| 04:32 | < Mantisking> | Well, at least it's not as much of a ghost-town as it was this morning. |
| 04:37 | < Rex> | Good evening. |

| 05:15 | < Rex> | Is anyone around? |
| 05:16 | < Rex> | I'm having problems with this brick, I can't figure out how to attach it at all. |
| 05:16 | < Ced23Ric> | You have 2 minutes. |
| 05:16 | < Ced23Ric> | I just woke up and am practically out of the door. :D |
| 05:17 | < Rex> | http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=92222 |
| 05:17 | < Rex> | Has 2...pins on the back. |
| 05:17 | < Rex> | Am I missing something with that? |
| 05:17 | < Ced23Ric> | There's three ways to use those. |
| 05:17 | < Ced23Ric> | 1.) Use the straight bar at the top / side. |
| 05:19 | < Ced23Ric> | 2.) Use a 1x2 brick /w 2 (or 4) studs on the side, a motor, two headlight bricks next to each other, or that weird base gunbody with holder part to shove the 2 bars into the holes. |
| 05:19 | < Ced23Ric> | 3.) Cut off the bars and use only the straight bar at the top. |
| 05:19 | < Ced23Ric> | Hope this heps, now I gotta go. |
| 05:19 | < Rex> | Danke |

| 15:13 | < Mantisking> | Just a little something to start out the day. |
| 16:23 | < mraichelson> | those 1x1 with double clip plates look like theyād be handy. |
| 16:37 | < Mantisking> | Yeah. I haven't begun experimenting with them yet. Beyond that one build. |
| 16:37 | < Mantisking> | I like the church ruins you just posted. |

| 16:50 | < Ced23Ric> | Heya. |
| 16:50 | < Ced23Ric> | Nice ruins! |
| 16:50 | < Ced23Ric> | Simple but effective. |
| 16:51 | < mraichelson> | bunch of random dark tan bits that were cheap. came together kind of handy. |
| 17:01 | < Ced23Ric> | You know what sucks? |
| 17:01 | < Ced23Ric> | I have 2 of 4 orders for my Ijad fleet and 1 of 2 orders for my HVAs. |
| 17:01 | < Ced23Ric> | How am I supposed to work like this? |
| 17:01 | < mraichelson> | :| |
| 17:01 | | * mraichelson shakes fist at random bricklink vendors. |
| 17:01 | < mraichelson> | why canāt all you unrelated strangers coordinate your shipments! |
| 17:01 | < mraichelson> | :) |
| 17:02 | < Ced23Ric> | Exactly! |
| 17:02 | < Ced23Ric> | Or be as dilligent as that one Dutch fellow. |
| 17:02 | < Ced23Ric> | Ordered Sat, invoice Sun, paid Sun, arrived Tuesday. |
| 17:03 | < Ced23Ric> | Stores that take a week to pack up my bricks annoy me. |
| 17:03 | < mraichelson> | yeah, iām at about a month now of waiting for one guy to send a bunch of stuff. :\ |
| 17:04 | < Ced23Ric> | I'm 3h away from freezing funds on Paypal. Always fun. |
| 17:04 | < mraichelson> | order created: may 25th. shipped: last thursday. |
| 17:04 | < Ced23Ric> | The woman forgot 4 parts and 2 sheets of stickers and doesn't react to my emails. |
| 17:04 | < Ced23Ric> | I got you beat there. |
| 17:04 | < Ced23Ric> | 4367333May 2, 2014 |
| 17:04 | < Ced23Ric> | Has not arrived yet. |
| 17:04 | < mraichelson> | ugh, thatās the worst. at least reply. |
| 17:04 | < Ced23Ric> | Came back to his store because he fucked up the address. |
| 17:05 | < Ced23Ric> | So he sent it again. |
| 17:05 | < Ced23Ric> | I'll shut it down end of this week. |
| 17:05 | < mraichelson> | yeah, no clue how long til this shows up. international shipping. |
| 17:06 | | * mraichelson shrugs, sorts more |
| 17:06 | < Ced23Ric> | Yupp. I am not too worried. |
| 17:32 | < Rex> | Thanks for the help earlier, Ced. |
| 17:32 | < Rex> | I went with a 1x1 clip plate. |
| 17:32 | < Ced23Ric> | Yeha, no biggy! :) |
| 17:33 | < Rex> | It's going to be kind of flimsy, but it looks cool. |
| 17:34 | < Ced23Ric> | I think I wanna build something with this: http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=47299 |
| 17:59 | < Mantisking> | What is it with people and proposing all these extra rules lately? |
| 18:02 | < Ced23Ric> | Coming out of the woodwork. |
| 18:02 | < Ced23Ric> | My problem isn't so much that they do that. |
| 18:02 | < Ced23Ric> | More ... what they do. |

| 18:17 | < Rex> | Hello |
| 18:22 | < Rex> | Ced, by "warp-mishaps" do you mean 40k-ish? |
| 18:22 | < Ced23Ric> | No. |
| 18:22 | < Ced23Ric> | I mean ... warp mishaps. |
| 18:23 | < Ced23Ric> | Read the wiki article. :) |
| 18:23 | < Rex> | Alright |
| 18:23 | < Rex> | I just couldn't tell exactly what you meant. |
| 18:23 | < Rex> | That's a relief. |

| 18:24 | < Rex> | Event Horizon was enough for me. |
| 18:24 | < Rex> | I saw that when I was 10 and couldn't sleep for a month. |
| 18:25 | < Ced23Ric> | Love that movie. |
| 18:26 | < Rex> | Have you seen Sunshine? |
| 18:26 | < Rex> | Vaguely similar. |
| 18:26 | < Ced23Ric> | Can't say I have. |
| 18:26 | < Rex> | It's really good. |

| 21:39 | < Soren> | hello! |
| 21:39 | < Mantisking> | Welcome back, Soren. |
| 21:39 | < Mantisking> | How was Denver? |
| 21:40 | < Soren> | Mixed. |
| 21:40 | < Soren> | I was happy to see family again. Everyone was happy to see me. |
| 21:40 | < Ced23Ric> | Yay! |
| 21:40 | < Mantisking> | That's the good. |
| 21:40 | < Soren> | Seeing Joshua again was exactly as fun and exhausting as it always is. |
| 21:40 | < Mantisking> | Heh. |
| 21:40 | < Ced23Ric> | Yay/Boo! |
| 21:40 | < Soren> | Smelled roughly 1000% more nerds than i wanted to. |
| 21:40 | < Ced23Ric> | Boo! |
| 21:40 | < Soren> | YEah. |
| 21:41 | < Ced23Ric> | You can hire me to cheer or boo for any occasion. |
| 21:41 | < Soren> | Wore my feet out. Iām standing on an ice pack now. |
| 21:41 | < Ced23Ric> | Boo! |
| 21:41 | < Mantisking> | I know how that feels. |
| 21:41 | < Ced23Ric> | Yupp, same. |
| 21:41 | < Mantisking> | How's your voice? |
| 21:41 | < Soren> | Better. |
| 21:42 | < Ced23Ric> | Did you shout a lot or did you get sick? |
| 21:42 | < Soren> | Iāve been sucking down ginger ale a lot. |
| 21:42 | < Soren> | I was there helping run demos for three days and i did a panel on Sunday. |
| 21:42 | < Ced23Ric> | Oh, nice. How did the panel go? |
| 21:42 | < Mantisking> | I almost went hoarse at PAX East this year. |
| 21:42 | < Soren> | Everybody seemed to enjoy it! |
| 21:42 | < Ced23Ric> | Did you? |
| 21:42 | < Soren> | I got to use some very rude metaphors. |
| 21:42 | < Soren> | Yeah. |
| 21:42 | < Mantisking> | LOL! |
| 21:43 | < Soren> | It was a bit short, but J and I got to answer most of the relevant questions and cover our talking points. |
| 21:43 | < Mantisking> | Laughing at the metaphors, not the enjoyment, btw. |
| 21:43 | < Soren> | I figured. |
| 21:44 | < Mantisking> | How were the crowds, in general? |
| 21:44 | < Soren> | Friday was moderately crowded. |
| 21:44 | < Soren> | Saturday was INSANE. |
| 21:44 | < Soren> | Sunday was a little less crowded than Sunday. |
| 21:44 | < Soren> | erm. |
| 21:44 | < Soren> | Friday. |
| 21:44 | < Soren> | Recursion is recursive, just like itself. |
| 21:45 | < Mantisking> | Sounds like overall it was more good than bad. |
| 21:45 | < Soren> | YEah |
| 21:45 | < Soren> | Wouldnāt do it again any time soon, didnāt regret it. |
| 21:46 | < Soren> | Oh, designed a new frame from scratch on the con floor. |
| 21:46 | < Mantisking> | Nice! |
| 21:46 | < Soren> | Greg might post it for me. |
| 21:48 | < Soren> | Letās see. |
| 21:48 | < Soren> | We sold completely out of books. |
| 21:48 | < Mantisking> | Someone posted on FB about having you and Joshua over and playing with Lego on thier living room floor. |
| 21:48 | < Soren> | J and I signed about a third to half of them. We didnāt keep track. |
| 21:49 | < Mantisking> | Greg mentioned the selling out of books bit. |
| 22:00 | < Mantisking> | Any hints as to what the con frame looks like? |
| 22:05 | < Soren> | Itās an ijad artillery model with somewhat longer and spindlier legs than usual. |
| 22:06 | | Mantisking [NSwebIRC@Nightstar-3lq4g4.fios.verizon.net] has quit [Ping timeout: 121 seconds] |
| 22:07 | < Rex> | Sounds neat. |
| 22:08 | < Soren> | Eh, it was a bit of a kludge based on what was available, but the colors are right and it was un. |
| 22:09 | < Soren> | fun* |
| 22:41 | < Ced23Ric> | I would like to see that. |
| 22:43 | < Ced23Ric> | Soren: I made those UMFL ships. |
| 22:43 | < Ced23Ric> | https://www.flickr.com/photos/79277138@N08/14251489650/ |
| 22:45 | < Soren> | Nice. |
| 22:46 | < Soren> | I like the launch bays particularly. |
| 22:46 | < Ced23Ric> | Yeah, me too. I was kind of juggling various ideas when I stumbled across my old friend, the 1x2 angular brick. |
| 22:46 | < Ced23Ric> | Can't see 'em in that shot, but that's the back of the bays. |
| 22:47 | < Ced23Ric> | And then I replaced the monocoloured underside with 1x4 plates in black/yellow for lane stripes. |
| 22:48 | < Ced23Ric> | I also finally decided on my IJAD fleet. |
| 22:48 | < Ced23Ric> | Blatantly stealing your designs. |
| 22:48 | < Ced23Ric> | http://www.ced23ric.de/stuff/mf0/IJAD_fleet.png |
| 22:48 | < Soren> | Thatās what theyāre there for. |
| 22:49 | < Ced23Ric> | I was stuck. |
| 22:49 | < Ced23Ric> | Kept throwing ideas away. |
| 22:49 | < Ced23Ric> | So I defaulted to the golden standard. |
| 22:49 | < Ced23Ric> | Which leaves the FC fleet to be designed. |
| 22:49 | < Ced23Ric> | I wanna go with the Star Sector approach. |
| 22:50 | < Ced23Ric> | Gutted tankers/freighters. |
| 22:50 | < Ced23Ric> | And then have the legit versions as HVAs. |
| 22:50 | < Ced23Ric> | But so far, no idea has really struck me there. |
| 22:51 | < Ced23Ric> | For the IJAD HVAs, I'll probably try my hand at a freigher spindle thing, using the frigate's front as a basis. |
| 22:52 | < Soren> | mm. |
| 22:53 | < Rex> | HVA? |
| 22:53 | < Ced23Ric> | High Value Asset. |
| 22:54 | < Ced23Ric> | Basically, ships that work like stations that you can move. |
| 22:54 | < Rex> | Neato |
| 22:56 | < Rex> | Are we talking like a flagship? |
| 22:56 | < Ced23Ric> | Think of a trading convoy. |
| 22:56 | < Ced23Ric> | You have destroyers, frigates et al running escort. |
| 22:56 | < Rex> | Gotcha |
| 22:57 | < Ced23Ric> | And there is non combattant ships in the middle. |
| 22:57 | < Ced23Ric> | Those are HVAs. |
| 22:57 | < Ced23Ric> | Troop transports, cargo freighters, VIP pleasure yachts, excavation ships, asteroid crackers, broken cap ships en route to repairs ... |
| 22:57 | < Ced23Ric> | ... anything that is of value but not able to fight. |
| 22:58 | < Rex> | I see. |
| 23:01 | < Ced23Ric> | I think I came up with a good, yet simplistic shape for a carrier. |
| 23:06 | < Rex> | Oh? |
| 23:06 | < Ced23Ric> | Mhmm. |
| 23:07 | < Ced23Ric> | I actually think this might wor if I use halfbeams. |
| 23:07 | < Rex> | I feel like all of the contents of my LDD files would be incredibly flimsy in physical form. |
| 23:08 | < Ced23Ric> | Goddamnit. I know the connection works, but LDD doesn't know it. |
| 23:12 | < Rex> | It happens. |
| 23:47 | < Ced23Ric> | Here's what I came up with. |
| 23:47 | < Ced23Ric> | http://www.ced23ric.de/stuff/mf0/FC_carrier.png |
| 23:47 | < Ced23Ric> | It is growing on me with the greebliness on top. |
| 23:48 | < Ced23Ric> | Think the 5M technic beams recessed one plate and with minifig hands as Point Defense turrets. |
| 23:50 | < Rex> | Nice use of parts. |
| 23:52 | < Ced23Ric> | The inside is a little dirty and messy. |
| 23:52 | < Ced23Ric> | But no one can see that, so whatever. |
