Not to nitpick, but when your only weapon is a lightsaber or force powers, how are you supposed to defend yourself or fight without being considered a showoff? Is everyone who shoots a gun in Theed showing off as well?
Point of fact: You are a jedi, you are supposed to be in hiding, not flashing your saber around in public.
If you are waving the glowstick expect to get on the terms. I generally leave padawan alone but if I see one playing with his saber in town I consider him fair game and add him/her to my 'ok to hunt' list because I consider his/her actions blatant and the fact that said padawan is on the terms their own fault for being stupid about their visibility.
If you don't want to be hunted don't fight in public.
I'm not debating the hunting issue as I tend to agree if you decide to use your saber/powers in a city, you should expect to be hunted. The issue I have is this belief that if you use the weapon your supposed to use, you are a "show off". If as a BH you use your best weapon to fight/duel someone in Theed, are you showing off? Or does that only refer to a jedi who uses his best weapon?

hehe you can always count on Jedi vanity (a Jedi trait it is not, hmmm?)
Just have to catch them showing off at the starport, especially at the Dantooine Mining Outpost

This is the same principle as with Rryatt but I must ask how you guys do it. A few days ago I scouted the trail and found some AFK ers. Zip back to terminal. I actually timed it. 1h 12min before I found him. Yesterday I did the same, 46 minutes.
thats why you always get the names from at least 3 of the instances.
never taken me longer than 10 minutes to find one of them on the terms.

Here is what I have been doing, and you can try it if you like. It really all depends on your template and how comfortable you are with your abilities. If you go to a cantina, and generally around most busy towns, you will find many jedi showing off their powers and generally making a spectacle of themselves. When you see one, go to the mission terms, grab their mission and go back to them, and attack them. There. Easy. No hunting, no worrying about hiding. No Kashyyyk, no houses. None of that.
It works. And if you are good enough, you might even win.
Pity this is going away (names are going to be removed from the mission). So enjoy it while you can becauseyou will have to start workingagain for your blood money.. LOL.
My stance:
Once names come off the terms (if they do indeed do that) I won't honor any agreements not to hunt particular jedi. I already warned my guild that any treaties where I'm expected not to hunt a certain guild's jedi are out the window if I can't see their name on the terms. I REFUSE to spend hours tracking down a mark and then have to dump the mission just because his guild doesn't want me hunting him.
I suspect most other BH's feel the same way. Right now I have a list of the names of jedi from allied/treatied guilds that I do not hunt if I see them on the terms (I even warn them when I see them). If the names vanish from the terms all bets are off. Including not hunting rebel jedi. Sorry, if I can't keep a list of rebel jedi in my datapad to check when I see a mission I'm NOT spending hours finding a mark only to dump a mission.
Personally I think the removal of names from the mission term is a bad bad bad idea.
I don't feel sorry for any BH that has to spend hours and hours to find their mark, if the work is to much then I suggest tothat BH find another line of work. I hear that Tailors are in demand again.
However I don't think any jedi padi dumb enough to be "showing off" in a cantina or any public place for that matter should live to see the light of day either.
The removal of names has its ups and downs. Time will tell how good or bad it will be.

I have been doing this same tactic for the past month and in one week I cleared over a million credits just from Jedis showing off or pvping.
It works. Trust me. If you have the skills and know what to look for..you got it made.
