| 02:11 | < Mantisking> | Hello? |
| 02:16 | < Shades_Corvid> | I am here |
| 02:16 | < Shades_Corvid> | I think that blog post is finished but will post it tomorrow. |
| 02:18 | < Mantisking> | Nice post today. |
| 02:19 | < Shades_Corvid> | Thank you, just wrote it from the hip. Kind of surprise how big it ended up being. |
| 02:19 | < Shades_Corvid> | Just wrapped up Dr.Strangebrick... |
| 02:20 | < Shades_Corvid> | oh, not done. the after order process! |
| 02:23 | < Mantisking> | Heh. |
| 02:23 | < Mantisking> | I typed up a review and took pictures for it this morning. |
| 02:23 | < Mantisking> | Hopefully i'll get a couple more done tomorrow. |
| 02:24 | < Shades_Corvid> | I have all the pictures done for the series 1 mixels waiting to be edited and be bloged @_@. I was just talking with my partner that the next three day weekend I don't want to have any plans but opening up lego sets and taking pictures. |
| 02:25 | < Shades_Corvid> | Ug, I have one set that is sort of on top of the list I got on clearence. It a friends set with a moped... |
| 02:26 | < Mantisking> | I think I've seen that set. |
| 02:26 | < Shades_Corvid> | I am going to put a frame on the moped... |
| 02:27 | < Mantisking> | I have a bunch of Chima polybags waiting to be reviewed. |
| 02:27 | < Mantisking> | And I still have to do the Series 3 Mixels. |
| 02:27 | < Shades_Corvid> | I have A LOT, even some micro bricks to play around with scale ideas |
| 02:27 | < Shades_Corvid> | One is a Mantis... |
| 02:27 | < Shades_Corvid> | Might build it a crown |
| 02:28 | < Mantisking> | I've got two of those microbricks Mantis sets. |
| 02:28 | < Mantisking> | I haven't opened either one. |
| 02:28 | < Shades_Corvid> | LOL |
| 02:28 | < Mantisking> | I may donate them to my kung fu school. |
| 02:28 | < Shades_Corvid> | awesome |
| 02:30 | < Shades_Corvid> | Now Dr.Strangebrick is done |
| 02:31 | < Mantisking> | Cool. |
| 02:31 | < Shades_Corvid> | Will post it in the morning before going to work *groan* |
| 02:33 | < Shades_Corvid> | I am excited for PAX East next year already! Going to be crazy, will be going to Disney World for like a week a month before! |
| 02:38 | < Shades_Corvid> | I am done blogging or whatever for the night. The spousal equivalent is not having a good night. |
| 02:44 | | addking [chatzilla@Nightstar-7ck7ep.mi.comcast.net] has joined #mf0 |
| 02:45 | < addking> | ha! I won today... |
| 02:45 | < Shades_Corvid> | ah! |
| 02:45 | < Shades_Corvid> | Congrats! |
| 02:45 | < addking> | I didn't even lose a frame. I had one limping around with 2 whites... but no one died. |
| 02:45 | < addking> | ended up as primary attacker actually |
| 02:46 | < Shades_Corvid> | Wow |
| 02:46 | < addking> | Since I have the sheets I'm gonna start a report, I took notes. |
| 02:46 | < addking> | Well, apparently I cast 'Mind Control' on a player for one frames action and caused a wicked cascade |
| 02:46 | < Shades_Corvid> | Though don't you have to end up the Defender to win...because once you are winning your the defender |
| 02:46 | < Shades_Corvid> | or you mean you started off as |
| 02:47 | < addking> | I had 21 points at start.. 5 frames. end up with 5 frames and 2 extra stations |
| 02:47 | < addking> | It was mostly not taking deaths and capping stations |
| 02:47 | < addking> | and of course rolling a lot of 6s |
| 02:50 | < Shades_Corvid> | taking a station and keeping it is always good as you take away points AND earn them that way. |
| 02:51 | < Mantisking> | Sounds like an awesome game. |
| 02:51 | < addking> | I actually chalk up the win to our defender playing a bit haphazardly and good rolls allowing me to 'kite' a melee frame long enough to win. |
| 02:51 | < Mantisking> | Can't wait to see the report. |
| 02:52 | < addking> | I'm not sure how much of the details I got in it, we finished up at 6, went out to dinner, then played a couple board/card games. I just got in 20 mins ago |
| 02:52 | < addking> | good day. lotta fun. |
| 02:52 | < addking> | apparently i'm a savant at 'Sushi Go' |
| 02:53 | < addking> | altho I was terrible at 'The Great Heartland Trucking Game' which I've played about 20 times... =( |
| 02:53 | < addking> | so it all balances out |
| 02:55 | < Shades_Corvid> | lol |
| 02:55 | < addking> | I'll toss some fluff in for the report as well. Two of the three of us played 'factions' the third guy hasn't read the setting details... but has the rules down pat. |
| 02:55 | < addking> | Victory for the Ijad today |
| 02:57 | < addking> | woo, I forgot how annoying it is to type out the stat blocks |
| 02:57 | < Shades_Corvid> | lol |
| 02:57 | < addking> | oh, can I just click on the icons? |
| 02:57 | < addking> | for ranges? |
| 02:57 | < Mantisking> | Hopefully I'll have squads of all the faction frames done for next year. |
| 02:58 | < addking> | oh hell ya i can. guess I didn't know they are 'smileys' =/ |
| 02:58 | < addking> | well this will go faster |
| 03:01 | < addking> | I honestly can't believe I typed them out by hand before |
| 03:01 | < Mantisking> | Heh. |
| 03:02 | < Shades_Corvid> | Willing to reveal any of your other ideas yet? |
| 03:04 | < Mantisking> | There was something else, I think I got all the details nailed down with Joshua already. |
| 03:04 | < Mantisking> | I may have discussed it in a chat before. It's late and I can't rremember. |
| 03:05 | < Shades_Corvid> | it ok, I think I am going to side out to eat and snuggle on the couch for the night to fall asleep on the couch as I wait for my partner to get back in if at all tonight. |
| 03:06 | | Shades_Corvid [ShadesCorvi@Nightstar-kl2vpt.fios.verizon.net] has quit [Connection closed] |
| 03:11 | < Mantisking> | Later. |
| 03:17 | < addking> | Trying to give it any kinda flow still takes time. And trying to figure out what the hell I wrote doesn't help either |
| 03:20 | < Mantisking> | I should get Tom to post his notes system to the Hangar. |
| 03:20 | < Mantisking> | It makes things very easy to keep track of. |
| 03:36 | < Mantisking> | There's a shot of it in this battle report. http://the-mobile-frame-garage.blogspot.com/2014/08/battle-report-fleet-exercise -part-1.html |
| 03:54 | < addking> | woo done. |
| 03:55 | < addking> | I really need to write more actions per round and print in BLOCK letters so I can read it later! ;) |
| 03:57 | < Mantisking> | I know what you mean. |
| 03:58 | < Mantisking> | Keep in mind, sometimes it's better to hit the highlights of the round and not catch every last little action. |
| 04:05 | < addking> | that's true but there was a couple really funny quips that went with failed attacks, that I didn't make a note of - the later rounds were much faster and less funny ... |
| 04:06 | < addking> | I also don't remember which round my little 2 white dice got flee'd in, but he got an 8 on Gd8 and just hauled it for safety |
| 04:06 | < addking> | I think it was round 3 but it could have been 4, he was out in the kill zone longer than he should have been |
| 04:13 | < addking> | I might be able to actually round up a game for next weekend as well. Two of my regulars said they are free next weekend.. so maybe. |
| 04:37 | < addking> | That is a nice way to keep track of points. Now from what I read IO's points seem to flux a lot more than RA? |
| 04:41 | < Mantisking> | Yeah. |
| 04:41 | < Mantisking> | It gets a little crazy. |
| 04:42 | < Mantisking> | I don't know why I bother with Board Game Geek. |
| 04:43 | < addking> | y'know I like board games, own a few that I like, and have played a fair bit of the. I don't go to BGG ever. |
| 04:44 | < addking> | them* |
| 04:45 | < addking> | I hit the boardgame subreddit once in a while - but I mostly just watch Shut Up & Sit Down and Dice Tower reviews once in a while. |
| 04:46 | < Mantisking> | I've had a couple of posts refused and it's usually for stupid reasons. |
| 04:46 | < addking> | A friend of a friend is a massive boardgame collector/obsessive so I guess I benefit from trickle down? We get together and have a huge boardgame day couple times a year... |
| 04:47 | < addking> | just poor moderation or automated mess? |
| 04:49 | < Mantisking> | Poor moderation. |
| 04:50 | < Mantisking> | I once tried to post pictures of some frames and had them rejected because some idiot didn't understand that they were playing pieces. |
| 04:50 | < Mantisking> | I rewrote the post and I'm submitting it again. Let's see if it works this time. |
| 04:51 | < Mantisking> | I'm not even sure why I bother, it's a ghost town over there for MFZ. |
| 04:56 | < addking> | Well, it doesn't hurt to reach out. Most of my group are boardgame/RPG players... two of them had played warmachine or 40k before, but the rest had never done tabletop wargaming outside of moving dnd guys in combat. |
| 04:56 | < addking> | I just wish I could get a couple of them a bit more into the setting. |
| 04:57 | < Mantisking> | Why? |
| 04:57 | < addking> | Because a couple to them are the same guys who complain about 'out of character' comments at D&D. =/ |
| 04:58 | < addking> | I don't think it's hard to read 15 pages half pages of fluff and just pick a faction out of 3. |
| 04:59 | < addking> | I'm not saying they need to write backstory or anything, i just find it nicer to write a battle report with a few comments about the setting. |
| 05:01 | < addking> | it certainly isn't going to stop me from getting a game in. |
| 05:03 | < Mantisking> | Ah, okay. |
| 05:03 | < Mantisking> | It's kinda funny that the setting is the last thing my gaming group cares about. |
| 05:06 | < addking> | Oh I understand that. I mean it's mostly about having fun and talking shit. |
| 05:11 | < Mantisking> | Okay, I'm done for the night. Catch you later. |
