/bump



this deserves to be on top. greatest thread there ever was.



I think the only content smugglers got was actually having to deal with all the idiots in the galaxy.

I'm tending to my factory, which is near my house, which is on an island. No else around. Suddenly a guy appears from behind the factory.

Guy: Yo

[immediate red flag goes up]

Me: Yes?
Guy [unguilded novice marksman with mabari skirt]: Can you slice?
Me: Maybe. What do you need?
Guy: Two pieces of armor.

[tell him the fee...haggle back and forth]

Guy: I don't know, seems kind of pricey.
Me: OK, look. I'll do both pieces for 4000 total.

[no response]

Me: I'm going to get some exercise while you're trying to decide.

[start running laps around my house]

Guy: OK. Yes.
Me: OK. Trade.
Guy: Hey, do you have 4000 so can buy this cool gun?
Me: Uhhh, no I don't.
Guy: Then I don't know if I can afford the slices.
Me: OK, too bad. Maybe you can find a job in town? See ya, bye.

[take off for Coronet]

Funny stuff! Unfortunately no experience I've had can compare to those. But how many people have gotten requests to fix things while you've had th "Fixer" title up?


OMG, you dont even know. The only title i use is fixer because thats the only skill tree i mastered.

Random_Moron: Hi there.

Me: Hello

Random_Moron: Can you fix my weapon?

Me: No, why would you ask me?

Random_Moron: Because your title says fixer. Isnt that like a master artisan or something?

Me: Nope, sorry. Its a smuggler title. Top or the underworld tree.

Random_Moron: Oh ok, can you repair my armor?

Me: No, i cant repair anything im just a smuggler.

Random_Moron: Ooooh! So then whats the point?

Me: /ignore. /shootSelfInHead




Reminds me of when I first made my Emergency Technician tag in medic.

I had my Fixer title up (because it's a cool title)


Chick- "Hey, can you repair my speeder?"


Me - "Sorry dear, not that kind of fixer."


Chick - "Oh, well then, what do you fix?"


Me - "The odds, baby. The odds."


Not very comical, but it oozed of hipness.

So, I'm slicing armor outside of the Moenia Cantina.


On the last piece, a Mummer Thug decides he hates me.


I freak out and cut the positive instead of the negative.


I give the guythe whole suit forfree, appologize profusely and log out.



Go inside to slice at Moenia Cantina.

Yesterday, I decided to impersonate the Slicer in Theed. I think it turned out pretty nice... You be the judge.

This is a pretty good one. The other night I was shopping for some fruit(no really I was) when I get a tell from a weaponsmith asking me if I could slice a few weapons for him, I say sure and he tells me he is at the starport(Coronet) so I meet him there. Thats where the fun begins.


After slicing his 5 or so weapons I get jumped on by people asking for something to be sliced,no problem I have lots of clamps, knives and such so I go to work. One guy send me the usual tell asking me to slice his 2 pistols , sure no prob, but he is like 6th in line and I explain that to him, he says ok. About every 20 seconds or so he sends a tell asking if it's his turn yet , every time I say no.So finally its his turn and I slice his 2 pistols go to trade them back and I put them in the trade window and wait for him to tip me or put the cash in the trade.I wait and wait and wait , finally I tell him that its 5000 credits or no pistols and he says and I quote" What! I thought slicing was a free service." I gave him his guns back and said merry X-mas and just let it go.Lookin gback it was probably my fault I may not have told him my price with so many tells coming in . Oh well.

Me: hey i found 2 twin force crystals in the containers you sold me!

me: how about this ill sell them back to you?


him: really ok (opens trade window puts in 10k)

him: what no way am i paying that you theif??!?!?!?!?!!
