Smuggler Archive

My first profession was dancing. One night while doing my thing in my favorite cantina, a novice smuggler was giving out free samples of his spices in the hopes that someone will like them and place an order with him in the future. He casually asked me if I would like some that would increase my action pool - letting me dance longer. This was way back in July and I had never even heard of spices before, but I was excited at the idea of being able to dance longer for my customers and so I took it without hesitation.

A minute later a young man walkes into the cantina. I eagerly begin to chat casually with him, trying to make his cantina experiance a happy one in the hopes of a nice, big tip. He's a nice guy and we're having a good conversation and so I begin a little friendly flirting... Just at that moment the spice wore off and I threw up on my prospective customer.

I have never taken spice since, even now as a master smuggler.

I used to give away giggledust to everyone in the cantina. Or yarrock to all the medics in the medical center. Eight minutes later everyone was puking. God what fun.

Surprised this thread got stickied. It's been around awhile and held up well. Smugglers are fun people.

I stickied this thread becuase its kind of like the smuggler wall of shame.

Plus its just too funny.

You shoulda found out where he lived.

I got a guy that messaged me yesterday:

Guy: Hey, can you slice weapons

Me: Sure can. You know how smuggling works?

Guy: How it's random? Yeah, sure. How good are your slices normally?

Me: It varies. Sometimes I get a run of great slices, sometimes I get a run of crappy ones. Just the way the game is played, my friend.

Guy: No really?

Guy: I thought they (that) everything is perfect and every1 wins every fight.

Guy: @$#%in' moron

Guy: ignore list

So I respond with a simple: I hope I am on your ignore list. I don't need to deal with an @$$. Have a nice day.

What is wrong with people?

Here's a new one that those of you who sell FP can relate to.

As you know, you have to be declared to delegate faction points, and doing so can make you quite a tasty target to PVP hounds. I prefer to take my clients to a well armed and defended faction detachment base. this puts several dozen NPC's and a few turrets between myself and opposing faction players. It also ensures that whoever im selling faction to isnt there to trick me into an easy kill. Believe me, they have tried.

There's the setup, here is what happened.

I was on my way to sell faction points to a client when i got a few rude words spoken to me by an opposing player. I wasnt declared, so they were taking a chance that they werent talking to a neutral. Either way, they informed me through a series of grunts, growls, and what may have been fowl words (I am not quite sure, because my character doesnt understand neanderthaleeze), that they and their buds were going to follow me and kill me for selling faction points to the other side. I laughed and told the growing group of enemy players that their entire group couldnt kill me if they wanted to for two reasons. One, I wasnt declared, and two, even if i was, when i am declared i run a feign death macro so that if i am shot at, i immediately drop to the ground and play dead.

This of course pissed them off more, and they dared me to tell them where i would be selling. Feeling rather adventurous, i even gave them the exact waypoint of where i would be. My client wasnt going to be declared, and the base was well known by both factions, so i didnt have to worry about anyone but me. I flew to the city, declared, sold the faction, and then waited in the base for my standing to revert back to covert. Common practice for me. While im waiting, I have to leave the house for a while, so i hit my feign death macro and leave.

When I return, I am on teh ground, feigning death, with 99% health wounds, my action wounded 3 quarters of the way, and my mind almost completely wounded as well. So im not dead, but the 15 opposing faction members who tried to make it to the bottom floor of the faction base are, and the only person to make it to me and beat on me for a while dies the moment I stand up at the hands of the owners of the base. This person happens to be the exact same player who had gotten in my face not 2 hours earlier.

In /tells i get a message fromhimthat was rife with foul language, but ultimately told me that he was pissed at me for not tellinghim that 'feigning death' meant that they couldnt kill me. So an entire squad died trying to kill me, only to fail while i was AFK. And the base? only a few npc's down and the turrets were in fine condition.

After hunting Rancors for a while headed back to catch shuttle in the gloom of Dathmir.Got me ticket and as usual ive just mist the dam thing, .Two other peeps are standing by and the usuua the emotes start

to the original poster of this thread. the guy who sent u that tell was obviously a newbie. and u shouldnt be making fun of him. he was obviously trying to playout some of the spirit of the movies. but hadnt had his spirits broken yet by the dev team which obviously all of us on this board have.

hehe, well, I for one thought it was a great story... the beginning to this great thread.

I hearby institute the Bleeding Hearts club, with Ditolus as my first nominee.
