Agricola was trying to move through coronet he had a mission on Indrid Cold and the waypoint said the cantina. Agricola was having trouble walking from the starport to the cantina due to the amount of people, since opening these star lanes you could barely move on the ground now! Indrid was top of the totem pole on Agricola's blacklist due to breaking a deal a while back and trying to lay the blame on his non-existant brother, Agricola had him listed in the Judas Jedi slot.
After finally reaching the cantina 2 hours later Agricola noticed a massive sign written in pink and purple draped over the cantina door, it read " For one night only " The Jedi Village People " are preforming for your pleasure! ". Agricola felt fear entering his body but took control and muttered to himself " no must be a spelling mistake ". On walking into the cantina Agricola noticed a group of 4 Jedi and an announcer the announcer shouted " ok and now what you've all been waiting for it's the Jedi Village People and thier hit song YMCA ". The music boomed out and the Jedi sang to the beat Indrid was on the dance floor with a rifleman and they seemed to know each other very well! Agricola knew he shouldn't attack but the music was so soul destroying he decided it was better to kill the jedi or die as either way he'd be leaving, he approached Indrid while he was preforming some star jumps for his friend and tapped him on the shoulder. Agricola looked at the rifleman and said " I belive this dance is mine " then landed a perfect left hook to Indrid's jaw (kd2), Indrid hit the deck and Agricola proceeded to tear at his flesh with his VKs until the rifleman let rip with some mind poison. Agricola staggered out of the cantina but was held up due to the crowd and the rifleman finished him in the street.
Agricola awoke 3 days later in the cloning center he was being lifted out of the bacta vats and onto the bed. Agricola looked and smelt like a pair of storm trooper leggings after the clone wars, " where's my datapad " he coughed. " It's by your bed but you won't be needing it for a few more days that's for sure " said the Mon doctor checking the data terminal by Agricola's bed. Agricola grasped the pad looked and let out an evil laugh " that fool let the rifleman finish me, I've gotta go it's been too long already ". Agricola started pulling the tubes out of his chest and legs and sat up. " You can't leave now, it's not allowed! " said the doctor, " you can report me to the authorities then " replied Agricola. The doctor backed down and Agricola walked out with his gear.
Agricola launched an Arakyd it said Naboo so he got on the shuttle to Theed on arrival he sent a seeker but it seemed that Indrid had put some kind of bug into it's software and an error message kept flicking up on the datapad " target not online ". Agricola got on his bike and went straight to the last wp, he took his brandy and synthsteak. On arrival there was Indrid standing about posing for an imaginary crowd. Agricola lept off his bike downed some Thatokil and canape and ran at him screaming, Indrid spun around and his knees shook (intimidate). A left uppercut (kd2), right hook (dizzy), jab (stun) and right cross (blind) later Indrid was on the floor while Agricola was spliting his ribs apart and bashing his innards into a bloody pulp (unarmed 3). Indrid used the force however and healed all wounds, they fought toe to toe for a while Agricola jacking up on a pixie for insurance. Eventually Indridi's force was low and he ran into his house, Agricola stood outside taunting him but Indrid wouldn't budge. Finally Agricola shouted " You know what I'd get more action out of your momma on a friday night! ", to which Indrid replied " You shut your mouth, you don't even know my momma ". " Sure I do " replied Agricola " we were working out together last week! Wanna give her a message? I'd be happy to deliver it! ". The door opened Indrid's face was contorted in anger his eyes red like hot coals and steam coursed from his nostrils like the smoke from a volcano. Indrid fired up his double saber and charged Agricola screaming, Agricola felt unsteady (intimidate) and took the full force of the attack. Still standing Agricola hit him with the combo again Indrid was taking hits to his body, ribs cracked and wine dark blood spewed out at each hit from the VK. Indrid's force had gone he had let his rage take over from his common sense, with one last effort he healed his states and made for home. Agricola fired a side kick straight at his knee cap (unarmed lunge) then a right hook (dizzy) sent him crashing back to the floor and Agricola beat him to a viscous bloody, blackened pulp (incap).
Indrid looked up at Agricola and said " There's and old jedi saying that you should only kill in self defence, perhaps if you don't kill me I can teach you the ways of the force? ". Agricola gave Indrid a black look " There's an old Bounty Hunter saying too " don't p*** down my back and tell me it's raining!"". Agricola pulled him too his feet punched his fists into Indrid's body shattering his chest and pulled his rib cage apart exposing his innards, Agricola then pulled his lungs out and hung them over Indrid's shoulders still attactched. The blood sprayed like a ceremonial fountain in Coronet spraying the ground for meters around and feeding the gods of war who are gluttons for slaughter. Indrid fell back down screaming in a high tone then Agricola brought his boot down upon his neck (deathblow) and ended it.
After taking the 226k and the scalp Agricola made his way back to Rome on Tatooine to hang the scalp and spend some cash in the cantina, Jabba was invited as usual to take a DNA sample to confirm completion.

This was Slimshiney's first Jedi Kill :
I had been hunting a particulary elusive jedi with 2 of my buddies all morning for a good 2-3 hours and then we find out that he logged off in his house. So we disband and go our seperate ways.
I decided that I still wanted to hunt jedi so i got another mission and find that hes on Naboo. So I fly into Keren and find that he is somewhere near Kaadara. I fly to the wp and not to my surprise I find him in his house. So I give him a tell and ask him if he will do a fair duel, one on one. I tell him it would be a fair fight that way. He says it wont be because he is not buffed. But then he actually says that he will fight anyways.
At this point I still didnt know what level he was. As he comes out of his house I notice that he has his jedi knight tag up. I got a little scared so I popped 2 brandies. He comes out and we salute each other and begin. I immediately start doing decent damage to him with my acklay gaffi stick but just as quickly he completely heals himself.
My health issteadily going down at this point. So I eat some synth steak and keep on battling. I then realized that allI needed to do was land a warcry on him and finish him off. So I wait until his health is down and he is about to heal and then I warcryed him. Fortunately it landed on him and I quickly finished him off and death blowed him. I really lucked out on that one.

Server: Eclipse
Mark: Justin-credible
Faction: Imperial
...so I entered the server and was imediatly contacted by a few Rebel jedi that I usually hunt with. They started spouting off names of Imp Jedi that had been hot for the last few hours. One name stuck out, Justin-credible, i've never hunted him before but I had seen him take down many of the rebel jedi that I have hunted with. I take the mission and get the bio sig just incase he runs. Well I had already known he was running the circuit around Corellia so I send off a few probe droids. Next thing I know one of my rebel JKnight buddies went off screaming about how he had killed Justin-credible and got away with it, considering Justin hardly ever is without a squad of his own. I had seen a few of his minions in Coronet around the starport, so I figured I chill out around there, the next thing I know my droid is telling me my target is in the starport. I go to investigate, there he is... there is corpse of Justin-credible. I could target him and I just waited like I was waiting for a shuttle, one of his minions came over and rezzed him after my rebel JKnight friend had killed him. Once he was resurced I opened fire, after about 8 blocks, I land an EyeShot and down he goes. I walk up, take my screenshot, deathblow and ran off as fast as /burst would take me. Being unbuffed and unarmored I was in no shape to take on his goonies. One of them (melee) had found me but I was already long off and headed for the safety of water.
I couldn't beleive it, I just wacked one of the top 10 jedi on our server. Its not about the fact that a BH kills a Jedi, no no no, its all about the hunt, sure you can have your straight up bomb droid suprise attack and the pound them, or go at it with your gank squad. But the ones that are great are the ones were nobody knows what just happened until its far to late for anybody to save the jedi. Now that was the easiest 225k credits I've made yet.

Gremlins! Lately all my tracking droids seem to be infested with these little buggers.I have been unable to get a conclusive location of a mark in weeks but still needing some creds and being a little bored i went to the local bounty station to see what low lifes where out there. I see a 100k mission and figure well should be a little hard but not too much so, after lauching a few droids, rubbing elbows with the usual underworld contacts i track my mark to Dathomir.
I fly into the science post with just two thoughts on my mind: 1. Getting my mark and 2. Getting the hell off this God forsaken rock, i see my mark is rather close to the post and just decide to go get a drink while the droid does its job. Before i could even get a sip of that refreshing Jawa beer the droid location comes back with a WP right in the post! I throw a credit at the bar keep and run outside to see; a speeder with no owner and a shuttle just lifting off. Damn! This began a months worth of tracking this guy.
With the trail fresh, i track this guy to Dantoonie to only find him in a safe house locked up tighter then a Jawas bank box. I drop the mission and for the next few days i do some jobs for the empire and go after some other Jedi, one of whom gave me five times in creditsmore, just to leave him alone.I figured since the contract was not given by a Hutt i did not see the harm in just saying i killed him and collecting twice. When then i see on the terminals, the one who got away. Pulling his mission i track him to Correlia and hope to catch him in a major city, but instead he is in a town about 5k to the east.
Expecting some trouble, i get my friend, the Master Commando to tag along. I like having those big guns in capable hands when a situation gets out of hand. Of course he is in a huge squad well protected and picking a fight here would be foolish. A BH making it to middle age is rare and is not accomplished by picking fights with twenty men gank squads. Of course my friend and i are banned, verbally assaulted and a host of other things not worth mentioning. After it is all over i simply tell the jedi one pharse, (" You will fall me to me jedi, count on it".)
Before this it was a job tracking this jedi, now it is personal. If i need t ospend 500k to collect on this 100k bounty it will be well worth it. I keep the mission and just sleep on it for the next three weeks. During thisl time this jedi has gone deep underground, droids can not find him and my usual contacts are at a lost as to his where abouts. He (the jedi) has made a arrogant mistake, he put me on his friends list! I figured for the first few days he would be keeping tabs on me so i just do other things and stay far away from him, i did not want to spook him after all.
Finall after three weeks wit hthe same mission i go after him. I track him to Dantoonie where i find him killing Voritor trackers. First i approach slowly from 7k out. Making stops along the way at POI's to look like i am just ther efor something else if he happens to be keeping tabs on me. Finally when i am with in 1000m i just rush in for the kill. When i get there he is killing trackers and has no idea wha tis about to hit him. I jump from my bike and go to work with my scatter and after a brief and one sided fight he is dead! As i am riding away to avoid the in route gank squad i just simple send this guy one tell. (" You fell to me jedi, do not forget it")

OK, I am a MBH / MP and, strange as it may sound, I fought my first PVP target last night. To avoid the droid issues, I did some real investigation work by people watching. I pulled my MBH tag down and mixed with people at various gathering places. After a couple of hours, I noticed a pattern with a few jedi, timing and noting their comings and goings.
I jotted down their names and spent some time at a bh terminal with my "Friends" list pulled up at the same time, tagging those who were on line. I found a bounty worth about 80K that matched one of the jedi on my list who was on line.
Then I went to an isolated place and practiced/trained with my bomb droid (55 detonation power). I used commands that seemed rather ordinary (i.e. "OK" was for Follow Target, etc.), so as not to draw any attention when the time came to use it for real. I practiced with some low-level bomb droids on some innocent NPCs until I had it down to a science.
Then off to the "spot" and wait. I set myself up in a shadow line, turned my character away from everyone and marked myselfas AFK. I pulled the view as wide as I could, looking down on the people from a bird's eye perspective, and waited. And waited. And waited.
Then it happened; I spotted my jedi mark (sporting the title of Imperial Flight Cadet, or something similar). Immediately my heart began poundingand the adrenaline was pumping (what a RUSH!!). I calmed myself and methodically drank two Vasarian Brandies and ate some Synthasteak (I was also fully buffed).
I called my bomb droid (55det power) and sent him on his way.My mark was in a crowd ofother players...perfect. Unfortunately, the jedi was fully buffed, but as this was my first try at PVP, so I was just lookingforward to the battle(even though Iknew I'd be showcasing my initial perfomance in front of dozens of players).
Anyway, I detonated the droid and BOOOM!,ahit for 1500 damage. I thenhit a macro that consisted of thefollowing:
-Torso Shot
- Bleeding Shot
- Eye Shot
- Eye Shot
- Stopping Shot.
The jedi was incapacitated now,but as I ran up to him, he jumped up and startedsome martial arts on me. I ran around him, spammingEye Shot and StoppingShot (the initial Torso Shot and Bleeding Shot stuck). I was beginning to nail him down again, when I noticed that my mind HAM was almost completely drained (imagine my dismay)! Well, I'm sure you can guess what happened next. A fewkicks later and I was down for the count.
Anyway, I sent a /tell to the jedi, telling him "Good fight." He replied back with "indeed". Altogether, a very satisfying experience, even if I did lose.I went back through the fight text and noted the damage amount put out by both of us and realized I probably should not have attempted to fight the jedi when he was fully buffed.
That's my story. Looking forward to advice and critique of my first PVP fight.
Thanks,
Flagg

Ok, I have a tkm/bh and have hunted many jedi until i recently got sick of all the target not online msgs, jedi running, ganking and hiding on me. I'm solo 90percent of the time so alot of my fights usually end up with either the jedi's friends healing them (i'm rebel and hunt rebel jedi, this reduces some of the ganking) or if their opposite faction they have their friends help or do any of the above mentioned things, but enough about that. I said all that to say this, even though i have hunted many jedi as a bh, my best jedi kill came before i was ever a bh.
I went looking for jedi on dath in rancor valley where they used to love to hunt in the old system with jedi tef. I was tkm master doc and must have logged there the night before, when i logged in i was riding around on my swoop and i come across this jedi, unfortunatly i'm unbuffed. He runs and i follow him until he finally stops in the middle of imp npcs. I get off and tell him, i know what you are, he says something like "no crap" or some other cocky remark and then is like "well you gonna attack" I said "not while your staning in the middle of those imps" so he moves away from then and stands there looking at me. (I found out later he was a little above knight in the old system i think).
So we stand there staring at each other but i'm not buffed, so i say "dont suppose your gonna wait for me to buff?" he says "no" then "next time dont waste your chance"
So I buff up real quick after he runs off hop on my bike and start looking for him. Somehow i find him in the middle of like 5 rancs. I jump off my bike, run into the middle of them hit him with dizzy, kd, then mind hit. Incap and DB him, then i send him a tell "thanks for the advice". It was my first and best jedi kill.

“Are you crazy?” My mentor was not happy. He had devoted years to my training as a Weaponsmith, and it was finally starting to pay off. Clients were returning and recommending my shop to their friends.
“Why of all things a Bounty Hunter? You make far more money making weapons to sell to those scum.”
How do I tell him that that was the genesis? As I see these armor-clad warriors with titles like “Avenger,” and the coveted “Master” buying the best weapons to hunt the elusive prey, I longed to be them. He never did understand. He kicked me out of his house, and told me never to return.
Maybe I should try to go back. I stink as a Bounty Hunter. My first mark introduced me to the worst end of the tools I previously made. As I stared at the ceiling of the clone station, I thought to myself, “You stink!”
Even as I dragged myself to become the “Master” I always coveted, I found my skills as lacking as my bank account. Does anybody really “always get their man?” Far too many of my marks were elusive or, worse, better than I was.
Which is why, when I successfully hunted my first Jedi, I was completely nonplused when her friend sent me messages telling my what a loser (edited for language) I was for hunting such a “low level” Jedi. Heck, I am low level, so it seemed fair to me. Trust me the 54k wasn’t going to make me rich. The other five Jedi I hunted made it clear that I was in over my head. They proved it by removing body parts with that glowing stick of theirs.
So what am I doing hunting a Jedi with a 225k bounty on her head? Was I crazy? Probably. Was I stupid? Most definitely! Maybe I was desperate. She was the first Jedi of four I tried to hunt that evening that my droids were willing to search for. “Target not online.” I don’t even know what that means. I think my droids are as incompetent as I am.
Tatooine. Not bad. My shop used to be there. And anyway, there was a Carbineer trainer in Mos Eisely I wanted to see. I land at the Mos Eisely starport and my datapad indicates that my mark is 40m away! I run and sure enough… my droid was incompetent. There was nothing there but a starship terminal. Then again, maybe that is what my droid was saying. She will return there. A prophetic droid? Maybe the Maker was trying to compensate for my lack of skill.
I ran to the medcenter just next door and waited as I drank some brandy, ate some steak, and let doctors deal with some of the scars of my past failures. Suddenly my targeting computer indicated she had arrived. A rebel no less. Fantastic. I am already outclassed, and now I will make myself wide open to every Rebel in this town when I strike. Being a loyal citizen of the Empire sure does have its drawbacks.
However, the Maker smiled again. This Jedi was wounded. Space must not have been very nice to her. Thank you Imperial Pilots, you made this possible. I ran into the starport, passing the Jedi with my “Master Bounty Hunter” insignia proudly shown. With my trusty Laser Carbine I let lose a Spray Shot, she is dizzy, blind, and stunned. My Fireknockdown shot takes her feet from under her. Three more spray shots, bow, and deathblow. 225k KaChing! Wait, why is this Rebel Riflemen shooting at me? Crap, head shot, head shot, head shot, rinse, repeat. I run, but am knocked down by another Jedi. Red glowy stick wacks me multiple times. Friends can get really mad. Yet, this time as I stare again at the familiar ceiling of the clone station, it somehow feels less like failure.

Last night I went out after a very low level Jedi because he was the only one online. I just got invest4 and I put my stalker title up not even thinking about the reprocusions. I track him to corelia and see that he is somewhere outside of a player city.
As I loaded into the cityI could see my mark about 200m away comeing around the corner of a house heading for the shuttle. As soon as he sees me he turns around and books. I quickly realized that my stalker title scared him off, so I chase him to back to his house.
I arrive on his doorstep and knocked loudly on the door.
"Can I help you", the jedi replied.
Now I have never used a bomb droid really, because I usually like to jump my mark as soon as I see them. But I thought that maybe it would be able to go into the house and I would be able to kill him as he was unbuffed. So I pull it out and start getting it ready.
"I'm your stalker! I love you! If I could just touch you for one second my life would be complete", I reply.
It was about this time that a master dancer that I know from the coronet cantina shows up and goes inside. I target the Jedi and to my suprise he actually comes out. I tell my droid to follow and begin the countdown. The Jedi is confused by the droid and throws a "?" up over his head. 3, 2, 1, BOOM!! The Jedi is incapped, but he slides back into the house and I can't db him.
I think I might have been a little cocky because he was unbuffed but I didn't take any thakitillo. He heals up and comes back out and KD's me and begins to work my mind. All the time his friend is healing him. I coudln't stay off the floor and was promptly incapped. As I'm screaming every curse word known to man I realize that he hasn't dbed me yet but decided to talk ish instead.
"OOPS!", says the Jedi, "Nice one"
/forceofwill
Two hits and he's down! I double click and he's db'ed.
"I know", I reply.
His friend is standing there stunned when she also receives db.
I pull out my speeder and ride off into the sunset.

So I've reached Invest 3.... Time to hunt some Jedi. I get my buffs, and head off to Kaadara. Target is not Online..... Target is not Online... Target is not Online... ugh!!!!
Finally I see one log in, and grab his mission. "You must move to another...." YAY! I ride out and launch the probe into space. Head to the Starport and the target is on Yavin 4. Great! Land at Mining and find he is about 2k north of the Labour outpost. I dispatch a droid and travel to Labour. He is on the move, heading toward me. I remain, waiting to surprise him.... then I find he has stopped. I pull my bike and head out..... just as I'm within about 500 m..... he logs off. NO!!!!! I waited to see if he was an exploiter, and was going to log back on again but he doesnt. Sad and distraught I head back to Labour.
Once I get there, I notice a very unique name on one of the characters that just flew in. Where have I seen this one before? Of course, on the terminals! He wasone of the "Not Online" exploiters! He looked at me, then at my Scatter, and ran into the cantina where he promplty logged off. Coward! I jumped into my Kimo fighter and flew back to Kaadara. Target is not Online... Target is not Online... Target is not Online.... God I hope they fix this soon, this is my first crack at this and its already incredibly annoying!
Then I noticed that coward Jedi in Yavin IV logged back in! (about 25 minutes later). Refresh, refresh, refresh, there he is! I grabbed the mission and flew back to the Labour outpost. There he was sitting in the cantina.... just sitting there. I ran in, but he was invisable. Damn. I didnt have anybomb droids and no way to encourage him to come out so I exited the Cantina and ran over to the shuttle. Knowing he probably had me targeted and was watching me I travelled to Mining, then quickly travelled back. I was right. He had emerged right after I left andwas no longer invisable to me. He was healing wounds and didnt even see me coming. Target, Bleed, Torso shot, Torso shot -- My scatter was going off like mad.... and finally he fell.
I walked up to him, looked down at his lifeless body and said, "Don't expoit!" and gave him the final blow that sent him to the cloners.
Damn that was fun. Thanks for reading.... I love hunting Jedi, now we just need the Devs to fix the bugs

Too and fro :
A lot of times, I play SWG in the morning before work. The Intrepid server (the only one I've ever played on) usually goes online around 7:30 leaving me with 30 minutes or so to goof off before work. Of course, early in the morning, doctors are usually pretty scarce since the server just came up, so one must run around unbuffed if they don't have a private cyber physician.
This morning, I decided to log in and try to make some quick, easy cash through myonlySWG hobby - hunting jedi.I checked the terminals for a few minutes, and there was only one guy online, a little padawan for 88k. I grabbed his mission and bio sig, then went straight to Coronet as that is where most buffing occurs. Sure enough, my seeker found him running around on the streets of Coronet, and since I wasn't buffed, I figured a droid could do my dirty work for me.
I pulled out the Jedi-killer droid, grouped with him, and watched my mark enter the starport as I gave my droid the command to chase him. I ran up to the ticket terminal and gave the droid the detonate command as I chuckled at the poor unbuffed paddy 3m away. The droid exploded, and I waited for his body to hit the ground so I could give him the deathblow, but stood in shock as it apparently didn't affect his HAM and only turned him red. Frantically, I started my dizzy/KD/Unarmed3 attacks and got him down quite low on health only to see him forceheal back to full. Then, I saw the text that no one ever likes to see: "You do not have enough pool points to perform this action"
DOH! I had no health bars,no action bars, and no food to increase HAM! Luckily, my mark was on the ground, so I ran away and pulled out my bike to head to the local food shop 1000 meters away to get more vercupti. When I got there, I had to wait outside as I still had a TEF, so I went outside and had a cigarette. Upon returning, my mark had followed me and started beating on me! ACK! I gave him a KD and dizzy, and ran like a girl again. He followed me on his bike and started beating on me again, so I disabled the bike and continued back to Coronet as he pursued. After going through the water on the outskirts of town, I burst ran andquickly bought a ticket to the Mining Outpost and took the shuttle.
Luckily, there was a doctor there, and I quickly got buffed, headed back to Coronet, and couldn't wait to show my mark who was boss. I tracked him by the cantina and prepared to launch the assault. Unfortunately, he was still on his bike, and when he saw that I was buffed, he drove into the water and logged off. Then, I had to go to work. ARGH!
I pulled out the Jedi-killer droid, grouped with him, and watched my mark enter the starport as I gave my droid the command to chase him. I ran up to the ticket terminal and gave the droid the detonate command as I chuckled at the poor unbuffed paddy 3m away. The droid exploded, and I waited for his body to hit the ground so I could give him the deathblow, but stood in shock as it apparently didn't affect his HAM and only turned him red. Frantically, I started my dizzy/KD/Unarmed3 attacks and got him down quite low on health only to see him forceheal back to full. Then, I saw the text that no one ever likes to see: "You do not have enough pool points to perform this action"
