I just finished grinding the swordsman part of my new bh 3000 pistoleer 0044 Swordsman template so of course i accept. Jedi replies let me get buffed real quick. I say ok and wait. (At this time im still wearing my MBH title which was taken away form me earlier today er)


10 min later jedi shows back up un grouped and fully buffed. i sythsteak vercupti brandy and moun myself to 4k stats. jedi challenges to duel. We begin i pull out my brand new 2.7 268-480 scythe which proceeds to match his 1h saber in mind damage. we duel for a minute and my synthsteak wears of. i manage to land a dizzy on the jedi and use aoe3 to force him to kneel then flop.I incap then db the jedi. Two mintues later heres the conversation.


Jedi: Man why did you db.

This is a beginner's "novice" slicing story.


Customer: Hey can you slice 6 containers for me?


Me: Yep, meet me at the spaceport.


Customer: Here they are. They should be good.


Me: (Slice all 6 successfully and hand them back to him)


Customer: Here's 12k for your work. Thanks for using the clamps and I know it costs to use em.


Me: Clamps? What clamps? I thought I was supposed to cut the red and the blue.


Customer: (Laughs) Yeah, clamps give you 100% success when you slice. Can I have my 12k back then? (smirks)


Me: Wow I didn't know that! Hey I need it to buy clamps!


Customer: (laughs) Keep it.


Me: (thinks the customer may be braindead and goes to open the next 6 of my own boxes and I fail everyone)


.. So I bought some clamps.



Fix Jedi.. please.

A guildmember is grinding (gag) smuggler and ask me(only master smuggler in the guild, and have beenfor as long as Ive played SWG)if I could make him some clamps. Im a nice guy, and tell him to meet me by my factory and I'd hook him up with enough to master slicing and so the fun began...


Me: So how much xp do you have now?


Guildie: 1500 slicing xp


Me: Alright...(calculator)...you need a total of 354 clamps to finish out slicing


Guildie: Yea, but thats only if all of them worked, right?


Me: What are you talking about?


Guildie: You know, they dont work all the time.


Me: No, they are 100% accurate in telling you which wire to cut, maybe you mean FANs?


Guildie: No, Ive been using clamps, but I fail about as often as I succeed


Me: You must be doing something wrong, you should always attach the clamp first before you do anything else


Guildie: Yea, Ive been doing that


Me: and you've cut the wire it tells you to in the info screen?


Guildie: Info screen


Me: (after a moment of sheer baffledness) Yea, just above your slicing choices, there is an info panel


Guildie: Oh


Me: just look there after you attach the clamp, and it will tell you which color to slice


Guildie: and then?


Me: you do what it says, and its says. Its 100% accurate


Me: If it still doesnt work, you need to stop what you are doing, and contact me, or another Master Smuggler


Guildie: Are you sure?


Guildie: Oh, and what about spices?


Me: /backhand

HAH! Thats what he gets for walking around town in Jedi robes challenging people. If he's in town, he should be wearing regular clothes and NOT annoucing he's a Jedi, much less challenging Bounty Hunters!

Then again, times change and it seems our Star Wars galaxy has evolved. We must adapt or...

In any case, good work. That'll teach him for getting a revamp!

Anyways these players looked rather noobish cause none of them had bikes, rather weak weapons and sub par clothing.


I hop off my bike and say "so who's gonna take the first shot"

the humanslaughed while the twilek just looked on in silence.

Human #1keeps running in between the ST'ssoI go "why don't you /slap a trooper, he wont know the difference"



/slap he's immeediately incapped, 8k fine and I'm dieing laughin


the twilek steps up and goes what happened?

I go your friend slapped a ST!

The twilek goes to /hug the trooper and is fined 3k




LMAO! This same type of incident happened to me and a friend of mine while on Yavin IV. We saw a couple of marooned Imperial pilots, and me being a somewhat roleplaying Imperial, I went up to salute the officer. He immediately fined me 3,000 credits and 20 Imperial faction points, and another 1,000 just because he felt like it. I was ticked (what did Ido?!),so I puked on him. I was fined3,600 credits and another20 faction points. I then burst ran away.


My friend, being a twi'lek, saw another batch of stranded pilots, so he ran up and puked on the officer. He was fined 8,000 credits, and was incapacitated inthe mind. I was almost outta my chair laughing after this, it was so funny. After that, the officer said something along the lines of "One day, the Empire won't have to deal with the stupidity of Twi'leks." So...freaking...hilarious....

Now, today I had an incdent that inspired me to make my first forum post in this, the Mecca of Slightly Funny-to-Hilarious stories. This isn't a Smuggler story, but as I'm training to be one, and the other person is one, I figured this is the place to post it. This is the first bad apple I've met on Sunrunner as well.

So I'm in Bestine, having just logged in. I'm going to the bank to get my armor out of storage when I hear the Stormies cracking down on a Smuggler, who's protesting like crazy. I go over there to poke a little fun at him, since I've never really met a jerk on this server. It goes a little like this.

"Attention citizen" Blah blah blah.
Vyyk Salan says "I have nothing on me!"
"I swear!" Vyyk Salan says.
"I'm clean!" Vyyk Salan says.

Now, since the Imps catch him, he isn't good at hiding his illegal wares. All it takes is a backpack, buddy.

"Son, you should know better than that," Corrino Veicic [that's me] says.
Vyyk Salan says "No sir! You've got it all wrong!"
Corrino Veicic says "Being a smuggler and all."
Vyyk Salan says "She tricked me!"

Now I'm wondering who "she" is. It can't be me, seeing as how I'm a man, so I listen on.

"She put the spice in my bag" Vyyk Salan says.
"Arrest her!" Vyyk Salan says.
"I am right powerful ashamed." I say.
Vyyk Salan slaps you across the face.
You raise an eyebrow at him. What is he up to?
Vyyk Salan says "Get out of my face, Rebel."

Now I'm getting upset. The slap I understand, I was messing around with him. The "Rebel" talk is what got me.

"I'm neutral, darn it!" I say [I wouldn have sworn, but I wasn't that upset]
"Why can't people understand that?" I say [because I get this all the time on Intrepid where I'm an entertainer with no combat skills]
"Oh, Rebel supporter, eh?" Vyyk Salan says.
"No."
"Watch your mouth." Vyyk Salan says. [Que?]
The payment of your fine has been received. - So on and so forth
"I have more Imp faction than Rebel." I say
Ghrek Ke'lok [bystander] chuckles at Vyyk Salan
"The onyl reason I have Rebel exp is because of the missions." I say.
"Stay out of my face or you'll end up on the wrong side of a blaster!" Vyyk Salan says.

That sets off the "roleplayer" alarm in my head. So I think, okay, now I've got to get out of this as quickly as possible. However, I was already typing something else.

"In that Wookie Brawler missions are fun to kill."
"Therefore, you good sir, are an idiot." I say, because I'm trying to leave whilst getting him to realize the errors of his ways. And because I'm an **edit**hole.
Vyyk Salan spits at you.
[Unperturbed, I continue to leave with dignity.] "I bid you good day." I say
"Get out of my sight, Rebel." [Isn't that what I was trying to do?]
You bow to Vyyk Salan
Ghrek Ke'lok tries to calm Vyyk Salan down.
[I then turn to Ghrek, as Vyyk refuses to listen.]
"Why can't they understand that I'm neutral?" I say
Vyyk says "Just a terrorist allowed to walk down the street."
Vyyk says "You're lucky I'm off duty, scum."
"I'm not a Rebel."
"I better not see you again." Vyyk says.
"The only reason I have Rebel exp is to balance out the factions." I say [still talking to Ghrek]
"But morons like him don't seem to understand it." I say

So Ghrek drives off, probably not listening to me on my soapbox, when Vyyk says.
"I'm getting sick of you, learn to roleplay newb."

Now I'm pissed. I've been playing since last July and I am by no means a "newb". This guy who was spamming comes over to me.

"WHAT WAS WITH THAT GUY?" Wowik says [his caps lock was still on from spamming I guess]
"he seemed a little... uneasy." Wowik says.
You tell Vyyk "I've been playing since last July, so I do know how to roleplay. I can't be expected to in the face of glaring idiocy, however."
"From where I was standing at least." Wowik says.
"He's a little too into roleplay." I say.
Vyyk tells you "welcome to my ignore list AND you have been reported." [For what? Being neutral? or for shutting down his little roleplay fantasy?]
You tell Vyyk "Reported? For what?"
You tell Vyyk "You being a roleplayer and not understanding why others aren't?"
You tell Vyyk "I hope the CSRs laugh in your face."

Now, I hope he reads this to try to correct any mistakes. I might have been rude in mocking his capture, but it certainly didn't need a response like beign spat upon and called scum, even if he is a roleplayer.I want him to share his side of the story, and I want him to know that you never escape the wrath of the Purple (soon to be a)Smuggler. Although I wouldn't qualify this as "wrath". Yeah, I don't even know why I'm posting. Meh.

I should be a smuggler right now. I'm not, coz the damned lightning took out my phone, network and computer. Its frelled up my graphics card, so now I can't play Galaxies. But this was funny, so I thought I'd post it.

Everyone does this. You get bored. You find a n00b. You talk, get him to slap a few Stormtroopers, etc. Funny. Or so I thought. But this just got...weird. The guy got his "slapping STs" fine. He grumbled a bit. I laughed, and I actually gave him the money from his fines back. He still grumbled, and challenged me to a duel. So I accepted...thought I might as well get a little unarmed XP. I get knocked flat on my ass. I'm thinking **edit**? I get back up, F2 him, and his health hardly moves. I get really confused. Then I die.

I tell the guy, trying to find out how he beat me. Turns out his brother plays the game...well, played. He got bored with it, and gave his character to his little bro. When he said he'd only been playing for a week, he was telling the truth. He just neglected to mention the fact that his brother had been playing for 3 months, made TKM and Master Rifleman. All the n00b did was use his best TKM move on poor, armourless, me. (This was a few weeks ago...don't you come gangin' up on me now) And, just to rub it in, do you know what he did? Gave me back the money I'd given him to cover the fines.

I'd go kill him, except that I deleted the character I fought him with...didn't wanna play a Rebel in that server. And I've forgotten who he was. So, Mr Knockmeonmyass, if you're out there...come on Chilastra. I'll be waitin'.

Part of his story is true, but it's a bias story, obviously. I should be the one posting it, thats why I came here and I saw that and I just laughed. Allow me to tell what happened, I think you Smugglers are going to love this.


I am talking with a women tailor. I'm a smuggler and have quite a large amount of spices on me and sliced weapons. Well, storm troopers and an officer come over and search me for illegal contraband. Of course Sunrunner is one of the unoffical roleplaying servers and I dont care if people do not roleplay, just do not ruin someone eles'... just like this guy decided to do because he doesn't understand roleplaying.


So they start searching me.


Vyyk: Nothing on me, Sir, I swear! I'm clean!


Message comes up, you have failed to avoid the scan. We have found contraband, etc... And then this guy comes over, not sure if he's a kid or just really immature.


Now since I was beside this tailor I decided to continue roleplaying and to blame her.


Vyyk: No, Sir! You got it all wrong. She tricked me, she put this spice in my back pack. Arrest her!


And then the kid comes over and ruins my RP.


Corrin: son, you should know better than that


Corrin: being a smuggler and all


So I'm thinking, alright, he's roleplaying, cool.


Corrin: i am right powerful ashamed.


I noticed he was not Imperial as I am so I played my role.


Vyyk:Get out of my face, Rebel.


Corrin: i'm neutral damn't


So now I'm not sure if he is roleplaying. I send him a /tell and tell him I am roleplaying. No reply.


Vyyk: Rebel supporter, eh? Watch your mouth!


Corrin: no


I pay my fine. And this tailor sends me a tell and says, "What a jerk! Just ignore him, he doesn't know how to roleplay," And a few people are laughing at him.


Corrin: i have more Imperial exp than Rebel


Corrin: the only reason I have Reb exp is for the missions


So I'm sick of this jerk now. But I continue to RP.. trust me, this is one of the worst kids running around on our server... he makes Sunrunner look bad.


Corrin: in that Wookie brawlers are fun to kill


Vyyk: Stay out of my face or you may end up on the wrong side of the blaster.


Corrin: your an idiot


Vyyk: Out of my sight, Rebel.


Corrin: why can't they understand neutrality?


Vyyk: Just a terroist allowed to walk in the streets. Lucky I am off duty. I better not see you again.


Corrin: i'm not Rebel


Corrin: the only reason I have Rebel exp is to balance it out.


Corrin: but morons like him don't understand it.


At this point, I got tired and was done with the little guy. I sent him a tell saying I was roleplaying. And he said he didn't RP with idiots. Heh.. right. So I told him to have fun on my ignore list. /addignore Corrin. And I walked away. Then I get some tells from the crowd: "I like how you handled that. Good job. Just ignore him." Where some of the messages I had.


Point is, learn to roleplay or shut up and don't be an a$$ because it will get you no where. Dont want to RP? Use /tell and tell someone that.


Hope you've guys had a good laugh at this, I know you roleplayers will.










Wanted: Someone to go back in time with me...This is not a joke...You'll get paid after we get back. Must bring your own weapons...Safety is not Guranteed...I have only done this once before...

Son, I understand roleplaying quite well. I didn't intentionally set out to ruin your RP experience. I have the whole thing on screenshot and you never sent me a tell saying you were role playing. And I also didn't see people laughing, unless the whole two people around us were doing it in tells. And since you'd never even heard of me before today, how can you know if I'm a bad person who makes the server look bad? For that matter, how do you know if I'm a kid or immature? Like I said, I was just joking around with you at the start. I tried to leave, and you spat upon me. There version you posted was only partially accurate. I posted mine from the screenshots I took. If you have any, I'd love to see them, as I'm sure they'd illuminate where the tell about RPing went to. If you'd like to continue this, or show the screens, I'm at [email protected], feel free to elaborate.

me: No!!!


n00b: oh alright well i'll let you open it...


me: there is a guy over there who is opening locked containers for FREE!!!!!

So I am leaving Lok, waiting for the shuttle, I just finished a FP sale so am overt, but unbuffed. I am standing around with my 400 Health and Action waiting for shuttle to Theed. There are other overt imperials around. With about 5 minutes remaining for shuttle arrival an overt rebel strolls up, and says in spatial that he is just trying to catch the shuttle. All the overt imperials are as well so everyone is cool.


We all peacefully co-exist until about 1.5 minutes before the shuttle arrives. Then another overt rebel arrives at the starport. He goes and buys a ticket and then is walking around among the group waiting. I figure OK no problem he is just shuttling too. Well, I guess when he noticed I had no armor or buffs, that was just too much for him, so he attacks. Unfortunatley for him, I run a feign death looping macro while waiting at starports in this state.


I feign death and then begin to get tells from him saying that is not fun etc... I reply with neither is fighting buffed, armored opponents in the state I am in. He decides to go ahead and catch the shuttle, but of course can not because he is stuck in combat with me. He sends a tell asking me to peace. I reply with "Can't I am FD"


Now being the "good sport" that he is he tells me if I "stand and peace he won't kill me this time". I send him a tell "That's OK, I'll do it after the shuttle leaves." This seemed to upset him. Once the shuttle left he barraged me with hate tells and began to beat on my prone form. After a minute or two he stops as his mind was next to nothing. He walks away a few meters and appears to start browsing the bazaar.


At this point, my Health and Action have regenrated to about 10, so i stand and quickly use a pixie. A single eyeshot incaps him, followed by a single Last ditch to destroy his swoop. Then a deathblow.


So that "easy" kill he was looking for earned him an extra 10 minute shuttle wait, a swoop, wounds, and BF.


The moral of the story is...sometimes you just have to leave well enough alone, and when you decide not to...don't turn your back on a smuggler.
