Smuggler Archive

Ah, yes, I have finally reached a landmark! I'm so happy. I finally feel like I belong...and I'll feel even better when I can reach 3k posts

Smugglers, I would like to say that I am certainly the most privileged individual in this game to have spent so much time, effort, patience, and ideas with this, the Smuggler, community. Ninety-nine percent of the people in this forum are the nicest and most intelligent gamers that I know. As diverse as we may be, we all work towards a common goal as a tigh-knit group of players the likes of which I have never seen. I truely am proudto be apart ofthe Smugglercommunity and I tell people that often. And I mean it.

Now for the rant! I don't know about you all but I'm friggin' sick and disgusted of all the Feign Death questions and controversy. I wish EN and Solo were here to put a clamp on these skeezers coming in and asking about it. I really can't stand the FD crap any longer. It ain't gonna be fixed until the Combat Upgrade just like everything else. It's a Bounty Hunter/Jedi issue and it's invading Smuggler space. We've known about the issues and problems and worked out solutions ourselves, maybe they should do the same in their own place. Speaking of which, that brings me to this...

The Smuggler Community's focus group for Publish 11! It's a small footnote in our history but it's one I can say that I was proud to be a part of. Caylin, Geevo, JTG, Dreven, fish, JediArashi, and meworked on this for weeks. I, myself, did the Dirty Fighting tree and was very proud of it and was honored to work with the leaders of the Smuggler community, whatever the result was And that brings me to this...

There's a fewSmugglers in particular that I notice, personally. The guys (cause I don't think any are gals......unfortunately. /hides from gf) that I can say have taught me a whole Hell of a lot whether they know it or not. I guess, this wouldbe the typical "thanks and notible mentions" list.ApologiesifI left someone out...I still know you So here goes lol

Smuggler_Caylin - What can I say that hasn't been said 100 times (to be modest) before. This dude carried the community through what I believe would be the roughest point in our history. From the Publish 9 fiasco on until the announcement of the C.U.R.B. delay business, this guy worked his ass off for the community. Caylin has always been on the ball and stuck his neck out for Smuggler kind, even as non-Smugglerish as that may be. No offense, to LodekDall or WesBelden, but in my book, Caylin will always be viewed as the Smuggler Correspondant that all others look up to.

DrevenStrobe - Dreven. I would have to say that you fall under the key "intelligent" Smuggler for me. Whenever there's a thought provoking thread or something that's being discussed, Dreven is there was something great to say that really sparks thought or adds weight to an arguement. Not to mention his keen GCW/Smuggler knowledge. Much respect for this individual.

Geevo - Respect for this guy too. Geevo is always right there and an intricate part of this community. I really didn't "know" Geevo until I worked with him on the botched Pub. 11 Smuggler Revamp focus group. Well, I still don't really know him but I gained more understanding Geevo's a very cool person that always has something great to post. Something you look for in the more important threads. He still needs to change his views on spice aquisition though

fishbrains - Fishy! No offense, but I like to think of fishbrains as the average Joe of the Smuggler forum. Great posts, good ideas, awesome dude. He's like the cool guy that you hang out with but you don't really know too well for some reason. Always there, always in the conversation...just...I dunno. Keep it up, fish, you're cool

JTGAlpha - Come back to the Smuggler forum! We miss you! Just like Geevo and Dreven, I get JTG mixed up with them all the time because his posts were always good and he was always there. A mainstay of the Smuggler community.

WookieBounty - The man that wanted to shake his a$$ on the hood of White Snake's car. I know Soar from Tarquinas and he's damn cool. I would say that other than me there is not asan active Smuggler on this forum. He's not the brightest but he knows what's going on, for sure. Or he would again, if he'd drag his carcass back from WoW

WesBelden - /cheer for Wes! Wes has been around forever and I was so relieved to have him named as our new Correspondant. So far he's done a bang up job, in my opinion and I believe the trend will continue and begin to surprise us in good ways once the Combat Upgrade really kicks in. I'm really happy to have this guy at the helm at these times.

yimaz - Ah, the Smuggle is strong with this one! I remember seeing yimaz pop onto the forum earlier this year. I think it took like...a day for him to get a feel for the placeand now he's a prominent,productive, and active member of the community. Much fire there is in this one

Ezkiel - Come back! You are cool and we want you around Maybe you're just doing cool developer stuff for the Smugglers andyou're too busy We can only hope!

DigiDante - I don't know how many people have really noticed this dude, but I have. Great community member and someone I really take notice of when I see their posts. Keep it up, man

Nicolas_Frost - I think I've crossed paths wil Nicolas once or twice. I'm still deciding whether he's full of cynicism or pi$$ andvinager! Been around for a long time, and I respect that none the less

Ternque01- Ah, you little pest! Nah, you're cool too You're always popping in for your opinion and it's always a good one. I'm glad you're in our community

And of course, we can't forget our fallen heroes andlegends of the Smuggler community....and some that aren't

electricnomad - A true Smuggler in every since of the word. EN has had an effect on countless Smugglers old and new and will continue so. EN's post were always on the money and backed with quotes, reason, presidents, and sparked thought with even non-Smugglers. If you had him on your side and you didn't win, you got shafted out of the prize heh. /salute electricnomad. You better come back after the Combat Upgrade and Smuggler Revamp!

Solo4114 - Every want to combine the ultra cool items of a SWG Smuggler and Dennis Leary!? Dig up some posts on this guy. Very thought provoking and proven cynic, Solo has a way with words. You could be hopped up on 7 pounds of prozak and after one thorough read-through of a Solo4114 post, you'd be ready to gear up with Uzi's and tackle SOE headquarters! If you want inspiration and fire for your profession read some of his posts!

SanTsu - "You all were just the pimple on my ass." I'll never forget those words spoken by San about Caylin, EN, and Dreven. Much controversy here and I don't want to go too deep. But a worthy mention. /keepsmouthshut

GreenMarine - You just hang tight buddy! We're coming to dig you out as soon as we can. We're just waiting on our AKs and T-72 tanks to arrive from the black market and we'll have you back with us in no time! Or...you know...if you ever just want to break out yourself and stuff that's cool too Come back!

Yall should really check out my Kessel Run idea in my signature and bump it and talk about it! It's really cool! I have someone else in the works too involving Jump to Lightspeed but it won't be ready for a little bit.

Thanks for all the good times and I hope to have many more as time goes on. I'll be a Smuggler indefinately and I mean it. Best community in the game bar none. I really am lucky to say I am part of this profession

YAY! I got mentioned!

Okay, now past the surprise of that, still having trouble deciding on what I am? A little from column A, a little from column B. I like to think I'm a nice guy, but when I get pissed off, it will be noticed. Examples are responces/remarks I've made to Shug_Nix, JFreeman, and Tiggs. They seem to know how to piss me off.

Edit: Oh, and I'm a smartass, but that was already evident.
