Thread: You know you're a smuggler when....
...you're still a Smuggler on May 18th 2005 and have been since the game practically launched (through thick and thin, for better or worse, in sickness and in health,until death do us part).
[edited in] Btw, as most of you can see, I have had an MBH alternate on Bria since early 2004. I lament the fact there's a commonality there (Pistoleer) but that's all. Sako is Human, Bahn is Rodian. Sako is Rebel, Bahn is Imperial (half-hearted I might add, mostly because he's an MBH). Sako would never, ever dabble in BH even if it made him better and stronger, Bahn would certainly NEVER, EVER dabble in Smuggler (not just to maintain the true feel of having "alternates" but because BH and Smuggler should never, ever mix just because it's a template. They are very special, very exclusive roleplaying aspects, like Jedi frankly, and I wish I could impress this truth upon more people).

you keep forgetting to pull tools from the crates...
...When you go to the store and ask for a crate of butter knives for slicing.
...When you kick someone in their crotch and wait for them to fall down, then attempt to finish them off with a Reckless Shot from your TV remote.
...When you try to modify your VW bug with smuggling compartments big enough for you to hide youself in just in case of Imperial scans (and the occasional angery girlfriend/wife who can be even scarier).
...When you try to avoid your aunt's kisses you flop onto the ground and don't move as if you're dead.
...When you try to fight off your worst enemy and attempt to punch him out with all your force, only to miss and knock out yourself instead.
...When you get pulled over by a cop and he finds something suspecious in your car, you shout "but I'm a master Smuggler! I'm supposed to be able to avoid your scans!"
...When you go into the laundromat and wonder why they have baskets of brown "molecular clamps" and wonder where they hide the laser knives.

When you smile at the jerk saying he'll take his business elsewhere because he doesn't like your prices because you've been refreshing the "find" feature all night and know that to do that he's gonna have to put on his boogie shoes, because baby...you're it.
When the cops raid your club and can practically perform a song and dance about all of the illegal things you have and all they can say is..."Move along."
When you roll hysterically on the floor laughing when some poor unsuspecting noob asks "When are guys gonna get that revamp I was reading about?"
When you honestly don't know what to say when they ask if your goods and services will get them in trouble with the law.
When you played this profession with spices worthless, slicing 4 and 2 wawbejawed, and faction points gave you carpal tunnel.
When you laugh at the Jedi who whine about bounty hunters because frankly you'd give your left nut for that kind of player interaction and fun.
When you honestly think it will be MORE fun to make the game HARDER for you and your customers.
When devs cringe everytime you tell them you have a professional concern.
When you transport illegal goods. Oh wait...
You know you're a smuggler when...
...your girl/fiance/wife is talking to you about *god knows what* and all you can keep thinking is, "When is that Muon Gold supposed to wear off? Last thing I need is to puke all over her.." oh wait. This is real life, and that wasn't Muon Gold, it's just Ginger-Ale. But yup, she's still talking...
• You still want a YT-1300 even tho you can't fly it on your own and it turns like a drunken bantha with ferrocrete boots.
• You regularly use /wickedgrin and /tiphat
• You actually have a space on your toolbar for your Smuggler Handshake macro.
• If you spot another Master Smuggler, you'll stop whatever it is that you were doing and take some time to shoot the breeze.
• You're still hitting the use button on your gambling table hoping that one day it'll surprise you and be working.
• You're still carrying your fake CorSec badge in the hope that you can one day use it to avoid scans.
• You finally get a kick-a$$ special that works.
Then everybody else wants it, abuses it, nerfs it
Couldn't resist that one
LOL Yes!

... you giggled like a little girl at the thought of getting one of those legendary CL 340+ Quenkers smuggledfrom Dantooine to the Coronet Starport.
... you have a deep emotional connection to your ship, weapon and, of course, to your title.
... you get insulted and you answer with a funny and intelligent retort.
I live for those)I've only been a smuggler a few week, but I've been doing all that for months

... someone drops a line that you can twist into a line that could be sexualy offending, you do so without a second thought,but stillbe funny, charmant and complimenting at the same time.
