Yesterday was one of my most embarrassing deaths, I came up on a jedi i was huntin on Lok, got off my bike. called my droid and tried to attack at the sametime i got my droid to attack.
I got the message over and over again that I Cannot do XXXX while swimming. The jedi attacked me and I kept healing my self praying that eventually the system would realize that I didn't even touch water, but no I died in about 5 min without ever landing a shot and in front of about 10 other people laughing their asses off that I wasn't getting even one shot in!
Fun Times.

I got one to share, that post about the Jedi that went AFK to go hunting with his BH reminded me of it.
This wasn't me (thank God), but I was there to witness it. I was over at a friends place and he was playing Galaxies. Anyways, he shows off his Jedi to me for a bit (I had unlocked, but I wasn't very strongat that point), then when I remark on how strong full-temp Jedi are, he flips the coin and says "Ah, they're not that strong. Watch, I'll take a couple down for ya," and with that he moves over to his laptop and boots up his BH. He takes the first mission he finds and sets off, tracking the Jedi. Dantooine. He shuttles to the mining outpost.
"Hey, he's not too far away," my friend comments and hops on his swoop. Something at this point dawns on me and I look closely at his screen.
"And it doesn't look like he's moving, either! Ha ha, going AFK with vis, what an idiot!" my friend brags. I look closely at where the seeker droids are pointing, and quietly turn around to look at the now-idle PC with my friend's Jedi sitting peacefully amongst the flowers. The purple, dantooine flowers. The ones about 2000m away from the mining outpost. I crack a huge grin, doing my best to hide it from my friend.
"Yeah, what a moron!" I agree, turning back to the laptop and the hunt that I know is going to be perhaps the most amusing thing I've seen in a while. Yes, it was just after the names were taken off the terms and my friend had managed to pull his own mission. He zoomed forward towards his prey, leapt off the bike about 150m away and called out a bomb droid. He started his macroes, ate his food and ran forward. He tabbed forward until he could see his target. At this point I was grinning ferally to myself while thinking "Do it! Do it! Oh please, oh please, oh please!!!" His hand hovered over the F6 key and that's when the predatory look on his face suddenly turned into one of complete surprise. I burst out laughing as he realised he had himself in his own crosshairs. He just turned around and glared at me red-faced.

Way back in the day when I was a BH, I got laid out really bad on my first mission.
Me and a friend, both grinding BH together, had just hit Investigation III. Me for the second time (reground BH just for the hell of it). This was Pre-Pub 9, BTW. Anyways, when I had first mastered BH it was when the game was fresh and new and BH was the god class. No Jedi to hunt and investigation was a royal pain. Anyways, here we are, we have these fancy schmancy vehicles to help now, but it's still slow as hell, especially with shuttle waits.
So, we decide we're gonna take the short route. It's only 6 Jedi kills to the next box! How simple is that? If we both grab missions and help each other we should be done in no time, right? Ha ha ha....
Well, for everyone not holding their gut laughing at this point, let me explain the Pre-pub 9 days. BH sucked. Hard. A Master Dancer had better defensive mods than a Master BH. Jedi was a super-uber god class, not like we are today. Sabers could do up to 2k damage a shot, sometimes higher. Granted this was kinetic damage, so composite armour blocked 80% of it, but they still hit majorly hard. Group TEF was still about, so a Jedi could sic a 20 man gank squad on you if he got attacked. They had the 75% block rate of the day and could wear composite armour, making them walking tanks.
Basically, if a Jedi got to Master (or as close as they could get, 4/4/4/4 Guardian, they were gods. They could literally take on 5 BHs at a time and kill the lot of them without breaking a sweat).
Anyways, back to the story, me and my friend go to the mission terminal and pull the first two missions we can find. Now in those days, 95% of Jedi missions fit into the following categories:
1) Glitched. Jedi could use a logging glitch to screw up your droids into saying they weren't online. In essence, it would be like trying to hunt a Jedi without any droids at all.
2) AFK on rooftops. Jedi would periodically grind on the roofs of private buildings.
3) 4/4/4/4 Guardians. The ones that could drop you by looking at you.
Being the naive fools we were, we were hoping for a grinding Jedi, one not too hard. I distinctly remember thinking "Well, how hard can an almost-master Jedi be? I can just use my LLC, my friend can use knockdown shots and his new, fancy pistol. We'll be fine!" We even got another MBH to come along. 3 BH vs 1 Jedi. In these days we'd massacre the fool, but back in those days we were asking to get the floor mopped with our hides.
So we pull two missions. We decide to hunt mine first. Track him to a player city on Tatooine. He had the "Dark Saber Duelist" title up. Great... a 4/4/4/4. Anyways, I draw a bead on him and hit my groupchat message, "There he is! Go!!" Then, I read with horror just as I hit the /lightningsingle2 key a message posted a split second later by my friend "Hey! There's my mark! Open fire!!" I glance over as the combat music starts and see my friend start shooting at another Jedi. One with the "Dark Side Force Master," tag up. Great... if there's one thing worse than one 4/4/4/4 guardian, it's 2 4/4/4/4 guardians.... To compound matters, the group TEF didn't catch, so here we were, two slightly less than MBHs against 2 slightly less than Jedi masters.
All you vets can guess what happened next...
With their trademark crack-hiss, a pair of Lightsabers flared to life. They went for my friend first. He was corpsed in a matter of seconds. I managed to hit my /burstrun macro, which also included a rather commical "AAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!" in spatial chat. I book it, hoping to maybe kite my target and escape with my life. That's when I learned abouttwo little things called /forcerun and /saberthrow.
I suppose this didn't really count as the Jedi had pity on me a few seconds after he incapped me. I sent him a /tell saying I was just grinding BH. Maybe it's because I was Imperial, or maybe because he had done the same thing at one point, but either way, he spared me the /deathblow. I was plenty humiliated as it was...
