Becoming a Smuggler later in life is not a crime. (hehehe well actually it is 
) I know I am a Smuggler since what, 5 months? I lost track, but something like that.
Becoming a Smuggler AFTER the revamp is not "bad" either. I always saw this community being warm and welcoming toward new Smugglers. (new pigeons to pluck at Sabaac?
) What is bad tho is lying to try to gain "standing" in the community. Thoses who try that might find a slightly colder welcome. hehehe I might not be an old fart (actually I am, but not Smuggler wise) but I will have fun munching popcorn and watching the show (selling tickets?) when our community veterans gleefully debunks thoses lies.

Smuggler Already has been a flavor of the month with BH's and Jedi. maybe we should make a list of all the old time smugglers and put it as a sticky up top. that way the noob's will know who we are. could be like a smuggler memorial of old. all the ones who stuck it out.. what do you think?

I'll have to re-write my triple threat guide 
While beating up your enemy with fist and pistol expect to be bombarded my tells for slicing. Some of these tell may even come from the person you are shooting at. The most effective way to deal with "tell hell"as a triple threat is to make the following macro and bind it to a quick an easy key.
/reply sorry I can't slice for you at the minute I'm currently fight.
/pause 5;
/reply no I'm afraid I'm not going to stop fighting to slice your equipment, send me an email and I'll get back to you as soon as possible, I will get back to people in the order all the emails came to me;
Another option is to place the whole macro on a loop of around 30 seconds as that is the average time between slicing tell demands. you can do this with the command.
/m IamNotASliceMonkey;
Tig will be my squadleader and I'm sure SL will be another proffession that see a huge influx of people after the CURB has hit. Kenney will go back to triple master no matter what and hopefuly I won't have to take medic to stay alive while fighting. (This is a big issue with me as we we should not be manditory for use to take up any proffession to compete)
Yes the Smuggler Revamp will bring in new people, hopeful those will fit in perfectly this fine communitity. I don't expect the power gamers will stick it out long enough for us to notice. I don't like pretenders and it is amazing how many people come up with. "I was here at day one, when really I wasn't" or "I was a smuggler way back when but only stuck it out long enough to get the badage for the holo-grind I know exactly how smuggler works" when you get into an arguement with them.
I'm sure all the old timers will have a chuckle when the new flock of smugglers come in asking what the hell we are talking about the randomness in slices, the wows of getting 21% speed slices, and the use of clamps and knives to slice with
Oh and just because you haven't got round to mastering smuggler doesn't mean your not a true smuggler, as long as you're not an uber l337 dabbler

Not to mention, these "long time" smugglers are going to ask questions, in which the answers are in the stickies....I think that would best serve as proof.

Lets see...got the game about 2 yrs ago, got master smuggler in October of '04. Not an "old Fart", but i've been around long enough to know about smuggler...it will be interesting to see all of the "old" smugglers coming out of every nook and cranny...but hey, we'll know who is telling the truth and who isn't...we are smugglers after all.

Well, to be expected, just as I'm sure the Entertainer forums will get "I've been a Dancer since Day 1" when they get revamped.
Wonder if the stickies should be revamped from their clear concise headings to something even more "lowest common demominator" so people will check them first.
Ah well.
Cheers

*giggle*
If the profession is more fun then more people will play smugglers. I'm supportive of people having fun.
Do you boys really have to play "I was here first?".
Now with that said, it would be kinda nice to have some small professional bonus for time served as a master. I imagine it would lead to monopolies if it was significant so it would have to be minor.

Well boys will be boys *wonder who can pee the highest*.....
I dont think we will be doing a "I was here first" thing but I do see a lot of people flooding the profession and that's fine we could use some new blood.

Yay! I want to be an old fart! *poots some dust out of his bee-hind* 
I have a low tollerance for ignorance...especially FotM and 1337 dewd idiocy. Such that you find in the BH forums. I mean, there are some really cool people in there but you've got some real asshats that I think will be shifting our way.
I predict this forum's average star rating is going to drop at least by .5 stars. I was proud of my 4.2 even Only .25 away from it looking like 5 starts lol)
Only .25 away from it looking like 5 starts lol)Anywho, I don't mind new people so long as they aren't the kind of 8th grade mentallity of "I find it fun to climb the hierarchy by downing others" and trying to make everything the way they want it instead of what's best for the community.
That's what worries me We've had a nice system going for about a year and a half where people say what they'd like to have but most often end up advocating the best choice for the community/profession. Very cool. Now, I fear we'll lose that

Just in case you're right about the flood of people who now think smugglers are cool (as opposed to those of us who have always known it is cool), I've been working on a Read the Stickies macro for the forum. I haven't quite gotten it worked out yet, but I'll let you kmow when I do.
