| 16:00 | < MittenNinja> | Heyo |
| 16:02 | < Mantisking> | Hey. |
| 16:02 | < Mantisking> | I have no initiative today. |
| 16:02 | < MittenNinja> | Yeah |
| 16:03 | < MittenNinja> | I have those days too |
| 16:03 | < MittenNinja> | Wednesday was one of those days for me |
| 16:03 | < MittenNinja> | I decided that I was going to finish my next tatics blog post and then I sat there and stared at it for a while and then went and did something else |
| 16:04 | < Mantisking> | I've been good for most of the week. I gave up at 4:30 yesterday though. |
| 16:04 | < Mantisking> | The worst part is I brought a box of Lego to work with me today. |
| 16:04 | < MittenNinja> | how come? |
| 16:05 | < Mantisking> | It was a crazy day for me yesterday. It seemed like every other phone call into the building was for me. My e-mail was pretty heavy too. |
| 16:09 | < MittenNinja> | What do you do again? |
| 16:12 | < Mantisking> | I'm an office worker at a small manufacturing company. My title is "Inventory Control". :-) |
| 16:13 | < MittenNinja> | aha |
| 16:14 | < MittenNinja> | im sure you have some days that are slow as molasses, and others that are batshit crazy |
| 16:14 | < Mantisking> | Yeah. |
| 16:14 | < Mantisking> | Yesterday was on the batshit crazy side. |
| 16:15 | < MittenNinja> | One of these days I'd just love to have a job with a regular schedule and less than 50 hours |
| 16:15 | | CarpeMortis [NSwebIRC@1AB00B.E98EAC.43BD83.4D3ADE] has joined #mf0 |
| 16:15 | < Mantisking> | You said you were a restaurant manager, right? |
| 16:15 | < MittenNinja> | Heya carpe! |
| 16:16 | < MittenNinja> | yeah |
| 16:16 | < MittenNinja> | buffalo wild wings |
| 16:16 | < MittenNinja> | so we're in crazy busy season right now |
| 16:16 | < MittenNinja> | and the broncos are killing it so it's even more nuts |
| 16:16 | < Mantisking> | Carpe! |
| 16:16 | < CarpeMortis> | hello |
| 16:17 | < Mantisking> | Okay, I can understand that. |
| 16:17 | < Mantisking> | At least you got to game last night. |
| 16:17 | < MittenNinja> | yeah |
| 16:17 | < MittenNinja> | doesnt always happen though |
| 16:18 | < MittenNinja> | plus with the wife and the dog It's not something i can pull every week |
| 16:18 | < MittenNinja> | and with a sporadic schedule i dont always have the same nights off |
| 16:18 | < MittenNinja> | so its hard to get a regular night going |
| 16:19 | < Mantisking> | I haven't played MFZ since April. |
| 16:19 | < MittenNinja> | get on that! |
| 16:22 | < Mantisking> | We're leading up to Chinese New Year season. My free time is going to get less and less. |
| 16:22 | < MittenNinja> | that sucks |
| 16:23 | < MittenNinja> | at least business is good though |
| 16:27 | < Mantisking> | CNY has nothing to do with work and everything to do with the kung fu school where I'm a student. :-) |
| 16:28 | < Mantisking> | Is it good or bad when your hobbies chew up a lot of your free time? LOL. |
| 16:29 | < MittenNinja> | well, good because it means you have a job, which gives you money, and allows you to do your hobbies |
| 16:29 | < MittenNinja> | but yeah |
| 16:29 | < MittenNinja> | the time thing sucks |
| 16:29 | < CarpeMortis> | My hobbies include sleeping, but i don't find as much time for that as I would like |
| 16:29 | < MittenNinja> | hahaha |
| 16:29 | < MittenNinja> | priorities |
| 16:36 | < Mantisking> | I'm a big fan of sleeping. |
| 16:37 | < Mantisking> | MN, any more takers on the Creations for Charity thing? |
| 16:39 | < MittenNinja> | not that I've seen |
| 16:39 | < MittenNinja> | I did see that Ironsniper was going to contribute something |
| 16:39 | < MittenNinja> | but with him it's probably not going to be MFZ related |
| 16:39 | < Mantisking> | I'm close to finishing mine. |
| 16:41 | < CarpeMortis> | How long does teh drive last? |
| 16:43 | < Mantisking> | The store doesn't open until November 15th, so you have at least that long. I think. |
| 16:46 | < MittenNinja> | the store opens on oct 15th |
| 16:46 | < MittenNinja> | ends on Nov 15th |
| 16:46 | < MittenNinja> | they are accepting the donations now |
| 16:46 | < MittenNinja> | you can donate right up to the end, but keep in mind you may not have eneough time left to sell |
| 16:52 | < Mantisking> | Are you going to include a Ruler in yours? |
| 17:00 | < Mantisking> | Lunch. AFK. |
| 17:01 | < MittenNinja> | probably |
| 17:01 | < MittenNinja> | it depends on what i end up donating |
| 17:43 | < Mantisking> | Back. |
| 17:44 | < Mantisking> | I spent part of my lunch mucking about with Lego. It was awesome. |
| 17:45 | < MittenNinja> | haha |
| 17:45 | < MittenNinja> | i wish i could pull that off |
| 17:46 | < MittenNinja> | heck, I wish i could get a real lunch brea |
| 17:46 | < MittenNinja> | k |

| 17:54 | < Mantisking> | That tactics post is solid. |
| 17:55 | < MittenNinja_> | Thanks man |
| 17:59 | < MittenNinja_> | BTW the double spot guys were pretty effective |
| 17:59 | < MittenNinja_> | I wouldnt want to use them as the primary defender |
| 17:59 | < MittenNinja_> | but as a secondary attacker they're brutal |
| 18:00 | < Mantisking> | I'll have to add those archetypes to the list. |
| 18:00 | < MittenNinja_> | the defender passes to you and you shoot the cover out from under him and spot the shit out of his guys, setting up the primary attacker to blow him away, putting you in the lead while you set up for the counter attack when the initiative shifts |
| 18:13 | < Mantisking> | Boom! |
| 18:17 | < MittenNinja_> | yeah |
| 18:17 | < MittenNinja_> | the company has a lot of holes if you end up as the defender or the primary though |
| 18:35 | < Mantisking> | I got stuck in the middle my last game and I was not prepared for it. Got my ass kicked. |
| 18:36 | < MittenNinja_> | FOr sure |
| 18:37 | < MittenNinja_> | I'm really looking forward to when all the newer players start getting into trying to bid their way into specific positions |
| 18:39 | < Mantisking> | Most of the time I bring a big ass squad and aim for Primary Attacker. |
| 18:40 | < MittenNinja_> | going for ma frames with max systems is the only way to know where you'll be for sure |
| 18:40 | < MittenNinja_> | *max |
| 18:41 | < MittenNinja_> | but if people catch wind that you like to do that, the can bring max frames with max systems -1 and underbid you and have a huge advantage |
| 18:44 | < Mantisking> | True. |
| 18:45 | < Mantisking> | I generally do it because I'm teaching someone how to play. If I'm always in the lead, how's that going to color their expectations of the game? |
| 18:46 | < MittenNinja_> | true, but at the same time you can purposefully be too aggresive as the defender and show them how the scores and intiatives shift |
| 18:47 | < MittenNinja_> | when i play to demo, I go out of my way to create situations that show mechanics of the game |
| 18:47 | < MittenNinja_> | even if its a bad move, I'll shoot cover, or put myself in a situation where frames act as cover for other frames to highlight the frames as cover rules |
| 18:48 | < MittenNinja_> | I'll rush guys forward through an open space to show how important cover is |
| 18:48 | < MittenNinja_> | stuff like that |
| 18:48 | < MittenNinja_> | its way better to show them how something works than to tell them |
| 18:49 | | mraichelson [mraichelson@Nightstar-3528b51d.dyn.centurytel.net] has joined #mf0 |
| 18:49 | < MittenNinja_> | heyo! |
| 18:49 | < MittenNinja_> | whats happening? |
| 18:53 | < Mantisking> | MR! |
| 19:05 | < mraichelson> | hola |
| 19:05 | | * mraichelson totally didn't start up IRC then end up on a conference call |
| 19:06 | < MittenNinja_> | lol |
| 19:07 | < MittenNinja_> | hows it goin? |
| 19:07 | < mraichelson> | s'arite. how's things here? |
| 19:08 | < MittenNinja_> | not too bad |
| 19:08 | < MittenNinja_> | pretty chill at the moment |
| 19:08 | < MittenNinja_> | me and mantis were just talking about company composition a bit |
| 19:08 | < mraichelson> | coolies. |
| 19:09 | < MittenNinja_> | I fielded a company where each frame had double yellows |
| 19:09 | < MittenNinja_> | its actually pretty darn effective as a secondary attacker |
| 19:09 | < MittenNinja_> | not so much defending or as the primary though |
| 19:11 | < mraichelson> | having only ever gotten to play once, i will nod my head and say "yes" |
| 19:11 | < MittenNinja_> | lol |
| 19:12 | < MittenNinja_> | you should get on that |
| 19:13 | < mraichelson> | i should. someone else just joined the hangar during the last signup round from the same town as me. then i had to go out of town for two weeks. |
| 19:13 | < mraichelson> | good news: 3 brick walls. bad news: none had travises. |
| 19:14 | < MittenNinja_> | boo |
| 19:15 | < Mantisking> | Bummer. |
| 19:15 | < Mantisking> | I've been meaning to hit the other Lego store that's somewhat near to me and check their wall. |
| 19:18 | < MittenNinja_> | I'm thinking I may throw the Tin Men company up for Creations for Charity |
| 19:22 | < Mantisking> | Would it be acceptable with the clone parts? |
| 19:23 | < MittenNinja_> | Thats a good question |
| 19:23 | < MittenNinja_> | if not I can always sub out other shoulders |
| 19:30 | < MittenNinja_> | Either way it should be a good company to donate |
| 19:40 | < Mantisking> | Do you have themed stations for them? |
| 19:40 | < MittenNinja_> | not yet |
| 19:40 | < MittenNinja_> | ill probably throw some together though |
| 19:40 | < Mantisking> | That's what I'm working on now. |
| 19:50 | < MittenNinja_> | Im going to be putting together a few companies to sell at the game shop I demo at as well here soon |
| 19:50 | < MittenNinja_> | I plan on keeping those relatively simple though |
| 20:00 | < Mantisking> | Probably a good idea. |
| 20:00 | < MittenNinja_> | yeah |
| 20:00 | < MittenNinja_> | going to stick to designs in the rulebook with some minor modifications |
| 20:00 | < MittenNinja_> | conscripts, hilegs, chubs etc |
| 20:01 | < MittenNinja_> | that way they can easily figure out how to put them back together |
| 20:05 | < MittenNinja_> | Alright guys, im out |
| 20:05 | < MittenNinja_> | catch ya later |
