I'm suddenly reminded of Grosse Pointe Blank... is 'Vrgoku' Dan Aykroyd's handle?

Little follow up to the Quantum Foam bit for you guys.


I have to be careful when I am slicing now, if my husband's in the room and sees me slicing, he sits behind me and I can hear him chanting, really quiet like "damage slice, damage slice"...even when I am slicing armor. Of course, afterwards, if its a speed slice, he says "you weren't thinking about it, were you?" I just sorta close my eyes, shake my head and pretend he's in my imagination at those points.

God I love being a smuggler.

This happened to me last night in front of Coronet Starport:

Just a little background: I am a well dressed Ithorian Smuggler 1414, not wearing any armor

I’m standing in front of the Starport, grinding away at Droid Engineer with my Slicer tag up. I’ll just refer to the guy in question as Annoying Guy, or AG. This all occurred through /tell’s.


AG: Hey you got any weapon or armor kits?
Me: I have some WUK’s if that’s what you mean. How many do you need?
AG: 4

So AG shows up and we trade and he tips me 20k for the 4 WUK’s. I’m really pleased with the guy at this point, it doesn’t last. Another hour passes and I get a tell from AG’s friend, AGF

AGF: Hey, my friend said you knew where I could buy some Imp Scout Armor.
Me: Sorry, I don’t know what you’re friend is talking about. Who is it?
AG#1: Hey man, my guildmates are breathing down my neck for armor, give me the WP for the armor.
Me: Sorry man, I don’t know what youre talking about. What armor?
AG#1: Quick f*in with me man, what’s the WP?
Me: I think you have me confused with someone else, I’m the guy that gave you the WUK’s
AG#1: I know! You are wearing SCOUT ARMOR!
Me: No, I’m not wearing scout armor, you’ve got me confused with someone else.
AG#1 OMG WTH Quit f*in with me man!! Give me the WP!!
Me: Do I know you or something?
AG#1 YES! You have known me since launch!!!!



Since I have only owned the game for about two months, I knew this guy was a real winner. This continued on for a few minutes, me saying no, I don’t know where to get Scout Armor and him saying yes I do. I got annoyed and realized this wasn’t going to resolve itself naturally. At this point I realized “Hey, I’m a Smuggler now, I don’t have to take this crap”, and I developed a plan.



Me: Oh wait, I remember now, I do know where to get that armor.
AG#1: Finally!! Give me the WP man, and quit f*in with me!
Me: Ok, you can get the armor at this vendor on Dathomir.
AG#1 OK, what’s the WP?
Me: -3321 -2451 (or some random WP numbers that I pulled out of my Smuggler’s Pocket)
AG#1: OK cool thanks man, finally!


So I finish what I am doing and log off for the night, thinking “who the heck is this guy?”

I log in this morning before work, and I check my mail, lo and behold AG sent me a mail (I was kind of expecting something)


AG: DUDE I’m in the middle of nowhere on Dath and I can’t find the vendor! WTH!


LMAO STILL about this guy!!


Moral of the story: Believe a Smuggler when he tells you “no man, you’ve got me confused with someone else”!

Moral #2.


No matter what waypoints a smuggler gives you... send your firend instead.

This has got to be the best thread ever.


This isn't really a funny one, but depending on how you look at it, it could be. This takes place over 3 consecutive days.


Day 1:

I am out grinding away for some pistol xp (pre CU) at Theed. (I know not exactly the toughest place, but I was lazy). Then I get a tell


Other: Hey can you slice armor


Me: No not yet, I only have slicing 2


Other: Well what can you slice


Me: Mission terminals, locked containers, and weapons


Other: OK Thanks


Then I get an email the guy tipped me 10K for that.



Day 2:


Same guy sends me a tell again as I am in the medical center working on some medic xp.


Other: Can you slice armor?


Me: No, I still only have slicing 2. You asked me yesterday too.


Other: Oh how much longer til you can slice armor?


Me: I got about 5 slices of locked containers or weapons to go.


Other: OK


Me: You know I am sure there are other smugglers out there who can slice your armor.


Other: I am too lazy to go to another planet to look.


Then I get another 10K tip from the guy.



Day 3: During day 2 a guildmate gave me 100 locked containers for grinding.


Still on Theed


Other: Hey can you slice armor?


Me: 3 days in a row and you still haven't found anyone who can slice armor?


Other: No I am too lazy to go to another planet to look.


Me: Well I can slice armor now, but a master would probably get a better result.


Other: No need for a master I just want it sliced.


Me: OK, I can slice it for you.


Other: Can we meet at the Theed Starport

Me: Sure, I'll be there in a moment.


Invites me to group (Don't really know why)


I accept


Other: Just a moment, I'll go get the armor


Me: OK


I then look at the group member list and all of the sudden he is on Tattooine


Me: If you were too lazy to go to another planet to look for a smuggler why wasn't the armor with you on Naboo


Other: My inventory was full, and I didn't want it to decay in case I died.


Just left it at that.


Couple minutes later he shows up and trades me a full set of Composite


I again ask if he would rather a master smuggler slice it for probable better results.


Other: No go ahead.


I slice it. Can't remember the specifics. Some good, some not so good.


I trade it back to him.


I get a 100K tip from the guy.


Me: Did you mean to only give me 10K instead of the 100K you gave me?


Other: No, after 3 days of putting up with me you deserve it.


Great customer but the lazy part was funny when he still had to go to another planet to get his stuff for someone with Slicing 3 to take care of it.

My .002c


This happened while I was still learning and working a bit on the Slicing tree... (I should mention due to rollback I'm still not Master Smuggler *anymore* and hope it will be fixed soon)...


I was running around from planet to planet, spamming I'd slice locked containers for just 1500c.

Suddenly I got a tell from a


Master Smuggler: Are you slicing for xp?

Me: Yes?

Master Smuggler: Then you should not ask credits for the slicing....

Me: *chuckle*


As in fact, I got a number of people asking me if I could slice their containers. So I did slice and made a little money from it too. Besides it was more for fun to do it (interact with other people) then actual grind slicing.


For that was looking around for the cheap locked containers (500-2k) on bazaar and in vendors.


What struck me was that a Master Smuggler told me not to make a profit from slicing for xp...

He probably misunderstood what you were saying, and thought you were slicing everything, not just containers, for that price you mentioned.
