Not a great story, but I've only been a smuggler for a little while (my main toon is on Eclipse, my smuggler is on Wanderhome)
So I'm going up through smuggler and I did a little bit of grinding to get to slicing III and spices II. Now I'm not a big fan of grinding, so I decided at that point, I was going to roleplay my progression up throught the skills.
So, I head to the most crowded cantina I could find, which happened to be Coronet, hoping to blend into the scenery. Being the nice guy I am, I start offering free spice to anyone who's interested. Met quite a few new players who thought it was just like food. I told them I would give them 5 samples of spice...if they ate the first one i gave them. A lot of them were like "cool"! Of course, they didn't think it was quite so neeto when they started yaking all over themselves.
Noob 1: Oh my god! This stuff is going to kill me. You @#$@ you poisoned me!!!
Me: Hey man, that's why they have the D.A.R.E. program...to keep kids off drugs.
Noob 2: Whoa dude. I'm feeling woozy.
Me: Yeah, I told you it would expand your mind
Noob 2 pukes
Noob 2: yeah, it just expanded out of my mouth.
All in all, I liked noob 2 better. Nice person.
So then I get a few slicing requests, most are for weapons, which I decline to do, since I don't have slicing IV, and I finally get one for armor. Being a roleplayer, I insist on going behind the bar and into the back room. I don't think he enjoyed roleplaying, but nevertheless it worked out well.
Dude: So why on earth did you have me come back here? You can slice anywhere, dude.
Me: Technically, yes. But the authorities around here are on the lookout for people with my....talents.
Dude: Yeah right. Can I please just get my armor sliced?
Me: If you're impatient, just wait outside the door and let me know if anyone's coming.
Dude walks out the door.
I finish slicing up and walk out the door. I go to trade and suddenly the trade is canceled and I hear the combat music.
CorSec Major is across the bar shooting at me. A little love from my Geo Pistol and down he goes.
I turn to the dude and screa "NARC!!! NARC!!! NARC!!! and point accusingly at him.
I told him I was refusing to trade with him until he could prove he wasn't a narc.
He gave the CorSec Major the /rude emote and then went out and killed another CorSec guy outside the cantina.
Finally I traded with him.
It was great. I made a roleplayer out of someone who normally just wants to getstuff done.

And asking.....
"how do we deleguate faction points?"

So I just wrapped up running some space smuggling missions from dath space station,land in Mos Eisley, and as soon as i walk out of the starport headed for the cantina, i get stopped by this rp stormtrooper.
trooper-"Citizen, by the order of #### (don't remember, just a bunch of odd letters and numbers) I am required to check your identification. If you do not cooperate, I'm authorized to detain you, using whatever force nessicary. Do you consent?"
me-"Sure..."
:hands over fake documentation
trooper-"everything here seems to be in order. move along"
I was hoping to stir up some trouble with the fake documentation, but apparently the trooper was poorly trained.

Customer: Hey can you sell me some faction?
Tristyn: Sure.
Customer: chest, both biceps, both bracers, and gloves.
Tristyn: just a sec, let me get you a price.
*alt-tab out and consult Excel spreadsheet with faction perk prices*
*alt-tab back*
Tristyn: 945k
Customer: Cool.
Customer: Where can we meet?
Tristyn: *WP outside of Cnet*
*customer arrives, we trade, it's all good*
Customer: Now, how does it work if you kill me so I can keep wearing it?
Tristyn: You go overt and put it on, then I can kill you and you'll clone still wearing the armor, but you'll be Covert again.
Customer: *puts on armor, challenges Tris to duel*
/lowblow;
/lastditch;
/lastditch;
/deathblow;
Tristyn: Enjoy
No lie...this actually happened about 30 minutes ago.

lol.. well, he may well have been one of the RP Stormies guarding that PA hall while Darth Vader gave us all a rousing speech, so if so, that deathblow you laid on a fellow Imperial was in finest service to our great emperor.
Nah...this was long after that gathering...

after the desaester the other night with that idiot and few posts up I again go out to make a faction sale.
One the way to the recruiter on the hill in bestine I see and nearly incapped rebl killing storm troopers. Now I'm over and have been in space and wounded with HAMs of 99/99/400 and I think what the hell. With no combat skills apart from smuggler I pull out my FWG5 and shoot him and luckly he's down in like 2 shots. His third incap and he's dead beforeI can deathblow him.
So I finish the faction sale with my customer (it went very smoothly)
Then the rebel comes back to the top of the hill
Noob: Why did you kill me?
Me: Because you were killing my fellow storm troopers.
Noob: I'm trying to become a commando
Me: Then simply don't kill storm troopers.
Customer: Might want to try reb battlefield on coreillia.
Customer: This is a big imp town.
Noob: But I'm rebel. (Now this is the point when I sigh, the boy is standing unbuffed right next to the imperial recruiter with 10 storm troopers around him.
Recruiter: I heard that you seditious scum!
Noob left incapped on the floor
Customer: Oops
Me: lol
Customer: Bad word
Me: It would be cruel to kill him.
Me: Though I'm a very cruel person
I did not deathblow him in the end, just wanted to scare him a little. I'm not that cruel.
Most of the time
