<@Ceddobear>
I really need a fucking lightbox and a stand. :/
00:30
<~Noah>
I linked some portable tent kits yesterday
00:30 * Ceddobear is not in the US.
00:30

But I am sure I can find some in the EU, too.

<@Ceddobear>
That is precious.
00:32
<%afny>
the yellow canisters are the actual "station", the rest is terrain
00:33
<@Soren>
very nice!
00:33
<@Ceddobear>
I'd fight over it.
00:33
<@Soren>
I rebuilt mine in Moon Fang colors and added some bits and a pieces.
00:34
< MittenNinja>
That's an awesome yurt
00:34
<@Soren>
-a
00:34
<%afny>
I'm not sure if I have enough bits to make another, but I may eventually accumulate them
00:34
< MittenNinja>
Hey Soren. I'm picking up the beers and then ill be on my way over
00:34
<@Soren>
they're all pretty cheap parts.
00:34
<@Soren>
right on.
00:34
<%afny>
yeah def
00:34
<%afny>
mostly it's just a pain to find more axleholders
00:34
<%afny>
since I did my interior a different way
00:34
<@Soren>
yeah
00:34
<%afny>
and I'm not sure I have another 6 big inverted slopes in the same color
00:35
<%afny>
except for red, but ew red.
00:35
<@Soren>
you can flip the whole thing over and use the non-inverted version.
00:35
<%afny>
I have even less of those
00:35
<@Soren>
That's what I did.
00:35
<@Soren>
sadness.
00:36
<%afny>
I'm going to use this hex base for another station
00:36
<%afny>
with the like
00:36
<%afny>
I don't know what they are, but
00:36
<%afny>
...they're inverted like these slopes, and they have an angle to them
00:36
<%afny>
they're 4x
00:36
<%afny>
across
00:36
<%afny>
anyway I'm going to make a silo
00:37
<@Soren>
sounds like a plan.
00:37
<@Soren>
I came up with that hex design in... 2004, I think?
00:37
<%afny>
it's so useful
00:37
<@Soren>
used it for a few things, but never explored it as much as I shoulda.
00:37
<%afny>
I've just started to read about advanced techniques and look closely at what other people do
00:37
<%afny>
dat SNOT
00:38
<@Soren>
You should join the 'LEGO Techniques' group.
00:38
<@Soren>
There's a lot of great stuff in there.
00:38
<@Soren>
often very esoteric.

00:46
< MittenNinja>
Welp that liquor store was.out of 1554 time to try the one across the street
00:50
<~Noah>
Lego does?
00:50
<%afny>

I have a 2x2 megablok tile that has 8 studs
00:51
<~Noah>
s/tile/plate
00:51
<%afny>
it's not reverse as in 2way, it's just a tile with studs on the back

How's everyone doing today?
01:02
<@Ceddobear>
Pretty swell.
01:02
<@Ceddobear>
It's 2am and I am looking at the daunting task of building 4 Serpents.
01:02
<@Ceddobear>
Finished 8 Ijads today, and retrofitted 8 Chubs with prime articulation.
01:03
<@Ceddobear>
My fingers hurt.
01:03
<@Ceddobear>
My neck's a mess.
01:03
<@Ceddobear>
But this stuff looks great. :D
01:03
< Mantisking>
Man, people are going crazy with the building lately.
01:03
<%afny>
it's the weather
01:03
<%afny>
It's all nice outside, so we go into our basements and play with plastic all day.
01:04
<@Ceddobear>
Kev, I made some firing effects for you.
01:05
<@Ceddobear>
One of the arty Chubs is firing a volley of rockets. :D
01:05
<%afny>
woo
01:05
<@Ceddobear>
I gotta clean this mess up first.
01:05
<@Ceddobear>
But then, I'll take some BETTER pictures.
01:05
<@Ceddobear>
Prolly gonna use the bathroom.
01:06
<@Ceddobear>
Oh, Kev?
01:06
<%afny>
hur
01:06
<@Ceddobear>
Do you want some travis bricks?
01:06
<%afny>
hur.
01:06
<@Ceddobear>
Like, 30 of 'em?
01:06
<%afny>
that's...a lot of travis
01:06
<%afny>
a
01:06
<%afny>
re these the ones you acquired "accidentally"?
01:07
<@Ceddobear>
Sorta kinda ish maybe.
01:07
<~Noah>
I do
01:07
<~Noah>
gimme
01:07
<%afny>
my answer is a resounding yes, I always want travis, but it seems like you should keep them/some in case you decide to do something else
01:07
<@Ceddobear>
They are all light grey and light bley.
01:07
<~Noah>
I answered first~
01:07
<@Ceddobear>
And I am never gonna use them.
01:08
<%afny>
ooh, I've only ever had black
01:08
<%afny>
and one brown
01:08
<@Ceddobear>
They are ... backup Travis bricks.
01:08
<%afny>
and one GREEN for some reason
01:08
<@Ceddobear>
I only use white, black and dark grey anyway.
01:08
<@Ceddobear>
I have no use for light grey ones.
01:08
<~Noah>
I do gimme
01:08
<%afny>
well if you send them to me I'm promptly making POLICE MGNS WITH MISSILE LAUNCHERS
01:08
<%afny>
and slopeheads
01:08
<%afny>
which is not a racist term
01:09
<@Ceddobear>
Okay, proposition.
01:09
<@Ceddobear>
Noah, Kev. You get 16 each.
01:09
<%afny>
that makes a lot of mgns
01:09
<~Noah>
Coo
01:09
<@Ceddobear>
Plus 8 headlight bricks each.
01:09
<~Noah>
With slot?
01:10
<@Ceddobear>
Without.
01:10
<%afny>
most stores I've found don't really differentiate
01:10
<~Noah>
Give those to Kev
01:10
<@Ceddobear>
Actually, some with, some without.
01:11
<~Noah>
Oh, well, afny, do you care which you get?
01:11
<%afny>
see, they don't care unless you specifically request w/ slot or without
01:11
<%afny>
not really, no
01:11
<%afny>
i've never had either kind break
01:11
<~Noah>
If you don't mind, can I have the ones with slot?
01:11
<%afny>
nope
01:11
<~Noah>
coo
01:11
<%afny>
why do you want slots so bad
01:12
<%afny>
just because of the INTEGRITY?
01:12
<@Ceddobear>
No prob.
01:12
<~Noah>
Yea, and so I don't feel obessively compelled to sort them separately
01:12
<@Ceddobear>
It's actually a perfect split.
01:12
<@Ceddobear>
16 + 8 in light grey.
01:13
<@Ceddobear>
16 + 8 in light bley.
01:13
<@Ceddobear>
I throw in 6 2 stud bricks each.
01:13
<%afny>
ohhh
01:13
<%afny>
I only have ONE of those
01:13
<@Ceddobear>
You need those?
01:13
<%afny>
and it's in the Continental Breakfast's sniper
01:13
<@Ceddobear>
Okay, you get an extra 3 on top. ^^
01:13
<@Ceddobear>
Noah gets 1 stud bricks, 3, on top.
01:14
<@Ceddobear>
Kev gets a light grey motor.
01:14
<%afny>
DOES NOAH GET A BUTT
01:14
<~Noah>
NARF
01:14
<@Ceddobear>
I don't have a single butt. :D
01:14
<%afny>
Alright, I'll put my own light grey butt in it.
01:14
<%afny>
BECAUSE I CAN.
01:15
<%afny>
Actually, even in my frames that use motors and butts
01:15
<%afny>
the motors and butts don't connect directly
01:15
<@Ceddobear>
Kev also gets a 1x2 technic brick.
01:15
<@Ceddobear>
NOAH GETS A CLAW.
01:15
<%afny>
These aren't...the remains of the Couatl's, are they..
01:15
<%afny>
that would be very sad.
01:15
<@Ceddobear>
Nah.
01:15
<~Noah>
haha
01:15
<@Ceddobear>
Those are really just back up parts.
01:15
<%afny>
-'
01:16
<@Ceddobear>
I realized I have like 50 more Travis bricks coming in.
01:16
<@Ceddobear>
Accidentially.
01:16
<%afny>
ACCIDENTALLY.
01:16
<@Ceddobear>
IT SORTA KINDA ISH MAYBE HAPPENED.
01:17
<@Ceddobear>
Kev, Noah, do you need T piecesss
01:17
<%afny>
pneumatics?
01:17
<@Ceddobear>
Yeah.
01:17
<%afny>
uhh I could use a couple but I have a bit left
01:17
<%afny>
I only used them in mgn feet
01:17
<~Noah>
I could use more
01:17
<@Ceddobear>
Well, you are building MgNs, right?
01:17
<@Ceddobear>
I throw 8 in, each.
01:17
<%afny>
yeah
01:17
<%afny>
woo
01:18
<@Ceddobear>
Clip tiles / clip plates?
01:18
<%afny>
oh god clip tiles.
01:18
<%afny>
I have zero clip tiles
01:18
<%afny>
a
01:18
<@Ceddobear>
I think I have a hundred in light bley.
01:18
<%afny>
nd there are at least 6 in everything
01:18
<%afny>
EVEN GUNS
01:18
<@Ceddobear>
Okay, I'll give ya ... 24.
01:19
<~Noah>
I could use clip plates, don't need tiles
01:19
<@Ceddobear>
Noah gets plates, then.
01:19
<%afny>
I'm pretty set on clip plates actually
01:19
<%afny>
I found an UNUSED baggy of 20 from BL
01:19
<%afny>
that I just didn't use
01:19
<%afny>
well I guess that's implied by the word UNUSED in all caps.
01:19
<%afny>
hm
01:19
<%afny>
I think I'll make this cop company
01:19
<%afny>
underbidding melee defense
01:19
<~Noah>
Wait...you didn't use them?
01:20
<%afny>
I used a ton of them, but I had a lot in my collection, mostly black and old light grey
01:20
<@Ceddobear>
Afny: 2 Captains, 3 slashers, 3 big slashers. :D

01:20
<%afny>

<@Ceddobear>
Oh, I will torment you guys.
01:21

01:23
<~Noah>
Totally a thing.
01:23
<%afny>
Well if I got soap from Cedric
01:24
<%afny>
I'd just assume it was manufactured with human fat
01:24
<%afny>
like in Fight Club
01:24
<%afny>
and I'm not sure how I'd feel about htat.
01:24
<%afny>
that*
01:24
<@Ceddobear>
Your assumption would be correct.
01:25
<@Ceddobear>
Kev, Noah. PM me your addresses on the forum.
01:25
<%afny>
I assume you sell it at vintage GDR shopes as "Anti-fascist odor remover and sanitizer"
01:25
<@Ceddobear>
Shipping these mailers out tomorrow.
01:26
<%afny>
or maybe something a little more catchy, like "Fuck Germs, SOAP."

do want
01:29
<%afny>
used the last of mine in the ramiel's jets
01:29
<@Ceddobear>
Throwing some in.
01:29
<%afny>
oh, wait, not true
01:29
<%afny>
used the last of them in those bits
01:29
<%afny>
that I stole from Soren
01:29
<@Ceddobear>
10 of 'em.
01:29
<%afny>
oo
01:29
<%afny>
that's enough for a conscript and guns for the captans
01:29
<%afny>
+i
01:30
<@Ceddobear>
In that case, I add another 4.
01:30
<%afny>
well the other guys don't use guns, it's probably enough for all of them
01:30
<%afny>
But I'm thinking shock batons
01:31
<@Ceddobear>
Okay, that emptied a whole sorting tray box.

I was thinking of posting a topic on the Hangar to discuss/organize something.
01:34

Soren sort of made a good point in that regard
01:35

that maybe stuff like that should just kind of be private and happen on the side

01:39

hm, oh
01:39
<%afny>
I see what you mean
01:40
<%afny>
it's not in there
01:40

Oh
01:40

oh no, it is

<@randolph>
ty
01:40
<@randolph>
ouch the hinges
01:41
<@randolph>
I have... 1
01:41
<%afny>
you can use 1x2 hinges
01:41
<%afny>
if you have those
01:41
<@randolph>
no :|
01:41
<@randolph>
brackets should work, but I have 3 of those
01:41
<%afny>
oh, you mean the hinge plates?
01:41
<%afny>
not the bricks
01:41
<%afny>
?
01:41
<~Noah>
Once I have actual internet, I plan on getting the bot running on the desktop and logging from there
01:41
<@randolph>
I mean the 90 degree connection from the panel to the plate
01:41
<@randolph>
wall panel to floor
01:42
<%afny>
yeah, I can't think of a compact way to do that as well
01:42
<@randolph>
You know, without the roof dish, this would also make an amazing emitter array or energy collector
01:42
<%afny>
tile clips and a 1x2 plate with bar would be ALRIGHT
01:42
<@randolph>
I'm trying to come up with some company-specific stations
01:42
<%afny>
yeah, same
01:42
<%afny>
thus the yurt
01:43
<~Noah>
Or hydro-collector
01:43
<@randolph>
Yeah, which is cool
01:43
<~Noah>

Have you seen George Lucas in Love?
01:43
<@randolph>
It's amazing
01:43
<@randolph>
Old, but amazing
01:43
<%afny>
I'm trying to come up with another company specific station now, but failing
01:44
<%afny>
...a car, a weapons depot, a fuel cell
01:44
<%afny>
all my ideas for it are so boring
01:45
<~Noah>
Peach farm
01:45
<@randolph>
Depends on attack or defense
01:45
<%afny>
Damn your peaches
01:45
<@randolph>
For defenders, 3 yurts makes sense
01:45
<@randolph>
It's your house / civilian population / hidden weapons program / whatever
01:45
<%afny>
the yurt is for my ijad company though
01:45
<~Noah>
Peach orchards make since too
01:45
<~Noah>
sense*
01:45
<%afny>
I need one for my FC company
01:45
<@randolph>
For attackers: dropships, satellite uplink, fuel trucks
01:45
<@randolph>
supply convoy
01:46
<~Noah>
BRAIN SLUGS LOVE PEACHES
01:46
<%afny>
that's genric
01:46
<%afny>
generic*
01:46
<%afny>
I might make one, but anyone would fight over a supply convoy
01:46
<@randolph>
Right
01:46
<@randolph>
That's why it's good
01:46
<%afny>
I want something that I lay down every time I field the company
01:46
<@randolph>
If you want it FC specific, make it FC supply convoy
01:46
<@randolph>
do it in their colors
01:46
<%afny>
do they even have colors
01:46
<~Noah>
I wonder if stations will ever give bonuses
01:46
<%afny>
is orange their color
01:46
<%afny>
I don't have any orange.
01:46
<~Noah>
Like rerolling a die once a turn, etc
01:46
<@randolph>
They have colors
01:47
<%afny>
Noah: stations already have a bonus
01:47
<@randolph>
Noah: i wrote up houserules in rules forum
01:47
<@randolph>
Where stations have a battlefield presence
01:47
<%afny>
you can forgo damage and move one ruler (or is it direct fire distance) away from the station
01:47
<~Noah>
Oh, well, I always forget to go by the rules forum
01:47
<@randolph>
afny: What I mean is
01:47
<@randolph>
FC is kinda hodgepodge
01:48
<~Noah>
Some kids respond to the airplane spoon
01:48
<~Noah>

01:48
< Mantisking>
I've been working on company specific stations for a while.
01:49
<@randolph>
so if UMFL supply convoy is painted military camo
01:49
<@randolph>
then FC supply convo is like repurposed civvie vehicles
01:49
<%afny>
yeah, but again, everyone would fight over that
01:49
<%afny>
like I'm not saying it's a bad station idea, I just don't think it's what I want for my single company specific station for an FC company
01:49
<%afny>
it's not striking enough
01:50
<@randolph>
Hm.
01:50
<@randolph>
Why is "everyone would fight over this" a bad thing?
01:50
<@randolph>
Everyone DOES fight over stations
01:50
<@randolph>
that's what they're for
01:50
<@Ceddobear>
Hrm.
01:50
<@Ceddobear>
I am a weird person. I think.
01:51
<@randolph>
Yes, but why now?
01:51
<%afny>
yeah, but again, I want one station I put on the table for each of my companies to have a SPECIFIC meaning to them
01:51
<~Noah>
Yea, Ced wants certain stations
01:51
<%afny>
A WEIRD PERSON you say
01:51
<@Ceddobear>
I just went to the bathroom to take a leak. Did that. And decided to do some laundry. It's 3am in the morning.
01:51
<~Noah>
Like, a station that is a pornozine stand, Ced would be on that like stink on a polecat
01:51
<%afny>
...does that mean you're committed to staying awake until...5 am
01:51
<%afny>
for a full dry cycle
01:51
<@Ceddobear>
So I just put the undies of my roomies and I on the "thing you put clothes to dry on majigger", and put in another load.
01:52
<@Ceddobear>
I am going to be up until 6 or 7 am, Kev.
01:52
<@randolph>
drying rack?
01:52
<@randolph>
clothesline?
01:52
<@Ceddobear>
Sure, drying rack works.
01:52
<%afny>
hm
01:52
<%afny>
maybe I'll make
01:52
<%afny>
a MACDANIELS
01:52
<~Noah>
Is it one of those that extends between apartments? How quaint!
01:53
<@Ceddobear>
It's one of those fold-up stow-away things.
01:53
<~Noah>
Oh, lame
01:58
<%afny>
Oh, Ced
01:59
<%afny>
I finally looked through the terrain forum today
01:59
<%afny>
that last LDD station you did is ridiculous
01:59
<@Ceddobear>
Which one? The Comm Array?
01:59
<%afny>
yeah
01:59
<@Ceddobear>
Why?
01:59
<%afny>
like good ridiculous.
01:59
<@Ceddobear>
Oh, thanks!
02:00
<@Ceddobear>
Have you SEEN what's on there?
02:00
<@Ceddobear>
I grabbed EVERYTHING I could.
02:00
<%afny>
I didn't dl it, but from the pictures it's pretty intense
02:00
<%afny>
the crossbow is hilarious
02:00
<@Ceddobear>
Lemme take new pictures.
02:00
<@Ceddobear>
Better renders.
02:00
<%afny>
I'm looking at bits of it to steal currently
02:00
<%afny>
I think I want to make a small radio station
02:01
<%afny>
like a simple community tower, not anything industrail

There's a computer keyboard in there.
02:05
<@Ceddobear>
And a fucking pickaxe.
02:05
<@Ceddobear>
A grappling hook on top.
02:05
<@Ceddobear>
Binocs everywhere. :D
02:05
<%afny>
I didnt even notice the hook
02:05
<%afny>
what's the part on the back
02:05
<%afny>
right before you get to the 2x2 round bricks
02:05

it's like a weird slope thing, big

02:10
<%afny>
it's funny
02:10
<%afny>
not only does it SOUND funny
02:10
<%afny>
it's also associated with funny sounds
02:10
<%afny>
a FLANGER.
02:10
<~Noah>
Phalanges?
02:10
<%afny>
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flanging
02:10
<@Ceddobear>
The humor totally eludes me.
02:11
<@Ceddobear>
Isn't that a flange?
02:11
<%afny>
what
02:11
<%afny>
WHAT
02:11
<%afny>
isn't WHAT a flange
02:11
<@Ceddobear>
Like, I was working in a steel plant.
02:11
<@Ceddobear>
And we had C bars and H bars.
02:11
<@Ceddobear>
And the ridges on the side were called flanges.
02:11
<@randolph>
this isn't definitional humor
02:11
<@randolph>
Afny is amused by the phonemes
02:11
<%afny>
well for me it wasn't really humor at all, I just think flange is a sweet word
02:12
<@randolph>
No, no, afny, PHONEMES. More expensive words!
02:12
<%afny>
but the similarity between flange (rim or lip) and flange (audio effect) is like
02:12
<%afny>
it's because a flange/lip is two separate bits that fit together closely, but not completely
02:13
<%afny>
and a flange effect in audio is like, a repetition of the same sound delayed very slightly
02:13
<%afny>
so it's like, the similarity in concepts is about the short distance of difference in the two iterations
02:13
<%afny>
it wasn't so much funny as a word that just makes me want to type it in all caps
02:13
<%afny>
or say it loudly and enthusiastically
02:14

I am sad, because I am down to my last 2 cans of soda

02:19
<%afny>
I need coffee for brilliant ideas
02:19
<%afny>
but I'll wait until morning
02:19
<@randolph>
so uh
02:19
<@Ceddobear>
I really should take pictures of this entire Ijad company.
02:19
<%afny>
I keep telling you to do that!
02:19
<@randolph>
Apparently even when I make a "serious mech" my subconscious is fighting me
02:19

your stuff is very sculptural. You've got an idea of what you're making and you build it up brick by brick
02:24
<%afny>
if you aren't happy with your mech design, maybe it's because you're thinking about it in terms of bricks instead of the mech
02:25
<@randolph>
Apparently that means my subconscious wanted to make a chocobo
02:25
<@randolph>
Hm hm
02:25
<%afny>
like, what kind of mech do you want to make?
02:25
<@Ced23Ric>
Maybe you are just a bit goofy. :D
02:25
<@randolph>
Well, that has been part of the problem - I don't really know
02:25
<%afny>
nothing wrong with goofy mechs
02:25
<@randolph>
I know what I like
02:25
<%afny>
did you check out that rongYIREN guy?

but he's an example of someone that has a sort of cartoony, goofy aesthetic
02:27
<%afny>
and still makes believable robots
02:28
<%afny>
yeah his gonks were the first think of his I saw
02:28
<%afny>
or something like gonks, it's not that picture but they're very similar

02:29
<%afny>
haha yeah, I love those
02:29
<%afny>
the royal guard
02:30
<@randolph>
This guy is excellent, thanks for the heads up
02:31
<@randolph>
re: thinking about general shape, so like "humanoid?"
02:31
<@randolph>
Or do you mean more like "a Loki"
02:31
<%afny>
well, either
02:31
<%afny>
I mean, those are two distinct shapes. If you have an existing mech in mind, you can just try to copy that design
02:32
<%afny>
like the Hi-Leg is basically Soren's take on the Zentradi battle pod
02:32
<@randolph>
Oh jesus. http://www.flickr.com/photos/47062214@N00/6554518621/in/photostream
02:32
<@randolph>
Hm.
02:32
<%afny>
Another obvious step is to just copy a few people's builds and then slowly modify them until you have something completely different
02:32
<%afny>
you'll learn about new connections faster than discovering them on your own that way
02:33
<@randolph>
Yeah, I think part of the problem wrt humanoid mechs for me has been option paralysis
02:33
<@randolph>
There are just so many awesome ones to choose from
02:33
<@Ced23Ric>
Start with a Chub.
02:33
<@Ced23Ric>
Figure out what's up.
02:33
<@Ced23Ric>
Then do that Super Chub.
02:34
<@randolph>
Hehe
02:34
<@Ced23Ric>

Then beef it up.
02:34
<@Ced23Ric>
Try an MgN.
02:34
<@Ced23Ric>
And then make it yours.
02:34
<%afny>
those are the three that I would suggest too
02:34
<@Ced23Ric>
Those three are good starting points to play around with.
02:34
<@Ced23Ric>
You get very different approaches.
02:34
<%afny>
other than the Nimrod, those are the three I started with and I learned new connections from each of them
02:34
<@randolph>
Ok. I did start with Chubs (Blasto and variants)
02:34
<%afny>
and each one has different proportions
02:34
<@randolph>
Including Daisuke variants
02:34
<%afny>
so when you get an idea for a frame, you can be like
02:35
<%afny>
well, this one would be fat and cartoony, so I'll make a chub
02:35
<@randolph>
heh
02:35
<%afny>
or this one is a guy who flies around in space, so I'll make it an MgN
02:35
<%afny>
etc
02:35
<@randolph>
nod
02:35
<%afny>
but there's plenty of other ways to do a pelvis, for example
02:35
<@Ced23Ric>
Damn, I need some white paper.
02:35
<@Ced23Ric>
*searches the appartment.*
02:36
<%afny>
it's in your backpack, dude

I don't wanna write. I need a backdrop.
02:38
<@randolph>
Open a blank page in your browser, put the things in front of your monitor, done
02:38
<@Ced23Ric>
That guys is more artist then builder.
02:38
<@Ced23Ric>
-s
02:38
<%afny>
he's both
02:38
<@randolph>
He's got some *incredible* builds
02:38
<%afny>
some of his mechs have very solid engineering behind them
02:38
<%afny>
he just does sculptural stuff too
02:39
<@randolph>
Ok, so conscript, MgN...
02:40
<@Ced23Ric>
Yeah, try those.
02:40
<@randolph>
Conveniently, they're all in the hangar
02:40
<@Ced23Ric>
Kev, I did my white balance. :D
02:40
<%afny>
yesss
02:41
<%afny>
the mgn in the hangar is a little...
02:41
<%afny>
crazy
02:41
<%afny>
it's a very VERY customizable frame
02:41
<@randolph>
Well, the key is the framework right?
02:41
<%afny>
yeah
02:41
<@randolph>
Just build the skeleton, screw around with variants for awhile
02:42
<@Ced23Ric>
Give him the breakdown shot, Kev.
02:42
<@Ced23Ric>
That'll be all he needs.

02:42
<%afny>
and a bunch of others
02:42
<@randolph>
nice
02:43
<@randolph>
thanks

I remember this, I just never came back hehe

Okay. Uploading time.
02:44
<@Ced23Ric>
There's 4 cones missing on the NARC launchers of the Artys.
02:44
<@Ced23Ric>
And one white Travis brick, but I dare you to find it. :D
02:45
<@Ced23Ric>
OH WOW LOL FUCK.
02:45
<@Ced23Ric>
This white balance is SCREWED.
02:45
<@Ced23Ric>
Time for Photoshop.
02:45

I find Picasa handles post processing well enough
02:47
<@Ced23Ric>
Pretty sure I can fix this in the RGB channels.
02:50
<@randolph>
afny: Still totally digging the crates
02:50
<%afny>
I think I may actually use those as generic stations
02:51
<%afny>
just a pile of crates
02:51
<%afny>
too small to be cover
02:51
<@randolph>
They've got this pressurized-mechanical sci-fi FPS crate look
02:51
<@Ced23Ric>
Oky ... these pictures are really borked.
02:51
<@randolph>
You can totally imagine one going WHSSSHHHH-CLUNK and popping open
02:51
<@Ced23Ric>
I'll get a new white balance. :D

02:52

they're all such unmitigated badasses
02:52
<@Ced23Ric>
My artillery has wheels. :D
02:52
<%afny>
your camera is totally fucked, dude
02:52
<@randolph>
Augh, XG beat me to the koolaid joke!
02:52
<@Ced23Ric>
And that's after I reduced the blue channel. :D
02:53
<%afny>
yeah, I really like the wheels. They also look like they'd provide some good traction to handle the recoil
02:53
<@Ced23Ric>
Yupp.
02:53
<@Ced23Ric>
How do you like the tarantula butts?
02:53
<%afny>
then again those missiles probably just vent out the back
02:53
<%afny>
I need a detail shot, what are they connected to?
02:53
<%afny>
it just looks like a big black mass
02:53
<%afny>
minus the m
02:53
<@Ced23Ric>
Well, you know the base octagonal plate of every Scrambler?
02:54
<%afny>
yea
02:54
<@Ced23Ric>
Octaplate, 2x 2x2 round brick, 1x 2x2 round plate, octaplate.
02:54
<@Ced23Ric>
The wheel fits perfectly over the 2x2 round bricks.
02:54
<@randolph>
I think I need to see a closeup of the butt
02:54
<@randolph>
...
02:54
<%afny>
I was talking about the butt
02:54
<%afny>
not the wheels
02:54
<@randolph>
<out of context>
02:54
<%afny>
i'm confused
02:55
<@randolph>
The butt has a giant wheel
02:55
<%afny>
one of those GIANT black ones?
02:55
<@randolph>
Yeah
02:55
<@Ced23Ric>
Yes.
02:55
<%afny>
Ah
02:55
<%afny>
AH
02:55
<@Ced23Ric>
That's a wheel.
02:55
<%afny>
that's what it is.
02:55
<@Ced23Ric>
It's 5x5 large, approx.
02:55
<%afny>
Oh, I thought you were describing something else
02:55
<@Ced23Ric>
And 2 bricks tall.
02:55
<%afny>
but now I see
02:55
<%afny>
yeah I have a few
02:55
<@randolph>
I think Ced23Ric was tyred of other butts
02:55
<%afny>
I used one in a ship

02:56
<@randolph>
Thank you.
02:56
<@Ced23Ric>
Because you missed your chance.
02:56
<%afny>
the same as the one in the back right?
02:56
<@randolph>
I just like to mix things up, you knwo?
02:56
<@Ced23Ric>
Yupp.
02:56
<%afny>
that one is my favorite
02:56
<@randolph>
shades, no shades, sometimes I rock the monocle.
02:56
<@Ced23Ric>
There is two Soldiers, two Big Guns, one Captain, three Arty.
02:57

I'll fix the white balance and do some individual shots.

yeah, it's my favorite too
03:11
<@Ced23Ric>
Probably my favourite, too. :D
03:11
<@Ced23Ric>
It just looks very polished.
03:11

all of them look good.
03:11
<@Ced23Ric>
Thanks! :)
03:11
<%afny>
the integration of the gray is very good
03:11

Next month, I'll build the white/black with blue version.
03:12
< ferrelferret>
I need to get more bricks
03:12
<@Ced23Ric>
I'mma take some pictures of the Chubs with the backdrop.

On another note, I saw Prometheus today. :)

oh, was it good?

did it feel like Alien?

I was going to ask what the hell the ship was doing up in the Turbopause before the cut scene.
03:16
<@randolph>
Oh!
03:16
<@randolph>
Right
03:17
< ferrelferret>
But, alas, I was super busy
03:17
<@randolph>
You asked about WT stuff, I should respond with Clarity's search results
03:18
<@randolph>
Except... I'm waiting for Forged, because we're in the middle of a meeting, nvm
03:18
< ferrelferret>
Well, I figured we all know that the hull damage had a WT hit. But I was wondering about 'the fluorite in the turbopause'.
03:18
< ferrelferret>
yeah
03:19
<@randolph>
I meant, this part:
03:19
<@randolph>
"Most likely match in all three categories: 'Say something in Japanese'. Runners-up, by relevance: 1) Military testing of bio-accumulative toxins on civilian populations in 20th century North America. 2) Effects of persistent high-altitude microparticle layer on Odvisteurlan military communications. 3) Approximately 299792458.6153820 meters per second. "
03:19
< ferrelferret>
oh yeah.
03:19
<@Ced23Ric>
Fuck these guys look good.
03:20
<@randolph>
Who gets to play them?
03:20
< ferrelferret>
yes, yes, Ced... We all know your great at building LEGO. :P
03:20
<@Ced23Ric>
Nah, it's not my effort, dude.
03:21
<@Ced23Ric>
It's that MoralWarfare guy.
03:21
< ferrelferret>
I know
03:21
<@Ced23Ric>
I am astonished how WICKED that articulation is.
03:21
< ferrelferret>
He got the legs I was looking for!
03:22
< ferrelferret>
He just all around pimped that design
03:22
< ferrelferret>
I'm going to start building Chubs like that from now on. XD
03:22
<@Ced23Ric>
*downloads pictures from cam*
03:23

03:23

I feel so ... dumb. Inadequate.
03:23
<@randolph>
oy
03:23
<@randolph>
those legs
03:23
<@randolph>
They're Kabutos legs, reversing the bits above and below the knees, with a clip+tooth inserted
03:24
< ferrelferret>
would anyone here be interested in playing some MF0 in real-time via Map Tools?
03:24
< ferrelferret>
I'm seeing what type of interest there is before I start building tokens.

03:27
<@randolph>
right
03:28

the clip+tooth insert is really cool
03:28

and flipping it over lets you add dishes, which is also really cool

I had 4 off-colour taps.
04:29

And then I took my MgN construction sites.
04:29
<@Ced23Ric>
And ripped 4 black taps out of there.
04:29
<@Ced23Ric>
But the light grey ones in there.
04:30
<@Ced23Ric>
And then, I liberated another 8 taps from the 4 Old Couatls.
04:30
<@Ced23Ric>
Then, I had enough taps to retrofit all 8 Chubs.
04:30
<@Ced23Ric>
It was quite the battle.

Whenever a 'frame is destroyed ... shoot it.

We tried it the other day.

It absolutely obliberates a Chub.
04:44

what you really need is a nerf gun on an xy track above the board
04:44
< XGundam05>
with a laser display system
04:44
< XGundam05>
that has shrinking crosshairs when activated

How long-term is the move? I might be concerned about humidity
06:37

(for the books)
06:38

it's sufficiently long-term that it's measured in years.

True story. We were on the way to his car leaving our local Food City parking lot, and these guys in this...I'll call it a truck, but it had huge wheels and exhaust pipes running up the sides, yelled it at us, then peeled out of the lot.
06:44
<@randolph>
...
06:45

There was considerable questioning of what we actually heard on the way back to his house, but we couldn't think of anything else we might've heard except what we thought we heard.

11:21

His 'frame is a smoking wreck anyway.
11:21
<@Ced23Ric>
The only thing I am not sure about is whether he still gets his actions.
11:21
< Dukayn>
Plus he was in the open in DF range, so it was one of the only ones he could spot.
11:21
< Dukayn>
Um. Was he destroyed by the frame that he activated?
11:21
< Dukayn>
I didn't read it properly as I was helping someone move house
11:24
<@Ced23Ric>
Yeah, I am not sure how it works.
11:24

Well one-shots stop all actions

Yes.

I just scanned the entire document. Not a word about one-shots.
11:26

Maybe I can find a preview.
11:27

Frame destruction = no actions I'm pretty sure

there are 4 squares per block

thus, 2 blocks = 8 squares = DF

Alright.
11:36

Editted it to DF.
11:36

In the brick, you can just measure and go.

I made the Nightingale stupidly tall :P
14:31
<@Ced23Ric>
I see that!
14:31
<@Ced23Ric>
Also, the arms are comically long. :D
14:31
< Dukayn>
it's taller than a Chub while kneeling
14:31
< Dukayn>
They're a brick longer than a Chub arm, and they've always been that long :P
14:31
< afny>
I actually...really like it
14:32
< afny>
the proportions are slick
14:32
< Dukayn>
it's just not... to scale.
14:32
< afny>
I don't think the Chub is the upper limit of frame height
14:32
< Dukayn>
no but it's basically the standard
14:33
< Dukayn>
also, that's his height KNEELING
14:33
< afny>
I mean, size and scale are different. It could just be a really tall, really lanky frame. As long as there is a 7p person in its chest, it's "to scale"
14:33
< Dukayn>
True
14:33
< afny>
you could do what randolph said and actually play it kneeling on the table
14:33
< afny>
I mean, it looks good that way
14:33
< Dukayn>
I never really plan on having him stand purely upright, no
14:35
< afny>
in the brick, how do the legs connect?
14:35
< afny>
taps directly into a 5 way?

it's a WarMachine leg
14:39
< afny>
I mean at the crotch
14:39
< Dukayn>
oright
14:39
< afny>
I assume what it's like now is because of the ldd limitation on taps
14:39
< afny>
is it just a chub connection?
14:39
< afny>
in the brick, I mean
14:39
< Dukayn>
travis, clips, taps
14:39
< Dukayn>
clips on the travis, holding the taps
14:39
< afny>
but there really are clips on the side of the travis in the brick?
14:39
< Dukayn>
Yep
14:39
< afny>
if you did it like a chub, you'd shave off about 1 stud of height
14:40 MittenNinja [MittenNinja@Nightstar-e5d36bd2.tmodns.net] has joined #mf0
14:40
< Dukayn>
and lose a point of rotation
14:40
< afny>
if you just clipped the taps in on the top of the thighs and shoved the taps into the holes of the 5way
14:40
< afny>
how so?
14:40
< Dukayn>
hmm actually, good point
14:40
< afny>
I think you would actually GAIN articulation
14:41
< afny>
because the taps could be rotated up and down for about 30 degrees of movement from the travis studs
14:41
< afny>
but the clips wouldn't rotate very far
14:41
< Dukayn>
actually
14:41
< Dukayn>
the clips do a full 180 rotation
14:41
< Dukayn>
so he can do the can-can
14:42
< Dukayn>
and kick back like a mule
14:43
< Dukayn>
http://www.dukayn.net/MFZ/JA11WM_SizeComparison.png << hehehe, he's kinda tall :P
14:45
< MittenNinja>
Just a smidgen :)
14:45
< afny>
I still think he's legit
14:45
< Dukayn>
I think you have a point
14:45
< Dukayn>
his size is all leg
14:45
< Dukayn>
given that's all I've replaced.
14:46
< MittenNinja>
His legs are twice as long as the chubs
14:46
< MittenNinja>
Which is like, half of a normal sized.frame
14:46
< Dukayn>
so?
14:47
< MittenNinja>
So he's tall?
14:47
< Dukayn>
Yeah but is that a problem?
14:47
< MittenNinja>
No
14:47
< Dukayn>
Would you complain if I were to field that against you?
14:47

< MittenNinja>
Nah not at all
14:48
< MittenNinja>
Height doesn't impact.gameplay at all
14:49
< Dukayn>
Would you say he's within scale?
14:49
< Dukayn>
Because "afnyI mean, size and scale are different. It could just be a really tall, really lanky frame. As long as there is a 7p person in its chest, it's "to scale" << I tend to agree
14:49
< MittenNinja>
Yeah pretty much
14:49
< afny>
There are surely upper limits in the lore
14:49
< afny>
a skyscraper sized mech piloted by a guy probably won't fly
14:49
< Dukayn>
well yeah
14:49
< afny>
but he's not that big
14:50
< afny>
not even gundam sized, really
14:50
<@Ced23Ric>
Dukey: Amended the post reflecting your reply.
14:50
< afny>
in lore, he's probably just got some extra muscle cylinders in his legs and he's got some complicated balancing software
14:51
< Dukayn>
Course I could lose height by changing the feet
14:51
< Dukayn>
the feet are 2 studs high :P

is the red accenting on the shoulder new?
14:54

and the red chins?
14:55

or do you all your serpents have red
14:55

Nah, those are new.
14:55

accenting is key
14:55
< afny>
KEY
14:55
< afny>
the only thing I don't like
14:56
< afny>
is the clear fact that they slaughtered two Couatls to make those shoulderpads.
14:57
< Dukayn>
lol
14:57
< Dukayn>
Ced23Ric: I fixed the 'gale arms
14:57

they're now closer to Chub length and look much nicer
14:58

2 each shoulder and the chest, too.

The disc into the slotted stud thing.

The ball into any hole a bar would go into.

a blue, white, and green "chub" with a giant pot leaf on its ass
15:48

a red chub

and then my four left over nimrods
15:49

so the red and brown one with guns, the tall one with missiles and a cannon (blue/dark gray), the brown and tan one with a small head and spears, and the dark gray and brown one

Why so pimp?

erf
17:52
<@Ceddobear>
Impressively eloquent.
17:52
<@randolph>
hey guys
17:52
<@Ceddobear>
Heya Randy!
17:55
<@randolph>
Oh dur.
17:55
<@Ceddobear>
Good god, so many containers ...
17:55
<@randolph>
I should've just answered the activation order question here
17:55
<@randolph>
Welp, forum post count++ I guess
17:56
<@Ceddobear>
Which one now?
17:57
< afny>
Alright Ced, ready for these?
17:57
<@Ceddobear>
Hit me.
17:57
< afny>
the first four you've basically seen before...just 3 of the nimrods repurposed. The new one isn't done yet, not sure what it's hardmounts will be
17:57
< afny>
http://i.imgur.com/AeVW8.jpg?1
17:57
< afny>
They're the enforcers. The muscle. The watchdogs.
17:57
<@Ceddobear>
I never liked the canister launcher.
17:57
< afny>
it's pretty big
17:58
<@Ceddobear>
It's only big.
17:58
< afny>
Really I don't like either of those weapons
17:58
<@Ceddobear>
Not pretty. :D
17:58
< afny>
I'll make it so it's like the missile bay on the red one
17:58
<@Ceddobear>
Yeah.
17:58
< afny>
I can do one that's pretty close to that at least
17:58
< afny>
really none of the weapons on those except for the red one are done
17:59
< afny>
anyway, here are the other four frames
17:59
< afny>
these are the bosses. the dons.

<@Ceddobear>
HAHAHAHA.
17:59
<@Ceddobear>
Oh fuck yes.
17:59
< afny>
that is pretty much how I feel.
17:59
<@Ceddobear>
HE HAS A FUCKING RING.
17:59
<@Ceddobear>
WITH BLING.
17:59
<@randolph>
ced, the activation order if B destroys A thing
17:59
<@Ceddobear>
ON HIS FINGER.
18:00
< afny>
he COULD have two, but I think one is more tasteful.
18:00
<@Ceddobear>
Randy: So A shoots B.
18:00
<@Ceddobear>
What about the spot?
18:00
<@randolph>
Spot happens too
18:00
<@Ceddobear>
Boo. :(
18:00
<@randolph>
ENTIRE TURN happens
18:00
<@randolph>
It's over and done before B goes
18:00
<@randolph>
Like, if he wanted to thank the Academy or paint his toes, it would happen too
18:01
<@Ceddobear>
Hate it when a 'frame thanks the Academy.
18:01
<@randolph>
afny: I... somehow I don't think tasteful is on that guy's list of requirements
18:01
< afny>
are you kidding me
18:01
< afny>
he's all class.
18:01
<@randolph>
If tasteful was a concern, he would not wear a gemstone the size of a grown man's head
18:01
<@randolph>
On his pinky
18:01
< afny>
it's just a fancy backup camera
18:01
<@randolph>
(He would obviously wear it on his teeth)
18:01
< afny>
or maybe the world's largest ring-pop
18:01
<@randolph>
hahah... chub mod incoming
18:02
< afny>
anyway ced
18:02
< afny>
what do you think about a build for these guys
18:02
<@Ceddobear>
I love their character.
18:03
< afny>
I'm sort of thinking the chub heads will actually be 1Y
18:03
< afny>
for some of them at least
18:04
<@randolph>
i do like the chub heads
18:04
< afny>
oh also
18:04
<@randolph>
If you could bulk up the others' feet like blue guy, that would look more balanced
18:04
< afny>
all of them but the blue one use motors instead of travis
18:04
< afny>
so they have giant motor butts if you look at them from the back
18:04
< afny>
and nah, I tried big feet like that on the red one
18:04
< afny>
it looks dumb
18:04
< afny>
I like the topheavy look
18:05
<@randolph>
ah ok
18:05
<@randolph>
hey, do they make a tuxedo-textured 2x2 tile
18:05
<@randolph>
because that's what these guys (and Blasto) needs
18:05
< afny>
I don't see why they would
18:05
<@randolph>
*need
18:06
<@randolph>
I'm on-board with the tommygun idea
18:06
<@randolph>
They also strike me as the type to have at least a pistol in the bunch
18:06
< afny>
yeah definitely
18:06
< afny>
oh, I also have
18:06
< afny>
well
18:06
< afny>
it's really ridiculous but it's a plant piece I'm going to use for a rifle for the blue one
18:07
<@randolph>
I'm thinking frame-sized brass knuckle, but that may be too over-the-top
18:07
<@randolph>
Like OVER the megahand
18:07
< afny>
eh, the red guy already has big hands
18:07
< afny>
and he's going to have a cane
18:07
<@randolph>
haha
18:07
<@randolph>
put the jewel on it
18:07
<@randolph>
or another jewel
18:07
< afny>
yeah I have another jewel for it
18:07
<@randolph>
hhahaha
18:07
<@randolph>
do you have something you can use as a pimpcape?
18:07
< afny>
I have real capes
18:07
< afny>
but they look stupid
18:07
<@randolph>
aw
18:07
<@randolph>
Sad.
18:08
< afny>
I've tried to put them on chubs before but they always flare out at the wrong angle
18:08
<@randolph>
gotcha
18:08
<@randolph>
A big floppy pimphat
18:08
<@randolph>
But let's see... the enforcers...
18:08
< afny>
I actually have a minifig sized tophat
18:08
< afny>
if I can find it I MIGHT try to incorporate it into an SSR pod
18:09
<@randolph>
dual wield energy hatchets (or normal kind)
18:09
<@randolph>
guy with a length of chain
18:09
< afny>
it might be a little over the top, but then again if I wasn't going to go over the top I would've stopped before the pot leaf
18:09
<@randolph>
tommy gun
18:09
<@randolph>
pistols
18:09
< afny>
I used my only chain on the red Nimrod
18:09
<@randolph>
ahok
18:09
< afny>
well I could take it off I guess
18:09
<@randolph>
Do you have any minifig bottles?
18:09
< afny>
nope :C
18:09
<@randolph>
molotov cocktails
18:09
<@randolph>
ok
18:10
< MittenNinja>
Wait til you see the ghillie suits on my fat snake snipers
18:10
< afny>
hand grenades are a good idea though
18:10
< afny>
that's definitely their MO
18:10
< afny>
probably do that instead of SSRS actually
18:10
<@randolph>
some real-world looking less-exotic military hardware wouldn't be out of the question
18:10
< MittenNinja>
You could use the technique to make a badass cape
18:10
<@randolph>
Take a look at Ced's Motherland series?
18:10
<@randolph>
Mittens: Got a pic?
18:10
< afny>
I'd use the guns I used for my Expats, but I'm out of tile clips to attach the mags
18:11
<@randolph>
have you considered the stacked 1x2 plate mags that... Mantisking uses?
18:11
< afny>
they're blocky like ceds because they're motor based, but less russian
18:11
<@randolph>
they turn into bananaclips
18:11
< afny>
uhh I don't know what they look like
18:11
<@randolph>
sec
18:11
<@Ceddobear>
Afny, maybe try the Frontline series, then?

those masonry bricks
18:47
<@Ceddobear>
:D
18:47
<@Ceddobear>
I have no idea what's going on there.
18:47
<@Ceddobear>
There's tubes and antennas and stuff.
18:48
<@Ceddobear>
And solar panels.
18:48
<@Ceddobear>
I made so many containers.
18:50
< afny>
they're cool to have
18:50
< afny>
just scatter them on the table
18:50
< afny>
instant class
18:50
< afny>
urgh
18:50
< afny>
this last chub boss
18:50
< afny>
can't have hands
18:50
< afny>
I only have tile clips and rounds in orange and red
18:50
< afny>
and if I do that he just looks like a party clown
18:51
<@Ceddobear>
THEY CAUGHT HIM RED HANDED.
18:51
< afny>
oh, when I say
18:51
< afny>
orange and red
18:51
< afny>
I mean one orange
18:51
< afny>
and one red
18:51
< afny>
so they would catch him
18:51
< afny>
r
18:51
< afny>
ed and orange handed.
18:51
<@Ceddobear>
Oh.
18:51
<@Ceddobear>
That blows.
18:51
< afny>
i'll find a way to make him look cool
18:51
< afny>
help me wif build
18:52
< afny>
:A
18:52
<@Ceddobear>
Can you give him one red hand and somehow liberate a matching other tile clip?
18:52
< afny>
hm
18:52
< afny>
well
18:52
< afny>
even two red hands looks bad
18:52
< afny>
he's almost all bley
18:52
<@Ceddobear>
No, no.
18:52
< afny>
he has some yellow joints
18:52
<@Ceddobear>
One red, one bley.
18:52
< afny>
oh
18:53
< afny>
uh
18:53
< afny>
let me check
18:53
< afny>
nope
18:53
< afny>
my red frames don't have any to give up
18:53
<@Ceddobear>
Look for a bley tileclip.
18:53
< afny>
that's what I looked for
18:54
<@Ceddobear>
If need be, one bley 'frame gets an orange hand.
18:54
< afny>
that's DISGUSTING
18:54
<@Ceddobear>
It may be necessary.
18:54
< afny>
this chub is just going to have to not have hands
18:54
< afny>
it's fine
18:54
< afny>
I'll mount miniguns to him or something
18:54
<@Ceddobear>
Kk.
18:54
< afny>
I think I've changed my mind about the cane
18:54
< afny>
it's too ridiculous. The ring is ridiculous enough
18:55
< afny>
the other thing that sucks is I'm going to have to do all my shoulder mounts with plate clips
18:55
< afny>
instead of tile clips
18:55
< afny>
it could be worse, though

no, the black one
18:58
< afny>
what company is the black chub in
18:58

No company, he's just for shits and giggles.
18:59

oh
18:59
<@Ceddobear>
To entertain me.
18:59
< afny>

19:01

19:02

three giant revolvers done
19:02

19:02

hm
19:02
< afny>
what else
19:02
< afny>
need the tommy gun still
19:04
<@Ceddobear>
I am building stations. Making them more unique.
19:04
<@Ceddobear>
Throwing every random part that I can find at them.
19:04
< afny>
I keep meaning to do that
19:04
< afny>
and then I make frames
19:04
< afny>
make frames until my fingers bleed
19:04
< afny>
what do you think of that dice build
19:04
<@Ceddobear>
Ha!
19:04
< afny>
not enough spot?
19:04
<@Ceddobear>
Nah, that's fine.
19:04
<@Ceddobear>
You have 5 Captains.
19:05
< afny>
they are mob bosses after all
19:06
< afny>
hm
19:06
< afny>
the hardest one is the guy in red
19:06
< afny>
dunno how I'm going to give him 1 df
19:06
< afny>
a shoulder mount maybe
19:07
<@Ceddobear>
Sure, do that. Simple minigun.
19:08
< afny>
these revolvers are really grenade launchers
19:09
< afny>
hey, what did you use to get the godhand to grab
19:09
< afny>
like, the handle for that sword
19:09
<@Ceddobear>
You're prolly gonna laugh.
19:09
<@Ceddobear>
I opened the hand.
19:09
<@Ceddobear>
Wrapped the fingers around it.
19:09
<@Ceddobear>
And it held.
19:09
< afny>
what was it though
19:09
< afny>
just a brick?
19:10
<@Ceddobear>
Nah, a lightsabre handle.
19:10
< afny>
oh wow
19:10
<@Ceddobear>
Yeah.,
19:11
< afny>
hm
19:11
< afny>
I realize ow
19:11
< afny>
now*
19:12
< afny>
B's on the chubs is a tall order
19:12
< afny>
it'll fuck up their outline
19:12
< afny>
maybe just binocs and a cannister
19:12
< afny>
call it smoke dispersal
19:15
<@Ceddobear>
I'll allow it.
19:21
< afny>
score
19:21
< afny>
found a few round 1x1s
19:21
< afny>
AND a black 1x2 brick for the black chub
19:21
< afny>
so he doesnt have grey in his torso

19:27

stepping out of your base and finding a pylon

or a vulture
19:38

Ah, that.
19:38

I think the expansion full of spider mines was worse.
19:39
<@Soren>
Somehow.
19:39

yeah, that was bad

I mean, pylons don't generally explode.
19:40
<@Soren>
no.

Of course, if I'd been smart, I would have tried to mine more than just that.

Okay.

19:41

only thing that's missing is the red guy's DF system
19:57
< afny>
thanks
19:57
< afny>
yeah I'm really happy with these guys
19:58
< afny>
the guns look much better with the plates

oh, and I replaced the blue one's barrel with a plant piece

Hey, you know, you could give these guys shades
20:32
< afny>
eh, too over the top
20:32
<@randolph>
take out one of the 2x2 round plates in the head, replace with 1x2 black plate, and 2x something else
20:33
<@randolph>
You have A FRAME SIZED SUITCASE
20:33
<@randolph>
You are telling me this is over the top
20:33
< afny>
They look cartoony, but I'm really trying to make them believable in the hard sci-fi setting
20:33
<@randolph>
One man is wearing marijuana brazillian dancer tail feathers.
20:33
< afny>
I mean, they're a flamboyant crime syndicate that's sort of operating with impunity on a colony that the SU doesn't have a lot of control over
20:33
< afny>
they're using stolen and illegally upgraded SU tech
20:33
< afny>
and they're making fun of it
20:34
< afny>
the revolvers are just grenade launchers
20:34
<@randolph>
yeah
20:34
< afny>
I mean
20:34

I don't have any answer for the marijuana brazilian dancer tail feathers

I like the black frame's feet

To 1150px width.
20:35
< afny>
they're more readable ow
20:35

20:35
< afny>
yeah, I tried to give him fancy shoes
20:36
<@randolph>
The plate tooth makes it look like he's got cowboy boots
20:36
<@randolph>
maybe replace the chub feet on him with plate tooth + 1x1 plate?
20:36
<@randolph>
To complete the toe?
20:37
< afny>
dont have any more plate teeth
20:37
<@Ceddobear>
That would be fuck awesome.
20:37
< MittenNinja>
Nice Ceddo. I dog that station
20:37

these are like the end of my parts

20:37
< afny>
you mean make it shorter by 1p
20:37
< MittenNinja>
And by dog I mean dig
20:37
< afny>
and instead of the headlight
20:37
< afny>
use plates and plate tooth
20:37
< afny>
to get like a saddle shoe look?
20:37
< afny>
that would be pretty awesome.
20:37
<@Ceddobear>
Greg: I assumed as much. :D

Unless you were requesting permission to dock.

Because, in that case, PERMISSION GRANTED.
20:38
<@Ceddobear>
Where's your pictures, Greggiepants?
20:40
< afny>
eh, for now I might leave this company at 7
20:40
< afny>
the general consensus is that if you're going to go for less than a full company, to skimp on systems and not on frames, right?
20:40
< afny>
or are there two schools of thought in that regard?
20:40
<@Ceddobear>
Well, there's two approaches.
20:41
<@Ceddobear>
One is, you take max 'frames -1, -1 system. That's ideally the middle. Wonky bet.
20:41
<@randolph>
Depends if you want power or initiative, and where on that scale you want to sit
20:41
<@randolph>
That depends more on how badly your opponent needs initiative
20:42
<@Ceddobear>
Another one is, you take max. 'frames, min'frames*4-1 systems. That should almost always result in AV 5 and highest initiative.
20:42
<@Ceddobear>
And the third is, you underbid like crazy to get AV 7 and then subsequently get your ass handed to you and die a miserable, lonely death.
20:42
<@Ceddobear>
Especially in multiplayer.
20:43
<@randolph>
It's possible not to underbid like crazy and still get AV7 :p
20:43
<@Ceddobear>
Reliably?
20:43
<@randolph>
Really depends on the meta, which is pretty dependent on who you play with
20:43
<@Ceddobear>
So the answer is "No". ;=
20:43
<@Ceddobear>
If I know my meta, I can maximize like a baws.
20:43
<@Ceddobear>
Only to cause a meta-shift.
20:44
<@Ceddobear>
Which I can react to again.
20:44
<@Ceddobear>
Causing another shift.
20:44
<@randolph>
right
20:44
< afny>
so the only advantage to taking 7 fully loaded frames
20:44
<@Ceddobear>
Is having 7 fully loaded 'frames.
20:44
< afny>
is if you just want defense and you know your opponent has eight
20:44
<@randolph>
so if you bid min * 4 -1, the NEXT TIME it doesn't work
20:45
<@randolph>
Someone else will bid min * 4 -2, because you just posted about it
20:45
<@randolph>
There's no surefire way, you just have to read your buddies
20:45
<@randolph>
Or peek in their bags :x
20:46
< afny>
haha okay I solved the red guy's DF problem
20:46

and the two Nimrods are A/A/x/x
20:48

20:48
< afny>
what should the X's be, though. G/B seems solid, but eh
20:49
<@Ceddobear>
Meh.
20:49
<@Ceddobear>
G B is your only option, really.
20:50

trecks?

I've never heard "treck" before
21:22 * randolph looks
21:22
<@Ceddobear>
Ah, it's "trek".
21:23
<@Ceddobear>
That's why.
21:23
<@Ceddobear>
"Treck" is the German spelling.
21:23
<@randolph>
hm, in English, "trek" is "a journey"
21:23
<@randolph>
huh, it's from afrikaans
21:23
<@randolph>
Oh I see
21:24
<@Ceddobear>
The German word refers both to journey, but also how those journeys were - as in, the formation of a long line of "vehicles".
21:24
<@randolph>
It's similar to, but different etymology from tecken
21:24
<@randolph>
*trecken
21:24
<@Ceddobear>
Yeah.
21:24
<@Ceddobear>
Trekking, in English, I think.
21:24
<@randolph>
not quite
21:24
<@randolph>
The "pull" verb in German just didn't pass through into English at all
21:24
<@randolph>
*pull part fo the verb
21:25
<@randolph>
Only the "to move" part

Quick and semi-random question for anyone whose listening. How long is your direct fire range? I've been toying around with 18" my self.
21:45

8 ruler units..?
21:45
<@Ceddobear>

21:45

Yea, those are about 1 inch long.
21:46
<@Ceddobear>
Why even use inches? :D
21:46
<@Ceddobear>
You're coming from WH40k or something like that, eh?
21:47
<@Ceddobear>
And ... one inch is 2.54cm, if I recall correctly.
21:47
<@Ceddobear>
They're closer to 2 inches.
21:48
< CaGeRit>
I haven't played 40k since 4th ed. ATM I play dystopian wars (covenant of antarctica), dust warfare (SSU), Heavy gear blitz (WFPA), MF? (free colonies) and I jsut preordered me some Drop zone commander goodness.

<@Ceddobear>
Well, try hinge bricks.
21:50
<@Ceddobear>
And throw off your shackles. :D
21:51
< afny>
if you have hinge bricks it does seem VERY unnecessary to use any real world unit of measure
21:51
< afny>
Ced, didja see the head turret
21:51
<@Ceddobear>
Bwahahahaha.
21:51
<@Ceddobear>
That's wicked.
21:51
< CaGeRit>
Heh, but if enough people went over to the hinge brick system, wouldn't that simply develop into its own measuring system given enough time?
21:51
<@Ceddobear>
WTF izzat?
21:52
< afny>
it's a 1x2 plate with bar and two round red 1x1

then a red clip tile
21:52

it is indeed magic

So 24-48 hinge bricks.

22:08
<@Ceddobear>

22:08
<@Ceddobear>
1.20m - 1.80m
22:08

(Or 4ft to 6ft...)
22:09

Sorry, had to go set up wii for nephews.
22:10
<@Ceddobear>
It's IRC, I don't expect answers. :D
22:10
< CaGeRit>
I think table setup is really dependent on the sort of terrain you use. If you were doing an urban setup with lots of vertical movement opertunities I'm suer you could have a 3 foot circle and be perfectly happy.
22:11
<@Ceddobear>
I beg to differ.
22:11
<@Ceddobear>
THe problem is how d6G / d8G works.
22:11
<@Ceddobear>
With movement systems, any obstacle is naught.
22:11
<@Ceddobear>
You run right through.
22:12
<@Ceddobear>
And if you do play in such an environment, not taking G will cost you the game.
22:12
< CaGeRit>
If you play the game as the rules are written down to the letter. There is always wiggle room in friendly games.
22:12
<@Ceddobear>
Mhmm, and do what?
22:12
<@Ceddobear>
I mean, you could have elevation.
22:12
<@Ceddobear>
And climb on that.
22:13
<@Ceddobear>
But, still, G moves really, really fast through cover.
22:13
<@Ceddobear>
So 3ft would mean that you can cross the table in almost 2 turns.
22:13
< CaGeRit>
Whats the difference between cover and somthing which entirly blocks the line of sight?
22:13
<@Ceddobear>
Actually, no. You can fire anywhere within one turn.
22:14
<@Ceddobear>
There is no LoS. :D
22:15
< CaGeRit>
So you can shoot through solid obstructions like, say a 10 meter thick concrete wall with the same penalties as shooting through say a shrubbery?
22:15
<@Ceddobear>
You are never gonna waste precious moments discussing LoS. Because there is no LoS.
22:15
<@Ceddobear>
Counter-argument: What do my vertical missiles care about at 10m wall ahead of me?
22:15 afny|away is now known as afny
22:15
< CaGeRit>
see thats where friendly wiggle room comes in in friendly games
22:16
<@Ceddobear>
Well, but MFZ is the great equalizer.
22:16
<@Ceddobear>
There is no "HA I TOOK LRMS, INSTEAD OF A SNIPER RIFLE, SCREW YOU!"
22:16
< afny>
you'd have hard time making terrain/cover that didn't look like frames could shout through/around/over
22:16
<@Ceddobear>
Unless you build a 12m tall, 2m thick wall.
22:16
< afny>
Yea
22:16
<@Ceddobear>
Which would be fairly ... odd.
22:17
<@Ceddobear>
It'd be like 24 bricks tall and 4 thick.
22:17
< afny>
and fucking expensive
22:17
<@Ceddobear>
Or easy too shoot apart. :D
22:17
<@Ceddobear>
Because it's Duplo.
22:18
<@Ceddobear>
Derp.
22:18
< CaGeRit>
Oh, I'm sure, I just love urban engagements, the whole locking down lanes of fire and advancing under cover aspect is a lot of fun. A lot of that goes away when you can just shoot over/through a concrete parking structure. My group has been tinkering with the idea that you need LOS to shoot somthing unless its been tagged with sensors.
22:18
< afny>
haha yes
22:18
< CaGeRit>
As a house rule of course
22:18
< afny>
you're not thinking about the big picture
22:18
<@Ceddobear>
Have you guys played in thick cover yet?
22:18
< afny>
that will stillhappen
22:18
< afny>
because the frames you are shooting will be in cover
22:18
< CaGeRit>
Heres the idea.
22:18
< afny>
and if it's an urban chunky parking garage
22:18
< CaGeRit>
Its kinda long so gimme a sec.
22:18
< afny>
they will be in cover for a while
22:18
< afny>
if you build it
22:19
<@Ceddobear>
Think of John Cena. CAN'T SEE ME, CAN'T SEE ME!
22:19
< afny>
you really don't need LOS rules because the way the spot/cover system works, LOS is more or less built in
22:19
<@Ceddobear>
Exactly. I played a few bricked games, and boy, we had tons of fun eating through cover.
22:19
<@Ceddobear>
We sprayed bricks errywhere.
22:20
< afny>
the ruleset is so elegant, it takes pretty much any type of system, of cover, of communication into consideration and lets you play those scenarios out
22:20
< afny>
using only seven types of dice
22:20
< afny>
well, not counting the d8s
22:20
<@Ceddobear>
Well, I can see where CaGeRit is coming from. He's using a mindset from other games.
22:21
<@Ceddobear>
But those are actually not more detailed, but more cumbersome.
22:21
< afny>
All I'm saying is that just because there isn't a line of sight mechanic doesn't mean those considerations were omitted from the ruleset.
22:21
<@Ceddobear>
We're nodding into each others pocket, Kev.
22:21
< CaGeRit>
The idea is this, there are vertical launch systems, incredibly high callibur weapons that could penetrate most structures/things where frames hide behind. The thing is that if they don't know where exactly the frame they're attacking is the missles/bullets will hit. Making you have to tag it first with a sensor upgrade still allows you to shoot through buildings and such, but makes you do a little more legwork for it.
22:21
< afny>
Yeah I'm mostly still talking to him
22:21
< afny>
we're on the same page
22:21
< afny>
the same line, even
22:22
<@Ceddobear>
CaGeRit: That's already in the game.
22:22
<@randolph>
Cagerit
22:22
<@randolph>
d6 R - d6 B = 0 EV
22:22
<@randolph>
That's what it means if you don't spot
22:22
< afny>
every complex system interaction you can think of is represented by the interplay of spot, defense, movement, and three ranges of offense
22:22
<@Ceddobear>
Cover = 50% of all shots miss the target. You are blind firing.
22:22
<@randolph>
"can't hit shit if you don't spot unless you get damned lucky" is already part of the base assumption
22:22
<@Ceddobear>
Yeah.
22:22
<@Ceddobear>
It's already IN there.
22:22
< CaGeRit>
Ok I concede, we haven't been playing exactly right
22:23
< afny>
and damn elegantly too, without some appendix of weapon types
22:23
<@Ceddobear>
You are only drawing out the game with a second layer of cover. :D
22:23
<@randolph>
I suppose you haven't been following our more lengthy math posts
22:23
< CaGeRit>
I CONCEDE HERES MY WHITE FLAG MAKE THE LOGICAL SENSE STOP IT HURTS US
22:23
<@randolph>
and I don't blame you
22:23
<@Ceddobear>
LOL
22:23
<@Ceddobear>
NO YOU LISTEN.
22:23
<@randolph>
Sorry bro :(
22:23
< afny>
and the other thing that's so incredible (if you're playing with legos) is that the game terrain isn't just representative
22:23
<@randolph>
Stop it Ced, he's traumatized
22:23
< afny>
it's PART of the ruleset
22:23
<@randolph>
shh shhh
22:23
<@randolph>
there there
22:23
<@Ceddobear>
ATK + SPOT - DEF = DMG.
22:23
< CaGeRit>
We haven't been doing cover right so yea now that makes more sense.
22:24
<@Ceddobear>
Heh. :D
22:24
<@Ceddobear>
Cover means you hit only on a 6.
22:24
< CaGeRit>
A lot more sense lol.
22:24
<@randolph>
afk, continue the dogpile
22:24
<@randolph>
<_<
22:24
<@Ceddobear>
4 and 5 hit the cover.
22:24
< afny>
unless it's a melee attack
22:24
<@Ceddobear>
4 is resolved first, then 5, then 6.
22:24
<@Ceddobear>
Cover is reduced by 6 bricks per hit.
22:24
<@Ceddobear>
If cover is reduced below 2 bricks, it doesn't count anymore.
22:24
< afny>
2 bricks or below*
22:24
< afny>
2 bricks isn't cover
22:24
<@Ceddobear>
If there are still 5s left, those now do damage.
22:25
<@Ceddobear>
Yeah, 2 and lower.
22:25
<@Ceddobear>
Basically, you fire your gatling.
22:25
<@Ceddobear>
And it ROARS, eating through the brick wall.
22:25
<@Ceddobear>
But you need to chew through to see your target. :D
22:25
<@Ceddobear>
You can deliberately shoot cover, too.
22:25
< afny>
and you LITERALLY chew through the cover
22:25
<@Ceddobear>
You hit on a 3, 4, 5 and 6.
22:25
<@Ceddobear>
Very correct. Very literally.
22:26
<@Ceddobear>
You can read my bricked battle reports.
22:26
<@Ceddobear>
There's bricks flying erryhwere. ^^
22:26
<@Ceddobear>
Seeberg had to wade through about 40 bricks or so.
22:26
<@Ceddobear>
Spent two turns with only 1W.
22:27
<@Ceddobear>
Kev, looksies.
22:27
<@Ceddobear>
http://www.ced23ric.de/stuff/mf0/rockslab.png
22:27
< CaGeRit>
We've skimmed the rules a few times and threw together some games. Some how we screwed up terrain rules where cover simply adds +1/+2 to the roll and only popped off 1 brick per hit.
22:27
<@Ceddobear>
CaGeRit: Oh noes. That explains it. :D
22:27
< afny>
this is pretty sick
22:28
< afny>
I'm definitely doing some stuff like this, but without the curved slopes
22:28
<@Ceddobear>
Rule of thumb: No fixed modifiers. It's a d6 or a d8. Never anything else. :)
22:28
< afny>
yeah, the ONLY additive quality in the game is spot+attack
22:28
< CaGeRit>
Its what you get when you play 5 or so systems, everything merges together lol.
22:28
<@Ceddobear>
Kev: I'm just trying it out right now. Checking what I can do. If I like it, I'll throw in a bricklink order for a few.
22:28
<@Ceddobear>
CaGeRit: Yeah, I hear ya.
22:28
<@Ceddobear>
I had to drop my 40k knowledge, too.
22:28
< afny>
you should try designing something that's the same as this, but vertical
22:29
<@Ceddobear>
Kev: You mean, a rocky hill, kinda thing?
22:29
< afny>
yeah
22:29
< CaGeRit>
You mean the space game?
22:29
< afny>
so it's thicker cover
22:29
<@Ceddobear>
With some serious elevation?
22:29
< afny>
yeah
22:29
< afny>
FOR THE CLIMBIN
22:29
<@Ceddobear>
CaGeRit: Well, Warhammer 40k / Warhammer Fantasy, where Bloodbowl comes from.
22:29
< afny>
also since you have minerals there
22:29
<@Ceddobear>
Space Marines and such.
22:29
< afny>
do a vespine gas vent
22:29
<@Ceddobear>
FUCK.
22:29
<@Ceddobear>
YOU ARE SO RIGHT.
22:29
<@Ceddobear>
I TOTALLY NEED A MINERALS FIELD.
22:29
< afny>
heh
22:29
<@Ceddobear>
And a vespine vent.
22:30
<@Ceddobear>
Challenge accepted.
22:30
< afny>
and a gateway
22:30
<@Ceddobear>
*salute*
22:30
< afny>
to block your goons
22:30
<@Ceddobear>
Gateway? D:
22:30
< afny>
WOW BUDDY
22:30
< afny>
it's a protoss infantry building
22:30
< CaGeRit>
Fuck your mountains we have dug up the reamins of Hermann von Barth who will lead us to the top of your scraggy slope and stick a grenade down your airpipe.
22:30
<@Ceddobear>
Oh, THAT.
22:30
<@Ceddobear>
CaGeRit: WHAT.
22:30
<@Ceddobear>
My mountains are pristine.
22:30
<@Ceddobear>
And sacred.
22:30
< CaGeRit>
not after hermann von barth is through with them.
22:31
< CaGeRit>
He'll get all up in there and document everything.
22:31
<@Ceddobear>
WHILE WRITING AN ESSAY ON CONTEMPORARY JUDICATIVE M.O.
22:31
<@Ceddobear>
He's a dick.
22:31
<@Ceddobear>
I hate that guy.
22:32
< CaGeRit>
He has taken note of your hatred and written it in his journal.
22:32
< CaGeRit>
He is currently buying supplies and recruiting men to scale your mountains.
22:33
< CaGeRit>
Hmm zombie Herman von Barth.... Not sure how, but I will write that into my factions background.
22:33
< CaGeRit>
anywhat I have dinner to consume, catcha later.

heh
22:35
<@Ceddobear>
Now, some vespine vents.
22:35
<@Ceddobear>
*rubs chin*
22:35
<@Ceddobear>
That one
22:35
<@Ceddobear>
Is gonna be tougher.
22:35
< afny>
yeah, nothing springs to mind
22:36
< afny>
might have to sculpt it out of slopes and cheese
22:36

23:03
<@Ceddobear>
Better angle.
23:04
< afny>
not tall enough to be cover
23:04
< afny>
but not bad
23:04
< afny>
clear bricks are so confusing in ldd
23:06
<@Ceddobear>
Well, it's not meant to be cover.
23:06
<@Ceddobear>
It's pure cosmetic terrain.
23:06
< afny>
buuuut it could be boooth
23:06
< afny>
I guess if it was cover you'd have to rebuild it all the time
23:07
<@Ceddobear>
... exactly.
23:07
<@Ceddobear>
It's also meant to be attached to bigger slabs of rock.
23:07
<@Ceddobear>
That's really just the vents.
23:07
<@Ceddobear>
I'll get on that in a few. *yawns*
23:08
<@Ceddobear>
Maybe go for another smoke first.
23:09
< afny>
I really can't tell if the gas is bubbling out or totally flat
23:09
< afny>
it's so clear
23:09
< afny>
but they look cool
23:10
< afny>
I'm headed out to get some dinner, so goodnight if you go to sleep before I get back

Hey.

kk

Try again.
23:52
<@randolph>
The gas is great, the rock texture is great, I'm just super not-sold on the vents - they look like industrial fan mounts

That's an interesting chunk of microscale.

As in, tectonically sound vents.
23:54

23:54
<@Ceddobear>
Because, it either is smooth outside and bricky inside ... or the other way around.

I'm not saying I have a solution
23:55

I'm saying "this is what I think"

Totally dig the mineral field though
