It's ok, Caylin, I knew I wasnt invited... (* cries softly *)


You could also try this tactic: Ask them if they know "Leslie the cross-dresser" in downtown Austin (They will). Tell them he used to play SWG as a smuggler until he just couldn't take it any more (this is a lie, but the shock therapy may work). Leslie is an Austin icon: A cross-dressing homeless guy who wanders downtown in women's lingerie and high heels. He ran for mayor a couple of years ago and finished second, or so I understand.


Just so you're not totally shocked if you get here:
Information About Leslie

lol! I've seen Leslie wandering around before, but didnt know he was so well-known. Austin is a fun place, but I dont know if I will ever get use to its quirks!

Well, all we can hope is we get some attention - there are sooo many things that need to be urgently fixed with smugglers that I'm stunned they've always been put to the bottom of the pile before now.

Mmmmmm - full breakfast


Bacon

Eggs (fried,poached or scrambled)

Beef Sausage

Mushrooms

Tattie Scones (or Fried Bread)

Haggis

Fruit Pudding (don't ask)

Fried Porridge (Highlands only)

Beans (optional - purists disagree)







Why does it worry me that you put the"don't ask" after the FRUIT PUDDING???


And, funny story: We had a Tartan Day here a few months back, so, part Scot that I am, I wore my kilt. And my wife has the great idea to stop at the store on the way home. This old man kept asking me if I ate Haggis, or where my bagpipes where. When I told him I'd never had haggis, he said, "What's wrong with you?"

I suspect the summit will focus primaily on the uber combat profs - each correspondant trying to come up qith an excuse why he shouldnt be nerfed to hell and back - or possibly coming forward with arguments for why balance is a good thing.


For Smugglers? A fob off, a wait and see, an "in the pipeline" nonsense excuse that gets us no where. The kinds of changes people want for Smuggler require major coding - not stat tinkering and little trade windows like ID got for example (that being the last proper prof I recall getting any luvvin').


Can any Smuggler buddies think of a profession, other than Jedi (which I am pretty damned bitter about anyway) getting a MAJOR restructure and virtual re-write?
