When I slice I always tell my customers to start praying. If the first slice is bad I tell them to pray harder. Don't laugh it works!


So last night I agree to slice 10 pieces of armor for a friends friend. He hands them to me and it goes like this:


Me: Start Praying

Him: How do I do that? I tried /pray it doesn't work!

My Friend: /emote prays for him

Me: Well I guess you better worship me then

Him: /worship

Me: Chestplate Effect 22 - Pray harder

Him: /emote worships the bothan goddess

Me: Chestplate Encumb 40

Him: Nice

Him: /woship


We go through all ten pieces all of them Encumbrance except the first chestplate and the boots. They were all good slices. There was one 19% but most were in the upper 20's and 30's with I think 2 in the 40's


I was just about to slice the last piece when....


Him: Do you believe in inter species dating...because I think I love you.

Me: Right bracer encum 32 - why yes I do I'm actually engaged to a Doshan

LOL


Something like this happened in Corolag a few weeks ago. I was slicing a suit of armor for a guy and getting really bad results. Really, Really bad. The guy is cool about it though and after one really bad slice, he says "I'm cursed". Next slice,a really good one. On the next slice, just before I cut the last wire, I ask him to say "I'm cursed" again on a whim. He does and I get another good slice.


I sliced the rest of the suit getting good slices with him saying "I'm cursed" each time before the last wire cut.


The Slicing Gods are not mean, they just want to make sure we understand our place.


And another one of some guy challanging a smuggler to a duel.


I'm in the Lucky Despot in Mos Eisley. It's a RP event on Gorath called Scum & Vilany and we (The Kreetles) play at the event. I'm there a little early and I'm reading emails and emoting rumaging through my pack by the stage. I have my Master Dancer titleup andI've got padded armor on.Then some guy comes in and challenges me to a duel (nOOb cloths and a CDEF or dl20 rifle, no badges ). I'm a little angry because I know that this is the same type of player who will abuse entertainers.The type who challange dancers to duels, never tips the entertainers for healing, etc... However, I ignore him and continue to emote rumaging through my pack and he makes his way out the door.


Equipt Modified Republic blaster (34% damage sliced with min/max p-up still on it from the last hunt)

As he was running down the ramp outside the Despot, I was hitting him with last ditch. When he collasped at the bottom, I walked up to his body, changed my title to Master Smugglerand said "Never, ever challange a Master Smuggler to a duel and then walk away" then ended the duel.Changed back to Master Dancer andwalked back up the ramp and went back to emoting rumaging through my pack by the stage.

Oy these people.

Two new stories, small ones.

Im hoping in Bestine and riding out to Jabbas (grinding pilot like a madman for the SA) and a guy sends a tell


Random1: Hello sir, I am new to this game and I was wondering if you could lend me some money so I can buy weapons and armor for myself.

Me: If I lend you the creds, how will you ever learn to make them yourself

Random1: I have been playing for about a month, I know how to make credits

Me: ...ok, so what happened to all your money?

Random1: It's on my other account

Me: Why don't you just log into both accounts and tip the money over yourself

(me feeling bad cause hes an idiot, and moneys not a prob for me)

Tip random1 5k bank

Me: 5k better be good enough, do missions

Random1: but I need 45k more

Add ignore Random1


1k later on the way to Jabba's

Random2: Are you available for slicing? I need someone to slice these containers at the NightSister Caves(it was definitly not the nightsister caves, something worse on Dath, but I foregt, so NS Caves for example heh)

Me:I'm on tat doing SA missions

Random2: I'll pay

Me: You would have to

Random2: I'll pay your normal slicing fee

Me: You expect me to drop everything I am doing, jet over to Bestine, fly to Dath, jet halfway across the planet, to make 8k??

Random2: 8k?!?!

Add ignore Random2


AT JABBA'S

The guy sees me interacting with the pilot trainer, in a long conve heh

Random3: Can you slice a two sets of composite armor

Me: Can't you see I am busy doing missions

Random3: Oh comon it wont take that long

Me: But it won't give me pilot exp

Random3: But you'll get slicing exp, you NEED that

I blink twice, double check to make sure...yes, I am a Master Smuggler.

I don't even add ignore him, I jsut ignore him from that point on


I swear, I mean, there are those cool peeps who will ask you for a slice, and when you say you're busy, they will say "Ok, just message me when your available"

And then there are those idiots who expect you to be ready when they are, but never give you a time of day if you need a hand

I have one, happened just yesterday. It's not related to smugglers or anything, but still somewhat funny.



Anonymous: *challenges you to a duel*

Anonymous: (called me a name, I had the filter on, I like it that way haha)

Mr. Anonymous turns away, and faces someone else driving by, don't quite know what he was doing, but foolishly left an open duel challenge...


I examine him, see no badges, no guild, no nothing, and think, "here's my chance to contribute heheh."


I accept the duel, Unarmed KD 2, unarmed head hit till dead.


Me: "don't call people names..."


Then I DB'd him


I walked away with a huge grin on my face.


Later, I sent him a /tell saying "were you rp'ing?"


me through tells: "I hope Ididn't screw something up."


He logged, and didn't reply to any of my /tells, I almost felt sorry for him

Well this story isnt really funny but it is of the luck that smugglers have, I had the best day of my SWG life and talk about being in the right place at the right time. It was about 2 weeks ago and I was in the Mos Eisley cantina just spamming for locked containers (I was still going up the slicing tree at the time.) When the following occured.

Me:/yell Slicing locked containers for free

NiceGuy /tell me: I have a couple for you.

Me /tell NiceGuy: cool where are you?

NiceGuy: Iam at the starport

Me: ok be there in a few

I run over to the starport and we trade he puts 2 containers in the trade window I slice them and we go to trade back. I look and notice he put 100k in the trade window. I didnt really hit me untill we had traded.

Me: ohh dude thanks (you have to realize I have only been playing for like a month now and 100k for me was a lot)

NiceGuy:np I am quiting the game anyways.

Me: well thanks again man

I start walking away and I am about to send my friend a /tell to tell him what had just happend when I see (out of now where and for no reason) across my screen NiceGuy2 has tipped you 500k.(note this was a different person than the first guy)

Me /tell NiceGuy2: Holy Cow thanks dude

NiceGuy2: np I am quiting the game anyways, is there anything else you need.(lol people get really generous when they are gonna quit the game)

Me:umm you dont happen to have a pistol that I could have do you?

Niceguy2: no sorry but I have a full set of composites you can have.

Me: sure ok

We trade and he puts up a full set of pretty decent comp armor and by this point I am about to have a heart attack. So he gives it to me for FREE and as he is walking away I see again Niceguy2 has tipped you 500k. Then I send him like 8 more tells thanking him and I walk off to tell my friend what just happend.

So that is the story of how I made 1,100,000 credits and got a full set of comp armor just for responding to a tell to slice 2 containers.

So I'm passing through Coronet trying to buy a ship (why does no one stock dune lizards?), with my master title up and of course I get stopped. So I'm slicing away, I get a guy who only has half the money required to pay me. He's a peach about it, and goes off to earn a quick 10k. So while he's gone some novice swordsman comes up and asks me if I could slice a weapon for him. I say sure.


He says, "500 credits per percent right?"


I nearly choke to death on my toast as that's TWICE my going rate.


"Sure is."


Best part? 34% damage slice.


I made so much off that deal I told the kid who was short to gimme 15k instead of twenty and call it even.


Then I get a guy wanting me to slice 2 suits of armor. THEN I get a guy wanting me to slice THIRTY VK's. I tell ya, when it rains, it pours.
