| 00:14 | <+Tetrajak> | heya people |
| 00:15 | < afny> | o/ |
| 00:19 | < afny> | Damn |
| 00:19 | < afny> | I wish the penny arcade game was available somewhere else |
| 00:19 | < afny> | for some reason my steam account stopped taking my debit card |
| 00:19 | < afny> | e |
| 00:19 | < afny> | +ven when it's got money in the account |
| 00:20 | <+Tetrajak> | suck :D |
| 00:20 | <+Tetrajak> | D:* |
| 00:20 | <+Tetrajak> | in unrelated news: I enjoy how anti-randolph-math some of the rules in MFZ are XD |
| 00:20 | <+Tetrajak> | or more specifically, how annoyed Vincent gets |
| 00:21 | < afny> | Haha |
| 00:21 | < afny> | I read it in his voice |
| 00:22 | < afny> | He definitely seems like the kind of guy that will just quietly tolerate rules lawyers before finally snapping and chasing them out of his house with a bat |
| 00:23 | <+Tetrajak> | Yea, he definitely has a problem with rules lawyers, or the bending of rules |
| 00:23 | < afny> | I'm confused as to what the discussion even is |
| 00:24 | < afny> | it's like, are you in cover to an enemy if you're both on opposite sides of a little wall or whatever? |
| 00:24 | <+Tetrajak> | it's about whether, in the precise mathematics of it, frames are in cover or not |
| 00:24 | <+Tetrajak> | yea |
| 00:24 | < afny> | but don't HtH attacks IGNORE cover anyway? |
| 00:24 | <+Tetrajak> | if not HtH |
| 00:24 | <+Tetrajak> | say, DF |
| 00:24 | < afny> | so they're not right next to eachother, then |
| 00:24 | < afny> | they're far away AND on other sides of the wall |
| 00:24 | <+Tetrajak> | well, they can be outside of HtH range of each other, but within 1 unit of the wall |
| 00:25 | | FerrelFerret [NSwebIRC@Nightstar-30921e32.fios.verizon.net] has quit [[NS] Quit: Page closed] |
| 00:25 | <+Tetrajak> | however |
| 00:25 | < afny> | a damn long wall |
| 00:25 | <+Tetrajak> | the rules state that if unsure, then a frame is in cover |
| 00:25 | < afny> | even without that courtesy clause it just seems like there's no question |
| 00:26 | < afny> | unless we're talking about one looong THIN wall |
| 00:26 | < afny> | a |
| 00:26 | < afny> | +and both frames are on the same side of it |
| 00:26 | < afny> | but not within HtH range of eachother |

| 00:26 | < afny> | Hey MK |
| 00:26 | < Mantisking> | Howdy. |
| 00:26 | < Mantisking> | Anyone else have trouble connecting? |
| 00:27 | < afny> | Been in here all day, but no drops |
| 00:27 | < Mantisking> | I tried logging in through my usual connection and it just sorta hung up. |
| 00:29 | <+Tetrajak> | afny: I think the courtesy clause makes the debate moot |
| 00:30 | < afny> | oh, definitely |
| 00:31 | < afny> | but even without it I just am boggled that they got into the discussion in the first place |
| 00:31 | < afny> | that's all |

| 00:32 | < Mantisking_> | test |
| 00:32 | <+Tetrajak> | afny: well, randolph does like to crunch numbers |
| 00:32 | <+Tetrajak> | MK: I see your test |
| 00:32 | < Mantisking_> | Apparently it worked. |
| 00:34 | < afny> | So TJ, I'll drag you into this discussion since you commented on the Flikr picture |
| 00:34 | < afny> | Do you buy the legs of the Hammerheads? |
| 00:34 | < afny> | mostly in the newer picture where they're walking, not the older version |
| 00:35 | <+Tetrajak> | If they were all done up in junkyard colours, sure |
| 00:35 | <+Tetrajak> | but if you plan on making them look finished, then no |
| 00:35 | < afny> | Well I mean just the build, not the colors |
| 00:35 | < afny> | but yeah, it's supposed to be scrap mods with a dash of urban camo |
| 00:35 | < afny> | (because I didn't have many bits left) |
| 00:35 | < afny> | but just looking at the shape, do you buy it? |
| 00:35 | <+Tetrajak> | I'm saying I'd only accept the build if they were in the appropriate colours, because it looks unfinished |
| 00:36 | < afny> | so...is that a yes or a no |
| 00:37 | | Mantisking_ [NSwebIRC@Nightstar-da7fffe9.ma.comcast.net] has quit [Ping timeout: 121 seconds] |
| 00:37 | <+Tetrajak> | colours are important to me |
| 00:37 | | MoF0-4664 [NSJavaIRC@Nightstar-da7fffe9.ma.comcast.net] has joined #mf0 |
| 00:37 | <+Tetrajak> | so it's a conditional yes/no |
| 00:38 | < MoF0-4664> | Let's try the third option! |
| 00:38 | < afny> | I'm saying completely disregarding color |
| 00:38 | | MoF0-4664 is now known as Mantisking |
| 00:38 | < afny> | the one closest to the "intended paintjob" is the far left one |
| 00:38 | < afny> | but if every single piece was light bley |
| 00:39 | < Mantisking> | It'd be boring? |
| 00:39 | | * afny slaps his forehead |
| 00:39 | < Mantisking> | :-) |
| 00:40 | <+Tetrajak> | afny: link me again? |
| 00:40 | < afny> | Well the reason I ask is because Ced just sort of reamed me |
| 00:40 | < afny> | http://www.flickr.com/photos/kyanosmoros/7443410030/ |
| 00:40 | <+Tetrajak> | Ced is evil like that |
| 00:40 | < afny> | Well I value his input |

| 00:40 | < afny> | but we appreciate different aesthetics |
| 00:40 | | MoF0-2226 [NSJavaIRC@Nightstar-da7fffe9.ma.comcast.net] has joined #mf0 |
| 00:40 | <+Tetrajak> | afny: swap the light grey for dark grey, or the black for dark grey, and it works |
| 00:40 | < afny> | he's really havin' trouble |
| 00:40 | | MoF0-2226 is now known as Mantisking |
| 00:41 | < Mantisking> | Who? |
| 00:41 | < afny> | alright, well, I won't because I have no more bricks |
| 00:41 | < afny> | oh, you |
| 00:41 | < afny> | you keep disconnecting |
| 00:41 | < afny> | BUT |
| 00:41 | < Mantisking> | Ah, I figured. |
| 00:41 | < afny> | I'll take that as a yes, TJ |
| 00:41 | < afny> | AND I WILL RUN WITH IT. |
| 00:41 | <+Tetrajak> | lololol |
| 00:41 | <+Tetrajak> | I like how junkyard it looks, you already know that :D |
| 00:41 | < afny> | I might actually swap them all around |
| 00:41 | < afny> | so it's even MORE random |
| 00:41 | < Mantisking> | #$%^&*ing IRC. |
| 00:42 | < Mantisking> | :-) |
| 00:42 | < afny> | i'm not confident in my ability to do actual camo but it's worth a try |
| 00:42 | < Mantisking> | Camo can be a pain in the ass. |
| 00:42 | < afny> | so can finding 2x9 plates |
| 00:42 | < Mantisking> | I tried making my Mechabuster look like it was doen up in urban camo. |
| 00:43 | < afny> | gotta link? |
| 00:43 | <+Tetrajak> | afny |
| 00:43 | <+Tetrajak> | when you say left, do you mean screen left? |
| 00:43 | <+Tetrajak> | i.e. the one in only black and grey? |
| 00:43 | < afny> | yeah, but I only said that to make you stop thinking about colors |
| 00:43 | <+Tetrajak> | -_- |
| 00:44 | < afny> | if these were intended to be "finished" in fluff they'd be all in new dark grey and lime green |
| 00:44 | < afny> | but no gots. |
| 00:44 | <+Tetrajak> | make it in dark bley, a little black, some dark brown, maybe some tan on the joints, and some bronze if you can get it. THEN it will look junkyard |
| 00:44 | < afny> | you keep saying these things, but I don't think you hear me when I say I have no bricks |
| 00:44 | < afny> | those are literally the last of my headlights in those guys |
| 00:45 | < Mantisking> | http://www.flickr.com/photos/35895569@N05/5694684188/in/photostream |
| 00:45 | < afny> | yeah, urban camo |
| 00:45 | < afny> | pretty much how i'd approach it too |
| 00:45 | < afny> | it is hard |
| 00:46 | < afny> | I like the feet, it reminds me of a gecko |
| 00:47 | < afny> | okay, i'm starting to think 2x9 plates don't exist |
| 00:47 | < afny> | but I KNOW they do |
| 00:47 | < Mantisking> | 2x9? |
| 00:47 | <+Tetrajak> | afny: that's what bricklink is all about |
| 00:48 | < afny> | it's not what being broke is about, though |
| 00:48 | < Mantisking> | As far as I know, plates only come in even numbers, aside from 2x3. |
| 00:48 | < afny> | hm |
| 00:48 | < afny> | okay, I THINK I used one |
| 00:48 | < afny> | but maybe I've gone through this before and just did something else |
| 00:48 | < afny> | I'll check. |
| 00:49 | < afny> | ah, okay |
| 00:49 | < afny> | yes, I'm just an idiot |
| 00:49 | < afny> | I used two 4x2s and a 1x2. |

| 00:52 | < afny> | I don't know why I didn't check ten minutes ago |
| 00:52 | < randolph_> | Sheesh TJ, did I or my abacus kill your dog or something? |
| 00:52 | < afny> | the thing is sitting right there. |
| 00:53 | <+Tetrajak> | randolph: sorry randolph :S |
| 00:53 | <+Tetrajak> | randolph: I have nothing against you |
| 00:53 | < randolph_> | I mean, I wasn't even rules-lawyering; Axhead pulled out an imaginary rule because of some sketchy wording in the preview, that Mantis confirmed was wrong |
| 00:54 | < randolph_> | I was the only one to stop that train before it got way out of hand |
| 00:54 | | CaGeRit [x@Nightstar-f0d9c21f.hr.cox.net] has joined #mf0 |
| 00:54 | < randolph_> | I was trying to do everyone a favor and not propogate yet another LOS situation |
| 00:54 | < Mantisking> | I skimmed the whole thing until the last post I replied to. |
| 00:54 | < afny> | randolph: why are you saying randolph when you address randolph randolph |
| 00:54 | < CaGeRit> | Whats this about someone else picking up on LOS? |
| 00:54 | < randolph_> | oh god |
| 00:55 | < afny> | (malkovich malkovich) |
| 00:55 | < randolph_> | die CGR |
| 00:55 | < CaGeRit> | ?? |
| 00:55 | < randolph_> | @ afny: You were wondering why we were even discussing it - I DON'T KNOW |
| 00:55 | <+Tetrajak> | afny man, I totally forgot about the way IRC picks up on names |
| 00:55 | < CaGeRit> | Getting rope Brb. |
| 00:55 | < randolph_> | Axhead was using an inferred rule of "you can't deploy defender frames behind cover next to attacker frames using that cover" |
| 00:56 | <+Tetrajak> | ooooooooh, I get it now |
| 00:56 | < randolph_> | Because since HtH ignores cover -> therefore it must not be cover... and I was pretty sure that's not true |
| 00:56 | < CaGeRit> | But isn't cover directional? |
| 00:56 | < CaGeRit> | As well. |
| 00:56 | < randolph_> | Yes. |
| 00:56 | < randolph_> | You have to be in cover from ALL attackers |
| 00:56 | < randolph_> | So Axhead thought "since you don't get [the benefit of] cover against HtH, Defenders can't deploy there |
| 00:56 | <+Tetrajak> | but not from HtH, since it's only the ATTACK that ignores cover, not the LOS |
| 00:57 | < randolph_> | right |
| 00:57 | < Mantisking> | Man, this has gone totally peach shaped. |
| 00:57 | < CaGeRit> | So, if I were to stand my frame next to your frame who is tanding next to a wall, but stand him in a way that doesn't draw line through the wall then its fine? |
| 00:57 | < randolph_> | Mantis: I know! |
| 00:57 | < Mantisking> | CGR, what? |
| 00:57 | <+Tetrajak> | CGR: yes, it's fine |
| 00:57 | < CaGeRit> | @tetrajak but isn;t there no LOS? |
| 00:57 | < randolph_> | MK: I was correct from my interpretation from the beginning |
| 00:57 | <+Tetrajak> | CGR; that's the point of why the placement is ok |
| 00:57 | < randolph_> | But there were snippets of preview pdf that suggested Axhead's rule |
| 00:57 | < CaGeRit> | Then why are we arguing? |
| 00:58 | < randolph_> | We're not |
| 00:58 | < Mantisking> | I don't know! |
| 00:58 | < randolph_> | I was arguing with Axhead |
| 00:58 | <+Tetrajak> | cos I lol'd at Vincent getting angry at randolph |
| 00:58 | < randolph_> | It's not my fault! |
| 00:58 | < randolph_> | Vincent didn't read the walls of text either |
| 00:58 | < randolph_> | I mean, I don't blame him, but jesus, it's not my fault this time! |
| 00:58 | < CaGeRit> | So I was told to die by way of greeting? |
| 00:58 | < randolph_> | CGR: No, because you brought up LOS ;P |
| 00:58 | < Mantisking> | I blame my busy day at work. |
| 00:58 | <+Tetrajak> | perhaps you have bad timing in debates, randolph? |
| 00:59 | < randolph_> | TJ: Since I was the only one to argue with Axhead, probably. |
| 00:59 | < CaGeRit> | I'm seeing double. |
| 00:59 | < CaGeRit> | Two randolphs. |
| 00:59 | < Mantisking> | If I had the chance to surf the Hangar a bit more today maybe I could have shut it down. |
| 00:59 | < randolph_> | Maybe I should've just said my first piece, and then let V answer the first time |
| 00:59 | < randolph_> | CGR: There are, in fact, two of me. |
| 00:59 | < randolph_> | One is an op, the other is a mindclone |
| 01:00 | <+Tetrajak> | O_o |
| 01:00 | <+Tetrajak> | clones! |
| 01:00 | < randolph_> | What a twist <shymalan> |
| 01:00 | < CaGeRit> | Its almost like he is an ijad host. |
| 01:03 | < Mantisking> | Damn! Where did the last hour go? |
| 01:05 | < CaGeRit> | It didn't got anywhere. Time is merly a human construct to allow for the organization of events in a chronological order. |
| 01:05 | <+Tetrajak> | Time is debatable. Theoretical physicists can't seem to agree |
| 01:05 | < randolph_> | Ah, you ascribe to the constant conjunction view of causality, eh, CGR? |
| 01:06 | < randolph_> | er *subscribe |
| 01:06 | < CaGeRit> | Pretty mcuh. Or as we truckers call it, fancy shit which doesn't really mean anything. |
| 01:07 | < randolph_> | bbiab |
| 01:07 | | randolph_ [NSwebIRC@Nightstar-4c06e187.shaxon.com] has quit [[NS] Quit: Page closed] |
| 01:09 | < CaGeRit> | Or, now that I think of it, as you fancy folks would put it. I subscribe to constant conjunction inso as far as it doesn't interfer with my inner pragmatism. |
| 01:12 | < afny> | seems like that's a little deeper than your initial assessment |
| 01:12 | < afny> | or maybe truckers are just zen as balls |
| 01:13 | < afny> | or perhaps you are just a zen trucker yourself. |
| 01:13 | < CaGeRit> | You spend 11 hours a day alone in a small box. Philosophical ponderance keeps me sane. |
| 01:14 | < CaGeRit> | Seriously though, if you just like to sit and think its a great job. |
| 01:14 | < afny> | I used to sort of romanticize trucking to be honest |
| 01:14 | < afny> | I guess I still sort of do, but that fantasy definitely took a blow when I learned about methamphetamine addiction |
| 01:14 | < CaGeRit> | It isn't all its cracked up to be, but I like it. |
| 01:14 | < CaGeRit> | Not all truckers are on drugs. |
| 01:14 | < CaGeRit> | I'm not. |
| 01:15 | < afny> | no, but I feel like I would be if i was a trucker |
| 01:15 | < afny> | is what I'm saying |
| 01:15 | < CaGeRit> | Heh, half of the guys I work with don't drink because "It would be too easy to become an alchoholic" |
| 01:15 | < CaGeRit> | It is a stressful job at times. |
| 01:15 | < afny> | I didn't think you like, signed up and then you got a cab and a bottle of adderall |
| 01:16 | < CaGeRit> | Substance abuse is there. |
| 01:16 | <@McMartin> | It's all over, it's just scarier when it's behind forty tons of steel. |
| 01:16 | < afny> | well it's everywhere, to be frank |
| 01:16 | < afny> | yeah |
| 01:17 | < CaGeRit> | Tell me about it I used to be in culunary, dropped out after hearing the horror stories (and there was some other stuff too, but thats for a different time) |
| 01:17 | <@McMartin> | Heh, I knew a guy who used to run a kitchen. |
| 01:18 | <@McMartin> | Traded that job for "spend 9 hours a day baking during graveyard shift", and found that he didn't know what to do with himself now that the stress was gone. |
| 01:18 | < CaGeRit> | I'm pretty lucky actualy, I drive for a good company, my boss was a driver who worked himself into his position and understands a lot more about the industry than other dispatchers and me and my co-workers are some of the best paid in the industry as far as local dry bulk drivers go. |
| 01:19 | <@McMartin> | It's amazing how much having a good boss helps |
| 01:19 | < CaGeRit> | Truly |
| 01:30 | < Mantisking> | Okay, I'm off to do some chores and watch Cowboy Bebop. |
| 01:31 | | Tetrajak is now known as Tetrajak|away |
| 01:32 | <@randolph> | yikes |
| 01:33 | < CaGeRit> | hmm? |
| 01:33 | < afny> | sounds like a good evening |
| 01:38 | <@randolph> | just got all heavy in here |

| 01:41 | < CaGeRit> | @randolf does that help? |
| 01:41 | <@randolph> | hehe |
| 01:42 | < CaGeRit> | Well, I'm up at 4 tomarrow so I'll be taking my leave, gnight. |
| 01:42 | | CaGeRit [x@Nightstar-f0d9c21f.hr.cox.net] has left #mf0 ["["Textual IRC Client: www.textualapp.com"]"] |
| 01:51 | < afny> | So for my demo skirmish, on stations |
| 01:52 | < afny> | instead of doing flags or complicated tiling signifiers, I'm just going to do a little point on each station |
| 01:52 | < afny> | where the controlling team places a 1x1 to signify their control |
| 01:52 | < afny> | I'm thinking trans red round plate for primary attackers, trans blue round plate for 2nd attacker, and trans green tile for defenders |
| 01:53 | < afny> | do you guys think that's enough of a signifier? |
| 01:53 | < afny> | I don't have six flags of three colors |
| 01:54 | <@randolph> | I think it's enough, depending on your station |
| 01:54 | <@randolph> | Hell, stations are just spots on the ground that have no physical location, technically |
| 01:55 | <@randolph> | they could be as simple as a stud of the appropriate color on a piece of ground |
| 01:55 | < afny> | I'm making mine pretty large, or at least one large one per company |
| 01:55 | <@randolph> | btw, can you link me that company shot again? the one with the leg controversy? |
| 01:55 | < afny> | http://www.flickr.com/photos/kyanosmoros/7443410030/ |
| 01:56 | < afny> | building a station for them right now |
| 01:56 | <@randolph> | They look fine |
| 01:56 | < afny> | Ced SORT of had a point here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/kyanosmoros/7440466792/in/photostream/ |
| 01:56 | < afny> | but I think they look okay now |
| 01:57 | <@randolph> | The taps look significantly better |
| 01:57 | <@randolph> | Ced likes 'em meaty. You like them thin. |
| 01:58 | < afny> | yeah, I originally intended to use taps, but then I didn't have enough |
| 01:58 | < afny> | but I've since swapped pink taps into the Cybele's feet, so I had six after that |
| 01:58 | <@randolph> | heh |
| 01:58 | <@randolph> | Ced does have a point about realism and the implication of scale on material stress |
| 01:59 | <@randolph> | But like, in the end, it's whether it looks awesome on the table |
| 01:59 | < afny> | I do care about realism to some extent, but I think I corrected SOME of that with the greebling |
| 01:59 | <@randolph> | Well, you've heard of cheating shots right? |
| 01:59 | < afny> | not really |
| 02:00 | <@randolph> | comics/animation where they move a relevant feature slightly (to majorly) off anatomical correctness in order to make it look better/get it in the frame |
| 02:00 | <@randolph> | Some of it happens in CG (I think there was a bit in Two Towers, IIRC) |
| 02:00 | < afny> | well you don't really have that luxury in lego |
| 02:00 | < afny> | I mean, not unless you plan on ONLY displaying it through pictures |
| 02:01 | <@randolph> | No, but my point is: it's an established practice that cool trumps practical in entertainment |
| 02:01 | <@randolph> | tradition, even |
| 02:01 | < afny> | yeah, I mean, I certainly subscribe to the rule of cool |
| 02:01 | < afny> | but this setting is hard sci-fi, so I don't want to break it TOO hard |
| 02:03 | < afny> | okay, out of ideas for stations |
| 02:03 | <@randolph> | Ok, well, you're talking to the wrong person, then :P |
| 02:03 | < afny> | time to make terrain |

| 02:39 | < afny> | hey |
| 02:39 | <+FerrelFerret> | What is everyone up to? |
| 02:40 | < afny> | I'm goin' back to building stations and terrain |
| 02:40 | < afny> | gonna try to get something simple done for some elevated bits |
| 02:41 | <+FerrelFerret> | I bought some stuff to build stations |
| 02:42 | <+Tetrajak> | workin' |
| 02:42 | <+Tetrajak> | man, I really need to construct some terrain |
| 02:42 | <+Tetrajak> | well, some more practical terrain |
| 02:43 | < afny> | yeah, i'm trying to go for super practical |
| 02:43 | < afny> | some bits that are conveniently six pieces |
| 02:43 | < afny> | some that are less, but tall |
| 02:45 | <+FerrelFerret> | Yeah, I'm looking for single unit, 5x5 plate, or smaller at the base. |
| 02:47 | < afny> | I've got a few crates and rock things that are like |
| 02:47 | < afny> | 6 bricks each and can easily be grouped in twos or threes |
| 02:47 | < afny> | so they take two or three hits |
| 02:49 | <+Tetrajak> | man, I still really want to make a multi-vertical-level map |
| 02:49 | <+Tetrajak> | I'm not sure how I'd do it so you could easily shoot holes in the floor, but I've got some ideas |
| 02:49 | | Ced|Sleep [Ced@Nightstar-10888d0b.adsl.alicedsl.de] has joined #mf0 |
| 02:50 | < afny> | yeah, that's such a cool concept |
| 02:50 | < afny> | I'm sure it could be done, especially if they players agreed not to shoot certain parts of the structure |

| 02:51 | <@randolph> | ^ updated |
| 02:59 | < afny> | hey, so |
| 02:59 | < afny> | if I've got a frame |
| 02:59 | < afny> | and it's in cover behind two rocks |
| 02:59 | < afny> | like, say, two rocks that are independent of each other, and each of them is made out of four bricks |
| 03:00 | < afny> | and an attacker targets me and his attack does two damage to cover |
| 03:00 | < afny> | do I count myself as in cover behind ONE of the rocks, and remove it |
| 03:00 | < afny> | or behind BOTH of the rocks, and remove one and do damage to the other? |
| 03:04 | <@randolph> | The defender picks which piece of contiguous cover he is currently using for that attack |
| 03:04 | <@randolph> | The attacker picks which bricks of damaged cover he is allotted by his roll too destroy from THAT piece of cover, only. |
| 03:04 | <@randolph> | AFAIK, anyway. |
| 03:04 | <@randolph> | Actually heh. |
| 03:05 | <@randolph> | It's probably KISS |
| 03:05 | <@randolph> | Anytime a 4 comes up "are you behind any cover still?" |
| 03:05 | <@randolph> | if yes, pick which one, he starts chewing through it |
| 03:05 | <@randolph> | 4 or 5 |
| 03:05 | < afny> | that's the thing, it's like |
| 03:05 | < afny> | okay, say a BUNCH of fours come up |
| 03:05 | < afny> | say three fours |
| 03:05 | < afny> | and the first four would chew through 6 bricks of cover |
| 03:05 | <@randolph> | I think for EACH four, he picks a thing and chews through it |
| 03:06 | < afny> | but what if it's four trees that are single bricks |
| 03:06 | < afny> | one tree four each four |
| 03:06 | < afny> | or four trees on the first blow? |
| 03:06 | <@randolph> | That's one for Vincent / Josh / MK sorry :x |

| 04:30 | < afny> | well I've used almost all of my brown, tan, and green making organic cover |
| 04:30 | < afny> | the rest will have to be inorganic |
| 04:30 | < afny> | well, I suppose I can do old grey rocks |

| 05:05 | < Mantisking> | Hello? |
| 05:08 | < afny> | hey |
| 05:08 | < afny> | https://dl.dropbox.com/u/84803929/Demo%20Terrain.JPG |
| 05:09 | < Mantisking> | I can't click on it due to my pop-up blocker. |
| 05:09 | < afny> | badness |
| 05:10 | < Mantisking> | What is it? |
| 05:10 | < afny> | just some terrain |
| 05:10 | < Mantisking> | that could be anything. :-) |
| 05:10 | < afny> | mostly stuff I copied from Soren (surprise surprise) |
| 05:11 | < afny> | lots of 1x2 tan lumber bricks done up like rock pillars |
| 05:11 | < afny> | some trees, some basalt |
| 05:11 | < afny> | a giant palm tree for no reason |
| 05:11 | < Mantisking> | Sounds cool. |
| 05:11 | < afny> | I think it's somewhere around half of what I'll need for a 3way skirmish |
| 05:11 | < afny> | but I'm not sure |
| 05:11 | < Mantisking> | I built a mech for the 3T challenge. |
| 05:11 | < afny> | did you post it? |
| 05:12 | < Mantisking> | Nope. It's a little dark here for photos. |
| 05:12 | < afny> | what's it's thing |
| 05:14 | <@Ced23Ric> | Kev. |
| 05:14 | < afny> | ? |
| 05:14 | <@Ced23Ric> | That cover is not very durable. |
| 05:14 | < afny> | nope |
| 05:14 | < Mantisking> | Dude, does it really matter? |
| 05:15 | <@Ced23Ric> | Well, let me reword it. |
| 05:15 | <@Ced23Ric> | I think there is almost no cover to speak off. |
| 05:15 | <@Ced23Ric> | And, yes, yes it does. |
| 05:15 | < afny> | each one of those things, alone |
| 05:15 | < afny> | is at least one damage of cover |
| 05:15 | < afny> | and grouped together, more |
| 05:15 | < afny> | like, they aren't necessarily intended to be alone |
| 05:15 | < afny> | you would hide behind all three of those crates, for example, or a group of pillars |
| 05:15 | <@Ced23Ric> | Cover is a) an integral part of the game. And b), it's even explicitely mentioned in the rules. |
| 05:16 | < afny> | cover doesn't have to be a contiguous piece of building to be durable |
| 05:16 | < afny> | it just has to be between you and your attacker |
| 05:16 | <@Ced23Ric> | Mhmm, I actually take my statement back by a few magnitudes. |
| 05:16 | < Mantisking> | Dude, there was a whole topic about it on the Hangar. It doesn't all have to be cover. |
| 05:17 | < afny> | pretty much everything here is intended to be cover, except for the stations I suppose |
| 05:17 | <@Ced23Ric> | It's just not a lot of cover. |
| 05:17 | < afny> | the bigger bits are 2-3 hits |
| 05:17 | < afny> | the smaller bits are 1 |
| 05:17 | <@Ced23Ric> | And: "1 dmg of cover" might aswell be no cover the way damage to cover is resolved. |
| 05:17 | < afny> | I figure I need about twice this much cover for a 3 way skirmish |
| 05:17 | < afny> | again, I don't plan on placing to many bits of 1 damage cover by themselves |
| 05:18 | < afny> | obviously it isn't smart to hide behind a lone bush in the middle of a field |
| 05:18 | <@Ced23Ric> | Mhmm, mhmm. |
| 05:18 | <@Ced23Ric> | Heh. :D |
| 05:19 | < afny> | http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ltmMJntSfQI |
| 05:19 | < Mantisking> | So, Afny, the mech is basically a cross between my Block Chest and SpAAT mechs. |
| 05:19 | < afny> | you've definitely got a leg up on pretty much everyone else in that contest |
| 05:20 | < Mantisking> | There's still more in my Flickr stream. |
| 05:20 | < Mantisking> | Although I was called smug for using them. |
| 05:21 | < Mantisking> | And, Ced, it's only been six years of Mechaton -- not a decade. |
| 05:21 | < afny> | Well it isn't like you can be disqualified from a challenge with no prizes |
| 05:21 | <@Ced23Ric> | Manner of speech. |

| 06:30 | <@Ced23Ric> | Sorry. Had a call. |
| 06:30 | <@Soren> | nah, it's cool. |
| 06:30 | <@Ced23Ric> | "HOW CAN I COPY A HEADLINE IN EXCEL." - "Did you try Ctrl - C for copy?" - "WHAT HEATHEN MAGIC IS THIS?!" |
| 06:31 | <@Ced23Ric> | And: I approve of your feline yearnings. |
| 06:31 | <@Ced23Ric> | May your cat live long and prosper. |
| 06:31 | <@Soren> | well, she's gold-plated now. It's not a cheap process. |
| 06:34 | <@Ced23Ric> | ... I assume you are implying moving a cat from the Rockies to KL is expensive as balls. |
| 06:34 | <@Soren> | yes |
| 06:35 | <@Ced23Ric> | What did that run ya? |
| 06:35 | <@Soren> | tallying up, close to $750. |
| 06:36 | <@Ced23Ric> | You really like that cat. |
| 06:36 | <@Soren> | we do. |
| 06:36 | <@Ced23Ric> | Well, I can't really complain, though. |
| 06:37 | <@Soren> | probably more, I think I'm missing something in there. |
| 06:37 | <@Ced23Ric> | Lady Lillian, our nigh 15 years old living room tiger, had two vertebraes pop. |
| 06:37 | <@Ced23Ric> | And that shit ain't cheap either. |
| 06:37 | <@Soren> | no. |
| 06:38 | <@Ced23Ric> | And Paula, the drooly cat, which was abandoned by her previous owners/ex-neighbors, has a rare disease with her digestive system that makes her teeth rot and hinders her from gaining weight and keeping the food down. |
| 06:38 | <@Ced23Ric> | Those surgery bills and medication don't come for free, either. |
| 06:38 | <@Ced23Ric> | But, hey. |
| 06:38 | <@Ced23Ric> | You are annoyed when you foot the bill. |
| 06:38 | <@Ced23Ric> | But there's just nothing like watching TV with a furry ball of purrs in your lap. |
| 06:39 | <@Soren> | yeah |
| 06:39 | <@Ced23Ric> | Or going to bed and the cat(s) already waiting for you, to curl up and sleep next to you. |
| 06:39 | <@Soren> | well, and she's the sweetest little cat. |
| 06:39 | <@Soren> | crazy as snakeshit, but very sweet. |
| 06:39 | <@Ced23Ric> | I was gone for 5 years, right? Lilly immediately recognized me again and slept next to me every night in the guest room. |
| 06:40 | <@Ced23Ric> | Can't argue against that. |
| 06:40 | <@Soren> | our cat will burrow under the covers with you when it's cold. Pretty adorable. |
| 06:40 | <@Ced23Ric> | And that certainly is more than "I SEEK WARMTH. PET ME." |
| 06:40 | <@Ced23Ric> | Because ... with her fucked up back, jumping on the bed is painful for her. And she doesn't even want to be pet(ted? sp?). |
| 06:40 | <@Soren> | God help us if she ever figures out how cute she is. |
| 06:41 | <@Ced23Ric> | I know. |
| 06:41 | <@Soren> | aww. |
| 06:41 | <@Ced23Ric> | When she uses her power for evil. D: |
| 06:41 | <@Ced23Ric> | Well, she hops up, claws into the sheet and PULLS herself because her hindlegs don't provide enough thrust. |
| 06:41 | <@Ced23Ric> | And she yelps, but then curls up. |
| 06:41 | <@Soren> | She's pretty brazen. She likes to flop her front half up on your chest and then glare down at you. |
| 06:41 | <@Soren> | "You know the drill. Pet me." |
| 06:41 | <@Ced23Ric> | So, I won't ever push that cat away. |
| 06:42 | <@Soren> | that's sad, but also heartwarming. |
| 06:42 | <@Ced23Ric> | Yeah. She's old, man. She's old. |
| 06:42 | <@Ced23Ric> | Got her with like 6 weeks on the clock. |
| 06:42 | <@Ced23Ric> | Now that furrball is nigh 15 years old. |
| 06:42 | <@Ced23Ric> | We moved in summer '98, and got her in fall. |
| 06:44 | <@Ced23Ric> | Oh my. |
| 06:44 | <@Ced23Ric> | Call comes in. |
| 06:45 | <@Ced23Ric> | "Rasch, system administration, how may I help you?" - "Morning, Soandso, is Mr. Thisnthat there?" - "Nah, user help desk starts at 8." - "Oh, okay. I'll try around 9 then." - " ... they start at 8." - "Oh! Okay!" |
| 06:47 | <@Soren> | sometimes I think human communication happens along entirely nonverbal vectors. |
| 06:48 | <@randolph> | Nah, people just use that for CRC~ |
| 06:48 | <@randolph> | (hey Soren, Ced) |
| 06:48 | <@Ced23Ric> | Here's my newest favourite call. |
| 06:49 | <@Ced23Ric> | "We're asking whether you could check the laptop/projector set up in room XYZ." - "We set that up 30 minutes before the meeting." - "Are you sure?" - " ... yes." |
| 06:50 | <@Ced23Ric> | The people are apparently assuming that we open the doors, throw the equip on the closest table and run away as fast as possible. |
| 06:52 | <@Soren> | "they gave me a dead squirrel and a binder with 'LAPTOP' written on it. What am I supposed to do?" |
| 06:53 | <@Ced23Ric> | Yeah. |
| 06:53 | <@Ced23Ric> | I had to explain to another lady yesterday that we won't show up 5 mins prior to a meeting to run a check. |
| 06:53 | <@Ced23Ric> | a.) We wouldn't have enough time to react to faults anyway. |
| 06:53 | <@Ced23Ric> | b.) we set up 30 mins prior and run a check, and don't leave before all works. |
| 06:53 | <@Ced23Ric> | And she was flabbergasted. |
| 06:53 | <@Ced23Ric> | "REALLY?!" |
| 06:54 | <@Ced23Ric> | "Yes, Ma'am, that is part of our standing method of operation. No setup is deemed done until working." |
| 06:54 | <@Ced23Ric> | "WOW." |
| 06:54 | <@Ced23Ric> | I wished for a third hand to hold the telephone while I was dualfacepalming. |
| 07:12 | <@Soren> | next time, just give them the dead squirrel. |
| 07:14 | <@Ced23Ric> | I wish I had some. Sigh. |
| 07:14 | <@Ced23Ric> | The state secretary just called. |
| 07:15 | <@Ced23Ric> | "Everytime I want to print, it asks me to save a file. Why?" - " *logs on* *looks* Mhmm. Maybe ... yeah. That's it. You are using the virtual TIF printer." - "What?" - "No worries, Sir. *deletes printer*" |
| 07:17 | <@Soren> | http://www.astronautix.com/fam/gunnched.htm I want to see where you will take this piece of information. |
| 07:18 | <@Soren> | "This was to prove the feasibility of using large guns for launch of scientific and military payloads on sub-orbital and orbital trajectories. " |
| 07:20 | <@Ced23Ric> | The ability of a supergun to launch low cost satellites is usually the sole attribute discussed when gun-launched satellites are compared to those orbited by conventional launchers. However the supergun's real potential is not only low cost, but also the ability to launch a vast numbers of satellites each year in all kinds of weather. Interest in superguns as weapons of war and as space launchers |
| 07:20 | <@Ced23Ric> | continues in China and Iraq. |
| 07:20 | <@Ced23Ric> | I don't even. |
| 07:20 | <@Ced23Ric> | "SHOOT THE MOON." - "Err ..." - "JUST DO IT." |
| 07:21 | <@Soren> | This also seems like the kind of thing a cash-strapped colony would use to shoot down satellites. |
| 07:23 | <@Ced23Ric> | Or ... launch them. |
| 07:24 | <@Soren> | well, yeah. If you can do one you're most of the way to doing the other. |

| 07:28 | <@randolph> | I don't want to be anywhere near the test site. |
| 07:29 | <@Soren> | that seems basically sane |

| 07:57 | < Carbonbass> | Hey |
| 07:58 | <+Tetrajak> | So, question for all those who are here and active; how much area of a concrete floor, in, say, a multi-level mech construction area, could a DF range weapon destroy? (measured in lego studs) |
| 08:00 | < Carbonbass> | Herm... |
| 08:01 | <+Tetrajak> | I ask because I wish to design modular terrain that is easy to destroy, for such a thing as a multi-vertical-level battlefield |
| 08:05 | < Carbonbass> | I would say at least 4x4 or 4x6 |
| 08:05 | < Carbonbass> | lol, shoot the floor out from under another frame. Dirty move. |
| 08:06 | <+Tetrajak> | exactly, or drop the ceiling onto another frame |
| 08:07 | < Carbonbass> | damn that sounds cool. I might have to work on something like that. |
| 08:07 | <+Tetrajak> | hmm, I guess I should really be thinking about it in terms of balance |
| 08:07 | <+Tetrajak> | rather than reality of weapons |
| 08:07 | < Carbonbass> | Yeah |
| 08:08 | <@Ced23Ric> | Well. |
| 08:08 | <+Tetrajak> | so I should probably scope it such that a single shot against cover could almost guarantee to destroy the floor under a frame, but shots that happen to hit cover while aiming at a frame don't necessarily destroy the floor, unless there are high numbers involved |
| 08:08 | <@Ced23Ric> | If the floor is meant to carry a 'frame, it will be thick. |
| 08:08 | <@Ced23Ric> | You have 2 tons of weight on a narrow surface. |
| 08:08 | <@Ced23Ric> | It ain't a car. |
| 08:08 | <+Tetrajak> | anywho, I'm off to dinner |
| 08:08 | <+Tetrajak> | ttyl everyone |
| 08:08 | | Tetrajak [NSwebIRC@Nightstar-5d36f84e.telstraclear.net] has quit [[NS] Quit: ] |
| 08:08 | <@Ced23Ric> | SURE, |
| 08:09 | <@Ced23Ric> | IGNORE MY INSIGHTS. |
| 08:09 | <@Ced23Ric> | DICK. |
| 08:09 | < Carbonbass> | OFF WITH HIS HEAD! |
| 08:10 | <@Ced23Ric> | EXACTLY. |
| 08:11 | <@Ced23Ric> | Heh. |
| 08:11 | <@Ced23Ric> | HR just sent an email to our group. |
| 08:11 | <@Ced23Ric> | "Just a reminder, we need your hours for this month." |
| 08:11 | <@Ced23Ric> | So I planned this month AND next month. |
| 08:11 | <@Ced23Ric> | So boss. |
| 08:12 | <@Ced23Ric> | Time to sip coffee, look into the vague distance with shades on and listen to Feint in the background. |
| 08:12 | <@Ced23Ric> | http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JPPRpa1iU8g&feature=autoplay&list=PL828E71B2B46F0 1A7&playnext=8 |
| 08:14 | < Carbonbass> | lol |
| 08:16 | < Carbonbass> | Wow, having a hell of a time finding a BL store with a good stock of grey Travis bricks. |
| 08:18 | < Carbonbass> | Found a couple stores that each have 50 or so, but damn everyone else has like 2-10 and asking nearly a whole dollar for each of them. |
| 08:24 | <@randolph> | CB |
| 08:24 | <@randolph> | When I started MFZ, travis bricks were $0.10-15/ea |
| 08:25 | <@randolph> | When I checked last month, most were just under PAB :p |
| 08:25 | < Carbonbass> | *facepalm* searched Grey, not bluish gray |
| 08:25 | <@randolph> | I'm wondering how they're making profit at those prices, anyway. There's gotta be some sets out there they're cannibalizing for tbricks |
| 08:27 | <@Ced23Ric> | Randy: We spoke about this. :D |
| 08:27 | <@randolph> | We did? |
| 08:27 | <@Ced23Ric> | Chinese mass-manufacturing! |
| 08:27 | <@randolph> | oh |
| 08:27 | <@randolph> | right |
| 08:27 | <@Ced23Ric> | ;) |
| 08:28 | <@randolph> | Gray market failed to stick to my brain for some reason |
| 08:28 | <@Ced23Ric> | Heh. |
| 08:28 | <@Ced23Ric> | "grey market". Nice. |
| 08:28 | <@Ced23Ric> | I keep forgetting that exists. |
| 08:28 | <@randolph> | Me too~ |
| 08:28 | <@Ced23Ric> | The concept is hilariously audacious. |
| 08:28 | <@Ced23Ric> | "WE'RE ILLEGAL. AND RIGHT IN THE OPEN. HAH." |
| 08:29 | <@randolph> | Lots of stuff stops being illegal as soon as you enter China |
| 08:29 | <@randolph> | (and plenty more becomes illegal) |
| 08:29 | <@Ced23Ric> | I was gonna say. |
| 08:30 | <@Ced23Ric> | China is pretty hilarious that way. |
| 08:30 | <@randolph> | WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT GLORIOUS FREE REPUBLIC OF FREEDOMS DENIES NOTHING |
| 08:30 | < Carbonbass> | So I searched for light *bluish* grey this time. Much better results. |
| 08:30 | <@randolph> | WHY ARE YOU GOOGLING DEMOCRACY |
| 08:30 | <@Ced23Ric> | CB: There is only one problem with that problem. |
| 08:30 | <@Ced23Ric> | Err. |
| 08:30 | <@Ced23Ric> | Search. |
| 08:30 | <@Ced23Ric> | With that search. |
| 08:30 | <@Ced23Ric> | You are looking for light bley. |
| 08:30 | < Carbonbass> | :P |
| 08:30 | <@Ced23Ric> | :P |
| 08:31 | <@randolph> | Did you want light bluish gray or dark bluish gray? |
| 08:31 | <@Ced23Ric> | He should want dark bley. |
| 08:32 | < Carbonbass> | Trying to keep base frame light bluish grey, then all the extra bits and armor dark blueish gray |
| 08:33 | < Carbonbass> | Dark bluish would work just as well |
| 08:33 | <@randolph> | Really workin' that brushed/machined metal look, eh? |
| 08:35 | <@Ced23Ric> | BRB, walking off my 2.5h-in-sleepyness. |
| 08:36 | < Carbonbass> | It looks good for this frame, I'll add a splash of dark red to them eventually |
| 08:36 | <@randolph> | I'm working on recalcitrant transforming legs |
| 08:37 | < Carbonbass> | mmmmhhhmmm transforming legs |
| 08:37 | <@randolph> | flight form looks good now, let's try this... |
| 08:40 | <@randolph> | Augh spindly as hell |
| 08:43 | < Carbonbass> | Hmmm. I wonder if I should go all black with the frame, then do tan armor/externals. |
| 08:43 | <@randolph> | Do you use LDD/MLCAD at all? |
| 08:44 | <@randolph> | If so, you can try it out |
| 08:44 | < Carbonbass> | Yeah I'll go recolor the model I made LDD real quick |
| 08:56 | < Carbonbass> | Meyh, it looks a bit too Tau like that. |
| 08:56 | <@randolph> | nothing wrong with that |
| 08:58 | < Carbonbass> | There isn't, just not really the look I want. |
| 09:10 | <@Ced23Ric> | Alright. |
| 09:10 | <@Ced23Ric> | This is so weird. :D |
| 09:10 | <@Ced23Ric> | I am starting to really like this job. |
| 09:10 | <@Ced23Ric> | It's like it made an 180 turn. |
| 09:10 | <@Ced23Ric> | a? an?` |
| 09:11 | <@Ced23Ric> | Vowel with consonant sound? |
| 09:11 | <@Ced23Ric> | A one-eighty? |
| 09:13 | < Carbonbass> | Hell yeah, this guy is buying my Black Templars. Gonna have more Lego money real soon. |
| 09:16 | < Carbonbass> | Herm, I need to go ahead and design some more frames so I can make some OpFor companies for demoing this at the lgs |
| 09:17 | <@Ced23Ric> | Can I design them for you? :D |
| 09:17 | <@Ced23Ric> | I am running out of feasible projects. |
| 09:18 | <@Ced23Ric> | I think 6 companies is already too much. |
| 09:20 | < Carbonbass> | If I rebuild my Highlander company that takes care of one, been meaning to do that anyways. |
| 09:22 | < Carbonbass> | Well I'm off for tonight, already stayed up way too late as it is |
| 09:23 | <@Ced23Ric> | Later, man. |

| 10:34 | <@Soren> | night |
| 10:34 | <@Ced23Ric> | THis is odd. |
| 10:34 | <@Ced23Ric> | Somehow, the script that just changed all local admin passwords ... |
| 10:35 | <@Ced23Ric> | ... stops me from using the local admin. |
| 10:39 | <@Soren> | holy SHIT that cat is angry with me. |
| 10:39 | <@Soren> | if she had eye lasers there'd be a hole in my head. |
| 10:45 | <@Soren> | "I'm starring in a one-cat production of Fuck All Of You, The Musical." |
| 10:46 | <@Ced23Ric> | What ... what did you do? |
| 10:46 | <@Ced23Ric> | OH. |
| 10:46 | <@Ced23Ric> | I REMEMBER. |
| 10:46 | <@Ced23Ric> | YOU TRANSLOCATED HER. |
| 10:46 | <@Ced23Ric> | THOUSANDS OF MILES. |
| 10:46 | <@Ced23Ric> | You need tuna, ASAP. |
| 10:46 | <@Soren> | already tuna'd |
| 10:46 | <@Soren> | I know how this game is played. |
| 10:47 | <@Ced23Ric> | How did the tuna go over? |
| 10:48 | <@Soren> | she scarfed it and went back to her hidey hole. |
| 10:48 | <@Ced23Ric> | Heh. |
| 10:48 | <@Soren> | moreover, she scarfed it while trying to make noises of tiny misery and woe, which was hilarious. |
| 10:48 | <@Soren> | mrrfrgl. |
| 10:48 | <@Soren> | miawurglh |
| 10:48 | <@Ced23Ric> | Aww. |
| 10:48 | <@Ced23Ric> | Poor thing. |
| 10:48 | <@Soren> | yeah. |
| 10:49 | <@Soren> | It's bad. |
| 10:49 | <@Ced23Ric> | "I AM SO UNHAPPY. YUM, TUNA. WOE IS ME." |
| 10:49 | <@Soren> | She might forgive us in a month. Maybe. |
| 10:49 | <@Ced23Ric> | Nah, she'll be fine in a few days. :D |
| 10:49 | <@Soren> | Hope so. |
| 10:49 | <@Ced23Ric> | I had cats claw my neck open, and curse my entire existence generations to come for moving them. |
| 10:49 | <@Ced23Ric> | Three days later, furrface was all purry again. |
| 10:50 | <@Ced23Ric> | They have bad tempers, but are quite forgiving. :D |
| 10:50 | <@Ced23Ric> | The urge for warmth and pettings rules supreme in the end. |
| 10:50 | <@Ced23Ric> | Hey, Soren, what'chu figure a 0245 city looks like? |
| 10:51 | <@Ced23Ric> | I somehow think about hover trains or high monorails. |
| 10:51 | <@Soren> | Very dense. |
| 10:51 | <@Soren> | Efficient. |
| 10:51 | <@Ced23Ric> | Maybe ... maybe I build some superstructure from wood. |
| 10:51 | <@Ced23Ric> | And coat it in Legos. |
| 10:52 | <@Soren> | Singapore meets Manhattan meets West Berlin. |
| 10:52 | <@Ced23Ric> | Y'know, get some rough shapes going, with depressions and elevations. |
| 10:52 | <@Soren> | mm. |
| 10:52 | <@Ced23Ric> | It's not that hard to mount lego plates. |
| 10:52 | <@Soren> | no. |
| 10:52 | <@Ced23Ric> | Could use halfpins. |
| 10:52 | <@Soren> | hard to mount them buildably. |
| 10:53 | <@Ced23Ric> | Well, here is my idea. |
| 10:53 | <@Ced23Ric> | Find a drill bit the size of a technic pin hole. |
| 10:53 | <@Ced23Ric> | Take a 2x10 technic plate as a guide. |
| 10:53 | <@Ced23Ric> | And coat the wooden structure with 10x10 plates. |
| 10:53 | <@Ced23Ric> | On halfpins squeezed into the holes. |
| 10:54 | <@Ced23Ric> | Then it's studs galore. |
| 10:54 | <@Ced23Ric> | And I save on bricks internally and even get some cool depressions. |
| 10:54 | <@Ced23Ric> | And elevation, obvy. |
| 10:55 | <@Ced23Ric> | I gotta check if I can still contact the woodshop I know in Hamburg. |
| 10:55 | <@Ced23Ric> | Maybe visit the boss there, and invent a system of snap-in parts. |
| 10:57 | <@Soren> | not a bad plan. |
| 10:58 | <@Soren> | Anyway, yeah. I would imagine lots of elevated trains, commuter walkways - very Fifth-Element. Crowded, but not dirty, awful, or especially dystopian |
| 11:06 | <@Ced23Ric> | Mhmm, mhmm. |
| 11:06 | <@Ced23Ric> | Bad place for 'frames to conduct warfare, eh? :D |
| 11:07 | <@Soren> | a great place for frames to conduct all sort of horribleness. |
| 11:07 | <@Ced23Ric> | I am thinking, evil marauders/bank robbers vs. squeaky clean police 'frames, tearing up the area. |
| 11:07 | <@Soren> | From the perspective of people who don't live there, for whom the violence isn't real. |
| 11:08 | <@Ced23Ric> | Well, if you went for a coffee only to walk out into a mechanized 4ton hulk stomp by, peppering the cover of a black, spikey machine with bullets ... where cover is the burning bus full of school kids ... |
| 11:08 | <@Ced23Ric> | You might go back inside for decaf. |
| 11:08 | <@Ced23Ric> | Or a brownie. |
| 11:08 | <@Soren> | yeah. |
| 11:10 | <@Ced23Ric> | Now I wanna build a diorama. |
| 11:10 | <@Ced23Ric> | "HEAT 0245" |
| 11:12 | <@Soren> | indeed. And that's a good scenario to start from. |
| 11:12 | <@Ced23Ric> | I'll be honest with you. |
| 11:13 | <@Ced23Ric> | It would be a mere display piece. |
| 11:13 | <@Ced23Ric> | And I won't build anything that's not gonna get played on. |
| 11:13 | <@Soren> | that's more than fair. |
| 11:13 | <@Ced23Ric> | But as I was laying it out in my head, I got some neat ideas for cover and buildings and such. |
| 11:14 | <@Ced23Ric> | New goal: Design a cityscape, one half bombed out/shot to shit, the other still intact. |
| 11:14 | <@Ced23Ric> | And then, fight over the city. |
| 11:21 | <@Soren> | the pictures should be good. |
| 11:25 | <@Ced23Ric> | I need a massive lightbox. |
| 11:25 | <@Ced23Ric> | Or ... daylight. |
| 11:26 | <@Ced23Ric> | Mhmm. |
| 11:26 | <@Ced23Ric> | I think I also nee meeples to go splat. |

| 15:30 | <@Ced23Ric> | Where arty is nigh useless. |
| 15:30 | <@Ced23Ric> | And DF/HtH reigns supreme. |

| 15:31 | <+MittenNinja> | id love to see (and play) that |
| 15:36 | <@Ced23Ric> | I had some thoughts on mutliple levels, too. |
| 15:36 | <@Ced23Ric> | Like, a fabrication plant. |
| 15:36 | <@Ced23Ric> | Where you can climb the roof. |
| 15:36 | <@Ced23Ric> | And shoot through sky lights. |
| 15:37 | <@Ced23Ric> | And risk having the ground shot out from underneath you. :D |
| 15:37 | <@Ced23Ric> | And maybe even a sewer channel section. |
| 15:37 | <+MittenNinja> | Oh man |
| 15:38 | <+MittenNinja> | thatd be cool |
| 15:38 | <+MittenNinja> | I want to start collecting bricks to make some serious urban terrain |

| 17:51 | < afny> | Scumbag CC |
| 17:51 | < afny> | says "pretty much by definition" |
| 17:51 | < afny> | doesn't own a dictionary. |
| 17:53 | <@Ced23Ric> | Heh. |
| 17:53 | <@Ced23Ric> | Definition = his frame of thought. |
| 17:59 | < afny> | the preview pdf was linked on Penny Arcade |
| 17:59 | < afny> | it wasn't just for backers |
| 17:59 | < afny> | (I know you didn't say that) |
| 18:00 | <@Ced23Ric> | Yeah. |
| 18:00 | <@Ced23Ric> | Also, I wonder what CC thinks robotic arms do. |
| 18:01 | <@Ced23Ric> | At the conveyor line: "This job sucks. Boo. Painting cars all day blows. Fuck this, I'mma paint a penis on the next one." |
| 18:01 | < afny> | they contemplate the mysteries of life |
| 18:01 | < afny> | they're stoics. |
| 18:01 | <@Ced23Ric> | "WHO AM I. WHY AM I." |
| 18:12 | < afny> | urk |
| 18:12 | < afny> | after lunch I have to dig for bricks |
| 18:12 | < afny> | I think I can get away with using black, white, old light grey, and black |
| 18:12 | < afny> | as inorganic cover |
| 18:12 | < afny> | combined with my little bit of light blue 1x2 brick |
| 18:12 | < afny> | Don't know what I'm going to do about elevation, I want at least two little elevated points |
| 18:15 | < afny> | if I have enough 2x6 or 2x8 bricks in the same color |
| 18:15 | < afny> | I might build pillars of bricks on their side |
| 18:21 | < afny> | I think I miscalculated |
| 18:21 | < afny> | about the amount of TEA I'd need this morning |
| 18:21 | < afny> | made a whole pot, and I'm going to a tea room for lunch |
| 18:21 | < afny> | I love tea, but can I REALLY chug two pots in two hours without throwing up |
| 18:44 | <@Ced23Ric> | Mhmm. |

| 20:30 | <@Ced23Ric> | Heya TJ. |
| 20:30 | <@Ced23Ric> | http://youtu.be/R5MN2D__uH4 <-- TEH GAEM VIDJA! |
| 20:30 | <+Tetrajak> | oh yay! |
| 20:30 | <+Tetrajak> | 2 and a half hours O_O |
| 20:31 | <@Ced23Ric> | Yeah, we cut 45 mins of footage. |
| 20:31 | <+Tetrajak> | it's still really long |
| 20:31 | <+Tetrajak> | Is the original recorded resolution greater than that of youtube? |
| 20:32 | <@Ced23Ric> | 1080p. |
| 20:32 | <@Ced23Ric> | Reduced to 720p. |
| 20:32 | <@Ced23Ric> | Reduced to failboat. |
| 20:32 | <@Ced23Ric> | THe CMOS sensor of the cam sucked because of the lighting. |
| 20:32 | <+Tetrajak> | If you find you have several spare hours... or days, you could fast forward it until moves are being made, and then crop to that specific area |
| 20:32 | <+Tetrajak> | subtitles with what is being done would be useful to |
| 20:32 | <+Tetrajak> | too |
| 20:33 | <+Tetrajak> | but I realise that's a heck of a lot of work |
| 20:33 | <@Ced23Ric> | There's a timeline in the forum. |

| 20:34 | <+Tetrajak> | I am suddenly foreseeing a lot of tidying up after an mfz game.... |
| 20:35 | <@Ced23Ric> | http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gPMZcCNXxME&feature=related <--- LOL |
| 20:35 | <@Ced23Ric> | I don't even know that guy! |
| 20:36 | <+Tetrajak> | what are you loling about in that vid? |
| 20:36 | <@Ced23Ric> | It's my 'frame. |
| 20:36 | <+Tetrajak> | what, in that vid, are you loling about* |
| 20:36 | <+Tetrajak> | oooooh |
| 20:36 | <+Tetrajak> | heh |
| 20:36 | <@Ced23Ric> | Read the description. |
| 20:36 | <+Tetrajak> | yea, I had someone I didn't know make one of my walking tanks |
| 20:37 | <@Ced23Ric> | Sweet. :D |
| 20:37 | <+Tetrajak> | very :D |
| 20:37 | <+Tetrajak> | I don't imagine anyone else is going to go to the trouble of building a Venus, other than me XD |
| 20:38 | <+Tetrajak> | by way of related news; ordering the bricks on Friday |
| 20:38 | <+Tetrajak> | and I have a sizeable portion of the necessary parts already, as it turns out :D |
| 20:38 | <@randolph> | Hey guys |
| 20:39 | <+Tetrajak> | I discovered this on Sunday, while rebuilding my harddrive, and spending the waiting time stacking bricks and plates of the same colour and type |
| 20:39 | <+Tetrajak> | heya randolph |
| 20:39 | <@Ced23Ric> | Randy: I agree with you. |
| 20:39 | <@randolph> | I know |
| 20:39 | <+Tetrajak> | my lego collection looks like someone with OCD had a field day organising it... which is somewhat true |
| 20:39 | <@randolph> | You're the only one who bothered :P |
| 20:39 | <@randolph> | I think it's the technical language angle |
| 20:39 | <+Tetrajak> | what are you two referring to? |
| 20:39 | <@randolph> | A lot of people just "grok" it |
| 20:40 | <@randolph> | I did too |
| 20:40 | <@randolph> | but I also see how it could be confusing |
| 20:40 | <@Ced23Ric> | Well, they need to stop derping when they need to herp. |
| 20:40 | | afny|away is now known as afny |
| 20:40 | <@Ced23Ric> | There is actually nigh-nothing confusing about it when you take a step back. |
| 20:40 | <@randolph> | TJ: That stupid rules qestion |
| 20:40 | <+Tetrajak> | oooooh |
| 20:40 | < afny> | @TJ, no, but they already went to the trouble of building an Aphrodite :| |
| 20:40 | <+Tetrajak> | lol |
| 20:40 | <@randolph> | Ced: Right, but it relies on 2nd-order emergence |
| 20:40 | <@randolph> | I dunno, that's asking an awful lot of the average player |
| 20:40 | <@Ced23Ric> | R: If POV #1 fails, try POV #2. |
| 20:41 | <+Tetrajak> | afny: you are correct XD but now the Aphrodite will make it to the No BS, Just ABS blog "The List" |
| 20:41 | < afny> | Wow Ced you weren't lying about the house music |
| 20:41 | <@Ced23Ric> | No, I was not. |
| 20:41 | <@Ced23Ric> | Fatboy Slim, baby. |
| 20:41 | <@Ced23Ric> | It's the entire "Dance Harder, Bitch!" album. |
| 20:41 | <@Ced23Ric> | Pounding from the sub woofer. |
| 20:42 | < afny> | what's the piece of paper for |
| 20:42 | <@Ced23Ric> | Well, you CAN'T read it, but ... |
| 20:42 | < afny> | i'm skipping around, it was at 23 |
| 20:42 | <@Ced23Ric> | It reads "smokebreak". |
| 20:42 | < afny> | ah |
| 20:42 | <@Ced23Ric> | And occurs after every turn. |
| 20:42 | <@Ced23Ric> | There is going to be a second paper. |
| 20:42 | <@Ced23Ric> | It has the Ini written on it. |
| 20:42 | <@Ced23Ric> | You cannot read it either. |
| 20:43 | <@Ced23Ric> | We're pro like that. |
| 20:43 | < afny> | you need some fat ass markers |
| 20:43 | <@Ced23Ric> | We need a better camera is what. |
| 20:43 | <@Ced23Ric> | That tiny little HD action cam sucked balls. |

| 22:05 | < afny> | er...+ly |
| 22:06 | < Carbonbass> | That's pretty damn cool actually |
| 22:07 | < afny> | inorganic terrain is proving a challenge |
| 22:07 | < afny> | I really don't know how MUCH cover I need for a 3 player skirmish |
| 22:08 | < afny> | I think those big 1piece rocks are going to have a bunch of black bricks on parts of them to make them elevated terrain |
