This is kind of amusing. It happened to me the other day in AH. I was in a huge gtef fight in a reb group fighjting a bunch of imps, and we were all unbuffed and everybody was dieing a ton (i was running out of the clone center spamming last ditch until me or one of the impsgot incapped) . So i was fighting this one guy and right after i killed him and was incapped and DBed by some other guy in his group we are both in the cloning center and he sends me a tell asking to slice his weapon for him right after i killed him not 10 seconds before.

These are awesome and I can relate to most of them. I have quite a few myself, but let me share these;

I was shutteling through Coronet one day and had my Master Smuggler Title up (Ya, I know, pretty stupid, I keep forgetting it) While waiting in line for the shuttle anohter Master Smuggler walks up. We nod to each other and continue waiting for the shuttle. All of a sudden a guy runs up yelling, "CAN ANYONE SLICE A WEAPON FOR ME?" Two Master Smugglers standing there and he shouts it 3 or 4 times. He finally looks are me and asks if I can slice for him. I go, "Sorry, I just put the title on for fun, I can't really slice." He complains about me being a fraud and turns to the other gut and asks if he can slice. He goes, "Sorry, I'm a Master Smuggler. You need to find someone with a slicing title." a which point the guy runs off while most of the people are laughing so hard the almost forget to board the shuttle.

Then the other night:

I was hunting at thr Mining Outpost on Dantooine.

Guy: "Can you slice something for me?"

Me: "Sure, I charge 4k per slice."

*we trade, he give me a baton to slice*

Me: "Well it seems the slicing gods love you 41% damage." (One of the best slices I've ever had)

*we trade back and he pays*

Guy: "Well that sucks, can't you do any better?"

By Stander: "Hey if you don't want it I'll give you 10k for it."

Guy: "Deal, then I can get another one and get a real smuggler to slice it."

*IT WAS AN ACKLEY!*

- I support the CURB, the Devs and the attempt to make SWG a better game! - You can too!


- I support the Smuggler revamp. Let us smuggle!

"NEVER ask me what kind of slice you want. The slicing gods are listening, and the slicing gods are mean."

Ever since I got Slicer I've had to spam this 5 times upon hearing "Can you slice my weapon?" When I don't spam the person yells "GET SPEED!" and gets a crappy@$$ damage slice.

You have just wasted 8:23:47 minute(s) reading this post....Damn you're a slow reader.

Nope, In the 3 months I've been a master I've had about 5 slices over 40. The best being a 44. Don't ask me how, but it does occasionally happen. (and no I refuse to use any exploits.)

this is more of a "suicide for the smuggler"

I was at an ID tent getting my stats changed, when I got a tell from someone looking to borrow money. I had about an 8 min wait and saw it as anopportunity to RP, here is how it went.

them - Can I borrow 6K for training?

me - I don't think you can afford the interest.

them - Interest?

me - Don't act inocent with me, I've seen the galaxy and I know it doesn't come for free.

then - it's ok sum else loaned me interest free.

me - There's no such thing as a free ride. I'd watch my back if I were you. There seems to be more and more Bounty Hunters these days looking to make a repoutation off of someone else's misfortune.

(pause)

them - WIll bounty hunters hunt me?

me - For the right price they'll hunt anyone, they are scummier than the southside of a Dewback!

I never got a reply after that, so either they are lurking in fear of a BH busting in and laying the smack down or asked the person who they borrowed the credits from if they'd send a BH after them. As if a Smuggeler would borrow money to anyone.

wow, that was a lot of posts to read, but finally at the end. don't know if I should be happy or sad lol. Well my stories aren't near as good as most of these but i'll add them anyways.

The first happened before I actually became a smuggler, I had just reached novice swordsman and was running to meet a friend in eisley when low and behold some guy come sup to me and says asks me if I have a sword. First thing I thought was this is just another person wanting a handout but I felt nice and replied saying yes low and behold a trade window pops up. i'm about to hit cancel because he never even asked if he could have or buy one when he suddenly puts a locked container in trade window, confused and puzzled I ask him "what's this for?" and he replies "you're a swordsman, use your sword to slice this thing open and gimme what's inside" at this I really didn't know if I should cry or start laughing at this poor guy. But instead I did the nice thing and directed him towards a smuggler.

The second one isn't quite funny but is more of a nice change of pace. Today I was slicing weapons on bria in eisley, had just hit slicing 2 (yay), and a player sends me a tell obviously knowing nothing about slicing (that's ok it happens a lot and i've learned to have patience for them if anything else), so I explain to him how the whole slicing ordeal works, quote my prices and then realize afterwords I forgot to explicitly explain that 100cr per % could equal over 2000 credits easy, so anyways I slice his weapon and it comes out with a 19% speed, not the best slice but pretty good for level 2 slicing, So now comes time for payment and he replies with a "I thought it was 100 credits per slice" so I read back and notice that I had stated a price but didn't dumb it down entirely (I guess I thought some people in this world could still read and do math), I had considered being a hardass as soon as he asked if he could pay me later. but I was in a really nice mood and felt kinda bad since he obviously was a newbie (he was getting me to slice his d18 heh) and at this point I had enough credits on me to cover my next clamp and WUK purchase, so I told him not to worry he can have his gun back and pay me at a later time. Well low and behold my jaw dropped when he shows up about an hour later and actually pays me with interest. This definately went down as one of those once in a lifetime things and I promised him half priced slicing in the future just for being so honest. Is definately nice to see there's still a few honest folks kicking around in the mmorpg world, I just wish more people could learn from it.
