>
but that would just knock me out
11:06
< Ced23Ric>
If your sinuses are stuffed, clean them out with nose spray. Otrivin, for example, is pretty boss.
11:06
< afny>
is your name DUKAYN because of the dnd episode of Community
11:06
< afny>
because that's all I think of when I see it
11:06
< Ced23Ric>
But also get a moisturizing spray. Saltwater, for example.
11:06
< Ced23Ric>
And don't take it for longer than a week.
11:06
< Ced23Ric>
Epinephrine gets you hooked. ^^

11:22

but oh well

yeah but it's also very wide

I mean I'll still field it but it just seems large.

12:00

The problem is ... well.
12:00
< Dukayn>
Achy? Bah, autocorrect
12:00
< Ced23Ric>
I have way more fight in me than you do and I have only 1 point of initiative less.
12:00
< Ced23Ric>
And while Trilly doesn't have that much initiative, he has a lot of fight in him.
12:00
< Ced23Ric>
I will most likely take care of his arty 'frame.
12:01
< Ced23Ric>
But you are facing a BUNCH.
12:01
< Dukayn>
Yep
12:01
< Dukayn>
Still someone has to lose
12:01
< Dukayn>
LOL
12:01
< Ced23Ric>
I am somewhat sure that he will simply try to steamroll you.
12:02
< Dukayn>
Probably
12:02
< Ced23Ric>
A & B cover C & D. So they are a tough nut to crack.
12:03
< Ced23Ric>
But fire at the ones with 2x B first, because spot always beats Def.
12:03
< Ced23Ric>
Rip those apart, he'll prolly drop Def. If he drops spot, his damage potential goes into the basement.
12:04
< Dukayn>
Hmmm good idea.
12:04
< Ced23Ric>
As soon as you have a spot on those guys, fire SSRs.
12:04
< Ced23Ric>
Don't wait too long or the 'frame carrying the SSR will be toast.
12:05
< Dukayn>
Good thing I go first
12:05
< Ced23Ric>
As soon as A & B lost their spots, your life will be easier. If they drop def, shoot the other 'frames - their 1d8 on DF can put quite a dent into your 'frames.
12:06
< Ced23Ric>
Your main problem is, that you have two arty 'frames in DF Range. And you cannot run away.
12:06
< Ced23Ric>
Although counter intuitive, your best bet with those 'frames is probably melee.
12:07
< Ced23Ric>
Because, he sucks at melee, and so do you. Might aswell level the field. Keep dropping spots, and follow up with your Sparrowhawks.
12:07
< Dukayn>
It'd surprise Reilly that's for sure
12:07
< Dukayn>
Er, trilly
12:07
< Dukayn>
Stupid tablet
12:07
< Ced23Ric>
As soon as you hit a 3 spot or better, SSR them into oblivion.
12:08
< Ced23Ric>
I'll clean up the rear there and then we'll meet.
12:08
< Ced23Ric>
I must say, just from the positions, it's looking good for me.
12:08
< Dukayn>
Yeah
12:09
< Ced23Ric>
Oh, and here's what Soren and I pretty much brainstormed up.
12:09
< Ced23Ric>
There's two company configs that have a certain charme.
12:10
< Ced23Ric>
One is: Soldiers up front, with 2x rArABG, 1x YYBG support.
12:10
< Ced23Ric>
So you have a spotter and hard hitting snipers for double volleys.
12:10
< Ced23Ric>
The other is: Soldiers up front and 3x rAYYB support.
12:11
< Ced23Ric>
So you have spots everywhere, all the time, with cross support from the DF units, and can shell a target with 6d6 instead of 4d6 +2d8.
12:11
< Ced23Ric>
Advantage of the second config is: Which frame do you shoot? You cannot surgically remove a role.
12:11
< Ced23Ric>
Disadvantage: Less damage.
12:11
< Dukayn>
Nice
12:12
< Ced23Ric>
So yeah.
12:12
< Dukayn>
Only by 2 though
12:12
< Ced23Ric>
Well, no.
12:12
< Dukayn>
4 sorry
12:12
< Ced23Ric>
By two times the chance to go 1 or two points higher than the other ever could.
12:12
< Ced23Ric>
That's a huge difference. :D
12:12
< Ced23Ric>
And 4 is all systems of one 'frame.
12:13
< Ced23Ric>
I say, it is acceptable.
12:13
< Dukayn>
Yeah I guess. 6d6 is nothing to laugh in the face of.
12:13
< Ced23Ric>
The rAYYB group has the advantage of impressive endurance.
12:14
< Ced23Ric>
Those things can take hits and still perform. Even stripped of both YY, or the rA, they can still do A job.
12:14
< Ced23Ric>
And the soldier config is golden for the front.
12:14
< Dukayn>
Yeah
12:15
< Ced23Ric>
rD is great anyway. And having one of each system is nice..
12:16
< Ced23Ric>
Especially since you can move nicely THROUGH cover, and your fire range is also your spot range.
12:16
< Ced23Ric>
Def's a given.
12:16
< Dukayn>
Yep
12:16
< Ced23Ric>
I experimented with many 'frames, but the Soldier is pretty damn good.
12:16
< Ced23Ric>
Oh, wait. Sorens Snipers aren't rArABG.
12:16
< Ced23Ric>
They are 1,5 rA 1,5 rD B.
12:17
< Ced23Ric>
So it's 6d6 on both setups.
12:17
< Ced23Ric>
Only my version spreads it on three 'frames, and eschews all rD fire.
12:18
< Dukayn>
Less versatile but more long range damage
12:19
< Ced23Ric>
Well, he commits 1.5 systems to something he cannot use a given term.
12:19
< Ced23Ric>
My rAYYB uses all systems all the time. :D
12:20
< Ced23Ric>
Also, for games, try my Soldier-Light: rDYB. Works like a charm to steal asset value. ;)
12:20
< Ced23Ric>
Has worked 3 times now. :D

Also, a bunch of 2x2 round plates in light grey and black.

Some dishes in various colours.
13:52
< Ced23Ric>
And an endless pit of novelty parts. E.g. a drill, open firm keys, wrenches, binoculars ..
13:56

I want to coin a new term.
13:56
< Ced23Ric>
"Chubgrade".

When I found this place last night, I was like... Woah! A chatroom with all the other MoF0's... I can actually talk to everyone in real time instead of over the forum...!
15:01
< KarolineDianne>
And then I came in here and had a nice chat with Soren. :O
15:01
<~Noah>
I know right! They guy who did that is pretty awesome!
15:03

If I could, I would shake his hand. But since I have both a left and a right hand, I guess I can't.

3mm, and yeah, it makes very little difference

18:37
< Ced23Ric>
How do you attach it?
18:37
< Ced23Ric>
Clips?
18:37
< Soren>
that's one way. You can push it over bars and levers, too, which is usually more flexible
18:38
< Ced23Ric>
Gotcha, okay.
18:46

What.

< KarolineDianne>
I don't even
20:05
< Ced23Ric>
Exactly.
20:06
< Ced23Ric>
THis may be the best video ever.
20:06
< Whitewolf>
WTH xD

20:06

Right...

20:06
< Ced23Ric>
This man is a genius.
20:06
< Ced23Ric>
He took FARMING SIMULATOR.
20:06
< Ced23Ric>
And made it hilarious.
20:07
< Ced23Ric>
2 FAST! 2 FURIOUS!
20:07
< Ced23Ric>
His plow is augmented. *shades*
20:08
< KarolineDianne>
lol
20:08
< Ced23Ric>
Anyway.
20:08
< Ced23Ric>
Let me show you guys something.
20:08
< KarolineDianne>
Another thing?
20:08
< Ced23Ric>
Because it uses hovercraft bumpers.
20:08
< Ced23Ric>
Nah, I ran into a problem.
20:09
< Ced23Ric>
I have no idea what to do about legs.
20:09
< KarolineDianne>
I've actually been looking for a free-to-play mech game... Like maybe an old Mechwarrior game that's now freeware, like how Bethesda made Arena and Daggerfall free recently.
20:09 * KarolineDianne wants to play a mecha game but is rather broke
20:11
< Ced23Ric>
How about Mechwarrior Online? ;)
20:11
< KarolineDianne>
Is that free to play? Or even out?
20:12
< Ced23Ric>
Yes and No.
20:12
< KarolineDianne>
Though, I am rather hesitant to the whole MMO thing.
20:12
< KarolineDianne>
I play alone, always. Other people get in the way. Need of internet = lag. :I
20:12
< Ced23Ric>
Okay, so here goes:

20:12
< Ced23Ric>
I need legs and I am lost.
20:13
< Ced23Ric>
Soren, get of your sleepy behind. It's brain picking time.
20:13
< Ced23Ric>
There's work to be done, experiments to be run.
20:13
< Soren>
I have only one question, first.
20:13
< KarolineDianne>
Ooh, I like it.
20:13
< Soren>
Do you guys like maps?
20:14
< KarolineDianne>
Is he suposed to hover, or are the legs pending?
20:14
< KarolineDianne>
Sure, depends on the map, though.
20:14
< Ced23Ric>
I like maps.
20:14
< Ced23Ric>
And: He has no legs.
20:14
< Soren>
Then you probably want to let me finish these two.
20:14
< Ced23Ric>
Hence: [21:13:01] <Ced23Ric> I need legs and I am lost.
20:14
< Ced23Ric>
Okay then. :D
20:15
< Soren>
That guy is rather dashing, though
20:26
< Ced23Ric>
Thankies.
20:26
< Ced23Ric>
Also, I ordered 100 black taps.
20:26
< Ced23Ric>
And 100 black clips.
20:26
< Ced23Ric>
Because, fuck this lack of parts.
20:30
< KarolineDianne>
lol
20:31
< KarolineDianne>
I ordered 50 taps and 20 claw pieces.
20:31
< KarolineDianne>
Should be here in a day or two
20:31
< Ced23Ric>
My prediction: You will need more claws.
20:34
< KarolineDianne>
Well
20:34
< KarolineDianne>
Just so you know
20:34
< KarolineDianne>
I had 0...
20:34
< Ced23Ric>
And you will need more. :D
20:34
< KarolineDianne>
And I still made my whole company of Morningstar Frames.
20:34
< Ced23Ric>
I believe it.
20:35
< Ced23Ric>
Claws are still awesome sauce.
20:35
< KarolineDianne>
I really only got them because I see them used in other designs all the time.
20:35
< KarolineDianne>
And I'd like a Chub or two to call my own
20:36
< Ced23Ric>
Things no one wants to build: Conscripts and Commissars. :(
20:37
< KarolineDianne>
Those are cool, but I don't have the curvy pieces needed.
20:39
< KarolineDianne>
In other news... Holy crap, these cucumbers from our garden are enormous... Hutching massive! We're gonna try to pickle them ourselves, make some homemade dills... But gods, these are huge.
20:39
< Ced23Ric>
Must resist commentary.
20:39
< Soren>
I think everybody know we have a mental age of about twelve in here, at least where innuendo is concerned.
20:39
< Soren>

20:40
< Ced23Ric>
What he saidl.
20:40

20:41
< KarolineDianne>
...
20:41
< KarolineDianne>
You guys are pervs xD
20:41
< Ced23Ric>
At least we're honest about it.
20:42
< Soren>
No, Cedric is a perv.
20:42
< Soren>
I am to a perv what a fuel-air explosive is to a firecracker.
20:42
< Ced23Ric>
It'S funny because it's true.
20:42
< KarolineDianne>
Wait... So is Cedric the explosive, or are you?
20:42
< Ced23Ric>
I am the firecracker.
20:43
< KarolineDianne>
So Soren is actually Slaanesh?
20:43
< Ced23Ric>
Soren molests inanimate objects before morning coffee.
20:43
< KarolineDianne>
I knew it!
20:43
< Ced23Ric>
Soren helped putting him into existence.
20:43
< Ced23Ric>
He pretty much came up the Encharta Eldaris Noir.
20:43
< Ced23Ric>
Accidentially.
20:43
< KarolineDianne>
Encharta eldaris noir...?
20:43
< Soren>
In other words, you probably want to keep me away from your cucumbers.
20:43
< Ced23Ric>
Or your cucumbers from him when you're around.
20:44
< KarolineDianne>
Oh dear
20:44
< KarolineDianne>
I'm really not sure what to make of that... xD
20:44
< Ced23Ric>
Truth be told, he is an artist.
20:44
< Ced23Ric>
Well, whatever you make of it, it better not be cucumber salad.
20:45
< Ced23Ric>
Unless you care about built-in dressing.
20:45
< Soren>
...yeeeeep, I'm back on IRC.
20:46
< Ced23Ric>
Totally are. :D
20:46
< KarolineDianne>

20:46
< KarolineDianne>
I am not going to make a ranch dressing joke... >.<
20:47
< Ced23Ric>
You just did.
20:47
< KarolineDianne>
@.@;
20:48
< Soren>
MOVING ON.
20:48
< KarolineDianne>
yes...
20:48
< Ced23Ric>
Yay!
20:48
< Ced23Ric>
Okay.
20:48
< Ced23Ric>
So.
20:49
< Ced23Ric>
How are those maps coming along?
20:49
< KarolineDianne>
MF0 starmap?
20:49
< Soren>
system maps, and I'm shooting them off to J for approval

Oh nice, I like the look of it.
20:53
< KarolineDianne>
Especially the simple cell shading on the sun.
20:53 * Soren bows
20:53
< Soren>
yeah that's one of my favorite tricks.
20:55
< Soren>
I don't know if there's room in the printing budget for that to be color in the book, but it will forever be in color on the interbutts.
20:55
< KarolineDianne>
yay interbutt color!
20:56
< Soren>
...For someone who complains about all the pervs, you fit in disturbingly well.
20:56
< Soren>
;)
20:57
< KarolineDianne>
Really? That was pervy?
20:58
< KarolineDianne>
And I never really complained... o3o
20:59
< Soren>
Well, I hear interbutts turn bright pink when you spank them.
20:59

why are those tread-pieces even included when you can?t use them >.<
21:01

I gotta go for a bit. See you guys later.

Just ignore them and only construct the framework.

Any ideas?
21:15
< Soren>
WW: my understanding is that treads in any CAD system are a complete fucking pain.
21:16
< Ced23Ric>
The only thing you can do in LDD is ... attachign them to each other.
21:17
< Ced23Ric>
And bending them.
21:17
< Ced23Ric>
Then, you SHOULD be able to "hover" them over there parts where they are actually going.
21:17
< Ced23Ric>
But you cannot make connections.
21:17
< Whitewolf|LDD>
ok, then without them
21:22
< Whitewolf|LDD>
good news ced
21:22
< Whitewolf|LDD>
the LDD is finished
21:22
< Ced23Ric>
Yah?
21:22
< Ced23Ric>
YAY!
21:23
< Ced23Ric>
I think I also found a solution for legs.

BRICK
23:36
< Noah>
And of course it was after I made a different order that's already being processed, so I can't add anything to it
23:40
< Soren>
mm, you should be able to add to an order right up until you're invoiced
23:42

Checked, and he doesn't have what I need anyway
23:42

*grumble*
23:42

alas
23:43
< Ced23Ric>
What did you get?
23:43
< Ced23Ric>
And what did you want?
23:44
< Noah>
Wanted 3700s, got 32000s
23:44
< Noah>
Specifically ordered so I could make your damn chubs *shake-fist* Damn you
23:46
< Soren>
I wouldn't damn me so quickly.
23:46
< Soren>
How many do you need?
23:46
< Noah>
I intended to make 5 of them, so just five 3700s
23:47
< Soren>
You care what color?
23:48
< Noah>
Yea, my main colors are white and any green, but black would be fine too
23:49
< Soren>
I can do black, if you don't mind that they're pretty used.
23:49
< Noah>
Nah, I don't mind
23:49
< Soren>
okay them
23:49
< Soren>
then*
23:52
< Soren>
Hmm. I'm going to have to get padded mailers, etc. at some point.
23:53
< Noah>
Well, I do appreciate it, just lemme know when you need an address
23:53
< Noah>
Unless said person mails me the correct bricks, but I suspect she might give me a refund instead, which would be pretty pointless
23:54
< Soren>
I can send them off when I send out the custom kits. Shoot me a reminder, I'm going to be really fucking busy.
23:54
< Noah>
What the crap am I going to do with these 32000s though?
23:55
< Soren>
You could always build a Strider.
