That seems a little malicious.

Now for some fun in RP:
The other week I was waiting for another Shipwright infront of the Theed Starport. It was just a little Kuat Disk exchange. We found each other through the german boards and had some /tell earlier. As I saw him loading in, he got <Master Smuggler> up. Quickly I switched to <Master Smuggler> myself and turned to /mood discreed. He walkes up to me and the first thing I do is running my "secretsmugglerhandshake-macro" on him.
(All talking through /whisper )
me: "Got the stuff with you?"
he jumps in and nods to me: "Yes I got something for you."
he: *takes a little package out of his Backpack*
me: *pulls a small thing out of a little pocket*
he: "take a look at it."
Traderequest comes in from him.
me: "I got the payment right here"
We trade the disks. (6 of 8 for 2 of 8 as I recall)
he: "I am used to this, but right here at this location, it is thrilling."
me: "They don't even notice us."
A overed Imperial comes along and gets killed in three seconds from two rebell Jedis.
me: "See what I mean?"
he: "Still right in public it is thrilling."
me smiling to him: "It is the best hidingplace for this business."
We whispered to each other some more and then parted again. I was sitting there infront of my keyboard smiling from one ear to the other and he shurly likeditaswell, because the first /tell I got from him was a simple 
Not really a chuckle, but something that boosted my spirit for the rest of the day.
*Cheers for Smuggler RP*

After a couple of weeks of not having anything major happen I got one of "those people" the other night, I can't recall the chapter and verse discussion that went on so I shall have to summerise.
I was in coronet minding my own, running some missions looking for that ever elusive vadar poster when I had a tell from someone asking if i could make them a harvister (I always wear my businessman title when i'm walking around to try and add a little legitimacy to my movements). After explaining that I cannot make a harvister as I don't even have engineering 1 he goes quiet, only to turn up around 5 minutes later standing in front of me, again asking for a harvy. I explain again that I cannot do it and again it doesn't seem to sink in (I can almost hear the un-oiled cogs clanking in his head by now). After a couple more clicks through the mission terminal he chimes in again, now asking me for a wind generator. Again I tell him i cannot do it, to which he replies that i'm obviously not a good businessman. I explain that i'm actually a smuggler and just use this as a title to add a bit of "spice" to my game(excuse the pun), of course this was a huge mistake, cos straight away he asks me for a slice.
Figuring that i might actually be able to get rid of him I say yes, tell him my prices and then wait for a response and again all I am greeted with is silence. Figuring that he decided against it I start to walk off to my mission, get just outside the city to where the grass starts and then find that he is now chasing after me spamming "stop i want a slice" over and over again. By now i'm somewhat annoyed as this guy is not only annoying, but also persistant, so I tell him the price again (3K nothing more, nothing less) to which he replies that he can't afford that and will only pay me 1K (cue the instant tip). I examine him and find that he actually may not be able to do this as all he has in his bio is a couple of badges, no guild and no master badges. So feeling sorry for him I tell him that I'll slice his weapon for him this time, he initiates the trade, I accept and am presented with an unsliced....... daggar (not even a survival knife), I ask him if he really wants me to slice this and get a positive answer, so i figure that this can be my good deed for the day so I slice it for him (25% damage... why do the fairly decent ones always go for the crap weapons), give it back to him and he's over the moon that he now got an extra few (like 2 or 3) points of damage. Obviously so excited about getting this new uber knife he instantly challenges me to a duel. I again ask him if he wants to do this (i'm in full comp, carrying a gorax fwg5 that does around 105 dps and fully buffed and he is running around in n00b brawler gear) He nods and again challenges me to a duel. For some reason I really took pity on this guy cos I remembered that 12 months ago I was just like him, so i accepted and immediately hit my FD macro, he took 1 swing at me (did 3 points of damage) and down I went. He stood there for a second, then spammed the /cheer thing a few times before running off to find a monster to fight. After a few seconds I stood up and went on my way, rather sadly I found him incapped surrounded by the thugs just outside coronet, probably wondering why they killed him so quickly after he disposed of a smuggler/pistoleer.......

A lil set up...Im a master smuggler and almost done grinding Shipwright last night im in my house making some chassis andI get a tell from some guy on Sunrunner...keep in mind I am on Kauri. The following story is true..the names have been changed to protect the ignorant.
Noob: can I get a slice?
Me: Thats gona be kinda hard for me to do.
Noob: Huh?
Me: Your on a different server than I am.
Noob: I'm on Corellia, I got 5000 credits can you come meet me?
Me: (thinking... can anybody be this dense?) Umm no I can't Your on sunrunner and im on kauri.
Noob: no Im on corellia..ok I'll come to you where are you?
Me: I'm on Naboo, but what you ask is physicaly imposible..your character is on a diffrent server than I am....(thinking of how to explain this to him)....its like a paralell universe IfI came to you, or you came to me, we wouldn't be in the same place your corellia is a different corellia than my corellia.
Noob: So you dont wana do it? I CAN pay you!
...about now Im convinced this is a friend whos just messing with me with an alt...
Me: I'd love to help you, but I CAN'T, unless you create a character on Kauri or I create a character on sunrunner and spend several days and alot of credits grinding a NEW smuggler over there.
I ennded up putting this guy on iggy as he never managed to wrap is head around the concept or own up to the fact that he was just yankin my chain.
BUT WAIT..THERES MORE!!
So now my heart just isnt in the grind so I drop to the character select screen and log MY alt on Scylla so I send this guy on sunrunner a tell. Figured id test the theory on this guy's understanding of the whole thing.
Me: hey you busy?
Noob: Hi whats up?
Me: can you group with me? I'm kinda new and I need higher missions for better xp.
Noob: ok where are you?
Me: bestine on tatooine.
Noob: ok ill meet you at the shuttle port.
(few minutes pass and he sends me a tell)
Noob: where are you?
Me: in front of the star port right next to the shipwright trainer.
Noob: I dont see you!
Me: well theres nobody else here and i dont see you.
Noob: Im an orange MonCalamarian, you dont see me?
Me: no man I dont, now if you dont wana help me just say so and stop messing with me...oh wait...we are on diff servers no wonder hahaha sorry bud.
Noob: HUH?!
maybe it was a freind messing with me maybe it was just a realy dence noob either way i went off and killed some critters a while butI was done talking to him.

I had a similiar occurence one day long ago before Jediwere actually even in game...
A friend and Iwere in Bestine one day (this was during my first run at smuggler, and back in the day when everyone had a theory of how to become a jedi) Our conversation went a little like this (not word for word , it was along time ago after all) Buddy and I were not wearing a title's
Me ( enter cantina): " You still here"
Buddy ( already there sitting inthe front left alcove) /whisper "Yeah over here friend"
Me: "So I found the old man" (walks over)
Buddy: " SHHHH don't talk out loud"
Me:" Oh, damn I thought we were alone"
Buddy: "Just get over here"
me: /whisper "so I found that old man everyone talks about...he gave me some very exciting news.."
Buddy: /whisper "WTH I just examined you...is that true in your Bio"
Me: " What?"
Buddy: "Is Apprenticed to the Hero"
Me: "I am what??"
Buddy: "DUDE!! does that mean..."
Me: "OMG it can't be true, I saw a funny light when I talked to the old man but....."
Buddy: (no longer whispering)" Man you are so lucky, Grats, first on the server..."
Me: Bombarded by /tells from everyone on sunrunner...
So I burstrun out of the cantina with a crowd following yelling "She's a jedi Get her" (I had a chick toon at the time) the rest of the comments were as you can probably guess "Kill her, permadeath will take care of the @$@#%$" " Someone examine her" etc etc....
I got out of town to my house SE of Bestine, and /logout
Needless to say over the next few weeks I am bombarded everytime I login with "R U Jedi?" , "DUDEZORZ GRATZ on JEDI!!111!"
and the occasional " Can I get a jedi slice on my XXX?" (dunno what a Jedi slice is to this day)
Simply the best conversation I have ever had ingame, if you were not around pre-hologrinders era, you may not appreciate this tale of humor, but those of you oldtimers like me.... I hope you enjoy....

A few nights ago, a friend needed someone to retrieve an item from an auction...
He had to go AFK so he gave me the money and what i needed to get... and the name of the guy....
He guys shows up in the town i live in (between the 2 imperial HQs.... he was a covert rebel)
Some of my friend told on the guild chat that there was someone strange in front of the shuttleport...
I put on my duster, my gloves, and my black sun ace helmet in order to be anonymous... And took shuttle...
Came to him... My friends were around... looking at him without understanding what was going on
Me - *drone* Hello... I'm your contact... You got it?
Him - Are you the one?
Me - *drone* I am the one that had to contact you.... you got it?
Him - Got the money?
Me - *drone* 400k... was the price right?
Him - Seems that you are the one
Him - *gives a black packet*
*trade to get the attachement and give him the money*
Me - *drone* Everything seems to be ok.... I wish it is what you had to give me....
Him - You didn't knew what was the packet?
Me - *drone* I'm only the one that manages to get stuffs travel all around galaxy fast and safe. I don't care what you trade if you ask me to deliver it.
Him - I see, thanks Mr. Delivery Man.... Here's a tip for you.... I may ask for your skills a bit later
*He tips me 5k*
Me - *drone* Thank you for the tip. It will be a pleasure to help such a generous beeing.... Good luck....
And escaped throught the shuttle to deliver the attachement to my friend
Guys, i love smuggling ^^

Medcine Experimentation +1 (now selling it in the lowca trade forums) I proudly told the guy what he had just sold me for 5K and then did the typical /addignore before turning and walking away.
Coincidently, the current bid for it is at 500K so i'm pretty happy that it backfired on his ass for once..... I hate people who try to fleece smugglers who need the xp

Ok... I've got a story for you guys. I have encountered many stupid people, and whenever I'm looking for a crew to help aboard my YT-1300, they seem to be attracted to me. Ok, heres my conversation:
Me: Ok, theres not much in here, it's kinda empty because I had to redeed this ship, so I had to take all of the stuff out.
Her: Wow this is so cool! (as I am puting couches in my ship) Wow, those are nice couches!
Me: Thanks
Her: Can you put stuff in here? Like how you can in a house?
Me: Did you see the couches I'm putting in here?
Her: Yes, their very nice. So can you?
Me: Uh, yah...
Her: Cool! I'm gonna go check out the turrets!
Me: Ok, whatever
Her: Hey! this is cool! How do I get out?
Me: Press the "Leave Ship Station" button
Her: Where is it?
Me: It's in the bottom of the screen
Her: Huh?
Me: Theres a button there... Press it!
Her: Oh, nm! I pressed a button, and it let me out... I'm gonna check out the other turret now.
Me: You do that.
Her: Hey, it's weird up here... Why is the view from the bottom turret so different?
Me: Sigh... /logout
