| 00:21 | < afny> | I just realized how wrong I was |
| 00:22 | < afny> | to not order any 2x2 tiles |
| 00:23 | < afny> | if I want to redo all of my Nimrod legs with hinge bits |
| 00:23 | < afny> | as opposed to those click hinges |
| 00:23 | < afny> | I need a ton of 2x2 tiles... |
| 00:24 | < Cedric> | This is so fucking great. |
| 00:25 | < Cedric> | I just realized I have enough parts for 3 awesome chubs. |
| 00:34 | < afny> | agghh |
| 00:34 | < afny> | I want to build frames |
| 00:34 | < afny> | I actually |
| 00:34 | < afny> | really just want to PLAY |
| 00:34 | < Cedric> | Heh. |
| 00:35 | < Cedric> | Dude, these little Chubs looks so funny. |
| 00:35 | < Cedric> | You'll love 'em. |
| 00:35 | < afny> | do they have those scopes |
| 00:35 | < afny> | SCOPEDOGS |
| 00:38 | < Cedric> | Nah, no scopes. |
| 00:38 | < Cedric> | Completely different head. |
| 00:40 | < Cedric> | Okay, now I need two guns and three melee weapons ... I CAN DO THIS. |

| 01:42 | < afny> | #1 is definitely my favorite...both those weapons are just so perfect |

| 01:49 | < Ceddo> | Soren! :D |
| 01:49 | < Soren> | yo. |
| 01:49 | < Ceddo> | Good thing you're there. |
| 01:49 | < Soren> | It's been slightly crazy here. |
| 01:49 | < Ceddo> | We figured. |
| 01:49 | < Soren> | Yeah, I had to bail on you guys. |
| 01:49 | < Ceddo> | Or speculated, rather. |
| 01:50 | < Soren> | We'll be around until the 17th, so you guys still get to mess around with my brain. |
| 01:50 | < Soren> | after that we'll probably have to work out a date/time system so everybody can be on at a time when I'm awake. |
| 01:51 | < Soren> | something on the order of, sunday/saturday at X o'clock, I promise to be on. |
| 01:51 | < Ceddo> | Oh, don't you worry. |
| 01:52 | < afny> | o/ hey Soren |
| 01:52 | < Ceddo> | We're fine. But it's cool you are around. I mostly appreciate your company for humorous reasons. Your dry humor strikes a chord with me. :D |
| 01:53 | < Soren> | I'm glad. |
| 01:53 | < Soren> | As opposed to it chafing, when generally happens when two very dry people... you know what let's just leave that thought right there. On the couch. |
| 01:53 | < Soren> | Like a skidmark. |
| 01:55 | < afny> | I saw a thing about that in an infomercial. |
| 01:56 | < afny> | So, I'm just going to start right in with the brain-mess. |
| 01:57 | < afny> | Space travel in the Solar Calender setting... |
| 01:57 | < afny> | what sizes are we talking for galactic traversal |
| 01:57 | < afny> | what's the biggest thing sent through stargates |
| 01:57 | < afny> | and are larger ships constructed in-system, like building a battleship in a lake? |
| 01:58 | < Soren> | let's see. |
| 01:58 | < Soren> | Okay, when I say '2300 AD' who knows what I'm talking about? |
| 01:59 | < Ceddo> | War has begun. |
| 01:59 | < Soren> | So not Cedric. |
| 01:59 | < Ceddo> | Damn. |
| 02:00 | < Soren> | We're basically talking about tin cans strapped to cranes. |
| 02:00 | < Ceddo> | Someone set us up the bomb..! |
| 02:00 | < Ceddo> | I am going to ride this out. |
| 02:02 | < Soren> | Anyway, semi-hard sciece fiction spacecraft. |
| 02:02 | < Soren> | science* |

| 02:02 | < Soren> | civilian ships are more or less habitats, cargo clamps, and engines. |
| 02:03 | < Soren> | comfy, unarmed, unarmored, efficient. |
| 02:04 | < Soren> | the bigger ones carry little in-system ships around, either their own craft as part of an exploratory mission, or transporting small-time independent ships from a system's transit gate to a specific planetary orbit - for a fee, of course. |
| 02:05 | < Soren> | military ships are very small habitats, with very large engines, wrapped in as much armor as they can possibly carry, with guns. |
| 02:05 | | afny|mac [kevinvankir@Nightstar-42c41d95.res.rr.com] has joined #mf0 |
| 02:05 | < Soren> | They use lasers and kinetics, mostly, with rare but very effective missiles. |
| 02:06 | < afny|mac> | ...okay, so my computer just randomly powers off, so I gave up and switched to this...but the last thing I heard was 2300 AD, which I have not played. |
| 02:06 | < afny|mac> | how2logs |
| 02:07 | < Soren> | I haven't either, BTW. But the art was all over the internet and it's pretty. |
| 02:07 | < Soren> | I think I noticed it thanks to weird-ass aliens. |
| 02:07 | < afny|mac> | When I was little I used to gawk at Battlefleet Gothic boxes |
| 02:07 | < afny|mac> | my tastes have changed since then but I still love cathedrals |
| 02:08 | < Soren> | https://www.dropbox.com/s/fqglgyc34awnuyp/Cruiser%20Bow.JPG Here's a Solar Union guard-cruiser. This is about as big as ships get. |
| 02:09 | < Soren> | it's got a big, forward-fixed laser up front, a pair of rapid-firing 20cm railguns, and a pair of close-range mass driver turrets for chopping up little stuff. |
| 02:10 | < Soren> | Plus room to clamp on missiles, etc. |
| 02:10 | < Soren> | https://www.dropbox.com/s/y0r4iz4yqryebt7/Cruiser%20Stern.JPG Have some ass. |
| 02:10 | < afny|mac> | dat ass. |
| 02:10 | < afny|mac> | What's the scale on this? |
| 02:11 | < afny|mac> | and also, the big money question |
| 02:11 | < afny|mac> | what are the artificial grav systems like? |
| 02:11 | < Soren> | the scale is: big. |
| 02:12 | < Soren> | it's got a bay for about... 4 STs on there somewhere, let's say. |
| 02:12 | < Ceddo> | The beauty of elegant design. *sighs in delight* |
| 02:12 | < Ceddo> | STs, as in Chubs? |
| 02:12 | < Soren> | yeah.. |
| 02:12 | < afny|mac> | yeah, my ships are much too big then |
| 02:12 | < Ceddo> | So the guard cruiser can fit 4 Chubs. |
| 02:12 | < afny|mac> | except for the belphegor |
| 02:13 | < Soren> | There's no artificial gravity, but there's a centrifuge clock buried way in there. |
| 02:13 | < Soren> | block* |
| 02:13 | < Ceddo> | Which means, transporting 'frames is something for the filthy rich. |
| 02:13 | < Soren> | it really is. |
| 02:13 | < Ceddo> | Or the military high ups. |
| 02:13 | < Ceddo> | Also, these ships are not ... cathedrals in space. |
| 02:14 | < Soren> | There aren't very many of these things. They're building a few, but for the most part it's just too hard to get them anywhere near a target valuable enough to justify the expense. |
| 02:14 | < Ceddo> | They are more like the ISS with more armor and less dangly bits. |
| 02:14 | | afny [afny@Nightstar-42c41d95.res.rr.com] has joined #mf0 |
| 02:14 | < Ceddo> | I am trying to wrap my head around how they actually transport stuff with ships like that. |
| 02:15 | < Soren> | I'm looking forward to building a booster module, also. |
| 02:15 | < afny|mac> | I think the whole idea of modular frames is that frames are mostly built on location |
| 02:15 | < Soren> | They don't use ships like this for transport. |
| 02:15 | < Soren> | A transport ship would look more like a mushroom with a super-long stalk |
| 02:16 | < Soren> | the payload gets clamped to the stalk, and the mushroom cap is a big ablative shield. |
| 02:16 | < Ceddo> | Mhmm, gotcha. |
| 02:16 | < Ceddo> | So it's all in the shadow of the cap. |
| 02:17 | < Soren> | Depending on the design, the cap might also double as a disposable heat-shield for lading a lot of cargo really fast. |
| 02:17 | < Ceddo> | Very well then. |
| 02:17 | < Soren> | landing* |
| 02:17 | < Ceddo> | I presume there are no feasible dropships for rapid |
| 02:17 | < Ceddo> | *deployment, then? |
| 02:17 | < afny|mac> | I actually was building a ship just like that earlier |
| 02:17 | < Ceddo> | As in, atmospherical dropships. |
| 02:17 | < afny|mac> | but the stalk ended up going vertical and it became something totally different |
| 02:17 | < Ceddo> | Might even be planetarily bound. |
| 02:17 | < Soren> | It's less that there are no feasible dropships and more that it's very hard to get close to a hostile planet and land one with any hope of recovery. |
| 02:18 | < Ceddo> | Well, how about I want to bumrush you. |
| 02:18 | < Ceddo> | We are on the same planet. |
| 02:18 | < Ceddo> | I could walk my 50 'frame your way. |
| 02:18 | < Soren> | There are dropships, but they're more like shuttles. They aren't armed. |
| 02:18 | < Ceddo> | Or snatch them up with VTOLs and throw the 'frames at you, dropping them into your backyard. |
| 02:18 | < Ceddo> | Right on the prized roses. |
| 02:18 | < Soren> | There's no Aliens space-vietnam air-cav action. |
| 02:19 | < Ceddo> | Not? |
| 02:19 | < afny> | VTOLS aren't exactly orbital |
| 02:19 | < Ceddo> | No, no, no. |
| 02:19 | < Ceddo> | Just atmospherical. |
| 02:19 | < Ceddo> | Forget about space for now. |
| 02:19 | < afny> | ;_; how could I ever |
| 02:19 | < Ceddo> | Heh. |
| 02:19 | < Soren> | If a shuttle needs cover, you throw a bunch of missiles and kinetic impactors at the target area to cover your approach. |
| 02:20 | < Ceddo> | Gnh. Sever the thought. |
| 02:20 | < Ceddo> | Here's what is going on. |
| 02:21 | < Soren> | Mmm. Local transport is usually a militarized version of whatever the dominant form of fast transit is. |
| 02:21 | < Ceddo> | My marines ('frames) and I, we are at spot A. I need my marines to go to spot B. I call a Huey (dropship) to pick my marines up. The Huey flies over to B and drops them. |
| 02:21 | < Ceddo> | Possible? |
| 02:21 | < Soren> | Sure. If it's a colony with good weather often enough that you can fly around. |
| 02:21 | < Ceddo> | All on the same planet, same continent, came region, etc. |
| 02:22 | < Ceddo> | A given. Can't go for a little skywards stroll in constant thunderstorms. |
| 02:22 | < Soren> | Tien Shan is blizzardy about 89% of the year. Which is two Earth years long. |
| 02:23 | < Soren> | And we're talking hardcore Napoleon-in-Russian blizzards. |
| 02:23 | < Soren> | -n |
| 02:23 | < Ceddo> | Napoleon didn't like those. |
| 02:23 | < Soren> | So you transport stuff my armored rail car or snow crawler. |
| 02:23 | < Soren> | by*\ |
| 02:23 | < Ceddo> | Yupp, makes sense. |
| 02:24 | < Ceddo> | But if conditions are right and there's airborne traffic anyway, there's also military use. |
| 02:24 | < afny|mac> | OR... |
| 02:24 | < afny|mac> | ...giant snowshoes... |
| 02:24 | < Soren> | So, it really depends on local conditions. There's a lot of 'your VTOL mail-carrier has been requisitioned, you're going to fly into that flak and unload us.' |
| 02:24 | < Ceddo> | So at times, 'frames can be airdropped. |
| 02:24 | < Ceddo> | Okay, thanks. THat's what I was curious about. |
| 02:24 | < Soren> | Yeah. One of the custom companies uses fancy VTOL backpacks. |
| 02:24 | < Ceddo> | Sweet. |
| 02:25 | < Ceddo> | Are you taking pictures of the custom companies before you ship the mout? |
| 02:25 | < Soren> | Im having a lot of fun with it, yeah. |
| 02:25 | < Ceddo> | *them out |
| 02:25 | < Soren> | I'm |
| 02:25 | < Soren> | I'm sure as fuck gonna try. |
| 02:25 | < Ceddo> | Very good. I would've insisted. |
| 02:25 | | Noah is now known as Noah{AngryFace} |
| 02:25 | < Ceddo> | Aaaanyway. |
| 02:25 | < Ceddo> | Afny. |
| 02:25 | < Ceddo> | Read that damn story. |
| 02:26 | < Ceddo> | I'mma go to bed. |
| 02:26 | < afny|mac> | I read mooost of it |
| 02:27 | < Ceddo> | Go finish it. :D |
| 02:27 | < Ceddo> | Unless you can't bear it. Fuck it, then. |
| 02:28 | < afny|mac> | I just can't focus. I enjoyed the battle scenes, but I kept going into edit mode |
| 02:28 | < afny|mac> | but it's sort of unfair to judge the inconsistencies because you didn't know things about the lore when you wrote it |
| 02:28 | < Ceddo> | Mhmm, gotcha. Nevermind. |
| 02:28 | < Ceddo> | Well, what about you take notes and send them to me via PM? |
| 02:28 | < afny|mac> | yeah sure |
| 02:28 | < Ceddo> | And I go back and fix them. |
| 02:29 | < Ceddo> | Anyway. Bed now. |
| 02:29 | < Ceddo> | Nightey night! |
| 02:29 | < afny|mac> | I'm not an authority on the fiction though so it will mostly just be writing stuff |
| 02:29 | < afny|mac> | night o/ |
| 02:29 | < Soren> | g'night! |
| 02:29 | | Ceddo [Ced@Nightstar-741a99c9.adsl.alicedsl.de] has quit [[NS] Quit: ] |
| 02:31 | < afny|mac> | Well I'm not crushed that my ships don't fit into the fiction. Regardless of their size, some of their lore is a little too soft sci-fi anyway, I suspect |
| 02:32 | < Soren> | Well, I have this policy about canonicity, which is that if you make something neat, our fictional reality should bend to accomodate it. |
| 02:32 | | Noah{AngryFace} is now known as Noah |
| 02:32 | < Soren> | I mentioned the most popular designs - I didn't say that's the only way people make spacecraft. |
| 02:32 | <~Noah> | Well, Dawn got back to me finally, she's going to check to see if she has the proper bricks that should've been sent and let me know tomorrow |
| 02:33 | < afny|mac> | I've definitely done that a lot in my campaign setting, but I sort of want to keep my pseudo-canon, at least. |
| 02:34 | < Soren> | link me up. I think I missed your stuff in the logs. |
| 02:34 | <~Noah> | SCREW CANNON, I HAVE PLOT AND FANSERVICE! |
| 02:34 | < Soren> | I don't think you want to get us into the realm of fanservice. |
| 02:35 | < Soren> | I'll find ways to make it upsetting. |
| 02:35 | < afny> | http://www.flickr.com/photos/kyanosmoros/7263884904/in/set-72157629884597650/ |
| 02:36 | < Soren> | Oh, no, that's just fine. |
| 02:36 | < Soren> | very neat, actually. |
| 02:36 | <~Noah> | So, Lego spaceship game, what's the whatwhat on that? |
| 02:36 | < afny|mac> | the light frigates and the hauler might SORT of fit the setting, but the battleship and "La Nuit" are a little out there |
| 02:37 | < Soren> | I dunno, I think La Nuit is your best one. |
| 02:37 | < afny|mac> | I just mean lore wise |
| 02:37 | < afny|mac> | it's my favorite build as well |
| 02:38 | < Soren> | Nah, there's totally room for something like that. |
| 02:38 | < afny|mac> | :D awesome. |
| 02:39 | < afny|mac> | it's not the kind of ship that would ever land on a planet, obviously, so that makes things simpler |
| 02:40 | < Soren> | yeah, everybody uses shuttles or disposable heatshields and ballutes for that. |
| 02:41 | < afny|mac> | Oooh, I kind of want to make a shuttle w/ SOS beacon as a station now... |
| 02:41 | < Soren> | go for it. |
| 02:42 | < Soren> | with a little ultralight aircraft from the shuttle as a scout, maybe? |
| 02:42 | < afny|mac> | That'd be slick |
| 02:43 | < afny|mac> | Gotta wait for my bricklink order for that I think, I'm seeing something with articulate dorsal thruster thingies |
| 02:43 | < Soren> | spiffy. |
| 02:45 | < Soren> | But yeah, in a universe where travel is difficult and expensive and making do is the order of the day, there's a ton of room for 'Well, this is what I've got, so I'm gonna weld these two pieces together and add an engine and see if it does the job' designs. |
| 02:45 | < afny|mac> | I love that mode of spaceship storytelling. And it's a pretty accurate metaphor for my design process. |
| 02:46 | < Soren> | Me too. |
| 02:46 | < Soren> | Okay, brb. |
| 02:46 | < Soren> | https://www.dropbox.com/s/7lxt46y5sjfxtbc/GN-X.JPG Stare at the pretty real hard. |

| 03:20 | < afny|mac> | I really like the Histobrick, but I'm totally stumped by green 1x2s |
| 03:20 | < afny|mac> | can't make five of them |
| 03:20 | < afny|mac> | still, it'll probably be cheaper to order the bricks than to order a bunch of dice |
| 03:20 | <~Noah> | Yea, I replied the same, green bricks seem to be the least common |
| 03:20 | <~Noah> | Oh yea |
| 03:21 | <~Noah> | I was screwing around in a store, and picked out enough bricks to make one of these for 8 frames for 6 people, and it was still less than what I would've payed for just dice for myself |
| 03:22 | <~Noah> | It was like 30, but it was a random USA store with a lot of bricks |
| 03:22 | < afny|mac> | if I actually sort ALL of my bricks I might find enough for everything but the green for 8 frames |
| 03:23 | < afny|mac> | 30 bucks is cheap for 6 companies |
| 03:23 | < afny|mac> | It's kind of a grody solution but one step up from just writing numbers on bits of paper |
| 03:23 | < afny|mac> | is playing cards |

| 05:33 | <@McMartin> | They are giant baseplates. |
| 05:34 | <~Noah> | Oh, I see |
| 05:34 | <@McMartin> | "A 'lunar surface' baseplate came with some of the early space sets" |
| 05:34 | <@McMartin> | I suspect that is what these are. |
| 05:35 | <~Noah> | How old are those things? |
| 05:35 | <@McMartin> | Would have been early-mid 1980s, I bet. |
| 05:35 | <@McMartin> | http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/BuilderQ/Classic-Space/classic-space-logo.jpg |
| 05:35 | <@McMartin> | Does this logo ring any bells? |
| 05:36 | <~Noah> | Sure does *searches and finds a minifig with the logo on his chest* |
| 05:37 | <@McMartin> | So, yes, a bunch of 32x32 baseplates. |
| 05:37 | <~Noah> | Very nice |
| 05:38 | <@McMartin> | A few Technic bricks, bunches of other bricks and plates for raw meat for frames. |
| 05:38 | <~Noah> | Bunch of modified bricks? |
| 05:38 | <@McMartin> | I don't think they're intentionally modified |
| 05:39 | <@McMartin> | Variant bricks, yes, like pin-and-1x2-brick and such |
| 05:39 | <~Noah> | Yea, those |
| 05:39 | <~Noah> | BrickLink calls those modified |
| 05:39 | <@McMartin> | Also CLIPS AND NOZZLES HUZZAH |
| 05:39 | <~Noah> | Sweet |
| 05:39 | <~Noah> | Sounds like you need to go get some tackle boxes to sort into, I did. |
| 05:40 | <~Noah> | Also, these old Sherlock Holmes episodes are actually pretty good |
| 05:56 | <@McMartin> | Ach |
| 05:56 | <@McMartin> | Also 20-year-old bubblegum and about 15 ccs of sand |
| 05:56 | <@McMartin> | I'll have to handle this tomorrow, outdoors, with ah ose |
| 05:57 | <@McMartin> | *a hose |
| 06:00 | <~Noah> | Haha |
| 06:00 | <~Noah> | old sand is awesome |
| 06:00 | <~Noah> | How'd the gum taste? |
| 06:00 | <@McMartin> | I had to lever it off |
| 06:01 | <@McMartin> | Some of it isn't moving at all - those pieces may be losses. |
| 06:02 | <~Noah> | nah, just soak in hot water, should soften up |
| 06:03 | <~Noah> | Maybe even make it masticatable |
| 06:10 | <~Noah> | Someone make a frame using as many microfigs as possible, and call it Legion |
| 06:11 | <@McMartin> | You saw the Roffelths, right? |
| 06:13 | <~Noah> | Yes |
| 06:15 | <@McMartin> | Oh wait, microfigs |
| 06:15 | <@McMartin> | Hmmm |
| 06:15 | <@McMartin> | You could do that with C6 >:D |
| 06:16 | <@McMartin> | The big missile batteries might *be* Legion |
| 06:16 | <~Noah> | Hehe |
| 07:00 | <~Noah> | Hurr - http://www.flickr.com/photos/72487440@N08/6538157473/in/photostream |
| 07:01 | <@McMartin> | IT IS THE 80S |
| 07:01 | <@McMartin> | SOON IT WILL BE TIME FOR KLAX |
| 07:03 | <@McMartin> | Minifig mullets, though, seriously |
| 07:03 | <~Noah> | KLAX LATER D&D FOR NOW |
| 07:03 | <@McMartin> | oh my stars and garters |
| 07:03 | <~Noah> | Minifig mullets ftw |
| 07:09 | <@McMartin> | Word of the day: "Awesometer" |
| 07:12 | <~Noah> | On a scale of itself, I'd give that word a 9 |
| 08:42 | | Cedric [Ced@Nightstar-009f6395.adsl.alicedsl.de] has joined #mf0 |
| 08:42 | < Cedric> | Yo. |
| 08:55 | < Cedric> | Soren, you were right. RIgid hose is duct tape. |
| 08:55 | < Cedric> | It's awesome. |
| 08:55 | < Cedric> | Used it to internally stabilize 7 Chubs now and they are the bomb digs. |
| 08:55 | | * Soren yawns |
| 08:56 | < Soren> | o hai. |
| 08:56 | < Cedric> | Right now, I am stiffening up a new set of wheels over a travis bricks, with the tire held by two dishes and a 1x1 round /w open stud spacer. |
| 08:56 | < Cedric> | Wicked stuff. |
| 08:56 | < Soren> | It's pretty much the shit. |
| 08:56 | < Cedric> | I thought T pieces were. |
| 08:56 | < Cedric> | But now I have seen the light. |
| 08:56 | < Soren> | shockingly no! |
| 08:56 | < Soren> | They're a lot less useful than they first appear. |
| 08:57 | < Cedric> | It's so simple. |
| 08:57 | < Cedric> | But so versatile. |
| 08:57 | < Cedric> | Hey, help me with a name here. |
| 08:57 | < Soren> | Sure. |
| 08:57 | < Cedric> | What's larger than a Grand Naga? |
| 08:58 | < Soren> | haven't the faintest. brain is in another realm altogether. |
| 08:58 | < Cedric> | Ha! No worries. |
| 08:59 | < Cedric> | I just found out that those one-size-bigger buggy wheels fit over a travis brick, too. |
| 08:59 | < Cedric> | And if you use a spacer, you can clamp them in with dishes. |
| 08:59 | < Cedric> | And they form monstrous wheels. |
| 09:00 | < Soren> | mm, don't forget, you can use a technic half-bushing and some rigid hose, and it'll even spin. |
| 09:00 | < Soren> | Oh, wait, different size thing. |
| 09:00 | < Soren> | Duh. |
| 09:00 | < Cedric> | Yeah ... these are big. |
| 09:01 | | Soren [Soren@Nightstar-efcfb64e.co.comcast.net] has left #mf0 [] |
| 09:01 | | Soren [Soren@Nightstar-efcfb64e.co.comcast.net] has joined #mf0 |
| 09:01 | < Cedric> | Like the size of ~7 or 8 1x1 round bricks set up as a circle. |
| 09:01 | < Soren> | shit. |
| 09:01 | < Soren> | ah, yeah. |
| 09:02 | < Cedric> | I just realized that I am devoid of taps and clips. |
| 09:02 | < Cedric> | Guess what's not gonna happen? |
| 09:03 | < Cedric> | Tip: Starts with G, ends with "rand Naga". |
| 09:03 | < Soren> | guess so. |
| 09:03 | < Soren> | Oh, hey, I built some dudes today. |
| 09:03 | < Soren> | I've got a full seven guys on this team now. |
| 09:03 | < Soren> | TIME FOR MOTHERFUCKING PICTURES. |
| 09:09 | < Cedric> | Yes! |
| 09:09 | < Cedric> | I WANT TO SEE! |
| 09:10 | < Soren> | Well, let me edit. |
| 09:11 | < Cedric> | I do. |
| 09:20 | < Soren> | https://www.dropbox.com/s/2xu1k1mt2prwpqr/Blade%20Breakers.JPG |
| 09:24 | < Cedric> | ... OH I SEE. |
| 09:24 | < Cedric> | You are using the 1x1 black "X" letter tile. |
| 09:24 | < Cedric> | Well, those letter tiles in general. |
| 09:25 | < Cedric> | Mhmm. I dunno. I like them, but you built better. If I may be so blunt. |
| 09:26 | < Soren> | Yeah, I'm irrationally fond of them |
| 09:26 | < Cedric> | See, I think those white canisters are cool as all hell. |
| 09:26 | < Cedric> | And the feet on the lead guy are sweet. |
| 09:26 | < Cedric> | The assaultrifle with the 1x2 tile is awesome, too. |
| 09:27 | < Cedric> | It looks like you clamped a tread bit in there, too. |
| 09:27 | < Soren> | Yeah, I have a lot of those built |
| 09:27 | < Soren> | yep |
| 09:27 | < Cedric> | The Arms-to-shoulders section is great. |
| 09:27 | < Cedric> | But the legs, the head and the lower torso don't get me. |
| 09:28 | < Cedric> | Can't really see the back, |
| 09:28 | < Cedric> | The lead guy's torso is odd. Too wide for the head, or the head doesn't work there. |
| 09:28 | < Soren> | He's extra chunky. |
| 09:28 | < Soren> | double blue for sure. |
| 09:29 | < Cedric> | His shoulder pauldron is cool, but might need an 1x2 inverted slope at the bottom. |
| 09:29 | < Cedric> | Maybe with a 1x1 round stud in the bottom. |
| 09:29 | < Cedric> | And he'd probably end up having a massive minigun with me. :D :D |
| 09:29 | < Soren> | He's actually the guy the massive miniguns I design were built for. |
| 09:30 | < Cedric> | There's a lot of cool elements in there. |
| 09:30 | < Soren> | designed* |
| 09:30 | < Cedric> | See? |
| 09:30 | < Cedric> | He wants one. |
| 09:30 | < Cedric> | Give him one. |
| 09:30 | < Soren> | He's the only one stable enough to hold them, mind you... |
| 09:30 | < Soren> | Two. Gotta have two. |
| 09:30 | < Cedric> | Heh. |
| 09:30 | < Cedric> | Ironically, the Old Couatl is probably my heaviest 'frame yet. |
| 09:30 | < Cedric> | Didn't even plan it as such. |
| 09:30 | < Cedric> | But that thing can carry another 'frame and not tip. |
| 09:31 | < Soren> | size creep is a thing, yeah |
| 09:31 | < Cedric> | Yeah, which is why I swerved away, scrapped two 'frames and built three chubs. |
| 09:31 | < Cedric> | To sort my perception back out. :D |
| 09:32 | < Cedric> | These guys: http://www.ced23ric.de/stuff/mf0/st07k_chub_b1.png |
| 09:33 | < Soren> | interesting! |
| 09:33 | < Soren> | I dunno about the axes or the map tiles. |
| 09:33 | < Cedric> | The round one's? |
| 09:34 | < Soren> | the rest seems solid, if a little color-fragmented. |
| 09:34 | < Soren> | yeah |
| 09:34 | < Cedric> | I literally scrounged up the last tap for those. |
| 09:34 | < Soren> | I bet |
| 09:34 | < Cedric> | Hence the colours are all over the place. |
| 09:34 | < Cedric> | Tried to keep it at least to two synergistic colours. |
| 09:35 | < Soren> | yeah, refinde, they could be great |
| 09:35 | < Soren> | refined* |
| 09:35 | < Cedric> | Well, I would probably get rid of the bley. |
| 09:35 | < Cedric> | And turn it all black. |
| 09:35 | < Cedric> | That should do the trick. |

| 14:07 | < afny> | o/ |
| 14:28 | < Cedric> | So! |
| 14:28 | < Cedric> | How are you this fine day? |
| 14:31 | < afny> | barely awake |
| 14:35 | < Cedric> | What time is it? |
| 14:37 | < afny> | 9:30 |
| 14:37 | < afny> | I actually woke up at a normal time today |
| 14:37 | < afny> | as opposed to in the middle of the night |
| 14:38 | < afny> | ironically, I am not a morning person. |
| 14:39 | < Cedric> | Well, I went to bed at 3am. |
| 14:39 | < Cedric> | And got up at 9am. |
| 14:39 | < Cedric> | Went in to work at 1pm. |
| 14:39 | < Cedric> | Arrived at 1:30pm. |
| 14:39 | < Cedric> | And it's 3:40pm now. |
| 14:40 | < Cedric> | I used the time in the morning to build another 'frame. :D |
| 14:41 | < afny> | I see it |
| 14:42 | < afny> | I like the chain |
| 14:42 | < afny> | I have a brown one of those I really want to find a use for |
| 14:42 | < afny> | I gotta be honest though I liked your orange grand naga better |
| 14:42 | < afny> | I like the mailman-esque head on this one but I just liked the adventerous color scheme |
| 14:47 | < Cedric> | Heh. |
| 14:47 | < Cedric> | Yeah, but the black/sandgreen blends in with the Couatls. |
| 14:48 | < Cedric> | That company is going look beast. |
| 14:48 | < Cedric> | All of them are massive lumberling behemoths. |
| 14:52 | < afny> | yeah, they'll look sick on the table |
| 14:54 | < Cedric> | Also, this one is SO MUCH bulkier. |
| 14:54 | < Cedric> | The tires alone are twice the size. |
| 14:54 | < Cedric> | I had to throw a spacer in there AND use rigid hose to affix it all. |
| 14:54 | < Cedric> | And there's another spacer between the joint and the wheel. |
| 14:54 | < Cedric> | So big. |
| 14:54 | < Cedric> | Then I beefed up the entire cockpit section. |
| 14:55 | < Cedric> | Elongated the body, widened the pelvis. |
| 14:55 | < Cedric> | I think the only thing that did not become bigger was the arms. |
| 14:55 | < Cedric> | But then again, it's wielding a massive assault rifle and a stormshield, so .. |
| 15:08 | < Cedric> | Alright. |
| 15:08 | < Cedric> | Let's check what could arrive today. |
| 15:08 | < afny> | I'm still waiting on one invoice |
| 15:09 | < Cedric> | Theoretically ... nothing. |
| 15:09 | < Cedric> | Which would suck. |
| 15:10 | < Cedric> | But if one of those shipments arrives ... |
| 15:11 | < Cedric> | ... 2 Chubs go live, making it 4 peacekeepers. |
| 15:14 | < afny> | hm |
| 15:14 | < afny> | my only one that's shipped was last seen across the country yesterday |
| 15:14 | < afny> | so I don't think that's getting here |
| 15:14 | < afny> | I'll have to stick with spaceships for now |
| 15:15 | < Cedric> | Out of taps, t pieces, butts and clips? |
| 15:16 | < Cedric> | Dude, I need to grab a bite. BRB. |
| 15:17 | < afny> | I didn't even ORDER any butts |
| 15:17 | < afny> | WHY |
| 15:29 | < Cedric> | Backsies. |
| 15:29 | < Cedric> | Well, there's your problem. |
| 15:30 | < Cedric> | How do you even intend to build something? Silly you. |
| 15:34 | < afny> | Simple |
| 15:34 | < afny> | spaceships don't have butts. |
| 15:35 | < afny> | I might build some terrain plates today though |
| 15:35 | < afny> | if I do that I have to sort out a bunch of bricks |
| 15:39 | < Cedric> | Heh. |
| 15:39 | < Cedric> | Your stuff looks like you could build a lot of terrain. |
| 15:41 | < afny> | yeah I'm pretty set when it comes to that I think |
| 15:41 | < Cedric> | http://kleinanzeigen.ebay.de/anzeigen/s-anzeige/berlin/spielzeug/lego_duplo/u145 5115 |
| 15:42 | < Cedric> | US& 60 |
| 15:42 | < Cedric> | *US$ 60 |
| 15:42 | < afny> | I don't think I could build a good forest or jungle |
| 15:42 | < afny> | but other than that |
| 15:42 | < afny> | welll |
| 15:42 | < afny> | or a desert |
| 15:42 | < afny> | I have very few tan parts |
| 15:42 | < afny> | or green parts |
| 15:42 | < Cedric> | I am looking for lego colelctions of people throwing them out on ebay classifieds. :D |
| 15:43 | < afny> | that's a nice set if you want to do motorized stuff |
| 15:43 | < Cedric> | http://i.ebayimg.com/00/s/NzY4WDEwMjQ=/$(KGrHqRHJBwE-dspTE4EBPqCZzylOg~~48_20.JP G |
| 15:43 | < Cedric> | They want US$180 for that. |
| 15:44 | < afny> | I've been looking on the local craigslist and peopel ask CRAZY ammounts for their lego |
| 15:44 | < afny> | people* |
| 15:45 | < Cedric> | http://i.ebayimg.com/00/s/NzY4WDEwMjQ=/$(KGrHqZHJBYE9uMIY7JsBPeti1N2P!~~48_20.JP G |
| 15:45 | < Cedric> | ~US$ 140 for that. |
| 15:45 | < afny> | looks like too mcuh bionicle |
| 15:45 | < Cedric> | Yupp. |
| 15:45 | < afny> | and I see knex |
| 15:45 | < Cedric> | And there's KNEX in there, too. |
| 15:45 | < afny> | oh so |
| 15:45 | < Cedric> | Yah. :D |
| 15:45 | < afny> | I don't know what it's called but |
| 15:46 | < afny> | I remember seeing it somewhere |
| 15:46 | < afny> | it's like a set of custom plastic bricks that let you integrate |
| 15:46 | < afny> | like lego and knex, and also a bunch of other building toys |
| 15:46 | < afny> | I'm not TOO interested in that kind of thing but I would buy a few stud to knex links |
| 15:46 | < Cedric> | Never. Knex looks like poop with Legos. |
| 15:47 | < afny> | I dunno, I think if applied in the RIGHT WAY |
| 15:47 | < afny> | it could be cool |
| 15:47 | < afny> | definitely not for frames though |
| 15:48 | < afny> | ooh |

| 15:49 | < Cedric> | ~US$90 |
| 15:49 | < Cedric> | Heya Greg. |
| 15:53 | < afny> | I think I might have to constrain myself to a mostly symmetrical design for this ship |
| 15:53 | < afny> | also, fuuuuck, I didn't order any binoculars |
| 15:54 | < afny> | i'm going to put an order in at the store that hasn't sent me an invoice yet |
| 15:55 | < MittenNinja> | heya |
| 15:56 | < MittenNinja> | google translate is so funny sometimes |
| 15:56 | < MittenNinja> | " A little Lego Space is attending. " |
| 15:56 | < Cedric> | Bahaha. |
| 15:56 | < Cedric> | Greg: Those new tires are wicked. On the Naga. |
| 15:56 | < Cedric> | I ordered those accidentially. |
| 15:57 | < Cedric> | And then I was like: "Wait a sec, challenge accepted." |
| 15:57 | < MittenNinja> | Yeah man, they look good! |
| 15:57 | < Cedric> | Had to add a space in depth and width, and use rigid hose through the dishes to affix it, but man, those tires look baws. |
| 15:58 | < Cedric> | My roomie was like: "Dude. Can we please compare this Consript to this Naga? Okay. Look at it. This guy goes: 'I shoot you!' and then, the Naga goes: 'LOL I JUST WALK OVER YOU!' and then, that guy is dead." |
| 15:58 | < Cedric> | My roomies don't build, play or read the boards. They just sometimes watch me build and comment. Or help me take pictures. :D |
| 15:59 | < Cedric> | http://kleinanzeigen.ebay.de/anzeigen/s-anzeige/berlin/spielzeug/lego_duplo/u225 6197 <--- this one actually looks good. Lemme call those people ... |
| 16:06 | < afny> | I still see a lot of technic |
| 16:06 | < afny> | and BASEPLATES |
| 16:06 | | * afny makes the sign of a cross |
| 16:10 | < Cedric> | Well, the moonie one's are cool. :/ |
| 16:10 | < Cedric> | At least back in the day of Blacktron, they were. |
| 16:10 | < afny> | yeah I mean |
| 16:10 | < afny> | as a kid I loved baseplates |
| 16:10 | < afny> | but as I kid I also loved minifigs |
| 16:12 | < Cedric> | I spent hours combinign them. |
| 16:12 | < Cedric> | AND THEN. |
| 16:12 | < afny> | I was more M-tron |
| 16:12 | < afny> | than Blacktron |
| 16:12 | < Cedric> | I FOUND OUT. |
| 16:12 | < Cedric> | YOU COULD TAKE OF THE LEGS. |
| 16:12 | < Cedric> | D: |
| 16:12 | < Cedric> | I was in heaven. |
| 16:12 | < afny> | haha that's mildly disturbing |
| 16:12 | < Cedric> | And: Deffo more Black than MTron myself. |
| 16:12 | < Cedric> | Well, I could combine the legs, too! |
| 16:12 | < afny> | but then again I remember making a giant tower of minfig heads at one point |
| 16:12 | < afny> | I had a thing for magnets |
| 16:13 | < afny> | but blacktron was also a little before my time |
| 16:13 | < afny> | I saw a blacktron fig in my bucket yesterday though so obviosly not that far before my time |
| 16:13 | < afny> | I also have a ton of Space Police slopes and tiles |
| 16:13 | < afny> | that I have to use for a company |
| 16:16 | < afny> | I need to figure out a brick-cheap way to make elevation |
| 16:20 | < Cedric> | Heh. |
| 16:20 | < Cedric> | The key is easy. |
| 16:20 | < Cedric> | It's called "hinges and plates". |
| 16:20 | < Cedric> | It's the motor and butts of elevation. |
| 16:23 | < afny> | I'm building sideways so I can get flat surfaces |
| 16:23 | < afny> | so it's hard to build columns |
| 16:24 | < Cedric> | Hrhr. |
| 16:29 | < MittenNinja> | headlights are your friend |
| 16:31 | < afny> | used most of them in my frames |
| 16:32 | < afny> | well, the ones I found anyway |
| 16:32 | < afny> | i'm sure there's some more in there somewhere... |
| 16:39 | < afny> | man |
| 16:39 | < afny> | I need to get a copy of ZOE 1 |
| 16:48 | < Cedric> | Mhmm. |
| 16:48 | < Cedric> | Random people have random legos, dude. |
| 16:49 | < Cedric> | And no one sorts it. |
| 16:52 | | Cedric is now known as Ceddo |
| 16:53 | <~Noah> | Any of you on Kakrafoon? |
| 16:59 | <~Noah> | Oh SHIT |
| 16:59 | <~Noah> | It's Towel Day! |
| 17:00 | | Noah changed the topic of #mf0 to: Welcome to the (unofficial) channel for Micro Construct Tactics Nova: Mobile Frame Zero: Rapid Attack. | Happy Towel Day! | Logs: http://goo.gl/gcEEk | Beta Rules at Kickstarter: http://goo.gl/AGKp8 | Now on the blagosphere: http://mf0irc.blogspot.com/ |
| 17:00 | < afny> | Oh wow |
| 17:00 | < afny> | it is |
| 17:00 | < afny> | I would've totally forgotten like I do every year |
| 17:00 | < afny> | I literally was just in the bathroom and lamented that I hadn't put a new towel on the rod. I did NOT KNOW WHERE MY TOWEL WAS. |
| 17:00 | < afny> | Despicable. |
| 17:02 | <~Noah> | This day is special for me for a different reason, but I keep forgetting it's Towel Day as well |
| 17:04 | < afny> | Well, I know what I'm building today |
| 17:04 | <~Noah> | The Heart of Gold? |
| 17:04 | <~Noah> | Marvin? |
| 17:04 | <~Noah> | A hitchhiker's guide?! |
| 17:05 | <~Noah> | TELL MEEEE |
| 17:06 | < afny> | http://hitchhikers.wikia.com/wiki/Bistromath |
| 17:07 | <~Noah> | Oh man, do it! |
| 17:07 | < afny> | and maybe a krikkit robot |
| 17:07 | < afny> | though I'd have to scrap some frames |
| 17:07 | <~Noah> | So what, that's why we use legos |
| 17:07 | <~Noah> | MAKE THE SHIP |
| 17:08 | < Ceddo> | I'll just leave this here. |
| 17:08 | < Ceddo> | http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/smartiac/Mmmmmmmocs/Improbability/Exterior/gol dexterior.jpg |
| 17:09 | <~Noah> | Awesome, I forgot someone made that |
| 17:09 | < afny> | haha |
| 17:09 | < afny> | it's pretty spot on |
| 17:09 | <~Noah> | Looks just like a sneaker |
| 17:10 | < afny> | it's DESCRIBED as looking just like a sneaker |
| 17:10 | < afny> | a shining white sneaker |
| 17:10 | <~Noah> | Yup |
| 17:10 | < afny> | I was upset by the design in the new movie |
| 17:10 | < afny> | I actually like the movie a lot, though |
| 17:10 | < afny> | but it should've looked like a sneaker. |
| 17:11 | <~Noah> | Yea, it needed to be a sneaker, I was disappointed too |
| 17:11 | <~Noah> | I take the whole movie more to be...what's it called... |
| 17:11 | <~Noah> | Alternate setting? |
| 17:11 | < afny> | well like |
| 17:11 | < afny> | the thing is, the book itself is an alternate setting |
| 17:11 | < afny> | there's the radio dramas, the books, the original tv show, and the movie |
| 17:12 | <~Noah> | To the radio plays, right |
| 17:12 | < afny> | and none of them are exactly the same |
| 17:12 | < afny> | which is what makes them all acceptable |
| 17:12 | < afny> | every one of them has absolutely incredible bits |
| 17:12 | <~Noah> | As Adams admits in his foreward |
| 17:13 | < afny> | ohhhh |
| 17:13 | < afny> | maybe I actually want to build the ship from Dirk Gently |
| 17:13 | < afny> | I can do both, that one is easy |
| 17:13 | <~Noah> | I didn't get that far with Dirk Gently, my book got ruined |
| 17:13 | < afny> | gaahhh |
| 17:13 | < afny> | I've read it like eight times |
| 17:13 | < afny> | the second one, too |
| 17:13 | < afny> | and "The Salmon of Doubt" |
| 17:13 | <~Noah> | And apparently my library card is barred, will have to drop in and figure out why, since I don't have any late books |
| 17:17 | < afny> | hm |
| 17:17 | < afny> | I found the descriptive passage |
| 17:17 | < afny> | this is going to be fun |
| 17:18 | <~Noah> | Doitdoitdoitdoit |
| 17:32 | < Ceddo> | Fuck. |
| 17:32 | < Ceddo> | This is so sad. |
| 17:32 | < Ceddo> | I accidentially hit the "random page" button on 1d4chan. |
| 17:32 | < Ceddo> | And now I am reading the saddest story about an Ogryn in the Imperial Guard. |
| 17:43 | < afny> | I do not have the right colors |
| 17:43 | < afny> | to make an italian bistro |

| 18:49 | < Ceddo> | Uhm. |
| 18:50 | < Ceddo> | They are made here. |
| 18:50 | < Ceddo> | Legos is from Denmark. |
| 18:50 | < Ceddo> | We have a Legoland entertainment park every 500 kilometres. :D |
| 18:50 | < Ceddo> | Well, not that often. But close. |
| 18:50 | < Ceddo> | Legos is huge over here. |
| 18:51 | < Ceddo> | [19:16:30] <Ceddo> Greg, if you can grab something for substantially cheaper over here, you can have it sent to me and I forward it. |
| 18:51 | < Ceddo> | [19:17:49] <Ceddo> Shipping from Germany to ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD is like US$5, just so you know, if it fits in a bubble mailer. |
| 18:51 | < Ceddo> | Dunno if you saw that. |

| 20:27 | < KarolineDianne> | Well if it isn't the Mof0s. :B |
| 20:27 | < afny> | o/ |
| 20:27 | <~Noah> | It would appear so |
| 20:28 | < KarolineDianne> | I've been rather distracted with Dragon's Dogma. Crippling giant cyclopses with poisoned arrows, then leaping onto their backs to stab them in the head is just too awesome. |
| 20:29 | < KarolineDianne> | I managed to take a screenshot of my character and her pawn, but I kinda messed up and you don't see me too well. I'm kinda turned to the side. But you get a good look at my main follower. |
| 20:29 | < KarolineDianne> | http://sphotos.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash3/s720x720/554297_306411326109939_1583914 806_n.jpg I'm the brown-skinned, white-haired elf. My follower is Isabella, the 6'6 barbarian amazon with a giant sword. |
| 20:29 | < KarolineDianne> | :D |
| 20:29 | < Ceddo> | Your name is Drizztina Dourden. |
| 20:30 | < Ceddo> | You fight with two scimitars. |
| 20:30 | < Ceddo> | Your loyal pet is the panther Gwendoline. |
| 20:30 | < KarolineDianne> | I am not drizzt. |
| 20:30 | < afny> | From what I've heard about that game, it sounds sweet |
| 20:30 | < Ceddo> | YOur father sacrificed himself when your cruel mother wanted to sacrifice you to her evil goddess. |
| 20:30 | < afny> | bits of survival horror, bits of rpg, bits of SotC |
| 20:30 | < afny> | too bad it isn't available for PC |
| 20:30 | < KarolineDianne> | Yeah, going out at night is scary |
| 20:31 | < KarolineDianne> | That does suck, but it probably wouldn't work on my laptop anyway. |
| 20:32 | < KarolineDianne> | And again, I'm not drizzt. I play Fallra, my dark-elf paladin character I use quite frequently. Sadly, there was no way to make her how I wanted, so I took the 'Assassin' class, so that I could have a sword and a bow at the same time. |
| 20:33 | < Ceddo> | Dark elf Paladin. |
| 20:33 | < Ceddo> | Misunderstood past. |
| 20:33 | < Ceddo> | A dark secret. |
| 20:33 | < Ceddo> | Predjudiced against because of her race. |
| 20:33 | < Ceddo> | But her heart of gold will prevail. |
| 20:33 | < KarolineDianne> | See, you're assuming I'm using a Forgotten Realms Drow. |
| 20:33 | < Ceddo> | She will fight the injustice if the world. |
| 20:33 | < afny> | Not going to lie, you're basically saying exactly what I was thinking Ced |
| 20:34 | < KarolineDianne> | And even then, there's Eilistraee, the good aligned drow goddess. |
| 20:34 | < Ceddo> | No, I am mocking you, because I am a sarcastic dick. :D |
| 20:34 | < Ceddo> | But it's all in good fun. Just trying to get a rise out of you. |
| 20:34 | < afny> | Eilistraee, godess of good drow who never wear clothes. |
| 20:34 | < KarolineDianne> | There's an entire subgroup of good aligned drow who live on the surface. |
| 20:34 | < Ceddo> | And Vhaereilistraun is fan service. |
| 20:34 | < afny> | and never wear clothes. |
| 20:34 | < Ceddo> | DROW TITS. |
| 20:34 | < afny> | drow tits |
| 20:34 | | * afny concurs |
| 20:34 | < Ceddo> | Yipp. Fan service. |
| 20:35 | < KarolineDianne> | Hey, they wear clothes, just not when they do their dancing under the moon. |
| 20:35 | < Ceddo> | Boss is Sunelves of the Eldreth Veluthra. |
| 20:35 | < KarolineDianne> | It's part of their worship, I believe. |
| 20:35 | | * Soren chuckles |
| 20:35 | < Ceddo> | So evil, the Seldarine are ashamed. |
| 20:35 | < Soren> | This whole conversation is delightfully ridiculous. |
| 20:35 | < afny> | What can we say. |
| 20:35 | < Ceddo> | Oh, and even good old Sharess has more BAMF to her than Eilis. |
| 20:35 | < Ceddo> | At least she is an aspect of a WARRIOR GODDESS. |
| 20:36 | < Soren> | Doubly so because it makes the bare minimum of sense to me while still being written in a language I actually read. |
| 20:36 | < afny> | And also vaguely egyptian, so there's that. |
| 20:36 | < afny> | I mean you can't go wrong with egyptian flavor. |
| 20:36 | < Ceddo> | Eilis is just a naked drow who was to goody two-shoes to rock the underdark. |
| 20:36 | < Ceddo> | But CB Eilis drow are pretty cool, too. |
| 20:36 | < afny> | and to goody two-shoes to rock a shirt. |
| 20:36 | < Ceddo> | "Kill ALL the Lolth-priestress!" |
| 20:36 | < Ceddo> | True. |
| 20:36 | < afny> | too* |
| 20:36 | < Ceddo> | And panties. |
| 20:36 | < Ceddo> | Or clothes at all. |
| 20:36 | < afny> | Hey Soren, did you see my Bistromath |
| 20:36 | < Soren> | I don't think so. Hang on. |
| 20:37 | < afny> | s'here http://www.flickr.com/photos/kyanosmoros/7269063578/in/photostream |
| 20:37 | < Ceddo> | She's the fanfic/slashfic elf. Dances in the forest, but she is also a DROW. |
| 20:37 | < afny> | I will spam it, I ain't ashamed. |
| 20:37 | < Ceddo> | It is ingenious. |
| 20:37 | < Ceddo> | There is a plant tile. |
| 20:37 | < afny> | indigenous. |
| 20:37 | < Ceddo> | You win. |
| 20:38 | < afny> | I played a half-elf bard that worshiped Eilistraee once |
| 20:39 | < afny> | Not half-drow, just a normal half-elf. But she was like an insane journalist-esque bard with boundary issues. And very mean. |
| 20:39 | < afny> | And she wore clothes. |
| 20:39 | < Ceddo> | My current (online! NWN2!) characters: Rogue4/Scout4/Fighter6 LE Drow, female, rockin' the falchion, with social skills through the roof. |
| 20:39 | < afny> | This bard was on nwn1 |
| 20:39 | < afny> | Are there any good servers for NWN2? |
| 20:39 | < Ceddo> | Bard11, CN, female - a Damarian battlefield scrounger. |
| 20:40 | < afny> | Aww yis, Chaotic Neutral is best Neutral. |
| 20:40 | < Ceddo> | Necromancer 8/Ftr2 (Eldritch Knigth in the making), LE, Wisdom? 8. He be crazy. |
| 20:40 | | * KarolineDianne peers... |
| 20:40 | < Ceddo> | Aaaand ... Warlock 9, Woodelf, CN. She's carrying the family mark of taint by an elder demon. Sad, sad story. |
| 20:41 | < Ceddo> | Very misunderstood, too. |
| 20:41 | < afny> | What kind of server is this |
| 20:41 | < Ceddo> | A server that has been running since 2003. ;) |
| 20:41 | < Ceddo> | But it's in German. So I doubt it'll help you much. |
| 20:41 | < afny> | Ah, damn. |
| 20:41 | < afny> | I could be one of those people that joins and just plays a really low int character as an excuse to not speak the language |
| 20:41 | < afny> | I love those people. |
| 20:42 | < Ceddo> | Well, there is a "no english" rule ... |
| 20:42 | < afny> | I'd just copypaste like three german words |
| 20:42 | < Ceddo> | www.hochwaldallianz.de |
| 20:42 | <~Noah> | Nein Englich Rulen! |
| 20:42 | < Ceddo> | Go buts. |
| 20:42 | < MittenNinja> | or you could just grunt |
| 20:42 | < Ceddo> | I am a reviewer/feedbacker there. |
| 20:43 | < MittenNinja> | emote everything |
| 20:43 | < afny> | ...the emotes would be in english |
| 20:43 | < afny> | i'm literally laughing |
| 20:43 | < Ceddo> | Oh, that's easy. |
| 20:43 | < Ceddo> | " *grunts* " |
| 20:43 | < Soren> | That's a delightfully ridiculous little ship. |
| 20:43 | < Ceddo> | Is: " *grunz* " |
| 20:43 | < afny> | Have you read Life, The Universe, and Everything? It's from that. |
| 20:44 | < Ceddo> | Indeed I have. Numerous times. |
| 20:44 | <~Noah> | Geman is simple; capitalize your nouns, add -ich -lich -ein -ier -en to everything |
| 20:44 | <~Noah> | German rather |
| 20:44 | < afny> | It's a moot point since I don't have NWN2 anyway |
| 20:45 | < Ceddo> | I think I have a spare keyset. |
| 20:45 | < Ceddo> | Oh, or you could just use the best keyset ever. |
| 20:45 | < afny> | Tell me more... |

| 20:46 | < afny> | is it reall |
| 20:46 | < afny> | +y |
| 20:46 | < Ceddo> | They shut down the auth servers. |
| 20:46 | < Ceddo> | It's a free for all. |
| 20:46 | < afny> | wat |

| 20:46 | < afny> | well |
| 20:46 | < afny> | WELP |
| 20:46 | < afny> | guess I'm downloading it. |
| 20:46 | < Ceddo> | Just need a legal keyset to install. |

| 22:46 | < Noah> | And it would appear to be about $5 for 8 histobricks, using the dual 1x1 brick version |
| 22:47 | < Noah> | Enough for a full company |
| 22:48 | < Noah> | And since the book goes only to 5 players, $25 for histobricks for everyone and friends |
| 22:48 | < Noah> | But finding a store that has everything is difficult, so buying one company at a time would probably be easiest |
| 22:48 | < MittenNinja> | histobricks? |
| 22:49 | < Noah> | Oh, sec |

| 22:51 | < Noah> | I think I invented for using minimal dice |
| 22:51 | < Noah> | thing* |
| 22:52 | < MittenNinja> | Oh nice! |
| 22:53 | < MittenNinja> | I didn;t know what you had called it |
| 22:54 | < Noah> | Yea, I figured they looked like little 3d histograms, and went with that |
| 23:26 | | MittenNinja [NSwebIRC@Nightstar-e9df5d72.co.comcast.net] has left #mf0 [""] |
| 23:47 | < Ceddo> | Og fuck wow. |
| 23:47 | < Ceddo> | *Oh |
| 23:47 | < Ceddo> | That Minx 'Frame by A YATES? |
| 23:47 | < Ceddo> | Beast. |
| 23:47 | < Ceddo> | Pure. Beast. |
| 23:47 | < Ceddo> | And SO economic. |
| 23:47 | < Ceddo> | It uses 2 travis bricks. TWO. |
| 23:48 | < Ceddo> | 6 t pieces is all that's iffy. |
| 23:56 | < Noah> | Ced, what's a good number of T bars to start out with, 20? |
| 23:56 | < Ceddo> | I started with ... 16. |
| 23:57 | < Ceddo> | Now I ordered another 80. |
| 23:57 | < Ceddo> | I would say, get 40. |
| 23:57 | < Noah> | 40 then |
| 23:57 | < Ceddo> | That's enough for 10 to 20 'frames. |
| 23:57 | < Ceddo> | A frame usually uses 2 to 4. |
| 23:57 | < Ceddo> | Extremely articulated 'frames use 6. |
| 23:58 | < Noah> | I might do some of those with high articulation |
| 23:59 | < Noah> | I'm setting up a general shopping list of parts I need but done have, as well as stuff I have but need more of |
