Ok, let's go...

By your rules, you can't beat that. I win!

I've gotten a great laugh reading over these stories. I've been a Master Smuggler for a while now, and I have just one question I've wondered since I grinded my way up here. Why are there power systems and wires in knives? I've tried to find one in my kitchen knife, but they have hidden it well. : )

Are you a smuggler in RL?You'll need to start grinding your pistol and unarmed skills. I recommend killing squirrels in your neighborhood for experience.

Then you'll be able to make your various kitchen utensils more effective (or at least be able to prepare dinner 10-35% faster).

I meet all the morons.

On Eclipse, I have a few Entertainer skills picked up as my extras, so I can heal my own mind wounds and battle fatigue. It's also great when we're out in the wild in a camp, because so few people have them. Anyhow, I went to play in an awfully deserted Cantina on Talus the other night, only a few people. Someone was already there with a new character (still had on the default entertainer clothes). So I set up and start tooting away on my Fanfar when I am suddenly engaged in the most absurd /tells of my life.

Newb: hey r u entertainer?

Me: Sure am.

Newb: iz dancing broken right now???

Me: I don't know. I don't have dancing, I have music skills. But as far as I know, it's fine.

Newb: this sux ive been dancing for like half an hour and i didnt make any xp

Me: Well, if no one is watching you, you won't make healing XP, you you should make dance XP either way. Are you sure?

Newb: yes im sure! i would know if i made xp! duh!

Me: Okay, sorry, just trying to be helpful.

Newb: uh huh whatever.

The dancer then proceded to stand up and start dancing again. I sat there, stunned in front of my computer screen when I saw what he was doing. I considered explaining to him that you don't make any XP off of the /dance emote. . . but I decided I had better things to do, like go chew on some glass or pee on an electric socket.

Can't we put an IQ test on the front-end of these games? Seriously?

HAHAHAHA

Yep, that's a common one. That is why I don't put that tag up. It would be funny, though.

I got Fanshot last night. I'm sooooo happy!

Okies, so this isn't exactly a funny, because I only started wearing my Slicer tag two days ago, but my very first public customer was SO great to me, I had to post it. AND because when I'm done and I point out my own stupid mistake, you all can laugh at me.

This is posted from memory.My thoughts are in << >>.

I'm in Theed, and I'm JUST about to log, and just as I sit down I get a tell:

Him: Hey, can u slice a few things for me?

Me: <<oh no. (I've seen this guys name before - not anything bad, but I know he's a PvP d00d. I brace myself.)>> Sure. I'm in the Theed starport, next to the fountain.

Him: ok

A minute or two passes. He shows up....overt Imp. Uh oh. Before I can say anything...

Him: let me go die. i'll brb in a few minutes.

Meanwhile, I'm getting antsy - I really had to log. Five minutes later, he comes back.

Him: ok. here u go.

He hands me five pieces of REALLY nice, probably incredibly expensive composite armor. Oh no...

Me: Okay. Now you do realize I'm not a master, and while I won't fail, it may not be as good as you're hoping.

Him: ur a slicer, that's all that matters. =)

Me: <<prays>> Okay. Here goes.

And, lo and behold, I produce two 30% encumbrance slices, one 32% encumbrance, a 19% encumbrance and a 16% effectiveness slice. NOT bad, for my first public slice, since all of the slices I've done for my OWN gear have turned out lower than 20%. =(

The whole time, even on the sub-20's, this guy is cheering for EVERY SLICE. Not once did he complain about the type of slice, or the quality on some of the low ones.

I pass him his gear back, and he says to me "A master couldn't have done it better. =) "

Now, I know that's a bit untrue, but it still gives me a warm fuzzy feeling. =)

Now comes the part you can laugh at me for. Math is not my strong suit. I add up a total of 127 percentage points increased on his stuff, and he asks me how much he owes, and I say "Well, at the standard 100c per % increased, it comes to 127000c, but since you're my first ever public slice, you can pay whatever you want. =)"

The last part isn't the smack-me part. The smack-me part is the price.

Oops.

He pays me 130,000c credits and leaves happy.

That night it hits me - I accidentally put an extra zero on the end of that. <blushes>

So now I have to ask myself, do I do the good thing and contact the guy and tell him - or do I do the smuggler thing and keep the cash, and say it's his own fault for not realizing I'm a lousy multiplier? =)

I think I'm a smuggler. =)

LMAO, i did the EXACT same thing with my first few public slicings. wound up charging 1000 credits per percent instead of 100.....i felt so stupid afterwards, but not a single customer complained.....
