Ahh yes the good old mistells, what would entertaining be like without them... Here's a good one that still makes me smile every time I think of it. This was back in the second month of the game, when Coro wasn't lagged to hell, it wasn't polluted with afk barkers and afk musicians and dancers. I had decided to try out music, and had met a lovely young Bothan who I really hit it off with. Turns out I had met her in my short time playing DAoC. Anyways, back then, as you probably know, most of the entertainers were ATK and pretty talkative. Me and this Bothan hottie had both been taking part in the group conversation, but after a while we started chatting in tells. Group chat had become a bit slow, when a classic mistell came into group chat. The lady, who shall remain nameless, said something to this effect "It is hard to stay faithful, as I've been getting progressively******* over the past 6 months". There was a good ten seconds of uncomfortable silence before my friend apologized to the group, and we all had good laughs at her expense. I would have probably just left the cantina in shame had it been me slipping up like that, but she stuck around for the rest of the night anyways. And btw, we weren't cybering, or even talking dirty, she just kind of blurted that out of nowhere. Of all the things to mistell...... 
This experience is one of those that you just had to be there to think it was funny, but hey, it was like 5am... Me, my RL gf, and 3 friends we doing our usual thing at the cantina when a Mon Cal came in. He had been spam-shouting that he needed a tailor to make him a hat, and he immediately asked if any of us were tailors. My friend popped out her droid and offered to make him one. He sat down, she quoted him a price, and of course he complained. While she was waiting on the hat to finish assembling he asked what was taking so long and told her too hurry up. She handled it like a pro and made the transaction. Well ya know that bug that happens sometimes when you stand up? The one where your shoulders are all hunched over and you look like you're dragging you're knuckles on the ground like some gorilla? Well the Mon Cal proudly put on his new sunguard, stood up, and the "bad back" bug struck. Without really thinking I just said "Damn Atir, what was that hat made of? Steel?" I'm not sure if the others thought it was too funny, but me and my gf(who plays in the same room as me) were reduced to tears in a matter of seconds. Yeah, you definitely had to be there....

I walked intothe cantina in Coronetyesterday, and to my suprise, there were no buffbots there. I normally don't visit Coronet, but a friend of mine is grinding her way to dancer, so I went to visit her. While I was there, some guy walks up to me and says:
byff
bugg
buff
dancer buff
Now where I normally will give a buff to anyone who asks for one, this person did not even bother to ask, so I ignored him and continued my conversation. About a minute later, he starts sending me tells:
HEY! I NEED A BUFF
GIVE ME A DANCER BUFF YOU $^%#
**edit** ARE YOU BLIND? I SAID I WANT A BUFF
Shortly after that, someone else approached me and asked me politely for a dancer buff, which of course, I was happy to give. I placed the idiot on ignore and started the dancer buff to the other guy. Several other people approached me for buffs, and I gave them to everyone who wanted them, and many of them told the other guy that he might have better luck if he asked for his buff instead of ordering someone to do it. About 20 minutes later, Mr Personality was still standing there. Out of curiousity, I took him off ignore. There he was, shouting at me:
HEY! BUFF
BUFF
BUFF
BUFF
BUFF
I NEED A BUFF NOW!
He went right back on ignore and I continued to buff anyone else who approached me.

Two nights ago I was an unwelcome witness to the ultimate in buffbot mentality. I found myself in Keran doing some quests, and out of nowhere i get a tell....
Punk kid: Heal me in the Cantina
Me: Excuse me?
Pk:u r entertainer right? (had my master entertainer tag on)
M: Yes
Pk: Well i want you to come heal me, I am headed to the cantina.
M: I have to confess, I am rather astonished
Pk: y
M: What profession are you?
Pk: Pistols, y
M:Meet me in Jabba's palace, I want you to do the missions for me so I can go play with Max Reebo and his band.
Pk: ru serious
M: ....
Pk: I am busy, and on naboo
M: Help me. Who cares if your busy? And I know your on naboo, since you want me to heal you in the cantina.
Pk: ur crazy
M: Am I?
Pk: Yes u r. you cant ask ne1 for help like that, I'm busy doing things, I just need healed.
M: You still don't get it do you? Heel the narcissism for a moment and think it over
('bout 2 minutes later)
Pk: Well I am waiting in the cantina. bf is 275
Pk: Where r u?
(about 2 minutes later)
Pk: I can't wait all day
M: your gonna...
Pk: y
M: I'm busy.
Pk:your an entertainer, its ur job to heal and help people come heal me.
M: your crazy
Pk: y
M: you can't ask anyone for help like that, I'm busy doing things
M: If i HAVE to help you get healed, you HAVE to help me at Jabba's. Otherwise if you'd like my services provided, the least you could do is say please, nevermind understand that if I am not in the cantina, then I am doing something else, whether I am counting the bricks in front of the artisan guild hall, or IDing someone, or doing some quests, its my choice. Now if you would say please,I will come heal you. Hell I might even buff you for free, but I am not your **edit**, and will not be treated like one. If you checked the who list to tell I was entertainer, you'd see I was wookiee too. You don't boss around a wook and expect civility.
Pk: when I see a psychologist, ill send him your way.
M: /flail
Pk: ill leave you to ur noise.
M: Enjoy that 275 bf
M: /addignore
M: /deny (just in case)
At this point I logged over to my ranger / tkm and wreaked havoc onTat for a good while.

That guy must have switched over to my server when he was done with you. I was dancing in an empty cantina reading the planet chat, and someone came on asking if there was an ID on the planet. I had just seen one going past, so I helped him find her. A few minutes later I was taking a break, when he walked in. He said, "hey, I need healing". I said hello and sorry, figuring he might have thought I was ignoring him, and began dancing. He stood there, not wanting to talk, and then abruptly left, saying over his shoulder "I'm done". Okay, I expect no tips, and occasionally disregard (how sad it's come to this) but I had just helped the guy out by not just dancing (as they say "it's our job" to heal them 
) but I went out of my way to connect him with an ID. Have these people forgotten the words "thank you"? I guess blowing us off with "thanks" is going the way of the tip. Good thing we all have good self esteem, and are independantly wealthy!

I had to come running...I'm home alone with no one to laugh with. I was just dancing in Moenia and had a man come in to get a little med xp on me. I'd been dancing for him for a few minutes when he blurts out (or mistells as he later admitted) "Twi'leks are hot!" I thought I was going to die laughing...poor guy was so embarrassed!

WHOA! That's just wrong. If that had happened to me, I would have taken a screen shot of it...
I can't say I can recall many instances like these.. I'm sure they've happened, but it's been so long, I can't think of any!

OK, so this morning (operating on maybe five hours of sleep, though that's not much of an excuse--a better one is the fact that I just started playing again after being away from the game for four months) I'm holding the bandleader spot in the good old Coronet cantina while the proper leader is off wrestling with a weird bug. Eventually it's time for me to get gone; one of the other non-AFKers in the band mentions that she'd be happy to take the spot. So I type
/makeleader winnie
. . . not thinking that it matters that I have my droid targeted at the moment. The result is that my droid, not Winnie, becomes the bandleader.
Not knowing how to fix this, and rather panicky (see above re lack of sleep), I quickly store him. This, of course, transfers leadership to some random person in the band--in this case an AFK dancer who'd presumably be out of the picture for the rest of the day. I figured out who wasn't AFK in the band, tipped each of them 5,000 credits by way of an apology, and slunk out of there feeling like a total n00b.
