| 00:58 | <+MittenNinja> | sup fellas |
| 01:01 | < Mantisking> | Sup MN. |
| 01:04 | <+MittenNinja> | Hows it goin? |
| 01:05 | < Mantisking> | Okay. The cat is getting a little annoying. |
| 01:06 | < Mantisking> | You? |
| 01:06 | <+MittenNinja> | haha |
| 01:07 | <+MittenNinja> | pretty good |
| 01:07 | <+MittenNinja> | I'm working on a comission right now |
| 01:07 | <+MittenNinja> | a pretty big one at that |
| 01:07 | < Mantisking> | Yeah? Can you talk about it? |
| 01:08 | <+MittenNinja> | yeah |
| 01:08 | <+MittenNinja> | its a full chess set of lego mechs |
| 01:08 | <+MittenNinja> | 32 frames |
| 01:08 | <+MittenNinja> | 6 designs |
| 01:09 | <+MittenNinja> | Ive got two more or less figured out |
| 01:09 | <+MittenNinja> | 4 still to go |
| 01:09 | <+MittenNinja> | and then the bricklinking |
| 01:10 | < Carbonbass> | Sounds pretty sweet |
| 01:10 | < Mantisking> | Sounds like a lot of work. The payday worth it? |
| 01:11 | <+MittenNinja> | SHould be |
| 01:11 | <+MittenNinja> | I dont know the full cost until I finalize the desings |
| 01:12 | <+MittenNinja> | and he's going to do some artwork for me as partial payment as well |
| 01:12 | <+MittenNinja> | http://draweverywhere.deviantart.com/ |
| 01:12 | <+MittenNinja> | It's that guy |
| 01:13 | <+MittenNinja> | Hes staff with Deviantart |
| 01:13 | <+MittenNinja> | He's gonna get me some exposure too |
| 01:13 | <+MittenNinja> | which should be nice for the comissions |
| 01:13 | < Mantisking> | Sounds good. |
| 01:14 | <+MittenNinja> | indeed |
| 01:14 | | Soren [Soren@19FBCB.262D20.66FFA9.886BF9] has quit [Ping timeout: 121 seconds] |
| 01:14 | < Mantisking> | So, is it just me, or have we lost a lot of people from the Hangar since it opened? |
| 01:14 | <+MittenNinja> | Plus its kinda cool building frames without having to be like "alright, how do I get four systems on this thing?" |
| 01:14 | <+MittenNinja> | maybe |
| 01:14 | <+MittenNinja> | it could be that people are just in a lull |
| 01:15 | < Mantisking> | I know it's summertime and that usually leads to less Lego activity in general. |
| 01:16 | <+MittenNinja> | and the rules arent out yet |
| 01:16 | <+MittenNinja> | i think once the rulebook hits and people have easier aces to everything we'll see a bit more activity |
| 01:16 | < Mantisking> | True. |
| 01:18 | < Mantisking> | "The calm before the storm." I feel a blog post coming on. :D |
| 01:18 | < Carbonbass> | Do we have any rough ETA on the rules? |
| 01:19 | < Mantisking> | Josh said two weeks in the last Kickstarter update. |
| 01:19 | < Mantisking> | That would be today. |
| 01:20 | | Soren [Soren@19FBCB.262D20.66FFA9.3E09FC] has joined #mf0 |
| 01:20 | | mode/#mf0 [+o Soren] by ChanServ |
| 01:21 | < Mantisking> | Soren! |
| 01:21 | <+MittenNinja> | That was for the second edit |
| 01:21 | <+MittenNinja> | not the final rulebook i thought |
| 01:23 | < Mantisking> | From the KS: "I'm working hard on completing the text, getting it laid out to get to both my editor Thor Olavsrud and backers, and I want to get it out for you guys to enjoy in the next week or two." |
| 01:24 | <+MittenNinja> | He did also mention the "first preview" |
| 01:24 | <+MittenNinja> | which implies a second |
| 01:25 | < Mantisking> | Yes. |
| 01:27 | | MittenNinja is now known as Mitten|Away |
| 01:30 | < Mantisking> | Maybe I should just call him and find out what's up. |
| 01:51 | <@randolph> | Hey guys |
| 01:53 | < Mantisking> | Hey. |
| 02:41 | <~McMartin> | Oh hey, it's the crowd |
| 02:41 | | * McMartin is now in the airport, after a trip that involved, among other things, MFZ with Randolph and friends. |
| 02:42 | <~McMartin> | We hit a rules corner in play: If you get blasted, during your activation post-getting-shot if you weren't destroyed outright... |
| 02:42 | <~McMartin> | ... you get to keep the lost dice for that one action. |
| 02:42 | <~McMartin> | Does this also apply to systems lost because some other frame was using you as cover? |
| 02:43 | < Mantisking> | If you get activated and weren't destroyed, you get to use all of the dice you threw. |
| 02:44 | <~McMartin> | Right, but you don't throw dice or get activated when someone uses you as cover, right? |
| 02:44 | <@Soren> | Apparently, I have been disconnecting a whole bunch, is how I've been. |
| 02:45 | < Mantisking> | You only get activated when you get targeted or when chhosen to activate. |
| 02:46 | < Mantisking> | Soren, how's Malaysia? |
| 02:47 | <@Soren> | warm. |
| 02:47 | < Mantisking> | Did the move go okay? |
| 02:47 | <@Soren> | I'm going to be a dick and drop the banhammer on Commander Whateverthefuck. |
| 02:48 | <@Soren> | He contributes less to the group than a stale turd in a gym shower. |
| 02:48 | < Mantisking> | You've got the power, use it. |
| 02:48 | <@Soren> | Done. |
| 02:49 | < Mantisking> | That didn't take long. |
| 02:49 | <@Soren> | three clicks. |
| 02:49 | <@Soren> | well, four, technically. |
| 02:50 | < Mantisking> | I'm guessing all his photos went away too? |
| 02:51 | <@Soren> | I checked the box. |
| 02:51 | <@Soren> | So yes. |
| 02:51 | <@Soren> | I'm waiting for the trashrage. |
| 02:51 | <~McMartin> | Mantisking: THe thing is, that means you didn't answer my question, unless there is an implication "this is the only time you get to keep dice lost to damage" |
| 02:55 | < Mantisking> | McMartin: Is this one of those "third in a chain" activation cases? |
| 02:55 | <@Soren> | Hmm. I wonder if Flickr notifies you that you've been banned. I've never done something bannable there! |
| 02:55 | <@Soren> | Either way, I'm going to be a little bummed if he doesn't at least flip out a little bit. |
| 02:56 | <@Soren> | I should at least get called a faggot for this. I mean, i went to the trouble of looking at his stuff. |
| 02:56 | < Mantisking> | We all did. He posted it to the group, right in front of our eyes. |
| 02:58 | <@Soren> | and every other vaguely-related group, it looks like. |
| 02:58 | < Mantisking> | At least he didn't post it to the Hangar where I'd have to deal with it. |
| 02:59 | <@Soren> | no, although I'm kind of curious if he's a kid, not a native English speaker, or what. |
| 02:59 | <~McMartin> | Mantisking: I have to run but I'll pick this up later |
| 02:59 | <@Soren> | My guess is kid, but you never know. |
| 02:59 | <~McMartin> | Basically, it's a case where, IIRC, you wouldn't get activated but could take damage anyway |
| 03:00 | <~McMartin> | Some other frame is using you as cover, gets activated becuase it was targeted by artillery, you get hit by stray shots |
| 03:01 | <~McMartin> | I may have missed some ruling that this activates you too |
| 03:02 | < Mantisking> | If you're cover nad not being activated, you just take damage. |
| 03:02 | < Mantisking> | "and" |
| 03:02 | <~McMartin> | OK. |
| 03:03 | <~McMartin> | That's interesting for artillery barrages; it implies that if you have a choice of where to launch artillery from you should do it so that your true target is "the cover" if you can swing it |
| 03:04 | < Mantisking> | There was a whole discussion of this on the Hangar. |
| 03:04 | < Mantisking> | And the ethics of it. |
| 03:04 | <~McMartin> | Ah, OK. |
| 03:04 | <~McMartin> | Oop, flight is boarding |
| 03:04 | <~McMartin> | See you in a few hours. |
| 03:05 | <~McMartin> | If you can throw a link to that in here though I'd be grateful |
| 03:17 | | Mitten|Away is now known as MittenNinja |
| 03:17 | <+MittenNinja> | Heya |
| 03:17 | <+MittenNinja> | Soren, whats up man? |
| 03:17 | < Mantisking> | Hey. |
| 03:18 | <+MittenNinja> | heya Mantis |
| 03:19 | <@Soren> | courting the pubescent ire of the first person we've ever had to ban. |
| 03:20 | <@randolph> | MK: So, if Frame A is the first to active, shooting Frame B, and damaging Frame C who is cover for Frame B, Frame C's lost systems never get rolled, ever in the entire game, is that correct? |
| 03:20 | <+MittenNinja> | haha Commander whats his name? |
| 03:21 | <@Soren> | yeah. I just got tired of seeing his shit pop up. He spams it to enough groups I doubt he'll notice. |
| 03:21 | <+MittenNinja> | yeah |
| 03:22 | <+MittenNinja> | probably not |
| 03:23 | < Mantisking> | Randolph: That's the way it goes. |
| 03:23 | < Mantisking> | The lesson here, don't EVER be cover. |
| 03:26 | <@randolph> | Ah. It didn't really matter, because it was Mr. Chibs, but good to know |
| 03:27 | <@randolph> | Mr. Chibs got the crap blown out of him, but he survived to the bitter end, begging for the DDC to be counted down, clinging desperately to a gazebo |
| 03:28 | <+MittenNinja> | Well, that's why you take two blues |
| 03:28 | <+MittenNinja> | no damage |
| 03:28 | <@randolph> | For that sole reason? No. |
| 03:28 | <+MittenNinja> | well yeah |
| 03:28 | <+MittenNinja> | but i mean |
| 03:28 | <+MittenNinja> | thats one of the benefits |
| 03:28 | <@randolph> | It's not worth the opportunity cost, considering how easy it is to not be put in that situation |
| 03:29 | <+MittenNinja> | it can be |
| 03:29 | <+MittenNinja> | but not often |
| 03:29 | <@randolph> | Short summary: I have 3 converts to MFZ, two of them bought PAB buckets today at the LEGO store :D |
| 03:30 | <@randolph> | I did a 3v3v4 skirmish |
| 03:31 | <@randolph> | WangTech PR teambuilding exercise (Team Chibi) vs. 88th OoCS Exploratory Committee vs. some local militia that violated WangTech Genuine Advantage |
| 03:31 | <@randolph> | Defenders won |
| 03:31 | <@randolph> | by 4 |
| 03:39 | < Mantisking> | Oh, and speaking of the Commander #43808whatever, do you think we'll have the same situation in the Hangar with VP Research? |
| 03:39 | <+MittenNinja> | probably not |
| 03:39 | <+MittenNinja> | his stuff is actually relavent |
| 03:39 | <+MittenNinja> | his 7p pilot super chub is a good idea |
| 03:40 | <+MittenNinja> | but it doesnt really accomplish anything |
| 03:40 | < Mantisking> | So post and say so, it'll make his night. |
| 03:40 | <@Soren> | Yeah, I don't care as long as it's actually related to the topic at hand. |
| 03:40 | < Mantisking> | The good idea part at least. :D |
| 03:40 | <@Soren> | I mean, I left Izzo's stuff in the Flickr pool, because while not related it's actually good and people will learn something from it. |
| 03:41 | <@Soren> | The only thing that guy is teaching anybody is that huffing aerosol sprays is bad, which i think most of us already knew. |
| 03:42 | < Mantisking> | {* snerk *} You can be so brutal sometimes. |
| 03:43 | <@Soren> | It's a gift. |
| 03:49 | <+MittenNinja> | Hows the feline Soren? |
| 03:50 | <+MittenNinja> | still giving you tiny hatefaces? |
| 03:54 | < Mantisking> | http://www.mocpages.com/moc.php/330870 |
| 03:54 | < Mantisking> | My mecha for the 3T Challenge. |
| 03:55 | <+MittenNinja> | That totally reminds me of the giant robot from an animated movie |
| 03:55 | <+MittenNinja> | I cant remember what the name was |
| 03:56 | <+MittenNinja> | Ah |
| 03:56 | <+MittenNinja> | it was Iron GIant |
| 03:56 | <+MittenNinja> | http://www.doobybrain.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/ultimate-iron-giant.jpg |
| 04:03 | < Mantisking> | Okay, I can see that. |
| 04:04 | < Mantisking> | And I'm not sure which sucks worse, MOCpages of Brickshelf. |
| 04:04 | < Mantisking> | "or" |
| 04:04 | <+MittenNinja> | flickr ftw? |
| 04:05 | | SageThe13th [NSwebIRC@Nightstar-47051bf7.rcsntx.sbcglobal.net] has joined #mf0 |
| 04:05 | <+MittenNinja> | sup sage? |
| 04:05 | < SageThe13th> | Yo. |
| 04:05 | <+MittenNinja> | okay, so. I have no clue how to use Maptool |
| 04:06 | <+MittenNinja> | just to forwarn you |
| 04:06 | < Mantisking> | Yeah, Flickr wins. |
| 04:06 | < SageThe13th> | That's okay it's not to hard. |
| 04:07 | < SageThe13th> | I've be doing most of the hard stuff as th GM. |
| 04:08 | < SageThe13th> | Grammar what's that? |
| 04:08 | <+MittenNinja> | haha |
| 04:08 | < Mantisking> | Your grammar looks okay... |
| 04:10 | < Mantisking> | I have a serious love/hate relationship with single stud connections. |
| 04:11 | < SageThe13th> | I know what you mean. |
| 04:11 | < Mantisking> | Damn Butterfly Knights. |
| 04:11 | < Carbonbass> | I try to avoid those personally. At least on structural parts of a frame |
| 04:12 | < Mantisking> | Time to call it a night. |

| 04:19 | <+MittenNinja> | or do we have anyone else too |
| 04:20 | < Carbonbass> | I'm here, sort of |
| 04:20 | <@Soren> | demi-here, I think. |
| 04:21 | < Carbonbass> | I'd be on Battlefield but our internet has been castrated. Just did a speedtest and got 0.05mbps download speed |
| 04:23 | < SageThe13th> | LowestFormOfWit said he wanted to play but he hasn't been active in the discussion topic lately. So, who knows. |

| 07:09 | < CalaveraJoe> | Hola |
| 07:24 | < afny> | o/ |
| 07:27 | < CalaveraJoe> | Is Ced on vacation or something? I haven't seen a whole company form him in a while |
| 07:28 | < CalaveraJoe> | from, not form |
| 07:30 | < afny> | Don't think so |
| 07:30 | < afny> | Slightly worried about him actually |
| 07:30 | < afny> | he might just be super busy with work though |
| 07:31 | < CalaveraJoe> | Has ne also not been in chat at all? |
| 07:32 | < afny> | nope |
| 07:32 | < CalaveraJoe> | Hrm |
| 07:32 | < CalaveraJoe> | Hopefully it's just work or something of the sort |
| 07:33 | < CalaveraJoe> | I got stuck dealing a few projects around the house and the wife going away for a weekend (which left me on solo baby duty) which has knocked me out for a bit |
| 07:34 | < afny> | and he was in here 24/7 before |
| 07:34 | < CalaveraJoe> | Need to get off my butt and take some picks of the sort/store system I got worked out, plus the few frames I've built up |
| 07:34 | < afny> | even when he was sleeping |

| 09:07 | < afny> | Penny Arcade TV is one giant Lexapro ad |
| 09:07 | < afny> | I'm not sure how I feel about this. |
| 10:05 | <@Soren> | anxious and mildly depressed would be ironic. |
| 10:09 | < afny> | given PA's readership I wouldn't call it ironic |
| 10:09 | < afny> | more like expected |
| 10:09 | < afny> | (that wasn't a dig to PA's readership) |
| 10:16 | <@Soren> | eh, their readership could use a couple digs. |
| 10:45 | < afny> | I'm not sure if I have an image of PA's readership as a collective, so I'm not sure to what extent I'm disappointed in them. |
| 10:45 | < afny> | Probably marginally disappointed. |
| 10:46 | <@Soren> | it's a default state the internet rarely gives cause to challenge. |
| 10:46 | <@Soren> | So I am committed to a party and I have to go. |

| 10:58 | <@Ced23Ric> | NEver. |
| 10:58 | <@Ced23Ric> | Firefal lhappened. |
| 10:59 | < afny> | Beta? |
| 10:59 | <@Ced23Ric> | Yipp. |
| 10:59 | < afny> | jealous |
| 10:59 | < afny> | is it sweet? |
| 10:59 | <@Ced23Ric> | Pretty much, yeah. |
| 10:59 | <@Ced23Ric> | I mean. |
| 10:59 | <@Ced23Ric> | Jetpacks, guns, bugs, explosions. |
| 10:59 | <@Ced23Ric> | What's not to love? |
| 10:59 | <@Ced23Ric> | Very grindy, thoguh. |
| 10:59 | < afny> | damn |
| 11:00 | <@Ced23Ric> | But at least, the most convenient way to get XP/Ressources and party up is the same thing. |
| 11:00 | <@Ced23Ric> | I spent hours climbing mountains and gliding over the world. :D |
| 11:01 | < afny> | sounds like the kind of thing I'd enjoy the beta for |
| 11:01 | < afny> | but never buy the game |
| 11:01 | <@Ced23Ric> | Well, it's free to play. |
| 11:01 | < afny> | "free" |
| 11:01 | <@Ced23Ric> | No, it is. |
| 11:01 | <@Ced23Ric> | You can buy visual stuff (lol), and more crafting slots. |
| 11:01 | <@Ced23Ric> | But, meh. |
| 11:01 | <@Ced23Ric> | Don't need any of it for casual play. |
| 11:02 | < afny> | Maybe I'll check it out when I get my bootcamp 7 running |
| 11:02 | < afny> | and it isn't in closed beta |
| 11:03 | <@Ced23Ric> | I'll get you a key. |

| 11:04 | < afny> | uhhh I dunno what just happened |
| 11:04 | <@Ced23Ric> | You hopped. |
| 11:04 | < afny> | I can't play it on this comp anyway so it's not a big deal |
| 11:05 | <@Ced23Ric> | I play it on my laptop, which is a crutch and a half. :D |
| 11:05 | < afny> | I think this machine could probably handle it at low settings (although not with the way its behaving it right now) |
| 11:05 | < afny> | but I'd have to find my windows 7 disk and related cracking software |
| 11:05 | < afny> | and run bootcamp |
| 11:05 | < afny> | and all that stuff |
| 11:06 | < afny> | Aw what |
| 11:06 | < afny> | Orson Scott Card did writing for it |
| 11:07 | < afny> | I'm not sure if my playing it could in any way benefit him financially, but I probably wouldn't risk it. |
| 11:07 | <@Ced23Ric> | Youngblood (did Tribes) is Lead Designer, too. |
| 11:07 | < afny> | I'm a fan of the design team, but not OSC. |
| 11:08 | <@Ced23Ric> | WHy's that? |
| 11:08 | < afny> | He's got his head up his own ass. |
| 11:09 | <@Ced23Ric> | Elaborate, plox. |
| 11:09 | < afny> | From the Wikipedia, "[Card] is also known as an advocate for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, of which he has been a lifelong practicing member, and as a political commentator on many issues, including opposition to homosexual behavior and the legalization of same-sex marriage." |
| 11:09 | < afny> | Pretty ironic for a guy who wrote Enders Game in a lot of ways. |
| 11:10 | <@Ced23Ric> | ... what a douche-nozzle. |
| 11:10 | < afny> | Apparently the later Ender books get all weirdly religiously preachy, too |
| 11:11 | < afny> | Like, the narrators who were previously free-thinkers start trying to justify dogmatic doublethink |
| 11:11 | < afny> | brb, need to restart |

| 11:31 | <@Ced23Ric> | Heya. |
| 11:31 | <@Ced23Ric> | So FIrefall. |
| 11:31 | <@Ced23Ric> | I made a point of becoming annoying. |
| 11:31 | <@Ced23Ric> | But it didn't work. |
| 11:31 | <@Ced23Ric> | Now I have a following. |
| 11:32 | < afny> | So you started a beta cult |
| 11:33 | <@Ced23Ric> | Yeah. |
| 11:33 | <@Ced23Ric> | I am the Queen of Fortaleeza. |
| 11:34 | <@Ced23Ric> | I pug'ed with random people and said things like: "THE QUEEN GROWS WEARY OF THESE SHORES. WE SHALL TAKE TO THE AIR AND SEEK OUT THE ORES OF THE MOUNTAINS." |
| 11:34 | <@Ced23Ric> | And people loved it. O_o |
| 11:34 | < afny> | They've probably never seen a roleplayer in the wild |
| 11:34 | <@Ced23Ric> | Now I have "The Court of Queen Sunfyre." |
| 11:34 | <@Ced23Ric> | There is one (presumably) girl, who even runs up to me, kneels, faces the ground and asks me whether she can do X or Y. |
| 11:35 | <@Ced23Ric> | She takesit for serious. |
| 11:35 | <@Ced23Ric> | Erryone else just gets a laugh out of it. |
| 11:36 | <@Ced23Ric> | I mean, we run around with jetpacks shooting bugs. |
| 11:36 | <@Ced23Ric> | How medieval can you get there? ;) |
| 11:36 | < afny> | if speculative science fiction has taught me anything |
| 11:36 | < afny> | pretty damn medieval . |
| 11:37 | <@Ced23Ric> | It's probably true. |

| 11:42 | <@Ceddobear> | Holy wowzercakes. |
| 11:42 | <@Ceddobear> | Such a greebly 'frame. |
| 11:43 | < afny> | it's even more greebly now |
| 11:43 | < afny> | you can't really see the back but I wrapped a brown chain around that whole cross armature |
| 11:43 | <@Ceddobear> | The launcher looks instable, but great. |
| 11:43 | < afny> | like physically? |
| 11:43 | <@Ceddobear> | I see you are grinding the connections you found. Good work. |
| 11:43 | < afny> | lego unstable or fluff instable |
| 11:43 | <@Ceddobear> | Yeah, like it would be wobbly or easy to fall off. |
| 11:43 | <@Ceddobear> | Lego. |
| 11:43 | < afny> | oh no, it's super super solid |
| 11:44 | <@Ceddobear> | Looks stable in fluff. |
| 11:44 | <@Ceddobear> | Yeah? |
| 11:44 | < afny> | the gun barrel falls off all the time |
| 11:44 | <@Ceddobear> | Ha! |
| 11:44 | < afny> | but I think that's because of the grey round I used |
| 11:44 | <@Ceddobear> | I see you made good use of the pan. :D |
| 11:44 | < afny> | I also made the antennae holders diagonal |
| 11:44 | < afny> | instead of vertical |
| 11:44 | < afny> | looks cooler |
| 11:48 | <@Ceddobear> | I was thinking about a modular 6x6 wall system. |
| 11:49 | <@Ceddobear> | That clips in. |
| 11:53 | < afny> | my problem with modular terrain systems, at least the ones I've seen/seen proposed |
| 11:53 | < afny> | is that they aren't really solving a problem |
| 11:53 | < afny> | lego terrain is modular by nature, and if you shoot it up every game, you have to rebuild it anyway |
| 11:53 | <@Ceddobear> | Well, I want to tackel two problems. |
| 11:53 | < afny> | and if your terrain is locked into an extra-modular style, I feel like you lose a lot of aesthetic flexibility |
| 11:54 | <@Ceddobear> | 1.) Each 6x6 section consists of 4 sections of 6 bricks to shoot off. |
| 11:54 | <@Ceddobear> | 2.) Easy to transport |
| 11:54 | < afny> | 2 is definitely a big concern for any kit |
| 11:54 | <@Ceddobear> | But you are right. |
| 11:55 | < afny> | I'm less concerned with 1 because I prefer an asymmetrical battlefield |
| 11:55 | < afny> | where there is some very heavy cover and some barely cover |
| 11:55 | < afny> | as opposed to equal cover throughout |
| 11:55 | <@Ceddobear> | I secretly want to build a massive diorama in a bombed-out city. |
| 11:56 | < afny> | Do eeet |
| 11:56 | < afny> | or do it, but at a TINY scale |
| 11:59 | <@Ceddobear> | But I want super-cool 'Frames to run around and play war. |
| 11:59 | < afny> | I guess I'm just projecting my own secret desire |
| 11:59 | < afny> | for travel size mfz |
| 12:00 | <@Ceddobear> | Heh. |
| 12:01 | < afny> | I'm thinking 2p or 3p scale |
| 12:01 | < afny> | and change the amount of bricks you remove from cover |
| 12:02 | < afny> | maybe 3 |
| 12:02 | < afny> | and a unit is 3 studs |
| 12:13 | <@Ceddobear> | I think I'll play some more Firefall soon. :D |
| 12:14 | < afny> | I'm marathoning Wes Anderson movies |
| 13:49 | < afny> | I think I'm going to start a painting today |

| 15:24 | <@Soren> | On the other hand, Ced, I did ban Commander62whateverthefuck this morning. |
| 15:24 | <@Soren> | So I'm calling today a wash. |

| 15:24 | <@Ceddobear> | Commander404 :D |
| 15:25 | <@Soren> | indeed. |
