Order???? There is no order when 15 uber wanna be's all want their buffs. I usually do what you did, write their names down and cross them off when finished. I've been thinking of bringing along a wookiee friend for crowd control (nice RP touch). That way I can just say,"Talk to the Wookiee with the big hammer."

Depends really, if the game has all my focus I just try to remember and use the /notepad command if it gets long. If Im trying to talk on the phone while buffing or holding conversations with others, I make everyone bank tip me beforehandand I buff in the order I get the bank tips.

I use the setting for chat that requires an input key to start chatting. What this allows, is for you to scroll back through previous things you have said to edit and restate them.

So i /yell or /say the following :

Current Line : Han Solo, Chewbacca, Luke Skywalker

When people want to be added to the list I just enter chat and scroll up to the message and add them to the end.
When I am done buffing a person I scroll up and delete them fromt he front of the list.

I will skip a person while leaving them at the front of the list 3 times before deleting them from the list. This helps account for LD and any errands they want to run while waiting for a buff. Its easy enough to continue buffing the 2nd person in line for that short period. I have had lines exceeding 15 people. 15 people is a 30 minute wait at a bare minimum, I cannot expect people to just sit there and wait.

Another thing is that I only add people to the list according to order of Direct Tells. It is too hard to track all of the chat going on in a busy metropolis such as Theed or Coronet. Direct tells being a different color give you a little cue and its easier to notice and add people.

Best way I find to do the mad buff sessions, is to have all people as they come up for buffs get in a line....(yes a real line) and wait their turn. I have them tip me when their turn is up to make sure each person pays. I usually have a macro up to explain to new customers my prices and to get in line. I find it is much easier to keep order with a lineinstead of 10 people sitting in a circle. This also keeps you from accidently buffing people out of order and making sure you get paid by all in their turn.

Yeah..... I do the single file line too... it make it easy.. and looks pretty funny too.. heh

I say, "Whoes next", if I lose track in my mind. Let them argue amoungst themselves. If they are afk, they didnt miss anyhting anyway, lol.

I have a slightly related tip for you:

When crafting your buffs, NAME them like this: "Enh Sta (900)" or Enh Con (850)

...where the number in parenthesis is the power. When you are setting up to buff, sort your inventory by name and all your buffs line up together.

By default, the name starts with the stat, which places them in fairly random order in your inventory. I tend to use different packs for different customers (dont piss me off or you get a 100 point buff with 12k duration). Using the "/healenhance stamina" , for example, will take any ol' stamina pack... i like to be sure which pack gets used.. thus the inventory clicking.

I remember off hand but I'm thinking off just getting in a line which makes it easier.

We can buff other people? Do the Devs know about this?

I use notepad to keep them in order. As my macro finishes, I open notepad, find the next person in line, type /target *name* and then I restart my macro.

I only add people's names as I confirm them through tells...I've had some people just sit down without a word and get upset with me...but if they don't hear from me that they are in line...then they aren't.
