Hey.
03:47
<+ferrelferret_phone>
I was thinking about posting something on your campaign thread.
03:47
<+ferrelferret_phone>
But since you are here...
03:47
<@randolph>
hehe
03:48
<@randolph>
well, I mean if you just want to toss ideas around, sure, but if you think others would appreciate it, post instead
03:48
<+ferrelferret_phone>
Blue dice are not always armor. ;)
03:49
<@randolph>
Definitely, but I wanted to make simplified, iconic resources
03:49
<@randolph>
I don't want to go into the realms of madness where you have a periodic table cross referenced with percentile inclusion in various subsystems~
03:49
<+ferrelferret_phone>
I'll post when I get home.

Next time I do a PbP, I'm picking a more talkative character :x
03:51

Mine's not super talkative either. Socially award and all that.
03:52
<+ferrelferret_phone>
I'm trying to get Ced to spill that good, good secret info he got from his roll. :)

<+FerrelFerret>
Mo I have not
04:54
<+FerrelFerret>
No

k
05:05
<@randolph>
Are you planning to buy stuff off bricklink or some other source to feed your building?
05:05
<@randolph>
And is bricklink "all the way" back yet?
05:12
<+FerrelFerret>
I'm going to break down and use bricklink.
05:12
<@randolph>
hehe
05:12
<+FerrelFerret>
I haven't been on there in a while, so i didn't know it was down
05:13
<+FerrelFerret>
there bricklink shop here locally that will actually meet up with you.
05:13
<@randolph>
oh
05:13
<@randolph>
interesting
05:13
<@randolph>
There's a shop like 5 minutes from me, but it'd feel weird to call her
05:13
<+FerrelFerret>
yeah. Guy at the LEGO store told me that last week
05:14
<@randolph>
I've visited my PAB walls way too often
05:16
<+FerrelFerret>
Last week was the first time I've ever been to a LEGO store
05:19
<+FerrelFerret>
do you know the number of the hinge plate that zizy uses for arms and legs?
05:21
<@randolph>
hm
05:21
<@randolph>
give me a link?

05:40
<@randolph>
They also have light bley, dark bley, and chrome
05:40
<@randolph>
I bought a bunch of chrome ones cheap to make microrails
05:40
<+FerrelFerret>
to bad they are $1.089
05:40
<~maoranma>
Yea, I think they use them in something else?
05:40
<@randolph>
(lightsabers)

I'm stumped
05:47
<@randolph>
I can't figure out how the blue hip headlight connects to the 1x??? dark bley plate under it
05:48
<@randolph>
Or what the light bley cliptile is clipped to that's between that dark blue hip headlight and the lower leg thruster
05:51
<+FerrelFerret>
http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=2540
05:51
<+FerrelFerret>
this?
05:52
<@randolph>
hm
05:52
<@randolph>
trying it
05:53
<@randolph>
Woo, thanks!
05:53
<+FerrelFerret>
It worked with the headlight when i tryed it
05:53
<+FerrelFerret>
but not really a tight fit
05:53
<@randolph>
I kept thinking it was some weird handlebar
05:53
<@randolph>
thanks dude
05:53
<+FerrelFerret>
np
05:53
<+FerrelFerret>
sometimes you just need a new pair of eyes

06:02
< afny>
o/
06:02
<@randolph>
Oh good
06:02
<@randolph>
hey afny, can you give me a breakdown for the orbital guard legs?
06:02
< afny>
jah
06:02
<@randolph>
because Ferret just clued me in on using the 1x2 barplate
06:02
<@randolph>
but...
06:03
<@randolph>
there's no way that 1x2 + 1x2 hinge plate can go on there at that angle
06:03
< afny>
okay, so
06:03
< afny>
the first part is to make the leg, that big thigh booster
06:03
< afny>
don't worry about that at first
06:03
<@randolph>
Ok for booster I go:
06:03
<@randolph>
travis + rotated headlight + 1x2 barplate + backwards headlight
06:03
<@randolph>
that good so far?
06:03
< afny>
yea
06:04
< afny>
(I couldn't make those since I didn't have travis
06:04
<@randolph>
ok then on the outside of the thigh, 1x2 plate + 1x4 tile
06:04
< afny>
yea
06:04
< afny>
and then the leg
06:04
< afny>
one leg is a 1x2 bar plate
06:04
< afny>
two hinge plates attached on opposite sides of the back stud of that bar plate
06:04
<@randolph>
right
06:04
< afny>
and the other stud left open
06:04
<@randolph>
right
06:04
<@randolph>
got that so far
06:05
< afny>
and then you just wedge a right angle 1x3 plate
06:05
<@randolph>
then an L 1x2x2
06:05
<@randolph>
yeah
06:05
<@randolph>
then a toothplate an a 1x2
06:05
< afny>
okay, and then the rest is just detail
06:05
<@randolph>
Oh
06:05
<@randolph>
So I have it, I just need to ... force it into place?
06:05
< afny>
what part are you confused about? you've got the skeleton down it seems
06:05
< afny>
hm, what angle are you having trouble with?
06:05
<@randolph>
The hip doesn't hang right
06:05
< afny>
uh
06:06
< afny>
is it a problem with the leg ATTACHMENT?
06:06
<@randolph>
I'll twist it I guess. This isn't the stumper though, I had a ton of trouble until Ferret pointed out that barplate
06:06
<@randolph>
bar plate + cliptile + 1x1 round -> that ring?
06:06
<@randolph>
that nut ring?
06:06
< afny>
yea
06:06
<@randolph>
ok
06:06
< afny>
...nut ring
06:06
< afny>
heh
06:06
<@randolph>
That join is flimsy as fuck btw
06:06
<@randolph>
I think I need to replace the 1x1 rounds or the ringplate
06:06
< afny>
yeah, sadly my old legs were much sturdier
06:06
<@randolph>
ooh
06:06
< afny>
but i'd rather have bad breaking points in the legs
06:06
< afny>
than on the chest
06:06
<@randolph>
hm
06:07
<@randolph>
I bet we can do better
06:07
<@randolph>
run a lightsaber bar through the ring, use travis/headlights, build down
06:07
<@randolph>
or use two taps/pneumatic Ts
06:08
<@randolph>
Or... use a jumper off the chest ringplate instead of a leg ringplate, and mount a 1x2 bar plate and hang the hips on that
06:08
<@randolph>
Or just use a 1/2 travis there, studs L and R
06:08
< afny>
sorry, getting tea
06:09
< afny>
yeah, a studier connection would just be a 3way stud or two of those connected to the back of the chest
06:09
< afny>
and tile clips on the sides of that
06:09
< afny>
and you could even fasten the backs of them with a 1x2 plate
06:10
< afny>
I'm not too dissatisfied with the legs, though
06:10
< afny>
I just wish I had 5ways for the boosters, because right now my 1x4 tiles are just attached via one 1x1 plate on the top of the back headlight
06:10
< afny>
and they fall off all the time
06:11
<@randolph>
got a motor?
06:11
<@randolph>
or two
06:11
< afny>
yeah, but I'm afraid that'll look goofy as fuck
06:11
<@randolph>
can't tell til you try
06:11
< afny>
hm
06:11
< afny>
I think I'm going to do different thigh boosters for the Weaver
06:12
< afny>
I have these two sand green slopes that I want to use somehow
06:12
< afny>
orange, red, black, and sand green
06:12
< afny>
AWWW yeah
06:12
<@randolph>
I wanna get this done ASAP and post it
06:12
<@randolph>
It's so sexy
06:12

I made a bigass pommeled sword
06:15
< afny>
haha so my sister just yelled for me
06:16
< afny>
she's watching TV out in the other room
06:16
< afny>
and I go out there, and she tells me that there's a giant house centipede near the trim on the doorway

and that she can't go through the door

06:20
<+FerrelFerret>
what is the number of the 4x4 brick that was normally for plane bottoms
06:20

DaFUQ.
06:20
<+FerrelFerret>
I need to build some stations
06:20
<@Ced23Ric>
"I just can't handle all of these responses to my frames :V It's just overwhelming."
06:20
<@Ced23Ric>
Because he didn't get an answer within the hour?
06:20
< afny>
I tried those motor thighs randolph
06:20
<@randolph>
yeah?>
06:20
< afny>
it isn't HORRIBLE, but the proportions are weird
06:20
< afny>
and there's a big vent sticking out the back
06:20
<@Ced23Ric>
FF: Plane bottoms?
06:21
<@randolph>
hum
06:21
< afny>
like in Soren's Ijad yurt, probably
06:21
< afny>
but I don't know the number
06:21
< afny>
they're slopes
06:22
< afny>
the other thing is, randolph
06:22
< afny>
if you use just a motor and not a headlight/motor (in place of headlight/travis)
06:22
< afny>
you lose some clearance on the bar plate for leg rotation
06:22
< afny>
because of the downward facing stud of the motor
06:22
< afny>
if not for that it would probably look good enough to use
06:23
<@randolph>
hm, darn
06:23
< afny>
well
06:23
< afny>
hm
06:23
< afny>
it's not much
06:23
< afny>
I dont know, I think most of the problem here is that these motors
06:23
< afny>
are bright blue
06:23
<+FerrelFerret>
ah ha!
06:23
<@Ced23Ric>
Oh, a 4x4 slope, then. Or a wedge.

There is a difference between optimizing your shifts & drifts while racing and just strapping rocket engines to the flanks of your car.
06:27

we have to go through the whole. It's an attack based game that is meant to move quickly...
06:27

ohhh man, I think ... I almost felt something
06:27
<@randolph>
tell me more about the rocket booster

to be honest the guy who was going on about LOS

Eh, he's actually ex-mil
06:29

I'm not terribly bugged
06:29

the thing that bugged me wasn't that
06:29
< afny>
he was concerned about LOS
06:29
<@randolph>
After awhile, I'll have enough walls of text I can make a faq
06:29

it's that he didn't see that it already WAS in the game

There's a term we use in Germany for ExMil.

Soren has ALMOST used that design in a "canon" company

it was gonna be an Ijad

Hey afny, check out the chrome vectored thrusters on the back
06:56
< afny>
yeah, I saw those
06:56
< afny>
is that the new silver?
06:56
<@randolph>
uh, dunno
06:56
<@randolph>
it's listed as "chrome silver" in blink
06:56
< afny>
ced sent me two "pearl silver" slopes
06:56
< afny>
must be similar but darker
06:57
< afny>
the only thing I think you should add
06:57
<@randolph>
k?
06:57
< afny>
is something to the back of the thigh thrusters
06:57
< afny>
I would say a tooth plate but you're out of those
06:57
<@randolph>
I have more
06:57
< afny>
oh
06:57
<@randolph>
just not in black
06:57
< afny>
hm
06:57
<@randolph>
I can get more in black
06:57
< afny>
well anything to cover the travis studs
06:57
<@randolph>
I just need to cannibalize
06:57
<@randolph>
Oh shit, heh
06:57
<@randolph>
I missed the fact that he had jumpers there
06:58
<@randolph>
Was too excited to post something that wasn't a joke or a technoorganic organism <_<
06:58
< afny>
heh
06:59
< afny>
I dunno, I'm on the other side of the spectrum
06:59
< afny>
that frame is probably the most outside the realm of possibility for the lore
06:59
< afny>
that I've built
06:59
< afny>
I mean, I only have one original design in any of my companies, the rest are just modded Soren or Malcolm Craig stuff
06:59
< afny>
but they're all like, shitty refits or "custom" frames that are actually structurally weaker than stock models (in lore)
07:00
<@randolph>
Well, I mean, you've seen my body of work <_<
07:00
<@randolph>
And I *still* managed to sneak in 3 1x4 slopes
07:00
< afny>
I really like the aesthetic you've got, I think it just needs a bit of whittling to get it into the lore
07:00
<@randolph>
nog
07:00
< afny>
to be honest
07:01
< afny>
I guess the first time I thought this was when I heard your company name for those frilled lizards
07:01
< afny>
but your stuff reminds me of Infinidim Enterprises
07:01
<@randolph>
Never heard of them.... googling
07:01

wait!
07:01
< afny>
it's a hitchhikers spoiler
07:01

don't do it
07:01
< afny>
DON'T DO IT!

ok

Well, it's only a spoiler if you read into it I guess
07:02
<@randolph>
It's the last book, isn't it? the Other Author
07:02
< afny>
nope, it's from Mostly Harmless
07:02

the last one by Adams
07:02
<@randolph>
With the Mk 2?
07:02
<@randolph>
I read that.
07:02
<@randolph>
Once
07:02
< afny>
Ah
07:02
<@randolph>
I didn't care much for it
07:02
< afny>
It's really sad
07:02
< afny>
I dunno, I love it but I read at a time when I was receptive to that sort of thing
07:02
< afny>
anyway, it's the dummy corp controlled by the Vogons
07:02
<@randolph>
Hm.

07:03

And the completion of the Stavromulus Beta prophecy
07:03
< afny>
Yeah
07:03
< afny>
Might just be the ZZ sector
07:03
<@randolph>
K, we're on the same page, the corp just never stuck in my mind
07:04
<@randolph>
Gray vogons instead of green, that stuck
07:04
<@randolph>
the reversed causality Q&A test, that stuck
07:04
< afny>
Well anyway, I don't really know anything about your setting (haven't read Exit Strategy yet)
07:04
<@randolph>
Ooh
07:04
<@randolph>
It's short, and it's done
07:04
< afny>
But I think a sort of mad science backed by bureaucracy could make some cool frames
07:04
< afny>
that fit the setting
07:04
< afny>
I'll check it out eventually
07:05
<@randolph>
cool
07:05
<@randolph>
if you do, lemme know what you think
07:05
<@randolph>
and be brutally honest
07:05
< afny>
I spent a lot of time working as a writing tutor
07:05
<@randolph>
awesome
07:05
< afny>
and a lot of time around aspiring "creative writers"
07:05
< afny>
no, it sucked
07:05
<@randolph>
No, I mean, for me
07:05
< afny>
so I'm just sort of burnt out on reading other people's stuff
07:06
<@randolph>
Well ok, maybe not~
07:06
< afny>
but like, not if they're actually looking to improve
07:06
< afny>
I mean like, I actually enjoy reading for content/criticism
07:06
< afny>
but the problem is, at least when people in school were giving me stuff to read all the time
07:06

You just don't like dicking around with prima donnas

I'm not loving the feet - they do a lot to imply, but I want something a bit more substantial
07:14
< afny>
You could always just bulk it up until it looks like this http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20120307181040/gundam/images/5/51/Rx-78gp0 2a.jpg
07:15
<@randolph>
snerk
07:15
<@randolph>
I guess I'd do that and retain articulation by adding a first sandwich of 1x1 rounds?
07:16
< afny>
a waht
07:16
<@randolph>
then building out the foot and adding a toe 2 out?
07:16
< afny>
what*
07:16
<@randolph>
round - L plate - round
07:16
<@randolph>
in the toe
07:16
<@randolph>
instead of toothplate and 1x2
07:16
< afny>
ummm
07:16
< afny>
you mean rounds on the tip of the L plate?
07:16
< afny>
to make them wider horizntally?
07:16
< afny>
+o
07:17
<@randolph>
yeah, widen them but also allow extension to add bulk
07:17
<@randolph>
if I just build straight off the L, then it loses articulation
07:17
<@randolph>
alternately, I replace the feet entirely
07:17
<@randolph>
swap the L with a clip plate into T bar or tap
07:17
<@randolph>
... which isn't a bad idea
07:18
< afny>
you could also just put the clip plates ON the lplate
07:18
< afny>
two of them in matching orientation into a T
07:18
<@randolph>
Hm
07:18
<@randolph>
Then why have the L plate?
07:18
< afny>
just for the angle and length
07:18
< afny>
depends how much you want to build off the T
07:19
<@randolph>
I was hoping to replace the L with a "traditional" joint so that the foot would move off of that instead
07:19
<@randolph>
I'unno, there's a lot of room here to experiment, this is one of those frames with a lot of promise
07:34
<@randolph>
afny still there?
07:34
< afny>
yea
07:35
<@randolph>
you mentioned campaign rules
07:35

oh, I haven't read that yet

Heya Cj.
09:13
< CalaveraJoe>
Hola
09:13
< CalaveraJoe>
Man... I need to get some pics taken
09:14
<@randolph>
Hey CJ
09:14
<@randolph>
I visited Downtown Disney again
09:14
< CalaveraJoe>
I built me a sweet sweet Minx in red, dbley, and black, as well as a goofy ass Ijad obelisk
09:14
< CalaveraJoe>
ALSO, BIG ass tackle box full of LEGO
09:14
<@randolph>
They have bamboo
09:14
< CalaveraJoe>
Oooo
09:14
<@randolph>
And profile 1x2 bricks
09:15
< CalaveraJoe>
I got a $50 LEGO gift cert as a combo bday/dad day present
09:15
< CalaveraJoe>
Also, one of these: http://www.flambeauoutdoors.com/fishing/default.asp?p=Details&c=FRESH+AND+SALT+W ATER&s=FRONTLOADERS&i=T5P
09:15
< CalaveraJoe>
MAN does it hold a ton of kit
09:16
< CalaveraJoe>
randolph: Was it you wot updated the PAB inventory on brickbuildr.com?
09:16
<@randolph>
Wow that's pretty impressive
09:16
<@randolph>
Yes
09:16
<@randolph>
Ced made me do it
09:16
<@Ced23Ric>
Heh.
09:16
<@Ced23Ric>
I DID.
09:16
< CalaveraJoe>
Was that all they had? Seems like a slim selection in terms of variety
09:16
<@randolph>
No, it wasn't all
09:16
<@randolph>
I just couldn't remember anything beyond that
09:16
< CalaveraJoe>
Ah, okay
09:16
< CalaveraJoe>
hehe
09:16
< CalaveraJoe>
Didn't bring ye olde print out
09:16
<@randolph>
Everything else on that page was >1yr old
09:16
< CalaveraJoe>
Yeah
09:17
<@randolph>
So I figured "eh, delete"
09:17
<@randolph>
It's not like it was useful information anymore
09:17
< CalaveraJoe>
I might need to get some of those 1x2 bricks with the ridges
09:17
<@Ced23Ric>
"HERE'S IS WHAT WE USED TO SERVE."
09:17
<@Ced23Ric>
-'S
09:17
<@Ced23Ric>
CJ: Profile bricks. :D
09:17
< CalaveraJoe>
:P
09:18
< CalaveraJoe>
1 x 2 Brick modified with grill
09:18 * Ced23Ric is a huge fan of standarised language.
09:18
<@Ced23Ric>
I ... grilled your mom last night
09:18
< CalaveraJoe>
... I'm sorry?
09:18
<@Ced23Ric>
I don't know.
09:18
<@randolph>
CJ: I bought a few stacks of those for these: http://www.flickr.com/photos/78709365@N02/7188782165/
09:18
< CalaveraJoe>
I mean... if that's your thing, great... but *cough* yeah
09:19
<@Ced23Ric>
I dunno, man. Don't pressure me. D:
09:19
< CalaveraJoe>
randolph: Yeah, hehe, thats what I had in mind for 'em
09:19
<@randolph>
Performance anxiety?
09:19
<@Ced23Ric>
Yes. :(
09:19
<@Ced23Ric>
You could say that when I'm up ...
09:19
<@Ced23Ric>
!shades
09:19
< CalaveraJoe>
Hey Ced, you gotta breakdown or ldraw file for the fancy articulated chubs you're rocking all over the place?
09:20
<@Ced23Ric>
Uhm.
09:20
< mf0bot_>
YEEEEEEEAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!
09:20
<@Ced23Ric>
Wow.
09:20
<@Ced23Ric>
That was a fail.
09:21
< CalaveraJoe>
Also, your hand grenades? SO MUCH WIN
09:21
<@randolph>
Yeah those things rule
09:21
<@randolph>
(A Yates right?)
09:21
< CalaveraJoe>
Yeah
09:21
<@Ced23Ric>
Yipp.
09:21
< CalaveraJoe>
Makes me want piles of those flat bits
09:22
<@randolph>
I don't even have ONE 1x1 round tile
09:22
< CalaveraJoe>
I've got some... in the LotR set my pop-in-law got me for father's day, hehe
09:22
<@randolph>
hehe
09:22
< CalaveraJoe>
Also, the minecraft set is a hoot
09:23
<@Ced23Ric>
I ordered 50 grey, 40 trans-orange.
09:23
< CalaveraJoe>
http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemInv.asp?S=9476-1 is the lotr set
09:23
<@randolph>
Ced: What will you use the orange for?
09:24
<@Ced23Ric>
Dunno yet.
09:24
< CalaveraJoe>
awesomeness
09:24
<@Ced23Ric>
Thought Chub eyes.
09:24
<@Ced23Ric>
But I don't need those anymore.
09:24
<@Ced23Ric>
Now, maybe I change the color of the Conclave to burnt orange.
09:24
<@randolph>
That's pertty nice
09:24
<@Ced23Ric>
Orange/white/black.
09:24
< afny>
candy corn
09:24
<@randolph>
(set)
09:24
< afny>
yeah, that set looks very useful
09:24
< CalaveraJoe>
Damn those things are expensive
09:25
<@randolph>
Ooh, flat silver round tiles
09:26
<@randolph>
6, even
09:26
<@randolph>
Those Uruk-Hai swords
09:26
<@randolph>
I want to make many impractical MFZ weapons
09:26
<@randolph>
... and then never field a melee company ; ;
09:26
<@Ced23Ric>
EXACTLY.
09:26
<@Ced23Ric>
That is my fucking problem.
09:27
<@Ced23Ric>
As long as Melee doesn't become an auto-option not using system slots, I won't use it.
09:27
<@randolph>
I could keep extending the lengths of my swords until they're direct weapons <_<
09:28
< CalaveraJoe>
Yeah, there's a VERY real chance some of those swords will end up as kit for a frame
09:28
< CalaveraJoe>
And yes, hth/melee will likely only be relegated to white die
09:28
<@Ced23Ric>
Mhmm.
09:28
<@Ced23Ric>
Could just say fuck it and pass out proc knives.
09:28
< CalaveraJoe>
It's just not /worth/ the dice
09:28
<@randolph>
Well, it is, but it's so situational
09:29
<@Ced23Ric>
Too situational.
09:29
<@randolph>
When that situation comes up, jesus christ
09:29
<@Ced23Ric>
HtH is a niche animal that renders itself extinct.
09:29
<@Ced23Ric>
Like Pandas.
09:29
<@randolph>
They're surviving on cuteness now
09:29
<@randolph>
... like HtH v_v
09:29
< CalaveraJoe>
randolph: A+ on that Romulus
09:29
<@Ced23Ric>
Purty much.
09:30
<@randolph>
thanks dude
09:30
< CalaveraJoe>
How stable is it?
09:30
<@randolph>
It's Soren's, I just greebled it
09:30
< CalaveraJoe>
I mean, free standing
09:30 * Ced23Ric wonders whether he should build one, too.
09:30
< CalaveraJoe>
Well, free "flying" as it were
09:30
<@randolph>
Hm, checking, I haven't let it stand
09:30
<@Ced23Ric>
For shits and gigs.
09:30
< afny>
I should take new pics of my GN-Xs since you cracked the guts
09:30
<@randolph>
Like, off the post or not?
09:30
< afny>
but then again they don't look that different
09:30
< CalaveraJoe>
On post
09:30
<@randolph>
On the post, it's fine
09:30
< CalaveraJoe>
Too badass looking on post to ever be on the ground
09:30
<@randolph>
Hehe
09:30
<@randolph>
I want to get a clear cannon thingy
09:30
<@randolph>
Or 8
09:31
<@randolph>
And some clear dishes
09:31
< CalaveraJoe>
"But I destroyed your movement systems, it should be on the ground!" "Eff You! Flight is innate for awesomeness, not it just has no legs!"
09:31
< afny>
those things actually CAN stand up
09:31
< afny>
but they look very stupid
09:31
< CalaveraJoe>
I've got a handful of trans neon orange-ish
09:31
<@randolph>
"Oh, you misunderstand, that is an ACTUAL POST. It's part of the construction."
09:31
<@randolph>
"it flies by wire-fu"
09:32
< CalaveraJoe>
Need moar dishes tho
09:32
<@randolph>
Ferret found dishes in his PAB
09:32
<@randolph>
so jelly
09:32
< CalaveraJoe>
Hey randolph, you ever heard of Dicehouse games?
09:32
< CalaveraJoe>
-- that bastard!
09:32
<@randolph>
... it sounds familiar, but not off the top of my head
09:32
<@Ced23Ric>
I know.
09:32
<@Ced23Ric>
White dishes.
09:32
<@Ced23Ric>
Ijad company and stations and cover is a go.
09:32
< CalaveraJoe>
Chapman Ave in Fullerton, just West of the 57 (not quite all the way to State College)
09:33
< CalaveraJoe>
Very cool FLGS and very friendly to nerdery
09:33
<@randolph>
nice
09:33
<@randolph>
LEGO?
09:33
< CalaveraJoe>
No
09:33
<@randolph>
Or just potential converts
09:33
< CalaveraJoe>
but the owner is intrigued by MF0
09:33
< afny>
a place to play, too
09:33
<@randolph>
ahaa
09:33
< afny>
FLGS are a natural environment for MFZ
09:33
< afny>
even if they don't sell lego
09:33
<@randolph>
Have you seen ... damn, I can't remember the name now, in Brea, across from the Mall off Randolph street
09:33
< CalaveraJoe>
And has mentioned that he /might/ be willing to buy dice from Chessex and build "MF0 Dice Sets" if he sees enough interest
09:34
<@randolph>
It's also FLGS, and I see them wargaming in there
09:34
< CalaveraJoe>
Also, I figure for our first meeting, a nice friendly 3rd party environment allows us both to do the "Are you cool people, or a fucking whack job who doesn't need to know where my /actual/ house is?" eval
09:35
<@randolph>
like, just on the other side of street from sears
09:35
<@randolph>
haha
09:35
< CalaveraJoe>
I don't troll Brea much, so I can't say it rings a bell
09:35
< CalaveraJoe>
The Realm
09:35
<@randolph>
We could just go to Disney and throw down on their little DUPLO buildmats <_<
09:35
< CalaveraJoe>
Ew, no
09:35
<@randolph>
I'm joking
09:36
< CalaveraJoe>
Do you have any idea how much child chunder is on those things?
09:36
<@randolph>
hee
09:36
< CalaveraJoe>
*twitch*
09:36
< CalaveraJoe>
I try not to think about it too much when buying from the PAB wall there
09:36
<@randolph>
They have that giant ramp
09:36
<@randolph>
snerk
09:36
<@randolph>
Note: Ced pries bricks apart with his teeth
09:36
<@randolph>
Food for thought
09:37
< CalaveraJoe>
I try to reserve that for ones I own, hehe
09:37
< CalaveraJoe>
https://www.facebook.com/dicehouse?v=wall&ref=ts
09:37
< CalaveraJoe>
Tuan's good people. The store's layout is nice and open
09:37
< CalaveraJoe>
and if it can be special ordered, he's happy too (and gives a discount too when you pay)
09:38
< CalaveraJoe>
If you look through the cover photos, there's some good shots of the shop itself
09:38
<@Ced23Ric>
I actually nibble on Lego.
09:38
< CalaveraJoe>
Shelves down facing walls, tables in the middle
09:39
<@Ced23Ric>
I am bad for antennas and light sabre blades.
09:39
< CalaveraJoe>
Also, $1 sodas and candy to keep the gamers twitching
09:39
< CalaveraJoe>

09:39
< CalaveraJoe>
There we go
09:39
<@randolph>
heh
09:39
< afny>
maybe it's because I like to eat healthy, but that whole games=soda association has always bothered me
09:39
< CalaveraJoe>
Though it's recently be re-remodeled
09:40
<@randolph>
cool
09:40
<@randolph>
I'll definitely check it out
09:40
< CalaveraJoe>
afny: For me, its more about caffeine than the sugar
09:40
< afny>
but then again I've seen a gaming club shut down because they filled their entire Student Union room with mountain dew and decided they had to lock it so no one took their soda...
09:40
< afny>
Yeah, I understand that. I'm the opposite, though.
09:40
<@randolph>
...
09:40
< afny>
I regularly abuse caffeine, but never drink soda (and rarely eat cheap candy)
09:40
<@Ced23Ric>
I drink either of two things while gaming.
09:40
<@Ced23Ric>
Beer or water.
09:41
< afny>
The only two choices, really.
09:41
<@Ced23Ric>
Right now, I am nomming on fresh cherries from farms around Berlin.
09:41
< afny>
Hhhgh so good.
09:41
<@Ced23Ric>
Fruit's my candy.
09:41
< CalaveraJoe>
If I'm running a game, I tend to stick to water, but I'll frontload caffeine before the fact
09:42
<@Ced23Ric>
For example, chips I only eat out of boredom.
09:42
< CalaveraJoe>
Playing *shrug* whatever
09:42
<@Ced23Ric>
And ... I rarely get bored enough to eat chips.
09:42
<@Ced23Ric>
Maybe some gummibears once in a while.
09:42
<@Ced23Ric>
But that's it.
09:42
< afny>
I've just met so many people who's default mode is
09:42
< afny>
drink soda eat junk food play games
09:42
< afny>
(video or tabletop)
09:43
< afny>
It's just sort of mindboggling how prevalent the crossover of those lifestyles is here.
09:43
<@randolph>
well, take out the video games
09:43
<@randolph>
It's STILL prevalent
09:43
< CalaveraJoe>
Hey Ced: Did you see Mitten's post con post?
09:43
<@randolph>
Like, there was some ad on the radio
09:44
< CalaveraJoe>
Looks like he put your squad sheets to good use
09:44
<@randolph>
talking about grocery shopping for kids
09:44
<@randolph>
It was a short sound clip of breakfast, lunch, dinner
09:44
<@randolph>
Each time, accompanied by the fizz of soda
09:44
< afny>
ugh
09:44
<@randolph>
That's... horrifying
09:44
< afny>
that shit pisses me off so much
09:44
< afny>
and it's SO pervasive
09:44
<@randolph>
Yeah
09:44
< afny>
Soda is SO unhealthy and SO addictive
09:44
<@Ced23Ric>
BBIAB
09:44
< CalaveraJoe>
http://mobileframehangar.com/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=1636 Holy crap these are nice
09:44
<@randolph>
It's got nothing to do with videogames anymore, imo
09:45
< afny>
Well yeah, I mean, the problem is FAR outside the scope of any one niche community
09:45
<@randolph>
Heheh yeah, those are really cool
09:45
< afny>
but I just so rarely meet gamers of any sort that eat healthy
09:45
< CalaveraJoe>
So much trans goodness (and some pretty unique styling)
09:45
< afny>
I hope he actually runs an ORGE style game with the light up frame as a boss
09:46
< afny>
OGRE...
09:46
< afny>
I'll take some orge.
09:46
< CalaveraJoe>
I also really love the Dissident
09:47
< afny>
For some reason LFOW's color choice never grabs me
09:47
< afny>
I like his builds for both companies, but I'm always confused by the colors he uses
09:47
< CalaveraJoe>
What's his other company?
09:47
<@randolph>
Black and Neon Green signal Evil Aliens
09:47
< afny>
Something Dawn
09:47
< afny>
it's red, white, and black
09:47
< afny>
gold accents.
09:48
< CalaveraJoe>
Mistarille
09:48
< afny>
on the other hand, Sage's color use is spot on every time
09:48
< CalaveraJoe>
Mew?
09:48
< afny>
MEW?
09:48
< CalaveraJoe>
Ah, yeah
09:49
< afny>
Mew.
09:49 * CalaveraJoe doesn't /quite/ know folks straight off by name
09:49
< afny>
I'm so confused.
09:49
< afny>
What are we talking about?
09:49
< CalaveraJoe>
Guh, SO love this http://www.flickr.com/photos/78781036@N08/7380852032/
09:49
< afny>
That's who I'm talking about
09:49
< afny>
I'm confused man!
09:49
<@randolph>
What was the Mew thing?
09:50
< afny>
???
09:50
< CalaveraJoe>
My default "Who/What/Where?" noise
09:50
< CalaveraJoe>
Alternatively, I use "Aroo?"
09:50
< afny>
Aroo is a little more universal
09:50
< afny>
Scooby Doo and Nixon both said Aroo.
09:50
<@randolph>
Nixon??
09:50
< afny>
only tiny cats say mew, and they say that for everything.
09:51 * CalaveraJoe possibly hung out with too many Anime kids back in high school in the 90s
09:51
< afny>
randolph: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T7JmGRK7M4s

< CalaveraJoe>
... Man, Ced needs to stop building, he's making the rest of us look lazy
09:51
<@randolph>
...
09:52
<@randolph>
Heh
09:52
< afny>
I know the feeling
09:52
<@randolph>
Well, I mean, when the urge strikes you (and you have enough bricks), go nuts!
09:53
< afny>
the last THREE TIMES I've posted a company
09:53
< CalaveraJoe>
Admittedly, I blame my OCD for my slow ass build times
09:53
< afny>
within the day Ced has posted THREE companies
09:53
< CalaveraJoe>
needed to sort and resort and and and parts
09:53
<@randolph>
hehe
09:53
< CalaveraJoe>
Like... it's an act of willpower that I've still got a few zip locks of bigger bricks / plates
09:54
< CalaveraJoe>
Instead of having made a trip to Fry's to buy more containers
09:54
<@randolph>
haha
09:54
<@randolph>
Just build everything, problem solved <_<
09:55
< CalaveraJoe>
Can't do it
09:55
< CalaveraJoe>
I'm not cripplingly OC, mind you, but there are a few things that drive me batty
09:55
< CalaveraJoe>
Wife and I have, oh... 450+ dvd/blurays
09:56
< CalaveraJoe>
I can usually spot when one is out of place from across the room
10:01
< CalaveraJoe>
Also, I love this little dude: http://www.flickr.com/photos/77282790@N03/sets/72157630117916974/
10:01
< afny>
Yeah, me too
10:02
< afny>
that guy's biped frames are pretty neat as well
10:02
< afny>
a very original shape
10:03
<@Ced23Ric>
Hey.
10:04
< CalaveraJoe>
Ced: Sooo, do you just sleep on frames now? Cause you've gotta be running out of room
10:04
<@Ced23Ric>
<CalaveraJoe> ... Man, Ced needs to stop building, he's making the rest of us look lazy <-- I stopped building.
10:04
< afny>
Ced, did you see that SU poster mockup?
10:04

<@Ced23Ric>
But.
10:05

Google for "Crimson Lance" and "poster".
10:05
<@Ced23Ric>
THose are some of my fav faction artworks of recent years.
10:05
< CalaveraJoe>
-_-
10:05
< CalaveraJoe>
Yeah, I saw that the other day
10:05 * Ced23Ric 's gonna build another Ijad company come next month.

10:05
<@Ced23Ric>
And, probably, some modular reinforced wall segments.
10:06
< afny>
you mean that?
10:06
<@Ced23Ric>
Yes.
10:06
< afny>
It's cool, but I wasn't going for a military aesthetic
10:06
<@Ced23Ric>
There's multiples of course.
10:07

I almost had it painted on my ceiling once.
10:07
< afny>
this was more of a tourism type poster
10:07
< afny>
less mil.prop
10:07
< afny>
also
10:07
<@randolph>
Ced: That's really awesome (top down shot)
10:07
< afny>
that's a pretty angry image to wake up to every morning
10:07
<@randolph>
... I still think the stations look like cheerleader daleks
10:07

nice
10:08

Aww, cute little duckies
10:08

Everyone obsesses over the duckies.

While I was trying to find the most hideous baby socks.
10:09

I like "russian mail order brides"
10:09
<@Ced23Ric>
I needed some long item in the navi to try it out.
10:09
<@Ced23Ric>
That kinda nailed it.
10:13
< afny>
man
10:13
< afny>
watching Zeta Gundam again
10:13
< afny>
I really need to make a transforming frame
10:13
<@randolph>
REFIT THE ORBITAL GUARD
10:13
< afny>
REALLLY thinking about refitting both of them
10:14
<@randolph>
I was going to turn my yellow chubs into Bumblebee
10:14
< afny>
heh
10:14
<@randolph>
It was going to be my secret project but I'm too tired to care right now
10:14
< afny>
it's a good project
10:16
<@randolph>
I think if you put wingplates on the arms and shoulders of the OG, then retrofit the legs using the single-join construction we talked about earlier today, you'll be 75% of the way there
10:16
<@randolph>
might have to tweak the head design a bit, add an extra point of articulation
10:16
< afny>
the PAB
10:16
< afny>
had black wing plates
10:16
< afny>
AND I DIDN'T BUY ANY
10:16
< afny>
I regret it now
10:17
<@randolph>
It's ok, I bet they only had left or right
10:17
<@randolph>
Mine only had one
10:17
< CalaveraJoe>
Oh god, I hate that
10:17
< afny>
ah damn, didn't even think of that
10:17
< afny>
you're surely right
10:17
< afny>
I probably have enough of them in my collection to refit two frames anyway
10:17
<@randolph>
okay, I really gotta go to bed
10:17
<@randolph>
If you do refit
10:17
< afny>
although the red one is based on a frame that only SORT of transforms
10:17
<@randolph>
post so I can see
10:18
< afny>
will do
10:18
< afny>
o7 night
10:18
< CalaveraJoe>
Night randolph!
10:18
<@randolph>
nn guys
10:19
<@Ced23Ric>
Mhmm.
10:20
<@Ced23Ric>
Do you need 1x4 plates?
10:20
<@Ced23Ric>
For the guard.
10:20
< afny>
just 1x3s
10:20
<@Ced23Ric>
Sweet, I got those.
10:20
<@Ced23Ric>
Any other large part?
10:20
< afny>
hinge plates
10:20
<@Ced23Ric>
Got 10 in black.
10:20
< afny>
it takes 6
10:20
<@Ced23Ric>
So I can build one.
10:21
< afny>
ya
10:21
< afny>
YA
10:21
< CalaveraJoe>
Guard?
10:21
<@Ced23Ric>
Mhmm.
10:21
<@Ced23Ric>
Any possible replacements?
10:21
< afny>
for what
10:21
<@Ced23Ric>
Hinges.
10:21
< afny>
not to have it look the same, but you can do anything for the arms or legs
10:21
< afny>
they just attach to bar plates via clips
10:22
< afny>
I was thinking that it would look very cool with hi-leg legs
10:22
<@Ced23Ric>
Mhmm, k.
10:22
<@Ced23Ric>
I'll investigate.
10:22
<@Ced23Ric>
Because I think the 13th guard should get an aerial 'frame, too.
10:22
< afny>
CalaveraJoe: http://www.flickr.com/photos/kyanosmoros/7377531944/in/pool-438009@N25/
10:23
< afny>
there's a linkthrough to the frame it's based on in the comments
10:23
< CalaveraJoe>
Ah, yeah, the one randolph linked me earlier
10:23
< afny>
yea
10:23
<@Ced23Ric>
BBIAB
10:23
< CalaveraJoe>
Yeah.. I might need to see if I can kit one of those up
10:23
< CalaveraJoe>
Is there a breakdown anyplace for that guy?
10:23
< afny>
yeah, randolph and I figured it out last night
10:24
< afny>
the one in my pic uses hackey innards, I was just building for the outline
10:24
< afny>
but we sat down and reverse-engineered Soren's
10:24
< CalaveraJoe>
*nod* Any pics up of the breakdown?
10:24
< afny>
uhhh
10:24
< afny>
I think randolph has a couple but we didn't post them anywhere
10:24
< CalaveraJoe>
kk
10:24
< afny>
hm here, I have one
10:24
< afny>
not too helpful but this is one I took of the side
10:25
< afny>
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/84803929/Photo%20on%202012-06-18%20at%2003.53.jpg
10:27
< afny>
from left to right, its
10:27
< afny>
a 1x2 tile (cosmetic
10:27
< afny>
)
10:27
< CalaveraJoe>
Doesn't look to horribly complicated
10:27
< afny>
a 1x3 plate
10:27
< afny>
another 1x3 plate, offset downward by one stud
10:27
< afny>
a ring plate with ring going up
10:27
< afny>
a ring plate with ring going down
10:28
< afny>
then you sandwich the first ringplate in two 1x1 plates
10:28
< afny>
and another one behind that between two 1x1 rounds
10:28
< afny>
and then you attach those with a 1x2 bar plate
10:28
< afny>
that gets you the torso and neck
10:28
< afny>
if you get stuck randolph or I (and maybe Ced, not sure how much he paid attention) can help
10:29
< afny>
also, the head in that pic is wrong if you want to use Soren's design exactly
10:29
< CalaveraJoe>
How solid is that guy?
10:29
< afny>
the black round 1x1 plate in the neck should be a jumper
10:29
< afny>
the torso/arms are really solid
10:30
< afny>
the way the legs attach is via a clip tile/round 1x1 on either side of the downward facing ring plate
10:30
< CalaveraJoe>
I'm not terribly worried about an exact copy
10:30
< afny>
those connections are a little flimsy, but they don't fall off or anything
10:30
< afny>
yeah, we weren't either but the jumper moves the head forward by a good bit
10:30
< CalaveraJoe>
My plan for most of my frames is to build ones I like, then strip them down, and tweak designs
10:30
< afny>
otherwise it looks like he's got a turtle neck
10:30
< afny>
it drove us nuts for a while trying to figure out how to get the head to come forward
10:31
< CalaveraJoe>
Jumper? That's the 1 x 2 with the stud in the middle on top, right?
10:31
< afny>
yeah
10:31
< afny>
all it does is offset the point where the head connects a little bit forward
10:31
< afny>
so it's out past the bar plates of the shoulders a little more
10:31
< CalaveraJoe>
*nod* So jumper on the headlight
10:31
< afny>
where the black 1x1 round is in my pic, yea
10:31
< CalaveraJoe>
gotcha
10:32
< CalaveraJoe>
I'll chat log this and give it a whirl in the next day or two (or three or four)
10:32
< CalaveraJoe>
Now though, I need to make friendly with the bed
10:32
< afny>
good luck, I hear they're uppity
10:32
< afny>
beds, that is
10:32
< CalaveraJoe>
since little Mr will invariably wake me in like... 5 hours

so I'm not sure if it's like, legible

working on a SEMI-transformable GNX
12:26
<@Ceddobear>
See, I wouldn't even know what to transform into.
12:26
<@Ceddobear>
Or what for.
12:27
< afny>
what I'm thinking for this is
12:27
< afny>
I just want a "flight mode"
12:27
< afny>
it doesn't have to actually transform drastically
12:27
< afny>
but the idea is, when it loses its green die, you transform it out of "flight mode"
12:27
< afny>
and that's a system loss
12:28
< afny>
sort of a workaround to the
12:28
< afny>
well I have a flying frame that can't stand up without a stand
12:28
< afny>
and looks dumb as fuck without its shoulder mounts
12:28
<@Ceddobear>
So, basically, landing gear? :D
12:29

more like
12:29

a re-entry mode

12:41

how do you not know how to make a SWORD
12:42

Have you read his thread?
12:42
< afny>
oh god
12:42
< afny>
what is this thing you made
12:42
< afny>
a flying wing
12:43
< afny>
which thread
13:16
<@Ceddobear>
The one in Weapons & Equip
13:16
<@Ceddobear>
And it's not a wing.
13:17
<@Ceddobear>
It's a 3x6 blade /w grip.
13:17
< afny>
I know it's not REALLY a flying wing
13:18

I was just saying that it looked as big

17:31
< CalaveraJoe>
The shoulder thrusters look like travis bricks with flair
17:32
< CalaveraJoe>
On Sorens
17:32
<@Ceddobear>
Well, yeah.
17:32
<@Ceddobear>
How the balls do they attach?
17:32
< CalaveraJoe>
The thrusters?
17:32
< CalaveraJoe>
On the arm
17:32
< CalaveraJoe>
Arms are innie bit outward
17:33
< CalaveraJoe>
So one side of the travis goes in there, with the "bottom" facing rearward
17:33
< CalaveraJoe>
Then just greble the other pegs
17:34
< CalaveraJoe>
Or are you stuck on the 1x2 plate with bar bit?
17:34
<@Ceddobear>
Nah, the legs.
17:34
< CalaveraJoe>
If you look at Soren's, it's reversed from http://www.flickr.com/photos/kyanosmoros/7377531944/sizes/k/in/pool-438009@N25/
17:34
<@Ceddobear>
I am done waist-up.
17:34
< CalaveraJoe>
Gotcha
17:34
< CalaveraJoe>
Just starting the legs m'self
17:34
<@Ceddobear>
Well, I have the clip tiles in place.
17:34
< CalaveraJoe>
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/84803929/Photo%20on%202012-06-18%20at%2003.53.jpg
17:35
<@Ceddobear>
And it looks like they are clipping on to something.
17:35
< CalaveraJoe>
Yeah, there's the 1x1 with clip there on the bottom of the torso
17:35
<@Ceddobear>
Ah!
17:35
< CalaveraJoe>
It LOOKS like it clips into another 1x2 bar
17:35
<@Ceddobear>
Dafuq izzat?
17:35
<@Ceddobear>
Mhmm.
17:35
< CalaveraJoe>
That's the side shot of the torso, sans arm
17:35
<@Ceddobear>
Would that make sense?
17:36
< CalaveraJoe>
And headlight bricks on the pegs of the bar
17:36
<@Ceddobear>
Yeah, you are right.
17:36
< CalaveraJoe>
Woo!
17:37
<@randolph>
Hey guys
17:37
< CalaveraJoe>
Mornin
17:37
<@randolph>
Leg, starting with torso ringplate
17:37
<@randolph>
ringplate -> 1x1 roundplate -> cliptile -> 1x2 barplate
17:37
<@randolph>
now thruster, around the barplate
17:38
<@randolph>
(front to back)
17:38
<@randolph>
headlight -> 1x2 barplate -> headlight -> travis
17:39
<@randolph>
leg, off the barplate stud: 1x4 hingeplates x2 (sandwich) -> L-plate -> foot greebles
17:39
< CalaveraJoe>
So there's a 1x1 round on the ring plate, before the cliptile?
17:39
<@randolph>
yes
17:39
<@randolph>
Otherwise the hip doesn't swivel
17:39
< CalaveraJoe>
Just noticed that
17:39
<@randolph>
I'm late for work, PM on forums if you need anything else (no IRC)
17:40
<@Ceddobear>
Heh. Done.
17:40
<@Ceddobear>
What a weird little 'frame.
17:41
< CalaveraJoe>
Yeah
17:41
< CalaveraJoe>
Pretty neat, and damn posable
17:44
< CalaveraJoe>
On this pic http://www.flickr.com/photos/kyanosmoros/7377531944/sizes/k/in/pool-438009@N25/ I don't understand how those 1x2bars for the arms are facing pegs in
17:44
< CalaveraJoe>
Err studs in
17:44
<@Ceddobear>
They are not.
17:44
<@Ceddobear>
Not at all.
17:45
< CalaveraJoe>
o_O are we looking at the same thing?
17:45
<@Ceddobear>
The inner workings are: lampholder /w 1x1 plates on each side, lampholder /w 1x1 round plate on each side.
17:45
< CalaveraJoe>
Yeah, I got that
17:45
<@Ceddobear>
You are looking at an older version.
17:45
< CalaveraJoe>
Ahhh
17:45
< CalaveraJoe>
okay
17:45
< CalaveraJoe>
Different guts
17:45
<@Ceddobear>
That's what afny's work around looked like.
17:46
< CalaveraJoe>
Okay
17:46
<@Ceddobear>
Mhmm, yeah. I got it now. Neat.

I was trying to figure out something elegant to to use my 1x2s on and I think this is it, because I've got a lot of plates too
19:22
<~Noah>
Just gotta pick up a bunch of pins and technic 1x2s and 1x1s, gonna make some modifications to it
19:22
<~Noah>
I had an idea like this when I saw the Mincraft microworld set
19:22
<~Noah>
Glad someone else likes the idea too
19:23
<@Ceddobear>
Yeah, I found out that you can get 1250 1x2 bricks for 50 Euros.
19:34
<~Noah>
I probably have that many now
19:35
<~Noah>
That might be an exaggeration, but still
19:36
<@Ceddobear>
I'mma check how many of what you'd need to build some serious cover.
19:37
<~Noah>
Well, I think a plate where the slops begin would be good, since that would make the bottom layer minimal cover
19:38
<~Noah>
That way from the slopes down is 3 brick high (2 brick + 3 plate)
19:45
<~Noah>
That way, once you take the slops off, it quits being cover, but it's a disaster to put back together after play
19:46
<~Noah>

<@Ceddobear>
Nah.
19:54
<@Ceddobear>
YOu don't want 2 bricks, 3 plates.
19:54
<@Ceddobear>
That's cover.
19:54
<@Ceddobear>
You want 2 bricks, 2 plates.
19:54
<@Ceddobear>
That's your base.
19:54
<@Ceddobear>
And then, you build up with bricks.
19:58
<~Noah>
True, but if I had that plate, it increases the density a bit
19:59
<~Noah>
Since that layer above the brick is two deep, and they would have to be shot off to make it not cover any more
19:59
<~Noah>
I'm gonna throw something together, brb
20:06
<@Ceddobear>
Hah.
20:06
<@Ceddobear>
Got a spreadsheet to calculate parts needed.

I was sad that we didn't get into combat at the lifter, i was looking forward to going batshit~

Seeing as there are three Meerkats, I'm tempted to make a WT Meerkat.
20:55
<@randolph>
But, you know, an actual meerkat
20:55
<@Ceddobear>
Nah, turn-based strategy.
20:55
<@randolph>
Ah, hm, I'll check it out
20:55
<@Ceddobear>
You control a team of mercs, usually 4 - 6.
20:55
<@randolph>
gotcha
20:55
<@Ceddobear>
Up to 18, but that's way late game.
20:56
<@Ceddobear>
Probably one of the best games of it's kind.
20:56 * Ceddobear 's still working on modular cover.

Oh, how'd your orbital guard turn out?

Perfectly. :D
21:03

I broke my head over the jumper aswell.
21:03
<@Ceddobear>
And then, the 1x2 bar plate for the legs.

After that, smooth sailing.

Let's check what the cost on them is.
21:05
<@randolph>
cool
21:06
<@randolph>
Which company will he go into, if any?
21:08
<@Ceddobear>
He's done up as 13th Guard, so SU.
21:08
<@Ceddobear>
But he probably won't see much action.
21:08
<@Ceddobear>
He's a Soldier config.
21:08
<@Ceddobear>
But he looks cool. ^^
21:10
<@randolph>
You could make him USF~
21:10
<@randolph>
It makes sense to have global range when you orbitdrop

Heading back to work, but I want to see the thruster and lance design later

Has the irc been quiet lately? Or is it just when I get on?

<+MittenNinja>
Hahaha
22:49

I'm actually really excited to get to those eventually
22:50

It's been quiet, but not truly dead
22:50
<+MittenNinja>
But I have so many more frames I want to work out first
22:50

Gotcha

Well, it's shaping up to be the ever vigilant few as a core.
22:51
<@Ceddobear>
We don't have much influx.
22:51

I may have to pick up some of those architecture sets for when I get to cruisers
22:51

Lots o tan bricks

For sure

Lookin good man
22:54
<+MittenNinja>
I'm going to be going for a more boxy approach with mine
22:54
<+MittenNinja>
Much more akin to cruisers from Babylon 5
22:55
<@Ceddobear>
Well, yeah. I'm trying out the aquadynamic style right now.
22:55
<@Ceddobear>
But there will be boxes, too. :D
