| 02:16 | < Mantisking> | Hello? |
| 02:17 | < MittenNinja> | sup? |
| 02:18 | < Mantisking> | Not much. Just saw your announcement on the Hangar you'd be here. |
| 02:18 | < MittenNinja> | for sure. |
| 02:18 | < MittenNinja> | It'd be nice to get this place going again |
| 02:19 | < MittenNinja> | I think we have enough people interested to make it viable again |
| 02:19 | < Mantisking> | Let's hope so. |
| 02:19 | < Mantisking> | So I'm probably going to do a Design Journal blog post of my own. |
| 02:19 | < MittenNinja> | Nice! |
| 02:20 | | aimforthetop [Ingell@Nightstar-008fa812.res.rr.com] has joined #mf0 |
| 02:20 | < MittenNinja> | HEYO! |
| 02:20 | < aimforthetop> | Hey mof0s |
| 02:20 | < Mantisking> | I copied the upper torso from your Apollo build last night. |
| 02:20 | < MittenNinja> | howd it work out for ya? |
| 02:20 | < Mantisking> | Yo, AftT! |
| 02:21 | < Mantisking> | I tweaked it a bit as I couldn't get the handlebar to line up like you did. |
| 02:21 | < MittenNinja> | yeah, i had to fiddle with it quite a bit |
| 02:21 | < Mantisking> | I used two 1x1 Bricks w/Handle to form the head. |
| 02:21 | < MittenNinja> | one way to keep it lined up and sturdy is to use a mechanical claw and push that through the travis in the center. |
| 02:22 | < aimforthetop> | All the work I've done lately has been fluff writing/drawing and not lego- the stuff's still packed up after a move |
| 02:22 | < MittenNinja> | you have to force things a little though |
| 02:23 | < MittenNinja> | whats happening top? |
| 02:23 | < Mantisking> | Most of my Lego is put away in a closet. We're going to have the windows done on the house soon and we have to re-arrange a little. |
| 02:23 | < MittenNinja> | ah |
| 02:23 | < Mantisking> | I've been building with mostly Kre-O lately. |
| 02:23 | < MittenNinja> | there are some neat pieces from those sets |
| 02:23 | < Mantisking> | I've got two I'm dying to take pictures of. |
| 02:24 | < MittenNinja> | then do it! |
| 02:24 | < aimforthetop> | Does anything good come in the minifig bags? Around my way the only kreo I find are huge sets and the small bags |
| 02:24 | < Mantisking> | If they could only get the quality control to be as good as Lego, Kre-O would be awesome. |
| 02:24 | < MittenNinja> | I'm not sure. I've never picked one up |
| 02:24 | < Mantisking> | The Transformers bags? |
| 02:24 | < MittenNinja> | have you checked discount stores like TJMaxx and Ross? |
| 02:24 | < MittenNinja> | thats where I found most of mine for dirt cheap |
| 02:25 | < MittenNinja> | 300pc sets for like $15 |
| 02:25 | < Mantisking> | I do well with Walmart and TRU in my area. |
| 02:25 | < aimforthetop> | Don't have those in this town but when I get out to the larger cities I do. |
| 02:25 | < MittenNinja> | Check em out if you get the chance. It's pretty much the only way I'll by off brand stuff |
| 02:25 | < Mantisking> | Have you read my shopping guide for Lego? |
| 02:25 | < aimforthetop> | My walmart never clearances- or more precisely they clearance once a year with a small markdown |
| 02:25 | < MittenNinja> | yeah |
| 02:25 | < MittenNinja> | walmart isn't that hot |
| 02:26 | < MittenNinja> | Where are you at Top? |
| 02:26 | < Mantisking> | It depends on the Walmart. |
| 02:26 | < aimforthetop> | My target has decent clearances at stock reset time (jul/aug) |
| 02:26 | < aimforthetop> | Western NY, near Buffalo |
| 02:26 | < aimforthetop> | I grew up in southern NJ near Philly |
| 02:27 | < MittenNinja> | nice |
| 02:27 | < Mantisking> | Speaking of Target, anyone want to bet that the Umbaran polybag will make it 'til Halloween clearance? |
| 02:27 | < MittenNinja> | haha |
| 02:27 | < MittenNinja> | im sure some will some places |
| 02:28 | < aimforthetop> | I've already bought 3 will probably buy 2 more next foodshopping run |
| 02:28 | < MittenNinja> | yeah i picked up a few too |
| 02:28 | < Mantisking> | I've already got five sitting in a bag for a Christmas gift for a friend. |
| 02:29 | < MittenNinja> | yeah its a pretty sweet way to get someone playing for cheap |
| 02:29 | < Mantisking> | I'm going to get five more and a bunch of dice as an MFZ starter for another. |
| 02:29 | < Mantisking> | This one's already playing but he doesn't have much Lego. |
| 02:30 | < MittenNinja> | I'm hoping to inflate the player counts here in denver next month. I'm doing demos at Feast of Blades, possibly Mile High Con, and the grand opening of a local gaming store. |
| 02:30 | < MittenNinja> | They;re actually bringing in rulebooks and the owner wants me to help him set up some frame kits to sell as well |
| 02:31 | < Mantisking> | Awesome! |
| 02:31 | < aimforthetop> | Very nice. |
| 02:31 | < Mantisking> | Oh, I did mention the fiance is down for visiting Denver next summer, right? |
| 02:31 | < MittenNinja> | Im hoping to get a bi-weekly night going |
| 02:31 | < MittenNinja> | ye syou did |
| 02:31 | < MittenNinja> | Which is awesome |
| 02:32 | < Mantisking> | I'm hoping we can turn this into something pretty big. |
| 02:32 | < MittenNinja> | as am i |
| 02:32 | < Mantisking> | Good. 'Cause I'm nominating you to organize it. :-) |
| 02:32 | < MittenNinja> | hahaha |
| 02:34 | < MittenNinja> | Im really surprising myself in how many companies I'll be able to bring to the demos |
| 02:34 | < MittenNinja> | I thought I might be able to get around 4 or so cohesive companies |
| 02:34 | < MittenNinja> | its looking like I might be able to pull 6 or 7 |
| 02:34 | < Mantisking> | Damn, that's awesome. |
| 02:35 | < MittenNinja> | Yeah |
| 02:36 | < aimforthetop> | gives people a choice of looks :) |
| 02:36 | < MittenNinja> | I'm bringing my fat snakes, pit viper hoplites, Tin Men, Freedom's Breath, a small group of the Shorties i made, and the new rebels i just threw together |
| 02:36 | < MittenNinja> | absolutely |
| 02:36 | < aimforthetop> | sure beats 'space marines, space marines, or badguy space marines' :p |
| 02:36 | < MittenNinja> | plus, i think having a large amount of cool frames to look at will bring more people to the table |
| 02:36 | < Mantisking> | Yes. |
| 02:38 | < Mantisking> | Off the top of my head I've got Crab Mecha, Spider Mechs, Block Chests, RE-4s, and Strongarms. |
| 02:40 | < MittenNinja> | I decided I'm going to run even smaller than skirmish games for demos |
| 02:40 | < MittenNinja> | 3 to 2 frame companies |
| 02:40 | < MittenNinja> | 1 station |
| 02:40 | < aimforthetop> | 3 on 2's? |
| 02:40 | < aimforthetop> | ah |
| 02:40 | < MittenNinja> | just have things pre set up |
| 02:41 | < MittenNinja> | and ready to roll |
| 02:41 | < MittenNinja> | that way people can get a good grasp of the rules without having to sit there for 30 minutes |
| 02:41 | < Mantisking> | Yeah, I'm still trying to come up with a short demo scenario that shows people what they need to know without playing a full game. |
| 02:41 | < aimforthetop> | All the playing I've done has been a couple 2-round 3 on 2 shootouts to test the rules |
| 02:42 | < MittenNinja> | Yeah |
| 02:42 | < MittenNinja> | now if people come over that want to play a full game I can still do that too |
| 02:42 | < MittenNinja> | I know there a few people planning on coming to do at least one game |
| 02:43 | < Mantisking> | That's cool. |
| 02:46 | < aimforthetop> | One of my Shieldbugs is holding the same transpink glowsticks-er, Plasma Edges that your Cromarti Rebel's got there Mitten |
| 02:46 | < Mantisking> | MFZ rave! |
| 02:47 | < MittenNinja> | un ts un ts un ts un ts |
| 02:48 | < aimforthetop> | my other company the 119th TEMs has blue ones, for starwarsgundam clashing with the SBs |
| 02:48 | < Mantisking> | Shit, new Ninjago sets! Affordable new Ninjago sets!! |
| 02:49 | < MittenNinja> | hahaha |
| 02:49 | < MittenNinja> | i need some other colors for those blades |
| 02:49 | < MittenNinja> | all i have is pink |
| 02:49 | < MittenNinja> | wait, and purple |
| 02:49 | < MittenNinja> | i have purple |
| 02:50 | < Mantisking> | AFK. |
| 02:51 | < aimforthetop> | I'm thinking about doing an Ijad company in more or less an M-Tron color scheme, red black and transgreen |
| 02:52 | < aimforthetop> | Now that I have some black octagon bar plates |
| 02:53 | < MittenNinja> | Yeah |
| 02:53 | < MittenNinja> | you could use those funky nosepiece things that came in the old Mtron sets |
| 02:53 | < MittenNinja> | I have a few and have them set aside to try and find a cool use for them |
| 02:54 | < MittenNinja> | http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=2336p68 |
| 02:54 | < MittenNinja> | those guys |
| 02:54 | < MittenNinja> | could make an interesting base for a trodso |
| 02:54 | < MittenNinja> | *torso |
| 02:55 | < aimforthetop> | I have one! :D And a load of other old parts |
| 02:55 | < MittenNinja> | yeah |
| 02:55 | < MittenNinja> | I kinda want to throw together an Ice Planet themed company |
| 02:56 | < MittenNinja> | Black white blue and Trans-Orange |
| 02:56 | < aimforthetop> | I even have a couple magnets- could pretend an antigrav system actually works |
| 02:56 | < MittenNinja> | with lots of energy chainsaws |
| 02:57 | < aimforthetop> | ORANGE TRANSPARENT CHAINSAWS |
| 02:57 | < MittenNinja> | i have wanted to use magnets for something fun |
| 02:58 | < MittenNinja> | speaking of ice planet chainsaws... https://room208.org/booru/data/a0b79db7565c5fe7d6a7603a236d13f0.png |
| 03:01 | < aimforthetop> | I'd buy that as an action figure |
| 03:02 | < Mantisking> | Back. |
| 03:02 | < aimforthetop> | welcome back |
| 03:05 | < Mantisking> | I'm not seeing that second link. |
| 03:06 | < MittenNinja> | try this https://room208.org/booru/posts/1856 |
| 03:38 | < Mantisking> | I see it now. |
| 03:40 | < Mantisking> | So I finished tweaking my modded Apollo build. |
| 03:40 | < MittenNinja> | nice |
| 03:40 | < MittenNinja> | got some pictures? |
| 03:41 | < Mantisking> | Not 'til tomorrow. |
| 03:41 | < Mantisking> | I did use the leg from my Tablescrap 9 post though. |
| 03:43 | < MittenNinja> | i still think thats a pretty neat connection |
| 03:44 | < Mantisking> | The parts to build the leg? |
| 03:44 | < MittenNinja> | yeah |
| 03:45 | < Mantisking> | Yeah, I think I have finally got a frame to use it on. |
| 03:47 | < Mantisking> | So, you think if we have a regular IRC night we'll get more people? |
| 03:48 | < MittenNinja> | not so much a regular night |
| 03:48 | < MittenNinja> | but I plan i being on here more often in hopes of other people jumping on more often |
| 03:49 | < aimforthetop> | is theshadow just a bot? |
| 03:49 | < MittenNinja> | I fugre there would be more incentive to sign on if there are people here more often |
| 03:49 | < MittenNinja> | yeah |
| 03:50 | < aimforthetop> | I do IRC on a few networks most nights of the week so I'll probly think to drop by here occasionally |
| 03:50 | < Mantisking> | I've been hopping on every now and then and checking the archives to see if people have been on. |
| 03:50 | < MittenNinja> | most of the time when i hop on no one else has been here |
| 03:51 | < MittenNinja> | hence my post on the forums |
| 03:51 | < MittenNinja> | awesome top |
| 03:54 | < aimforthetop> | do the devs ever come on? |
| 03:55 | < MittenNinja> | Josh and Soren used to hop on occasionally |

| 03:58 | < aimforthetop> | remove a system :p |
| 03:58 | < Mantisking> | Whoops. |
| 03:58 | < MittenNinja_> | so Yeah |
| 03:58 | < MittenNinja_> | Soren used to come on quite a bit |
| 03:58 | < MittenNinja_> | He lives in Malaysia now though |
| 03:59 | < MittenNinja_> | so the time zone difference is pretty drastic |
| 03:59 | < aimforthetop> | Yeah |
| 03:59 | < MittenNinja_> | It was awesome talking with him about this stuff though |
| 03:59 | < Mantisking> | Definitely. |
| 03:59 | < MittenNinja_> | There were a lot of cool little techniques I learned from him |

| 04:00 | < MittenNinja_> | Heya Ian |
| 04:00 | < PD2525> | hey |
| 04:01 | < MittenNinja_> | Oh hey Fith, didnt see you there |
| 04:02 | < Mantisking> | Hey, it got crowded in here all of a sudden. :- |
| 04:02 | < Mantisking> | :-) |
| 04:02 | < aimforthetop> | Cool! |
| 04:03 | < MittenNinja_> | Like I said, if we let people know when we hop on, we;re more likely to revive this place |
| 04:03 | < Mantisking> | True. |
| 04:04 | < Fithavil> | Hey mitten- Sorry for the delay |
| 04:04 | < Fithavil> | I'm playing on Laser! |
| 04:04 | < MittenNinja_> | laser? |
| 04:04 | < Fithavil> | Yeah, haven't I told you about it? |
| 04:04 | < Fithavil> | Terrain company |
| 04:04 | < Fithavil> | Lasers |
| 04:04 | < Fithavil> | Sharks. |
| 04:05 | < MittenNinja_> | OH YEAH |
| 04:05 | < MittenNinja_> | derp |
| 04:05 | < MittenNinja_> | i keep forgetting about that |
| 04:05 | < MittenNinja_> | One of these days I'll remember |
| 04:05 | < Fithavil> | One shouldn't forget about the lasers about his neighborhood |
| 04:06 | < MittenNinja_> | hahaha |
| 04:07 | < MittenNinja_> | You going to the AQ grand opening? |
| 04:09 | < PD2525> | Not sure if i'll make it to AQ, but most tuesdays the tursdays i can |
| 04:09 | < PD2525> | i know my GF is bringing her family there for it |
| 04:10 | < Fithavil> | @AQ- I actually have the day off somehow |
| 04:10 | < Fithavil> | So heck yes I am |
| 04:10 | < Fithavil> | also, it will be the first day of them stocking my stuffs |
| 04:15 | < MittenNinja_> | NICE |
| 04:16 | < MittenNinja_> | I'm going to run some MFZ as well |
| 04:17 | < PD2525> | it could be cool if some semi-consistant groups start running in different states. |
| 04:17 | < MittenNinja_> | For sure |
| 04:18 | < PD2525> | each could run games we on their groups planet or moons, and the batte reports would add running set of stories in the world of MFZ |
| 04:19 | < MittenNinja_> | I would be stoked if we could just get a semi regular night going out here |
| 04:19 | < MittenNinja_> | that could be cool |
| 04:28 | < MittenNinja_> | One of the things I want to get working on is fleshing out the Orion 6 setting a bit more |
| 04:28 | < MittenNinja_> | I have some pretty cool ideas for making it a bit more unique than the standard solar calendar stuff, yet it fits in perfectly with it |
| 04:35 | < MittenNinja_> | Hey guys.... |
| 04:35 | < MittenNinja_> | ...I lost |
| 04:35 | < aimforthetop> | nope |
| 04:35 | < aimforthetop> | no game |
| 04:35 | < PD2525> | what game? |
| 04:35 | < MittenNinja_> | the game |
| 04:35 | < MittenNinja_> | there are three rules |
| 04:36 | < MittenNinja_> | 1: You are playing the game |
| 04:36 | < MittenNinja_> | 2: If you think about the game you lose the game |
| 04:36 | < PD2525> | and if you lost, you shold review your party's stats |
| 04:36 | < MittenNinja_> | 3: if you lose the game you have to announce your loss |
| 04:36 | < MittenNinja_> | WELCOME TO THE GAME |
| 04:37 | < PD2525> | to quote a tic-tac-toe playing computer "interesting game, the only way to win is not to play" |
| 04:37 | < MittenNinja_> | refer to Rule 1 |
| 04:37 | < PD2525> | and yeah, the game is the Single shot rocket of the internet |
| 04:38 | < PD2525> | still working on a new rocket design |
| 04:39 | < MittenNinja_> | whatcha got so far? |
| 04:39 | < PD2525> | i've got 2 already, but my new cat-pirate company needs a rocket |
| 04:39 | < MittenNinja_> | cat, pirates? |
| 04:40 | < PD2525> | the frams look like cats, the company is a band of pirates |
| 04:40 | < MittenNinja_> | ah |
| 04:40 | < MittenNinja_> | i was thinking pirates who stole cats |
| 04:40 | < MittenNinja_> | which would be funny |
| 04:40 | < PD2525> | ... ok, their first recodred theift might have to be stealing the group's mascot |
| 04:43 | < PD2525> | i've got a panzerfaust like rocket, and the other company has an experemental laver pistol i nicknamed the jitterbug, but i still need to desing for the quadraped frame |
| 04:46 | < PD2525> | and i cant type tonight, that should be lazer, not laver |
| 04:48 | < Mantisking> | Okay, I'm done for the night. Catch you guys later. |
| 04:49 | < PD2525> | Night to thee oh king of the mantis |

| 05:07 | < PD2525> | not sure i'll make it |
| 05:08 | < MittenNinja_> | too bad |
| 05:08 | < MittenNinja_> | it's looking like its going to be really fun |
| 05:08 | < MittenNinja_> | MFZ aside |
| 05:11 | < PD2525> | yeah, i've got a principal model for my desing class due the week of the 13th, so i'll probably be working on that over the weekend |
| 05:12 | < PD2525> | hey, have you seen this kickstarter? http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/380641742/bryx-iphone-controllable-arduino-p rogrammable-bric?ref=home_location |
| 05:12 | < MittenNinja_> | gothca |
| 05:12 | < MittenNinja_> | thats pretty slick |
| 05:13 | < PD2525> | i'm gonna go link it on the forum later. imagine frames with lightup cores like that. |
| 05:14 | < MittenNinja_> | Yeah, do you know if they'll have any bricks smaller than that? |
| 05:15 | < MittenNinja_> | a 2x4 is pretty hard to incorporate into a frame at this scale |
| 05:15 | < PD2525> | no clue, but i'll take a look |
| 05:15 | < PD2525> | still cool for stations and terrain |
| 05:15 | < MittenNinja_> | true! |
| 05:15 | < MittenNinja_> | i didnt think about stations |
