I have to share one with everyone...Last night I flew into Coronet for Borvo the Hutt. Shortly after I leave the space port I see the typical "slicing locked containers for free" shout. I had just aquireda locked container earlier and figured I'd let the new guy open it and get some exp. So I give him a /tell and let him know I have a container for him. We meet up at the bank, I hand him my container, and here is how it played out:
New Smuggler: "Arrgghhh!"
Me: "Choose the wrong wire?"
New Smuggler: "No, this container was already sliced"
Me: "??? Um...No it wasn't"
New Smuggler: "Yes it was, I used a molecular clamp on and it didn't open"
Me: *smacks head with his hand* This is the part where I explain to him that he neads to read the screen after he applies the molecular clamp to the container. I'm like, "Dude, just because you install a clamp doesn't mean you can just cut whichever wire floats your boat and the container will open."
New Smuggler: "Are you sure?"
Me: *points up at the master smuggler title*
New Smuggler: "Oh!"
Me, my rifleman bud, and some newjack we just met were cutting through Han's missions on Lok (that night I saluted you, SanTzu) when we got jumped by some pirates.
These pirates apparentlyhave SICK accuracy, and I'm taking insane amounts of mind damage - no helmet, a smuggler is all about style and my hair's too cool. I have about 4 mind left when I take a Muon. My mind leaps up, I heal the rifleman, and we stomp all over the pirates and finish the mission.
Heading out to our second mission, my downer hits just as more pirates swarm in to attack. I suck it up and put on a helmet, but my 300 mind gets wasted fast, and we all wind up on the ground as the pirate heads over to deathblow us.
25 meters...14 meters... 6 meters... "Muon Gold by Dmytri downer complete!" I leap to my feet with 500 mind and wipe the floor with the few remaining pirates.
Newjack: "How'd you heal that mind damage?"
Rifleman: "He's a drug addicted smuggler. Sometimes it gets us killed, sometimes (like now) it saves our lives."
That new guy wound up buying all the Neutron Pixie and Muon Gold I had dumped onto the Lok bazaar earlier.
Sometimes, I have a bit of an evil streak...
A buddy of mine in my guild has been working pretty steadily towrds Master Smuggler. A couple of nights ago, he was only 103K away from the master's box. Due to RL stuff I didn't get in the game yesterday and when I logged back in, I had an email from him stating that he qualified for master. He had decided to wait so I could train him.
Now, for the last 2 weeks, he's been wearing an Emergency Technican tag to keep the tells down. I, on the other hand, seem to have found myself in tell hell too many times to count and he has had a pretty good laugh about it. He sends me a tell when he gets in the game and I tell him I'll meet him in Coronet so I can train him...with one condition. First, he has to wear his Rogue title and he has to show me the Master title after he has trained. I finish my mission and as I'm running back into town, I set myself to anonymous -- just in case. I meet him at the starport, put on my Master tag, put on my armor and tell him to take a knee. Kind of like a knighting ceremony (got that from Eightaces). I train him in Underworld and then Master. True to his word he shows me his title.
/shout Let's hear it for Jacen! The newest Master Smuggler on Corbantis!
I immediately flip to my Rogue title and I'm still anonymous. As you can imagine, he starts getting pinged pretty badly. A pretty big crowd of people gathers to get their slice. I sit and laugh with a couple of guild mates while he is working. Sure, its good money but seeing as how he hadn't really planned on "working", it wasn't exactly what he had in mind. As the line starts to die down to just a person or two, he sends me a tell that he has hit 35% damage on a weapon. A great Master quality slice.
/shout 35% damage? Now that's what being a Master Smuggler is all about!
The tells start all over again and the crowd begins to gather...
This happened to me as well. I had hit Slicing 3 not 30 minutes before and a guy asks me to slice his full set of white Composite Armor. I got 1 slice done, and crash! I was so freaked that he was going to accuse me of stealing his armor, but it was a server rollback, so he had the same problem, and he was cool about it.
wow,these storys are great.Ive spent the last hour reading the whole thread.
good times.
Apparently there's a bug with slicing rings which lets you propose to anyone, even if they don't have an identical ring. So for the past two weeks I've been proposing to every dancer, medic, Combat Medic (I LOVE COMBAT MEDICS), musician, and any other chick I could find that had helped me out in one way or another. So far (1:23pm EST Tuesday)I've been rejected 51 times.
Yeah, that's funny, but how does it relate to smuggling? Good question. I'm also a Neutron Pixie fiend. And I have an 850 health.
So I'll take some Pixie, wait 12 minutes, and propose to another lovely rodian femme (I got a thing for the snouts). She of course rejects me. I exclaim, "No! I can't handle this!" The Neutron Pixie downer hits, I quick do "/emote commits suicide from rejection" and fall to the ground.
I've done this about 15 times.
My conversation:
Anonymous: Kyen! can you slice my kaadu!
Me: Sorry I can't slice animals.
That's funny enough I think
My best one is someone gives me a tell asking me if i can slice his weapon ,
me- sure but i am 2000m north of coronet
him- thats thats ok,i'm in town I'll be right there
me- ok i'll wait (after killing a butt load of humbabas i could use a rest)
he gets there and we trade and i get to tell him his pair of vibro knuckles have already been sliced.
not the best story,but Psiros is right , we don't have too many "special" people on flurry(thank the maker)
