Anthony Edwards: "You just shot that man in the back!"
Louis Gossett Jr.:" Well his back was too me."

LOL, that's exactly how it happened hehe.
Hey, its not called "Dirty Fighting" for nothing. And I think you just set a great example of how a smuggler might act. 
I have a little combat story,
I am solong... lets just say ubermob with the FD bleed shot. When some on comes up with some ATST and starts to att my ubermob. I send tell and ask him not to att my mob as it is my last one then I am logging off. He replys with "F you and such"and keeps killing ubermob. So I stand up and blastubermob with Lastditch and couple of times and ubermob dies and I get thekill wichI was not expectingbut none the less I got it.So he is pissed and he challenges me to a duel... I stop and think to myself he has a ATST well I can takehim. Accept duel, I am uped on tatsunburn and NP, Bleed1 andBleed2 FD...ATST hits me once I am still standing and then a second timeI am FDed he bleeds down toincap I stand and DB him ATST standing there. I get tell from him"You cheat that is not fairF you F that and what not..." Add to ignor list and log out.
Well, every time i come back here to check on my fav thread it has died down to page 8 or something.
Anyway heres the latest and greatest from my world. this paticular story has almost nothing to do with anybody but me. I just finally made level 4 slicing, yea for me i can make clamps now! i have bought a factory to start cranking the clamps out, well i come to realize that i need to make a schematic to make the clamps. I have a friend in my guild that makes me a station so that i can make a few schematics. i try for about an hour to figue out how to do it, i send him a few tells and he tells be back that i just have to pick schematic instead of prototype when crafting. i try for another half hour. after all this i am really tired of this junk and try to make a bit of spice with my chem food kit, well i happen to have my food station right next to my item station and so low and behold the option comes up to make a schematic! well this throws me for a loop, why does the food one work but the item one doesn't? i look at my kit just to make sure its the right one, yes its a *GENERIC CRAFTING KIT* for a weapons droid and general items station. (if you have noticed my mistake at this point congratulations it took me another half hour to realize it) so i keep at it trying to make the fool thing work then it ocurrs to me well the food and chem one matches its name perfect but the item one doesn't. BOOM, like the deathstar exploding it finally hits me I'VE BEEN USING THE WRONG TOOL FOR THE LAST 2-3 HOURS!!
well i hope that give you guys a thing to smile at i know it gave my friends plenty to luagh at. man i hate it when i act like a total n00b lol
Here's an interesting tidbit that just happened to me this afternoon. I was south of Coronet camping the swooper spawn for loot when suddenly a message went across my screen *blah blah enhanced your health by 1XXX*. I look around, and my benefactor is no where to be found. Wow, I thought, must have been some nice doc with an extra health buff pak. So I continue on killing swoopers, and more messages flashing across my screen, each telling me that another one of my stats have been buffed. I was amazed that there would be such a nice doctor out there, buffing for free. I look around again, but again...no doc. so I sent him a tell, thanks, that was nice of you. And a while later, I get my reply, the doctor was laughing. So I asked him what he was laughing about. Well, it so happens that I use a randomly generated name, and it turns out that the trooper pet that he was buffing also had the same randomly generated name as I did. For a long time, the doctor was freaked out, thinking that his pet was talking to him, thanking him for the buffs that he put on it

Good one!
Well, it seems most of the threads here have been horror stories about the general uneducated population in SWG. My story is comparatively lame, but IMO, noteworthy....Whereas I received the help of an unselfish smuggler and simultaneously had one of the most fun times in SWG.
I'm a novice smuggler. I set out one night this week on a mission.....finish slicing containers. I spent the better half of the day researching everyone's opinions as to the best places to find some containers. Already halfway to mission terminals, I figured "Heh, shouldn't take me too long.".
So I start out killing the plasma thieves in Moenia. First guy I kill coughs up a container. Yay! ooops a failed slice. Now it's off to Corellia. Coronet, specifically, where I figured I try my luck taking out some of those Corsec guards. I hadn't really gone after them before 'cause they always conned red or yellow to me, and I never really thought they were worth the effort for the minute chance oflooting a container. But someone said they had success looting containers from them, so I called my Peko Peko,and started assasinating the guards. Of course, thanks to my newbness, I failed to realize how social thoseba$tards were, and quickly got my pet killed and high-tailed it outta there with a good burst run. Enough of those guys.
Next stop:Tattooine....Mos Espa to go get me some swoopers.(First time in that city).I run afew missions and after a good 45 minutes, I don't find any containers. Plus the town is deserted. I decide to get up and go, when I see a poor little lonely stormtrooper, just waiting for a beating. Call pet # two...My Wrix. I'm thinkning I'll tank the wrix, bleed the ba$tard, and bodyshot him to death. Next step.... /tellpet attack! Claws rushes in to initiate what I thought would have been a fairly easy battle. I take a glance at my radar and all of a sudden there's red dots EVERYWHERE! With a distinct lack of loyalty, combined with the desire to save my own skin, I leave my pet to his doom, and charge towards the spaceport, hoping to get there before I'm caught. I buy my ticket, and the shuttle's there.....waiting to take me to safety.
Back to Corellia.... Tyrene. I get off the shuttle, still shaken by the days events. A little embarrased, I decide to take out my frustrations on the local thugs. On my way out of the shuttle port, I run by a master smuggler....Huunter Rose. I nod at him, showing my appreciation and respectfor his title, but keep runnning. (Out of respect I didn't want to bother him).
First stop : the bank. I had some hot credits that needed depositing, and I wanted to check the bazaar terminals to see if anyone was selling containers. I look over my shoulder, and there he is again. The master smuggler. I thought it was just coincidence that we ended up in the same place, but that was not the case. I quickly recieved a tell from Huunter, asking me where I was on the slicing tree. After he got my answer, he sent a trade request and gave me a container and a molecular clamp. I thanked him and tipped him 3,000 credits for his generosity, but he promptly gave me the money back and graciously welcomed me to the smuggler community.
Anyway.....I know it was a bit long winded, but it had been a really, really, fun night....topped off with a good deed from a fellow smuggler. Just wanted to share the experience.

Stealing hearts from Nal Hutta to Corellia.
I'm headed to Anchorhead last night and I see a medium Tatooine house with the following sign:
Rebellion HR Department: Complaint form inside
I walk up to the door and find the house is set to private.
Holy geez I smuggled something (not really funny, but I'm afraid to start a new topic)!!
A few friends and I were in Mos Taike, farming AT-ST helmet missions. One of my friends decided he wanted a camera from the criminal there, so he did the mission, got the camera, and gave it to me to hold onto. I say "fine," we show some Bantha Matriarchs who's theboss, and call it an evening.
The next day I /tell him and let him know I still have that camera, and that I'll bring it to him. The smuggling adventure began when Iunwittinglyhealed up an overt friend of mine and incurred a TEF. So there I was, running through Tyrena, when someone opens fire on me. I LowBlow/Panic Shot and then burst run away, wondering how this guy got a shot off, when I put 2 and 2 together.
I spent the next 10 minutes sneaking around Tyrena, avoiding whatever blue dots I saw on radar. After the TEF expired, I got my friend his camera.
Not funny or interesting to anyone besides myself, but I felt like I was actually smuggling something, and with that successful escape I felt like I could take on anything!
So I soloed a grand wrix and died. **edit** them with their 100% heat resistences and my completelack of intelligence for not using anything besides my FWG5.
A few days ago some unfortunate droid engineer lost a power lifter droid in front of the Dearic Spaceport. The poor droid wandered back and forth in front of the spaceport in search of its master. The droids name?

A simple one:
Pushed some shadowpaw on a dancer with my old smuggler on Radiant.
Dancer tell: "Wow! This stuff is great!"
Me: "Isn't it though? Hey, if you need more, we'll talk."
10 minutes later....
Dancer: "That's not f***in funny..."
(apparently, she thought those stats were gone forever)
