| 18:06 | < MittenNinja> | Heya Mantis! |
| 18:08 | < Mantisking> | Hey. |
| 18:09 | < MittenNinja> | whats going on? |
| 18:20 | < Mantisking> | Not much. Trying to survive 'til the weekend. |
| 18:20 | < Mantisking> | You? |
| 18:21 | < MittenNinja> | just started my four day stretch of no work |
| 18:21 | < MittenNinja> | planning on getting some stuff figured out for putting frames in my local game shop |
| 18:24 | < MittenNinja> | starting out with some regular ol chubs and see how that goes |
| 18:25 | < MittenNinja> | I should also have another design jounral post sometime this weekend |
| 18:26 | < MittenNinja> | planning on adding any more guys to your Drache Ei company? |
| 18:34 | < Mantisking> | I'm at five right now. I think that's a solid number. I added SSRs last night. |
| 18:35 | < MittenNinja> | nice |
| 18:35 | < MittenNinja> | yeah five is pretty solid |
| 18:35 | < MittenNinja> | it allows you to play no matter how many players in a skirmish or battle |
| 18:35 | < Mantisking> | Besides, I'd have to buy more sets to make them. And I think I've cleaned out the local area of the Combat Chopper and Land Defence sets. |
| 18:35 | < MittenNinja> | there is always the internets! |
| 18:38 | < Mantisking> | I prefer brick and mortar. It keeps me from spending too much. |
| 18:38 | | MittenNinja_ [NSwebIRC@Nightstar-eca6a0cb.co.comcast.net] has joined #mf0 |
| 18:38 | < Mantisking> | I'm thinking of making more of my "Bullfrog" Kre-O frame too. |
| 18:39 | < MittenNinja_> | yeah? |
| 18:39 | < MittenNinja_> | dont you need land defense sets for that one too? |
| 18:39 | | MittenNinja [NSwebIRC@Nightstar-eca6a0cb.co.comcast.net] has quit [Ping timeout: 121 seconds] |
| 18:40 | < MittenNinja_> | i suppose they dont have the green though |
| 18:41 | < Mantisking> | The Bullfrog is all black and greys. |
| 18:43 | < MittenNinja_> | yeah, but i was thinking as to why you wouldnt build more of the other guys |
| 18:45 | < Mantisking> | I'm all out of those louvered green Inverted Slope pices that make up the front of the cockpit for the Drache Ei. |
| 18:48 | < MittenNinja_> | gotcha |
| 18:49 | < MittenNinja_> | those were in the combat chopper set right? |
| 18:49 | | FlakManiak [NSwebIRC@Nightstar-a5c6692c.marlboro.edu] has joined #mf0 |
| 18:49 | < FlakManiak> | Hey. |
| 18:50 | < MittenNinja_> | sup? |
| 18:50 | < MittenNinja_> | The sand green is strong with this one |
| 18:50 | < FlakManiak> | Yeah well I saw your sand green guys and I figured why not get a Brandenburg Gate. |
| 18:50 | < FlakManiak> | Never even built it; just for parts. |
| 18:50 | < MittenNinja_> | its a really great color |
| 18:51 | < MittenNinja_> | yeah neither did i |
| 18:51 | < MittenNinja_> | i wish they made fmore of it |
| 18:51 | < MittenNinja_> | even just 1x1 tiles would be nice |
| 18:51 | < FlakManiak> | So I was messing around on Flickr trying to figure out how to embed images from Flickr in posts, and their supplied BBCode doesn't seem to work. |
| 18:51 | < FlakManiak> | I think I might just use Imgur like I did before. |
| 18:51 | < MittenNinja_> | huh |
| 18:51 | < MittenNinja_> | it works for me |
| 18:52 | < FlakManiak> | I guess I should go back and update my first company's post with smaller images as long as I'm messing with my posts to make them nicer. |
| 18:52 | < FlakManiak> | But I think I need to photo the rest of my companies because I have six assembled and only two posted. |
| 18:52 | < FlakManiak> | My backlog is huge. |
| 18:52 | < MittenNinja_> | yeah the flickr bbcode works |
| 18:52 | < MittenNinja_> | i just doube checked it |
| 18:53 | < MittenNinja_> | did you have html checked still? |
| 18:53 | < FlakManiak> | Oh, maybe it's a post preview thing? Because when I put the supplied stuff from Flickr in and check the post preview it doesn't seem to work. |
| 18:53 | < FlakManiak> | Okay I'll try some more stuff. |
| 18:53 | < MittenNinja_> | preview hsould workt oo |
| 18:53 | < MittenNinja_> | does the text it gices you start with "[ur=somthing]" or "<a href=something>" |
| 18:54 | < MittenNinja_> | wow i cant type today |
| 18:54 | < MittenNinja_> | "[url=something]" |
| 18:56 | < FlakManiak> | It's one of the "<a href=" kinds. |
| 18:56 | < FlakManiak> | Also I'm surprised people don't like the artillery guy. I think it might look better in person? But I'll try a shoulder-mounted version. I know just how I'll do it. |
| 19:00 | < Mantisking> | I also picked up a Brandenburg Gate set recently. Haven't had the chance to open it up yet. |
| 19:01 | < Mantisking> | Oh, and hopping back to the Drache Ei, I'm trying to figure out all Kre-O stations for them. |
| 19:01 | < MittenNinja_> | yeah that's the html code |
| 19:01 | < MittenNinja_> | not the bbcode |
| 19:02 | < FlakManiak> | Oh hey, the button to switch is right there. Silly me. |
| 19:02 | < MittenNinja_> | yep! |
| 19:03 | < MittenNinja_> | I think the reason why people aren't digging it is because they're basically just one piece and the are really long and look disproportinate to the frame. It doesn't seem like it'd be able to hold them like that. |
| 19:03 | < MittenNinja_> | if you go shoulder mounted it should look more proportinal |
| 19:04 | < FlakManiak> | Yeah it's true the gun barrels are a bit long. There was one pose I got it in ages ago that really looked right but nothing since quite captured the feel. |
| 19:06 | < MittenNinja_> | they're just too long to be feasible really |
| 19:06 | < MittenNinja_> | i mean, try holding a broom straight out while just holding onto the end with one hand. |
| 19:06 | < MittenNinja_> | there is so much pressure there |
| 19:07 | < MittenNinja_> | then again, i like to make my frames make sense when it comes to engineering theory |
| 19:09 | < FlakManiak> | Yeah I guess realism kind of never enters my thinking when I'm building. |
| 19:10 | < Mantisking> | They might work a bit better if you had a magazine or some other form of counter-weight at the back of the weapon. |
| 19:10 | < FlakManiak> | Hmm yeah. Magazines would look great. |
| 19:11 | < FlakManiak> | The shoulder-mount idea I had turns out to look silly. |
| 19:12 | < MittenNinja_> | you could always attach them like mortars in heavy gear[ |
| 19:13 | < MittenNinja_> | strapped to the back facing straight up |
| 19:15 | < FlakManiak> | With the arms rotated slightly forwards that looks pretty alright. |
| 19:16 | < Mantisking> | I used the same piece in my white Hecaton frame. I shoulder mounted them with a magazine. |
| 19:16 | < FlakManiak> | Actually I rotated the shoulders a chunk forwards so the shoulder armor bits almost look like extensions of chest armor or something. |
| 19:27 | < FlakManiak> | I guess maybe I should put the larger versions on Flickr or something, but the shots are so close up that even the 800x600 ones show everything and then some. Every speck of dust is there. |
| 19:28 | < FlakManiak> | Anyway I've been working on a secret project to outdo the Tyrant Paladin recently and the arms are where I've kind of stalled out, because super Chub shoulders make it tough to get the proportions right. |
| 19:29 | < FlakManiak> | (Actually it's probably the large legs and short torso that are making things look wrong) |
| 19:32 | < FlakManiak> | Oh also, might it be possible to get some kind of Northeast game/building group together this winter? I'm at school in the middle of nowhere in Vermont right now but when I get back to Massachusetts I could do with some in-person building events. |
| 19:38 | < Mantisking> | Where in MA are you? |
| 19:55 | < FlakManiak> | Lexington, when I'm home. |
| 19:56 | < Mantisking> | Really? I'm in Natick. I'm a student at a kung fu school in Concord. |
| 20:16 | < FlakManiak> | Hmm, so just three towns over or so, according to Wikipedia's maps. |
| 20:34 | < Mantisking> | Yeah. There's another MoF0 in Natick, and a friend of mine lives in Cambridge. |
| 20:34 | < Mantisking> | Plus Joshua and Vincent out in Greenfield. |
| 20:37 | < FlakManiak> | Joshua's that close? The Joshua? |
| 20:41 | < Mantisking> | Yup. |

| 21:05 | < addking> | afternoon |
| 21:10 | < FlakManiak> | Hey. |
| 21:13 | < Mantisking> | Hey. |
| 21:18 | < addking> | so i have a game tomorrow. 4 player, skirmish. each player gets 3-4 frames 2 stations. it's likely I'll be the target EVEN if i'm not the defender (i know my friends.) what loadouts would you run? |
| 21:18 | < addking> | i already have mine planned, but I'm curious to see what other ppl would use. |
| 21:26 | < Mantisking> | Max frames, max attachments. Go for broke against the two middle players. |
| 21:28 | < Mantisking> | Heh. Someone on RPG.net described my Drache Ei frames as "Armored Attack Mailboxes". |
| 21:34 | | MittenNinja_ [NSwebIRC@Nightstar-eca6a0cb.co.comcast.net] has quit [[NS] Quit: Page closed] |
| 21:41 | < FlakManiak> | I could see that. |
| 21:42 | < FlakManiak> | What's the scale like on them? |
| 21:44 | < addking> | I really like the Drache Ei, and I'm a lego purist ;P |
| 21:44 | < addking> | I'm guessing Max frames max attachments will just lead to roll-offs. |
| 21:45 | < Mantisking> | The Drache Ei is a tiny bit shorter than the Chub. http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=5954839 |
| 21:45 | < addking> | in prior games, only 2 of my group (Jeremy and myself) have shown any finesse in not doing max load outs. |
| 21:46 | < addking> | I guess my question is: aim to defend, or be the next (first?) attacker. |
| 21:50 | < Mantisking> | You could always go three frames, 11 attachments. That could get you defender. |
| 21:52 | < FlakManiak> | So are you guys stipulating that the max frames is 4 and the minimum is 3? |
| 21:52 | < addking> | that's the rules ;P |
| 21:55 | < FlakManiak> | Oh, four player does that by default? I thought it was 3-5, like three player. |
| 22:02 | < Mantisking> | Alright, I gotta run. Catch you guys later. |
