| 00:00 | < Soren> | it's a three-dollar piece. |
| 00:00 | < Ceddo> | Or, half golfballs. |
| 00:00 | < afny> | You plop it down where the eye laser goes |
| 00:00 | < afny> | and it's all angry |
| 00:00 | < Ceddo> | Link me! :D |
| 00:00 | < Ceddo> | I am so lost. |
| 00:00 | < afny> | I'm sure you've seen the scrambler, it's one of the most common images |
| 00:00 | < afny> | when you're looking at an Ijad company |
| 00:00 | < Ceddo> | LINK ME. *commanding voice* |
| 00:00 | < afny> | GREEN scramblers would be fucking sick...Ijad jungle combat |
| 00:01 | < afny> | I don't know where it is, what do I look like |
| 00:01 | < afny> | some sort of INTERNET WIZARD |
| 00:01 | < Soren> | https://www.dropbox.com/s/elm4b0g19uy4h1q/Ijad%20Command%20Scrambler%2001.JPG |
| 00:01 | < Soren> | There. |
| 00:01 | < Ceddo> | Actually, that is sweet. |
| 00:01 | < Ceddo> | What ... are his weapons? |
| 00:01 | < Ceddo> | Are there any? D: |
| 00:01 | < Ceddo> | Nah, he's YYBG, eh? |
| 00:02 | < Soren> | he's got a single HtH weapon, too. |
| 00:02 | < Soren> | uses the green D8 for movement. |
| 00:02 | < Soren> | So, yeah, I'll put one of those in the bag |
| 00:03 | < Ceddo> | Mhmm, sounds good. What colour? |
| 00:03 | < Soren> | The other mask fits over the same mount, but it's green and a different shape. |
| 00:03 | < Soren> | white. |
| 00:03 | < Ceddo> | Y'know ... I am thinking ... that pink and purple stuff shouldn't be toooo expensive, right? |
| 00:03 | < Soren> | nope! |
| 00:03 | < Ceddo> | Because, while the source is rare, the demand is, too. |
| 00:03 | < Ceddo> | I might just gear up a pink/purple Ijad company. |
| 00:04 | < Soren> | more or less. It's middle-of-the-road |
| 00:04 | < afny> | I'm really envious of those pink accents |
| 00:04 | < Ceddo> | And have them there to appeal to girl gamers. :D |
| 00:04 | | * Ceddo thinks longterm! |
| 00:04 | < Soren> | that's actually just from some $12 friends sets. |
| 00:04 | < Soren> | it's gotten pretty cheap. |
| 00:05 | < Ceddo> | Okay, got 'em bagged up. |
| 00:05 | < Ceddo> | PM me your address on the boards, and I will mail it out tomorrow. |
| 00:05 | < Soren> | But yeah, I offered one of the Custom Company buyers this scheme and he wasn't down. |
| 00:05 | < Soren> | So I did it for me :D |
| 00:05 | < Ceddo> | It's a letter, so it should be there within like 5 to 8 days. |
| 00:05 | < Ceddo> | Anything else you could need? |
| 00:06 | < Soren> | The day I run out of 1x1s with five studs is unlikely to come. In fact, I'll pack four of those for you too. |
| 00:06 | < afny> | He missed out |
| 00:06 | < Ceddo> | Bwaha. :D |
| 00:06 | < Ceddo> | Thanks. |
| 00:06 | < Ceddo> | I keep ordering them. |
| 00:06 | < afny> | Too afraid of the pink. You know what else has pink accents? |
| 00:06 | < Ceddo> | I have used up almost all of mine. |
| 00:06 | < afny> | Fucking Zakus, that's what. |
| 00:06 | < Soren> | precisely. |
| 00:07 | < Ceddo> | Ugh, I think I may have to glue the Elder Naga. |
| 00:07 | < Ceddo> | The torso to pelvis connection is just not stable at fucking all. |
| 00:08 | < Ceddo> | I'd kill one 1x1 clip plate and a travis brick doing that, but it's worth it - I like the frame. Looks beastly. |
| 00:08 | < afny> | glue is cheating |
| 00:08 | < afny> | CHEATING |
| 00:08 | < Ceddo> | Soren: I'mma build a purple/pink Ijad company. |
| 00:08 | < Soren> | heee. |
| 00:08 | < Ceddo> | It's settled. |
| 00:08 | < Soren> | go for it! |
| 00:08 | < Soren> | I put four each of the 1x1 purple rounds and the trans-purple cones in your bag. |
| 00:09 | < Soren> | plus 12 1x2 new gray tiles, because holy BALLS do I have a lot of them. |
| 00:10 | < Ceddo> | Bwaha. Yay! |
| 00:10 | < Ceddo> | Now I need to ponder what I want the company to be like. Hngh. |
| 00:10 | < Soren> | I'll see what's left over when the custom companies are done and give you a scoop of that as well. |
| 00:10 | < Ceddo> | I am quite set in my perception of efficiency. :/ |
| 00:11 | < Ceddo> | Sweet! Now I feel bad. :D |
| 00:11 | < Ceddo> | Uhm. |
| 00:11 | < Ceddo> | I got an idea. |
| 00:11 | < Soren> | pff. You build cool shit. |
| 00:11 | < Soren> | Supplying you with parts is free promo for me. |
| 00:11 | < Ceddo> | Heh. *bow* |
| 00:11 | < Soren> | ;) |
| 00:11 | < Ceddo> | I'll find a sparkling new German Euro coin for ya. |
| 00:12 | < Ceddo> | Don't put a dollar bill into the package, though. The coke lacing would rise the drug dogs. |
| 00:12 | < Soren> | hah, yeah. |
| 00:12 | < Ceddo> | Alright. |
| 00:12 | < Ceddo> | It's 1:12am. |
| 00:12 | < afny> | Most of our money is actually grown in Mexico and smuggled over the border. |
| 00:13 | < Ceddo> | Need to get up at 6:00ish, be at work at ... OH WAIT. |
| 00:13 | < Ceddo> | I don't have early shift. |
| 00:13 | < Ceddo> | ALMOST went to work too early. |
| 00:13 | | * Ceddo celebrates. |
| 00:13 | < Soren> | hee |
| 00:13 | < Ceddo> | I have middle shift. 8am to 4pm. Though I'll skip lunch and leave at 3:30. |
| 00:13 | < Soren> | Actually, I might have some little trans-pink haret pieces. |
| 00:13 | < Soren> | heart* |
| 00:14 | < Ceddo> | You're killing me. |
| 00:14 | | * Soren is typing like a cunt again... |
| 00:14 | < Ceddo> | I will find a befitting name. |
| 00:14 | < Soren> | or would you prefer the trans-purple star? |
| 00:14 | < Ceddo> | Covenant of the Everlasting Congregation. |
| 00:14 | < Soren> | :D |
| 00:14 | < Ceddo> | The star wand thingey? Or a star that I can actually slap on a stud? |
| 00:14 | < Ceddo> | Because, the latter would be cool. :D |
| 00:15 | < Soren> | it slaps on a stud |
| 00:15 | < afny> | I have been trying to work in a trans-red star wand |
| 00:15 | < afny> | for some time now |
| 00:15 | < Ceddo> | SNATCHED! |
| 00:15 | < Ceddo> | Assembly of the Understanding Council. |
| 00:15 | < Soren> | Oh, I also have purple fire. |
| 00:15 | < Ceddo> | *rubs chin* I need more wonky names. |
| 00:15 | < Soren> | I'll throw in two pieces of that. |
| 00:16 | < Ceddo> | Oh, good god. That's so sweet. Totes building a Scrambler that throw PURPLE FLAMES. |
| 00:16 | < Soren> | That should even us up! |
| 00:16 | < Soren> | yeah. |
| 00:16 | < Soren> | I got a bunch of it a while ago. |
| 00:16 | < Ceddo> | It's like your my drug dealer. |
| 00:16 | < Ceddo> | Giving me a bit of that, a bit of this. |
| 00:16 | < Ceddo> | AND I WILL NEED MORE. |
| 00:16 | < Ceddo> | AND MY HUNGER WILL NEED TO BE SATED. |
| 00:16 | < Soren> | I'm strongly considering the bunch of us setting up a Bricklink store. |
| 00:16 | < Ceddo> | Well, two. |
| 00:17 | < Ceddo> | MFZ US, MFZ EU. |
| 00:17 | < Ceddo> | And then crosslink. |
| 00:17 | < Soren> | Well, I'll be in SEA, so we'd still need a US partner. |
| 00:17 | < Ceddo> | Oh, true, you are in Asiana. |
| 00:17 | < Ceddo> | Greg, maybe. |
| 00:17 | < afny> | Didn't Mitten basically say he was already gonna |
| 00:17 | < afny> | yeah |
| 00:17 | < Soren> | well, will be in three weeks. |
| 00:17 | < Ceddo> | But those stores are a bitch to maintain. |
| 00:17 | < Ceddo> | As in, lotsa manhours. |
| 00:17 | < Soren> | yeah. |
| 00:18 | < Ceddo> | And I somewhat doubt it'll MAKE cash, just because ... you need starting inventory. |
| 00:18 | < Soren> | We could password it and give out the PW only to other MoF0s |
| 00:18 | < Ceddo> | Oh, that would be cool. |
| 00:18 | < Soren> | I've got starting inventory: extra parts from customs + Spec eds. |
| 00:18 | < Soren> | :D |
| 00:18 | < Ceddo> | So it would be Garage Store, ectually. |
| 00:18 | < Ceddo> | Well, YOU. |
| 00:18 | < Soren> | we could definitely specialize. |
| 00:18 | < afny> | Does bricklink have a trade system? |
| 00:18 | < Ceddo> | Me? A month ago, I had nada. Zip. Niente. |
| 00:18 | < afny> | Seems like a lot of MoF0's might want to trade extra parts |
| 00:19 | < Ceddo> | I haven't touch Lego in ... a decade. |
| 00:19 | < Ceddo> | Trading blows for ONE simple reason. |
| 00:19 | < Soren> | Yeah, it's a thought. Maybe at some later date when we've got extra bits. |
| 00:19 | < Ceddo> | What Mr. Roberts and I indulging in is a gentlemanly exchange out of happenstance. |
| 00:19 | < Ceddo> | We aren't looking at the parts and bite our nails. |
| 00:19 | < Soren> | it's true. |
| 00:19 | < afny> | No, I didn't mean what was happening here |
| 00:19 | < Ceddo> | We're not on the Battlenet, were Soren could dupe my purple flame! |
| 00:19 | < Ceddo> | But Jack is a pincher. |
| 00:20 | < Ceddo> | And Joe is a shark. |
| 00:20 | < Ceddo> | They fuck over little Jimmy. |
| 00:20 | < Ceddo> | Because Jimmy don't know his Bionicle mask is $3. |
| 00:20 | < Ceddo> | And now Jimmy has 10 headlight bricks and some claws. |
| 00:20 | < Ceddo> | And Joe snatched the mask. |
| 00:20 | < Ceddo> | Because Joa, afny ... Joe is no gentleman. |
| 00:21 | < Ceddo> | Hence, trading breeds animosity. |
| 00:21 | < Ceddo> | I played MtG for too fucking long to not know what comes of that. |
| 00:21 | < Ceddo> | Trading with gentlemen is a fine thing and highly enjoyable. |
| 00:21 | < Ceddo> | Trading with strangers is a mindfield of upfuckery. :D |
| 00:21 | < Soren> | this is true. |
| 00:22 | < afny> | I wasn't really imagining trading with strangers, but you definitely have a point |

| 00:24 | < Soren> | hello! |
| 00:25 | < Dukayn> | Hola |
| 00:25 | < afny> | o/ |
| 00:26 | < Dukayn> | How y'all doin? |
| 00:27 | < afny> | Dying of heat stroke. |
| 00:27 | < afny> | Turns out it's summer all of a sudden. |
| 00:42 | | afny [kevinvankir@Nightstar-42c41d95.res.rr.com] has quit [Connection closed] |
| 00:43 | < Ceddo> | Heya Dukey! |
| 00:43 | < Ceddo> | Soren: My roomie is hilarious. |
| 00:43 | | kevinvankirk [kevinvankir@Nightstar-42c41d95.res.rr.com] has joined #mf0 |
| 00:43 | | kevinvankirk is now known as afny |
| 00:44 | < Ceddo> | I'm planning his 'frames and he goes: "Dude. That's a hammer, not an antenna." - "Yeah, but it needs something for the spotting system." - "But that's a hammer." |
| 00:44 | < Ceddo> | He just keeps egging me on to make shit bigger. |
| 00:45 | | afny_ [afny@Nightstar-42c41d95.res.rr.com] has quit [Client closed the connection] |
| 00:45 | < Soren> | haha. |
| 00:46 | < Ceddo> | And he keeps calling the Minxes "Lollerskates". :D |
| 00:47 | < Ceddo> | Soren: https://www.facebook.com/ced23ric/posts/395779243801652 |
| 00:47 | < Ceddo> | It works. |
| 00:48 | < Ceddo> | Mhmm. |
| 00:48 | < Ceddo> | Now I find myself debating a Vertitank approach. |
| 00:49 | < Ceddo> | Maybe I just slap a massive, massive cannon on the back of that 'frame. |
| 00:49 | < Ceddo> | And give him two machine pistols (for the 2d6). |
| 00:49 | < afny> | Why not PLASMA pistols |
| 00:49 | < Ceddo> | Oh. |
| 00:49 | < Ceddo> | Oh, you. |
| 00:49 | < Ceddo> | Oh, yes! |
| 00:49 | < Ceddo> | Okay, how to plasma pistol... |
| 00:50 | < afny> | (now you're thinking with plasma) |
| 00:50 | < afny> | Well it's not an elegant solution but I made some plasma pistols here |
| 00:50 | < afny> | http://www.flickr.com/photos/kyanosmoros/7219929464/in/set-72157629897328224 |
| 00:51 | < Ceddo> | Mhmm. |
| 00:51 | < afny> | those parts are a bit weird though |
| 00:51 | < Ceddo> | I'll toy around a bit. |
| 00:51 | < afny> | you could make a better thing if you used a tap as a handle |
| 00:52 | < afny> | hm, I think I'm actually going to liberate those butts |
| 00:52 | < afny> | from that frame |
| 00:52 | < afny> | and make another Nimrod |
| 00:52 | | * afny liberates butts all DAY. |
| 00:53 | < Ceddo> | Dude, I was switched back from LDD and wanted to say: "I'LL USE A MOTOR." |
| 00:53 | < Ceddo> | Now I think it was fate. |
| 00:53 | < Ceddo> | Motor it is. |
| 00:54 | < afny> | It was meant to be. |
| 00:57 | < Ceddo> | Okay. |
| 00:57 | < Ceddo> | How is that? |
| 00:57 | < Ceddo> | http://www.ced23ric.de/stuff/mf0/plasma.png |
| 00:58 | < Ceddo> | Haha, Facebook. Buddy of mine on my 'frames album: "This stuff is amazing, what is it!" - "It's a strategy game where you build your stuff out of Legos, fight in Lego terrain, and as cover, buildings and 'frames take damage, you rip off parts." - "So its like when you explained Warcraft to me, but now its with Lego? That's actually awesome." |
| 00:59 | < Ceddo> | I explained Warhmmer 40k to him. :D |
| 01:00 | < Dukayn> | Dude, dat pistol |
| 01:00 | < Dukayn> | Sorry, was AFK as kids were being picked up by their grandparents then had to pick up the missus from the local school where she volunteers. |
| 01:00 | < Ceddo> | It's a plasma pistol! |
| 01:01 | < Dukayn> | It's sexy |
| 01:01 | < Dukayn> | Can't say I've seen those little bulb domey things used before |
| 01:01 | < Ceddo> | Dude, lemme take a picture of what I am planning right now. :D |
| 01:01 | < Ceddo> | It's the company of my roomie. |
| 01:01 | < Ceddo> | Who said: "If you build me a bunch of Lollerskates, I play with you." |
| 01:01 | < Ceddo> | ... he meant AYI's VT22 Minxes, with the wheel-heels. :D |
| 01:01 | < Dukayn> | LAWL |
| 01:01 | < Dukayn> | Lollerskates, I like it |
| 01:02 | < afny> | What are the little clear round nubs |
| 01:02 | < afny> | they look like antennae holders without the slot |
| 01:02 | < Ceddo> | afny: Some odd globes. |
| 01:03 | < Ceddo> | Back in the day, they came without sticks. And you pushed them over the 9V blocks. |
| 01:03 | < Ceddo> | Like, over the siren set of the 9V blocks. |
| 01:03 | < Soren> | You know, maybe I'm just a freak. But I look at the little crosswise cylinder under the muzzle and I think 'scrotum'. |
| 01:03 | < Ceddo> | Soren: It's clearly a plasma chamber compensation retriangulation counterspin irrigation convulexer. |
| 01:04 | < Dukayn> | LOL |
| 01:04 | < Ceddo> | Also: http://www.ced23ric.de/stuff/mf0/nightraiders.png |
| 01:04 | < Dukayn> | And now I remember those globes |
| 01:04 | < Soren> | I prefer 'reflex nutsackulator'. |
| 01:04 | < Dukayn> | My brother had the fire station back when we were kids, had a few of them |
| 01:04 | < Dukayn> | Those are nice, Ced |
| 01:04 | < Ceddo> | Dude, you just ruined THE ONLY GREEBLES on the entire gun. |
| 01:05 | < Ceddo> | Now you have to help me come up with a 1d8 weapon system. |
| 01:05 | < Ceddo> | Each pistol is 1d6. |
| 01:05 | < Ceddo> | What does 1d8 look like? |
| 01:05 | < Ceddo> | Hardpoint? The back of the massive hull, at the end of the head. |
| 01:06 | < Ceddo> | We have 2x3 to work with as a base. |
| 01:06 | < Ceddo> | (You kinda see the 'frame to the far right.) |
| 01:09 | < Dukayn> | You could make each pistol be 2d6, meaning that having both gives you your 2d6+d8 |
| 01:10 | < Ceddo> | Yes. I could. |
| 01:10 | < Ceddo> | But that vilate stipulation #1 of build this company. |
| 01:10 | < Dukayn> | But you wanna add a big-ass gun don't you :P |
| 01:10 | < Ceddo> | "Imagine a private company would intend to support the ISS. And they need a rocket to do that. Now build something that carries that rocket. One handed." |
| 01:10 | < Ceddo> | That's a direct translation. |
| 01:11 | < Dukayn> | lol |
| 01:13 | < Ceddo> | So yeah. |
| 01:13 | < Ceddo> | I want a big ass gun. :D |
| 01:13 | < afny> | well you've already got a small ballsack |
| 01:14 | < afny> | so a big ass gun should balance it out nicely |
| 01:14 | < Dukayn> | I'm clicking that line of chat but it's not letting me "Like" it. |
| 01:14 | < afny> | In all seriousness, though, you should mount a minigun on its back. |
| 01:14 | < afny> | ...a...plasma minigun., |
| 01:15 | < Dukayn> | :-O |
| 01:17 | < Ceddo> | ... :O |
| 01:17 | < Ceddo> | *ponders* |
| 01:17 | < Ceddo> | 4 MOTORS WILL DO NICELY. |
| 01:22 | < Ceddo> | Actually, that might be too big. |
| 01:22 | < Ceddo> | But what I need is one big ass gun. |
| 01:27 | < Dukayn> | http://www.dukayn.net/MFZ/PlasmaGatling.png ? |
| 01:29 | < Ceddo> | This pleases Gaga. |
| 01:29 | < Ceddo> | You gave me inspiration. |
| 01:29 | < Ceddo> | It may be time to revive the gatling maser. |
| 01:31 | < Dukayn> | I figured it'd be somewhat impractical given those 1x1 round plates with open stud seem kinda rare :P |
| 01:33 | | afny is now known as afny|out |
| 01:33 | < Ceddo> | I have about 30 here. |
| 01:33 | < Ceddo> | And ordered another 40. |
| 01:33 | < Dukayn> | Ah ok. Maybe it's just rare in the Aus shops heh |
| 01:33 | < Ceddo> | :D |
| 01:34 | < Ceddo> | I think I need launchers. |
| 01:34 | < Ceddo> | SRM launchers. |
| 01:35 | < Dukayn> | You love your SRMs don't you |
| 01:35 | < Ceddo> | Those are so sweet to do for microscale ships with awesome alternating staggered launchports. |
| 01:35 | < Ceddo> | SRMs and LRMs are just beuatiful. |
| 01:35 | < Ceddo> | Got a few tons free on a Mech? |
| 01:35 | < Ceddo> | SRMs! |
| 01:35 | < Ceddo> | I used to play MW3 and try to find the config with the most LRMs possible. |
| 01:35 | < Ceddo> | It would one-shot other Mechs. |
| 01:36 | < Ceddo> | But how was hilarious. |
| 01:36 | < Ceddo> | Push the fire button, instant overheat. |
| 01:36 | < Ceddo> | But there's like 180 missiles in the air. |
| 01:36 | < Ceddo> | CARPET BOMBING. |
| 01:36 | < Dukayn> | lol |
| 01:36 | < Ceddo> | But the best congif of MW4 was stupid. |
| 01:36 | < Ceddo> | *config |
| 01:37 | < Ceddo> | It worked in campaign, against clanners and in Solaris. Always. And in all addons. |
| 01:37 | < Ceddo> | It's so simple, you'll rub your head. |
| 01:37 | < Ceddo> | LBX AC10. Practically a shotgun with a range of 250m. Stuff as many as possible on a Mech and go win at everything forever. The rest is armor, ammo, engines and jumpjets. |
| 01:38 | < Ceddo> | 1 on a Puma, 2 on a Ryoken, 3 on a Summoner, 4 on a ... Fafnir. |
| 01:38 | < Dukayn> | I haven't played a MW game since MW2, so :) |
| 01:38 | < Ceddo> | They would destroy anything in their weightclass. |
| 01:38 | < Ceddo> | And one up, too. |
| 01:38 | < Ceddo> | Just walk towards your target and keep firing that LBX AC 10. |
| 01:39 | < Ceddo> | Chews through armor like it's butter. |
| 01:39 | < Ceddo> | In MW3, it was even worse. |
| 01:39 | < Ceddo> | LBX had knockback. |
| 01:39 | < Ceddo> | And even LBX2 (2 *!!!!!*) volleys could knockover a Mech. |
| 01:39 | < Ceddo> | There, LBX5 was the gun to go to. |
| 01:40 | < Ceddo> | Just take two and fire at 450m, alternating with both cannons, and knock EVERYTHING over. |
| 01:40 | < Ceddo> | Mech on the ground no shoot you. |
| 01:40 | < Ceddo> | That was the reason why the Annihilator (who had 4 LBX AC10) was the toughest fight of the game. |
| 01:40 | < Ceddo> | Not because he has armor. Is 100 tons. Or you are a 55 ton Bushwacker. No. |
| 01:41 | < Ceddo> | Because you would scrub the floor with your face for 10 minutes and hope your lancemates finish him before he finishes you. |
| 01:41 | < Dukayn> | Sounds fun |
| 01:41 | < Dukayn> | :/ |
| 01:42 | < Ceddo> | You fought him INSIDE a steel plant, in between conveyor belts. |
| 01:42 | < Ceddo> | Where he was SO close. |
| 01:42 | < Ceddo> | But you couldn't bring only close range weapons. |
| 01:42 | < Ceddo> | Because right before you got there, you had to fight three artillery mechs in an open field... |
| 01:42 | < Dukayn> | lol |
| 01:48 | < Ceddo> | Ugh, fuck it. He gets some rocket pods and I am done here. |
| 01:53 | < Ceddo> | Bwahahaha. |
| 01:53 | < Ceddo> | So I took the 2x6 missile pod OFF the arty 'frames ... |
| 01:54 | < Ceddo> | Made it 2x4 and slapped it on the 2d6 +1d8 'frame, as dumbfire missiles. |
| 01:54 | < Dukayn> | Cool cool |
| 01:54 | < Ceddo> | But now the launcher was there, and the arty 'frames had a launcher that was barely larger. |
| 01:54 | < Ceddo> | Then I found a new part - the wider angled roof slope. |
| 01:55 | < Ceddo> | Instead of a flat 60?, that was a harsh 45?. |
| 01:55 | < Ceddo> | And then, the overhanging tip of that set. |
| 01:55 | < Ceddo> | Dude, this launcher is insanve. |
| 01:55 | < Ceddo> | Lemme make a screenie. |
| 01:57 | | afny|out is now known as afny |
| 01:57 | < afny> | back |
| 01:57 | < Ceddo> | It's preposterous. |
| 01:57 | < Ceddo> | Fuck. |
| 01:57 | < Ceddo> | This is too much. |
| 01:57 | < Ceddo> | Bahahaha. |
| 01:58 | < Ceddo> | IT'S LARGER THAN A CHUB. |
| 01:58 | < Dukayn> | The gun?! |
| 01:58 | < Dukayn> | Lemme see lemme see~ |
| 01:58 | < Dukayn> | ! |

| 01:59 | < afny> | what the. |
| 01:59 | < Dukayn> | Bah, that's fine |
| 01:59 | < Ceddo> | :D |
| 01:59 | < Ceddo> | Time to kill my laptop. |
| 01:59 | < Ceddo> | *clicks "Generate Build Guide"* |
| 01:59 | < Ceddo> | 1300 bricks. |
| 01:59 | < Ceddo> | Going for a smoke. :D |
| 02:00 | < Dukayn> | lol |
| 02:03 | < Ceddo> | 398 steps. |
| 02:03 | < Ceddo> | AWESOME. |
| 02:03 | < Ceddo> | LET'S WATCH THEM ALL. |
| 02:03 | < Dukayn> | hahahahahahaha |
| 02:04 | < Ceddo> | Step 49. First Frame /wo gun and back module done. |
| 02:04 | < Ceddo> | LOL. |
| 02:05 | < Ceddo> | Step 71. The first launcher is installed. :D |
| 02:05 | < Ceddo> | Next step: Save as HTML list. |
| 02:05 | < Ceddo> | THis is fucking insane. :D |
| 02:05 | < Ceddo> | Still saving. |
| 02:05 | < Ceddo> | Still ... yeah, still saving. |
| 02:06 | < Ceddo> | Bahahahaha. |
| 02:06 | < Ceddo> | I wanna know how BIG this HTML guide is. |
| 02:06 | < Ceddo> | Yupp. 5MB of images. No biggie. |
| 02:07 | < Ceddo> | To further entertain me, I will now upload this insane list. :D |
| 02:08 | < Ceddo> | 484 files. Yupp. That's how I roll. |
| 02:09 | < Ceddo> | Travis count: 32. |
| 02:09 | < Ceddo> | T pieces: 42. |
| 02:09 | < Ceddo> | Claws: 12 |
| 02:09 | < Ceddo> | Headlight bricks: 48. |
| 02:09 | < Ceddo> | 1 stud bricks: 52. |
| 02:10 | < afny> | how many travis bricks does a normal MINX use? |
| 02:10 | < Ceddo> | Look for yourself: http://www.ced23ric.de/stuff/mf0/vt22_nightraider/ |
| 02:11 | < Ceddo> | afny: I think ... two. |
| 02:11 | < afny> | Wow what |
| 02:11 | < Ceddo> | But even those can be replaced with 2 studs. They aren't necessary, just add stability for the hull. |
| 02:11 | < afny> | so where are all those coming from |
| 02:13 | < Ceddo> | Backmodules - 5x 2; 2x 2 in assault rifles, 6x 2 in the heels for the larger wheels that I am using over the standard Minx, 6x 1 internally for stability ... |
| 02:14 | < Ceddo> | Which is a total of 10 + 4 + 12 +6 = 32. |
| 02:14 | < Ceddo> | Could ramp it up to 38 and use two travis bricks internally. |
| 02:14 | < Ceddo> | Or get it down to 24, if I sacrifice some internal stability. |
| 02:14 | < Soren> | But that would be silly. |
| 02:14 | < Ceddo> | Soren. |
| 02:15 | < Ceddo> | Lookit my arty launchers. |
| 02:15 | < Soren> | I did. |
| 02:15 | < Ceddo> | You say. |
| 02:15 | < Soren> | Then I looked in my pants, and felt inadequate. |
| 02:15 | < afny> | I think you should call them "Hot Pockets" |
| 02:15 | < Ceddo> | Very good. Mission accomplished, then. |
| 02:15 | < Ceddo> | Nah. Those are "Northern Mythology"-class. |
| 02:16 | < Ceddo> | MJOLNIR Tactical Long Range Warhead Deliverance System. |
| 02:16 | < Ceddo> | VALHALLA Plasma Disintegrator Projection Handcannons. |
| 02:16 | < Ceddo> | LOKI 53mm Gyrojet Assault Rifle. |
| 02:16 | < afny> | awww yis naming things after mythology |
| 02:17 | < Ceddo> | ODIN Dumbfire Rocket Pods. |
| 02:17 | < Ceddo> | And so on. |
| 02:17 | < afny> | That's a good one |
| 02:17 | < afny> | BECAUSE HE ONLY HAD ONE EYE. |
| 02:17 | < Ceddo> | HA. |
| 02:17 | < Ceddo> | I'll do some research. |
| 02:17 | < Ceddo> | Those ICMB launchers need some love. |
| 02:17 | < Ceddo> | *ICBM |
| 02:18 | < afny> | I've used mostly Greek callsigns so far |
| 02:18 | < Ceddo> | And I need some shut eye. |
| 02:18 | < Ceddo> | It's 3:18am, gotta get up at 7. :D |

| 02:52 | <~Noah> | Oy |
| 02:52 | < Soren> | yo. |
| 02:53 | < afny> | o/ |
| 02:54 | <~Noah> | Been a busy day |
| 02:56 | <~Noah> | But at least I got my invoice today, so more bricks in the mail soon, woo |
| 03:09 | < Soren> | yay! |
| 03:14 | < afny> | alright, so I made a frame with a giant direct fire gun |
| 03:14 | < afny> | and now I don't know what else to add |
| 03:14 | < afny> | it's like |
| 03:14 | < afny> | got two small back mounts |
| 03:14 | < afny> | and one heavy mount on the left side |
| 03:15 | < afny> | and it's red. |
| 03:15 | < Soren> | When in doubt, missiles. |
| 03:15 | < afny> | missiles it is. |
| 03:32 | < afny> | Don't know whether to make this one another split range attacker with three weapons systems and a defense system |
| 03:32 | < afny> | or just two direct fire, a green, and a yellow |
| 03:32 | < Soren> | I'm torn abotu those. |
| 03:32 | < Soren> | about* |
| 03:33 | < Soren> | I think if you have one you should have two, but beyond two I think it's gotta be specialists. |
| 03:34 | < afny> | I so wish I had something other than red and black to work with for this frame |
| 03:42 | < Soren> | I hear you. |
| 03:42 | < afny> | So you prefer a green over a blue |
| 03:42 | < afny> | on a 2x direct fire spotter? |
| 03:43 | < Soren> | I'm not sure. |
| 03:43 | < afny> | Well I'm going to call this a blue |
| 03:43 | < Soren> | no blues on a Direct design is really vulnerable. |
| 03:43 | < Soren> | But slow Direct gets cut up. |
| 03:44 | < afny> | I think a blue is definitely better if you're the defender |
| 03:45 | < Soren> | Well, the thing Blues let you do is wade out there and get shot up. |
| 03:45 | < afny> | yeah |
| 03:45 | < afny> | true |
| 03:45 | < afny> | so not bad for offense either |
| 03:45 | < Soren> | not at all bad for offense. |
| 03:46 | < Soren> | in fact, preferable for offense. |
| 03:46 | < afny> | Okay, so |
| 03:46 | < afny> | all my color senses tell me no, but |
| 03:46 | < afny> | bright red and tan. |
| 03:46 | < afny> | Can it be done. |
| 03:47 | < Soren> | It can, but delicately. |
| 03:47 | < Soren> | If you have enough to sequester them in different parts of the model. |
| 03:48 | < afny> | yeah, that's the plan |
| 03:48 | < afny> | I dont know I thought I had two dark gray slopes but I can't find them |
| 03:48 | < Soren> | then you should be good. |
| 03:48 | < afny> | so I might use tan |
| 03:53 | < afny> | yeah, definitely better than the red |

| 04:07 | < KarolineDianne> | He is pretty amazing. |
| 04:08 | < KarolineDianne> | This one's my favorite, I just posted that one first because it shows how he does it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WhBoR_tgXCI&feature=relmfu |
| 04:10 | < afny> | http://www.flickr.com/photos/kyanosmoros/7292082920/in/photostream/lightbox/ |
| 04:11 | < afny> | hm...the lightbox for this one is broken, I'll have to reupload it...http://www.flickr.com/photos/kyanosmoros/7292081816/in/photostream/ |
| 04:12 | < KarolineDianne> | Afny I really love your designs. |
| 04:12 | < afny> | The secret, and I say this with no hint of comedy |
| 04:12 | < afny> | is motors and butts. |
| 04:13 | < afny> | I totally stole that gun, though |
| 04:13 | < afny> | from this guy |
| 04:13 | < afny> | http://www.flickr.com/photos/colins-pics/7272975726/in/faves-kyanosmoros/ |
| 04:14 | < KarolineDianne> | Hee |
| 04:15 | < afny> | I sort of want to field a company of all of those frames but they really kind of suck at melee |
| 04:19 | < Soren> | Yeah, I'm coming to the conclusion that you need at least one melee weapon around to play a really effective game. |
| 04:20 | < Soren> | otherwise it's too hard to peel guys off stations. |
| 04:20 | < KarolineDianne> | I brought one of my HtH/D split range guys once. He killed two enemies before going down. |
| 04:20 | < Soren> | I could see it. |
| 04:20 | < afny> | I've tried two frames with melee consideration with that basic design; one used pile bunkers and the other just used a big anime sword. Neither one looked very good. |
| 04:21 | < afny> | whats a hth/d split range weapon? |
| 04:21 | < afny> | I mean, what did you use for it? |
| 04:21 | < Soren> | Try a cavalry lance |
| 04:21 | < afny> | that's kind of what this one was: http://www.flickr.com/photos/kyanosmoros/7207515646/in/set-72157629897328224/lig htbox/ |
| 04:22 | < afny> | it just seems like it wouldn't stand a change at melee range with something more humanoid |
| 04:22 | < KarolineDianne> | Hand to hand/direct |
| 04:22 | < KarolineDianne> | It was a flamethrower that switched to a giant cutting torch in melee. |
| 04:22 | < afny> | I really have to line up my bricks before I take photos... |
| 04:26 | < Soren> | I can atke a picture of my cupful of HTH weapons. |
| 04:26 | < Soren> | take* |
| 04:26 | < afny> | Ooh |
| 04:26 | < afny> | The best part of waking up |
| 04:27 | < Soren> | indeed |
| 04:27 | < KarolineDianne> | Pfft |
| 04:27 | < afny> | PFFT? |
| 04:29 | < afny> | I really need to stop building frames with round 2x2 bricks and round 2x2 tiles and just calling it ECM |
| 04:29 | < afny> | It's such a crutch |
| 04:31 | < KarolineDianne> | Hey, it works. |
| 04:32 | < Soren> | it is, but - yeah, a wrokable crutch |
| 04:32 | < Soren> | workable* |
| 04:32 | < KarolineDianne> | And it's easier to pull off when you lose blue dice than 'armor' or 'reinforced frame' is. |
| 04:32 | < KarolineDianne> | Because... What would count as those...? The EMC is easy. |
| 04:32 | < afny> | yeah, true |
| 04:32 | < afny> | hey, do either of you build in your first white die to lose? |
| 04:32 | < afny> | I mean, do you have a specific part on a frame that you are like |
| 04:32 | < afny> | THIS is what I rip off when I lose my first white die |
| 04:33 | < afny> | or do you just rip off an arm |
| 04:33 | < Soren> | I usually do damage to the cockpit. |
| 04:34 | < KarolineDianne> | I actually don't. |
| 04:34 | < KarolineDianne> | Most of my frames don't even have arms. |
| 04:34 | < afny> | My best "battle damage" idea was to just rip off the diver's mask on my frames that have them |
| 04:34 | < KarolineDianne> | Only the UF series has arms, and that's because they're labor frames, not combat frames. |
| 04:34 | < afny> | so it looks like their sensor faceplate got wrecked |
| 04:35 | < afny> | my labor frames only have tiny nubbins where the weapons mount on |
| 04:35 | < afny> | vestigial arms, if you will |
| 04:39 | < Soren> | https://www.dropbox.com/s/37f30nub0p1et4o/HtH%2C%20One-shots.jpg |
| 04:40 | < afny> | yeah, I'll definitely have to make some of those spears... |
| 04:40 | < afny> | I have them in brown or trans-light blue |
| 04:40 | < afny> | maybe some black too if I dig for them |
| 04:41 | < afny> | I really dig those claymores |
| 04:41 | < Soren> | ty |
| 04:41 | < afny> | the square hilt really sells it |
| 04:41 | < Soren> | I have ambitions of some crazy FSS designs that will need them. |
| 04:49 | < afny> | ohhh no I just realized |
| 04:49 | < afny> | I didn't order any orange round 1 x 1s |
| 04:49 | < afny> | and I used my last one on that frame |
| 04:49 | < Soren> | if you haven't been invoiced yet, you can add to your order. |
| 04:50 | < afny> | I just got my last invoice |
| 04:50 | < afny> | I'd been adding to that order for days...that's how that guy got me |
| 04:50 | < afny> | didn't invoice for three days |
| 04:50 | < afny> | I spent like 15 extra dollars. |
| 04:50 | < afny> | Oh well, I have enough for scopes for a company at least |
| 04:50 | < afny> | I haven't used them for much else |
| 05:12 | < afny> | Feeling kind of sick, I'm gonna head off |

| 07:09 | < Ceddo> | You are most welcome! |
| 07:10 | < CalaveraJoe> | Wow, really... only one travis in that bad boy? |
| 07:11 | < Ceddo> | And that can be replaced with a 1x1 2 stud, too. |
| 07:11 | < Ceddo> | I put the Travis in there, for stability. |
| 07:11 | < Ceddo> | AYI used mostly 1x1 bricks with 2 studs on the side. Lots of them. |
| 07:11 | < CalaveraJoe> | Nicely done man |
| 07:14 | < CalaveraJoe> | Oooh, the dreaded "One brick was not placed correctly" error on startup |

| 07:18 | < CalaveraJoe> | Not a biggie, I'll probably just use the step by step to rebuilt it in bricksmith |
| 07:18 | < Ceddo> | It's present in the right hip. |
| 07:18 | < CalaveraJoe> | gotcha |
| 07:18 | < Ceddo> | Also, my roomie wants me to build him a company of Minxes. |
| 07:18 | < CalaveraJoe> | nice |

| 16:35 | < Ceddo> | Had my stations in the mail. |
| 16:35 | <~Noah> | Hopefully I'll have some packages today |
| 16:48 | < Ceddo> | It looks like my roomies company is gonna run me like ... US$130, ish. |
| 16:49 | < Ceddo> | But it's at the sweetspot. |
| 16:49 | < Ceddo> | 1300 parts, so US$ 0.10 each, on average. |
| 16:49 | <~Noah> | Heh |
| 16:49 | <~Noah> | I'm afraid to count my orders up and see what I've paid per brick |
| 16:50 | < Ceddo> | See, those Minxes are big and awesome and all. |
| 16:50 | < Ceddo> | But their partscount is double that of a Chub. |
| 16:50 | < Ceddo> | So TCO go up. |
| 17:00 | < Ceddo> | Alright. |
| 17:01 | < Ceddo> | It's time to crank the creative muscles. |
| 17:01 | < Ceddo> | Daddy wants himself some Ijads. |
| 17:31 | <~Noah> | 0.072 per brick, after shipping |
| 17:39 | < Ceddo> | Nice! |
| 17:39 | < Ceddo> | That's below the sweetspot. :D |
| 17:40 | <~Noah> | Yea, I check the local stores, and I can never get much below 10c that way, before tax even |
| 17:40 | < Ceddo> | I want to show you something. |
| 17:40 | < Ceddo> | And I seek your approval and critique. |
| 17:41 | <~Noah> | Yes sure |

| 17:43 | <~Noah> | Fo'oh'fo. |
| 17:43 | < Ceddo> | Yah. |
| 17:43 | < Ceddo> | I was tarded. |
| 17:43 | < Ceddo> | http://www.ced23ric.de/stuff/mf0/vij01_elderseye.png |
| 17:43 | < Ceddo> | There. |
| 17:44 | <~Noah> | Cool, has a rocket launcher |
| 17:44 | < Ceddo> | Brother Jenaya, piloting an VJI01 Elder's Eye 'frame, which is part of The Assembly of the Most Understanding Council. |
| 17:44 | < Ceddo> | Nopes, that's a ragefinding laser. |
| 17:45 | <~Noah> | Oh, haha |
| 17:45 | < Ceddo> | And a massive radio antenna in the back. |
| 17:46 | < Ceddo> | Well, that and the aligned phase-shift emitter. |
| 17:46 | <~Noah> | I like the color scheme, that's what I'm doing, but with greens |
| 17:46 | < Ceddo> | Light goes in the back, and energy rays come out the front. It's a very efficient design. Just generates a lot of heat. |
| 17:47 | < Ceddo> | http://www.ced23ric.de/stuff/mf0/vij01_elderseye_front.png |
| 17:47 | < Ceddo> | Strong legs for fast movement, too. |
| 17:47 | < Ceddo> | It's a RaRaYYG 'frame. |
| 17:53 | <~Noah> | The larger back legs are pretty interesting, I had an idea like that, but for a tripod |

| 18:57 | < Soren> | Your guys are pretty much done! |
| 18:58 | < Soren> | Once their hands and camo blankets get here, I'll attach them and we can figure out when I can get them to you. |
| 19:00 | < MittenNinja> | SWEET! |
| 19:00 | < MittenNinja> | Can't wait to see them! |
| 19:00 | < Soren> | They're lookin' pretty good. |
| 19:00 | < MittenNinja> | We'll yeah, you built em |
| 19:00 | < Soren> | I threw in muzzle flashes for all your ranged weapons |
| 19:00 | < MittenNinja> | Nice, thanks man |
| 19:00 | < Soren> | Hey, I fuck up like anybody else. |
| 19:01 | < Soren> | oh, and. uh. |
| 19:01 | < Soren> | Surprise, you get stations, too. |
| 19:01 | < MittenNinja> | Nice! |
| 19:01 | < MittenNinja> | Thanks man! |
| 19:01 | < Ceddo> | Soren! |

| 19:01 | < Ceddo> | Also, you derped when you should've herped. |
| 19:01 | < Soren> | I wasn't sure I could pull it off, but I bought a huge lot of stuff and managed to make a giant bagful of stations. |
| 19:02 | < Ceddo> | Can't send you stuff without an address. |
| 19:02 | < Soren> | 'strue. |
| 19:02 | < Ceddo> | Act accordingly. |
| 19:04 | | * Soren searches under usergroup 'buttmonkeys' |
| 19:04 | < Soren> | There you are. |
| 19:05 | < MittenNinja> | Thats awesome. |
| 19:05 | < MittenNinja> | I really appreciate it man |
| 19:06 | < Soren> | They're pretty basic, you'll probably want to fill out the gaps yourself. |
| 19:06 | < Soren> | But you'll have pbjectives right off the bat. |
| 19:06 | < Soren> | *objectives. |
| 19:07 | < MittenNinja> | thats awesome, especially because of the con. |
| 19:07 | <~Noah> | I love when people on bricklink send me a printout of my invoice with my package, makes checking the order so simple |
| 19:07 | < Soren> | Yeah |
| 19:08 | < Soren> | That's a favorite of mine too. |
| 19:08 | < Ceddo> | I am just so awesome, I know what I wanted and got ..! |
| 19:08 | < Ceddo> | Superior brain power. |

| 19:10 | < afny> | halo. |
| 19:10 | < Ceddo> | Herrow. |
| 19:10 | < MittenNinja> | So Soren, what are your thoughts on miners discovering ancient Ijad ruins on Orion 6? I'm planning on them unearthing an elder ijad tribe, the Ijad ancestors so to say. |
| 19:10 | <~Noah> | Hello Kevin Van Kirk |
| 19:10 | < MittenNinja> | whuddup? |
| 19:11 | < MittenNinja> | would that fit with what you guys already have? |
| 19:11 | < Soren> | Well, Ijad didn't have FTL travel until humans gave it them by accident. But they *have* been around longer than we have. |
| 19:11 | <~Noah> | Why does everything interesting happen on Orion 6 |
| 19:11 | < afny> | What if they were bonded to a more "primative" animal when they were discovered |
| 19:11 | < Soren> | So it's really a question of what you want to make up by way of justification. |
| 19:11 | < Soren> | They were. |
| 19:12 | <~Noah> | How do the Ijad reproduce? |
| 19:12 | < afny> | No, I mean, his ancient Ijad bound to something equivalent to a Coelacanth |
| 19:12 | < Soren> | I think if you do it, it's because someone else transported them there |
| 19:12 | < MittenNinja> | Yeah, absolutely |
| 19:12 | < Soren> | Noah: Do you really want to risk giving me an opportunity to write Ijad pornography? |
| 19:13 | < MittenNinja> | hahaha |
| 19:13 | < Soren> | I'll do it, just to fuck with your head. |
| 19:13 | <~Noah> | Well, that's why I'm interested |
| 19:13 | < afny> | Soren: I asked the same question in a thread. We all want to know. |
| 19:13 | < Soren> | You guys know I'm building a company for Jerry Holkins, right? Tycho of Penny Arcade? |
| 19:14 | <~Noah> | Are they fruit fuckers? |
| 19:14 | < MittenNinja> | yep, its a biker gang right? |
| 19:14 | < afny> | No, but I wondered if he put in for one |
| 19:14 | < Soren> | He's done shit like that before, and I might ask him to do it again. |
| 19:14 | < afny> | What, write Ijad pornography? |
| 19:14 | < MittenNinja> | lol |
| 19:14 | < afny> | It does seem like it's right up his alley. |
| 19:14 | < Soren> | I would imagine it's very slimy and involve intertwining tentacles. |
| 19:14 | < Soren> | Yes. |
| 19:14 | <~Noah> | It's the first thing people ask when they encounter a new species. "How do there come to be more of them?" |
| 19:15 | < afny> | But they don't need a host to reproduce |
| 19:15 | < Soren> | nope. |
| 19:15 | < afny> | at least not physically; whether or not it's part of the mating ritual is probably cultural. |
| 19:15 | < afny> | I mean, I'm sure they've got some kinks. |
| 19:15 | < Soren> | Everybody's got kinks. |
| 19:15 | <~Noah> | Seems like it would be rife with interspecies zoophilia |
| 19:16 | < afny> | Well you couldn't really call it zoophilia |
| 19:16 | < afny> | that's really simplifying the issue |
| 19:16 | < Soren> | But yeah, I would imagine there's some sort of jellyfish/seahorse sort of affair involved. |
| 19:16 | <~Noah> | Well, to the human outsider's point of view |
| 19:16 | < afny> | Even then, only if it was an Ijad riding an animal and an animal without an Ijad |
| 19:17 | < Soren> | I think Joshua has a better idea there, so I'm reluctant to speculate. |
| 19:17 | < afny> | ...why are we talking about this |
| 19:17 | < Soren> | because slug sex is really funny. |
| 19:17 | <~Noah> | afny: Because I asked. |
| 19:17 | <~Noah> | And that |
| 19:17 | < afny> | I'm down for slug sex. |
| 19:17 | < Soren> | *shlorp* *squish* |
| 19:17 | <~Noah> | Got moves like Jaba |
| 19:17 | < Soren> | 'Your tentacles are so... flexible!' |
| 19:18 | <~Noah> | Nono, not flexible |
| 19:18 | <~Noah> | "Articulate" |
| 19:18 | < Soren> | turgid |
| 19:19 | < MittenNinja> | you guys are ridiculous |
| 19:19 | < Soren> | yes. |
| 19:19 | < afny> | Well, if we somehow end up with a ten page dissertation on the mating habits of the Ijad written by Jerry Holkins |
| 19:19 | < afny> | ...I'll be in my bunk. |
| 19:19 | < Soren> | Proudly so. |
| 19:19 | < Soren> | heh |
| 19:19 | < MittenNinja> | heh |
| 19:19 | <~Noah> | Win. |
| 19:19 | < afny> | I drew another tiny Asher by the way |
| 19:19 | < afny> | he still looks like Forest Gump |
| 19:19 | < afny> | http://i.imgur.com/mq7Nz.jpg?1 |
| 19:20 | < Soren> | I'll pop the question. I was giggling the other day, thinking I should write something in anticipation of horrifying you guys when you asked. |
| 19:20 | <~Noah> | "Life is like a box of peaches... You never know what brain slug you're gonna get" |
| 19:20 | < MittenNinja> | Looks good! |
| 19:21 | < afny> | I'm really excited to play OtRSPoD 3. His last news post said he finished writing it, and that he was still writing it. I was like...."Yes." |
| 19:21 | < MittenNinja> | OtRSPoD? |
| 19:21 | < afny> | The Penny Arcade game |
| 19:21 | < afny> | On the Rain Slick Precipice of Darkness |
| 19:21 | < MittenNinja> | ah right |
| 19:22 | < MittenNinja> | i thought it was just precipice of darkness |
| 19:22 | < afny> | I didn't really get in to the first two because of the style, but the new one is so classy |
| 19:25 | <~Noah> | I liked the first one, unless my wife killed my 360 with a blanket and Fable 2 |
| 19:25 | < Soren> | Okay, time for link spam: |
| 19:25 | < MittenNinja> | oh snap |
| 19:25 | < Soren> | https://www.dropbox.com/s/rppfdt1dyiueplk/Sisters%20of%20the%20Dreaming%20Blade. jpg Mittens, this is aimed mainly at you. |

| 19:26 | < MittenNinja> | oh man, the moon fang guys are awesome |
| 19:26 | < Soren> | ty |
| 19:26 | < Soren> | I'm buying more parts for them RIGHT NOW. |
| 19:26 | <~Noah> | Tine bike++ |
| 19:26 | < afny> | Oh wow, I didn't connect the pink biped to the quad conceptually |
| 19:27 | < afny> | So is it piloted by an Ijad-Human? |
| 19:27 | <~Noah> | But what's that 1x1 plateclip on the bottom for? |
| 19:27 | < Soren> | most likely. |
| 19:27 | < Soren> | nothing in particular, it just looks nice. |
| 19:27 | < MittenNinja> | That bike is super slick too |
| 19:28 | <~Noah> | I like those colors, on both of those Ijad companies |
| 19:28 | <~Noah> | I wish I was as elite as you Soren |
| 19:28 | <~Noah> | Or at least had all your bricks |
| 19:28 | < afny> | You could always kill him and eat his heart. |
| 19:29 | < afny> | ...but that would be crazy. |
| 19:29 | <~Noah> | But that's some good cardio food though |
| 19:29 | <~Noah> | Hahah |
| 19:29 | <~Noah> | Get it? |
| 19:29 | <~Noah> | Cardio... |
| 19:30 | < afny> | You could also eat his brain. |
| 19:30 | < afny> | ...just food for thought. |
| 19:30 | | * Soren chuckles. |
| 19:30 | < MittenNinja> | haha |
| 19:30 | < Soren> | Any more puns like that and you have to die, though. |
| 19:30 | <~Noah> | Or his sole, but that would be putting a foot in my mouth |
| 19:31 | | * Soren rips Noah's pun gland out of his chest. |
| 19:31 | < afny> | Are you going to finish that? |
| 19:31 | < Soren> | GRRRAAAAH. |
| 19:31 | <~Noah> | GRRSAAAKAKCJK *slumps* |
| 19:32 | < MittenNinja> | http://i.imgur.com/xme6g.jpg |
| 19:32 | < afny> | Oh god I turned my head to read one |
| 19:32 | < afny> | and instantly regretted it. |
| 19:32 | < MittenNinja> | hahaha |
| 19:33 | < MittenNinja> | they are indeed pretty tearable |
| 19:33 | <~Noah> | Oh |
| 19:33 | <~Noah> | I just got that, haha |
| 19:33 | <~Noah> | durrr |
| 19:33 | < MittenNinja> | lol |
| 19:33 | <~Noah> | I need my pun gland back please |
| 19:34 | | * Soren looks up from munching on it. |
| 19:34 | < Soren> | Um. |
| 19:34 | < Soren> | That might be problematic. |
| 19:35 | <~Noah> | Yea, I have issues with my storage area, it's problem attic |
| 19:35 | <~Noah> | Oh hey, I think it's regenerating |
| 19:41 | | * Soren orders more parts for Moon Fangs |
| 19:41 | < Soren> | I got a problem. |
| 19:41 | < afny> | A Moon Fang problem? |
| 19:42 | < Soren> | I love my pink. |
| 19:49 | < MittenNinja> | thats what she said? |
| 19:49 | <~Noah> | I was going to go with "...in bed." |
| 19:50 | < afny> | And you thought the PUNS were bad |
| 19:51 | < Soren> | This is clearly hazardous. |
| 19:52 | < MittenNinja> | Soren, what did you end up doing with the "scout" and "assassin"? are they fat snake variants? or somethign else? |
| 19:52 | < Ceddo> | ONE IN THE PINK. |
| 19:52 | < Soren> | Butts. out of 2x2 tiles in dark bluish grey. |
| 19:52 | < Soren> | all Fat Snakes. |
| 19:52 | < MittenNinja> | awesome |
| 19:52 | <~Noah> | Ced, my parts for the ruler came in today |
| 19:52 | < Ceddo> | Did they ... rule your partsbin? |
| 19:52 | < Soren> | the 'scout' is a commander with a combat knife. the 'assassin' has a shield and a spear. |
| 19:52 | < Ceddo> | I declare this day to be horrible pun day. |
| 19:52 | < Soren> | You'll like them, I think. |
| 19:53 | <~Noah> | It's light bley with alternating reddish brown and green 1x4 tiles |
| 19:53 | < Ceddo> | Fair enough. |
| 19:53 | < MittenNinja> | I'm sure I will :) |
| 19:53 | < Ceddo> | I still need some sort of company composition for the Ijad. |
| 19:53 | < Ceddo> | And I am clueless. |
| 19:53 | < MittenNinja> | I thought you were Ceddo? |
| 19:53 | | Noah changed the topic of #mf0 to: Welcome to the (unofficial) channel for Micro Construct Tactics Nova: Mobile Frame Zero: Rapid Attack. | Hope you like puns. | Logs: http://goo.gl/gcEEk | Beta Rules at Kickstarter: http://goo.gl/AGKp8 | Now on the blagosphere: http://mf0irc.blogspot.com/ |
| 19:53 | < Ceddo> | What was I? |
| 19:53 | < MittenNinja> | clueless apparently |
| 19:54 | < Ceddo> | Yes. Yes indeed. |
| 19:54 | < Ceddo> | I still am. |
| 19:54 | < Ceddo> | I have one 'frame. |
| 19:54 | < Ceddo> | It's RaRaYYG. |
| 19:54 | < Ceddo> | Or RaRaYYB, whatevs. |
| 19:54 | <~Noah> | I thought it was G, strong legs and yadaya? |
| 19:54 | < Ceddo> | Also, Greg, my condolesences. |
| 19:54 | < Ceddo> | Noah: Yah. |
| 19:54 | < MittenNinja> | ? |
| 19:55 | < afny> | I'll be back in a bit |
| 19:56 | | afny is now known as afny|away |
| 19:56 | < Ceddo> | Soren: You got backsies-mailsies. |
| 19:56 | < Ceddo> | Greg: Your Vipers. They ate it hard. |
| 19:57 | < MittenNinja> | ah yeah. I'm pretty sure you're not allowed to place your final defense frames in front of the faces of attacking frames though. |
| 19:58 | < MittenNinja> | kind of defeats the purpose of the "point frame" being the first to be exposed to fire. |
| 20:00 | < Soren> | Ceddo: awesome. I apparently also had some 2x2 tiles hiding awal. |
| 20:00 | < Soren> | away* |
| 20:00 | < Ceddo> | Well, and the clustering up was ... more than suboptimal. |
| 20:01 | < Ceddo> | As soon as melees have to run, they start to suck. If they don't, bamm, prime condition. |
| 20:02 | < MittenNinja> | Yeah, I wouldn't have placed them like that methinks |
| 20:07 | < Ceddo> | Oh, fuck no. |
| 20:07 | < Ceddo> | A split is almost always beneficial. |
| 20:08 | < Ceddo> | Especiallywhen you establish overlapping fields of fire. |
| 20:08 | < Ceddo> | 10 units distance seems ideal. |
| 20:08 | < Ceddo> | So you can swerve in if need be, but still be far away enough for arty support. |

| 20:15 | < Ceddo> | Not yet. |
| 20:15 | < Ceddo> | Oh wit. |
| 20:15 | < Ceddo> | I did! |
| 20:15 | < Ceddo> | I love his buklyiness. |
| 20:15 | < Ceddo> | *Bulkiness |
| 20:15 | < Ceddo> | bulkicity. |

| 20:16 | < Ceddo> | Etc. |
| 20:16 | < afny> | Indeed. |
| 20:18 | < MittenNinja> | Man, i really wish there was a 1/2 plate sized piece |
| 20:20 | < afny> | how would it even |
| 20:20 | < afny> | connect? |
| 20:21 | < MittenNinja> | Just a really thin 1x1 plate |
| 20:22 | < Ceddo> | I know that feel, bro. |
| 20:22 | < Ceddo> | Just like I wish for a inverted jumper. |
| 20:22 | < afny> | Oh...half HEIGHT. Yeah, I definitely want inverted jumpers |
| 20:23 | < Ceddo> | Or a 1x1 bar plate. |
| 20:23 | < Ceddo> | Those 1x2 are nice, but 1x1 would be killer. |
| 20:23 | < MittenNinja> | I keep running into the need for it with the Ijad build I'm working on. This is as close as I've gotten to creating a solid front torso http://i.imgur.com/McYU1.jpg |
| 20:23 | < Ceddo> | I mean the hinge ones. |
| 20:23 | < afny> | maybe hard to maintain structural integrity |
| 20:24 | < Ceddo> | Mittens: What's under the wedge? |
| 20:24 | < MittenNinja> | theres a nother lampholder up top connected to the tan brick |
| 20:24 | < Ceddo> | Ah, gotcha. |
| 20:24 | < Ceddo> | Mhmm. |
| 20:24 | < MittenNinja> | I'm trying to keep it as thin as physically possible |
| 20:25 | < Ceddo> | Move the lower one one over to the right. |
| 20:25 | < Ceddo> | Then, it's 4p. |
| 20:25 | < Ceddo> | 3 + 1/2 + 1/2 |
| 20:25 | < MittenNinja> | lower what? |
| 20:25 | < Ceddo> | The lower lampholder. |
| 20:25 | < Ceddo> | Just scoot it one position outwards. |
| 20:26 | < MittenNinja> | Oh snap! |
| 20:26 | < MittenNinja> | why the hell didnt i think of that |
| 20:26 | < MittenNinja> | THanks ceddo |
| 20:27 | < Ceddo> | :D |
| 20:27 | < Ceddo> | I've been playing with positional relays like that over the last days. |
| 20:27 | < Ceddo> | Travis + plate + plate + Travis vertical is a perfect 3 horizontal, for example. |
| 20:28 | < Ceddo> | If something is half, one step more makes it one. ;) |
| 20:28 | < Ceddo> | Alright. Got my arty ijad sorted. |
| 20:28 | < Ceddo> | I think I want two of those. |
| 20:29 | < Ceddo> | How many Ijad do I want? Full company size. So 8. |
| 20:29 | < Ceddo> | In that case, I also want to frontline spotters. |
| 20:29 | < Ceddo> | RdRdYYB. |
| 20:29 | < Ceddo> | Mhmm. |
| 20:29 | < Ceddo> | One of those, I think. +1 SSR |
| 20:29 | < Ceddo> | Then two Soldiers. Soldiers are always nice. So RdRdYBG +1 SSR. |
| 20:30 | < Ceddo> | That's 5. |
| 20:30 | < Ceddo> | Mhmm. |
| 20:30 | < Ceddo> | Make it 3 Arties, makes 6. |
| 20:30 | < Ceddo> | And two more big guns. |
| 20:30 | < Ceddo> | RdRdRdRdBG, me thinks. |
| 20:30 | < Ceddo> | Or -G +Y. |
| 20:30 | < Ceddo> | Whaddaya think? |
| 20:30 | < Ceddo> | Spot is just so aggressive. |
| 20:32 | < Ceddo> | Mhmm. All but one have G 'systems. |
| 20:32 | < Ceddo> | And the Guns will have to move, because of DF. |
| 20:32 | < Ceddo> | So G is in. |
| 20:32 | < Ceddo> | Maybe drop B for Y, though. |
| 20:32 | < Ceddo> | Dedicate W for Def. |
| 20:32 | < Ceddo> | And play covergames. |
| 20:33 | < Ceddo> | I SO UNSURE. |
| 20:33 | < Ceddo> | Someone chime in. |
| 20:33 | < afny> | I don't know, this is why I have yet to design a company that doesn't have modular systems |
| 20:33 | < afny> | BUT |
| 20:34 | < afny> | if a lot of your frames have Gs |
| 20:34 | < afny> | seems like you could go with less Bs since you can just scoot right into cover? |
| 20:34 | < Ceddo> | Well, and a G installed is a W free. |
| 20:34 | < Ceddo> | 1 B does naught. |
| 20:34 | < afny> | I don't really hold with that logic |
| 20:34 | < Ceddo> | 1 G gives you cover. |
| 20:35 | < Ceddo> | Well, look at it without colors. |
| 20:35 | < afny> | I mean 1 B forces you to use that die for defense. Yeah, it doesn't add any extra abilities. |
| 20:35 | < Ceddo> | Strip the colors and becomes more apparent. |
| 20:35 | < afny> | I see what you're saying, but sometimes |
| 20:35 | < Ceddo> | I roll B and W W. |
| 20:35 | < afny> | you're going to want to use your white to replace a bad spot roll |
| 20:35 | < Ceddo> | But I have a DF 'frame. |
| 20:35 | < Ceddo> | He needs to move. |
| 20:35 | < Ceddo> | Either to avoid HtH, to grab a station or to stay/get into range. |
| 20:35 | < Ceddo> | DF needs to move, all day. |
| 20:35 | < afny> | I'm just saying that you should never consider a white to be anything other than a wildcard |
| 20:35 | < Ceddo> | So I WILL end up using a W for Move. Often, a shitty one. |
| 20:36 | < Ceddo> | So, if I move more and THROUGH cover, ONTO elevation and such ... |
| 20:36 | < Ceddo> | I reduce my Def, yes. |
| 20:36 | < Ceddo> | But when I am in cover, my Def is DOUBLED. |
| 20:36 | < Soren> | http://www.bricklink.com/PL/30239.jpg?0 I need to reincarnate the weedbot I built at Joshua's. |
| 20:37 | < MittenNinja> | 1 G is always better than 1 B |
| 20:37 | < afny> | Hah, I have one of those on my table, and a green slope |
| 20:37 | < Ceddo> | And with a G, I can actually get into that cover. From ALL directions. (Which I just typed as "firexcition") |
| 20:37 | < afny> | I'm going to make a chub |
| 20:37 | < Ceddo> | Alright. |
| 20:37 | < Ceddo> | RdRdRdRdYG it is. |
| 20:37 | < Ceddo> | BALLS TO THE WALLS, gentlemen. |
| 20:37 | < Ceddo> | YOLO. |
| 20:37 | < MittenNinja> | Soren: hahaha thatd be hilarious |
| 20:38 | < Ceddo> | Also, my SU company's already a slow tank build. :D |
| 20:38 | < Ceddo> | Havign a fast Ijad covermonkey company might be fun. |
| 20:38 | < MittenNinja> | After playing a few games I need to go and revamp my entire company |
| 20:38 | < Soren> | I might still have a picture of that guy. Let me go check. |
| 20:39 | | afny is now known as afny|lunch |
| 20:39 | < afny|lunch> | Gonna be in and out, fixing lunch |
| 20:40 | < MittenNinja> | who broke it? |
| 20:42 | < Soren> | https://www.dropbox.com/s/kfam9lrrnt2vj16/Mighty%20Weedbot.JPG With bonus Vincentfeet, even! |
| 20:45 | < MittenNinja> | nice |
| 20:57 | < Ceddo> | Alright. |
| 20:58 | < Ceddo> | I think it is time. |
| 20:58 | < Ceddo> | It is time to remember the Scout Greg built. |
| 20:58 | < Ceddo> | Time to revel in the past. |
| 20:58 | < Ceddo> | And combine it with the future. |
| 20:58 | < Ceddo> | It's time for wheeled Scramblers. |
| 20:59 | < Ceddo> | Weedbot says: "Everyone chill the fuck out, I got this." |
| 21:01 | < MittenNinja> | I've thought about doing that! |
| 21:04 | < Ceddo> | See, I fucking love your tire cuttings. |
| 21:04 | < Ceddo> | But I am sometimes hard pressed to justify it. |
| 21:04 | < Ceddo> | But with a company of 8 that has 7 greens, I can go to town. |
| 21:05 | < Ceddo> | I am thinking stronger hindlegs with wheels and gliders on the front legs. |
| 21:05 | < Ceddo> | And another one, with massive wheels in the back and smaller ones in the front. |
| 21:05 | < Ceddo> | Have you SEEN the big tires I used? |
| 21:05 | < Ceddo> | The one |
| 21:05 | < MittenNinja> | I have! |
| 21:05 | < Ceddo> | So. DELICIOUS. |
| 21:05 | < MittenNinja> | I cant wait to see the results man |
| 21:05 | < Ceddo> | Takes some magic, but fuck. |
| 21:06 | < Ceddo> | You need a travis brick, 2 1x1 plates and 2 dishes. |
| 21:06 | < Ceddo> | And a 2L piece of 3mm hose. |
| 21:06 | < Ceddo> | No, not 2 1x1 plates. |
| 21:06 | < Ceddo> | Just one. |
| 21:06 | < Ceddo> | Because the extension INSIDE the wheel is a 1x1 round /w open stud. |
| 21:06 | < Ceddo> | But it looks so baws. :D |
| 21:07 | < Ceddo> | Alrightey. Time to get to business. |
| 21:08 | < Ceddo> | http://www.ced23ric.de/stuff/mf0/council.png |
| 21:08 | < Ceddo> | I'll be honest. I am a little proud of myself. |
| 21:09 | < Ceddo> | Mad props to Soren for the bubble turret. Had to rework it a bit and change the mount to get it lower, but it's a wicked little thing. |
| 21:09 | < Ceddo> | Those turrets swivel like 140? in a frontal arc. |
| 21:09 | < afny|lunch> | are those... |
| 21:09 | < afny|lunch> | 3 x 3 radar dishes? |
| 21:10 | < Ceddo> | AWW YEAH. |
| 21:10 | < Ceddo> | Oh fuck. |
| 21:10 | < Ceddo> | OH FUCK. |
| 21:10 | < Ceddo> | I just realized what I still have in my drawer. |
| 21:10 | <~Noah> | That's what she said |
| 21:11 | < Ceddo> | It's 4x4 tires. |
| 21:11 | < Ceddo> | 2 bricks wide. |
| 21:11 | < Ceddo> | They are ginormoues. |
| 21:11 | <~Noah> | Oh, those things |
| 21:11 | < Ceddo> | Yeah. |
| 21:11 | < Ceddo> | Chub chest size. |
| 21:11 | < Ceddo> | Chub TORSO size. |
| 21:11 | <~Noah> | Make a segway model |
| 21:11 | < Ceddo> | I wonder if I can pull of shen with that. |
| 21:12 | < Ceddo> | That would be so fucking intimidating. |
| 21:12 | < Ceddo> | Imagine an Ijad Scrambler. |
| 21:12 | < Ceddo> | With those in the back and the next smaller ones in the front. |
| 21:12 | < Ceddo> | Ripping through the battlefield, firing wildly, as he drifts around a corner. |
| 21:12 | | * Ceddo wants to watch MFZ - the Anime. |
| 21:13 | < Ceddo> | I have my trusty cutter here. Challenge accepted. |
| 21:14 | < Ceddo> | This is gonna be a tough one. *rubs chin.* How to turn a square 45? and have it stay stable? |
| 21:14 | < Ceddo> | Might have to use turntables. |
| 21:17 | < MittenNinja> | a microphone might help with that |
| 21:22 | < Ceddo> | With turntables? |
| 21:22 | < Ceddo> | I am dead sure. |
| 21:24 | < Ceddo> | I drop the next level bricks / using pink for the chicks / a lady's gotta game, too / so don't you chirp me, foo' / these scramblers rippin' up the dirt, / Didn't you hear the word? / The word is hurt, / Your new world / Where ya gonna live in, / when these guns spin, / firing mad lasers are your shit, / Pink, bro, pink's legit. |
| 21:24 | < Ceddo> | *pose* |
| 21:24 | < MittenNinja> | hahaha |
| 21:24 | < MittenNinja> | nice |
| 21:25 | < Ceddo> | We so should get a retarded MFO rapgroup going. Soren beatboxes. |
| 21:26 | < afny|lunch> | We should wait for the book to come out so we can fluff up the lyrics |
| 21:26 | <~Noah> | Let's don't and say we didn't. |
| 21:26 | < afny|lunch> | and then make a concept album |
| 21:26 | < afny|lunch> | it could even be |
| 21:26 | < afny|lunch> | IN UNIVERSE. |
| 21:27 | < MittenNinja> | @Noah lol |
| 21:27 | < Ceddo> | Reminds me of a conversation I had with buddies once. |
| 21:28 | < Ceddo> | "We could totally do this, and then that, well it would suck, but it would probably be good!" |
| 21:28 | < Ceddo> | And someone said: |
| 21:28 | < Ceddo> | "Fuck yeah, let's not." |
| 21:28 | < Ceddo> | Alright. |
| 21:28 | < Ceddo> | Mounting the massive tires. |
| 21:28 | < Ceddo> | *rubs chin* |
| 21:28 | < Ceddo> | Tough shit. |
| 21:29 | < Ceddo> | Fuck. How do I even .. |
| 21:32 | < Ceddo> | Hey Mittens? |
| 21:32 | < Ceddo> | If I figure out how to mount MASSIVE tires... |
| 21:32 | < Ceddo> | Do you want in on this? |
| 21:33 | < MittenNinja> | hahaha, sire man |
| 21:33 | < MittenNinja> | *sure |
| 21:33 | < Ceddo> | Good. |
| 21:33 | < Ceddo> | Because I think I have cracked it. |
| 21:33 | < Ceddo> | Like a fucking sir. |
| 21:33 | < Ceddo> | Cutting times are a go. |
| 21:33 | < afny|lunch> | ;_; |
| 21:34 | < Ceddo> | Well, looks like I cut away too much. |
| 21:34 | < Ceddo> | NEXT TIRE. |
| 21:34 | < afny|lunch> | ;_; |
| 21:34 | < Ceddo> | LOL. |
| 21:34 | < Ceddo> | I WIN. |
| 21:34 | < Ceddo> | AT EVERYTHING LEGO TIRES. |
| 21:34 | < Ceddo> | FOREVER. |
| 21:35 | < Ceddo> | AHAHAHAHA. |
| 21:35 | < Ceddo> | Okay. |
| 21:35 | < Ceddo> | *cough* |
| 21:35 | < Ceddo> | Comign to a town near you: Ijad Monstertrucks. |
| 21:37 | < Soren> | You guys are delightfully ridiculous. |
| 21:37 | < Ceddo> | I just made Ijad Monstertrucks happen. |
| 21:37 | < Ceddo> | What's not to like? |
| 21:37 | < Soren> | precisely |
| 21:38 | < Ceddo> | How is this not a valid approach? |
| 21:38 | < MittenNinja> | totally valid |
| 21:38 | < Soren> | I'm saying it is. |
| 21:38 | < Ceddo> | YES. |
| 21:38 | < Ceddo> | As you should be. |
| 21:38 | < Soren> | As someone who is pro-ridiculousness. |
| 21:38 | < Ceddo> | Let me take a picture of this. |
| 21:38 | < afny|lunch> | Redneck Ijad |
| 21:39 | < afny|lunch> | is actually pretty brilliant |
| 21:39 | < Soren> | They've been through enough wrenching social change, it would fit. |
| 21:39 | < afny|lunch> | there's also a synchronicity between localist tribes and redneck communities |
| 21:40 | < afny|lunch> | they're both tight-knit, possibly defensive |
| 21:40 | < afny|lunch> | strange locally evolved customs |
| 21:40 | < Soren> | usually future-shocked as fuck, all the time. |
| 21:40 | < Soren> | Our rednecks here have been future shocked since about 1920, after all. |
| 21:41 | < afny|lunch> | Yeah, I'm liking all the allegory. Ijad monster trucks please. |
| 21:41 | < Ceddo> | Smoke, beer, then pictures. |
| 21:41 | < Ceddo> | It's hodge podge, but it works. |
| 21:41 | < Soren> | I think of the Armored-Of-God as being a somewhat classier version, actually. |
| 21:42 | < Soren> | They're ideological descendants of the old noble ghanat cavalry. |
| 21:43 | < Soren> | They see host-animals as being somewhat... disposable. |
| 21:43 | < afny|lunch> | Nasty |
| 21:43 | < Soren> | Which gets creepy when they treat humans like livestock |
| 21:43 | < Soren> | Well. |
| 21:44 | < Soren> | It's the vestige of an old argument in Ijad society about whether or not non-Ijad have souls. They're very much in the minority on this one. |
| 21:44 | < afny|lunch> | And they're not willing to rethink their stance even after encountering other sapients, obviously |
| 21:45 | < afny|lunch> | I mean they certainly have their counterparts in our history |
| 21:45 | < Soren> | They've moderated it a lot, actually. |
| 21:45 | < Soren> | They don't keep people in ghanat-pens. |
| 21:45 | < afny|lunch> | How many of their higher-ups ride humans? |
| 21:46 | < Soren> | But there's still sort of a sense of 'oh, your host got shot. Well, pick a new one and get back to your unit, soldier.' |
| 21:46 | < Soren> | A fair number. |
| 21:46 | < Soren> | Ijad really *like* riding humans. They just find it kind of weird. |
| 21:46 | < Soren> | And ethically unclear. |
| 21:46 | < afny|lunch> | How do the humans feel about it |
| 21:46 | < Soren> | pretty good, on balance. |
| 21:46 | < afny|lunch> | I mean, those humans specifically. How do they rationalize their involvement? |
| 21:47 | < Soren> | oh, religiously, but it also taps into some very basic, satisfying urges. |
| 21:47 | < Soren> | Having an Ijad on your neck is like having an invisible friend. |
| 21:47 | < Soren> | Often an invisible friend who lets you do things you didn't know how to do before. |
| 21:48 | < Ceddo> | So. |
| 21:48 | < Ceddo> | Let's take a picture of this. |
| 21:49 | < afny|lunch> | My setting/company has several Human Ijads, but their tribes were/are a lot more open and moderate, and their approach to religion a little more allegorical. It just seems like it would be hard for humans to willfully join up with an operation as radical as the Armored-Of-God, but people are easily coerced, I guess. |
| 21:49 | < Soren> | It's a high-prestige thing, too. |
| 21:49 | < afny|lunch> | If they believed in the religion to the same extent, I guess it wouldn't involve any more mental gymnastics than other religions. |
| 21:49 | < Soren> | No, and less than some. |
| 21:50 | < afny|lunch> | Yeah, and I suppose for some it would be a way to dramatically increase their quality of life |
| 21:50 | < Soren> | Often. It's the same reason so many colonials join the Legion, after all. |
| 21:52 | < Ceddo> | Okay. I think this can even be hidden properly. |
| 21:55 | < Ceddo> | Brainstorming. |
| 21:55 | < Ceddo> | Mhmm. |
| 21:55 | < Ceddo> | Okay, GOT IT. |
| 21:57 | < Ceddo> | Mhmm. |
| 21:58 | < Ceddo> | My hiding blinds include a mounting solution. |
| 21:58 | < Ceddo> | PERFECT. |
| 22:01 | < afny|lunch> | yesss |
| 22:02 | < afny|lunch> | someone finally posted on the forums that lives within driving distance |
| 22:02 | < Soren> | Okay, orders paid. I think I might be able to eke out four of these Super Striders, if I mod the last one up. |
| 22:02 | < Ceddo> | Soren? |
| 22:02 | < Ceddo> | I just realized something. |
| 22:03 | < Ceddo> | It's not size creep. |
| 22:03 | < Soren> | yeeees? |
| 22:03 | < Ceddo> | I just really want to play with menacing machines of utter destruction. |
| 22:03 | < Soren> | hee. |
| 22:03 | < Soren> | Well, I encourage people to do that. |
| 22:04 | < Ceddo> | The tire mount uses 2x4 tiles to cover up the cut tire. |
| 22:04 | < Ceddo> | Am I doing it right? |
| 22:05 | < Ceddo> | http://www.ced23ric.de/stuff/mf0/monstertire.png |
| 22:05 | | * Ceddo slaps MittenNinja around a bit with a large trout |
| 22:05 | | * Ceddo slaps Soren around a bit with a large trout |
| 22:05 | | * Ceddo slaps afny|lunch around a bit with a large trout |
| 22:05 | < Ceddo> | There. |
| 22:05 | < MittenNinja> | WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT |
| 22:05 | < MittenNinja> | oh... |
| 22:06 | < MittenNinja> | HOLY bejezus. |
| 22:06 | < afny|lunch> | are you connecting these to scrambler bases? |
| 22:06 | < MittenNinja> | thats big |
| 22:06 | < Ceddo> | :D |
| 22:06 | < Ceddo> | afny|lunch: Yupp. |
| 22:06 | < afny|lunch> | they'll be like tachikomas with GIANT wheels |
| 22:06 | < Ceddo> | Two in the back, two smaller ones in the front. |
| 22:06 | < Ceddo> | I use the square bar base. |
| 22:06 | < Ceddo> | Not the hectogonal one. |
| 22:06 | < Ceddo> | It's a bit of a push, but I will make it work,. |
| 22:07 | < MittenNinja> | Thats what she said |
| 22:08 | < Ceddo> | Wrong. |
| 22:08 | < Ceddo> | I said that. |
| 22:08 | < Ceddo> | She wasn't in the position to say anthing at that point. |
| 22:08 | < Ceddo> | She had her mouth full. |
| 22:08 | < Soren> | ...of giggles. |
| 22:08 | < Ceddo> | And she is a classy lady of good manners and knows better than to speak while chewing. |
| 22:08 | < afny|lunch> | burn. |
| 22:09 | < Ceddo> | New quest: Integrate the trans-punk cup in my design. :D |
| 22:09 | < afny|lunch> | what |
| 22:10 | < afny|lunch> | oh |
| 22:10 | < afny|lunch> | PINK. |
| 22:10 | < afny|lunch> | I thought you were talking about some sort of crazy futurist punk aesthetic |
| 22:11 | < afny|lunch> | the "trans-punk cup" |
| 22:12 | < Ceddo> | Oh. |
| 22:12 | < MittenNinja> | Were there 2 girls invovled? |
| 22:12 | < Ceddo> | Transpink. Yes. |
| 22:12 | < Ceddo> | MittenNinja: Just one guy. |
| 22:12 | < MittenNinja> | ah I see |
| 22:14 | < afny|lunch> | hm |
| 22:14 | < afny|lunch> | 20 gray round 1 x 1 plates |
| 22:14 | < afny|lunch> | was not early enough |
| 22:14 | < afny|lunch> | nearly* |
| 22:19 | < afny|lunch> | I guess I have 60 black ones coming |
| 22:19 | < afny|lunch> | that's a lot |
| 22:19 | < afny|lunch> | maybe. |
| 22:20 | < Soren> | My needs are not your needs, but I burn through quantities like that pretty fast. |
| 22:20 | < Soren> | mix in some standard 1x1 plates and it goes further. |
| 22:21 | < afny|lunch> | well I didn't order anything in high quantity, but I definitely should've ordered gray rounds |
| 22:21 | < afny|lunch> | more of them* |
| 22:21 | < Soren> | Yeah, 1x1 anything is a staple of this scale. |
| 22:22 | < Soren> | You can never really have too much. |
| 22:22 | < afny|lunch> | with my current collection, I've used up every single 1 x 1 round I've found that isn't yellowed white or a trans-color |
| 22:22 | < afny|lunch> | and they're the hardest part to dig for |
| 22:22 | < Soren> | yep. |
| 22:23 | < Soren> | They have their own bin here. |
| 22:23 | < Soren> | trans ones go with their trans color. |
| 22:23 | < afny|lunch> | I'll probably just make another order and try to get around 200 gray 1x1s when I get a few trans-clear stands |
| 22:24 | < afny|lunch> | I really don't have any storage for built frames, so I don't plan on having more than two or three companies bricked up at any one time |
| 22:24 | < afny|lunch> | but damn I hate hunting for tiny bits. |
| 22:24 | < Soren> | yeah |
| 22:24 | < Soren> | the first stuff I ever sorted out by part type was tiny stuff I hated searching for. |
| 22:30 | <~Noah> | I sorted all the legos I had first, because they were in a blue bin all together, then sorted the ones I ordered via ziplocks, before finally buying some tackle boxes |
| 22:31 | <~Noah> | Tackle boxes are win. |
| 22:31 | < Soren> | yeah |
| 22:31 | < Soren> | I love 'em |
| 22:31 | <~Noah> | The clear adjustible ones anyway |
| 22:33 | <~Noah> | And fairly cheap for the use, $7 post tax per box for the ones I got from Bass Pro |
| 22:37 | < Soren> | yeah, the $5-7 stuff is deadly, because you can buy a ton of them |
| 22:38 | <~Noah> | Yea, I could use probably 3 more to last me a while |
| 22:41 | < Ceddo> | Soren: 1x plates are like coke. |
| 22:41 | < Ceddo> | I snort those. |
| 22:41 | < Soren> | indeed. |
| 22:41 | < Ceddo> | Also: BAHAHAHA. |
| 22:42 | < Ceddo> | Monstertruck Scrambler will fuck your shit up. |
| 22:42 | < Ceddo> | Drive through your petunias. |
| 22:42 | < Ceddo> | And mess up your driveway. |
| 22:42 | < Ceddo> | I dub this frame the "Mediator". |
| 22:42 | < Ceddo> | He levels the playing field. |
| 22:47 | < Ceddo> | Fuck. I need to build this and see if it's too big. |
| 22:47 | < Ceddo> | It is, isn't it? |
| 22:47 | < Ceddo> | :( |
| 22:52 | < afny|lunch> | is there really a "too big"? |
| 22:52 | < afny|lunch> | I mean, what advantages do you get by fielding a larger frame |
| 22:53 | < afny|lunch> | you don't want a frame so big that cover is unbelievable, but big isn't bad |
| 22:57 | < Soren> | it's actually a disadvantage. |
| 22:57 | < Soren> | I've given guys Blues for being tiny and hard to hit. |
| 22:58 | < Ceddo> | Well, I'll mock up a chassis. |
| 22:58 | < Ceddo> | And we talk again. |
| 23:00 | <~Noah> | Some argue that range is measured from frame edge to edge, I perfer center to center |
| 23:01 | <~Noah> | If you do edge to edge, larger frames effectively have a larger range, but I find the extra distance is trivial usually |
| 23:04 | <~Noah> | If you do center to center though, very large frames could effectively be out of range for HTH because they could be more than a unit in radius |
| 23:10 | <~Noah> | I fine edge to edge is usually best, because it negates the HTH issue, and the extra range on large frames usually is trivial |
| 23:10 | <~Noah> | find* |
| 23:11 | < Soren> | yeah. |
| 23:12 | < Soren> | Or, you measure from the muzzle/blade of the weapon. |
| 23:12 | < Soren> | simple and intuitive. |
| 23:13 | <~Noah> | Yea, that's the other alternative, I've seen them all used, in warhammer, warmachine/hordes, etc |
| 23:13 | < Ceddo> | This is way too fucking big. :D |
| 23:14 | < Ceddo> | My wheel mount alone reaches the size of a Chub. |
| 23:14 | < Ceddo> | Abandon ship. |
| 23:14 | < afny|lunch> | build it anyway |
| 23:14 | < afny|lunch> | even if you never field it |
| 23:14 | < afny|lunch> | Ijad monster truck forever. |
| 23:14 | | afny|lunch is now known as afny |
| 23:15 | < MittenNinja> | That was a long lunch |
| 23:15 | < afny> | I live like the Italians. |
| 23:15 | < Ceddo> | afny: Nah. I need those parts. :D |
| 23:16 | <~Noah> | Ceddo: Do you superglue your parts together? |
| 23:16 | < Ceddo> | Dip them in clearcoat, too. |
| 23:17 | <~Noah> | Uhg, stoplist you forever |
| 23:19 | < afny> | I didn't mean leave it built |
| 23:19 | < afny> | I just wanted to see its glory |
| 23:20 | < Ceddo> | Maybe I make it a tripod and have one massive back wheel |
| 23:20 | < Ceddo> | Would that be cool? |
| 23:20 | < afny> | it'd be a giant tricycle |
| 23:20 | <~Noah> | Maybe, built it and show us |
| 23:41 | < Ceddo> | Okay. |
| 23:41 | < Ceddo> | I conclude: Great concept. |
| 23:41 | < Ceddo> | Not very practical. |
| 23:41 | < Ceddo> | Prone to falling apart. |
| 23:41 | < Ceddo> | Instable. |
| 23:41 | < Ceddo> | Way to big. |
| 23:41 | < Ceddo> | I hereby declare the project as dead. |
| 23:42 | < Ceddo> | We mourn the three tires who died the cause. |
| 23:44 | < Ceddo> | This idea doesn't want to die. Fuck. |
| 23:45 | < Ceddo> | I just found a way to mount the massive tire in a way where it is even SPINNING. |
| 23:45 | <~Noah> | lol |
| 23:45 | < Ceddo> | Now I want to know if I can mount THAT. |
| 23:46 | < Ceddo> | Goddamnit. |
| 23:46 | < Ceddo> | 5p wide. Okay. No way I'mma use that. |
| 23:47 | < MittenNinja> | You know, at this point you might try mounting the tire in a way that it's suppposed to work? |
| 23:48 | < MittenNinja> | The whole reason I cut the tire in the first place was because i needed smaller scale, not because i wanted to cut the tire. |
| 23:48 | < Ceddo> | The new way involves uncut tires. |
| 23:48 | < Ceddo> | Rotating freely. |
| 23:48 | < MittenNinja> | I think you're trying to create an ingenious solution to a problem that doesn't exist in the first place. |
| 23:48 | < Ceddo> | Yes. |
| 23:48 | < Ceddo> | The problem is an Ijad monstertruck Scrambler. |
| 23:48 | < Ceddo> | And it's lack of existence. |
| 23:50 | < Ceddo> | But I will yield. You are right. |
| 23:51 | | Noah changed the topic of #mf0 to: Welcome to the (unofficial) channel for Micro Construct Tactics Nova: Mobile Frame Zero: Rapid Attack. - | (o ? o)|?(????) - Logs: http://goo.gl/gcEEk - Beta Rules at Kickstarter: http://goo.gl/AGKp8 - Now on the blagosphere: http://mf0irc.blogspot.com/ |
| 23:56 | < Soren> | lime+dark grey+dark green is pretty sweet. |
| 23:58 | < afny> | that's a pretty algebraic topic message |
| 23:59 | < MittenNinja> | I want more dark green |
| 23:59 | <~Noah> | Yea, it's very mathematical. |
