| 00:40 | < Mantisking> | I see some Soren influence. |
| 00:40 | < Ced23Ric> | Oh, yes. |
| 00:40 | < Ced23Ric> | He helped me through a pickle. |

| 00:42 | < Ced23Ric> | Greg, phone or PC? |

| 00:50 | < Mantisking_> | PITA. |
| 00:50 | < Ced23Ric> | Yeah. |
| 00:51 | < Mantisking_> | So what's the Clone Brick availability like over in Germany? |

| 00:53 | < Mantisking_> | Wow. That dude on Reddit really is an obnoxious ass. |
| 00:54 | < Ced23Ric> | Clone Bricks? Not many, really. |
| 00:54 | < Ced23Ric> | We gotta import it from the UK via eBay. |
| 00:55 | < Mantisking_> | Okay. |
| 01:07 | < MittenNinja1> | phone, and im at work. what guy? |
| 01:08 | < Mantisking_> | CaptainBenza. |
| 01:17 | < Ced23Ric> | http://www.ced23ric.de/stuff/mf0/UMFL_carrier_01.png |
| 01:17 | < Ced23Ric> | That thing has a hollow 1x4, 6 deep launch bay for frames. |
| 01:19 | < Ced23Ric> | Oh well. I am getting tired and it's 2:15am. |
| 01:20 | < Mantisking_> | G'Night, then. |
| 01:21 | < Ced23Ric> | Have a good one, guys. |

| 06:10 | < MittenNinja> | anyone around? |
| 06:11 | < FlakManiak1> | I am. |
| 06:11 | < MittenNinja> | hows it goin? |
| 06:12 | < FlakManiak1> | Better than it was, which is about all I can say these days. So many integration techniques to learn! |
| 06:13 | < FlakManiak1> | When I get home in eleven days I might be able to photograph my caped frame squad and my two newish one-off frames. |
| 06:16 | < FlakManiak1> | Partial fractions, u-substitution, integration by parts... |
| 06:16 | < FlakManiak1> | And many more besides. |
| 06:17 | < MittenNinja> | nice |
| 06:17 | < MittenNinja> | look forward to seeing them! |
| 06:20 | < FlakManiak1> | (I believe one caped guy got photographed by Joshua at PAX East, so you might be able to find that picture online somewhere.) |
| 06:21 | < FlakManiak1> | I'm quite proud of the cape design. One night I was sitting and contemplating, and I got the idea for a cape using a certain kind of joint, so I hopped on LDD and eventually made my cape design. |
| 06:22 | < FlakManiak1> | One of those moments where an idea pops into my head and I just realize "I must design this". |
| 06:22 | < FlakManiak1> | I don't know why I even thought of it. |
| 06:23 | < MittenNinja> | ive had those moments |
| 06:23 | < FlakManiak1> | Oh and I have ideas for yet more giant one-off mechs, but I'll have to look into parts acquisition for the first of those, and designs for others aren't anywhere near finished. |
| 06:24 | < FlakManiak1> | Just vague ideas and lots of problems. |
| 06:24 | < FlakManiak1> | Ever since solving the flight stand problem for my big project, though, I've felt great about making however big an aerial frame I like, because I know I'll be able to balance it, pretty much. |
| 06:25 | < FlakManiak1> | (Also I should make more flying companies, because I've all these flight stands lying around burning a hole in my pocket. I want to feel extravagant for using them, not for not using them!) |
| 06:26 | < MittenNinja> | i hear ua |
| 06:26 | < MittenNinja> | *ya |
| 06:26 | < MittenNinja> | i used a bunch for targeting drones for the pit vipers i sold |
| 06:26 | < MittenNinja> | i dont think i have any more |
| 06:28 | < FlakManiak1> | Bragging about my pile of parts in use is extravagant and evil, but shows power (building skill) in addition to wealth of parts. A pile of unused parts is greed and sloth. My favorite sin is pride. (I'm getting a bit loopy at this hour. I should go sleep.) |
| 06:28 | < FlakManiak1> | Which ones are the Pit Vipers? |
| 06:30 | < FlakManiak1> | (I guess I'm saying I'd love to lord my pile of parts over people but only insofar as they're all put to good use, and I feel guilty for having lots of parts that aren't used.) |

| 06:31 | < MittenNinja> | your cape guy is grey with a sniper rifle right? |
| 06:32 | < FlakManiak1> | Yeah. |
| 06:33 | < FlakManiak1> | I haven't seen the photo so I don't know if it shows off the cape well. |
| 06:33 | < FlakManiak1> | But I'll make sure to take copious back shots when I photo the squad. |
| 06:34 | | Netsplit *.net <-> *.split quits: Soren |
| 06:34 | < FlakManiak1> | And as usual for my current builds I'll have an LDD in the first post because why not, I had the file before the bricks were ordered. |
| 06:34 | < MittenNinja> | there is one picture on josh's twitter feed |
| 06:34 | < MittenNinja> | for sure |
| 06:34 | < MittenNinja> | i tend not to use ldd |
| 06:34 | < MittenNinja> | i prefer fiddling in the brick |
| 06:37 | < FlakManiak1> | My biggest design innovations (and all my original chassis designs) have been designed in the brick. It has definite advantages. One it lacks, however, is letting me fiddle with all sorts of parts I don't have. So I like to use both digital and physical. |
| 06:37 | < FlakManiak1> | Neither is sufficient for me. |

| 06:39 | < MittenNinja> | year i hear ya. i will bring it up to get an idea of how a part i dont have will interact with other stuff |
| 06:39 | < MittenNinja> | but then if i think it has potential i order a few of them |
| 06:40 | < MittenNinja> | there is just so much more when you can manipulate the bricks in your hands |
| 06:41 | < FlakManiak1> | Ah there it is. I wish the frame were standing up and I wish it were a shot from the back. Doesn't really show off the cape structure that well, but it's a fine shot of the frame's chassis and gun. |
| 06:42 | < MittenNinja> | yeah |
| 06:42 | < MittenNinja> | itll be nice to see your shots |
| 06:43 | < MittenNinja> | well, im off to bed. nice talking with you dude |

| 19:23 | < MittenNinja> | i havent checked them today yet |
| 19:24 | < MittenNinja> | seems to be working fine for me |
| 19:24 | < Mantisking> | Looks like it was just a bad connection. |
| 19:33 | < Mantisking> | My work computer is not cooperating with me today. |
| 19:33 | < Mantisking> | How are things with you? |
| 19:35 | < MittenNinja> | not too bad man. |
| 19:35 | < MittenNinja> | just getting ready for our remodel at work |
| 19:35 | < MittenNinja> | its going to be a long couple of weeks |
| 19:38 | < Mantisking> | You're a restaurant manager, right? |
| 19:39 | < MittenNinja> | yeah |
| 19:41 | < Mantisking> | I'm guessing your going to be closed during the remodel. |
| 19:46 | < Mantisking> | Plenty of time to work on the DCC customs? |
| 19:46 | < MittenNinja> | yeah, but there is still a ton of stuff to do. |
| 19:46 | < MittenNinja> | not likely |
| 19:50 | < MittenNinja> | really the only thing im waiting on is finding out my budget for them |

| 20:12 | < Mantisking> | :-) |
| 20:15 | < mraichelson> | yeah, i tend to lose this window in the back while iām doing work though. |
| 20:16 | < Mantisking> | Understandable. |
| 20:16 | < Mantisking> | Luckily i'm in an office and I don't have anyone looking over my shoulder. |
| 20:21 | < mraichelson> | yeah, i work from home, i just end up with too much stuff open. :) |

| 21:00 | < Mantisking> | Someone just used my handle -- along with mobile frame zero -- as a search term to find my blog. |
| 21:06 | < MittenNinja> | it happens |

| 21:15 | < mraichelson> | did they end up finding the mantisking thatās a bankruptcy lawyer in california instead? |
| 21:15 | < Mantisking> | I'm hoping you're kidding. |
| 21:16 | < mraichelson> | half. (thereās a lawyer in ca with the same name as me and that happens sometimes) |
| 21:16 | < mraichelson> | but now it is tempting to try to googlebomb āmantisking and mantisking, attorneys at lawā in to the search results. |
| 21:17 | < Mantisking> | It'd be funnier if it was a female divorce attorney called Mantis Queen. |
| 21:17 | < mraichelson> | lol |
| 21:20 | < Ced23Ric> | Hey guys. |
| 21:20 | < Mantisking> | Hey. |
| 21:20 | < Ced23Ric> | So, preliminary IO rules. |
| 21:20 | < Mantisking> | Yup. |
| 21:20 | < Ced23Ric> | Spot Ace is cut down in size. I approve. |
| 21:20 | < Mantisking> | Well, range not ability. |
| 21:20 | < Ced23Ric> | Also Green Ace got a boost. Great, too. |
| 21:21 | < Ced23Ric> | Range is pretty important. |
| 21:21 | < Ced23Ric> | now you have to expose Spot Ace to use him. |
| 21:21 | < Ced23Ric> | Can't spot from hiding. |
| 21:21 | < Mantisking> | From what I remember, the Movement Ace is about the same. |
| 21:23 | < Ced23Ric> | Green can now move other things. |
| 21:23 | < Ced23Ric> | Which is pretty great. |
| 21:24 | < Mantisking> | It could since the demos I ran at PAX East. |
| 21:28 | < Ced23Ric> | Then I misread it. |
| 21:28 | < Ced23Ric> | well enough. |
| 21:29 | < Mantisking> | Hopefully I'll be able to get another game in soon. |
| 21:40 | < MittenNinja> | i thought the Y ace could only spot in point range before? |
| 21:45 | < Mantisking> | I'd have to check the old rules. I was playing it at ruler length. |
| 22:02 | < Mantisking> | Okay, I'm out. Catch you all later. |
| 22:02 | | Mantisking [NSwebIRC@Nightstar-3lq4g4.fios.verizon.net] has quit [[NS] Quit: Page closed] |
| 22:11 | < FlakManiak1> | Hmm. I should try to solicit commissions during the summer. I imagine I could make and sell more blue dragons at the least. |
| 22:15 | < MittenNinja> | you can make a few extra bucks, but its generally not huge moeny |
| 22:20 | < FlakManiak1> | Yeah the margins would presumably be fairly small but ideally I'd get to do some interesting and satisfying building and gain more notoriety by showing off the designs. |
