Fuck, this lime accent is hot.
00:00
<@Ceddobear>
You'll love it.
00:00
<+afny>
lime and tan is very good
00:01
<+afny>
okay, the sniper chub looks convincingly A A
00:01
<+afny>
but the missile chub
00:01
<+afny>
this missile launcher is more A material
00:01
<+afny>
he needs a shoulder mounted howitzer
00:01
<+afny>
or maybe a shitty AT rifle
00:02
<+afny>
nah, howitzer makes more sense
00:02
<+afny>
with missiles
00:03
<@Ceddobear>
... I'll show off the sniper rilfe.
00:03
<@Ceddobear>
This guy can pull it off.

My chub can sit now!
00:07
<@Ceddobear>
All he needs is arms. :D
00:07
<~Noah>
But he cannot yet pick his fresh air intake
00:10
<+afny>
is he wearing a neck brace
00:10
<+afny>
what is it with this channel and chubs with neck braces
00:11
<+afny>
OKAY
00:11
<+afny>
I'm going to come up with a VERY low profile Blue system for Chubs
00:11
<+afny>
FFFF
00:11
<+afny>
I have four chubs that need a B
00:12
<@Ceddobear>
Mhmm.
00:12
<@Ceddobear>
Do you tink I can get away with naming the dude Rabbit "Jazz" Jackson ?
00:13
<@McMartin>
What you did there: I seen it.
00:13
<@McMartin>
You can probably get away with it.
00:13 * Ceddobear bos elegantly.
00:13
<@Ceddobear>
*bow
00:13
<@Ceddobear>
It's something for the older folks.
00:13
<@McMartin>
Speaking of
00:13
<@McMartin>
My Symmetric Mobile Resource Processors generally got called "Rabbits", too.
00:14
<@McMartin>
(Full disclosure: I never actually *played* Jazz Jackrabbit)

Me neither

b
00:14
<+afny>
ut you should make his frame
00:14
<+afny>
all lime green
00:14
<+afny>
with a blue gun
00:15
<+afny>
hm
00:15
<+afny>
now I kind of want to make a company based on Joust
00:15
<+afny>
four big ostrich mechs
00:15
<+afny>
and four lancers
00:15
<@McMartin>
With spears and jetpacks
00:15
<+afny>
yeah
00:15
<@McMartin>
Then you can have lava trolls and pterodactyls
00:15
<+afny>
I didn't actually play Joust, but I spent hours playing some weird mac clone
00:15
<+afny>
that was really egyptian
00:17
<@Ceddobear>
It's Kevin's favourite time again!
00:17
<+afny>
cheesecake time.
00:18
<@Ceddobear>
Your other favourite time.

Oh okay.
00:18
<+afny>
Urgh, what's a simple movement system for Chubs, man
00:19
<+afny>
I want to just do heel wheels but they're just too big
00:20
<@Ceddobear>
I just say they have stronger leg muscle cylinders and don't bother.
00:20
<@Ceddobear>
http://www.ced23ric.de/stuff/mf0/rabbits_b1.png
00:21
<+afny>
wow
00:21
<+afny>
I like it
00:22
<+afny>
that terrain
00:23
<@Ceddobear>
THat's my PAB run. :D

I built 3 16x18 rocks, 7 bricks tall, about 8x10 on top.
00:24
<+afny>
I didn't notice the flat ground portion in your othr shots
00:24
<+afny>
they're sweet
00:24
<+afny>
I can't really do the "stronger muscle cylinder" thing
00:24
<@Ceddobear>
Thanks man. :)
00:24
<+afny>
at least on the chicken head guys
00:24
<+Tetrajak>
heya peeps
00:24
<@Ceddobear>
I wanna build like ... 9 more.
00:24
<+afny>
because I mounted the SSRs on their shins
00:24
<+afny>
and if I was going to pop off a bit to signify losing the G
00:24
<+afny>
the SSR is over that
00:25
<@Ceddobear>
Have 3 singular rocks and 6 rocks with technic bricks, so I can stick them together, for a wall or central plateau.
00:25
<@Ceddobear>
Heya TJ! :)
00:25
<+afny>
did you build the elevation on the side/corners
00:25
<+afny>
so they can group together?
00:25
<@Ceddobear>
Not with those 3.
00:25
<@Ceddobear>
Those were meant to be singular.
00:25
<+afny>
it's gonna SUCK when you shoot them
00:25
<@Ceddobear>
But the next 6 will be interlocking.
00:25
<@Ceddobear>
Nah.
00:25
<+afny>
you'll never remember how they go together
00:25
<@Ceddobear>
I'll deal with that real easy.
00:26
<@Ceddobear>
Can't destroy the cover, but grants cover both ways.
00:26
<@Ceddobear>
Simple fix.
00:26
<+afny>
very unbalanced fix
00:26
<@Ceddobear>
How so? :D
00:26
<+afny>
EXTREMELY unbalanced fix
00:26
<+afny>
makes a dead zone
00:26
<@Ceddobear>
Where you can sit things out?
00:26
<@Ceddobear>
Danni's never gonna do that. :D :D :D
00:26
<+afny>
and where you can gain perma elevation
00:26
<+afny>
right now elevation is a tradeoff
00:26
<@Ceddobear>
And: You cannot destroy cover of that size.
00:27
<@Ceddobear>
It's not a wall.
00:27
<+afny>
sure you can
00:27
<@Ceddobear>
It's a hill.
00:27
<@Ceddobear>
It takes forever.
00:27
<+afny>
you blast a hole in the side of the mountain
00:27
<+afny>
if you focus fire it you could conceivably make a frame take falling damage
00:27
<@Ceddobear>
Well, but then you'd force me to use 5 times the bricks.
00:27 Axhead [chatzilla@Nightstar-e5f87f2f.ed.shawcable.net] has quit [Client closed the connection]
00:28
<@Ceddobear>
Because I either have them NOT hollow ... or indestructible.
00:28
<+Tetrajak>
Just use really big dark bley bricks in the center
00:28
<@Ceddobear>
So the hill crumbles faster once you craped the dirt off? :D
00:28
<+Tetrajak>
even if there's few of them, it's still not worth attacking said cover
00:28
<@Ceddobear>
Nah. I'd need 1x2 bricks.
00:28
<+Tetrajak>
it'll still take forever
00:28
<@Ceddobear>
Not in our games, dude.
00:29
<+afny>
yeah, big bricks blow away so fast
00:29
<@Ceddobear>
I've seen 12 damage rolls.
00:29
<+afny>
cover goes boom
00:29
<@Ceddobear>
Cover doesn't like that many dice.
00:29
<+afny>
or
00:29
<+Tetrajak>
ouch
00:29
<+afny>
kshkshs.
00:29
<@Ceddobear>
The worst was one volley.
00:29
<+Tetrajak>
ah, the sweet sound of bricks
00:29
<@Ceddobear>
Ripped through 30 bricks.
00:29
<@Ceddobear>
5 hits to cover, 2 to 'frame.
00:30
<@Ceddobear>
Wall lost a 6 by 6 section of 1x2 bricks. :D
00:30
<@Ceddobear>
That's 6 by 12.
00:30
<+Tetrajak>
sheesh
00:30
<@Ceddobear>
No, wait.
00:30
<@Ceddobear>
We usually ignore the lower 2 rows.
00:30
<+Tetrajak>
I really want some modular terrain that is constructed of exactly 6 bricks
00:30
<@Ceddobear>
So it's 4 x 18. ^^
00:30
<@Ceddobear>
4 x 8, that is.
00:30
<@Ceddobear>
Anyway.
00:30
<@Ceddobear>
Massive hole.
00:30
<@Ceddobear>
Took care of the entire wall.
00:31
<@Ceddobear>
4 x 16 element, ripped to shreds.
00:31
<@Ceddobear>
Cover ... cover dies. ^^
00:32
<@Ceddobear>
It's time for the cheapest Y in the history of Ys.
00:32
<+Tetrajak>
I'm going to see if I can some up with some 6-brick modular terrain, so nothing has to be destroyed
00:33
<@Ceddobear>
Coutner argument.
00:33
<@Ceddobear>
I don't wanna take out 4x2.
00:33
<@Ceddobear>
I wanna take out 2x4.
00:34
<@Ceddobear>
And suddenly, your modular idea doesn't work anymore.
00:34
<@Ceddobear>
The attacker decides which bricks go.

Your stuff is so insanely COLOURFUL.
00:36
<@Ceddobear>
You like Skittles.
00:36
<~Noah>
I love Skittles
00:37
<~Noah>
But yes, I'm more just building and making sure I have lots of colors to work with (to help make bricks visually distinct for ease of rebuilding later)
00:37
<~Noah>
Once I have a design that I'm 100% on, I'll build it in an actual color scheme
00:38
<~Noah>
Besides, it's a big fucking robot, it's more obvious than a giant golden penis statue
00:38
<+afny>
Ced
00:38
<+afny>
what's your opinion of LASERS
00:38
<~Noah>
Like the gun? I was playing around with the one pin I had
00:39
<@Ceddobear>
Dunno.
00:39
<@Ceddobear>
Lasers are iffy.
00:40
<+afny>
I want this flying flame to use two DF worth of LASERS
00:40
<+afny>
but it's already a little soft sci-fi
00:40
<+afny>
being floaty and all
00:40
<~Noah>
The Amarr use lasers
00:40
<+afny>
thank you captain relevant
00:40
<~Noah>
I like to think we're in soapstone scifi
00:41
<+afny>
the default setting is very hard sci-fi
00:41
<@Ceddobear>
I prefer masers, microwaves are less '80s.
00:41
<+afny>
with the exception of big robots and ftl
00:41
<@Ceddobear>
Lasers, I have banned into the Y corner.
00:42
<~Noah>
If we can power giant robots without large extension cords ala NGE, then I we can deal with lazors.
00:42
<~Noah>
I think*
00:45
<~Noah>
The alternative is I shoot you with depleted uranium armor piecing rounds
00:45
<~Noah>
In fact, I might shoot Cedric with those anyway
00:46
<@Ceddobear>
Well, my 'frames use DUAP.-
00:47
<@Ceddobear>
But we replaced the brass and lead with tungsten.
00:47
<@Ceddobear>
Tungsten rounds with DU tips, is standard issue on Vesopia.
00:47
<~Noah>
You're a bad man
00:48
<@Ceddobear>
Hey, Vesopia is a bad place to be, really.
00:48
<@Ceddobear>
It pretty much sucks, no matter who you are with.
00:48
<@Ceddobear>
SU? Everyone hates you. Your boss is a piece of shit. The ambassador is an old hag. You have no business being here.
00:49
<@Ceddobear>
FC? The SU sent the Serpents to KILL you. Negotiations are off. The Ijad take all your buddies into their ranks. And you are all fucking alone.
00:50
<~Noah>
I like to think my company is a bunch of crazy Ijad who are having too much fun playing war and backward engineering all the best fun stuff
00:50
<@Ceddobear>
Ijad? The SU hates you and blocks the transit gate. The FC bombs your shit every day around 12:30, at random locations. Your community is split into moderate carebears and militant warmongers.
00:50
<@Ceddobear>
Unaffiliated? Fodder.
00:50
<@Ceddobear>
So yeah.
00:50
<@Ceddobear>
DUAP-Tungsten ammo is the least worry.
00:50
<~Noah>
Look on the bright side, there are giant... robots... everywhere...? Fuck.
00:50
<@Ceddobear>
Oh, my Ijad use plasma projection technology.
00:51
<@Ceddobear>
And aluminium rounds, for their mass accelerator cannons.
00:52
<~Noah>
Aluminum? Can you even fire that?
00:52
<~Noah>
Or is it for like a rail gun type thing?
00:53
<@Ceddobear>
The latter, yeah.
00:53
<@Ceddobear>
The round is accelerated, not fired.
00:54
<@Ceddobear>
Aaaand because I almost knocked over 4 open trays, I'm done building for the night. :D
00:55
<~Noah>
LOL
00:56
<@Ceddobear>
It's a sure sign that my concentration has dropped.
00:56
<+afny>
urgh
00:56
<+afny>
these lasers
00:56
<+afny>
so not sure
00:57
<+afny>
it looks cool, but
00:57
<+afny>
....giant exploding lasers
00:59
<@Ceddobear>
Take pics.
01:00
<+afny>
gonna set up the lightbox I think

01:02
<+Tetrajak>
mmk
01:08
<+afny>
this is going to take me a minute
01:08
<+afny>
have to fuck with the white balance, then find a computer that will read the card
01:08
<+afny>
which will probably involve turning on my pc
01:08
<@Ceddobear>
Turn it on anyway.
01:08
<@Ceddobear>
Save some time.
01:09
<+afny>
it's a fucking space heater
01:09
<+afny>
the real problem is if I turn it on too soon
01:09
<+afny>
it will have powered down when I need it
01:09
<+afny>
there's a very SMALL WINDOW
01:10
<@Ceddobear>
:D
01:13
<+afny>
one of the guns on this blue guy is a placeholder
01:13
<+afny>
he's going to have handheld missiles, somehow
01:23
<+afny>
fuckk
01:23
<+afny>
it's so infuriating
01:23
<+afny>
it read the sd card like three times and then went back to not reading it
01:26
<@Ceddobear>
You need a new SD card reader.
01:26
<+afny>
maybe, but my PC reads it every time
01:26
<@Ceddobear>
You need a PC that doesn't do thermal shutdowns.
01:26
<+afny>
THAT
01:26
<+afny>
I do
01:27

it's just the drive though, it isn't overheating

I'd change my nick. :)
01:58

what do you tink
01:58
<@Ceddobear>
Also: Those guys are wicked.
01:58
<@Ceddobear>
And they confuse me.
01:58
<+afny>
which, the floaty ones?
01:58
<@Ceddobear>
Okay, the duckfaces first.
01:58
<@Ceddobear>
They tie in nicely.
01:58
<@Ceddobear>
The guy on the left, though.
01:59
<+afny>
Mittens suggestion about their shoulders really helped
01:59
<+afny>
he's just posed like a dick
01:59
<@Ceddobear>
He seems to have a sprouting tumor.
01:59
<+afny>
on his leg?
01:59
<@Ceddobear>
Yes.
01:59
<+afny>
They all have those
01:59
<+afny>
they're SSR pods
01:59
<@Ceddobear>
Oh, they all ..
01:59
<@Ceddobear>
Ah!
01:59
<@Ceddobear>
SRM-1OS.
01:59
<@Ceddobear>
Gotcha.
01:59
<@Ceddobear>
Okay.
01:59
<+afny>
ran out of flat tiles so I'm using cheese
02:00
<@Ceddobear>
The Chubby Chubs.
02:00
<@Ceddobear>
Rookie dude is all like ... "I got hands. If I only knew what for!"
02:00
<@Ceddobear>
Give him binocs. :D
02:00
<+afny>
gang signs
02:00
<@Ceddobear>
Sniper dude is cool. He got his stuff together.
02:00
<+afny>
I'm thinking about making his B a handheld system
02:00
<@Ceddobear>
Rumble Monkey rumbles.
02:00
<+afny>
right now that white round+butt on the howitzer is like a decoy launcher
02:00
<@Ceddobear>
AND THEN.
02:01
<@Ceddobear>
SHIT GETS CRAZY.
02:01
<+afny>
yes
02:01
<+afny>
yes it does
02:01
<@Ceddobear>
I DON'T EVEN.
02:01
<@Ceddobear>
The one in the back is like my gateway drug.
02:01
<@Ceddobear>
But the red one is straight-up LSD.
02:01
<+afny>
pretty much
02:02
<@Ceddobear>
The blue one is cool shizzle. I like him alot, actually.
02:02
<+afny>
he's gonna get a big ass missile launcher
02:02
<@Ceddobear>
But the red one is just OUT THERE.
02:02
<+afny>
in place of one of those guns
02:02
<+afny>
I'm really unsure about the lasers
02:02
<+afny>
like, right now
02:02
<@Ceddobear>
Keep the black one.
02:02
<+afny>
it's just randomly firing lasers from its wrists
02:02
<+afny>
those little drones are both 1Y
02:03
<+afny>
I'm definitely willing to change the red one's weapon system, but
02:03
<@Ceddobear>
I like the drones.
02:03
<+afny>
I really don't know to what
02:03
<@Ceddobear>
The red one is just too crazy for my taste.
02:03
<+afny>
I know I don't want it to have traditional guns
02:03
<+afny>
I think it's a bit too out there for the setting
02:03
<+afny>
the weapons at least
02:03
<@Ceddobear>
Yeah.
02:03
<+afny>
I just wanted to see what it would look like
02:04
<@Ceddobear>
Crazy.
02:04
<+afny>
without the lasers, though, it just looks like a more decorated version of the blue one
02:05
<@Ceddobear>
The blue one looks fucking awesome.
02:06
<+afny>
these guys are experienced space combatants
02:06
<+afny>
and obviously those two are supposed to be Orbital Frames
02:06
<+afny>
so they're sort of at a disadvantage fighting in the atmosphere

Haha, yes, I know
02:07
<+afny>
but he's fine
02:07
<+afny>
I don't need to fix him
02:07
<+afny>
HOW do I fix the red one's weapons
02:07
<@Ced23Ric>
Mhmm.
02:07
<@Ced23Ric>
He needs flamers.
02:07
<@Ced23Ric>
*nods*
02:08
<+afny>
ehhh
02:08
<+afny>
that seems like a VERY shitty way to attack from the air
02:08
<+afny>
napalm bombings excluded
02:08
<@Ced23Ric>
Tell that to the Vietcong.
02:08

Ah, okay.

Woot woot weekend!!
02:10 Ceddobear [Ced@Nightstar-b5d12d5c.adsl.alicedsl.de] has quit [Ping timeout: 121 seconds]
02:10
<+afny>
like, I'm thinking something decentralized
02:11
<+afny>
really do want beam weapons, but
02:11
<+afny>
something less ridiculous than just mysterious energy emanating from from every robo-orifice
02:12
< CaGeRit>
How about lasers?
02:12
<+afny>
lasers are the problem
02:12
< CaGeRit>
How so?
02:12
< CaGeRit>
Everyone loves lasers!
02:13
<+afny>
This frame is already kind of out there
02:13
<+afny>
and I'm not good at making lasers fit the hard sci-fi setting
02:13
<+afny>
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/84803929/100_2443.JPG
02:13
< CaGeRit>
But we already have lasers
02:13
< CaGeRit>
That work and stuff
02:13
<+afny>
yeah, but implementing them is the hard part
02:13
< CaGeRit>
It isn't scifi
02:13
<+afny>
these lasers
02:13
<+afny>
are sci-fi
02:14
< CaGeRit>
They arn't the realistic hard ones that superheat a small area of space until it melts/combusts?
02:14
<+afny>
well look at it
02:14
<+afny>
it's less of a beam weapon
02:14
<+afny>
more of a laser orgasm.
02:14
< CaGeRit>
It could be a lava gun!!
02:14
< CaGeRit>
or superheated concentrated plasma
02:15
< CaGeRit>
Or a sort of orangy super corrosive liquid.
02:15
< CaGeRit>
Like a super soaker OF DEATH!!
02:15
<+afny>
neither one of those things seem very contemporary with 28mm rifles
02:16
< CaGeRit>
Then why not give it 28mm rifles?
02:16
<+afny>
...because I want it to have lasers
02:16
<+afny>
YOU SEE HOW IT GOES
02:16
<+afny>
this is how it goes.
02:16
< CaGeRit>
Then give it lasers.
02:16
< CaGeRit>
Every one loves lasers!!
02:17
<@Ced23Ric>
Hrm.
02:17
<@Ced23Ric>
Dual missile racks looks good.
02:17
< CaGeRit>
I doubt there will ever be a weapon that shoots a coninous beam of light.
02:17
<@Ced23Ric>
And the tan lines really work, too.
02:17
< CaGeRit>
It would totaly give away the fireres position
02:17
<+afny>
heh
02:17
<+afny>
...tan lines
02:17
<@Ced23Ric>
What I did there. You saw it.
02:18
< CaGeRit>
Pretend my last statement was spelled correctly if you could.
02:18

hm

I can't be wastin' no taps on HAND GRENADES

02:19
<+afny>
still looks like a foghorn
02:20
< CaGeRit>
I like the non-symetrical arms.
02:20
<@Ced23Ric>
A pretty foghorn.
02:20
< CaGeRit>
You could probably get rid of the foghorn look if you replaced the tap with a 3m brick pin thing.
02:20
< CaGeRit>
Or a nozzle
02:21
<@randolph>
Note that the primary Ijad scrambler weapon system is essentially a laser
02:23
<@Ced23Ric>
I have no other use for light grey taps, Kevin.
02:23
<@Ced23Ric>
They are my backup shitty taps.
02:23
<@randolph>
What taps are your primary?
02:23
<+afny>
I ONLY use light grey
02:23
<@Ced23Ric>
randolph: Black.
02:23
<+afny>
I bought ten black taps and used them for a few operator as fuck gun handles
02:23
<@randolph>
cool
02:24
<@Ced23Ric>
I have like 50 more in white.
02:24
<@randolph>
I bought a bunch of black and white taps off PAB
02:24
<+afny>
but when I was shopping black taps were like 4 cents more expensive
02:24
<@Ced23Ric>
But never use them.
02:24
<@Ced23Ric>
LOL.
02:24
<@Ced23Ric>
PAB TAPS.
02:24
<@randolph>
I use the black ones as muscle fiber
02:24
<@Ced23Ric>
RANDY BE TROLLIN.
02:24
<@randolph>
Not the wall, LEGO.com
02:24
<@Ced23Ric>
Oh.
02:24
<@randolph>
They were cheaper than what I could get
02:24
<@Ced23Ric>
Urgh.
02:24
<@randolph>
yeah
02:24
<@Ced23Ric>
I paid US$ 0.4 per tap here.
02:24
<@Ced23Ric>
I think.
02:24
<@randolph>
ow
02:25
<@Ced23Ric>
No, wait.
02:25
<@randolph>
US 0.15 on LEGO.com
02:25
<@Ced23Ric>
That's is completely wrong.
02:25
<@Ced23Ric>
US$ 0.065
02:25
<@Ced23Ric>
That's more like it.
02:26
<@randolph>
New or used?
02:26
<@Ced23Ric>
New.
02:26
<@randolph>
I couldn't find them in quantity for less than $0.15 at the time, so I just gave my business to LEGO

mmmm missile launcher designed for microgravity
02:27
<@randolph>
I use the white ones for gun handles
02:27
<+afny>
I can build as big as I want
02:27
<@Ced23Ric>
The best size launcher.
02:27
<@Ced23Ric>
"as big as I want".
02:27
<@randolph>
occasional joints that aren't supposed to be exposed muscle fiber
02:28
<@Ced23Ric>
Yeah, I'm uber strict on color schemes, nowadays.
02:28
<@randolph>
So am I, but WT is Black & White~
02:28
<@Ced23Ric>
Every 'frame gets a primary colour, a primary structure colour, a secondary structure colour and an accent.
02:28
<@Ced23Ric>
And I try to cut down on breaking this "framework".
02:29
<+afny>
I do whatever the fuck I want when it comes to color
02:29
<+afny>
02:29
<@randolph>
Ah, yeah, for me, the adherence is to the background
02:29
<+afny>
(and missile launcher size)
02:29
<@Ced23Ric>
Results in very crisp 'frames for me.
02:29
<@randolph>
i.e. "This was a product developed for X market"
02:29
<@Ced23Ric>
Background?
02:29
<@Ced23Ric>
Well, yeah. :D
02:29
<@Ced23Ric>
I am working on desert mercs right now.
02:29
<@Ced23Ric>

"This one had a focus group of middle-aged golfers"
02:29
<@randolph>
"This is a custom job for Mr. Chibs"
02:29

That is where we differ.
02:30
<@Ced23Ric>
You appeal to middle-aged golfers.
02:30
<@Ced23Ric>
I burn down orphanages.
02:30
<@randolph>
Nah, WT does that too
02:30
<@randolph>
We're diversified.
02:30
<@Ced23Ric>
But YOU.
02:30
<@Ced23Ric>
Like, you.
02:30
<@Ced23Ric>
You are always nice. :D
02:30
<@randolph>
heh
02:30 * Ced23Ric wants to see a WT 'frame that rips something apart.
02:31
<@Ced23Ric>
Nor Mr. Chibs.
02:31
<@Ced23Ric>
*Not
02:31
<@randolph>
Like, action shot, or in a metaphorical sense
02:31
<@Ced23Ric>
Or something so viciously armed, I look into my pants and feel inadequate.
02:31
<@randolph>
Unity Deluxe didn't do it for ya?
02:31
<@Ced23Ric>
Unity was SLEEK.
02:31
<@Ced23Ric>
Beautiful, you could say.
02:31
<@randolph>
Ok, something more "Reaver?"
02:31
<@Ced23Ric>
But not intimidating. :D
02:32
<@Ced23Ric>
Yeah.
02:32
<@Ced23Ric>
Or, just, gritty.
02:32
<@randolph>
fair
02:32
<@Ced23Ric>
But that's personal taste.
02:32
<@Ced23Ric>
I am not riding your balls here.
02:32
<@randolph>
well, I mean, hey, sure wh not
02:32
<@randolph>
No, I don't mind
02:32
<@randolph>
I need to expand my repertoire, and thus, WangTech's market share
02:32
<@Ced23Ric>
Have you seen the pics of my desert terrain pieces?
02:32
<@randolph>
I have
02:32
<@randolph>
wait, the rock plateaus, right?
02:32
<@Ced23Ric>
Yeah!
02:33
<@randolph>
We discussed them the day you put them together
02:33
<@Ced23Ric>
It's 3:30am. D:
02:33
<@randolph>
hehe
02:33
<@Ced23Ric>
I am working on floating rocks.
02:33
<@randolph>
I really don't want to have to take that shit apart when somebody inevitably shoots it
02:33
<@randolph>
It looks great, but augh
02:33
<@Ced23Ric>
... how am I gonna take a mountain apart?
02:33
<@randolph>
I think TJ had a good idea about making bite-sized cover
02:33
<@randolph>
not 6 bricks
02:34
<@randolph>
but 6 bricks + 2 high
02:34
<@randolph>
so you just remove the whole damned thing
02:34
<@Ced23Ric>
Still, attacker's choice.
02:34
<@randolph>
Sure
02:34
<@Ced23Ric>
I'll brb, havign a smoke.
02:34
<@randolph>
And I'll tell my friends "don't be a dick, these are all calibrated for efficiency and NOT BREAKING MY BEAUTIFUL SHIT"
02:34
<@randolph>
hehe
02:36
<@randolph>
Ooh
02:36
<@randolph>
Here's an idea - cover structures built with tear-away pieces so they look good in various states of damage
02:36
<@randolph>
So you could like, have a piece of wall with technic pins sticking out to be "exposed broken pipes"
02:37
<@randolph>
and that slots together with another piece to have the wall whole again
02:37
<@randolph>
a section of roof that only attaches to one or two walls of a building, attached by hinge plate, so when half the building collapses, you can hinge it down to make the roof lean crazily
02:39
<@Ced23Ric>
I wanna build an old ancient Ijad ruin. In the desert.
02:39
<@randolph>
hot
02:39
<@randolph>
Yurt variant with open center piece?
02:39
<@Ced23Ric>
Nope.
02:39
<@Ced23Ric>
A massive piece.
02:39
<@Ced23Ric>
Sideways, with steps leading up to a ritual altar.
02:39
<@randolph>
aha
02:39
<@Ced23Ric>
And broken pillars and arches.
02:40
<@randolph>
nice
02:40
<@Ced23Ric>
Very slopey. :D
02:40
<@randolph>
made out of tan/dark tan for sandstone?
02:40
<@randolph>
or white for marble/granite?
02:40
<@randolph>
or black for obsidian?
02:40
<@Ced23Ric>
Well, I though of dark tan/tan for the stone and rock.
02:40
<@randolph>
so super ancient
02:40
<@Ced23Ric>
And then, some white pieces.
02:40
<@Ced23Ric>
Ontop of the structure.
02:40
<@randolph>
That sounds great
02:40
<@randolph>
like a ziggurat/acropolis vibe
02:40
<+Tetrajak>
ANd then, you use it as cover, and I pull 6 bricks off it at a time :D
02:41
<@Ced23Ric>
:D
02:41
<@randolph>
No, see, there's a sign next to it
02:41
<@Ced23Ric>
It'll be good.
02:41
<@randolph>
"Protected by the Ijad Historical Preservation Society"
02:41
<@Ced23Ric>
"DON'T SHOOT THE RUINS. SEEK COVER ELSEWHERE. PISS OFF."
02:41
<+Tetrajak>
lololol
02:41
<@Ced23Ric>
Nah, it'll deffo be a station of sorts.
02:41
<@randolph>
First person to shoot it gets attacked by an 8 frame company that just wants to destroy them
02:41
<@randolph>
They just appear.
02:41
<@Ced23Ric>
Mhmm.
02:41
<+Tetrajak>
"YOU DICK! DON'T HIDE BEHIND MY HOUSE! THOSE IDIOTS OVER THERE WILL BLOW IT UP! GO ON! PISS OFF!"
02:42
<@Ced23Ric>
Do you think it is acceptable to paint some pieces?
02:42
<+Tetrajak>
dye is better
02:42
<@randolph>
"Trespassers will be shot, and then shot again after cover has been removed"
02:42
<+Tetrajak>
lololol
02:42
<@Ced23Ric>
I have my WH40k paints here.
02:42
<@randolph>
Ced: you mean like detailing?
02:42
<+Tetrajak>
depends how much you're going to paint them, and whether you plan on using the pieces on anything else
02:42
<@Ced23Ric>
Well, no.
02:42
<@Ced23Ric>
Just paint 'em black.
02:42
<+Tetrajak>
then they don't fit together :/
02:43
<@randolph>
Well, I see a red tile and I want to paint it black.
02:43
<@Ced23Ric>
It's a matte black.
02:43
<@Ced23Ric>
CHAOS BLACK.
02:43
<@randolph>
No colors anymore
02:43
<@Ced23Ric>
Oh, and I wanna build AN/PEQs.
02:43
<+Tetrajak>
adds too much mass
02:43
<@Ced23Ric>
Super operator rifles.
02:43
<+Tetrajak>
bricks don't fit together
02:45
<@Ced23Ric>
I think I will saw these 3L shafts into bits.
02:45
<+afny>
I think these new weapons really help ground the red one
02:45
<+afny>
literally, in the sense that I don't think it could fly at all
02:46
<@Ced23Ric>
Bahahaha.

Yes.

02:59
<+Tetrajak>
you said something previously about testing your HSC company against itself, and varying the loadout

Totally didn't do that.

all good, I'm not expecting you to run sims

I admit, I'm getting sick of running them myself

But Sims, ugh, no.

I ... I dunno. I look at the game and understand it.

Can't always apply it, but I know what's what.

it would work if I had done the travis connections in the chest
03:03
<+afny>
but I have this really weak one stud breakpoint
03:03
<+afny>
when I get some more travis I'll do them up right and give them huge ass launchers
03:03
<+afny>
for now, something else
03:03
<+afny>
I DID get a cool beam rifle going for the red one though

there we go
03:25

so I've got a new

<+afny>
lighter launcher
03:25
<+afny>
sadly I couldn't make it all in black
03:25
<+afny>
but I only have enough stuff for one, because it's parts intensive
03:25
<+afny>
SO STILL
03:25
<+afny>
don't have a second weapon for the red frame
03:25
<+afny>
it's awesome laser rifle looks real good though

man, only a week or so from now, and I will FINALLY have the parts to complete the two companies that are current'y in the works
03:29
<+Tetrajak>
(he said, having already decided to change the specs of one of them)
03:30
<+Tetrajak>
AND I'll have a lightbox sometime in the next week ;D
03:30
<+Tetrajak>
+ lights
03:30
<+Tetrajak>
then maybe I can stop taking photos with the camera on my phone and actually use one of the REAL cameras we have around the house
03:31
<@randolph>
heh
03:32

I think a light box kind of demands the use of a decent camera

"flash suppressor"

"A flash suppressor, also known as a flash guard, flash eliminator, flash hider, or flash cone [...]"
03:36
<@randolph>
Right, I'm saying, nobody uses "flash hider"
03:36
<@randolph>
It sounds kinda dorky in English
03:37

Well, a) that's from the English wikipedia and b) is also used in Battlefield 3.

03:54
<@Ced23Ric>
Just one.
03:54
<@randolph>
blue and gray no?
03:54
<@Ced23Ric>
The grey one is 3mm hose.

03:55

huh
03:55

It's probably the best thing ever. :D
03:55
<@randolph>
So what's that front vertical black bar?
03:55
<@Ced23Ric>
That's a 1x2 plate with prongs.
03:55
<@randolph>
ohh
03:55

Like the Chubs has a frame around the back tank.
03:55

04:08

nd he's a little backheavy

so he had to lean forward
04:09
<+afny>
and it just looks like he dropped his gun
04:09

His DINKY gun.
04:09

Ced: in the grenade, the thing the tap goes into
04:10

It's a halfpin.

halfpins are like

Halfpin into 1x1 round brick. The stud of the brick is covered with a 1x1 round tile.
04:10

the LINCHPIN to snotting

I need some round tiles

So, what do you think the setup should be for my first maptool game?
04:20

Taking suggestions. :)
04:20
<+afny>
how are you doing destructible terrain?

afny: cover will take damage, but I don't know if I'll have it ready to show in the first game.
04:22
<+afny>
I have my doubts about online play mostly for that reason
04:23
<+afny>
I think cover (and the destruction of such) is SO integral to the game
04:24
<+afny>
what are you going to do instead?
04:25
<@randolph>
Just make 6 brick cover that fills a space.
04:25
<@randolph>
bam, done
04:26
<@randolph>
each hit removes a hex of cover
04:26
<+afny>
I don't necessarily think that's best for a real game, but if it makes it easier to have removable cover on maptool, it's MILES better than indestructible cover
04:27
<+FerrelFerret>
I have walls made of brick for cover, and they are in units.
04:28
<+FerrelFerret>
they are 8 studs long and three bricks high.
04:29
<+FerrelFerret>
sorry 4 bricks high
04:30
<+FerrelFerret>
so, 14 bricks total.
04:30
<+FerrelFerret>
I might make it 6 high
04:31
<+FerrelFerret>
it's all subjective, I can say it is as tall as I want since it's top-down
04:31
<+FerrelFerret>
I figured I'd give them hit points
04:31
<+FerrelFerret>
how many bricks per hit
04:31
<+FerrelFerret>
I don't have the PDF handy
04:31
<@randolph>
6 bricks
04:32
<@randolph>
and it stops being cover at less than 3 bricks high
04:32
<@randolph>
and the attacker picks which bricks...
04:32
<@randolph>
So if it doesn't have enough bricks to still be 3 bricks high after 6 strategic bricks are removed, it's one-shot cover, and might as well be 6 bricks
04:32
<+FerrelFerret>
At 6 tall that's 3 HP per wall
04:36
<@randolph>
3 hp before uselessness or evaporation?
04:37
<+FerrelFerret>
Randolph, yes. I'll have a state that shows it is destroyed.
04:37
<+FerrelFerret>
eventually I'll have Damaged walls in a hidden layer
04:38
<+FerrelFerret>
then switch
04:38
<+FerrelFerret>
It's just a lot of MLCad and rendering.
04:38
<@randolph>
er, no I mean
04:39
<@randolph>
"is it 3 of 3 hp, with 0 being 'gone,' or 3 hp of cover, 1 hp of uselesness but still there"
04:41
<+FerrelFerret>
Well, If it goes to 0 it gets a 'destroyed' state, which is an image that clearly shows it gone...
04:41
<+FerrelFerret>
Or I could just make it hidden
04:41
<@randolph>
I guess if you're doing it virtually, there's functionally no difference between "ex-cover that is 2 bricks high" and "non-cover terrain"
04:43
<+FerrelFerret>
yeah, it's not the perfect solution, but It means some of us can play an actual game in real time.
04:43
<@randolph>
It's pretty much fine if you assume "attacker always removes optimal 6 pieces" and "standardized cover contsruction that is quantized"
04:43
<+FerrelFerret>
I have no one to play with atm, and don't have enough bricks to build enough companies for others
04:43
<@randolph>
Chibis~

They're very piece non-intensive~

THERE AREN'T EVEN THAT MANY CHESS PEICES.
06:09
<@randolph>
What organization?
06:10
<+afny>
hm, I haven't really decided that either
06:10
<+afny>
I guess UMFL is the most flexible
06:10
<+afny>
I'm not entirely sure what the TEM or TTM would be doing in my setting
06:11
<@randolph>
Ok, so UMFL means you can draw on real-world naming conventions
06:11
<@randolph>
105th Armored Infantry, that sort of thing
06:11
<+afny>
Eh, I just want something cool like ____ Regiment, E Company
06:11
<+afny>
I don't have a hard on for real world military or numbers over 100
06:12
<@randolph>
You realize that the cool names are all nicknames right?
06:12
<@randolph>
So you can call it whatever the hell you want
06:12

yeah, but I don't care about the name behidn it

if you just want a nickname

06:12
<@randolph>
sure
06:12
<@randolph>
I'm saying if you want chess pieces, go for it
06:12
<+afny>
I mean, I don't care if they're the 84th Standing-Tank Battery of the blah blah blah
06:12
<@randolph>
Because it'd just be a nickname
06:12
<+afny>
Yeah, but chess pieces aren't cool
06:12
<@randolph>
It doesn't *have* to have enough pieces for the entire UMFL
06:12
<@randolph>
:(
06:12
<+afny>
I just have writers block
06:12
<@randolph>
I think they're really cool -_-
06:12
<+afny>
no, I meant, when I tried to brainstorm
06:12
<+afny>
I could only come up with names of chess pieces
06:12
<@randolph>
Black Rooks
06:13
<+afny>
not that each piece needed to be something
06:13
<@randolph>
that's pretty solid

Is anyone doing major and minor arcana from tarot? If not, I call dibs
06:13
<+afny>
I already named these frames "rooks"
06:13
<+afny>
but then I changed them because Dukayn does birds
06:13
<@randolph>
Who cares?
06:13
<+afny>
so they're Tautogs now, a type of fish in the Chub family
06:13
<+afny>
(because they're basically Chubs)
06:13
<~Noah>
narf
06:13
<+afny>
Well they're not in the same family at all, actually
06:13
<+afny>
but they're called chubs

afny: I suppose if you ask me nicely, I'll let you do tarot instead, and I can do something else~

I was thinking Coins and Cups
06:19
<~Noah>
But Rings replaces Coins, and balls stfu
06:19
<@randolph>
poker cards, too. I was thinking about assigning those the other day.
06:19
<+afny>
Every time I think about french suits
06:19
<@randolph>
might just do a few
06:20
<+afny>
I just flash to Mobile Fighter G Gundam
06:20
<@randolph>
You want to buy LV?
06:20
<+afny>
??
06:20
<+afny>
Not THOSE kind of suits
06:20
<@randolph>
<_<
06:20
<@randolph>
Oh, of course, what was I thinking
06:21
<+afny>
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3zJTNOxV4Qg
06:21
<~Noah>
You could also do gemstones?
06:22
<@randolph>
Sapphires for harmony...
06:23
<+afny>
Oh god.
06:23
<@randolph>
Wait, it's Opal, nvm
06:23
<+afny>
Sapphires for DIVINITY. Shit.
06:23
<@randolph>
Sorry OKAY, I haven't played in a couple months
06:23
<+afny>
Same
06:24
<+afny>
I'm done for good I think
06:24
<@randolph>
heh
06:24
<+afny>
My bot lane partner is real mad at me
06:24
<@randolph>
"yeah, I unsubscribed"
06:24
<+afny>
he claims to be pro tat both roles now
06:24
<+afny>
-t
06:24
<@randolph>
well, I mean, it's not like you can't see other people
06:24
<@randolph>
There are other carries in the sea, dude
06:25
<+afny>
I don't think he sees it that way
06:25
<+afny>
he's just going to become both.
06:25
<@randolph>
Well, I mean, that's between him and his psychologist and Johns Hopkins
06:25
<+afny>
Is the official Mac client even out yet?
06:25
<@randolph>
You gotta move on, you knoww?
06:25
<+afny>
I couldn't play even if I wanted to
06:25
<@randolph>
Heh
06:26
<@randolph>
I dunno, lost track, I could ask
06:26
<+afny>
Eh
06:26
<+afny>
I CARE NOT.
06:27
<~Noah>
Uh, are we talking about a MOBA
06:27
<+afny>
Listen buddy
06:27
<+afny>
you were talking about TAROT
06:29
<~Noah>
Which I assume is a MOBA?
06:30
<@randolph>
Hm, there *was* some game called Tarot either out or coming out, I forget
06:31
<~Noah>
I'm just confused because we go on bottom lane partners, and I swear we weren't talking about a MOBA
06:31
<@randolph>
oh
06:31
<@randolph>
Yeah, you said gemstones
06:31
<@randolph>
So I said the "sapphires for <wrong thing>" quote
06:31
<@randolph>
That's a reference to Taric, the Gem Knight in League of Legends
06:32
<~Noah>
Oh
06:32
<~Noah>
I hardly ever play Taric
06:32
<+afny>
I pretty much only played Lee Sin and AD carry
06:33
<~Noah>
I usually Teemo if I want to faceroll, Sona if I want to win, Kennan if I want to remind myself why I don't play Kennan
06:33
<~Noah>
Kennen*
06:33
<~Noah>
Though the dragon bitch can be fun
06:33
<~Noah>
Shy...something
06:34
<+afny>
Yeah, I played a lot of her
06:34
<+afny>
Really good jungler with the right comp
06:34
<~Noah>
I am balls at Jungling
06:35
<~Noah>
I usually get ganked and fall behind. I much prefer Sona
06:35
<+afny>
I'm just so done with team games like that
06:35
<+afny>
I could never find people that wanted to take it as seriously as I did
06:35
<+afny>
or who could accept criticism without feeling like their epeen was being violated
06:37
<~Noah>
I'm not a tryhard, I just like having fun
06:37
<~Noah>
But I do like to play PVP solely, and my meatspace friends are PVP cowards
06:37
<+afny>
The fact that you even acknowledge the existence of a PvE portion in that game
06:37
<+afny>
AMUSES me.
06:38
<@randolph>
For comp 5v5, I played tanks
06:38
<~Noah>
Only because it gives me a reason to make my friends PVP "Hey, our PVE timer is up, so if we want IP, let's kill some doods"
06:38
<@randolph>
oh afny
06:39
<+afny>
?
06:39
<@randolph>
If you wanted to find some serious players
06:39
<@randolph>
who are generally pretty nice dudes
06:39
<@randolph>
and can generally accept criticism
06:39
<@randolph>
check out the Gaming forum on Ars Technica
06:39
<@randolph>
There's a LoL thread
06:39
<+afny>
Sounds a bit better than
06:39
<+afny>
REDDIT
06:39
<@randolph>
heh
06:39
<+afny>
worst gaming experience OF MY LIFE
06:40
<@randolph>
We have ventrilo and IRC
06:40
<+afny>
As I said I can't even play until they release a stable Mac client
06:40
<+afny>
a
06:40
<@randolph>
bootcamp?
06:40
<~Noah>
randolph: Are you a tryhard?
06:40
<+afny>
+nd I'm sort of planning on getting into SC2
06:40
<@randolph>
Noah: You know how Ced is towards games?
06:40
<@randolph>
I'm like that, plus spreadsheets
06:40
<~Noah>
I don't actually
06:40
<~Noah>
Ah
06:40
<@randolph>
optimization runs in my veins
06:40
<~Noah>
I was spreadsheety with WoW
06:40
<~Noah>
Then I quit WoW
06:41
<~Noah>
Because I got spreadsheety
06:41
<@randolph>
I have a coffee mug.
06:41
<@randolph>
It says "I <3 spreadsheets"
06:41
<+afny>
My support and I have a shared googledocs spreadsheet
06:41
<+afny>
with everyone we know that plays listed
06:41
<+afny>
their roles and champions
06:41
<@randolph>
It's just that, part of the appeal of any interesting game is the mechanics
06:41
<+afny>
it's COLOR CODED
06:42
<~Noah>
I figured if I was going to be spreadsheeting for a game, it might as well be one where the barrier to entry is a "learning cliff", thus I started playing EVE
06:42
<@randolph>
crunchy, crunchy, delicious mechanics
06:42
<@randolph>
hee
06:42
<@randolph>
I also played EVE for years
06:43
<~Noah>
I'd probably be playing it now if my laptop didn't suck and I had a bit more freetime
06:43
<@randolph>
I have some homebrew spreadsheets I made for calculating diminishing returns and breakpoints for ECM diminishing returns
06:43
<@randolph>
er
06:43
<@randolph>
ECM / falloff
06:44
<@randolph>
I don't think I'd ever go back to EVE though
06:44
<~Noah>
I promised myself I wouldn't get manic with EVE
06:44
<~Noah>
Because it's a game that I really had fun with, and I didn't want to lose that
06:44
<@randolph>
hm
06:45
<@randolph>
Most of the fun in EVE to me was PvP, which isn't exactly light on committment
06:46
<~Noah>
Yea, but I didn't have grind like I did in WoW, it's just about having enough ISK to fix your shit when you get blown to bits
06:46
<@randolph>
hehe fair
06:46
<@randolph>
Do you factional pvp, lowsec/pirate, or nullsec?
06:47
<@randolph>
Or suicide/highsec?
06:47
<~Noah>
And PVP is FAR more scary in EVE than any other PVP game I've played, really make my heart pound
06:47
<~Noah>
Lowsec/pirate (anti-pirate depending on where I'm at)
06:47
<@randolph>
ah k
06:48
<@randolph>
that's less time-committment intensive
06:48
<@randolph>
Have you heard of Kane Rizzel?
06:48
<~Noah>
Sounds...familiar
06:48
<@randolph>
He made a pretty big name for himself, had a pirate blog
06:48
<~Noah>
<-- Vherokior
06:48
<@randolph>
He was a former corpmate
06:49
<~Noah>
Yea, really does sound familiar, what corps were you in?
06:50
<@randolph>
Just Ars Caelestis [ArsC] and Ars Ex Discordia [ArseD] (continuation after CEO went nuts)
06:50
<@randolph>
Kane parted amicably and formed NovaKane iirc
06:51
<~Noah>
Yea, he has a blog at kovakaneinc.blogspot.com
06:51
<@randolph>
ArsClan / Ars Technica, good place to find a gaming community
06:52
<~Noah>
novakaneinc.blogspot.com rather
06:52
<~Noah>
One day I'll get to playing again
06:54
<@McMartin>
I should probably officially register at some point
06:54
<~Noah>
For...EVE?
06:55
<@McMartin>
Nah, for ArsClan. I dropped about a hundred hours on Spiral Knights with them over the years.
06:55
<~Noah>
Oh, haha
06:55
<~Noah>
I don't get that game
06:55
<~Noah>
Also my video card hates it
06:55
<@McMartin>
EVE or SK?
06:55
<~Noah>
SK
06:55
<@randolph>
It's F2P Diablo Lite, played like Zelda
06:55
<@McMartin>
It's Chibiablo
06:55
<~Noah>
60FPS everywhere, until there's particle fog, then 5FPS
06:55
<~Noah>
Yea, I've played a little
06:56
<@randolph>
It's pretty fun once you get ramped up
06:56
<~Noah>
I actually liked it okay, but the fog thing was killing me
06:56
<@McMartin>
Oh, OK
06:56
<@McMartin>
I thought "I don't get that game" was "I don't see the appeal to the game"
06:56
<@randolph>
Unfortunately, if you didn't jump in at launch, the economy kind of went nuts
06:56
<@McMartin>
Yeah. =/
06:56
<@McMartin>
Though they'll give you free Cobalt recipes now,at least.
06:56
<@randolph>
yeah, there's a Progression now, and quests
06:56
<@randolph>
That's good
06:57
<~Noah>
Well, if they ever give me an option in video settings to disable fog, I'll play it
06:57
<@randolph>
But like, there's basically a five-to-ten-times multiplier for the amount of resources I got for the time I put in compared to people who joined later
06:57
<@randolph>
Did you try setting "compatibility mode"?
06:57
<~Noah>
Hmm, maybe?
06:57
<~Noah>
Lemme try installing it again for S&G
06:58
<@randolph>
hee
06:58
<@randolph>
Man
06:58
<@randolph>
Fine, I'll patch it. I'm supposed to be writing :P
06:59
<@randolph>
oooh
06:59
<~Noah>
Take your time, I'm on cell, so I'll take a few to download
06:59
<@randolph>
they nerfed the double-path FSC sploit
07:00
<@randolph>
there goes mah moneyz~
07:00
<@McMartin>
Hee
07:00
<@randolph>
(Well, no, JKless rush using the quest was better? Maybe?)
07:00
<@randolph>
hell I don't remember anymore after all the nerfs
07:01
<@McMartin>
It went back and forth.
07:01
<@McMartin>
For awhile it was the arena on Mission Tier 9.

07:32
<@randolph>
"ta-daaaa"
07:33
<~Noah>
Definately gotta get some 1x1 technic with hole
07:34
<+afny>
Do you folk like "Jellyfish Regiment" or "Medusa Regiment" better?
07:34
<~Noah>
s/Jellyfish/Smellyfish
07:34
<@randolph>
Noah: Just have the clipplates facing out instead of in
07:34
<@randolph>
afny: both have a ring, but Jellyfish seems less pretentious
07:34
<~Noah>
randolph: Yea, but I don't have any 3/5ths Travis bricks either
07:35
<@randolph>
how about just travis or lantern?
07:35
<~Noah>
I'm using a lantern atm
07:35
<@randolph>
so lantern: one clipplate out, one clipplate in
07:35
<~Noah>
I'll have more Travis bricks once that migrant worker gets here from Germany with Cedric's bricks
07:36
<~Noah>
randolph: That's what I have now, but it needs a 1x1 plate to make it work
07:36
<@randolph>
Ah, so this isn't "I need ANYTHING to make it work," it's "this doesn't look as good as it shoudl"
07:36
<~Noah>
And thus gives it beefy thighs
07:36
<@randolph>
*should
07:36
<@randolph>
have you considered pointing the lantern brick up/down instead?
07:37
<~Noah>
Yea, I was going to experiment with that
07:37
<@randolph>
Alternately, swap the thigh/calf (the way that joint is in my Kabuto), so you have a beefy calf/foot instead
07:38

Let's see, moving the headlight around lowers my part cost by a 1x1 plate for each leg
07:42
<~Noah>
But makes him shorter
07:44
<@randolph>
You can give him discreet lifts in his boots.
07:44
<@McMartin>
THE SECRET BOOTS.
07:45
<@randolph>
(shhh)
07:45
<~Noah>
Hehe
07:45
<~Noah>
I'm not concerned, what I have is fine until I get proper parts
07:45
<@McMartin>
... wait, I have enough 1x2 plates that I *could* give the Libra SECRET BOOTS
07:46
<@randolph>
Heheh
07:50
<+afny>
secret
07:50
<+afny>
boots?
07:50
<~Noah>
God, stilly laggy in fog, with or without compat mode
07:50
<~Noah>
If I turn it to low, the fog goes away, along with a lot of other detail that doesn't kill my FPS
07:51
<~Noah>
So now I'm just annoyed at it

The only way I can make that make sense if there's a missing C in there.
09:35
<@Ced23Ric>
McM got it.
09:36
<@Ced23Ric>
Oh.
09:36
<@Ced23Ric>
Last night.
09:36
<@Ced23Ric>
I modded those carbines.
09:37
<@Ced23Ric>
And free'd up two technic 1x1.
09:37
<@Ced23Ric>
Which made the 4th Rabbitchub possible.
09:37
<@Ced23Ric>
HUZZAH!
09:37
<@Ced23Ric>
Did you see the Flier in tan/black/lime, kev?
09:37
<+afny>
yeah, with the two missile racks?
09:38
<+afny>
did you see my finished photos?
09:38
<@Ced23Ric>
Yeah!
09:38
<@Ced23Ric>
And yes.
09:38
<@Ced23Ric>
And I think I was a happy camper.
09:38
<+afny>
until your ear became it hy.
09:38
<@Ced23Ric>
Because ZOOM ZOOM FIZZ turned into PEW PEW WOOSH.
09:39
<@Ced23Ric>
Yeah, that was annoying.
09:39
<@Ced23Ric>
Oh.
09:39
<@Ced23Ric>
Mhmm.
09:39
<@Ced23Ric>
Style question.
09:39
<@Ced23Ric>
4 Rabbits like so, 3 Rabbits like so - still acceptable? I am running put of black parts, but can substitute with dark grey.
09:40
<+afny>
yeah
09:40
<+afny>
well I'm not really the person to ask
09:40
<@Ced23Ric>
No, you are not.
09:40
<@Ced23Ric>
I just remembered, too.
09:40
<+afny>
but I think it's fine
09:40
<+afny>
even if you're going for a super uniform style
09:40
<+afny>
sometimes contrast like that can just emphasize the "uniform" look
09:41
<+afny>
two different fire teams with the same exact look except for one color swap
09:41
<@Ced23Ric>
Here's a nasty sideeffect of building Lego for almost 1.5 months now.
09:41
<@Ced23Ric>
My thumb, index finger and middle finger tips' skin is hardening.
09:41
<+afny>
hm
09:41
<+afny>
mine are fine
09:42
<+afny>
but I've probably only built half as much
09:42
<@Ced23Ric>
To the point where my thumbs are becoming so stiff, I cut into them last night.
09:42
<@Ced23Ric>
Didn't feel anything.
09:42
<@Ced23Ric>
This morning, I am just seeing the cut marks.
09:42
<+afny>
you should take up the guitar
09:42
<@Ced23Ric>
Like someone played Fruit Ninja on my left thumb!
09:42
<+afny>
now's your chance.
09:42
<@Ced23Ric>
Mhmm, maybe.
09:43
<@Ced23Ric>
LOL.
09:43
<@Ced23Ric>
Fuck my Lego existence.
09:43
<@Ced23Ric>
There are only two scenarios that allow me to finish this company.
09:44
<@Ced23Ric>
1.) kill the entertainment chub.
09:44
<@Ced23Ric>
2.) do away with the grenades.
09:44
<+afny>
just remove the taps
09:44
<+afny>
honestly I think they look better without the taps
09:44
<@Ced23Ric>
NO. :[
09:44
<@Ced23Ric>
Well, lemme see if I have 6 alternatives.
09:46
<@Ced23Ric>
Mhmm, I do.
09:46
<@Ced23Ric>
Wrenches. :D
09:46
<+afny>
closed ring?
09:46
<@Ced23Ric>
Those are holy and dark grey/black gold.
09:47
<@Ced23Ric>
The open ones.
09:51
<+afny>
I did go back and redo the laser loadout of the red frame as well
09:51
<+afny>
http://www.flickr.com/photos/kyanosmoros/7378165408/in/photostream
09:51
<+afny>
a little more conservative
09:51
<+afny>
plasma tonfas
09:51
<@Ced23Ric>
Mhmm.
09:51
<@Ced23Ric>
Preferred the conventional weaponry.
09:51
<+afny>
it's still got those
09:51
<+afny>
but the mech it's based on uses these like
09:51
<+afny>
LASER STICKS
09:51
<+afny>
as both long range and short range attacks
09:52
<+afny>
so I had to do make these
09:52
<+afny>
in the actual company it'll still use DF DF
09:52
<+afny>
with missiles and GUN
09:54
<+afny>
I just made this like
09:54
<+afny>
giant robot dog/samurai head
09:54
<+afny>
out of tablescraps
09:54
<+afny>
and it's got a neck attachment
09:54
<+afny>
soooort of want to make it into a full size build
09:54
<@Ced23Ric>
Man, everytime I bite on Lego, I gotta think of Danni.
09:54
<+afny>
but I've never built anything articulated at a larger scale
09:54
<+afny>
why, does he bite lego
09:54
<+afny>
don't bite lego
09:55
<+afny>
get a brick separator
09:55
<@Ced23Ric>
Because he insists this Lego was owned by kids before that suffered from prepubescent spray poo.
09:55
<@Ced23Ric>
And hence, he'd never bite it.
09:55
<@Ced23Ric>
And yes.
09:55
<+afny>
because he thinks they shat on it?
09:55
<@Ced23Ric>
That is a literal translation.
09:55
<@Ced23Ric>
No.
09:55
<@Ced23Ric>
SPRAY POO'ed.
09:55
<+afny>
...like from a can?
09:56
<@Ced23Ric>
Like from one's ass.
09:56
<@Ced23Ric>
It's sharting with a lot of pressure.
09:56
<@Ced23Ric>
Oh, hey, Kev.
09:56
<+afny>
whut
09:56
<@Ced23Ric>
I have 4 specialist's weapons and 3 regular assault rifles.
09:56
<@Ced23Ric>
Which works out with my 4 / 3 colour split.
09:57
<@Ced23Ric>
Makes 'em easier to distinguish, too.
09:57
<+afny>
yeeah specialists
09:57
<@Ced23Ric>
I'll give the regulars the SSRs.
09:57
<@Ced23Ric>
AH FUCK.
09:57
<@Ced23Ric>
I think I am out of dishes.
09:57
<@Ced23Ric>
And I need fucking 18 of those.
09:57
<+afny>
where?
09:57
<@Ced23Ric>
2 on each ankle, 1 in each shoulder.
09:58
<+afny>
oh, on the INSIDE of the shoulder?
09:58
<@Ced23Ric>
Yeah.
09:58
<+afny>
do you need it for the shape or do you just need a bushing?
09:58
<@Ced23Ric>
Both.
09:58
<+afny>
it's extremely ghetto but I used close wrenches for bushings
09:58
<+afny>
on my slammer
09:58
<+afny>
it doesn't help the shape, though
09:58
<@Ced23Ric>
Yeah, uhm ...
09:58
<@Ced23Ric>
I'll hunt down dishes.
09:59
<@Ced23Ric>
Got 2 from the Flier.
09:59
<@Ced23Ric>
He don't need them.
10:00
<@Ced23Ric>
4 from the entertainment chub.
10:00
<@Ced23Ric>
12 to go.
10:02
<+afny>
if you can't find enough, you could do an alternate outside ankle
10:04
<@Ced23Ric>
Ha!
10:04
<@Ced23Ric>
My dishes are all in use.
10:04
<@Ced23Ric>
:D
10:04
<+afny>
just do something else
10:04
<+afny>
that streamlined look isn't 100% desert merc anyway
10:04
<@Ced23Ric>
Okay, got 10 from the stations, 1 from the Naga, 1 from the Serpent Heavy Scrambler.
10:04
<+afny>
oh
10:05
<+afny>
TEN from stations
10:05
<@Ced23Ric>
Yupp.
10:05
<+afny>
I forgot you greebled a billion stations to death
10:05
<@Ced23Ric>
That I did.
10:05
<@Ced23Ric>
36 Travis bricks in this company.
10:06
<+afny>
madness
10:06
<@randolph>
Yes, but does it have SLOPES
10:07
<@randolph>
CONSUMATE SLOPES
10:09
<@Ced23Ric>
Of course.
10:09
<@Ced23Ric>
No, just 4 per 'frame.
10:10
<@randolph>
I don't mean cheese slopes, son! I mean slopes for a man! Curvy slopes! Womanly slopes!
10:10
<@randolph>
... okay, I'm tired and there's a loud yelling sergeant in my head
10:10
<@randolph>
I'm gonna go to bed
10:10
<@randolph>
nn
10:11
<+afny>
o/
10:11
<@Ced23Ric>
Night Randy. :D
10:12
<@Ced23Ric>
I need heads. Boo.
10:31
<@Ced23Ric>
3x Rumble heads.
10:31
<@Ced23Ric>
That'll do it for the line soldiers.
10:43
<+afny>
I keep thinking I'll find more rock raiders helmets in my bin
10:43
<+afny>
but I don't
10:43
<@Ced23Ric>
Which ones are those?
10:43
<+afny>
the rumble monkey helmet with no chin
10:43
<@Ced23Ric>
Ah.
10:43
<@Ced23Ric>
I have two of those.
10:43
<@Ced23Ric>
Guess what color.
10:44
<+afny>
LIME GREEN
10:44
<@Ced23Ric>
Yah. :D
10:44
<@Ced23Ric>
Oh, you sly dog.
10:44
<@Ced23Ric>
You remember.
10:45
<+afny>
they don't think it be like it is, but it do.
10:45
<@Ced23Ric>
Curse you and your intelligmagencerance.
10:56
<@Ced23Ric>
I am actually pretty proud.
10:56
<@Ced23Ric>
That at the end of my parts, there is another coherent company.
11:07
<@Ced23Ric>
Mhmm, coffee is a good idea.
11:12
<+afny>
yeah, it's a good feeling
11:12
<@Ced23Ric>
Hey.
11:12
<@Ced23Ric>
Because no one barely said anything.
11:12
<@Ced23Ric>
But you know.
11:12
<@Ced23Ric>
Isn't that carbine spiffy? :(
11:13
<@Ced23Ric>
http://www.ced23ric.de/stuff/mf0/rabbit_g3.png
11:20
<+afny>
tactical as balls
11:20
<@Ced23Ric>
YAY
11:21
<+afny>
do you have lots of them?
11:21
<+afny>
like 4?
11:21
<@Ced23Ric>
Only 2.
11:21
<+afny>
you could vary the barrel on ne
11:21
<+afny>
+o
11:21
<@Ced23Ric>
2 of those, 3 of the long rifles, 1 sniper + pistol, 1 bazooka + pistol.
11:22
<@Ced23Ric>
The 5 riflemen get grenades, too.
11:22
<+afny>
FIVE
11:22
<+afny>
that's cheating
11:22
<+afny>
you're cheating
11:22
<@Ced23Ric>
How?
11:23
<+afny>
Oh, are your grenades
11:23
<+afny>
NOT ssrs?
11:23
<@Ced23Ric>
No.
11:23
<+afny>
are they anything?
11:23
<@Ced23Ric>
SSRs are shoulder mounted on the long rifles.
11:23
<@Ced23Ric>
No.
11:23
<@Ced23Ric>
I dunno.
11:23
<@Ced23Ric>
Flashbangs? Smoke grenades?
11:23
<@Ced23Ric>
Doesn't matter, had tactics.
11:23
<+afny>
yeah, could be B
11:24
<@Ced23Ric>
Things I am again completely out of: black and dark grey clip tiles.
11:24
<@Ced23Ric>
These fuckers use 10 per.
11:25
<+afny>
aren't you getting some from randy?
11:25
<@Ced23Ric>
In a month, yeah. :D
11:25
<+afny>
ah
11:25
<@Ced23Ric>
Meh, I am not concerned.
11:25
<@Ced23Ric>
I won't need them.
11:25
<@Ced23Ric>
Like, pressingly need them.
11:26
<@Ced23Ric>
Still.
11:26
<@Ced23Ric>
I have 5 companies of 8 here.
11:26
<@Ced23Ric>
All color-coded and sensical.
11:26
<+afny>
I've got...
11:26
<@Ced23Ric>
That's pretty good.
11:27
<+afny>
two of 8 that are extremely sensical
11:27
<+afny>
though only one of them is color coded
11:27
<+afny>
one of like...11 that makes very little sense, but IS color coded
11:27
<@Ced23Ric>
Yay. :D
11:27
<+afny>
and one of 6, which isn't color coded, and only makes sense in its own little word.
11:27
<@Ced23Ric>
I guess I played WH40k for too long.
11:28
<+afny>
Well I do appreciate color coding, but I think having a good color palette is more important
11:28
<+afny>
than each unit having the same colors
11:28
<@Ced23Ric>
Well, here's my reasoning.
11:28
<@Ced23Ric>
On the field, I want to be able to with one look see who's team he is on.
11:28
<+afny>
Yeah, exactly
11:28
<@Ced23Ric>
If there is 3 grey/blue/red/yellows, I get lost.
11:28
<+afny>
I mean I went back and altered one of my companies a ton because of that
11:29
<+afny>
mostly because if I do a demo with my own frames
11:29
<@Ced23Ric>
Yeah, exactly. :D
11:29
<@Ced23Ric>
Oh.
11:29
<+afny>
I need people who just walk by and seem interested to be able to look and see
11:29
<@Ced23Ric>
Didya get to play a game yet?
11:29
<+afny>
hey, that team is winning
11:29
<+afny>
e
11:29
<+afny>
nope :|
11:29
<@Ced23Ric>
Mothertrucker.
11:29
<@Ced23Ric>
It's fun.
11:29
<@Ced23Ric>
And confusing at first.
11:29
<@Ced23Ric>
But Danni and I, we are at this point.
11:29
<@Ced23Ric>
* :
11:29
<+afny>
I've tried to keep track of some of the draft corrections
11:30
<+afny>
I'm not sure if my friend who is interested has built any frames yet, I should call him
11:30
<@Ced23Ric>
"Big Gun, your Arty in cover, SSR." - "Here are your dice." - "Wild 5 goes Spot, Wild 6 goes Def, DMG is 7 + 4 Spot from before, against 3 DEF, is 8 DMG rolls." - "Here are your dice" - "3 hits cover, 2 hits frame." - "Drop Y Y."
11:31
<@Ced23Ric>
So, yeah, we're getting the hang of it.
11:31
<+afny>
Do you use the mfz diceroller website?
11:31
<+afny>
or do you actually have a fuck ton of dice
11:31
<@Ced23Ric>
Fuck no, we have three long time D&D players/GMs in this appartement.
11:31
<+afny>
Oh god, three GMs
11:31
<@Ced23Ric>
Well, 2 GMs.
11:32
<@Ced23Ric>
Danni only played.
11:32
<@Ced23Ric>
But Jan and I, we GM(ed).
11:32
<+afny>
Ah, okay. That explains why you haven't murdered eachother.
11:32
<@Ced23Ric>
Huh? Nah, we would never. Whoever is GM is boss. :d
11:32
<@Ced23Ric>
We never question the authority. We're Germans. ^^
11:32
<+afny>
It's a lot more mercenary here.
11:33
<@Ced23Ric>
Well, we're not Hack & Slay GMs.
11:33
<@Ced23Ric>
We played entire campaigns completey outside the rulebook's scope.
11:33
<@Ced23Ric>
Castle Tycoon in Comryr. :D
11:33
<+afny>
Heh
11:34
<@Ced23Ric>
Jan does mostly Forgotten Realms.
11:34
<+afny>
I just think of DMs as being unwilling to bend from their own style, whatever that style is
11:34
<@Ced23Ric>
I do D20 Modern.
11:34
<@Ced23Ric>
So we don't even poach in each other's trerritories.
11:34
<@Ced23Ric>
-r
11:34
<@Ced23Ric>
FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK.
11:35
<@Ced23Ric>
Mother of a CUNT.
11:35
<@Ced23Ric>
I miscounted my T pieces.
11:35
<@Ced23Ric>
I am 11 short.
11:35
<+afny>
that'salot
11:35 * Ced23Ric looks to his left.
11:35
<@Ced23Ric>
THere's a MINX and the Fiddler.
11:35
<@Ced23Ric>
7 + 4.
11:35
<@Ced23Ric>
7 + 6, actually.
11:35 * Ced23Ric proceeds to gut them.
11:36
<@Ced23Ric>
... dafuq.
11:36
<@Ced23Ric>
This Fiddler has like 12 black clip tiles.
11:36
<+afny>
I thought the fiddler was tiny
11:37
<@Ced23Ric>
Compares to a MINX.
11:38
<@Ced23Ric>
Im getting 50 new T pieces next week.
11:39
<@Ced23Ric>
But I just hate running out in the middle of building.
11:45
<+afny>
ff
11:45
<+afny>
my cursor keeps disappearing
11:46
<@Ced23Ric>
Wanders off-screen?
11:46
<@Ced23Ric>
Or becomes invisible?
11:47
<+afny>
becomes invisible
11:47
<@Ced23Ric>
WTF.
11:47
<+afny>
Yeah.
11:48
<@Ced23Ric>
You should probaby get that checked out.
11:48
<@Ced23Ric>
Ask an expert.
11:48
<@Ced23Ric>
Or use google.
11:48
<@Ced23Ric>
Same thing.
11:48
<+afny>
I just ignored it
11:48
<+afny>
I WILL CONTINUE TO DO THAT until it becomes a crippling problem.
11:49
<@Ced23Ric>
When does it come back?
11:49
<+afny>
it seems to be working fine now, but I could get it to come back after like 9 clicks
11:49
<@Ced23Ric>
O_o
11:49
<+afny>
it was weird because it would still highlight things normally
11:49
<+afny>
it wasn't just like I had no manipulation
11:49
<@Ced23Ric>
Ah.
11:49
<@Ced23Ric>
Might be heat @ GFX card.
11:50
<+afny>
time to get a laptop cooler
11:50
<+afny>
IE set my laptop on a giant fan
11:50
<@Ced23Ric>
Is your laptop hot?
11:50
<+afny>
no
11:50
<@Ced23Ric>
Mhmm.
11:50
<+afny>
not particularly
11:50
<@Ced23Ric>
The GFX bay is fine?
11:51
<+afny>
If by that you mean the plastic shell of the macbook hasn't melted through in any particular place
11:51
<+afny>
then yes,
11:51
<+afny>
it's fine.
11:51
<@Ced23Ric>
:D
11:51
<@Ced23Ric>
Dude, lemme tell you a story about bays.
11:51
<@Ced23Ric>
So, as you may or may not know, servers have their HDD bays open and to the front.
11:51
<@Ced23Ric>
So you can rip HDDs out and slam new ones in.
11:51
<@Ced23Ric>
Hotplug/Hotswap.
11:52
<@Ced23Ric>
Anyway.
11:52
<@Ced23Ric>
One of our servers gave off an alarm, that one of his two (mirrored) HDDs had read errors.
11:52
<@Ced23Ric>
Harddisk0_0 in Bay 1.
11:53
<@Ced23Ric>
So we got a new HDD, but when it came in, the guy who ordered the HDD was sick.
11:53
<@Ced23Ric>
So his substitute looked at the HDD and me and went: "Mhmm. Where's Bay 1?"
11:53
<@Ced23Ric>
"Left to right, top to bottom. It's an American-made server."
11:53
<@Ced23Ric>
"Are you sure?"
11:53
<@Ced23Ric>
"97% - and only because I didn't walk over and look again."
11:54
<@Ced23Ric>
"Mhmm. That's not sure enough."
11:54
<@Ced23Ric>
"You could walk over and look for yourself."
11:54
<@Ced23Ric>
So he goes into the serverroom which is next door, and comes back.
11:54
<@Ced23Ric>
"Not sure. Not sure at all."
11:54
<@Ced23Ric>
"BAY ONE. LEFT MOST BAY."
11:54
<+afny>
You're blowing my mind here
11:55
<+afny>
how ELSE
11:55
<+afny>
would people order it
11:55
<@Ced23Ric>
"I shall seek out the knowledge of the stars and the elder gods, open the tomes on knowledge!" (quote may be altered for drama)
11:55
<+afny>
Right to left if it was Japanese, I suppose
11:55
<@Ced23Ric>
So he downloads manuals.
11:55
<@Ced23Ric>
And reads those.
11:55
<@Ced23Ric>
"OMG, THEY HAVE BAY 1, 2, 3, 4 AND UP TOP, BAY 5 AND 6!"
11:55
<@Ced23Ric>
Insert sweat pearls and wild terror here.
11:55
<+afny>
What
11:55
<+afny>
that doesn't
11:55
<+afny>
MAKE ANY SENSE
11:56
<@Ced23Ric>
"Okay, you see how we only have the bottom row? So, 1, 2, 3 and 4? 5 and 6 are blinded."
11:56
<@Ced23Ric>
"BUT WHAT IF THAT CHANGED THE ORDER."
11:56
<@Ced23Ric>
"To what, 3, 2, 4 and 1?"
11:56
<@Ced23Ric>
"I DON'T KNOW."
11:56
<@Ced23Ric>
"Okay, lemme go OVER and look myself."
11:56
<@Ced23Ric>
So I go into the server room, up to the rack.
11:56
<@Ced23Ric>
And LO AND BEHOLD.
11:56
<@Ced23Ric>
It's 1, 2, 3 and 4.
11:56
<@Ced23Ric>
PRINTED on EACH BAY.
11:57
<@Ced23Ric>
I facepalm my nose into my frontal lobes and go back.
11:57
<@Ced23Ric>
"It's printed on the bays."
11:57
<@Ced23Ric>
"Is it?"
11:57
<@Ced23Ric>
"Yes, unless 1, 2, 3 and 4 close a HDD Bay are meant as a really easy to memorize ZIP code of Eastern Germany."
11:57
<@Ced23Ric>
He gives me a blank stare.
11:57
<@Ced23Ric>
"Bay 1 is on the left."
11:57
<@Ced23Ric>
"Okay."
11:58
<@Ced23Ric>
And proceeds to swap the HDD.
11:58
<@Ced23Ric>
When he started to read up manuals of the entrie series, I almost lost it. But hey, it wasn't my task, so I chilled out and switched some printers instead. :D
11:59
<@Ced23Ric>
Went for a smoke, fixed some user accounts, helped a remote connected employee ... and he was still reading manuals.
11:59
<+afny>
maybe he just likes manuals
11:59
<@Ced23Ric>
I was legitimately amazed.
11:59
<@Ced23Ric>
Bay One. Left to right.
11:59
<@Ced23Ric>
We are not in Arabia.
11:59
<@Ced23Ric>
This is not an Arabian make.
12:00
<@Ced23Ric>
Arabia does R2L.
12:00
<@Ced23Ric>
We don't.
12:00
<@Ced23Ric>
Okay, 12 legs done.
12:00 * Ced23Ric sighs.
12:01
<@Ced23Ric>
Time for more coffee.
12:03
<@Ced23Ric>
HAHAHAHAHA.
12:03
<@Ced23Ric>
I'mma cry.
12:03
<@Ced23Ric>
I just trolled myself so hard.
12:03
<@Ced23Ric>
This is beyond funny.
12:03
<+afny>
You drank drain cleaner.
12:03
<@Ced23Ric>
Almost, but no.
12:03
<@Ced23Ric>
See, I got the entire upper body done.
12:03
<@Ced23Ric>
And the entire leg.
12:03
<@Ced23Ric>
And I wanted to attach them.
12:04
<@Ced23Ric>
And looked at the empty clip tile and the open stud of the Travis brick.
12:04
<@Ced23Ric>
And the empty work area.
12:04
<@Ced23Ric>
And at 6 'frames.
12:05
<+afny>
I thought you already knew
12:05
<+afny>
this was the case
12:05
<@Ced23Ric>
Well.
12:05
<@Ced23Ric>
I ... thoguht 4 taps each was enough.
12:05
<@Ced23Ric>
Forgot about the hips.
12:05
<+afny>
time to...USE STOCK CHUB ARMS
12:06
<@Ced23Ric>
WHAT NEVER.
12:06
<@Ced23Ric>
It's time to canibalize.
12:07
<@Ced23Ric>
Alright.
12:07
<@Ced23Ric>
12 taps.
12:07
<@Ced23Ric>
6 black, 6 light grey.
12:08
<@Ced23Ric>
I can get 4 light greys out of the entertainment chub.
12:08
<@Ced23Ric>
And give him whites.
12:10
<@Ced23Ric>
Tough.
12:10
<@Ced23Ric>
The flier, with white taps..?
12:10
<+afny>
ehh
12:10
<+afny>
that sounds bad
12:10
<@Ced23Ric>
Well.
12:10
<@Ced23Ric>
I need those taps. :D
12:11
<+afny>
this company is cannibalizing itself
12:11
<@Ced23Ric>
Pretty much.
12:15
<@Ced23Ric>

I broke down 8 'frames last night around 6pm.
15:11

MAKE IT STOP MAKE IT STOP!!
15:11
<@Ced23Ric>
Worked on them until 5:30am.
15:11

Oh frames... those are cool too.
15:11
<@Ced23Ric>
By that time, I had 2 'frames done.
15:11
<@Ced23Ric>
And weapons for all of them.
15:11
<+CaGeRit>
WEll, lets see em.
15:11
<@Ced23Ric>
And I prepped the 6 others.
15:11
<@Ced23Ric>
Gimme a sec.
15:11
<@Ced23Ric>
These guys are operator as FUCK.
15:11
<+CaGeRit>
I do not know what that means, but it sounds cool.
15:12
<@Ced23Ric>
Well, "operator" is a term for someone using equioment, really.
15:12
<@Ced23Ric>
But it has become a term to describe a military dude that uses uber-tacticool weapons.
15:12
<+CaGeRit>
Ahh.
15:12
<@Ced23Ric>
Foregrip, laser designator, silencer, holo sight, all the bells and whistles.
15:12
<@Ced23Ric>
And ... I did that.
15:13
<@Ced23Ric>
These guys have probably the best Lego weapons I ever made. :D

Nothing spectacular, a lot of geebles and SNOT plates

17:00
<+FerrelFerret>
Trans-orange flames
17:01

smooth tires
17:01

That's always good.
21:05
