Thread: A chuckle for the smuggler
I reply, "ello"
Jeffsan tells you, "i was wondering if you could slice 2 swords for me?"
i reply "I can. 100 credits per % per item.
I tell him where i am and he comes to meet me.
Jeffsan Omoef tells you, "lets pray for high damage slices"
i reply, "i can't guarentee anything, but i did do 2 slices for someone today for 41% and 42% slices.
Jeffsan tells you "wow"
Trade takes place
i reply, "Slice first Ryyk blade for 24% speed, Second Ryyk blade for 19% speed."
Jeffsan tells you; "F(censor)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
I reply, "19% is on the house"
Jeffsan tells you, "i needed damage that blows huge c(censor)"
I reply, "2400credits"
Jeffsan tells you, "in your bank"
(it was bank tipped)
Jeffsan tells you, "can you not choose what you slice?"
i reply, "nope, i can't chose % or type of slice, it's all 50/50 chance."
Jeffsan replies, "god! that sucked so bad. Get better from slicer sometime. That's so gay."
I reply, "i've done better, you've just had bad luck on this one"
Jeffsan replies, "it's your clamps or something"
I reply, "It's not always good slices. I had to buy 5 VK's to get a damage slice on em yesterday"
Jeffsan replies, "nahh your clamps suck i bet"
Jeffsan replies, "i've never seen a master smuggler get 2 slices that bad in a row."
I reply, "whatever dude.. I gave you 1900 off the price"
Jeffsan replies, "and i used to be 1"
Jeffsan replies, "use better copper on your clamps if you make them".
I reply, "master smugglers can have the highest slices but also the lowest slices as well"
Jeffsan replies, "I know, i used to be 1."
I reply, "if you knew, you would of KNOWN we can't chose."
Jeffsan "19% is under the such though"
I reply "when you lie, be better at it. no listing of smuggler on your bio. You had no clue smuggler can't chose the slice. if you wanna cry about your weapon that's better performance then it was before you handed it to me, do it elsewhere."
Jeffsan replies, "sorry about earlier. my tantrum"
I reply, and the lies?"
Lol I remember Jeffsan...
Interesting to see not much has changed.

I've also had people think it literally meant I was a Fence, as in picket or chain-link.
Were the 40s on armor or weapons?
In other news, I'm seriously beginning to doubt my smuggler mojo. I just had the worst smuggler luck ever on this poor girl's 8 suits of composite. Not a single slice was over 23%, most were under 20%. I got 5, count them, 5, 11%effectiveness slices.That's really, really sad. She was very understanding and tipped me well, but we both knew that this was terrible, horrible, awful slicing. I'm a Master and I'm getting 11% slices? Insane! I used a wide variety of qualities in my tools, even switching to my top shelf 100% AUKs and 99% knives and clamps that I keep for special occasions (though I am a firm believer that tool quality doesn't matter, I was willing to try anything at this point). All in all, we got 1 pretty crappy suit of composite considering the money she had plunked down on them. I felt terrible and tipped her almost all of her money back. She was super nice though, and insisted on my keeping it.
Just goes to show that for every bad, ignorant, meancustomer there's an extrodinarily understanding and nice one.
(Just noticed this was a double-post, so I am wiping out this message.)

This happened a couple of nights ago.. the customer's name was Sabin-Ryan I believe (this is a good story, not a bad story)...
I obviously can't recall it word for word, but the spirit is true to the actual event (and I shortened it a bit)...
Sabin-Ryan: I have two sets of armor to be sliced, can you handle that?
Way'ev-Da: Sure.. (we trade)
Sabin-Ryan: I know it's random, but Encumberance sure would be nice! lol
Way'ev-Da: Hehe... OK, I'll do the magic Encumberance Dance and hope for the best...
(Severaleffectiveness slices later...)
Sabin-Ryan: DANCE HARDER!!
(more effectiveness slices later...)
Sabin-Ryan: TAKE SOME DANCING LESSONS, YOU BASTAARD! (good-naturedly)

Wayne, remember...tell your clients...."Do NOT tell me what kind of slice you want! The server gods are listening and they are CRUEL."
Just as a note: The server gods are intelligent and know reverse psychology. I tried going to a smuggler with this last week:
Me: Please get me some good speed slices. *I really wanted good damage slice*
Smuggler: 25% speed
Me: Sweet!!!! *still playing the I want speed slices card*
Smuggler: 19% speed
Smuggler: 20% dmg slice
Smuggler: worse dmg slice *can't recall - defintely sub 20 though*
Smuggler: 26% speed slice
Dang! My reverse psych failed completely.
