I tracked my mark earlier today out to a small, unmarked town near the swamps of Naboo. I hopped off my bike 250m away and went into cover, snacking on travel biscuits as I started my advance towards his position.
Slowly, slowly a mass of dots came into view. And my mark was right in the middle of them. They had some sort of stage set up, with line of five people onstage. The rest of the dots were sitting in chairs as an audience. My mark was onstage, but from my range I couldn't tell what was going on. So I waited.
And waited.
And waited.
For 45 minutes I didn't move a muscle as I watched whatever it was that was going on 100m away onstage. A couple times my mark stepped into center stage and strutted his stuff, showing off Force abilities and such. I yawned and continued waiting for an opportune moment.
Enter my kamikaze bothan bounty hunter friend, who I had asked to stir up some trouble and create the diversion I needed. He heads straight to the source and challenges my mark to a duel then and there, onstage. My mark accepts, of course, eager to show his skill.
As they fight, I watch and wait, inching ever closer. Finally my cover breaks, but since everyone's busy watching the fight I'm able to slink away unnoticed and go into cover again 40m away. The combatants continued fighting, neither giving ground.
Finally, the both of them look rather ragged. My friend eventually falls, and my mark returns to the stage amidst tumultuous applause...
... Just in time to take a snipershot from yours truly.
Not that that dropped him of course, but it made me feel cool. After figuring out where I was, he surged towards me intent on vengeance. I stood up and backpedaled, throwing everything I had at him with my rifle. (I'm a pistoleer).
After he got up and close, I drew my pistol and unloaded on him, but his HAM hardly budged. Any damage I dealt was quickly healed, and the situation was looking grim. Having no medic skills, I was hard-pressed to keep up with his damage output with my meager ruby and stims.
And yet the two of us continued our dance. Finally, with both of us at less than 500 health, I got the dreaded message: You are too full to consume that item. My healing gone, all was lost. I took a root, a knockdown, and hit the ground under the feet of an angry Jedi. He swung his saber downwards, intent on dealing the last 100 damage needed to end me...
... and missed entirely. I slammed KD recover and nailed him with underhand shot from point blank range, depositing him nicely on his back. He healed once, but my advanced crit overcame any power he had left in him, netting me a cool 225k.
... Which I split with my kamikaze friend, by the way.

First, I track my mark, lose all my tags, unequip my helmet and gun.
Then I find a CL 80 regular or jedi player (jedi player makes it alot better) and pay him to /duel my mark. If the jedi is reluctant to duel, i tell the CL 80 to make up some bs of how hes showing his friend the game or something and just wants a friendly duel.
If and when they agree to duel, i study to see how far down the CL 80 can get my marks health down before he heals.
Then when hes about to get to the healing point i KD the jedi and drain my action pool on him faster than a pussi arseJedi cowardly fleeingwith FR3.
more often than not it works out, for the BH that is

I tracked my mark to Theed, my seeker placed his location in the cantina. So I unequipped my armor and weapon and proceed to act as if I was just another cantina patron getting an inspiration buff with my AFK tag up. I watched my mark for about 10 minutes before his fellow Jedi friend entered and the proceeded to have a conversation about Avatar runs and what not. My perfect moment arrived when an impatient BH entered the cantina and began attacking my marks Jedi friend. (You could read BH all over him as he walked in the cantina, Heavy Lightning Cannon, Assault armor, fully buffed) As soon as my mark took 1 step to go watch the fight, I popped a pyro, equipped my Assault Bowcaster, Underhand, Startle Shot, Adv Crit, Head shot, Incap, DB. I seen in spatial that my mark had said “wth” before incap and DB. He didn’t take it too well, and his main argument was “ You noob, I wasn’t ready!!”

Got another fun story today. Less bushwhacking, more wisecracking.
So I pick up a mission and launch my seeker. It says Tatooine, so I load into Eisley and wait for the probes to update. They tell me Bestine, so I load into the shuttleport. The waypoint is pointing to right outside the starport. I head over and target him from as far away as I can, to see that he's dueling. The best part? I remembered this guy. He triple incapped me with CM Poison and disease way back near launch outside Anchorhead, laughing at me the whole way. Now that he was a Jedi, I had my chance at revenge.
However, my spirits fell as I noticed that he was taking on two opponents at once and winning quite nicely. Rather than jumping in and risking it too early, I wandered past as though I was heading to the starport, and casually mentioned "Gee, wish I had a mission on you right about now." Before running off and jetting to Mos Entha.
Half an hour later, his waypoint finally jumped to a city near Wayfar, and begins heading west past Jabba's palace. I track him up far into the mountains, where I find him standing on a peak, apparently AFK. Or so I thought.
I scarfed my foods and drinks, and nailed him with an underhand shot from my rifle. Immediately he was up and on his feet, and beating feet. ... Away from me. Well that's interesting.
So I did as any BH would do: I gave chase. He was about 80-90m away, far out of range of even my longest weapons. Far enough away that combat broke, which allowed me to pull my swoop and haul after him. I caught up quickly and leaped off the bike, slamming him with attacks. At about this time his friend pulled up in a multiperson vehicle, shouting "Get in!" So he tried. Stoppingshot, however, put an end to his escape quite quickly.
The fight didn't last much longer after that. Before collecting my 225k, I remarked "... I guess I did have that mission after all."

Of course getting in the mark's DWB group is always fun. However I also got a thrillrecently declaring from neutral to rebel tofollow my regenerating mark into a rebel base. After standing toe to toe with him for another 5-10minutes, I finally got the db outside when he tried to flee again. Cha-Ching 225k.
Refreshingly, the jedi was very good natured about it. /props to him and other likeminded jedi.
