Thread: A chuckle for the smuggler
Im in Bestine just standing there with my Slicer title and talking to some friends when thischick comes up to me.
Chick: Hey can you slice locked containers?
Me: Yeah, but ill charge you 2k for each container. Try and finde a smuggler who needs the XP and will pay you to slice them.
(Just so happends theres a Novice Smuggler yelling that he will pay 3k to slice your container not even 10m away)
After 30 seconds of her standing there and contimplating it she agrees and pops 3 containers in the trade window. Novice Smuggler 10m away still spammin that he will pay 3k to slice your container. I finish up and trade back the containers and get my 6k and she goes on her merry way.
Message: blah blah blah you picked the right colour.
NoobMe: Sweet, peice of cake. blue.
.. start on next container:
NoobME: Cuts blue.... since it worked last time right?... Blue must be the colour you're supposed to pick all the time.
NoobMe: PHAAAAARK. Wasted a container. So I proceed to slice some more coz its kinda fun. success rate: 1 out of 3.
NoobMe: This is not good. Posts on forums "Hey can a Novice Smuggler use clamps?"
NoobMe: Spends whole day looking for clamps, no one has em anyway. Finds one... whoooptteeedooo.

Okay, I'm in a PA city not far from Kaadara on Naboo sitting in the empty cantina making some spice (I love my trusty little generic craft kit!). After doing this for several hours (just wanted some peace and quiet while I slowly healed) a declared rebel walks in. She glances towards me and asks me what my faction is. Being a covert imp and having some bad experiences with rowdy rebel players, I simply stated neutral and kept crafting. Apparently she recognized my guild nameof PxI asPraxis Imperia (obviously an imp guild name) and starts ranting about how this city won't tolerate any "dirty ***licking imperial ****suckers."
My first thought is, "whoa, talk about mixing roleplaying with medication!" As she continues to rave about my sexual preferences and about the sexual preferences of the Empire's members, I continue to ignore her and craft my spice. Finally she challenges me to a duel, saying how this is the only way I can be taught a lesson and all that. I continued to ignore her until finally she started going into racist slander, suggesting I was a ni**** or a ch*** (I'm sure you can figure those out).
By now I was starting to get annoyed with her, especially because she has now left the realm of roleplaying and entered something far more cruel and unfair. I continued to ignore her until she finally hit upon my proper ethnicity (puerto rican), and when I stupidly reacted to that she continued her insults, though now with a targetted ethnicity. After several minutes of that I finally decided to close my craft window and report her. That's when I noticed something in her title: Novice Commando. "Aha!" I thought, "So she probably just earned that title and is simply baiting me to duel so she can try out her new weapon or something!" Glancing at my own title revealed "Novice Entertainer" and since I had never mastered any classes or bothered much with exploration badges, my bio must've looked very "noob-like."
Her bio revealed some exploration badges, but also no master badges. But what she didn't know is that I have actually almost mastered smuggler and pistoleer, keeping the best trees for myself and using the rest of the skill points from trees like underworldto test out entertainer. Boy would she be in for a surprise! I decided to wait on reporting her or dueling her, prefering to hope that she'll simply leave me alone. Alas, her increasingly mean insults continued to appear, and now several other players walked in to see what the shouting was all about.
I finally had enough and stood up to face her, warning her gently to cease with the verbal slander. As she continued to mock my ethnicity, I was about to accept her duel when suddenly i noticed her health bar disappear and her character puked upon the floor. Recognizing a pixie downer and an opportunity when I see one, I quickly accepted the duel and incapped her with just one shot. As I stood over her body, I stated that she should have listened to me and ceased with her insults when she had the chance. I recieve a tell from her body spewing out one final insult about puerto ricans; I crack my neck and deathblow her. I calmly walked (yes,I said walked; it addsso muchmore style to one's exit after a duel)out of the bar as the other players cheered,called my bike, mounted and sent a final tell to the girl saying how I wasn't going to report her but that she really should be more careful in the future about what spices she takes. I finished with the statement, "Take it from me, kid. I'm a smuggler. It's my job to not be above shooting sick women. Call me if you need a fix."
With that said, I drove off on my speeder bike back to Kaadara, somewhat pleased with myself.
Cut to three days later, when I get a tell from the girl. "Hey, can you sell me a crate of Pixie?"
You talking about just leaving it out when you travel around and thengenerating thevehicle later and its magically back to full health. I know about that and it doesnt always work plus I feel bad/exploiting when it doeshappen on accident. If there is some other non exploiting way then well... Im all ears. I usually dont pay for repairs on my vehicle because it costs more to repair the vehicle than to just buy a new one.
