11:14:13 <s_gmusic> well this seems bad. anyone awake for some advice? primered a Reaper Bones plastic fig last night, but the paint still feels slightly tacky to the touch. thoughts?
11:15:03 <s_gmusic> kind of scared about leaving fingerprints in it, but don't want to try another layer of primer lest it kill some of the details.
11:31:56 <Brunius> Did you leave it out overnight?
11:33:56 <s_gmusic> yeah, it's been in my room. didn't box it or anything. the two metal figs I primered at the same time are dry.
11:34:08 <Brunius> Strange
11:34:12 <Brunius> How humid is it in your room?
11:34:28 <Brunius> Sometimes it can take on moisture from the air
11:34:52 <s_gmusic> not very. it's winter, so that dries things out a bit, and I don't have too much heat going. it's usually about 60-65F in my room.
11:35:37 <Brunius> Only thing I can suggest is leaving it longer. I've never had that problem
11:36:06 <s_gmusic> ok
11:37:34 <s_gmusic> would having a small, light fan on it hurt or help?
11:38:04 <Brunius> I wouldn't think it could hurt
14:46:13 <Mekkis> s_gmusic, did you wash the mini first?
14:49:37 <Ulzef> hi all
14:50:57 <s_gmusic> yeah, mekkis. I wash all my minis before I glue them.

15:34:23 <Mekkis> hi ul
15:35:35 <Brunius> s_gmusic, you didn't notice anything unusual about the plastic, did you?
15:36:01 <Brunius> Are bones minis plastic or resin, anyway
15:42:10 <Mekkis> they're plastic
15:42:16 <Mekkis> what primer are you using?
15:44:11 <s_gmusic> aerosol primer, which a FAQ just said "Many aerosol primers will not cure completely on Bones. Reaper forum members have reported good results with the Army Painter sprays."
15:44:13 <s_gmusic> *sigh*
15:44:35 <Brunius> strange
15:46:26 <s_gmusic> I'll let it sit for a couple days and not touch it. maybe it'll dry by then. otherwise, will have to clean the primer off and try painting without it.
15:47:18 <s_gmusic> and whatever kind of polymer they use for Bones, you can apparently throw the mini in a solution of Simple Green cleaner and let it soak overnight before brushing away the old paint. doesn't seem to harm the mini.
15:47:37 <s_gmusic> until then, though, I'm going to get back to work on this EDH deck.
15:47:58 <Mekkis> I've always used army painter sprays
15:59:04 <s_gmusic> well if it's not dry after a few days, I'll remove the primer and try painting directly on it.
15:59:15 <s_gmusic> for now, anyone in here play Magic: the Gathering?
16:02:02 <Mekkis> I judge it
16:03:57 <s_gmusic> know much on EDH/Commander?
16:07:33 <Mekkis> yeah'
16:07:38 <Mekkis> 5 or 6 decks
16:08:18 <s_gmusic> lol! okay, then, any tips? never really played before and the only deck I have is the Naya pregen from Commander 2013.
16:09:29 <Mekkis> depends
16:09:45 <Mekkis> don't make a deck that pisses everyone off, unless you can beat them all
16:12:09 <s_gmusic> so for something more specific: is 42 land an "average" amount?
16:14:26 <Mekkis> it's a bit on the high side
16:14:31 <Mekkis> I go 38 or so
16:18:25 <s_gmusic> ah, ok. I'll adjust the land once I get to test the deck a bit. the precon came with 42, so I exchanged 1:1 and changed the colors a bit.
16:19:58 <Mekkis> it depends how many nonland mana sources you have, what your mana curve is like, how much searching you have, how much cheap draw you have
16:21:22 <s_gmusic> many big beasties, but not much non-mana sources. got a sol ring and birds of paradise, at least.
16:22:39 <Brunius> Pro tip garnered from my first EDH game: Don't drop a Suture priest turn 2
16:22:48 <Brunius> Then nevermore someone's commander turn 3
16:22:54 <Brunius> It makes everyone hate you
16:23:30 <s_gmusic> LOL
16:24:20 <s_gmusic> I must find Nevermore. ( ¬.¬)
16:25:07 <s_gmusic> actually, I think I heard a couple people running True-Name Nemesis, so may Nevermore that instead.

16:27:21 <s_gmusic> True-Name Nemesis and a Strip Mine/Crucible of Worlds combo have resulted in more than a couple ragequits at my store. :\
16:27:43 <Mekkis> or just "don't play with that jerk"
16:28:00 yanta has quit (Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client)
16:28:00 <Mekkis> or "gang up on that jerk so he doesn't nuke your land"
16:28:32 <s_gmusic> yup. that's what happened afterward. he's also one of those guys that preach "if you're not playing to win, you shouldn't be playing at all." :furious:
16:28:48 <Mekkis> so he stopped winning?

16:29:16 <Brunius> yanta
16:29:19 <Brunius> Do you like cupcakes
16:29:24 <Mekkis> there was a player like that in Brisbane.. I made a deck that was specialised in getting off a first or second turn blood moon / magus of the moon
16:30:06 <Mekkis> it was very effective - to the point where he'd concede when I took the deck out of its box
16:30:35 Steven has quit (Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client)
16:30:41 <s_gmusic> once I started throwing different banlists around to give everyone something different to do with their deck, I think he got a bit smarter, considering they had a tendency to include his "favorite" cards.
16:33:09 <s_gmusic> with my first-ever commander deck done, I shall celebrate with cookies before beginning on my standard deck. \o/

17:51:47 <s_gmusic> decklist thus far: http://pastebin.com/PezFWASC
18:02:14 <Mekkis> that's not EDH
18:03:38 <Brunius> Highlander --> Only one of each card (except for lands)
18:04:21 <Mekkis> wow
18:04:29 <Mekkis> I'm playing WoT horribly today
18:07:32 <s_gmusic> yeah... probably should've said "standard" >.>
18:09:07 <s_gmusic> which I now need to tear apart since I seem to have miscounted somewhere. :\
18:19:53 <s_gmusic> looks like I didn't miscount and managed to get an extra sleeve in my pack. :\

20:03:16 <Steven> woot woot, got the boons for winterfest!
20:03:36 <s_gmusic> hm?
20:03:52 <s_gmusic> what boons are going around now?
20:04:29 <Steven> gm boon is an Undine
20:04:45 <s_gmusic> oh, thought they announced another one.
20:05:08 <Steven> or on the sheet you can pick a different boon
20:05:08 <s_gmusic> I want a Suli boon, but from what I can find, they were only given out at a con. :(
20:05:28 <Steven> you may add a +4 luck bonus on any one d20 roll before the roll is made. Alternatively, you may apply a +2 luck bonus on any one d20 roll a"er making the roll but before the success or failure of the check are known
20:05:46 <Steven> 3 uses
20:06:24 <Steven> with fates favored that is actually pretty crazy boon.
20:06:50 <Steven> +8 to any d20 roll.
20:06:51 * s_gmusic looks up Undine to compare against Ifrit.
20:07:09 <Steven> +2 Dexterity, +2 Wisdom, and –2 Strength.
20:10:42 <Steven> think i will apply this boon to my rage prophet so i can get a +17 to my initative if i realy need to make sure i dont act last.
20:11:58 boris has quit (Quit: )
20:16:25 <s_gmusic> weird.
20:17:02 <s_gmusic> I could've sworn there was a race that could Walk on Water (or lava) or something as an alternate racial ability.
20:17:24 <Steven> not in pfs
20:18:03 <s_gmusic> doesn't matter if it's pfs-legal or not. just thought there was one.
20:23:49 <s_gmusic> never mind
20:24:15 <s_gmusic> it was the "Shoes of the Firewalker" item I was thinking of from Ultimate Combat. :\
20:26:13 <s_gmusic> 21000gp, grants Fire resist 10 and can walk across lava/magma as if you had the Water Walk spell cast on you.
20:29:58 <s_gmusic> wow, two mistakes: wrong ability and wrong source. those shoes are from Ultimate Equipment, not Combat.
