Thread: A chuckle for the smuggler
and here i consider myself one of the best bothan smugglers in the galaxy and have no funny story to tell, i've never been ripped off, or jipped really. *sigh*
I have to say this thread is the funniest thing I have seen since I started playing this game 3 months ago. I have read every post and like many, most of my co-workers think that I should be committed for laughing to myself through out the day. This is not a smuggler specific thing but I thought it was pretty funny.
I was working on my pistol xp, finally finished Dirty Fighting 4 and now going up the Underworld tree. I'm a rebel and every time I see these spawns of Storm Troopers, maybe 10 of them total I always stop and pick one away from the herd to kill it, then rinse and repet the process until all 10 are dead. I just made the entire group aggro me and started to run away, when I get this tell from a guy about slicing.
Once I finally get far enough away and LowBlow/Latch Ditch this trooper, I respond that I can slice his gear but i'm outside of Corenett and he will have to meet me. About 3 troopers later, the guy shows up with 2 of his friends, they are all Rebels. I was actually a little nervous that a small group of imps would show up and then I would have problems.They stand around watching me fight these two more troopers and then decide to join in the fight to help me out, although I was fully buffed and spiced out of my mind, I didn't really need it.
The three guys attack this one troopers, the trooperquickly kills all three of them in about 30 seconds.
Not only did I loose three customers in the matter of a few mins, but I get these tells from them asking for free slices since they tried to help me and they all died. I could do nothing but sit and laugh while I was staring at their dead bodies. I ended up giving them each one free slice for the laugh factor.
Wookie: hey you should fix your title
Me: why?
Wookie: its broken, it should say fencer
Me: but I'm a Fence
Wookie: lol ur a fence?
Me: Drug Dealer
Wookie: oh
..and then there was that time when I had to explain to a guilded Imperial (with several mastered professions might I add) what Muon was and exactly what it did. I couldn't believe that one.

I feel u'r pain man, me and you are both Bothans, i guess people know not to mess with us
But my excuse was simply, boredom!
now i can go to bed i have sat for the last 6hrs reading grrr forum godsYeah! Two days of being a master smuggler and already two stories! Though the first one isn't smuggler specific just funny.
I'm including links to screenies of the convo for the first story
I'm in the rebel on rori trying to cheaply get my way out of the whole I dug myself with the rebels when I was an imp when this noob starts causing a spectacle. It even started off with one of those noobish comments making you give them the o.0 look. Take a look.
You can't tell from the text obviously, but the guy who challenged teh noob was holding a llc and the noob holding a cdef rifle. Despite this and typical of where this was heading, the noob accepts the duel. About 4 shots later, the noob is lying on his back incapped. True to his word, the challenger heals the noob only the second the noob stands up, the noob initiates attack on the challenger! 
2 seconds later the noob's a corpse. Odd noob...
My second story is more smuggler related. I'm standing in Kor Vella waiting for a shuttle to go to coronet when this other noob comes up and askes me if I'm selling a landspeeder. I'm wearing my Master Smuggler tag so at first all I do is stare at him...o.0 what?I tell him I'm too attached to my landspeeder to sell him one. He says, "ok" and the conversation ends for about a minute until he asks me if I'm selling any weapons. Jokingly, I tell him I'll sell him my dagger. He asks if it's good to which I respond with, "it's not bad." Amazingly, he says his typical "ok" and asks how much. Before I have a chance to respond he suggestes, "1k?" My jaw literally dropped at that! I'ld only paid 100c for thee dagger in the first place! Thinking this is just some guy playing a prank, I agree. He promptly sends a trade request. I accept and put the dagger in the window and he puts 1000c in his window and clicks the accept button. Dumbfounded, I accept the trade. He acts all happy and thanks me then asks if I have anything else for sale. I tell him no weapons but pixie and muon. A question mark shows above his head so I explain to him spices are temporary stat buffs and show him a hit of muon and pixie. He asks how much so I tell him 8k per crate. He responds with "ok" yet again so I ask him which he wants to which he replies with, "both." I just say whatever to myself and open up the trade window and put a crate of muon and a crate of pixie in. Faithfully, he puts in 16k and we complete the trade (don't ask me where he got the credits). Just before he runs off I tell him to watch out for the downer, it can be dangerous. Again, "ok" and off he runs... 1k for a dagger... incredible.
And finally, just for your viewing pleasure, I killed the devil! look!
obstinant piece of... difficulties with the links..
