| 00:11 | < Shades_Corvid> | Boo |
| 00:12 | < Dukayn[AFK]> | Hey shades. |
| 00:13 | < MittenNinja[phone]> | urns |
| 00:13 | < Dukayn[AFK]> | Yeah that's why I went and revisited the "Hawk"series with the Shikra. And the Nightingale Mk.II |
| 00:13 | < Dukayn[AFK]> | Though I can't brick the Nightingale |
| 00:14 | | Dukayn[AFK] is now known as Dukayn |
| 00:14 | < MittenNinja[phone]> | even then, those are styles youve already messed with |
| 00:14 | < MittenNinja[phone]> | i hadnt messed with conscripts really at all before |
| 00:14 | < Dukayn> | Yeah true |
| 00:15 | < MittenNinja[phone]> | try an xvm, or a scrambler, or something |
| 00:15 | < MittenNinja[phone]> | itll give you insight into new connections and parts usage |
| 00:15 | < MittenNinja[phone]> | or mgns, i dont think ive seen an mgn from you |
| 00:15 | < MittenNinja[phone]> | mgns are geat |
| 00:16 | < Dukayn> | My main issue is lack of appropriate parts. Very little taps, 0 t-pieces that dirty if thing. |
| 00:16 | < Dukayn> | I tried an MN |
| 00:16 | < Dukayn> | MgN |
| 00:16 | < Dukayn> | Didn't work out great. I could try again. |
| 00:16 | < MittenNinja[phone]> | how many Bricklink stores are in auatralia? |
| 00:17 | < MittenNinja[phone]> | taps and t's are relatively cheap |
| 00:18 | < Dukayn> | Yeah. There are a few. Money priority isn't on Lego at the moment. |
| 00:19 | < Dukayn> | I should basket some up just to see how much it would be, then work on the missus :P |
| 00:19 | < Shades_Corvid> | been there...over spent just a hair given the deals this past weekend. |
| 00:19 | < MittenNinja[phone]> | you can get a good chunk of each for about $10 over here at least |
| 00:20 | < MittenNinja[phone]> | and by good chunk i mean 40+ of each |
| 00:20 | < MittenNinja[phone]> | $10 should be too hard to squeeze :) |
| 00:20 | < MittenNinja[phone]> | shouldnt* |
| 00:24 | < Dukayn> | Cool, I'm going to check it out |
| 00:27 | < Shades_Corvid> | I can't believe I essentially have three squads now... |
| 00:28 | < MittenNinja[phone]> | i know what you mean. after a bit you can pull off more frames than you thought |
| 00:30 | < Shades_Corvid> | Well it all bought really, I made my hi-legs first then when it looks like my friends who also did the kickstarter hadn't built squads yet I decided to make a Chub squad so I order the parts for those...then my Target got in the Spider dudes...so I picked up six or so of those. Haven't built all of them but planning to combine them with parts from the Kraag Turret and the Street Sweeper poly bags. |
| 00:31 | < Dukayn> | I need to simplify my designs I think. |
| 00:35 | < Shades_Corvid> | with the demo coming up I really need to start building stations and equipping the chubs. |
| 00:44 | < Dukayn> | Done! |
| 00:47 | < Dukayn> | 40 t-pieces, 30 taps in various colours, an assortment of clip tiles, claws. Should help some. All up 165 pieces. |
| 00:52 | < MittenNinja[phone]> | how much you end up spending? |
| 00:54 | < Dukayn> | $11.60 plus postage |
| 00:54 | < MittenNinja[phone]> | nice |
| 00:54 | < Dukayn> | Which shouldn't be more than $3.50 |
| 00:54 | < MittenNinja[phone]> | told ya it wouldn't be much |
| 00:55 | < Dukayn> | Heh yeah |
| 00:55 | < Dukayn> | 3c for taps heh |
| 00:56 | < Dukayn> | 12c for t-pieces, but he was the cheapest side |
| 00:56 | < Dukayn> | Store |
| 00:56 | < Dukayn> | With more than 20 |
| 00:59 | < MittenNinja[phone]> | yeah, sometimes you get lucky with quantities, other times not so much. |
| 01:02 | < Dukayn> | Yeah. I've noticed 1x1 black plates are bloody hard to get in Aus. No idea why. |
| 01:28 | < MittenNinja[phone]> | yeah. a lot of it has to do with certain sets only being sold in certain parts of the world |
| 01:28 | < MittenNinja[phone]> | there are some really cool parts that are only in england that i cant find anywhere in the states |
| 01:30 | < Dukayn> | Bloody Brits |
| 01:31 | < MittenNinja[phone]> | haha |
| 01:33 | < Dukayn> | I think I've come to the realisation that I need to pull apart all of my current frames and concentrate on building companies instead of individual units. |

| 01:56 | < MittenNinja[phone]> | thats one of the reasons ive been trying to make simpler frames as of late. |
| 01:58 | < Dukayn> | Yeah. I need to make some stations, too. And terrain. |
| 02:03 | < Dukayn> | Frames are just so much more interesting |
| 02:16 | < MittenNinja[phone]> | you can get some pretty cool stations too though |
| 02:16 | < MittenNinja[phone]> | ammo supply trucks |
| 02:16 | < MittenNinja[phone]> | weapon emplacements |
| 02:17 | < MittenNinja[phone]> | etc |

| 17:07 | < MittenNinja[phone]> | carpe! whats up? |
| 17:07 | < CarpeMortis> | Not much |
| 17:08 | < CarpeMortis> | I'm finaly having a full sized 4 player battle on Sat. |
| 17:08 | < CarpeMortis> | But I need to make allot more terrain |
| 17:08 | < CarpeMortis> | but I'm working 10 hour days to make up for the day i had to take off for Jury Duty |
| 17:09 | < CarpeMortis> | So somewhere in the next 72 hours I need to find time to sit down and build |
| 17:23 | < MittenNinja[phone]> | haha yeah |
| 17:23 | < MittenNinja[phone]> | see if your local lego store has those 1x2 log bricks on their wall |
| 17:23 | < MittenNinja[phone]> | great for terrain |
| 17:24 | < CarpeMortis> | my local lego stores are all an hour's drive |
| 17:24 | < MittenNinja[phone]> | lame |
| 17:25 | < CarpeMortis> | I hit up the one at Disney land when ever i go there with my wife |
| 17:25 | < CarpeMortis> | but that's not gonna happen for a while since we are going on vacation in 2 weeks, so I don't have and spare vacation time for Disneyland |
| 17:28 | < CarpeMortis> | I've got plenty of the typical "Ruined wall" terrain |
| 17:29 | < CarpeMortis> | and i made a slick little solar farm |
| 17:30 | < CarpeMortis> | a basic grove of one piece trees. |
| 17:30 | < CarpeMortis> | and a small grove of pine trees |
| 17:30 | < CarpeMortis> | where ever we are fighting is in a "unique" climate |
| 17:32 | < CarpeMortis> | I had a nice planetary defense gun, but i needed to cannibalize it for frame constrution |
| 17:36 | < MittenNinja[phone]> | sounds like youve got enough |
| 18:01 | | Mantisking [NSwebIRC@Nightstar-b8c9c363.fios.verizon.net] has joined #mf0 |
| 18:02 | < Mantisking> | Hello? |
| 18:36 | < CarpeMortis> | hello |
| 18:36 | < CarpeMortis> | all of 34 min too alte |
| 18:36 | < CarpeMortis> | err late |
| 18:37 | < MittenNinja[phone]> | lol |
| 18:37 | < MittenNinja[phone]> | yeah when im on here via the phone it can take awhile for me to respond to things |
| 18:37 | < MittenNinja[phone]> | generally its because im at work or something and can only occasionally check in. |
| 18:38 | < CarpeMortis> | Same here, but this time it was because this weekend is free Xbox Live weekend, and i was busy compilign al ist of shit codes for Borderlands 2 |
| 18:38 | < CarpeMortis> | erre shift |
| 18:40 | < Mantisking> | I didn't know we scheduled chat appointments. |
| 18:41 | < Mantisking> | :-) |
| 18:41 | < CarpeMortis> | Isn't that what teh forum thread is about? |
| 18:45 | < Mantisking> | True. |
| 18:45 | < Mantisking> | So how's everyone doing today? |
| 18:46 | < CarpeMortis> | So far so good. |
| 18:47 | < CarpeMortis> | Lunch is in 24 min so it can only get better |
| 18:47 | < CarpeMortis> | wait 14 min... |
| 18:47 | < CarpeMortis> | EVEN BETTER! |
| 18:48 | < Mantisking> | My lunch has been over for 47 minutes. |
| 18:49 | < CarpeMortis> | Time is a cruel and uncaring mistress |
| 18:54 | < Mantisking> | Yes. Especially since I want to go home and build. |
| 18:55 | < CarpeMortis> | Don't we all |
| 18:56 | < CarpeMortis> | I've seriously considered putting a VM on my server here for the soul purpouse of installing LDD |
| 18:56 | < CarpeMortis> | err sole |
| 18:57 | < Mantisking> | Even though I'm now sharing an office, and out of a cubicle, I don't think I could get away with having LDD on my desktop. |
| 18:59 | < CarpeMortis> | I'm a systems admin, if i do my job well int eh first palce, then most of my job is sittign around waiting for something to go wrong. |
| 18:59 | < Mantisking> | I believe you've mentioned that before. |
| 19:00 | < CarpeMortis> | plus they keep me in the server room, literally as remote as you can get and still be in this building |
| 19:00 | < CarpeMortis> | oh hey it's taco time. |
| 19:00 | < CarpeMortis> | AFK |
| 19:01 | < MittenNinja[phone]> | TACOS! |
| 19:01 | < MittenNinja[phone]> | i manage a restaurant so the chances of me pulling of ldd at work are slim to none. and slim just left. |
| 19:02 | < Mantisking> | MMMMMMM, tacos! |
| 19:02 | < MittenNinja[phone]> | i do have easy access to tacos though |
| 19:06 | < Mantisking> | So what are you going to donate to Creations for Charity? |
| 19:14 | < MittenNinja[phone]> | probably a company or two |
| 19:15 | < MittenNinja[phone]> | possibly a couple one off frames too. |
| 19:21 | < Mantisking> | I'm going to donate the "Red Menace" company of Crab Mecha. I'll try and make stations for them too. |
| 19:22 | < Mantisking> | I might need another frame or two as the squad only has three mechs right now. |
| 19:34 | < CarpeMortis> | I know they are not real tacos, but Taco Bell is still satisfying for some reason. |
| 19:36 | < Mantisking> | Taco Bell is awesome for quantity. |
| 19:37 | < CarpeMortis> | and convienece |
| 19:37 | < MittenNinja[phone]> | yeah, not so great for the day after though |
| 19:39 | < Mantisking> | I can't recall ever having a problem with that with TB food. |
| 19:40 | < CarpeMortis> | Neither can I |
| 19:48 | < MittenNinja[phone]> | maybe im just getting old |
| 19:50 | < Mantisking> | We all are. :-) |
| 19:50 | < CarpeMortis> | Yep. |
| 19:56 | < Mantisking> | What Lego builds are people working on at the moment? |
| 19:57 | < CarpeMortis> | Terrain mainly, though i'll probably ignore that again in favor of turing some of my MHC's into horus..es...i? |
| 19:57 | < CarpeMortis> | oh and I'm roughing up the MST3K bots I posted in the Off topic forum. |
| 19:58 | < CarpeMortis> | my main goal is to figure out how to build gypsy without the Brickarms bayonett clips |
| 20:04 | < Mantisking> | Gypsy? |
| 20:04 | < CarpeMortis> | Not a Mystery Science Theater Fan I see |
| 20:05 | < Mantisking> | I'm working on the "Spires of Ahu", an Ijad church. |
| 20:05 | < Mantisking> | Not really. |
| 20:07 | < CarpeMortis> | Then it doesn't really mater =) |
| 20:08 | < Mantisking> | Ah, okay. I thought you might have meant my GH-1 frame as I use Brickarm U-clips in the build. |
| 20:08 | < CarpeMortis> | What is your concept? |
| 20:09 | < CarpeMortis> | I mean what are you going for in the design? |
| 20:10 | < Mantisking> | An octagonal building that looks like a Scrambler writ large. |
| 20:10 | < CarpeMortis> | My problem is always I have high ambitions for my terrain, btu they usually end up as some variation on "ruined wall" |
| 20:10 | < Mantisking> | Heh. |
| 20:10 | < CarpeMortis> | Nice. |
| 20:11 | < Mantisking> | Thanks. It's mostly built, I just need to find a handful of parts to finish it. |
| 20:12 | < Mantisking> | It's made mostly of Black and Orange pieces, partly in honor of Hallowe'en. |
| 20:12 | < CarpeMortis> | I keep trying to use the scaffolding from The Halo Mantis sets to make some kind of repair bay. But ever thing i do with them ends up too simple, or overwroght. And because of the size of the pieces, way too fragile on the field |
| 20:13 | < Mantisking> | I still haven't opend the two sets I bought. |
| 20:15 | < CarpeMortis> | there is absolutely no way a toy set can exist in my household for more than 2 days without being torn asunder. |
| 20:17 | < Mantisking> | I've got a small table covered in Lego sets in the basement. Probably about 18 cubic feet of unopened sets. It takes me a while to sort pieces, especially since my storage stuff is packed away in a closet right now. |
| 20:23 | < MittenNinja[phone]> | im still tweaking stuff for feast of blades next weekend. gotta get a little bit more terrain together too. |
| 20:26 | < MittenNinja[phone]> | and building more variations on my landscripts |
| 20:33 | < Mantisking> | I'm thinking about building one of those and a Landmate. |
| 20:52 | < Mantisking> | It'd be interesting seeing a Landmate, Landscript, and a Conscript all side by side. |
| 21:01 | < MittenNinja[phone]> | i could throw some together tonight and make that happen |
| 21:06 | < Mantisking> | Blog post? |
| 21:21 | < MittenNinja[phone]> | for sure. im going to be doing one on the landscript once i get variants done |
| 21:23 | < Mantisking> | Nice. |
| 21:24 | < Mantisking> | I've got more than a few in the pipeline, I just have to figure out how I want to end the week. |
| 21:39 | < MittenNinja[phone]> | for sure. ive got a couple more tactics 101 posts planned as well |
| 21:40 | < MittenNinja[phone]> | one on deployment and terrain placement and one on system synergy |
| 21:41 | < Mantisking> | I've got an idea I've been mulling over for a Strategy post -- The Swarm Strategy. |
| 21:48 | < MittenNinja[phone]> | max frames, min systems |
| 21:48 | < MittenNinja[phone]> | ? |
| 21:50 | < Mantisking> | Max frames, max systems. It'll only work once in a gaming group. |

| 21:53 | < MittenNinja[phone]> | sorry, got dced there for a second |
| 21:58 | < MittenNinja[phone]> | so anyways, max frames min systems for the swarm? |
| 21:58 | < Mantisking> | No prob. Almost time for me to leave anyway. |
| 21:59 | < Mantisking> | No. Max frames, max systems to intentionally go last. You overwhelm them with fast moving heavily armed units. Every frame has to have a movement attachment. |
| 22:02 | < MittenNinja[phone]> | it works well in two player games, the more players there are the less effective it becomes |
| 22:05 | < MittenNinja[phone]> | mainly because the gap between the 8 frame max at two players down to 5 or 4 max at max players drops significantly |
| 22:05 | < Mantisking> | True, which is something I'll mention in the post. |
| 22:05 | < MittenNinja[phone]> | hence your advantage drops significantly |
| 22:12 | < Mantisking> | Yup. Okay, time for me to sign off. |

| 22:41 | < MittenNinja[phone]> | so i think ive got a tournament structure more or less nailed down. |
| 22:41 | < MittenNinja[phone]> | i will have to commune with josh to see what he thinks |
| 22:42 | < MittenNinja[phone]> | were hoping to run a tourney out at denver comic con |
| 22:46 | < CarpeMortis> | cool |
| 22:46 | < CarpeMortis> | My wife has friends in aurora. |
| 22:46 | < CarpeMortis> | I'm hopping to be able to to kill two birds with one trip =) |
| 22:48 | < MittenNinja[phone]> | nice! |
| 22:48 | < MittenNinja[phone]> | ideally wed need 27 people for my tourney structure to work |
| 22:51 | < MittenNinja[phone]> | id love to hold a little aide contest for "best designed frame" and "best company" and such too |
| 22:51 | < MittenNinja[phone]> | *side |
| 22:55 | < CarpeMortis> | that could be very fun |
| 22:55 | < MittenNinja[phone]> | for sure. im hoping it all pans out |
| 23:04 | < MittenNinja[phone]> | nice work on the embedded chat window |
| 23:04 | < MittenNinja[phone]> | im so bad at that kind if stuff |
