| 00:00 | <@Soren> | Also, artillery is great for exploiting spots, so the more you've got your 1Y frames in range to lay down, the better. |
| 00:00 | < Tetrajak|work> | fair point |
| 00:02 | < Tetrajak|work> | ok, I have my three companies sorted |
| 00:02 | < Tetrajak|work> | now to begin setup |
| 00:02 | <@Ced23Ric> | Okay, I think I got it. |
| 00:03 | <@Ced23Ric> | triple barrel guns, hex NARC. Works. |
| 00:03 | | * Ced23Ric mashes Soren's ideas together like it's a free-for-all. |
| 00:03 | <@Soren> | and they still work! |
| 00:03 | <@Soren> | Modular design in action. |
| 00:04 | <@Ced23Ric> | Yeah, they do. :D |
| 00:05 | <@Ced23Ric> | Upload once I cleaned this battlefield up. |
| 00:07 | <@Soren> | yay |
| 00:07 | <@Soren> | Man, we got a ton of shit moved and cleaned today. |
| 00:07 | <@Soren> | We might actually be on schedule. |
| 00:10 | | CaGeRit [x@Nightstar-f0d9c21f.hr.cox.net] has joined #mf0 |
| 00:11 | < Tetrajak|work> | Heya CaGe |
| 00:11 | < CaGeRit> | Hey. |
| 00:11 | < CaGeRit> | Now that I've learned how to do the high-rez shots from LDD, I'm gonna upload more frame designs. |
| 00:13 | <@Ced23Ric> | Augh, that hurt. |
| 00:14 | <@Ced23Ric> | I just tried to get a 1x1 round off a 1x1 clip tile. |
| 00:14 | <@Ced23Ric> | Slipped. |
| 00:14 | <@Ced23Ric> | And jammed my thumb nail into my mouth. |
| 00:14 | <@Ced23Ric> | Right above a canine. |
| 00:15 | < CaGeRit> | meep! |
| 00:15 | <@Soren> | ow. |
| 00:15 | < CaGeRit> | I use pliers and an exacto knife for those kinds of procedures. |
| 00:16 | <@Soren> | that works great until you're talking about rare parts and/or colors, and then, no thank you, I want them to be usable afterwards. |
| 00:16 | <@Ced23Ric> | You must be someone with time. |
| 00:16 | <@Ced23Ric> | And, probably, intact mouth flesh. |
| 00:16 | <@Soren> | heh |
| 00:16 | < CaGeRit> | I don't damage the bricks. |
| 00:16 | < CaGeRit> | You just have to be slow and carful. |
| 00:16 | <+afny> | urgh |
| 00:16 | < CaGeRit> | careful8 |
| 00:16 | <+afny> | still can't find my brick separator |
| 00:16 | < CaGeRit> | Being a good speller is not required. |
| 00:17 | <@Soren> | You can get a 4x4 plate and stick it down, then shear sideways. Should pop it right off. |
| 00:17 | < CaGeRit> | Neither is proper grammar. |
| 00:17 | < CaGeRit> | That is also a good trick. |
| 00:17 | <@Ced23Ric> | Everytime you say brick seperator I imagine you, with the full light box on, looking at a 1x2 plate on a 2x2 plate. |
| 00:17 | <@Ced23Ric> | And your tongue is hanging out on one side, and you slooooowly peel them apart. Super-concentrated. |
| 00:18 | <~Noah> | Or a 1x1 plate in the center of a 3x3 plate |
| 00:18 | <@Ced23Ric> | There'd be drool at that point. |
| 00:19 | < CaGeRit> | WD-40 also works wonders. |
| 00:19 | <@Ced23Ric> | Dafuq. |
| 00:19 | <~Noah> | Yea, grease those babies up |
| 00:19 | <~Noah> | make'm real slickery |
| 00:19 | <@Ced23Ric> | Cage is banned from my Legos. |
| 00:19 | < CaGeRit> | I had access to your legos? |
| 00:20 | <@Ced23Ric> | Not anymore, that's for sure. |
| 00:20 | <+afny> | I feel like I need to do that |
| 00:20 | <+afny> | I reaaaally regret stacking all these 1x2 trans plates |
| 00:20 | <~Noah> | He means to say, you're banned from Germany |
| 00:20 | < CaGeRit> | WD-40 is harmless, you can practicaly eat it ( I do not reccomend intentionaly ingesting WD-40 or any industirla lubricant) |
| 00:21 | <~Noah> | Unless the lubricant is flavored |
| 00:21 | <~Noah> | Bow chicka bow wow |
| 00:21 | <@Ced23Ric> | Yeah, edible flavored lubricant is cool stuff. |
| 00:21 | <@Ced23Ric> | Like the one that you exhale against and it heats up a little. |
| 00:21 | <@Soren> | You can also use it to set things on fire underwater. |
| 00:21 | <~Noah> | Makes getting your legos apart easy, and if you have to resort to teeth, they're tasty at that point |
| 00:22 | < CaGeRit> | You laugh, we had a guy at my company get nasty with a lot lizard and used (snomthing)-3000 (petrolium jelly and graphite powder). As I recall she had to go to the hospital and he got busted for soliciting. |
| 00:22 | <@Ced23Ric> | Such a common application, Soren! |
| 00:22 | <~Noah> | Someone has a trucker background |
| 00:23 | <@Ced23Ric> | And: "lot lizard"? |
| 00:23 | < CaGeRit> | <-trucker |
| 00:23 | <~Noah> | It's trucker speak for whore |
| 00:23 | < CaGeRit> | Lot-lizard = truck stop prostitute. |
| 00:23 | <@Ced23Ric> | Oh. |
| 00:23 | <@Ced23Ric> | Gotcha. |
| 00:23 | <@Ced23Ric> | They still don't have benefits and employmnt contracts in the US, eh? |
| 00:23 | <@Soren> | Somebody's education was just furthered! |
| 00:23 | <~Noah> | My dad used to pee in ziplocks, then when they would come knocking on his truck door, he'd roll the window down, and empty it on them |
| 00:24 | < CaGeRit> | Nah, we're still too uptight. |
| 00:24 | <@Ced23Ric> | Poor whores. |
| 00:24 | <~Noah> | When you drove as long as my dad did some times, sleep >>>>>> sex |
| 00:24 | <~Noah> | Plus, married and all |
| 00:25 | <@Ced23Ric> | I am sure they were ... |
| 00:25 | <@Ced23Ric> | !shades |
| 00:25 | < CaGeRit> | I don't blame him they carry horrible diseases, most of them contractable by humans. |
| 00:25 | <@Ced23Ric> | ... pretty pissed. |
| 00:25 | < mf0bot_> | YEEEEEEEAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH! |
| 00:25 | < CaGeRit> | ROFL |
| 00:26 | <~Noah> | I doesn't have to be cloudy... |
| 00:26 | <~Noah> | !shades |
| 00:26 | <~Noah> | To get a golden shower |
| 00:26 | < mf0bot_> | YEEEEEEEAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH! |
| 00:26 | <@Ced23Ric> | Meh. |
| 00:26 | < CaGeRit> | !shades |
| 00:26 | < CaGeRit> | Thing |
| 00:26 | < mf0bot_> | YEEEEEEEAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH! |
| 00:27 | < CaGeRit> | Cool I discovered a pattern |
| 00:27 | <@Ced23Ric> | :D |
| 00:27 | <~Noah> | !shades |
| 00:27 | <~Noah> | !shades |
| 00:27 | <~Noah> | !shades |
| 00:27 | < CaGeRit> | boo |
| 00:27 | <~Noah> | Derp |
| 00:27 | < mf0bot_> | YEEEEEEEAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH! |
| 00:27 | <~Noah> | Oh good, it doesn't spam, haha |
| 00:29 | < CaGeRit> | Curse my ocd obsession with posable knees. |
| 00:29 | <~Noah> | I want some poseable chubs |
| 00:30 | <@Ced23Ric> | Parts are on their way. ^^ |
| 00:30 | <~Noah> | Maybe, assuming the airport hasn't eaten them |
| 00:31 | <@Ced23Ric> | I built too many weapons. |
| 00:32 | < Tetrajak|work> | man, I have a brick link order on the way, and it contains the last necessary parts for me to complete two companies that have been sitting around half-built for about a month now |
| 00:32 | <@Ced23Ric> | I have an assault rifle and two SMGs too many. |
| 00:32 | < Tetrajak|work> | I have discovered that I have an awful habit for forgetting "that one kind of brick", or miscounting a single piece |
| 00:32 | < Tetrajak|work> | kind of piece* |
| 00:34 | <@Ced23Ric> | Okay! |
| 00:34 | <@Ced23Ric> | Time for pics. |
| 00:34 | <@Ced23Ric> | Here comes a Scrambler and a HiLeg, for Soren. :D |
| 00:34 | <@Soren> | wheee |
| 00:38 | <@Ced23Ric> | http://www.ced23ric.de/stuff/mf0/sl_hlscram_b1.png |
| 00:38 | <@Ced23Ric> | http://www.ced23ric.de/stuff/mf0/sl_hlscram_b2.png |
| 00:39 | <@Soren> | spiffy! |
| 00:40 | <@Soren> | not totally convinced by the missile mounting, but I'm not in a position to suggest better right now. |
| 00:40 | <@Ced23Ric> | The pod? |
| 00:40 | <@Soren> | yes |
| 00:40 | <@Ced23Ric> | Well, it sits right on the dish. |
| 00:40 | <@Ced23Ric> | I played with a few alternatives, but none stuck out. |
| 00:41 | <@Ced23Ric> | And because it's a NARC launcher anyway, I was fine with it. |
| 00:42 | <@Soren> | I'm going to treat that acronym like it means something. |
| 00:43 | <@Ced23Ric> | Oh, BattleTech term. |
| 00:44 | <@Ced23Ric> | Basically, a NARC does what a tagging laser does in missile form. |
| 00:44 | <@Ced23Ric> | You NARC something, it's hit by a self-propelled homing beacon. |
| 00:45 | <+afny> | it could just as easily be a signal flare |
| 00:45 | <@Soren> | ah. |
| 00:46 | <@Ced23Ric> | It's really just a missile that consists of a large magnet, a beacon and a thruster. :D |
| 00:46 | <@Ced23Ric> | But yeah. |
| 00:47 | <@Ced23Ric> | I put a lampholder's operative part into the technic hole and called it a day. |
| 00:47 | <@Soren> | so, even your lasers are goofily mechanical and go clang, is what you're telling me. |
| 00:47 | <@Ced23Ric> | ... well, kinda sorta maybe ish. |
| 00:48 | <+afny> | "A Laser Called Clang" |
| 00:48 | <@Ced23Ric> | It's not like that. |
| 00:48 | <@Ced23Ric> | It's like you tag someone. |
| 00:48 | <@Ced23Ric> | But not with a laser. |
| 00:48 | <@Ced23Ric> | But with a rocket. |
| 00:49 | <@Ced23Ric> | A rocket that goes "beep beep beep beep". |
| 00:50 | <@Soren> | I'm just making fun of you. |
| 00:51 | <@Ced23Ric> | I am just playing along. |
| 00:52 | < CaGeRit> | Here's what Ive been working on. Starting with the simplest, a basic combat drone, Already threw a few of these together and put them up on frameforge http://www.flickr.com/photos/68994975@N08/7373282308/in/photostream http://www.flickr.com/photos/68994975@N08/7373282316/in/photostream |
| 00:53 | <@Ced23Ric> | I kinda think those are too small. *rubs chin* |
| 00:53 | < CaGeRit> | Small? or hard to hit? |
| 00:53 | < CaGeRit> | always look on yhe up side |
| 00:53 | <@Ced23Ric> | Well, compared to a Chub. |
| 00:53 | < CaGeRit> | They are supposed to be dimunitive to make this guy look bigger. |
| 00:53 | < CaGeRit> | http://www.flickr.com/photos/68994975@N08/7188050809/in/photostream |
| 00:54 | < CaGeRit> | http://www.flickr.com/photos/68994975@N08/7373282374/in/photostream |
| 00:54 | < CaGeRit> | http://www.flickr.com/photos/68994975@N08/7188050759/in/photostream |
| 00:54 | <@Ced23Ric> | He's pretty small, too. :D |
| 00:54 | <@Ced23Ric> | One link suffices, can scroll the stream. :) |
| 00:54 | <@Ced23Ric> | Oooh, that back connection looks fragile. :( |
| 00:55 | < CaGeRit> | Those 1x1 clips are strong as hell, I have a hell of a time taking them apart. |
| 00:56 | < CaGeRit> | le sigh |
| 00:57 | <@Ced23Ric> | I do have some doubts in the arms aswell. |
| 00:57 | <@Ced23Ric> | I mean, I see what you are after. |
| 00:57 | < CaGeRit> | also is there a ldd file for the chub so I can size comparison with it? |
| 00:57 | <@Ced23Ric> | But putting a lot of weight on a single stud with a 1x1 round brick will make you a sad panda. |
| 00:58 | <@Ced23Ric> | Uhm ... sec. I think I have one. |
| 00:59 | <@Ced23Ric> | http://www.ced23ric.de/stuff/mf0/st07chubw.lxf |
| 01:00 | < CaGeRit> | Well the chub is about 1 brick taller than the brawler, but it is also rigid as a plank, while the brawler is hunched over. |
| 01:00 | < CaGeRit> | (1 brick-3 plates right0? |
| 01:01 | < CaGeRit> | =* |
| 01:01 | <@Ced23Ric> | Yupp. |
| 01:02 | < CaGeRit> | So he's not THAT small. |
| 01:02 | <@Ced23Ric> | Ugh, it's 2am already. D: |
| 01:02 | | mf0bot_ [mf0bot@Nightstar-a092c26c.pools.spcsdns.net] has quit [Client closed the connection] |

| 01:02 | <@Ced23Ric> | I always forget the time whilst building. |

| 01:02 | <@Ced23Ric> | Later, gentledudes! |

| 01:02 | < CaGeRit> | Gnight, |
| 01:02 | < Tetrajak|work> | CaGe: I'm liking the walking wall |
| 01:02 | | Ced23Ric is now known as Ced|ChasingMorpheus |
| 01:02 | < CaGeRit> | Heh yea mobile cover. |
| 01:03 | < CaGeRit> | Originaly that was going to look like the ED209, but I cold never get the upper body/gun arms to work out. |
| 01:04 | <+afny> | night Ced |
| 01:05 | <+afny> | this whole company is going to be missing the lampholders on their backs |
| 01:05 | <+afny> | but oh well |
| 01:08 | <+afny> | damn |
| 01:09 | <+afny> | I've severely overestimated the number of parts I have |
| 01:09 | < CaGeRit> | Well I have an early morning tomorrow so gnight as well, even though its just 7pm here. |
| 01:09 | | Soren is now known as Soren|away |
| 01:09 | | CaGeRit [x@Nightstar-f0d9c21f.hr.cox.net] has left #mf0 ["["Textual IRC Client: www.textualapp.com"]"] |
| 01:16 | < Tetrajak|work> | afny, if you're still here, would you mind taking a look at the setup I've created for the 3 way battle sim? |
| 01:17 | < Tetrajak|work> | I'd like your opinion on the defense positions |
| 01:18 | <+afny> | Sure |
| 01:19 | <+afny> | I'm in the middle of building and also cooking but I'll take a pass at it |
| 01:19 | < Tetrajak|work> | http://s1.bild.me/bilder/160512/4510101SkirmishMap-sim10-setup.jpg |
| 01:19 | <+afny> | three things at once is my normal speed |
| 01:19 | <+afny> | I do three things very slowly. |
| 01:19 | < Tetrajak|work> | I'm curious as to your opinion of orange G, MS1, and MS2 |
| 01:19 | < Tetrajak|work> | which are the defense melee frames |
| 01:20 | < Tetrajak|work> | (grunt, melee soldier 1, melee soldier 2) |
| 01:21 | <+afny> | That might be a way to do it, considering you could do a lot of damage to purple early |
| 01:21 | <+afny> | but G is very vulnerable to SN2-3 |
| 01:21 | <+afny> | are |
| 01:21 | <+afny> | they direct fire*? |
| 01:25 | < Tetrajak|work> | they are DF and A |
| 01:27 | <+afny> | I don't have enough experience to tell you if an aggressive opening is good |
| 01:27 | <+afny> | or if you're better of turtling and waiting for them to come to you |
| 01:30 | < Tetrajak|work> | I'll try it and see |
| 01:30 | < Tetrajak|work> | this is, after all, an experiment |
| 01:33 | <@randolph> | Hey guys |
| 01:33 | <@randolph> | re: turtling or aggression, you want to know where you want to be in two turns |
| 01:34 | <@randolph> | But every turn you're not firing better still be net positive, relatively |
| 01:34 | <+afny> | chilling can net postive |
| 01:34 | <+afny> | for a defender |
| 01:34 | <@randolph> | Can, but is not guaranteed |
| 01:35 | <+afny> | true, just sayin |
| 01:35 | <+afny> | I think your point is extremely good |
| 01:35 | <@randolph> | Right,I'm aware |
| 01:35 | < Tetrajak|work> | I have yet to see turtling be effective |
| 01:35 | <+afny> | always think ahead about placement |
| 01:35 | <@randolph> | TJ: Axhead's ABIJ |
| 01:35 | <@randolph> | wait, no |
| 01:35 | < Tetrajak|work> | it doesn't turtle? |
| 01:35 | <@randolph> | I'm thinking of something else |
| 01:36 | <@randolph> | There's a ... "steal all the stations and try not to die" comp |
| 01:36 | <@randolph> | lemme see if I can find it, sec |
| 01:37 | < Tetrajak|work> | I've got that one already |
| 01:37 | <+afny> | ced's melee underbidders were an extreme example of that strat |
| 01:37 | <+afny> | again, I don't think that kind of play is suited for a 3s game |
| 01:37 | < Tetrajak|work> | no, Ced's companies all seem to play a game of elimination |
| 01:39 | <+afny> | fff |
| 01:39 | <+afny> | I have no good 1x1 bits |
| 01:39 | <+afny> | for shins |
| 01:39 | < Tetrajak|work> | curses |
| 01:40 | <@randolph> | TJ: Can you define what you mean by "turtle?" |
| 01:40 | <@randolph> | I'm wondering if "run away while shooting" counts |
| 01:40 | <@randolph> | (Because then USF) |
| 01:41 | < Tetrajak|work> | turtle as in the roman legion formation |
| 01:41 | <@randolph> | tank up, not run away |
| 01:41 | <@randolph> | I don't think that's possible, period, unless your opponent sucks |
| 01:41 | <@randolph> | just because of the way damage works |
| 01:41 | < Tetrajak|work> | mhm, but more focus on endurance than active attack |
| 01:41 | < Tetrajak|work> | yes |
| 01:42 | < Tetrajak|work> | the damage mechanic makes it an impossible strategy |
| 01:42 | <@randolph> | Like, the most defensive a frame can be is BB, in cover |
| 01:42 | < Tetrajak|work> | Well, BB, in cover of another frame with BB |
| 01:42 | < Tetrajak|work> | (which means you don't lose your cover) |
| 01:43 | < Tetrajak|work> | anywho, I'm off to lunch |
| 01:43 | <@randolph> | Well sure |
| 01:43 | <@randolph> | but that's 4d6 devoted to defense |
| 01:43 | | Tetrajak|work is now known as Tetrajak|away |
| 01:43 | <@randolph> | a 51.8% chance to roll a 6 |
| 01:43 | < Tetrajak|away> | randolph: I never said it was a good idea, just that it was the best defense :P |
| 01:43 | <@randolph> | yeah |
| 01:43 | < Tetrajak|away> | anywho, I'm away now |
| 01:43 | <@randolph> | later |
| 01:43 | <@randolph> | I'll crunch some numbers |
| 01:44 | <+afny> | I'm thinking about a new comp right now |
| 01:44 | <+afny> | dunno if I have enough for 8 frames, though |
| 01:44 | <+afny> | so far I have a DF Y Y B and a DF Y G B |
| 01:50 | <@randolph> | So, in cover, with 4d6, it'll take an average of 2 spotted shots to take off a system. |
| 01:50 | <@randolph> | If your sole purpose in life is turtling to tick down the clock, you can maintain that level of turtling for 3 systems |
| 01:50 | <@randolph> | so 6 spotted shots |
| 01:50 | <@randolph> | before your defense degrades |
| 01:51 | <@randolph> | When it degrades, it goes down by an EV of .27 |
| 01:51 | <@randolph> | Which is still an average of 2 spotted shots |
| 01:53 | <@randolph> | You could theoretically lose no more than 1 frame every 2 rounds, even with focus fire |
| 01:53 | <@randolph> | In one of those roman legion turtles |
| 01:53 | <@randolph> | In 6 rounds, you'll have lost ~3 frames |
| 01:54 | <@randolph> | If you're the defender in a 7/3 scenario, you could still be winning |
| 01:55 | <@randolph> | you just gotta make sure you don't lose any stations |
| 01:55 | <@randolph> | Ok. |
| 01:55 | <@randolph> | It's boring as *shit* but ok |
| 01:56 | <@randolph> | If I was doing that, I'd go DYBB+R x 3, DYBB x 2 or x3 (with system underbids) |
| 01:56 | <@randolph> | assuming company size 6? |
| 01:57 | <@randolph> | I think it's doable |
| 01:57 | <@randolph> | The trick is, the front guy melts twice as fast |
| 01:57 | <@randolph> | hm |
| 01:57 | <@randolph> | then again, you have DF everywhere and SSRs |
| 01:58 | <@randolph> | Take shots of opportunity, fire whenever you can, standard gameplan. But you don't have to move unless you see HtH coming or just to get into Arty's blindspot |
| 01:58 | <@randolph> | If it's only a couple Arty, don't care, just hold the poits |
| 01:58 | <@randolph> | *points |
| 02:09 | <+afny> | today is a good day |
| 02:09 | <+afny> | got some sweet Tomino-esque bad guy frames |
| 02:09 | <+afny> | got sticky rice, mushrooms, seitan, green onions and pepper |
| 02:09 | <+afny> | got legos in the mail |

| 02:17 | <+afny> | heyo |
| 02:17 | < Dukayn> | Hey hey |
| 02:17 | <@randolph> | Hey |
| 02:18 | < Dukayn> | Sup Randy |
| 02:19 | <@randolph> | Not much; setting Mr. Chibs on fire |
| 02:19 | < Dukayn> | Ah of course |
| 02:19 | < Dukayn> | So the usual |
| 02:19 | <@randolph> | Just my average Thursday, yeah |
| 02:20 | < Dukayn> | That's a weekly thing huh |
| 02:21 | <@randolph> | Yep. "Thermite Thursdays" |
| 02:21 | | Tetrajak|away is now known as Tetrajak|work |
| 02:21 | <@McMartin> | yay |
| 02:21 | < Dukayn> | LOL |
| 02:21 | < Tetrajak|work> | randolph: I'm glad that a turtle company is actually viable :D |
| 02:22 | < Tetrajak|work> | heya Dukayn |
| 02:22 | < Dukayn> | Don't let Ced see that; ) |
| 02:22 | < Tetrajak|work> | hehehe |
| 02:22 | < Dukayn> | Hey TJ |
| 02:22 | < Tetrajak|work> | it's ok, he's away at the moment |
| 02:22 | < Tetrajak|work> | he doesn't need to know |
| 02:22 | < Dukayn> | Hebe |
| 02:22 | < Dukayn> | Hebe? Stupid autocorrect. |
| 02:22 | < Tetrajak|work> | I'll have to pit his favourite HSC company versus the turtle at some point in time, for shits and giggles |
| 02:23 | <@randolph> | Well, just to warn you, the turtle comp fails a lot harder, faster |
| 02:23 | < Tetrajak|work> | oh yea? |
| 02:23 | <@randolph> | It has to chuck its offense to keep the turtle in place |
| 02:23 | <@randolph> | So it really is racing the clock |
| 02:23 | <@randolph> | It's *doable*, in theory |
| 02:24 | <@randolph> | Maybe you should sim it :D |
| 02:24 | < Dukayn> | Well the game is designed to avoid turtling |
| 02:24 | < Tetrajak|work> | yup |
| 02:24 | <@randolph> | Right, but I like theorycrafting |
| 02:24 | < Tetrajak|work> | randolph: maybe I should :D |
| 02:24 | <@randolph> | @ Dukayn |
| 02:24 | <@randolph> | I like seeing where shit breaks |
| 02:24 | < Tetrajak|work> | AFTER I finish this 3 player sim |
| 02:24 | <@randolph> | hehe |
| 02:25 | < Dukayn> | Yeah I know. Just makes sense that a game titled RAPID ATTACK would discourage SLOW DEFENCE: P |
| 02:25 | < Tetrajak|work> | BUT it is doable, so I'm going to test it :D |

| 03:16 | <+afny> | apparently a 3player skirmish can take like 4 hours to actually play |
| 03:16 | < Tetrajak|work> | fuckit. I'mma go code instead. I don't have the brains for something this complex at the moment |
| 03:17 | < Tetrajak|work> | I'll finish the sim this weekend instead |
| 03:19 | | Dukayn [Dukayn@Nightstar-95debf7b.netspace.net.au] has joined #mf0 |
| 03:20 | < Dukayn> | Grrr |
| 03:23 | <+afny> | man |
| 03:23 | <+afny> | I've spent like 20 minutes trying to work all the travis out of this design |
| 03:23 | <+afny> | I'm using like 4 frames worth to make a company of 8 |
| 03:23 | <+afny> | AS ALWAYS |
| 03:25 | < Dukayn> | That's not a bad effort |
| 03:27 | < Tetrajak|work> | mmmmm, sweet travis bricks |
| 03:27 | <+afny> | rigth now I've got this insane setup that uses |
| 03:27 | <+afny> | a technic bushing and a motor |
| 03:27 | <+afny> | instead of two travis |
| 03:27 | <+afny> | it's so much less stable |
| 03:27 | <+afny> | but it looks more or less the same |
| 03:36 | < Dukayn> | I'd prefer the more stable connection I think. |
| 03:36 | <+afny> | I'd prefer it |
| 03:36 | <+afny> | but then I couldn't have eight frames |
| 03:36 | <+afny> | it's actually surprisingly stable right now |
| 03:37 | <+afny> | using a motor in place of a 5way for a Chub butt, on the other hand |
| 03:37 | <+afny> | that's horrible. |
| 03:37 | < Dukayn> | Order more bricks? :P |
| 03:37 | <+afny> | I'm BROKE, son |
| 03:37 | <+afny> | only reason I can build more now is I got a package from Ced |
| 03:37 | <+afny> | and I'm DETERMINED to make a full UMFL company worthy of his bricks |
| 03:37 | < Dukayn> | Yeah I'm waiting on one now |
| 03:37 | <+afny> | it's going well |
| 03:40 | <+afny> | actually, these guys are so badass |
| 03:40 | <+afny> | I might make then an expeditionary force |
| 03:40 | < Dukayn> | Got pics? |
| 03:41 | <+afny> | not yet, every surface in here is covered in lego |
| 03:41 | <+afny> | I'll snap one in a sec |
| 03:41 | < Dukayn> | LOL fair enough. |
| 03:42 | <+afny> | everything is just in construction so I'll just use photobooth |
| 03:44 | <+afny> | wow |
| 03:44 | <+afny> | my webcam can't understand the color red |
| 03:45 | < Dukayn> | Er, that's odd. |
| 03:46 | <+afny> | I've been having trouble with the white balance in my lightbox, too |
| 03:46 | <+afny> | w |
| 03:46 | <+afny> | +ith my 'decent' camera |
| 03:46 | <+afny> | since I added a blue backdrop |
| 03:46 | <+afny> | apparently it really fucks up cheap cameras |
| 03:46 | <+afny> | I got some comments about it on flikr |
| 03:46 | <+afny> | https://dl.dropbox.com/u/84803929/Photo%20on%202012-06-14%20at%2022.44.jpg |
| 03:47 | <+afny> | so it's a Rumble Monkey, 3 of those Chubs with mchnzr's really sweet head design |
| 03:47 | <+afny> | and it's gonna be two of those floating frames Soren designed |
| 03:47 | <+afny> | or my approximation of them, |
| 03:47 | <+afny> | and then two more frames |
| 03:47 | <+afny> | I haven't decided what else to add |
| 03:47 | <+afny> | and I really don't know about systems |
| 03:47 | <+afny> | gonna be a Ced style direct fire dick fest probably |
| 03:48 | < Dukayn> | Cool |
| 03:48 | <+afny> | so far my only company to use a unit that's an exact duplicate |
| 03:49 | < Tetrajak|work> | p.s. floating frames "by Soren" aren't actually |
| 03:50 | < Tetrajak|work> | they're taken from Zizy's frames |
| 03:50 | < Tetrajak|work> | and modified |
| 03:50 | < Tetrajak|work> | also: holy shit that comp box in the background looks old (based no the vents) |
| 03:50 | <+afny> | the more you know |
| 03:50 | <+afny> | hm |
| 03:50 | <+afny> | it's about three years old I think? |
| 03:51 | <+afny> | it's dead right now, it powers down too often to be of any use |
| 03:51 | <+afny> | but it's just because the C: drive is failing |
| 03:51 | <+afny> | I just can't afford a new harddrive |
| 03:51 | < Tetrajak|work> | suck |
| 03:51 | <+afny> | it's not old though, the side of the case just isn't on |
| 03:51 | <+afny> | I mean, it's not that old |
| 03:51 | <+afny> | the case is just really big and badly designed |
| 03:51 | <+afny> | but I had to buy a huge one to fit the video card in :\ |
| 03:51 | < Tetrajak|work> | it's mostly the appearance of the vents, dust, and the straight edges of the design that made me think so |
| 03:52 | <+afny> | it's a cheap off brand case |
| 03:52 | < Tetrajak|work> | oh, I mean the thing on the desk |
| 03:52 | < Tetrajak|work> | not under it |
| 03:52 | <+afny> | ...oh |
| 03:52 | < Tetrajak|work> | sorry |
| 03:52 | <+afny> | ...that's a ps2. |
| 03:52 | < Tetrajak|work> | heh |
| 03:52 | < Tetrajak|work> | no wonder I thought it looked old |
| 03:52 | <+afny> | that IS, technically, an old computer. |
| 03:53 | < Tetrajak|work> | I have two sitting in my lounge. They really don't get enough love. |
| 03:53 | < Tetrajak|work> | as for why there's two of them; one's modded, and actually has trouble with discs from my region, and the other is unmodded, for the disks in my region |
| 03:54 | <+afny> | I really need to mod mine |
| 03:54 | <+afny> | or get one of those flip top hacks |
| 03:55 | <+afny> | I had a dvd hack that sort of worked, but it only read the dvd 1/3rd of the time, and it was balls to try to use that little slide hook to open the tray |
| 03:58 | <+afny> | this floating frame is one of my favorites |
| 03:59 | <+afny> | it's very zone of the enders |
| 04:00 | <+afny> | which is, coincidentally |
| 04:00 | <+afny> | one of the main reasons I still have that ps2 |
| 04:00 | <~Noah> | I had one of the PS2 slims |

| 04:31 | <+afny> | somewhere along the way I lost 2 5studs |
| 04:31 | <+afny> | ced sent me 16 |
| 04:31 | <+afny> | and now that I've covered EVERY surface with bricks |
| 04:31 | <+afny> | I can only find 14 |
| 04:32 | < Tetrajak|work> | it pays to be organised? |
| 04:32 | <+afny> | I was SO organized at first |
| 04:33 | < Tetrajak|work> | I always put my shit away once I'm done |
| 04:33 | <+afny> | I'm not DONE yet |
| 04:33 | <+afny> | I've lost two 5 studs IN THE PROCESS of building |
| 04:33 | < Tetrajak|work> | and generally don't build stuff if I know I have the pieces |
| 04:33 | <+afny> | I had the pieces when I started |
| 04:33 | <+afny> | there is a continuous chain of building |
| 04:33 | < Tetrajak|work> | I also don't keep multiple works in progress out at the same time |
| 04:33 | <+afny> | between when I opened his package |
| 04:33 | <+afny> | it's one company, I don't know if that counts as 8 |
| 04:33 | <+afny> | or 1 |
| 04:34 | < Tetrajak|work> | lolol |
| 04:34 | < Tetrajak|work> | 8 |
| 04:34 | <+afny> | damn |
| 04:34 | < Tetrajak|work> | build 1 frame, put it aside somewhere safe, then more on to the next one |
| 04:34 | < Tetrajak|work> | are you building on a clean flat surface? |
| 04:35 | < Tetrajak|work> | also, is said building surface elevated and close to the edge of said elevation? i.e. have you checked the floor? |
| 04:35 | <+afny> | I have |
| 04:36 | <+afny> | and I'm building on two flat clean surfaces |
| 04:37 | < Tetrajak|work> | well, just blame ced for not including the bricks :P |
| 04:37 | <+afny> | but he did, I counted them |
| 04:37 | <+afny> | I KNOW THE TRUTH |
| 04:37 | <+afny> | I don't know how many he INTENDED to send, but I know I had 16 |
| 04:37 | <+afny> | earlier today |
| 04:40 | < Tetrajak|work> | Well, just tidy up your stuff that ISN'T the bricks you're looking for |
| 04:40 | < Tetrajak|work> | then go searching for them |
| 04:41 | <+afny> | if you could see my work space, you'd know both why that is impossible |
| 04:41 | <+afny> | and why I'm missing the bricks in the first place |
| 04:42 | <+afny> | HEY I found them |
| 04:42 | <+afny> | under the cap of a twinnings tea tin |
| 04:42 | <+afny> | god. damnit. |
| 04:44 | <@randolph> | I was gonna say, maybe the travis bricks were in something you built |
| 04:44 | <+afny> | I only built 3 chubs |
| 04:45 | <~maoranma> | I want my german legos |
| 04:45 | <+afny> | that have travis |
| 04:46 | <+afny> | hm |
| 04:46 | <+afny> | I forgot, before I lost those bricks, I was laboring over these damn shoulderpads |

| 04:52 | < Tetrajak|work> | afny: yes |
| 04:52 | <@randolph> | No |
| 04:53 | <@randolph> | Here's why |
| 04:53 | <@randolph> | if you shoot off the G, is it going to roll around on the ground? |
| 04:53 | < Tetrajak|work> | yes :D |
| 04:53 | <@randolph> | If not, then that mobility is part of WW |
| 04:53 | < Tetrajak|work> | from a technical standpoint; i.e. do they HAVE to claim a G; no |
| 04:54 | < Tetrajak|work> | from a cheese standpoint; yes |
| 04:54 | <@randolph> | No, they don't |
| 04:54 | < Tetrajak|work> | sure they do |
| 04:54 | < Tetrajak|work> | one of the systems described for G is boosters, or wings, or generally anything that aids flying |
| 04:54 | <@randolph> | No, because they don't suddenly lose all mobility when they lose that G |
| 04:55 | <@randolph> | You literally cannot represent 0 mobility in MFZ |
| 04:55 | < Tetrajak|work> | for fluff and cheese factor, they would lose all mobility |
| 04:55 | < Tetrajak|work> | for technical rules factor, they wouldn't |
| 04:55 | <@randolph> | The lowliest W frame can move under its own power |
| 04:55 | <@randolph> | In fluff |
| 04:55 | <@randolph> | That's what having W *means* |
| 04:55 | < Tetrajak|work> | *shrug* fluff and cheese are a matter of opinion |
| 04:55 | <@randolph> | it can do any of the following: move, hit something, spot something, defend itself |
| 04:56 | < Tetrajak|work> | yes, that is rules |
| 04:56 | <@randolph> | Then stop claiming it as if it were fact :P |
| 04:56 | <~maoranma> | Yea, your "W"s are your base frame, sans modifications |
| 04:56 | < Tetrajak|work> | fluff has to cover rules :P |
| 04:56 | <@randolph> | fluff has to *explain* the rules |
| 04:56 | <@randolph> | Otherwise the fluff is insufficient |
| 04:56 | < Tetrajak|work> | same dif |
| 04:56 | <@randolph> | Yeah, so if your fluff cannot explain the fact that frames cannot ever hit 0 mobility, it's insufficient is what I'm saying :p |
| 04:57 | < Tetrajak|work> | XD |
| 04:57 | < Tetrajak|work> | oooh |
| 04:57 | < Tetrajak|work> | I see what you did there |

| 04:58 | <+afny> | well these frames are PROBABLY gonna have G's anyway |
| 04:58 | <+afny> | but I just wondered what you guys thought |
| 04:59 | <@randolph> | I think if it's an orbital frame it should... |
| 04:59 | <@randolph> | :shades: |
| 04:59 | <@randolph> | be capable of operating in zero G |
| 04:59 | < mf0bot> | YEEEEEEEAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH! |

| 05:01 | <@randolph> | I didn't know what the term "shaggy dog story" meant until last year, true story |

| 05:23 | <@randolph> | hey Duk |
| 05:23 | <@randolph> | I wanna make one of those entirely in white now |
| 05:24 | <@randolph> | What's the construction of the "standard transparent floating thing support?" |
| 05:24 | <@randolph> | trans-clear 3x3 dish + ??? antenna? |
| 05:24 | <+afny> | mine aren't transparent, but they're just 4x4 dishes |
| 05:24 | <+afny> | and one of those |
| 05:24 | <+afny> | uh |
| 05:24 | <+afny> | I don't know what they are |
| 05:24 | <+afny> | cannon bits |
| 05:24 | <~maoranma> | Same, I didn't make my dishes transparent, to be easier to see |
| 05:25 | <+afny> | I did this out of necessity at first but it looks pretty nice |
| 05:25 | <+afny> | I'd make the cannon bit black, but old dark gray is okay |

| 05:28 | <~maoranma> | Dat Aussie Internet |
| 05:34 | <+afny> | the fatal flaw in my no 5 way brick design |
| 05:34 | <+afny> | is that the arms are just as poseable, but you sort of have to break them off first |
| 05:35 | <+afny> | because the clip/bar connection is much stronger (new plastic) than the connection of the bar plate stud into a technic bushing |

| 06:37 | < Ced23Ric> | Morning! |
| 06:37 | <@randolph> | Because I can't come up with something punny for "Ced23Ric" |
| 06:37 | <+afny> | man |
| 06:37 | <+afny> | I literally didn't do anything all day |
| 06:37 | < Ced23Ric> | Alright, lemme get up/shower etc. |
| 06:37 | <+afny> | since Ced went to bed |
| 06:37 | <+afny> | and woke up |
| 06:37 | <+afny> | I have done nothing. |
| 06:37 | <@randolph> | Nonsense |
| 06:38 | <@randolph> | You lost two travis bricks |
| 06:38 | <@randolph> | Then you found them again |
| 06:38 | <+afny> | well I made a bunch of stuff |
| 06:38 | <+afny> | I just mean |
| 06:38 | <+afny> | I haven't done anything USEFUL. |
| 06:38 | <@randolph> | We argued about the merits of representing flight as a system. |
| 06:38 | <@randolph> | <_< |
| 06:38 | <+afny> | I'm on your side when it comes to that |
| 06:38 | <+afny> | but I do think these guys will have Gs |
| 06:38 | <@randolph> | Also, you helped me identify a flying mount |
| 06:39 | <@randolph> | That was progress! |
| 06:39 | <+afny> | I just called it a "cannon" |
| 06:39 | <+afny> | and now comes the part where I shove my SD card in and out of the reader like I'm making sweet love to it |
| 06:39 | <+afny> | until it finally reads |

| 06:40 | <+afny> | It's so fickle, I have no idea |
| 06:40 | <+afny> | maybe it wants it rough |
| 06:40 | <+afny> | but it doesn't communicate. |
| 06:40 | <@randolph> | Well, relationships need variety. |
| 06:40 | <@randolph> | I suggest you surprise it, but have a safeword prepared. |
| 06:42 | <+afny> | fuck it |

| 06:52 | < Ced23Ric> | Your tea bins would drive me insane. |
| 06:52 | <+afny> | dude, it was the WORST idea for sorting EVER |
| 06:52 | <+afny> | they're JUST too deep to reach a part easily |
| 06:52 | <+afny> | and they make the worst sound EVER |
| 06:53 | <+afny> | I'm not even putting my bricks back in them, I dumped them all out on the table |
| 06:53 | < Ced23Ric> | Tell me more about it. |
| 06:53 | <+afny> | NO I DON'T EVEN WANT TO THINK ABOUT IT FUCK. |
| 06:53 | < Ced23Ric> | Exactly. |
| 06:53 | <+afny> | That's why I don't have the lightbox set up, I'm going to figure out some new storage solutions tomorrow |

| 07:00 | < Dukayn> | You could throw the sword too. |

| 07:00 | < Ced23Ric> | Don't use melee weapons in space. |
| 07:01 | < Ced23Ric> | And don't use weapons with recoil. |
| 07:01 | <@randolph> | They all have recoil. |

| 07:08 | < Dukayn> | Nice |
| 07:08 | <+afny> | You're a mad scientist |
| 07:09 | <+afny> | See randolph, this is what happens |
| 07:09 | <+afny> | first you cut a tire |
| 07:09 | <+afny> | next, you liberate a ring from a ring plate |
| 07:09 | <+afny> | then you order dye... |
| 07:09 | <+afny> | soon, you'll be...WEATHERING |
| 07:09 | <+MittenNinja> | Tire cutting is a gateway to further madness |
| 07:09 | <+afny> | It is, it is. |
| 07:09 | <+MittenNinja> | Weathering is something I won't touch |
| 07:09 | <+afny> | You say that NOW |
| 07:09 | <+MittenNinja> | I want the ability to re use bricks |
| 07:10 | <+MittenNinja> | That is something that will never change |
| 07:10 | <+MittenNinja> | I won't use the tires for anything else, so there is no loss there |
| 07:10 | <+MittenNinja> | And the lampholders once cut, function as a double male 1x1 and a normal 1x1 plate. |
| 07:11 | <+MittenNinja> | Still reusable |

| 07:11 | <+MittenNinja> | I know |

| 07:12 | <+MittenNinja> | I'm big on keeping things "clean" |

| 07:13 | < Ced23Ric> | "Clean like this series of bullet holes, made with a 0.000" drill bit and a pin vice." |

| 07:20 | <+MittenNinja> | Well, mess around with some other stuff, maybe a jumper in there or something |

| 18:12 | <@Ced23Ric> | Hey Greg. |
| 18:13 | <+MittenNinja> | heya |
| 18:13 | <+MittenNinja> | just applied the first coat of vinyl dye to a few pieces |
| 18:13 | <+MittenNinja> | waiting for it to dry |
| 18:14 | <@Ced23Ric> | How do you apply that stuff? |
| 18:14 | <+MittenNinja> | spray can |
| 18:14 | <@Ced23Ric> | Huh? |
| 18:14 | <+MittenNinja> | its like spray paint |
| 18:15 | <@Ced23Ric> | I thought you'd dissolve it and let it soak in. |
| 18:15 | <+MittenNinja> | nope |
| 18:15 | <+MittenNinja> | its usually used for car interiors |
| 18:15 | <+MittenNinja> | so soaking your door isnt very viable |
| 18:16 | <@Ced23Ric> | No, it's not. :D |
| 18:17 | <@Ced23Ric> | I suck at this cockpit thing. |
| 18:17 | <+MittenNinja> | cockpit? |
| 18:18 | <@Ced23Ric> | Yeah. |
| 18:18 | <@Ced23Ric> | I'm trying to build a 'frame with a cockpit. |
| 18:18 | <+MittenNinja> | ah |
| 18:18 | <+MittenNinja> | like yates |
| 18:18 | <@Ced23Ric> | Yeah. |
| 18:19 | <+MittenNinja> | alrighty, time for coat #2! |
| 18:23 | <+MittenNinja> | It doesnt look like the color difference between original shades is going to be very different |
| 18:27 | <+MittenNinja> | Coat #3! |
| 18:28 | <@Ced23Ric> | Takes some side-by-side picks. |
| 18:45 | <+MittenNinja> | http://www.flickr.com/photos/mittenninja/7190094893/in/photostream |
| 18:45 | <+MittenNinja> | White on top, then light bley, dark bley and black going down |
| 19:24 | <+MittenNinja> | I'm dying parts to make a fat snake now |
| 19:38 | <~Noah> | PEENIX |
| 19:39 | <~Noah> | I mean, hi guys |
| 19:48 | <+MittenNinja> | whats up man? |
| 20:04 | <@Ced23Ric> | Greg: How does it clip on? |
| 20:05 | <+MittenNinja> | how does what clip on? |
| 20:06 | <@Ced23Ric> | The dish. |
| 20:06 | <+MittenNinja> | just like a normal dish |
| 20:06 | <@Ced23Ric> | As in, how it goes on studs, and how thing pushed through are gripped. |
| 20:06 | <+MittenNinja> | the dye doesnt add any thickness to the piece |
| 20:06 | <@Ced23Ric> | Is it stiffer? |
| 20:06 | <@Ced23Ric> | So it really just saks in, eh? |
| 20:06 | <+MittenNinja> | it seeps into the plastic and actually changes the color |
| 20:06 | <@Ced23Ric> | *soaks |
| 20:06 | <+MittenNinja> | yeah |
| 20:06 | <@Ced23Ric> | Interesting! |
| 20:06 | <+MittenNinja> | its not a layer of color |
| 20:06 | <+MittenNinja> | so it cant chip or anything either |
| 20:06 | <@Ced23Ric> | Whaddaya pay? |
| 20:07 | <@Ced23Ric> | And: Get a lightbox shot. ^^ |
| 20:07 | <+MittenNinja> | with shipping it was $30 for a can |
| 20:07 | <+MittenNinja> | its pricier than paint |
| 20:07 | <+MittenNinja> | but its still hella cheaper than buying sand green pieces |
| 20:11 | <@Ced23Ric> | Depends on your mileage. |
| 20:11 | <+MittenNinja> | considering a sand green headlight goes for about $3? |
| 20:11 | <+MittenNinja> | pretty sure i can get ten of those out of one can and then some |
| 20:15 | <+MittenNinja> | Alrighty last coat is on! |
| 20:15 | <+MittenNinja> | just waiting for it to dry and I will have a moss green fat snake |
| 20:23 | <@Ced23Ric> | Sweet, I wanna see that. :D |
| 20:26 | <@Ced23Ric> | Ugh, I am so uninspired. |
| 20:26 | <@Ced23Ric> | I don't even know what I wanna build. |
| 20:26 | <@Ced23Ric> | Or need. |
| 20:26 | <+MittenNinja> | it happens man |
| 20:28 | <@Ced23Ric> | Well, yeah. |
| 20:28 | <@Ced23Ric> | But ... Mhmm. |
| 20:28 | <@Ced23Ric> | The only thing I can think of is my tan guys. |
| 20:28 | <@Ced23Ric> | But what do I do with those? :D |
| 20:29 | <@Ced23Ric> | Could attempt to give them better articulated arms, mhmm. |
| 20:30 | | afny [kevinvankir@Nightstar-42c41d95.res.rr.com] has joined #mf0 |
| 20:30 | <@Ced23Ric> | Heya Kev. |
| 20:30 | < afny> | o/ |
| 20:31 | | * Ced23Ric stares at the WORLD. |
| 20:31 | <@Ced23Ric> | Those MgNs don't do it for me. |
| 20:31 | <@Ced23Ric> | Those Gadian v2 I made? Don't do it. |
| 20:32 | <@Ced23Ric> | I need some tan 'frames. |
| 20:32 | <@Ced23Ric> | Or I will go insane. |
| 20:32 | < afny> | well thats two companies off of tan |
| 20:32 | < afny> | smash them together |
| 20:33 | <@Ced23Ric> | It's 4 each. |
| 20:34 | <@Ced23Ric> | So it's one company. |
| 20:34 | < afny> | oh |
| 20:34 | < afny> | I think I thought you had eight mgns because I opened each image about a billion times |
| 20:34 | < afny> | I was having mouse trouble. |
| 20:36 | < afny> | I dig this: http://www.flickr.com/photos/78772749@N08/7374305220/in/pool-438009@N25 |
| 20:38 | < afny> | so my bird-head chubs each have a gun now |
| 20:38 | < afny> | and the rumble monkey still has a gun |
| 20:39 | <@Ced23Ric> | He uses those slopes as if their a dime a dozen! |
| 20:39 | <@Ced23Ric> | (They are ,I guess. |
| 20:39 | < afny> | so that's a DF / Y / Y / B guy and three DF / Y / B / G guys |
| 20:39 | <@Ced23Ric> | Vair good. |
| 20:39 | < afny> | fuck |
| 20:39 | <@Ced23Ric> | That's a solid detachment in itself. |
| 20:39 | < afny> | I need to find my brick thingy |
| 20:40 | < afny> | then I'm thinking the two chubs |
| 20:40 | < afny> | will be arty |
| 20:40 | < afny> | one of them will be a sniper, the other will have... |
| 20:40 | <@Ced23Ric> | An assload of rockets. |
| 20:40 | < afny> | a mortar? I dunno, I think I'm out of stuff for a convincing mortar |
| 20:40 | < afny> | maybe a missile pod |
| 20:40 | < afny> | yea |
| 20:40 | < afny> | I have two travis left, or some 2 studs, so a hex launcher isn't out of the question |
| 20:41 | <@Ced23Ric> | Ha! |
| 20:41 | < afny> | then the floating guys, I think, will both be DF DF Y G |
| 20:41 | <@Ced23Ric> | Putting them to good use, eh? |
| 20:41 | <@Ced23Ric> | I might send you another care package. |
| 20:41 | < afny> | yeah, I opened your mailer and started building |
| 20:41 | < afny> | and didn't stop until I had eight frames |
| 20:41 | < afny> | with only 16 travis I think that's pretty good |
| 20:41 | <@Ced23Ric> | Yupp. |
| 20:41 | < afny> | I had to reverse engineer that Soren/Zizy frame |
| 20:42 | < afny> | and I think it uses 2 per but I'm using zero |
| 20:42 | <@Ced23Ric> | See, I sent you and Noah one sorting tray's worth. |
| 20:42 | < afny> | and it's pretty sturdy |
| 20:42 | <@Ced23Ric> | You got a little more. |
| 20:42 | < afny> | it's because you knew I would explode into building action |
| 20:42 | < afny> | I just can't help it. |
| 20:42 | <@Ced23Ric> | And now that I took some stuff apart, the sorting tray is full again. |
| 20:42 | <@Ced23Ric> | With light grey, which I don't use other than for ring sights. |
| 20:42 | <+MittenNinja> | Alright |
| 20:43 | <+MittenNinja> | So i managed to forget to make the headlights for the shoulders |
| 20:43 | <+MittenNinja> | so this pic is sans shoulders |
| 20:43 | <+MittenNinja> | https://www.dropbox.com/s/pk5uprmsh6gld0i/DSC_0661.jpg |
| 20:43 | <@Ced23Ric> | Very good. |
| 20:43 | < afny> | is this...dyed? |
| 20:43 | <+MittenNinja> | yep :D |
| 20:43 | < afny> | well it looks a little painted, but that may just be the photo |
| 20:44 | <@Ced23Ric> | Either something is off with the colors or it doesn't really look sand green. |
| 20:44 | < afny> | surprisingly even coloring |
| 20:44 | < afny> | did you start with bley or white? |
| 20:44 | <+MittenNinja> | its not sand green |
| 20:44 | <@Ced23Ric> | Can you take some shots in the light box later, Greg? |
| 20:44 | <@Ced23Ric> | I think he used tan. |
| 20:44 | <+MittenNinja> | that is in the light box :( |
| 20:44 | <@Ced23Ric> | Turn the lights on. :D |
| 20:44 | < afny> | heh |
| 20:44 | <+MittenNinja> | heh they are |
| 20:44 | <+MittenNinja> | my lightbox blows |
| 20:45 | <@Ced23Ric> | Well, turn the lamps towards the box, then! |
| 20:45 | < afny> | I'm going to go shower/get lunch, I'll be back to brick up some weapons |
| 20:45 | <+MittenNinja> | mostly dark bley actually |
| 20:45 | < afny> | then I need to find a surface to put MY lightbox on |
| 20:45 | | afny is now known as afny|lunch |
| 20:45 | <+MittenNinja> | i had to use brown for the chestpiece though |
| 20:45 | <@Ced23Ric> | Later Kev. |
| 20:45 | <@Ced23Ric> | I dunno, Greg. It looks a little odd. |
| 20:45 | <@Ced23Ric> | Like a metallic forest-green. |
| 20:46 | <@Ced23Ric> | It should smell of fir. |
| 20:46 | <+MittenNinja> | its not meant to be a sand green replica |
| 20:46 | <@Ced23Ric> | But does it smell like fir? |
| 20:46 | <+MittenNinja> | nope |
| 20:46 | <@Ced23Ric> | Damn. |
| 20:46 | <+MittenNinja> | smells like paint |
| 20:46 | <@Ced23Ric> | False advertising! D: |
| 20:49 | <+MittenNinja> | i like it |
| 20:49 | <+MittenNinja> | it has a more military feel than the sand green |
| 20:49 | <+MittenNinja> | but it still retains a similar color |
| 20:52 | <@Ced23Ric> | Well, yeah. Sand Green is a very odd colour. |
| 20:52 | <@Ced23Ric> | But that's why I like it. :) |
| 21:10 | <@Ced23Ric> | I'm build an aerial 'frame. I have no idea why. |
| 21:12 | | afny|lunch is now known as afny |
| 21:12 | < afny> | because they're AWESOME |
| 21:13 | < afny> | give me your opinion |
| 21:13 | < afny> | is it cheesy for a flying frame |
| 21:13 | < afny> | to forgo taking a G? |
| 21:24 | <+MittenNinja> | Alright. Im off to shower and get ready for the con, Later guys! |

| 21:35 | <@Ced23Ric> | afny: Very. :D |
| 21:51 | < afny> | finally found my brick separator and got that trans-clear plate |
| 21:51 | < afny> | so back to building |
| 21:52 | <@Ced23Ric> | Okay, got it. |
| 21:52 | <@Ced23Ric> | Aerial 'frame: Done. |
| 21:52 | <@Ced23Ric> | Use: 0. |
| 21:52 | <@Ced23Ric> | :D |
| 21:52 | < afny> | what's its color scheme |
| 21:53 | < afny> | break down the mgns and gaidans and make some sort of company around it |
| 21:54 | <@Ced23Ric> | Dude, this 'frame is black and LIME. |
| 21:54 | < afny> | it can be the exception |
| 21:54 | < afny> | lime and tan go really well together |
| 21:54 | < afny> | if the company is mostly tan and it has a lime ace |
| 21:54 | < afny> | you're in the money |
| 21:55 | <@Ced23Ric> | Yeah, they do go well. |
| 21:55 | <@Ced23Ric> | I could add tiny lime accents on the tan. |
| 21:55 | <@Ced23Ric> | Weed out the dark grey/brown. |
| 21:55 | <@Ced23Ric> | And have it just tan/black with lime markings. |
| 21:55 | <@Ced23Ric> | Mhmm. |
| 21:56 | <@Ced23Ric> | I wonder whether I got the parts to make one or two vanilla 'frames in black/tan/lime. |
| 21:59 | <@Ced23Ric> | Hey, Kev .. |
| 21:59 | <@Ced23Ric> | Rather a gun and a missile rack or two missile racks? |
| 22:00 | < afny> | realistically a gun and a missile rack makes more sense to me |
| 22:00 | < afny> | but it depends on the frame |
| 22:00 | < afny> | sometimes you just want a fuck ton of missiles |
| 22:00 | <@Ced23Ric> | Well. |
| 22:00 | <@Ced23Ric> | It's aerial. |
| 22:00 | <@Ced23Ric> | Missiles have no recoil. |
| 22:00 | <@Ced23Ric> | Hence = love. |
| 22:00 | < afny> | yeah, I think go all missiles |
| 22:00 | <@Ced23Ric> | But the gun is very compact. |
| 22:01 | <@Ced23Ric> | It's literally a motor with a grip and a barrel. |
| 22:02 | <@Ced23Ric> | Lemme take some pics. |
| 22:03 | < afny> | ff |
| 22:03 | < afny> | I used all my taps |
| 22:03 | < afny> | I need to free two of them to make sniper rifles |
| 22:03 | <@Ced23Ric> | Didn't I even send you some? |
| 22:03 | < afny> | don't think so, but if you did I used them |
| 22:04 | < afny> | I think I have at least one spare gun somewhere |
| 22:04 | < afny> | I've been trying to use those like |
| 22:04 | < afny> | weird ass guns with the short little handle |
| 22:04 | < afny> | and then two LOOONG handles on the sides |
| 22:04 | < afny> | as a base for a weapon, but they just look really bad |
| 22:04 | < afny> | |
| 22:04 | <@Ced23Ric> | Which ones? |
| 22:04 | < afny> | I don't know, they're older |
| 22:04 | < afny> | No idea what they're called, I just had a ton in my bin |
| 22:05 | <@randolph> | afny: You could integrate the gun into the hand? |
| 22:06 | <@randolph> | Not like hardmount, but like fudge the hand |
| 22:06 | <@Ced23Ric> | What do they look like? D: |
| 22:06 | < afny> | I could, but it looks weird on a chub usually |
| 22:06 | < afny> | they're like, uh |
| 22:06 | < afny> | hm |
| 22:06 | < afny> | little guns |
| 22:06 | < afny> | with two huge ass side handles |
| 22:06 | <@Ced23Ric> | OH! |
| 22:06 | <@Ced23Ric> | Chainsaw Holders. |
| 22:06 | < afny> | and they have a stud on the bottom, a stud on the front, and a stud on the back |
| 22:06 | < afny> | yeeeah |
| 22:06 | <@Ced23Ric> | Remember way back? Ice Mission? |
| 22:07 | <@Ced23Ric> | Neon Orange saws on blue chainsaw holders. |
| 22:07 | < afny> | yeaaah dude |
| 22:07 | <@randolph> | Hey afny, for the aerial stand, is it a 3x3 dish under the cannon? |
| 22:07 | < afny> | I had a biiig ship with skis all along the bottom |
| 22:07 | < afny> | and some sick bay doors |
| 22:07 | <@Ced23Ric> | randolph: I use 4x4s. Got 'em cheap. |
| 22:07 | < afny> | and a ton of those neon orange saws |
| 22:07 | <@randolph> | ok |
| 22:07 | <@Ced23Ric> | afny: ME TOO. IT COULD SPLIT UP INTO TWO SHIPS. |
| 22:07 | < afny> | that thing was AWESOME |
| 22:07 | <@randolph> | I need to buy a bunch of trans clear cannons and dishes |
| 22:07 | <@Ced23Ric> | Fuck, was it EVER. |
| 22:08 | < afny> | definitely my favorite set from my childhood |
| 22:08 | < afny> | at least the most memorable |
| 22:09 | <@randolph> | afk work again |
| 22:10 | <~Noah> | Uhg |
| 22:10 | <~Noah> | Ced23Ric: You didn't happen to get a tracking number did you? |
| 22:10 | <@Ced23Ric> | With a letter? :D |
| 22:11 | <@Ced23Ric> | I didn't send it insured, safe-guarded, hand-delivered, GPS-watched, TSA-patted, CIA-approved, CDC-confirmed, FBI-waived on a charter jet. |
| 22:11 | <@Ced23Ric> | I sent it as a letter. |
| 22:11 | <@Ced23Ric> | It'll show up, one day. :D |
| 22:12 | < afny> | I wouldn't worry about it yet dude, mine only got here yesterday |
| 22:12 | < afny> | and that was really fast |

| 22:14 | < afny> | nice |
| 22:14 | < afny> | I like the quad |
| 22:15 | < afny> | I still think all missiles is the way to go |
| 22:15 | <@Ced23Ric> | Yeah, I figured that was in order. :D |
| 22:15 | <@Ced23Ric> | Mhmm, maybe. |
| 22:16 | < afny> | I'm giving a fat snakes style rifle the lowliest of chub |
| 22:16 | < afny> | the all grey one |
| 22:16 | < afny> | I'm trying to figure out the ranks of this company |
| 22:25 | < afny> | Dude, this sniper isn't flimsy |
| 22:25 | <~Noah> | Ced23Ric: Did you even put it in a bubble mailer? |
| 22:25 | < afny> | although I guess I'm using a megaphone instead of a tap |
| 22:25 | <~Noah> | Or did you glue them to the outside, like stamps? |
| 22:25 | < afny> | a tap might make it super flimsy |
| 22:26 | <@Ced23Ric> | No, I sent a singular see-through baggy. I used weed as stuffing. I hope that's not a problem. |
| 22:26 | <~Noah> | no, I'm sure the Coast Guard will be giving me a call any day now |
| 22:27 | <@Ced23Ric> | I was sure that such actions would expedite the delivery. |
| 22:27 | < afny> | You're going to jail for importing slotted headlights. |
| 22:27 | <@Ced23Ric> | I HAVE. |
| 22:27 | <@Ced23Ric> | NO FUCKING CLUE. |
| 22:27 | < afny> | hm, Ced |
| 22:27 | <~Noah> | Do they smell like sausage and poop? |
| 22:27 | <@Ced23Ric> | What to do for the tan guys. :( |
| 22:27 | <@Ced23Ric> | Yeah? |
| 22:27 | < afny> | do you think a sniper should be higher rank than a mortar guy |
| 22:27 | < afny> | or lower rank |
| 22:28 | <@Ced23Ric> | Equivalent rank, specialist designations. |
| 22:28 | <~Noah> | because that probably would've tipped off one of the airport dogs |
| 22:28 | <@Ced23Ric> | Is what the army does. |
| 22:28 | <@Ced23Ric> | Like, Technical Sergeant and Staff Sergeant, or Specialist and Corporal. |
| 22:28 | < afny> | hm |
| 22:28 | < afny> | alright, well |
| 22:28 | <~Noah> | afny: Typically that's a specialist position |
| 22:28 | <@Ced23Ric> | Yeah. |
| 22:28 | < afny> | one chub has a red stripe on his shoulder |
| 22:28 | < afny> | and one does not |
| 22:28 | < afny> | WHICH is more fitting for a sniper |
| 22:28 | <@Ced23Ric> | Red stripe. |
| 22:28 | < afny> | RIGHT THEN. |
| 22:28 | <@Ced23Ric> | It's an officer kill marker. |
| 22:29 | <@Ced23Ric> | He shot a hostile commander. |
| 22:29 | <@Ced23Ric> | See, I wish there was another standard 'frame. :( |
| 22:29 | <~Noah> | Also, I need help with poseable limbs |
| 22:29 | <@Ced23Ric> | What for? |
| 22:30 | <@Ced23Ric> | As in, what 'frame. :D |
| 22:30 | <~Noah> | Chubs |
| 22:30 | <@Ced23Ric> | Have you seen MW's stuff? |
| 22:30 | <~Noah> | Or really any generic technique |
| 22:30 | <~Noah> | I don't think so |
| 22:30 | <@Ced23Ric> | It was all the rage fo#r 3 days. :D |
| 22:31 | < afny> | even I finally used his leg technique |
| 22:31 | < afny> | in my slammer |
| 22:31 | <@Ced23Ric> | http://www.ced23ric.de/stuff/mf0/seeberg_vale.png |
| 22:31 | <@Ced23Ric> | There. |
| 22:31 | <@Ced23Ric> | http://www.ced23ric.de/stuff/mf0/ambercroft_ulrichs_wyoming.png |
| 22:31 | <@Ced23Ric> | And there. |
| 22:32 | <~Noah> | taps for elbows? |
| 22:32 | <@Ced23Ric> | Looks like it, eh? |
| 22:32 | <~Noah> | And that looks like a t-bar for the knee |
| 22:32 | <@Ced23Ric> | Claws, taps. |
| 22:32 | <@Ced23Ric> | Yupp. |
| 22:33 | <~Noah> | It's hard to see with your blurrycam skills |
| 22:33 | <@Ced23Ric> | ... |
| 22:34 | < afny> | ced, you built one of these rifles, right? |
| 22:34 | < afny> | how do you think the cylinder on the bottom is attached |
| 22:34 | <@Ced23Ric> | Noah: http://www.mobileframehangar.com/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=1532 |
| 22:34 | < afny> | I thought it was just on a 1x1 brick with handle |
| 22:34 | <@Ced23Ric> | Do your own research, then. :D |
| 22:34 | <@Ced23Ric> | afny: What rifle, the sniper? |
| 22:34 | <@Ced23Ric> | I aborted mission after the barrel. |
| 22:34 | < afny> | http://www.flickr.com/photos/mittenninja/7363059946/in/photostream/ |
| 22:34 | < afny> | yeah |
| 22:34 | < afny> | oh |
| 22:34 | < afny> | well my barrel is solid, and I'm working on a tapless alternative for the handle |
| 22:34 | <~Noah> | I made an IRC room, what made you think I would ever do my own research ever again ever? |
| 22:35 | < afny> | wait |
| 22:35 | <@Ced23Ric> | Noah: Your lack of social apitude when you want something. :D |
| 22:35 | < afny> | it is just a brick |
| 22:35 | < afny> | i'm dumb |
| 22:35 | <@Ced23Ric> | How? |
| 22:35 | <@Ced23Ric> | What. |
| 22:35 | <@Ced23Ric> | How it attach? |
| 22:35 | <@Ced23Ric> | https://www.dropbox.com/s/rl0ihldsj88drtu/Greg%27s%20Company.jpg |
| 22:35 | < afny> | just...the normal way you attach a cylinder grip thing with a 1x1 brick with handle |
| 22:35 | < afny> | oh wow |
| 22:35 | < afny> | this is much easier |
| 22:36 | <@Ced23Ric> | :D |
| 22:36 | < afny> | but yeah that's how I put it on |
| 22:36 | <~Noah> | I assume you mean aptitude. I'll look into it |
| 22:36 | <@Ced23Ric> | The t was omitted. |
| 22:36 | <@Ced23Ric> | +1 CR. |
| 22:38 | <@Ced23Ric> | Okay, let's figure this company out. Kevin, you with me? I need input. |
| 22:38 | <@Ced23Ric> | I already have: 1x DFYYG, 2x DFYBG, 2x DFDFYG, 3x AYYG. Purple Ijads. |
| 22:39 | <@Ced23Ric> | I have: 1x DFYYB, 2x DFYBG, 2x DFDFYB, 3x AYYB. Blue Ijads. Planned, at least. |
| 22:39 | <@Ced23Ric> | I have: 2x DFYBG, 1x DFDFYB, 2x DFDFYG, 3x AYYB. Serpent Legion. |
| 22:40 | <@Ced23Ric> | I have: 1x DFYYB, 4x DFYBG, 3x AYYB. 13th Guard. |
| 22:40 | <@Ced23Ric> | I have: 4x DFYBG, 2x DFDFYB, 2x AYYG. Danni's Raiders. |
| 22:40 | < afny> | what your'e telling me is that your companies are pretty much all exactly the same |
| 22:41 | < afny> | with the exception of YY placement |
| 22:41 | <@Ced23Ric> | Some have more damage, some more speed, some more armor. |
| 22:41 | <@Ced23Ric> | But they are all optimized for Red + Yellow. |
| 22:42 | < afny> | Hm |
| 22:42 | < afny> | well what kind of frames are you including |
| 22:42 | < afny> | other than the flying one |
| 22:42 | <@Ced23Ric> | Right now, I have parts. |
| 22:42 | <@Ced23Ric> | The sky is the limit. |
| 22:42 | <~Noah> | afny: So what you're telling me is your companies all use blue, green, red, and yellow systems |
| 22:42 | <@Ced23Ric> | I cannot make more fliers, I am out of wings. |
| 22:42 | <~Noah> | You don't ever just roll with double-white? |
| 22:42 | <@Ced23Ric> | I got those 4 lime ones, that's it. :D |
| 22:42 | < afny> | it's cooler to just have one or two anyway |
| 22:43 | <~Noah> | Actually |
| 22:43 | <@Ced23Ric> | I have an assload of yellow. |
| 22:43 | < afny> | I'd say make it so the flier and maybe another dude are |
| 22:43 | < afny> | DF DF Y G |
| 22:43 | <~Noah> | Does the rules state you can't have a frame with no systems? |
| 22:43 | < afny> | and they just tear in there and fuck things up |
| 22:43 | <@Ced23Ric> | I was debating on 2x DFDFBB - with yellow stripes. Landing Strip personal. :D |
| 22:43 | < afny> | B B |
| 22:43 | < afny> | WHAT |
| 22:43 | <@Ced23Ric> | Noah: You can field just WW. |
| 22:43 | < afny> | In one of YOUR companies? |
| 22:43 | < afny> | madness. |
| 22:44 | <@Ced23Ric> | afny: Well. |
| 22:44 | <@Ced23Ric> | It's really just out of spite. |
| 22:44 | <@Ced23Ric> | Not because I see it as usefull. |
| 22:44 | < afny> | That's more like it. |
| 22:44 | <@Ced23Ric> | I actually just started to hate the idea. |
| 22:44 | <@Ced23Ric> | DITCHED: |
| 22:44 | <@Ced23Ric> | NEXT. |
| 22:44 | < afny> | okay, well |
| 22:44 | < afny> | I say take it one frame at a time |
| 22:44 | < afny> | if you're going for 8 frames |
| 22:44 | < afny> | make two DF DF Y G |
| 22:44 | < afny> | so maybe one sprinter |
| 22:45 | < afny> | and one flier |
| 22:45 | < afny> | are you set on a faction? |
| 22:45 | <@Ced23Ric> | FC. |
| 22:45 | <@Ced23Ric> | I mean, I got 2 Ijad, 2 SU, 1 FC. |
| 22:45 | <@Ced23Ric> | The choice is obvious! |
| 22:45 | < afny> | Well I think hi-legs make kickass DF DF Y G |
| 22:46 | < afny> | my red hi-leg is that |
| 22:46 | <@Ced23Ric> | Can't make more. |
| 22:46 | < afny> | is your black and green one assigned to a company? |
| 22:46 | <@Ced23Ric> | Lacking the top hull parts. |
| 22:46 | <@Ced23Ric> | Yeah, Serpents. |
| 22:46 | < afny> | hm |
| 22:46 | <@Ced23Ric> | He's another Soldier. |
| 22:46 | <@Ced23Ric> | Replaced a Superheavy Chub. |
| 22:46 | < afny> | Well I think a conscript would look goofy as DF DF Y G |
| 22:46 | < afny> | unless you're in space |
| 22:46 | <@Ced23Ric> | Yeah. |
| 22:46 | <@Ced23Ric> | They don't bring that. |
| 22:47 | < afny> | and you don't like mgns for this? |
| 22:47 | < afny> | I think they look fast |
| 22:47 | <@Ced23Ric> | Don't like MgNs at all. |
| 22:47 | < afny> | bah |
| 22:47 | <@Ced23Ric> | I had 4 built. |
| 22:47 | < afny> | BAH I say. |
| 22:47 | <@Ced23Ric> | With arms. |
| 22:47 | <@Ced23Ric> | Felt no love. |
| 22:47 | < afny> | build them differently then |
| 22:47 | < afny> | no chub heads |
| 22:47 | < afny> | less armor |
| 22:48 | <@Ced23Ric> | Nah. |
| 22:48 | <@Ced23Ric> | Not feeling them. |

| 22:48 | < afny> | okay, hm |
| 22:49 | <@Ced23Ric> | Well, okay. |
| 22:49 | <@Ced23Ric> | Here is what I really want. |
| 22:49 | <@Ced23Ric> | I want 8 dirty, tan, deserty, Gulf War, cigar smoking mercenaries. |
| 22:49 | <@Ced23Ric> | I'm working on assault rifles right now that are tacticool as much as I can justify. |
| 22:50 | < afny> | how does |
| 22:50 | < afny> | a lime green fightermech |
| 22:50 | < afny> | fit into this equation |
| 22:50 | < afny> | Goose? |
| 22:50 | <@Ced23Ric> | Yupp. |
| 22:50 | <@Ced23Ric> | And I'll put some Tan on the fucker. |
| 22:53 | <~Noah> | http://www.mobileframehangar.com/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=1532 - Am I crazy? that brick looks like it has two holes for those two plates with clips. Is that a 1x1 technic with hole? |
| 22:54 | <@Ced23Ric> | Yes. |
| 22:54 | <@Ced23Ric> | It uses one per thigh. |
| 22:54 | <~Noah> | Cool, I have exactly zero of those, give or take zero |
| 22:55 | <@Ced23Ric> | I had about 20 odd of those. |
| 22:55 | <@Ced23Ric> | No, 30. |
| 22:55 | <@Ced23Ric> | 12 went into rifles. |
| 22:55 | <@Ced23Ric> | 16 into the Chubs. |
| 22:55 | <@Ced23Ric> | 2 into a Scrambler. |
| 22:55 | <@Ced23Ric> | 0 left. |

| 22:55 | <@Ced23Ric> | OH. |

| 23:00 | <@Ced23Ric> | "Jack's Sparrows. Our name is funny. The rest not so much." |

| 23:23 | < afny> | well |
| 23:23 | < afny> | if you think not declaring a G while flying is cheesy |
| 23:23 | < afny> | then having a sniper and a pistol but only one A system is cheesy |
| 23:23 | <@Ceddobear> | [00:21:51] <afny> it'd be badass, but you'd have a tough time calling it A Y Y X |
| 23:23 | <@Ceddobear> | [00:22:10] <@Ced23Ric> Ya think so? |
| 23:23 | <@Ceddobear> | [00:22:13] <@Ced23Ric> Okay, here goes. |
| 23:23 | <@Ceddobear> | [00:22:17] <@Ced23Ric> "He's out of ammo." |
| 23:23 | <@Ceddobear> | [00:22:31] <@Ced23Ric> "Why the fuck does he have a pistol then?" |
| 23:24 | < afny> | then it's an HtH system :D |
| 23:24 | < afny> | urgh, I kind of want to not use these awesome mchnzr heads now |
| 23:24 | <@Ceddobear> | Those duck heads? |
| 23:24 | | mode/#mf0 [+vv afny Whitewolf] by Ceddobear |
| 23:24 | <+afny> | because shoulder mounts are impossible |
| 23:24 | <+afny> | but they look so cooool |
| 23:24 | <@Ceddobear> | And duck heads. |
| 23:25 | | * Ceddobear wonders whether he should just hand the pistols to riflemen. |
| 23:25 | <@Ceddobear> | And have 3 soldiers, 3 big guns, 2 arty. |
| 23:25 | <+afny> | duck heads are cool |
| 23:26 | <@Ceddobear> | For ducks. |
| 23:26 | <+afny> | where are you getting your spot |
| 23:26 | <+afny> | or |
| 23:26 | <+afny> | do you only have two global spot |
| 23:26 | <+afny> | from the arty |

| 23:26 | <@Ceddobear> | Maybe? D: |
| 23:26 | <@Ceddobear> | Well, I have 1Y on every 'frame. |
| 23:26 | <@Ceddobear> | And 2 globals on the Arty. |
| 23:26 | <+afny> | hm |
| 23:26 | <+afny> | well my company only has two right now I guess |
| 23:26 | <+afny> | but they're on DF guys |
| 23:26 | <@Ceddobear> | Make the sniper a fast arty, the bazooka a tough arty. |
| 23:27 | <@Ceddobear> | Maybe have one captain, for added global spot. |
| 23:27 | <@Ceddobear> | But 1 captain, 2 soldier, 3 big gun, 2 arty, is almost Ijad config again. |
| 23:27 | <@Ceddobear> | It seems like I am stuck in a corner of efficiency. |

| 23:32 | <@Ceddobear> | You're welcome. I had to use that trick, too. |
| 23:32 | <@Ceddobear> | I FORGOT THE BEER. |
| 23:32 | <@Ceddobear> | WHAT KIND OF GERMAN AM I: |
| 23:32 | <~Noah> | The poop loving kind? |
| 23:33 | <~Noah> | The "I mailed your legos on a migrant worker" kind? |
| 23:33 | <@Ceddobear> | Negative, ghostrider. |
| 23:35 | <@Ceddobear> | Ooh. |
| 23:35 | <@Ceddobear> | I have one of those skater helmets. |
| 23:35 | <@Ceddobear> | Captain's head! Yoink! |
| 23:35 | <+afny> | nice, I love those things |
| 23:36 | <+afny> | in other news, I found out I could use a white minifig mug as part of a comms array |
| 23:36 | <@Ceddobear> | Great! |
| 23:37 | | * Ceddobear wonders whether he can pull of 7 Chubs. |
| 23:37 | <+afny> | do as I do |
| 23:37 | <@Ceddobear> | But make them individual enough to stand out. |
| 23:37 | <+afny> | oh, I thought you meant parts wise |
| 23:37 | <+afny> | MAKE THEM EACH A DIFFERENT COLOR AND GIVE THEM BIG HEADS |
| 23:37 | <@Ceddobear> | That, too. :D |
| 23:37 | <@Ceddobear> | NO. |
| 23:37 | <@Ceddobear> | TAN. |
| 23:39 | <@Ceddobear> | How do rumble chests work again? |
| 23:40 | <@Ceddobear> | Handle thingey on 1x2 jumpers? |
| 23:40 | <+afny> | yeah |
| 23:41 | <+afny> | the jumpers are vertical |
| 23:41 | <@Ceddobear> | Kk. |
| 23:44 | <+afny> | hm |
| 23:44 | <+afny> | okay |
| 23:44 | <+afny> | as far as these STs are concerned |
| 23:44 | <+afny> | I just need to figure out how to represent Gs and Bs |
| 23:44 | <+afny> | Ys and DFs are handled |
| 23:44 | <+afny> | I can just use the minifig helmets for the Rumble Monkey's Bs |
| 23:45 | <+afny> | and she doesn't have Gs |
| 23:45 | <@Ceddobear> | Mhmm. |
| 23:45 | <@Ceddobear> | The rumble chest is ... wobbly. |
| 23:45 | <@Ceddobear> | Or at least, not that stab?le |
| 23:46 | <+afny> | yeah, it's not |
| 23:46 | <+afny> | just shove both the plate and the handle as far up as it can go |
| 23:46 | <@Ceddobear> | Yeah, did. |
| 23:46 | <+afny> | I don't really mind, the rest of a stock 09 is pretty wobbly too |
| 23:46 | <@Ceddobear> | Not really liking it. |
| 23:46 | <+afny> | minifig helmets don't like it stay on |
| 23:46 | <+afny> | I think it's worth the aesthetic tradeoff, I could see how it could be annoying |
| 23:48 | | Whitewolf [a@Nightstar-a2be5ed2.superkabel.de] has quit [Client exited] |
| 23:49 | <+afny> | Okay, so |
| 23:49 | <@Ceddobear> | Yeah, I found an alternative. |
| 23:49 | <+afny> | 2x DF Y B G, 2x DF Y Y B, 2x A A B G, and 2x DF DF Y G |
| 23:49 | <+afny> | who should get the rockets? |
| 23:50 | <@Ceddobear> | The two soldiers and one captain. |
| 23:51 | <+afny> | this company is very traditional military, so I feel like your favored style fits it well |
| 23:52 | <@Ceddobear> | Harrr. |
| 23:52 | <@Ceddobear> | Mhmm. |
| 23:52 | <@Ceddobear> | I need to find a way to incorporate tubing. |
| 23:52 | <@Ceddobear> | I got 24L of tan tubing. |
| 23:56 | <+afny> | giant |
| 23:56 | <+afny> | robot |
| 23:56 | <+afny> | hookah. |
