Thread: Quick question(not inFAQ)
I miss the days where just having a Master Smuggler title and not being /anon was all the advertising you needed. Of course, for every customer who knew what they were getting into, there were ten who'd say "I want a Speed Slicing. You use good tools right?"

It made me think of that old PSA we had here in American in the last 1970s where Iron Eyes Cody sheds a tear as he looks upon the river cluttered with garbage.

Exactly! Sometimes reference don't always make if from one side of the pond to the other. In fact, I've always wondered what Mike on the Young Ones was refering to when he said the Harvy the Basstard was a "bloke who worked at Rumbleos (sp)?"

It slides slowly down the cheek, causing a strange wet, yet tickling sensation, until reaching a point where it loses contact with the skin and drops, plummeting to the ground, destroyed, lost and soon forgotten.
Wow.
That was gorgeous.
Just... perfect.
Sums up beautifully the loss of hope I feel for the future of this game: the way Jedi has been implemented, the lack of a GCW, the continued downgrading of what were amazing graphics and lighting, the introduction of the banal "Level" system, the handicapper general's vigilance regarding making sure that the armorsmiths, weaponsmiths, chefs and other crafters cannot exceed mediocrity, no consequences regarding a contraband system and/or a criminal underworld, the lack of content and attention for most professions and -- most particularly -- the smuggler profession (one of the three iconic SW professions).
And now -- the Jedi expansion. Coming in November to a store near you.
The Smuggler Poet. That's what we'll call you.
Despairing,

I happen to know Kojak and he actually Spams MO himself so not sure why he would have a go at you for spamming. He is actually a very nice guy and is getting a very good Rep around the server. I am also a smuggler but if it was my main Prof I would take a Leaf out of Kojaks Book.
