| 00:00 | < Ced23Ric> | Mhmm. Let's see how many I need for a 14x5 wall segment, 6 bricks tall. |
| 00:00 | < Ced23Ric> | 51 stones. |
| 00:00 | < Ced23Ric> | So ... with 350 I can build 7 wall segements of that size. |
| 00:01 | < Ced23Ric> | The cheapest 1x2 brick I can get is a 1x2 in orange. |
| 00:02 | < Ced23Ric> | For 0.017 cents. |
| 00:02 | < Ced23Ric> | Well, 0.0255 cents - new. |
| 00:02 | < Ced23Ric> | That'd be ~2000 bricks. |
| 00:02 | < Ced23Ric> | So, 38 elements. |
| 00:03 | < Ced23Ric> | :( |
| 00:03 | < Ced23Ric> | But hey. |
| 00:03 | < Ced23Ric> | I could cheat a little. |
| 00:03 | < Ced23Ric> | And stretch my cash by throwing in regular bricks. |
| 00:04 | < Ced23Ric> | Like, replace the baseline with regular bricks ... and punch some holes in there already ... etc. |
| 00:04 | < Ced23Ric> | I think I can swing like, mhmm, 12 elements of decent size. |
| 00:10 | < Soren> | check his supply of 1x2 plates :D |
| 00:10 | < Soren> | also good. |
| 00:10 | < Ced23Ric> | Bwahahah. |
| 00:10 | < Ced23Ric> | Nah, that's too cheesy. |
| 00:27 | < Soren> | fair enough |
| 00:40 | < Noah> | I'll probably brick up something with my technicolor crap, thenbuy those masonry ones later |
| 00:41 | < Soren> | Yeah, they'll only get cheaper, most likely |
| 00:41 | < Noah> | Is it from a new set? |
| 00:42 | < Soren> | it's from several, IIRC, but definitely new this year. |
| 00:42 | < Noah> | Ahh, well, here's hoping |
| 00:42 | < Noah> | I think your friend Peter, Ced23Ric, might be a trailer pirate. 3400~? How'd he get that many o.O |
| 00:43 | < Soren> | They're pretty conservative about new parts. I'm pretty sure if they introduce it, they mean to use it. |
| 00:43 | < Soren> | German Pick-A-Brick is legendary. |
| 00:43 | < Soren> | German fans are scary. |
| 00:43 | < Soren> | pick your favorite. |
| 00:43 | < Soren> | It could be either. |
| 00:44 | < Soren> | Oh, I forgot to introduce you guys: |
| 00:44 | < Soren> | http://www.bricklink.com/store.asp?p=MAGICBRICKS |
| 00:45 | < Soren> | This guy has a lot of non-production parts and other weirdness. If you need something in a color that doesn't come in a set, 90% of the time, you should just check here first. |
| 00:46 | < Noah> | German again, blah! |
| 00:47 | < Soren> | you know, the shipping really isn't that bad. |
| 00:47 | < Noah> | Ced23Ric: Let's make a vacuum tube from you to Tennessee here |
| 00:48 | < Ced23Ric> | And then? |
| 00:48 | < Ced23Ric> | Actually. |
| 00:48 | < Noah> | You buy me bricks |
| 00:48 | < Ced23Ric> | If you need specific parts. |
| 00:48 | < Ced23Ric> | You can buy them and ship them to me. |
| 00:48 | < Ced23Ric> | And I mail them over. |
| 00:48 | < Ced23Ric> | Like, a padded letter is ~3 bucks or so. |
| 00:48 | < Noah> | I wonder how much it would be to ship to you |
| 00:48 | < Ced23Ric> | Takes a week or two, mind you. |
| 00:49 | < Ced23Ric> | Within Germany, it's usually like ... uhm ... 2 bucks? |
| 00:49 | < Noah> | So from there to you to me |
| 00:49 | < Ced23Ric> | Yupp. |
| 00:49 | <@McMartin> | Bizarre LEGO crime spree in Silicon Valley: http://blog.sfgate.com/crime/2012/05/22/silicon-valley-exec-charged-with-lego-th efts/ |
| 00:49 | < Soren> | I've gotten orders from Western Wurope in an average of under a week, most times. |
| 00:49 | < Noah> | And it would be cheaper maybe? I'm assuming because you'd be marking them gift? :P |
| 00:50 | < Soren> | -W +E |
| 00:50 | < Soren> | well, you could order eight or nine things, then have him ship you all of that as a single package. |
| 00:50 | < Noah> | I ordered a set of rings from Ireland, took like 3 days amazingly |
| 00:50 | < Soren> | Eastern Europe - forget about it. It will take... a while. |
| 00:51 | < Soren> | but Deutschepost kicks all kinds of ass. Even the French guys use it. |
| 00:51 | < Noah> | Largely because I live in the same town as a shipping airport |
| 00:51 | < Ced23Ric> | Well, you guys use DHL, too. |
| 00:52 | < Noah> | DHL? Then it would be my dad picking it up and delivering it, lol |
| 00:58 | < Ced23Ric> | DHL is a Deutsche Post company. |
| 00:58 | < Noah> | http://www.dhl.com/en.html Not these guys? |
| 00:59 | < Ced23Ric> | Since 2002, DHL is part of the Deutsche Post AG. |
| 00:59 | < Ced23Ric> | Yupp, totally those guys. |
| 00:59 | < Ced23Ric> | 100% Deutsche Post company. |
| 01:01 | < Noah> | Then yea, they outsource some shipping here |
| 01:44 | < Ced23Ric> | Night, lads. Laterers. |
| 01:44 | | Ced23Ric [Ced@Nightstar-383876ee.adsl.alicedsl.de] has quit [[NS] Quit: ] |
| 02:02 | < Noah> | Soren: I see you made a Fuchikoma |
| 02:06 | < Soren> | I've made rather a lot of them, over the years. |
| 02:07 | < Noah> | I think I'm going to steal your clear multiple compartment tackle boxes |
| 02:08 | < Noah> | They look useful |
| 02:10 | < Noah> | I thought about using tackle boxes too, but the one I have is huge :\ |
| 02:12 | < Soren> | they're super handy. |
| 02:12 | < Soren> | I'm actually debating replacing them with something sturdier. |
| 02:13 | < Noah> | http://www.basspro.com/Plano-The-Alabama-Rig-Box/product/1204091151/445783 |
| 02:13 | < Noah> | That looks neat |
| 02:13 | < Soren> | mm, yeah. |
| 02:14 | < Soren> | definitely get the majority of your stuff with adjustable dividers. It's a lot easier to shift things around. |
| 02:14 | < Noah> | Yea, I was thinking that same thing |
| 02:21 | < Noah> | Oh hey |
| 02:21 | < Noah> | http://www.basspro.com/MTM-CaseGard&153;-50-Series-Rifle-Ammo-Boxes/product/1017 90/64832 |
| 02:21 | < Noah> | Maybe too small, lol |
| 02:23 | < Soren> | not too small. but definitely too deep. |
| 02:23 | < Soren> | put a 1x1 plate in one of those and try to get it out without unending the whole thing. |
| 02:23 | < Noah> | Might be good for stacked pieces like 1x1 plates, etc |
| 02:23 | < Soren> | up* |
| 02:24 | < Noah> | Kind of inconvenient to have to unstack them though |
| 02:24 | < Soren> | I wouldn't get anything deeper than about an inch, personally. |
| 02:24 | < Soren> | it depends. |
| 02:24 | < Soren> | I find it preferable to tweezers or resorting every time I want a piece. |
| 02:24 | < Noah> | True |
| 02:25 | < Soren> | But it is bullshit, yes, and someday I would like to build a frame so I can slide them in and out like drawers. |
| 02:25 | < Noah> | Yea, I think I will take your advice about adjustable boxes |
| 02:26 | < Noah> | I wonder if I could get extra dividers |
| 02:26 | < Soren> | you can, yeah |
| 02:26 | < Soren> | I've never had to, though. |
| 02:26 | < Soren> | you should also thinking about getting a big plastic drawer unit for tiny bits. |
| 02:27 | < Noah> | Hmm |
| 02:27 | < Noah> | I don't have a huge amount of space unfortunately |
| 02:27 | < Soren> | http://www.sears.com/shc/s/search=39%20drawer%20plastic%20parts%20organizer?stor eId=10153&catalogId=12605&vName=For+the+Home&cName=Storage&viewItems=25&sLevel=1 &autoRedirect=true&redirectType=CAT_REC_PRED like this. |
| 02:28 | < Soren> | for this, you really only need one. |
| 02:28 | < Noah> | I might get one of those when I have more pieces |
| 02:28 | < Soren> | sure. |
| 02:29 | < Soren> | I just find that it makes the whole process go a lot faster and smoother. |
| 02:29 | < Noah> | http://www.basspro.com/Plano-Adjustable-StowAway-Utility-Boxes/product/1557/7783 9 |
| 02:30 | < Noah> | Lots of sizes, cheaper, come with lots of dividers |
| 02:30 | < Soren> | yah, those look pretty good. |
| 02:30 | < Soren> | yeah* |
| 02:30 | < Noah> | Different heights too |
| 02:32 | < Noah> | I'll check my local shop tomorrow, there's one right up the road from me, since I live in fishing area, lol |
| 02:33 | < Noah> | Right now I just have all the pieces in the small ziplock backs that were used to ship them to me, all in a big tuperware tub |
| 02:34 | < Noah> | Very annoying when looking for a part |
| 02:36 | < Noah> | Would order from amazon, but now I have to pay tax there, uhg |
| 02:38 | < Noah> | Well, apparently it's a use tax, and not done on the order necessarily, so might do amazon anyway |
| 02:54 | < Noah> | http://www.amazon.com/Stack-On-DS-30-Drawer-Storage-Cabinet/dp/B002XITY18/ref=sr _1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1337738036&sr=8-1 |
| 02:57 | < Soren> | yeah, that'll do the trick nicely. |
| 02:57 | < Soren> | You're probably not going to have all that much large stuff anyway. |
| 03:29 | < Noah> | God, another slow invoice |
| 03:30 | < Noah> | Dear Guy, I'd like to give you my money, ffs. Love Noah. |
| 03:31 | < Soren> | Yeah, I've got one of those. |
| 03:32 | < Soren> | might have to cancel it and start over with someone reliable, since they're not parts for me |
| 03:32 | < Noah> | Still no email back from the chick who sent me the wrong bits either, blah |
| 03:32 | < Noah> | Blah I say, blah |
| 03:34 | < Noah> | LegoFury and Ricka were pretty fast |
| 03:35 | < Noah> | Dawnie6 took forever and then got a part wrong, so probably going on my least favorite list |
| 04:20 | | Ramcat [NSwebIRC@61024F.E3B47E.389558.847D13] has joined #mf0 |
| 04:20 | < Noah> | Ello Ramcat |
| 04:20 | < Soren> | Oh, hey! |
| 04:20 | < Ramcat> | hi |
| 04:20 | < Ramcat> | Hey! |
| 04:20 | < Soren> | I should probably warn you that I say horrible brain-unsafe things pretty much without thinking. |
| 04:21 | < Ramcat> | np |
| 04:21 | < Noah> | Often. |
| 04:21 | < Noah> | So, idea |
| 04:21 | < Noah> | In Japan, they grow square watermelons |
| 04:21 | < Soren> | Or, sometimes, with considerable thought ending in 'Fuck it, I'm goin- ahead with that one anyway.' |
| 04:21 | < Soren> | I'm not sure which process produces the most appalling conversation. |
| 04:21 | < Noah> | I say I grow a lot of those, and also grow some 8-sided ones and use those for dice |
| 04:22 | < Soren> | I'd be impressed if you could grow dice patterns in the correct sides. |
| 04:23 | < Noah> | Hmm, maybe with divots or holds in the growing box |
| 04:24 | < Noah> | holes* |
| 04:24 | < Ramcat> | Funny but what is the use - they would break when you roll them :{ |
| 04:25 | < Noah> | Maybe I could use those tiny melons |
| 04:25 | < Soren> | Then you'd have watermelon while you played. |
| 04:25 | < Soren> | I'm not seeing the problem. |
| 04:25 | < Ramcat> | So Soren, got a sneak peak about space battles? |
| 04:25 | < Soren> | I've got a lot of sneak peeks, but no, nothing substantial. |
| 04:26 | < Soren> | https://www.dropbox.com/s/d6m9bu021q8wni0/ST-05D%20A.JPG https://www.dropbox.com/s/z99yhrdzgn5uvsn/ST-06H%20A.JPG https://www.dropbox.com/s/9zks2t8b5z9a91r/I-ST-02F%20Stink%20Eye.JPG Instead, let me distract you with some earlier models and variants. |
| 04:26 | < Ramcat> | How many bricks per average sized capital ship? |
| 04:26 | < Soren> | You know, I never count. |
| 04:27 | < Ramcat> | Stink Eye IS COOL |
| 04:27 | < Soren> | Yeah, I'm really proud of that ball turret design. |
| 04:28 | < Soren> | https://secure.flickr.com/photos/bricklovinfreakboy/2675695804 I think we're going to end up at this size or a little larger, so, my best guess is 40-80 pieces depending on which pieces |
| 04:28 | < Ramcat> | Love both the chub varients |
| 04:28 | < Ramcat> | The three barrel gun is Great! |
| 04:28 | | ferrelferret [ferrelferre@Nightstar-30921e32.fios.verizon.net] has joined #mf0 |
| 04:29 | < ferrelferret> | Yo |
| 04:29 | < Ramcat> | Hey |
| 04:29 | < Soren> | https://www.dropbox.com/s/56f26trkbo800rw/Ball%20Turret.JPG ah, here the fucker is. |
| 04:29 | < Noah> | Heya |
| 04:30 | < Noah> | Soren |
| 04:30 | < Noah> | Is there a game associated with your spaceship mocs? |
| 04:30 | < Soren> | FINALLY. |
| 04:31 | < Soren> | it's taken.... what, four or five years for someone to ask that. |
| 04:31 | < Noah> | You're welcome...I think? |
| 04:32 | < Soren> | It's exasperation at other humans, not you. |
| 04:33 | < Soren> | There are about three or four half-games waiting for me to assemble them into something interesting. |
| 04:34 | < Soren> | https://secure.flickr.com/photos/bricklovinfreakboy/4483706016/ Plus this map and a folder full of notes and reference material. |
| 04:34 | < Ramcat> | We can't wait |
| 04:35 | < Noah> | Heh, I saw the ships earlier, and I was already forming rules in my head that was something between MF0 and EVE |
| 04:35 | < Soren> | think back to Escape Velocity. |
| 04:35 | < Noah> | Didn't play it |
| 04:35 | < Soren> | Which this almost, a couple years ago, got shoehorned into. |
| 04:36 | < Ramcat> | http://www.flickr.com/photos/bricklovinfreakboy/4351464614/in/photostream/ Those rock |
| 04:37 | < Soren> | thanks! I still have the flagship hanging around. |
| 04:38 | <@McMartin> | I see "Escape Velocity" and think "Star Control" |
| 04:38 | < Soren> | Oh, I loved Star Control, too. But EV was more moddable. |
| 04:39 | < Soren> | Wait. |
| 04:39 | < Soren> | That's clearly not what I'm supposed to say here. |
| 04:39 | < Soren> | Duh. |
| 04:39 | < Soren> | It is *squishy* to *smell* you too, *happy camper*! |
| 04:40 | <@McMartin> | SUMMARY: The sooner you get that thing off this starbase, the less likely it is that the thing will get loose and kill us all. |
| 04:41 | < Soren> | Star Control is, I think, the reason I love really fucking bizarre aliens. |
| 04:41 | < Soren> | I hope I can create something as weird and memorable as the Zoq-Fot-Pik. |
| 04:42 | < Noah> | I vaguely remember that game |
| 04:42 | < Soren> | http://wiki.uqm.stack.nl/Zoq-Fot-Pik these little guys. |
| 04:42 | < Soren> | they're... I dunno, I can't talk rationally about them. They were the funniest thing ever when I was 12. |
| 04:44 | < Soren> | There's something subtly brilliant about delivering exposition through an ongoing argument between tiny alien frogs. |
| 04:44 | <@McMartin> | I do believe we are about the same age. |
| 04:44 | < Soren> | october 1985, here. |
| 04:45 | <@McMartin> | ("Ah! Cultural exchange. A good idea." "Yeah! Let's tell him about Frungy!") |
| 04:45 | <@McMartin> | June '78 - I was 14 when it came out. |
| 04:45 | < Soren> | I lobbied for Human Contact to include the rules to Frungy. |
| 04:45 | <@McMartin> | You can't go around defining Frungy |
| 04:45 | < Soren> | I discovered it a little later. |
| 04:45 | < Soren> | I forget how drunk i was at the time, actually. |
| 04:46 | < Soren> | But it was a lot like Calvinball, with lasers. |
| 04:46 | <@McMartin> | Heh |
| 04:47 | < Noah> | I'm.... OLDER than McMartin ?! |
| 04:47 | <@McMartin> | Perhaps so |
| 04:47 | <@McMartin> | Also, Star Control is free these days |
| 04:47 | < Noah> | Oh wait |
| 04:47 | < Noah> | No, I'm older than Soren |
| 04:47 | < Noah> | My eyes got crossed, haha |
| 04:47 | < Soren> | Yeah, I have a copy, but the magic wasn't there. Maybe I wasn't bored enough |
| 04:48 | <@McMartin> | You'll probably want to hit the "Mimic PC" settings too |
| 04:49 | <@McMartin> | If you didn't have 3DO nostalgia the only thing it added that the grognards like is the giant lander window |
| 04:49 | < Soren> | heh |
| 04:49 | < Soren> | I'm generally anti-grognard. |
| 04:49 | <@McMartin> | GROG FOR THE GROGNARDS |
| 04:49 | < Soren> | grognarderi? is not my favorite curing process. |
| 04:51 | < Ramcat> | http://www.flickr.com/photos/spook0114/2674597489/in/set-72157625314479751 These seem to be about the same scale as yours.... |
| 04:51 | < Ramcat> | Nice color |
| 04:52 | < Ramcat> | Reminds me of battle fleet gothic |
| 04:52 | < Soren> | Yeah, I personally prefer a large scale, but this is about the largest that would be workable. |

| 09:21 | < Ced23Ric> | With ammo all over the place. |
| 09:22 | < Ced23Ric> | Why not grab an AC10, double up on medium lasers, add more armor and case the ammo? |
| 09:22 | < Ced23Ric> | Noob! |
| 09:42 | < afny> | I don't know anything about mechwarrior builds |
| 09:43 | < Ced23Ric> | Aww. |
| 09:43 | < Ced23Ric> | Well. |
| 09:43 | < Ced23Ric> | He basically took out the shotgun. |
| 09:43 | < Ced23Ric> | And put in a 9mm. |
| 09:43 | < Ced23Ric> | Then he took out the shotgun shells, added three clips of 9mm and two throwing knifex. |
| 09:43 | < Ced23Ric> | *knives |
| 09:43 | < Ced23Ric> | And then, instead of putting the 9mm shells into an armored container, he taped them to his chest. |
| 09:44 | < Ced23Ric> | So his whole stick about destroying everything is bulcrap. :D |
| 09:46 | < afny> | He sounds like a DUMB |
| 09:46 | < afny> | I didn't listen to him at all |
| 09:47 | < afny> | I was hoping he'd scroll through a few mechs |
| 09:47 | < afny> | I don't know I played some of 3 and 4, they alright |
| 09:48 | < afny> | and I played Mercenaries |
| 10:02 | < afny> | what 's the difference between "Black Slope 30 1 x 1 x 2/3 " |
| 10:02 | < afny> | and "Black Slope 30 1 x 1 x 2/3 A1" |
| 10:02 | < afny> | the first is new, but only 5 cents, and the second is used at 8 cents. |
| 10:02 | < afny> | Is A1 a collectors rating or something? |
| 10:13 | < Ced23Ric> | I ... don't know? |
| 10:13 | < Ced23Ric> | Maybe it's the AWESOME rating. |
| 10:13 | < Ced23Ric> | "This is AWESOME! +3 cents!" |
| 10:14 | < afny> | I HAVE TOO MUCH AWESOME ALREADY |
| 10:16 | < Ced23Ric> | My goal these days: Build 2 more 'Chubs and finish these 4 Old Couatls. |
| 10:16 | < Ced23Ric> | Then I have 8 'frames for the SU. |
| 10:17 | < Ced23Ric> | And then I need to start on the crossbows. |
| 10:17 | < Ced23Ric> | I'll build two for now. |
| 10:17 | < Ced23Ric> | At least I want to. :D |
| 10:17 | < afny> | my goal is to finish my bricklinks order before my computer randomly powers down, clearing all my carts |
| 10:17 | < Ced23Ric> | Pending how that goes, there's some more Ijad 'frames I need. |
| 10:17 | < Ced23Ric> | Like ... 2 more. |
| 10:17 | < afny> | I'm making a physical list right now because I know that goal is unatainable |
| 10:17 | < afny> | what are you doing for your Ijad frames |
| 10:18 | < afny> | so far all of my Ijads are Ijad-Humans, so they use humanoid frames |
| 10:18 | < Ced23Ric> | Probably my own designs, the VMX experimental 'frames in White/Black & Blue. |
| 10:18 | < Ced23Ric> | No monkey bots. :D |
| 10:19 | < afny> | my setting is very small scale so the Ijad are pretty integrated regardless of host species |
| 10:20 | < afny> | I want at least one scrambler though |
| 10:22 | < Ced23Ric> | Meh, I'm good. |
| 10:22 | < Ced23Ric> | I'll build another Grand Naga, those CHubs and have 10 SU 'frames. |
| 10:22 | < Ced23Ric> | Or 5 & 5. |
| 10:22 | < Ced23Ric> | Then I have the 4 Conscripts. Gonna build one Commissar, so I have 5 of those aswell. |
| 10:23 | < afny> | the police chief? |
| 10:23 | < Ced23Ric> | The Brotherhood needs two more 'frames, and I'll have 5 & 5 for the FC aswell. |
| 10:23 | < Ced23Ric> | The Ijads have 5 VMC 'frames, so I need 5 Ijad 'frames. |
| 10:23 | < Ced23Ric> | Then I have 6x 5 or 3x 10 'frames. |
| 10:23 | < Ced23Ric> | Sounds like I can demo stuff. |
| 10:23 | < Ced23Ric> | Next up: Terrain. :D |
| 10:24 | < afny> | I want to get a demo setup going as well but I think I can just use |
| 10:24 | < afny> | chubs vs nimrods |
| 10:24 | < afny> | I mean, it wouldn't be official factions or anything |
| 10:25 | < afny> | There aren't any official wargaming places around here anyway so I don't need to aim for top notch professionalism |
| 10:32 | < afny> | what do you use to flag stations? |
| 10:32 | < afny> | I was going to use those actual flag bits but they look a little weird |
| 10:32 | < Ced23Ric> | Heh. |
| 10:33 | < Ced23Ric> | I wanna make little station thingeys. |
| 10:33 | < Ced23Ric> | And just have flags, the clippey ones. |
| 10:33 | < afny> | like the flat ones? |
| 10:33 | < Ced23Ric> | Yeah. |
| 10:33 | < afny> | I have a bunch of skull and crossbones flags |
| 10:33 | < Ced23Ric> | You know what, lemme throw up an LDD sketch.- |
| 10:33 | < afny> | not sure if I have enough for a multiplayer battle though |
| 10:37 | < Ced23Ric> | Well, you need 3 flags per colour. |
| 10:37 | < Ced23Ric> | And ideally, 4 colours. |
| 10:37 | < Ced23Ric> | So 12 flags will do. |
| 10:37 | < afny> | I just meant for me |
| 10:38 | < afny> | and of the pirate flag |
| 10:38 | < afny> | for a demo I'd use something more innocuous |
| 10:38 | < afny> | you need more than three flags per color though |
| 10:38 | < Ced23Ric> | Oh, yeah. |
| 10:38 | < Ced23Ric> | For when you tag more stations, eh? |
| 10:38 | < afny> | for a three player battle you need 6 |
| 10:38 | < Ced23Ric> | Mhmm. |
| 10:38 | < Ced23Ric> | Yeah. |
| 10:39 | < afny> | 8 is the most youd need, for a 4 player battle |
| 10:39 | < afny> | that's why for a demo I think it'd be best to go with something simple |
| 10:39 | < afny> | like 1x1 round plates |
| 10:40 | < afny> | just order 10 of them in five colors or something |
| 10:42 | < afny> | I'm at about 45 dollars |
| 10:42 | < afny> | trimmed out all the color pieces |
| 10:42 | < afny> | and the mushrooms :_: |
| 10:43 | < afny> | novelty stuff like that will have to wait until I see if I can get any money for minifig pieces |
| 10:45 | < Ced23Ric> | I got an idea. |
| 10:45 | < Ced23Ric> | Build 8 stations. |
| 10:45 | < afny> | for the station thing? |
| 10:45 | < Ced23Ric> | Yeah. |
| 10:46 | < Ced23Ric> | And just have trims. |
| 10:46 | < afny> | what |
| 10:46 | < Ced23Ric> | I threw up one right now. |
| 10:46 | < afny> | DO YOU MEEEEAN |
| 10:46 | < Ced23Ric> | And it uses three colored pieces. |
| 10:46 | < Ced23Ric> | a 1x4 tile, a 1x4 plate and a flag. |
| 10:46 | < afny> | ah, like colored tiles |
| 10:46 | < afny> | yeah, so it just switches color scheme |
| 10:46 | < Ced23Ric> | And the rest is grey. |
| 10:46 | < Ced23Ric> | Yupp. |
| 10:46 | < Ced23Ric> | 3 is fast enough. |
| 10:46 | < afny> | yeah, that's more or less what I was thinking with the 1x1 round plate idea |
| 10:46 | < Ced23Ric> | So all you need are 8 stations. |
| 10:46 | < afny> | except mine was much less visually striking |
| 10:46 | < afny> | and much, much more lazy. |
| 10:47 | < Ced23Ric> | Well, mine looks good, okay? |
| 10:47 | < Ced23Ric> | So shush it! |
| 10:47 | < afny> | yeah I can imagine |
| 10:47 | < Ced23Ric> | Sec, lemme take a screenie. |
| 10:47 | < afny> | I really hope that catches on as a community standard |
| 10:47 | < Ced23Ric> | It's also 8 bricks tall with only a few parts used. |
| 10:48 | < afny> | then again what if two players both brought the same color tiles... |
| 10:48 | < Ced23Ric> | http://www.ced23ric.de/stuff/mf0/station.png |
| 10:48 | < afny> | whoa, looks good |
| 10:48 | < Ced23Ric> | Nah, I'll bring the sets. |
| 10:49 | < afny> | I meant if it caught on |
| 10:49 | < Ced23Ric> | Oh, okay. |
| 10:49 | < Ced23Ric> | BECAUSE PETERS TOTALLY HAS TO HAVE HIS FUCKING PINK STATIONS. |
| 10:49 | < Ced23Ric> | :D |
| 10:49 | < afny> | yeah thats exactly what I was thinking haha |
| 10:49 | < afny> | like I show up with a bunch of pink tiles in various sizes |
| 10:49 | < afny> | and somebody across the table just squints at me |
| 10:49 | < afny> | and his hand tightens around his pink tiles |
| 10:49 | < Ced23Ric> | " ... so we meet, finally." |
| 10:50 | < Ced23Ric> | *crushes a Conscript in his BARE HANDS* |
| 10:50 | < afny> | and war was beginning |
| 10:50 | < Ced23Ric> | D: |
| 10:50 | < Ced23Ric> | Oh yeah. |
| 10:50 | < Ced23Ric> | This is rather uncool, my two local stores only have white and blue flags. |
| 10:51 | < Ced23Ric> | Hah! |
| 10:51 | < Ced23Ric> | THis guy has green, blue, white and yellow. |
| 10:52 | < Ced23Ric> | But noth enough. |
| 10:52 | < Ced23Ric> | Eff that guy! |
| 10:53 | < afny> | just don't use flags |
| 10:53 | < afny> | just use the plates |
| 10:53 | < afny> | I think it would look better anyway, especially if any of your stations end up being really horizontal |
| 10:53 | < Ced23Ric> | But I like the flags. :D |
| 10:53 | < afny> | bah |
| 10:54 | < afny> | I'm making an old-timey frame chassis right now |
| 10:54 | < Ced23Ric> | http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemPic.asp?P=2335p44 |
| 10:54 | < Ced23Ric> | Uuuuuh. |
| 10:54 | < afny> | a model-t chub |
| 10:54 | < afny> | if you will |
| 10:55 | < afny> | WOLFPACK |
| 11:08 | < Ced23Ric> | Mhmm. |
| 11:08 | < Ced23Ric> | Sure 8 stations is enough? |
| 11:08 | < Ced23Ric> | 4 players bring 2 each. |
| 11:08 | < Ced23Ric> | 3 players bring two each aswell? |
| 11:08 | < Ced23Ric> | Not 3 |
| 11:08 | < Ced23Ric> | +? |
| 11:09 | < afny> | uhh |
| 11:09 | < afny> | let me look |
| 11:10 | < afny> | yeah, 3 players; your company must have 2 stations |
| 11:10 | < afny> | 4 players; your company musth ave four stations |
| 11:10 | < afny> | er |
| 11:10 | < afny> | 2 |
| 11:10 | < afny> | that's what I get for typing and reading at the same time |
| 11:16 | < Ced23Ric> | Kkk. |
| 11:18 | < afny> | are you prepared for this chub |
| 11:18 | < afny> | the answer is NO |

| 11:21 | < afny> | http://www.flickr.com/photos/kyanosmoros/7254805946/in/photostream/ |
| 11:23 | < Ced23Ric> | Dafuq. |
| 11:24 | < afny> | if you notice |
| 11:24 | < afny> | the cape unfurls from those black things |
| 11:24 | < afny> | like a model t convertible. |
| 11:30 | < Ced23Ric> | Dude, fuck. |
| 11:30 | < Ced23Ric> | Buying parts is like waxing. |
| 11:30 | < Ced23Ric> | Only you are an Italian. |
| 11:30 | < Ced23Ric> | And you do it yourself. |
| 11:30 | < afny> | what an apt analogy |
| 11:30 | < Ced23Ric> | And the wax is actually acid. |
| 11:31 | < Ced23Ric> | I had the perfect cart. |
| 11:31 | < Ced23Ric> | Wanted to order. |
| 11:31 | < Ced23Ric> | TROLOLOLOLOLOLO 50 EUROS MINIMUM U MAD BRO?! |
| 11:31 | < Ced23Ric> | I mad. I deffo mad. |
| 11:31 | < afny> | I'm sooo afraid I'm going to lose my carts...I have carts at four stores right now and my computer is notorious for just randomly powering off |
| 11:31 | < afny> | you know stores list their min buy in the details usually right |
| 11:31 | < Ced23Ric> | Shuddup. :D |
| 11:36 | < Ced23Ric> | I dun wanna go to work. :( |
| 11:36 | < afny> | your job sounds pretty CUSH |
| 11:36 | < Ced23Ric> | Dude, it totally is. |
| 11:37 | < Ced23Ric> | I am crying on high standards here. |
| 11:37 | < Ced23Ric> | It's just so fucking warm out. |
| 11:39 | < Ced23Ric> | Alright, I am Oscar-Mike, be back in an hour, ish. |
| 11:40 | | Ced23Ric is now known as Ced|OscarMike |
| 11:48 | | Ced|OscarMike [Ced@Nightstar-bf0eb8f5.adsl.alicedsl.de] has quit [Ping timeout: 121 seconds] |
| 12:31 | | Ced|OscarMike [Ced@Nightstar-72fada86.dip.t-dialin.net] has joined #mf0 |
| 12:31 | | Ced|OscarMike is now known as Cedric |
| 12:31 | < Cedric> | Yeah. |
| 12:32 | < afny> | You survived |
| 12:32 | < Cedric> | Yipp. |
| 12:32 | < Cedric> | Despite the temperatures. |
| 12:33 | < afny> | I am nearly |
| 12:33 | < afny> | ready to order |
| 12:33 | < Cedric> | Even helped two Japanese girls that were lost in the middle of Berlin! |
| 12:33 | < afny> | my briiicks |
| 12:33 | < Cedric> | Baha. |
| 12:33 | < afny> | nice |
| 12:34 | < Cedric> | Built an office building in the train to work. |
| 12:34 | < Cedric> | Also, still wondering how to do station markers. |
| 12:34 | < Cedric> | I need to find a store that has all parts. Or at least, most. |
| 12:35 | < afny> | I need to find those clear stand thingies |
| 12:35 | < afny> | what are they called? |
| 12:37 | < Cedric> | Uhm. |
| 12:37 | < afny> | hm it doesnt matter anyway |
| 12:37 | < afny> | I searched the four stores I'm ordering from |
| 12:37 | < afny> | and none of them have it under "trans" |
| 12:37 | < afny> | I really wanted to build those 0g chubs |
| 12:37 | < afny> | I'm not sure what the name for the part I want to use for the retrothrusters is either though |
| 12:38 | < afny> | it's like a 1x2 plate with three outward-tapering cones |
| 12:38 | < afny> | on one end |
| 12:38 | < afny> | I want to use four of them extending at four angles off the shoulder mounts |
| 12:38 | < afny> | or maybe just two |
| 12:39 | < afny> | OH |
| 12:39 | < afny> | those little T pieces |
| 12:39 | < afny> | what are they called? |
| 12:39 | < afny> | I don't have any of those |
| 12:41 | < Cedric> | Pneumatic. |
| 12:41 | < afny> | yus |
| 12:44 | < afny> | hm |
| 12:44 | < afny> | I'm not actually sure if I'll use many of those |
| 12:44 | < afny> | i'll get like 30 |
| 12:46 | < afny> | vincent just destroyed us in that thread |
| 12:48 | < Cedric> | Where what why? |
| 12:49 | < afny> | apparently you can just forgo your attack after you've declared a target and rolled your dice |
| 12:49 | < afny> | not activating the enemy frame |
| 12:49 | < afny> | he made us all LOOK THE FOOL |
| 12:50 | < Cedric> | Goddamnit. |
| 12:51 | < Cedric> | GOOD GOD SWEET BABY JESUS. |
| 12:51 | < Cedric> | Why can't ONE store have the parts I need for 8 blank stations and 4 colour sets? |
| 12:52 | < afny> | welcome to my world |
| 12:53 | < afny> | no store has anything substantial I need |
| 12:53 | < afny> | AND blue 1x1 tiles. |
| 12:54 | < Cedric> | It's horrible! |
| 12:55 | < afny> | are you kidding me |
| 12:55 | < afny> | none of my stores have Light Bluish Gray Brick 1 x 1 |
| 12:57 | < Cedric> | ... I just saw motors. |
| 12:58 | < Cedric> | And put ten into my cart. |
| 12:58 | < Cedric> | Out of reflex. |
| 13:09 | < afny> | aw yis |
| 13:09 | < afny> | fresh bread out of the oven |
| 13:11 | < Cedric> | So hungry. |
| 13:17 | < afny> | alright |
| 13:17 | < afny> | I have way too much stuff |
| 13:17 | < afny> | in my carts |
| 13:17 | < afny> | but I need to make sure I have at least some of all the bricks I need |
| 13:17 | < afny> | before I adjust quantities |
| 13:17 | < afny> | hurgh |
| 13:18 | < afny> | by the way, these are what I want to make 0g movement systems out of |
| 13:18 | < afny> | http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemPic.asp?P=3963&viewType=s |
| 13:23 | < Cedric> | Speakers. :D |
| 13:23 | < afny> | configured like this |
| 13:23 | < afny> | http://www.hobbygen.com/bmz_cache/9/932c36e64ca8a6ab72bca37e45ef1ba8.image.337x4 50.jpg |
| 13:26 | < afny> | 90 claws |
| 13:26 | < afny> | too much? |
| 13:27 | < Cedric> | Just about right. |
| 13:27 | < Cedric> | I have like 150 |
| 13:27 | < Cedric> | Spread over three colours. |
| 13:27 | < afny> | i'm only buying black |
| 13:28 | < afny> | Do you have any of the ones that are |
| 13:28 | < afny> | "Cut edges and Hole on One Side" |
| 13:28 | < afny> | they're a bit cheaper |
| 13:28 | < afny> | does the hole make them weaker or anything? |
| 13:28 | < Cedric> | Nope. |
| 13:28 | < Cedric> | Just looks odd. But you can hide that no problem. |
| 13:29 | < afny> | I guess I'll do 40 of each black and dark blay |
| 13:29 | < afny> | with holes |
| 13:29 | < afny> | to save a little |
| 13:29 | < afny> | none of these stores have a good source of 2 x 2 slopes |
| 13:29 | < afny> | like for chub chests |
| 13:31 | < Cedric> | The curved ones? |
| 13:32 | < afny> | yeah |
| 13:32 | < afny> | or any ones really |
| 13:32 | < afny> | even the ones with two studs |
| 13:32 | < afny> | unless those aren't called slopes |
| 13:33 | < Cedric> | They are. |
| 13:33 | < afny> | hm |
| 13:33 | < afny> | damn |
| 13:33 | < afny> | the only one the stores have a lot of is black |
| 13:34 | < Cedric> | Oh. |
| 13:34 | < Cedric> | Wait. |
| 13:34 | < Cedric> | The ones with studs are brick, modified. |
| 13:36 | < afny> | still none |
| 13:37 | < Cedric> | Okay. |
| 13:37 | < Cedric> | I did it. |
| 13:37 | < afny> | got your flags? |
| 13:38 | < Cedric> | 6 Stations, 4 sets of 6 color trims. |
| 13:38 | < Cedric> | *8 stations |
| 13:38 | < Cedric> | I pulled it off. |
| 13:38 | < Cedric> | I feel so accomplished right now. |
| 13:38 | < Cedric> | By the way: less than 20 bucks. |
| 13:38 | < afny> | nice |
| 13:38 | < afny> | I'm not buying anything for my stations |
| 13:39 | < Cedric> | WHAT. WHY. |
| 13:39 | < afny> | well not in this order |
| 13:39 | < afny> | I mean I have a bunch of bricks still |
| 13:39 | < Cedric> | My goal is to have 10 'frames per faction. |
| 13:39 | < afny> | that work for larger stuff |
| 13:39 | < Cedric> | With a 5/5 split between subfactions. |
| 13:39 | < Cedric> | The 8 stations are done. |
| 13:39 | < afny> | I guess I'm building like |
| 13:40 | < afny> | three companies |
| 13:40 | < afny> | my catch-all mercenary company |
| 13:40 | < afny> | a 5 frame FC cell |
| 13:40 | < afny> | and a UMFL squad of indeterminate size |
| 13:40 | < Cedric> | Next up: 5 Ijad 'Frames, adding two more Chubs, building a 'Naga, 2 more Brotherhood 'Frames and 1 Commissar. |
| 13:40 | < afny> | but my stations are all just going to be genric |
| 13:40 | < Cedric> | So, yeah. I am looking at what? 11 more 'frames. |
| 13:41 | < Cedric> | Maybe I trim off 2 of each faction so they cap at 8. Can't field more anyway. |
| 13:41 | < Cedric> | That'll make it 3 Ijad, no Chubs, 1 bro. |
| 13:42 | < Cedric> | ... but I need 4 Chubs. :D |
| 13:43 | < afny> | do you know what the name for the black 1 x 2 plate with the two rings on it |
| 13:43 | < afny> | http://nobsjustabs.files.wordpress.com/2011/11/conscript-breakdown-02.jpg |
| 13:43 | < afny> | in the back of the conscript |
| 13:43 | < afny> | is? |
| 13:43 | < afny> | I can't find it under plate, modified |
| 13:45 | < afny> | how often do you use those pneumatic t joints |
| 13:46 | < afny> | I can see using them in some larger frame's legs |
| 13:46 | < afny> | think 20 will be enough? |
| 13:46 | < afny> | they're kinda pricey |
| 13:47 | < Noah> | Ced uses 10 of them in every frame |
| 13:48 | < Noah> | Because it's CWAZEH! |
| 13:48 | < afny> | MADNESS |
| 13:48 | < Cedric> | I use 6 in the Couatl. |
| 13:48 | < Cedric> | Usully, I don't go above 4. |
| 13:48 | < Cedric> | 2 most of the time is all I need. |
| 13:49 | < Cedric> | And the back plate ... lemme check. I can find that. |
| 13:49 | < Noah> | Madness? |
| 13:49 | < Noah> | THIS. |
| 13:49 | < Noah> | IT |
| 13:49 | < Noah> | IS* |
| 13:50 | < Noah> | AN OVERUSED JOKE! |

| 13:50 | < Noah> | *punt* |
| 13:50 | < Cedric> | There it is. |
| 13:50 | < Cedric> | Plate, modified. |
| 13:50 | < afny> | oh |
| 13:50 | < afny> | weird |
| 13:50 | < afny> | 1x4 |
| 13:51 | < Cedric> | BRB |
| 13:58 | < afny> | damnit |
| 13:58 | < afny> | I try to make the price go down |
| 13:58 | < afny> | AND I JUST MAKE IT GO UP. |

| 14:02 | | Ced|OscarMike is now known as Ceddo |
| 14:02 | < afny> | I'm to the acid portion |
| 14:02 | < afny> | of the waxing |
| 14:04 | < Ceddo> | I know. It's horrible. It hurts so bad. |

| 14:05 | < afny> | hm |
| 14:07 | < afny> | fffff |
| 14:07 | < afny> | 65 dollars |
| 14:07 | < Ceddo> | Bwahahaha. |
| 14:10 | < afny> | really I just want like |
| 14:10 | < Ceddo> | Mhmm. I'll grab some bricks and I should be good for cover and stations. |
| 14:10 | < afny> | a varied set of bricks |
| 14:10 | < afny> | to let me build one or two of ANYTHING |
| 14:11 | < afny> | and once I have some sick designs |
| 14:11 | < afny> | then I'll lay down some real money on sweet companies |
| 14:11 | < Ceddo> | Stick with it and duplicate? |
| 14:11 | < afny> | for now I have plenty to play with |
| 14:11 | < Ceddo> | See, hence I built the Old Couatl. |
| 14:11 | < afny> | I mean I have like 15 frames and a bunch of systems that look from passable to cool |
| 14:11 | < Ceddo> | And the Gadian. |
| 14:11 | < Ceddo> | And my modified conscripts. |
| 14:11 | < afny> | but I want stuff that looks GREAT, and I hate lego CAD |
| 14:11 | < afny> | so I need stuff to sketch with |
| 14:11 | < Ceddo> | LDD is easy-peasy. |
| 14:11 | < afny> | it's easy, sure |
| 14:11 | < afny> | but it's not fun at all |
| 14:11 | < afny> | and it doesn't inspire creativity in me |
| 14:12 | < Ceddo> | It's metric shit tons of fun. :D |
| 14:12 | < afny> | I think with my hands |
| 14:12 | < afny> | hey |
| 14:12 | < afny> | do you know what the piece is that soren sometimes uses for like |
| 14:12 | < afny> | grenades being fired |
| 14:13 | < afny> | like that sort of flower looking thing |
| 14:13 | < afny> | I have ONE of the 2x2 variant, but I need a white 1x1 |
| 14:13 | < Ceddo> | brick, round, modified. |
| 14:16 | < afny> | I ALMOST FORGOT |
| 14:16 | < afny> | peaches |
| 14:18 | < afny> | is there a difference between |
| 14:18 | < afny> | Thin U Clip |
| 14:18 | < afny> | and Thick Open O Clip |
| 14:18 | < afny> | for vertical clips? |
| 14:20 | < Noah> | Oh GOOD, my order's finally ready |
| 14:20 | < Noah> | Not like they'll ship it today, even if they sent my invoice in a reasonable time |
| 14:21 | < Noah> | Oh hey, invoice in my inbox, but not on the site, weird. |
| 14:30 | < Ceddo> | Heh. |
| 14:30 | < Ceddo> | This is odd. |
| 14:30 | < Ceddo> | I called 4 gaming stores in Berlin. |
| 14:30 | < Ceddo> | First store: "Yeah, just come on over on mondays." |
| 14:30 | < Ceddo> | Second store: "Mhmm, that sounds WICKED! Send us an email with details, and we'll get you sorted out." |
| 14:30 | < Ceddo> | Third store: "Don't care. Bye." |
| 14:31 | < Ceddo> | Fourth store no one picked up. :( |
| 14:31 | < Noah> | About what? |
| 14:31 | < Ceddo> | Demoing MFZ. |
| 14:31 | < Noah> | Ah |
| 14:31 | < Ceddo> | I'll hit the one store next Monday, given that my stations arrived and I grabbed parts for cover on Saturday. |
| 14:32 | < Ceddo> | And I'll email the guys at the other stores with details and pictures. |
| 14:32 | < afny> | even the third asshole store? |
| 14:32 | < Ceddo> | No, fuck those guys. |
| 14:32 | < afny> | they sell assholes anyway I mean |
| 14:32 | < afny> | come on. |
| 14:32 | < Ceddo> | Yeah. |
| 14:33 | < Ceddo> | They sell mostly books, though. |
| 14:33 | < Ceddo> | And play MtG. |
| 14:33 | < afny> | URGH |
| 14:33 | < afny> | down to 61 |
| 14:33 | < afny> | only FOUR DOLLARS DOWN?! |
| 14:34 | < Ceddo> | HAR. |
| 14:34 | < afny> | maybe I need to take the Travis down |
| 14:35 | < Noah> | How much per Travis? |
| 14:35 | < afny> | 32 cents |
| 14:35 | < Noah> | Phew, that's more than new from Lego |
| 14:35 | < Noah> | I think |
| 14:37 | < afny> | new a black travis from lego is .35 |
| 14:37 | < Noah> | No, wait, it's 35 |
| 14:37 | < Noah> | Yea |
| 14:37 | < Noah> | I was thinking they were 25 or 30 |
| 14:37 | < afny> | well |
| 14:37 | < afny> | hm |
| 14:37 | < afny> | MAYBE I could order less than 30 |
| 14:37 | < afny> | but ehhh |
| 14:51 | < afny> | okay |
| 14:51 | < afny> | now I'm down to 40 |
| 14:51 | < afny> | but I dont know how I did it |
| 14:51 | < afny> | I think I accidentally removed something important. |
| 14:52 | < afny> | oh |
| 14:52 | < afny> | yep |
| 14:52 | < afny> | accidentally set my travis bricks to 2 |
| 14:52 | < afny> | instead of 30. |
| 14:55 | < Ceddo> | afny: Totes sending them a picture of some of your frames. |
| 14:55 | < afny> | :D |
| 14:55 | < Ceddo> | Ares and Thetis! |
| 14:55 | < afny> | two of my favorites |
| 14:57 | < afny> | the Ares just looks so boss in those pictures. The secret is the Butts. |
| 14:57 | < afny> | For some reason the pose posture was just so mean with Butts for hip joints instead of taps |
| 14:57 | < Ceddo> | Butts. |
| 14:57 | < Ceddo> | MOTORS AND BUTTS. |
| 14:57 | < Ceddo> | I want a shirt with that. |
| 14:57 | < afny> | precisely. |
| 15:03 | < afny> | I think |
| 15:03 | < afny> | I may have actually done it |
| 15:23 | < Ceddo> | I applaud you. |
| 15:23 | < Ceddo> | Also, I sent my email. |
| 15:23 | < Ceddo> | TIME TO GET 'DEM GAMES GOIN. |
| 15:29 | < afny> | wow |
| 15:29 | < afny> | dark blay lightsaber blades are 2 dollars |
| 15:29 | < afny> | at this store |
| 15:30 | < Ceddo> | YAY |
| 15:30 | < Ceddo> | MY SORTING TRAYS ARRIVED. |
| 15:30 | < Ceddo> | My roomie just messaged me. :D |

| 15:32 | < afny> | this tacklebox just isn't cutting it |
| 15:36 | < Ceddo> | Yeah. |
| 15:36 | < Ceddo> | They have nubbins on the bottom. |
| 15:36 | < Ceddo> | So they clip into each other. |
| 15:37 | < Ceddo> | Now I have 16 of them. :D |
| 15:38 | < Ceddo> | Awrite. |
| 15:38 | < Ceddo> | That's that. |
| 15:39 | < Ceddo> | Maybe sent that eMail to the other store aswell. |

| 15:59 | < Ceddo> | Let me put it this way. |
| 16:00 | < Ceddo> | I, too, know what a $300 BL order looks like. :D |

| 16:05 | | * Ceddo takes a knee before Mittens. |
| 16:05 | < Ceddo> | My lord, has my offering satisfied you? |
| 16:06 | < MittenNinja> | lol |
| 16:06 | < MittenNinja> | it is uneccesary |
| 16:06 | < MittenNinja> | we are brothers of the brick |
| 16:07 | < Ceddo> | I am just being melodramatic. |
| 16:07 | < Ceddo> | No, my point is: I used your background, so it's kinda your IP. :D |
| 16:07 | < Ceddo> | So I am curious whether you're fine with it. |
| 16:08 | < MittenNinja> | The Coutl? Yeah dude. I like the use of those bumpers |
| 16:09 | < Ceddo> | Yay! |
| 16:09 | < Ceddo> | Afny: I actually take that back. |
| 16:10 | < Ceddo> | I just tallied my orders. |
| 16:10 | < Ceddo> | .... US$ 675. |
| 16:10 | < Ceddo> | *scratches head* |
| 16:10 | < Ceddo> | Maybe I should take a break. |
| 16:10 | < MittenNinja> | hahaha |
| 16:10 | < MittenNinja> | Yeah, I've spent a good chunk of moeny on all this as well |
| 16:11 | < MittenNinja> | I'm going through and pricing out how much an Anaconda will cost me |
| 16:11 | < MittenNinja> | Im at about $10 and only have about half the pieces |
| 16:22 | < Ceddo> | Yeah your addiction to Travis bricks will kill you. |

| 16:31 | < afny> | stay awake |
| 16:31 | < afny> | you're at WORK |
| 16:32 | < Ceddo> | It's summer, 35?C outside, no one is here, they are ALL on fuckign vacation. |
| 16:32 | < afny> | do you have THE cushiest job in the world |
| 16:32 | < Ceddo> | Dude. |
| 16:32 | < Ceddo> | It's 5:30pm. |
| 16:32 | < Ceddo> | They are ALL GONE. |
| 16:32 | < afny> | bastards |
| 16:32 | < afny> | when do you PUNC OUT |
| 16:32 | < Ceddo> | I am here because it's in our contract. |
| 16:32 | < Ceddo> | 8pm. |
| 16:32 | < Ceddo> | I am guarding an empty house, pretty much. |
| 16:32 | < afny> | I see |
| 16:32 | < MittenNinja> | There's only 4 travis bricks in the anaconda :) |
| 16:32 | < Ceddo> | YES! |
| 16:33 | < Ceddo> | GREAT! |
| 16:33 | < Ceddo> | How many platinum-plated vintage original Dark Grey Headlight bricks do you use? :D |
| 16:33 | < MittenNinja> | lol |
| 16:33 | < MittenNinja> | its all the other crap that adds up. |
| 16:33 | < Ceddo> | Like what? |
| 16:34 | < MittenNinja> | 121 total pieces |
| 16:34 | < Ceddo> | Sounds about right. |
| 16:35 | < Ceddo> | 121 is actually exactly what the Old Couatl has, too. :D |
| 16:35 | < MittenNinja> | to give you a comparison, the Iguana has 73 pieces |
| 16:35 | < Ceddo> | But that includes 11 parts for the rifle. |
| 16:36 | < Ceddo> | Gadian has 116 /w gun. |
| 16:36 | < Ceddo> | Chub has 78 ... :| |
| 16:36 | < MittenNinja> | neither of those counts include extra gear either |
| 16:36 | < MittenNinja> | The iguana is actually a pretty damn economical frame |
| 16:36 | < Ceddo> | I found the only weak spot of the Iguana to be the mounted motors. |
| 16:37 | < MittenNinja> | and those aren't even there on the variants |
| 16:37 | < Ceddo> | Yeah. |
| 16:37 | < Ceddo> | Ugh. I might build some. |
| 16:37 | < MittenNinja> | They are solid little frames |
| 16:37 | < Ceddo> | Just for shits and giggles. |
| 16:37 | < Ceddo> | True, but they are a step away from my beloved Soldier layout. |
| 16:38 | < MittenNinja> | thats easy to fix |
| 16:38 | < Ceddo> | Replace the arm cannons with hands? ;) |
| 16:38 | < MittenNinja> | yep and ditch the motors |
| 16:38 | < Ceddo> | Or take off the motors. |
| 16:38 | < MittenNinja> | add a comm system on the back |
| 16:38 | < Ceddo> | Yuppers. |
| 16:38 | < MittenNinja> | add rifle |
| 16:38 | < MittenNinja> | etc |
| 16:39 | < Ceddo> | Oh, by the way. |
| 16:39 | < Ceddo> | I called some stores today for demo games. |
| 16:39 | < Ceddo> | And two want me to come. |
| 16:39 | < MittenNinja> | nice! |
| 16:39 | < Ceddo> | One of them wanted additional infos. |
| 16:39 | < Ceddo> | So I wrote a little blurb, and mentioned you among others. :D |
| 16:39 | < MittenNinja> | thanks man! |
| 16:40 | < Ceddo> | I shall see. One store has "casual meet-up and wargame on Mondays". |
| 16:40 | < MittenNinja> | btw, i was curious to how sturdy you found your grand naga that you built |
| 16:40 | < Ceddo> | The other one's gonna give me a table and actually prep stuff. |
| 16:40 | < MittenNinja> | very nice |
| 16:40 | < Ceddo> | Well, I found the 1x1 round brick @the arms to fail me over and over again. |
| 16:40 | < MittenNinja> | 1x1 round brick? |
| 16:40 | < Ceddo> | And the legs, I ended up using a 1x1 round /w open stud to stabilize the taps. |
| 16:41 | < MittenNinja> | you mean the lamp holders? |
| 16:41 | < Ceddo> | Nah, where the slick is over |
| 16:41 | < MittenNinja> | ah |
| 16:41 | < Ceddo> | *slick tire +. |
| 16:41 | < Ceddo> | I thought about running a shaft through it, or rigged hose. |
| 16:41 | < MittenNinja> | yeah you need newer pieces there to really have good grip |
| 16:41 | < Ceddo> | But now I scrapped the Naga. Gonna rebuild her in Serpent colors. |
| 16:41 | < MittenNinja> | :) |
| 16:41 | < Ceddo> | As in, black /w Sand Green. |
| 16:42 | < MittenNinja> | Im actually working on a Resistance Cell now called the Snake Charmers |
| 16:42 | < Ceddo> | Hrhr. |
| 16:42 | < MittenNinja> | they're notorious for stealing serpent legion frames |
| 16:42 | < MittenNinja> | Theyve got themselves a naga |
| 16:42 | < Ceddo> | Dude, I wish I could just come over and nerd the fuck out with you and some others over a weekend. |
| 16:43 | < MittenNinja> | thatd be way fun man |
| 16:43 | < Ceddo> | Or even better. Get to know someone from a Lego PLANT. |
| 16:43 | < Ceddo> | And do a camp-out overnight in the plant itself. :D |
| 16:43 | < Ceddo> | Actually. |
| 16:43 | < Ceddo> | *rubs chin* |
| 16:43 | < Ceddo> | I know someone from Maersk. |
| 16:43 | < Ceddo> | Maersk tell you anything? |
| 16:44 | < MittenNinja> | lol |
| 16:44 | < MittenNinja> | nope |
| 16:44 | < Ceddo> | Pretty much the largest container shipment company in the world. They are from Denmark. Build the world's largest ship ... multiple times. |
| 16:44 | < Ceddo> | And they are buttbuddies with Lego. There's an entire lego maersk line of models, because the CEOs are besties. |
| 16:45 | < MittenNinja> | nice |

| 16:46 | < Ceddo> | Now, my friend works at Maersk Germany, and he's head of Germany-To-Asia customer service and stowage assignment. |
| 16:46 | < Ceddo> | Maybe I can bug him to bug someone who knows someone in PR ... who has the Lego contacts. :D |
| 16:49 | < MittenNinja> | Ah yeah, I've seen some of those sets |
| 16:49 | < MittenNinja> | Thatd be sweet dude! |
| 16:51 | < Ceddo> | I doubt it. But I will try! :D |
| 16:53 | < Ceddo> | Okay, time for a smoke of boredom. |
| 16:53 | < Ceddo> | BRB. |
| 16:53 | < Ceddo> | Oh, and Mittens! |
| 16:54 | < Ceddo> | Afny and I kinda came up with a solution for stations. |
| 16:54 | < Ceddo> | You build 8 identical bland, blay stations. |
| 16:54 | < Ceddo> | And then, have 4 colours of 6 sets of trims. |
| 16:54 | < Ceddo> | 1 flag, 1 tile, 1 plate, in a specific color. |
| 16:55 | < Ceddo> | All you do when a station is tagged is change the trim. |
| 16:55 | < afny> | they don't have to be IDENTICAL |
| 16:55 | < afny> | just bland |
| 16:55 | < Ceddo> | Well, yah. But they need to be close enough so the trims are the same. |
| 16:55 | < afny> | yeah |
| 16:55 | < Ceddo> | Anywho. |
| 16:55 | < afny> | WAIT |
| 16:56 | < Ceddo> | I ordered a complete set, including ALL parts needed. |
| 16:56 | < Ceddo> | Came out to be ... US$25. |
| 16:56 | < Ceddo> | http://www.ced23ric.de/stuff/mf0/station2.png |
| 16:56 | < Ceddo> | That's my basemodel. |
| 16:57 | < Ceddo> | I will alter them as I go along. |
| 16:57 | < Ceddo> | But those, I can build 8 of no problem. |
| 16:59 | < afny> | http://mobileframehangar.com/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=1362&p=7733#p7733 |
| 17:00 | < afny> | oops |
| 17:00 | < afny> | there is no k |
| 17:00 | < afny> | in your name. |
| 17:03 | < Ceddo> | YES |
| 17:03 | < Ceddo> | GREAT |
| 17:03 | < Ceddo> | I love it. |
| 17:04 | < MittenNinja> | Thats pretty slick! |
| 17:05 | < MittenNinja> | I'm doing something similar for the ComicCon out here |
| 17:05 | < MittenNinja> | I've got a set of white pillars with some slopes on them |
| 17:05 | < afny> | I'm not sure how I feel about the hair |
| 17:05 | < afny> | It was really hard to get it to stand out |
| 17:05 | < MittenNinja> | I'm using them as ancient Ijad ruins that everyone needs to secure |
| 17:05 | < afny> | could probably fix it in inking |
| 17:05 | < Ceddo> | Sounds good, man. |
| 17:06 | < afny> | when I think Ijad architecture |
| 17:06 | < afny> | I can't help but think Protoss |
| 17:06 | < MittenNinja> | for sure |
| 17:06 | < afny> | I mean scramblers are basically dragoons |
| 17:06 | < MittenNinja> | theyve kind of got a similar feel |
| 17:06 | < Ceddo> | My idea was: Get a base model, so it's clear that it's a station, have trim to mark it, and then ... go bonkers on that. And individualize them. |
| 17:06 | < Ceddo> | "Use me." |
| 17:06 | < Ceddo> | "I have returned." |
| 17:07 | < Ceddo> | Well, afny and my idea. |
| 17:07 | < Ceddo> | Truth be told. |
| 17:07 | < MittenNinja> | I picked up a coupld of the Megablock Halo drop pods and filled them with lime green 1x1 round plates. Put them on a base making them look like they crashed into the ground |
| 17:07 | < MittenNinja> | drop pods with emergency supplies of LIMES |
| 17:07 | < afny> | MEGABLOCKS |
| 17:07 | < Ceddo> | Oh, and I'mma try and get those masonry bricks from that brick store down south. |
| 17:07 | < afny> | do your frame pilots all have scurvy? |
| 17:07 | < MittenNinja> | mainly because i dont have any peaches |
| 17:08 | < MittenNinja> | no they just like gin and tonics |
| 17:08 | < Ceddo> | Mittens: Y U NO USE ORANGE round plates? |
| 17:08 | < afny> | ah, they have MALARIA then |
| 17:08 | < MittenNinja> | They're Jovian peaches... |
| 17:08 | < afny> | gotta get that quinine |
| 17:08 | < Ceddo> | They were on the Legostore walls a few weeks back. |
| 17:08 | < MittenNinja> | or something like that |
| 17:08 | < Ceddo> | Should've grabbed a bucket. |
| 17:08 | < MittenNinja> | yeah, not out here |
| 17:08 | < Ceddo> | One bucket = 10 bucks. |
| 17:08 | < Ceddo> | One bucket would PROBABLY be like 2000 of them. |
| 17:08 | < MittenNinja> | I'm going to swing by one today to see if anything has changed |
| 17:09 | < MittenNinja> | i havent been in a month or so |

| 17:43 | < afny> | I didn't like the way it looked in a thumbnail |
| 17:43 | < afny> | http://i.imgur.com/2W9Yd.jpg?1 |
| 17:43 | < afny> | so I did some value stuff |
| 17:48 | < Ceddo> | Me rikey. |
| 17:49 | < afny> | two of my bricklink orders are |
| 17:49 | < afny> | PROCESSING |
| 17:58 | < Ceddo> | So exciting, eh? |
| 17:58 | < afny> | sadly the place I got my taps from |
| 17:58 | < afny> | has a lot of reviews that say their shipping takes forever |
| 17:59 | < afny> | but the reviews were good otherwise and it was the best deal |
| 17:59 | < Ceddo> | Sadface. |
| 18:00 | < Ceddo> | Fuck me sideways. |
| 18:00 | < Ceddo> | So boring here. :D |

| 18:01 | < Ceddo> | And sort my Legos. <3 |
| 18:01 | < afny> | now that I've spent a fuck ton on legos |
| 18:02 | < afny> | I need to find a temporary free solution |
| 18:02 | < afny> | to sorting |
| 18:03 | < afny> | wow, I'm going into the Flikr backlog for the first time |
| 18:03 | < afny> | there are so many sweet designs |

| 18:09 | < afny> | yeah, A YATES's stuff is always so solid and menacing |

| 18:13 | < afny> | man |
| 18:13 | < afny> | i'm passing out |
| 18:14 | < afny> | i'm going to build a spaceship to try to stay awake |

| 19:44 | < Ceddo> | Re. |
| 19:49 | < afny> | my spaceship would've turned out a lot better if I had enough clear stands |
| 19:50 | < afny> | I sort of just gave up on it half way through since I realized I wouldn't be able to make it look like it was flying |
| 19:51 | < Ceddo> | Aww. |
| 19:52 | < Ceddo> | Poor you. |
| 19:52 | < afny> | -_- |
| 19:53 | < afny> | http://i.imgur.com/eFyMb.jpg?1 |
| 19:53 | < afny> | it's just...sitting there |
| 19:58 | < Noah> | afny: Don't give up! Any of the cannons with a round plate would be find, you can upgrade them to clear later |
| 19:58 | < Noah> | fine* |
| 20:00 | < Noah> | Also, notice: The bot that doesn't do much yet will be going down in the next few hours and should be back up tonight. Secret Surprise: I'm planning on making the bot do some fun stuff with BrickLink that should help with referencing parts while in the channel. |
| 20:01 | < Noah> | But that's not the reason why it's going down; I have school tonight, and they block IRC ports there. |
| 20:07 | < afny> | good advice about the cannons, I just took two of a frame and used them |
| 20:07 | < afny> | looks much better |
| 20:08 | < Noah> | Yea, I ordered some clear ones, but I'm going to avoid clear bases, largely because my vision is crap, so it'll make it easier not to knock the model of the base |
| 20:08 | < Noah> | I'll just think of them as blobby shadows from old video games |
| 20:09 | < Noah> | round dish* |
| 20:09 | < afny> | I would've ordered some clear cannons today but none of the shops I was getting my other bricks from had them |
| 20:09 | < Noah> | Yea, it sucks |
| 20:10 | < Noah> | At what point do I decide that the person who sent me the wrong bricks isn't going to bother trying to do anything at all, even reply back to me, and leave a neutral review |
| 20:10 | < afny> | NEUTRAL |
| 20:10 | < afny> | what |
| 20:11 | < afny> | that's NEGATIVE |
| 20:11 | < Noah> | I wouldn't give her a negative review, not like she's been outright hateful or sent me the entire wrong order, the rest of my stuff was fine, just the wrong brick |
| 20:11 | < afny> | o |
| 20:11 | < afny> | was it just like, one item |
| 20:11 | < afny> | not the whole order? |
| 20:11 | < Noah> | Yea |
| 20:12 | < Noah> | I don't think it deserves a negative review, but if she doesn't get back with me, it's not getting a positive one either |
| 20:17 | < Ceddo> | Dude, this is a sorting madness. |
| 20:17 | < Ceddo> | I am in heaven and hell at the same time. |
| 20:17 | < Ceddo> | So much lego. |
| 20:17 | < Ceddo> | Fuck. |
| 20:17 | < Noah> | You need tackle boxes |
| 20:17 | < Noah> | I plan on getting one or two at my local Bass Pro shop today |
| 20:18 | < Ceddo> | I have 16 sorting tray boxes, 3 by 6 trays each. |
| 20:18 | < Noah> | Check your local... Bassen Progut Shoppe, if you all even fish there |
| 20:18 | < Ceddo> | We do fish. |
| 20:18 | < Ceddo> | Bassen Progut Shoppe. Heh. |
| 20:18 | < Ceddo> | Good one. |
| 20:19 | < Noah> | I dunno, I don't keep up with other countries, I like to think that USA floats along on an infinite sea of migrant workers |
| 20:19 | < Ceddo> | Sure. ;) |
| 20:22 | < Ceddo> | Sure is, by the way, a great thing to say at MtG games. |
| 20:23 | < Noah> | What? "Mountain, tap it, Lightning Bolt. Start at 17."? |
| 20:24 | < Ceddo> | Heh. |
| 20:24 | < Ceddo> | These days, we shock each other. :( |
| 20:25 | < Noah> | Wait, I thought Lightning Bolt was in the last core set, huh |
| 20:25 | < Ceddo> | Nah, it's gone. |
| 20:25 | < Noah> | Anyway, wife home, so I can leave for school now. |

| 20:55 | < Ceddo> | This is ridiculous. |
| 20:56 | < Ceddo> | HOW COME I HAVE LESS SPACE WITH MORE SORTING TRAYS. |
| 20:56 | < afny> | bigger on the outside |
| 20:56 | < afny> | reverse TARDIS. |
| 20:56 | < Ceddo> | So nonsensical! |
| 20:56 | < Ceddo> | *takes a break from sorting* |
| 20:57 | < afny> | READ MY SPACESHIP LORE |
| 20:57 | < afny> | this ship is part of my MFZ setting |
| 20:58 | < afny> | One of my terrain setups is going to be a 0g environment on the outside of its hull |
| 21:01 | < Ceddo> | My fuck. |
| 21:01 | < Ceddo> | Why did I order PEARL GREY 2x3 slopey hoods? |
| 21:02 | < afny> | You were DRUNK. |
| 21:03 | < Ceddo> | I must've been. O_o |
| 21:03 | < Ceddo> | Dude. |
| 21:03 | < Ceddo> | I am about to cut myself. |
| 21:03 | < Ceddo> | Like, legit. |
| 21:04 | < afny> | Don't DO IT. Lego can't hurt you, even if you feel TRAPPED by it. |
| 21:04 | < afny> | It's just plastic. |
| 21:04 | < Ceddo> | I need ... 2 for browns, 2 for tans, 3 for yellows, 2 for lime more sorting trays. |
| 21:04 | < Ceddo> | This is horrible. |
| 21:04 | < Ceddo> | THAT'S 9 MORE TRAYS. |
| 21:04 | < Ceddo> | 9! |
| 21:04 | < Ceddo> | Might aswell order a dozen. -_- |
| 21:05 | < afny> | see |
| 21:05 | < afny> | this is why I still |
| 21:05 | < afny> | just throw lego all over my room and build through the mess |
| 21:05 | < afny> | as horrible as it is |
| 21:06 | < afny> | I haven't entered the fifth circle of hell or whatever |
| 21:06 | < afny> | that you've somehow entered by just trying to organize |
| 21:06 | < Ceddo> | Dude, I'mma take a picture of this. |

| 21:14 | < afny> | Hey |
| 21:14 | < afny> | have you seen Mitten's new frame? |
| 21:14 | < afny> | it has... |
| 21:15 | < afny> | ...a good use of BUTTS. |
| 21:15 | < Ceddo> | Does it? |

| 21:15 | < afny> | It does. |
| 21:15 | < afny> | But perhaps a different KIND of butt. |
| 21:16 | < Ceddo> | ... oh boy. |
| 21:18 | < Ceddo> | Okay. So. |
| 21:18 | < Ceddo> | http://www.ced23ric.de/stuff/mf0/sorting_mess.png |
| 21:18 | < Ceddo> | THat's my situation. |
| 21:18 | < Ceddo> | http://www.ced23ric.de/stuff/mf0/deskboard.png |
| 21:19 | < Ceddo> | That's my deskboard. |
| 21:19 | < Ceddo> | MittenNinja! |
| 21:19 | < Ceddo> | Take a look at the Couatl there, in the deskboard picture. I added shoulder guards. |
| 21:20 | < Ceddo> | Should do the trick, eh? |
| 21:20 | < Ceddo> | Also, there's me rifle, sword and Couatl assembly line. |
| 21:21 | < MittenNinja> | Yeah those shoulders look way better |
| 21:21 | < MittenNinja> | different kinds of butts indeed :) |
| 21:31 | < MittenNinja> | Ced, you're piles are much more organized than mine |
| 21:31 | < Ceddo> | This is madness! |
| 21:31 | < MittenNinja> | I thought it was Sparta? |
| 21:32 | < Ceddo> | Oh, is it Sparta? |
| 21:32 | < Ceddo> | Well, look at that. You're right. It is Sparta. |
| 21:32 | < Ceddo> | Though it was Blasphemy, too, silly old me. |
| 21:32 | < Ceddo> | Clearly, it is Sparta. |
| 21:33 | < Ceddo> | Oh, Greg, are you hungry? For tonight, we dine in hell. Do you want to come along? |
| 21:33 | < Ceddo> | I heard, there is some decent fighting in the shade going on, too. |
| 21:33 | < MittenNinja> | Nah I just ate. Thanks though... |
| 21:33 | < Ceddo> | Very well then, old chap. |
| 21:34 | < Ceddo> | Okay, screw this. I'mma go for a smoke and a beer. |
| 21:53 | < Ceddo> | Okay, better. |
| 22:06 | < afny> | one order paid for |
| 22:08 | < Ceddo> | Ugh. |
| 22:09 | < Ceddo> | This RPG is turning to chaos. :D |
| 22:31 | < Ceddo> | Ugh. |
| 22:31 | < Ceddo> | I am so tempted to just go ahead and build some desert Chubs. |
| 22:36 | < afny> | what's stopping you |
| 22:40 | < Ceddo> | Well ... reason. |
| 22:40 | < Ceddo> | Like, I shouldn't. |
| 22:41 | < Ceddo> | I mean, I don't think I have enough taps, chestguards and claws. |
| 22:42 | < Ceddo> | Ah, scrap it. I'll do that later. Maybe. |
| 23:06 | < Ceddo> | I FUCKING DID IT. |
| 23:06 | < Ceddo> | It's all sorted. |
| 23:06 | < Ceddo> | (safe for all the yellow and all the lime, but fuck that for now.) |
| 23:07 | < afny> | yesss I got it to balance on just one clear thing |
| 23:07 | < afny> | time to RETAKE ALL THE PICTURES |
| 23:07 | < Ceddo> | Such a great feeling, isn't it? |
| 23:07 | < afny> | satis |
| 23:07 | < afny> | FACTION. |
| 23:09 | < afny> | the trick was simple, it turned out |
| 23:09 | < afny> | I just used a half pin instead of a pin, and the connection to the clear cannon was much more stable |
| 23:11 | < Ceddo> | Very good. |
| 23:17 | < afny> | I also changed the colors and made the weapons array way more stable |
| 23:17 | < afny> | it's actually a solid design now instead of just being a pile of bricks |
| 23:18 | < Ceddo> | I want to see pictures! |
| 23:20 | < afny> | I'm doin |
| 23:20 | < afny> | it has a DOCKING BAY now |
| 23:20 | < afny> | I have to past in the description |
| 23:22 | < afny> | it totally looked like an AT-AT before |
| 23:22 | < afny> | with those gray stands |
| 23:22 | < afny> | ruined the whole outline |
| 23:23 | < afny> | http://www.flickr.com/photos/kyanosmoros/7258370246/ |
| 23:26 | < MittenNinja> | Nice man |
| 23:26 | < MittenNinja> | I really need to do some microscale cruisers |
| 23:27 | < afny> | it's really fun |
| 23:27 | < afny> | so much more freeform than frames |
| 23:37 | < Ceddo> | It's a scrapbird. :D |
| 23:38 | < afny> | probably started out as a corporate science vessel |
| 23:39 | < afny> | it's a mystery |
| 23:40 | < afny> | damn typos |
| 23:40 | < afny> | I shouldn't do things when I'm tired |
| 23:42 | < afny> | now that I've built one ship, I want to build a ship in each class |
| 23:43 | < afny> | TITANS DAMNIT |
| 23:45 | < Ceddo> | So. |
| 23:45 | < Ceddo> | I feel accomplished. |
| 23:45 | < afny> | Did you SORT IT ALL |
| 23:45 | < Ceddo> | I brought order to chaos. |
| 23:45 | < Ceddo> | Yes, I did. |
| 23:45 | < afny> | I DREAD IT. |
| 23:45 | < Ceddo> | I now have 16 trayboxes under my deskboard. 3 black, 3 dark grey, 3 light grey, 3 white, 1 tan, 1 brown, 1 mixed, 1 translucent. |
| 23:46 | < Ceddo> | And I have some lime bags and some yellow bags in a drawer - all sorted and in seperate big bags. |
| 23:46 | < afny> | I realize now that a system like that won't work for me |
| 23:46 | < afny> | because I have so much random crap |
| 23:46 | < Ceddo> | So do I. |
| 23:46 | < Ceddo> | But I can find it fast. |
| 23:46 | < Ceddo> | Colour, then section (plate, brick, other). |
| 23:47 | < Ceddo> | And then, I only have to check one tray, really. |
| 23:47 | < afny> | you have a really limited selection of color, though |
| 23:47 | < Ceddo> | It's awesome. |
| 23:47 | < afny> | I can't organize by color |
| 23:47 | < Ceddo> | Deliberately. :D |
| 23:47 | < afny> | yeah |
| 23:47 | < afny> | I'm jealous |
| 23:47 | < Ceddo> | I decided to stick to the monochrome pattern and ONLY add colours as needed. |
| 23:47 | < afny> | that's why I ONLY bought black, grey, and white from bricklink |
| 23:48 | < afny> | I have so much color that I feel like I'll be able to accent whatever I make |
| 23:48 | < Ceddo> | Which is sandgreen for Serpent, Dark Blue for Peacekeepers, Tan for VMC, garish colours in low numbers for the Brother Hood and Brown for accents here and there, weapon handles and such. |
| 23:48 | < Ceddo> | Have you SEEN my assault rifle? |
| 23:48 | < Ceddo> | I am so proud of the design. |
| 23:48 | < afny> | the really russian looking one? |
| 23:48 | < afny> | with all the studs? |
| 23:49 | < Ceddo> | http://www.ced23ric.de/stuff/mf0/st07chubw_b7.png |
| 23:49 | < Ceddo> | This one. |
| 23:49 | < afny> | yeah, I like it a lot |
| 23:49 | < Ceddo> | http://www.ced23ric.de/stuff/mf0/st07chubw_b6.png |
| 23:49 | < Ceddo> | IT HAS A MOTOR. |
| 23:49 | < Ceddo> | OF COURSE YOU LIKE IT. |
| 23:49 | < afny> | I wish those little neck flap pieces werent so expensive or I would've bought some for ironsights |
| 23:49 | < afny> | I've been using clips |
| 23:49 | < Ceddo> | YOu gotta look around. |
| 23:50 | < Ceddo> | Sometimes you can find them for 17 cents. |
| 23:50 | < Ceddo> | Grab 10 or 20. |
| 23:50 | < Ceddo> | Or get brown ones. |
| 23:50 | < afny> | yeah I'm making a list of stuff that like |
| 23:50 | < Ceddo> | THose are usually only 12 cents or less. |
| 23:50 | < afny> | the stores I used ddint have |
| 23:50 | < afny> | so I can use other stores next time and get random stuff, like those, slopes, and transparent cannons |
| 23:50 | < Ceddo> | I will put brown tiles on top. |
| 23:50 | < Ceddo> | And I replaced the handles with brown ones, too. |
| 23:51 | < Ceddo> | It really looks like a slow-firing high-calibre pig. |
| 23:51 | < Ceddo> | Love that feel. |
| 23:51 | < afny> | I'm not 100% sold on the neckflaps on the leg joints |
| 23:51 | < Ceddo> | Okay, time for another smoke. I deserve it. |
| 23:51 | < Ceddo> | Meh, those are just to cover up the taps and claws. |
| 23:52 | < afny> | wait |
| 23:52 | < afny> | there are claws in there? |
| 23:52 | < Ceddo> | If you go clip-tap-clip, you don't need those. |
| 23:52 | < Ceddo> | Hahaha. Yah. |
| 23:52 | < afny> | I thought it looked square because of the neck flap |
| 23:52 | < afny> | but it's because of that I guess |
| 23:52 | < Ceddo> | The claw is in the thigh. |
| 23:52 | < afny> | instead of a clip |
| 23:52 | < Ceddo> | Clipping onto the tap attached to the travis. |
| 23:53 | < afny> | so it just adds height? |
| 23:53 | < Ceddo> | Yupp. |
| 23:53 | < Ceddo> | Height, and some agility. |
| 23:53 | < Ceddo> | Also, the neckflaps make the hips look broader. |
| 23:53 | < Ceddo> | Just an overall more bulky feel. |
| 23:53 | < afny> | yeah that's why I'm not sure about it I guess |
| 23:53 | | McMartin is now known as McM[travels] |
| 23:53 | < afny> | it's not because it's broader or bulkier, just that the grey calls attention to it |
| 23:53 | < afny> | if it was black it'd be perfect |
| 23:53 | < Ceddo> | Black one's are retarded expensive. |
| 23:53 | < afny> | yeah :\ |
| 23:57 | < Ceddo> | Smoke now. BRB. |
