Okay...this is insane.
I'm a Ranger, going Smuggler on one of my characters on a different server (actually, the plan is to make a Master Doctor, and then have him start selling some of his meds on the side, until he becomes a full-blown addict and has to become a smuggler to pay off his debts)
anyway...
this is hilarious.
I wasted good amounts of sleep (6am to 8am to be specific) reading this.
all I can say is that if any smugglers are on eclipse, I'm a very loyal customer. I have never failed to pay a smuggler less than 5k for a weapons slice, and I pay 10k anything over 25%. why not. you guys need to make a living too.
anyway, any smugglers need anything, you're all in my good book just because of this thread. I suppose I should thank you for stickying it...but I did lose 2 hours of valuable sleep.

Okay, I'm another long-time reader and first-time poster. I have been lurking in this thread since the beginning, and I must agree with many people on here that it's the most entertaining thread in the entire forum. I mastered Smuggler last week, and if I ever have to drop any of my other professions, Smuggler would not be it. It's the only profession I'm set to keep for as long as I play the game. Anyway,so far the few customers that Isliced forhave been very nice. Although, I'm sure it's only a matter of time before I have some horror slicing stories of my own. For now, here's what happened to me a couple of days ago - it's not exactly smuggling-related, but I thought it was somewhat amusing.
I just came back to Naboo from Tatooine, where I did the Jabba's Palace themepark missions. I still had about an hour and a half left on my buffs (I know, I didn't really need buffs to do Jabba's missions, but oh well...) So, my friend from the guild asks me if I can tumble for him (he's working on Medic). I said sure, but I need to get rid of my buffs first. I could either wait an hour, or find somebody to duel and kill me. Well, it sounds easy enough, but you'd be surprised! First, we tried to see if my friend could kill me, but he's only a Novice TKA and he was unbuffed, so obviously it wasn't going to work. So, both my friend and I go to Theed. Westand in front of the starport, and I start shouting that I'm looking for someone who can kill me, so that I can lose my buffs. There aren't too many people around (it was late at night), but the ones who were there seemed to ignore my shouts.
Then, a wookie Master Commando appears right in front of me. I figure a Commando could definitely kick my ass, so I send him a tell.
Me: Hi, could you please kill me so that I can lose my buffs?
A long pause, then...
Wookie: Sorry, I'm not falling for that again.
Me: What are you talking about?
Wookie: I already got burned by that before, sorry.
Wookie runs off to the ticket terminal.
I stand there, dumbfounded. Okay...
There is a Master Pistoleer standing not too far. I start walking up to him, and he promptly runs off into the starport before I can come close to talk to him.
Then I realize that my Master Smuggler tag is up. Well, that explains it - nobody trusts a Smuggler!

I have dropped, regained, then dropped and then regained smuggler several times now. I remember this from the first time I got smuggler, at 0/1/0/4.
Me: /shout Slicing locked containers, free spice with every slice, you keep contents!
RandomWookie: /tell me hey i have 3 containers 4 u to slice
Me: Ok, I'm at the AH cantina
He gives me the containers, and I slice them and have only one failure. I give him them back.
Me: There was only one failure, here's all the containers back.
RandomWookie: WTH u stole the things in the last container and switched it out 4 a locked 1
Me: No, I didn't, because for one I wouldn't steal from customers, and two, I would've sliced that locked one already if I was working on slicing exp.
The wookie keeps yelling at me about it, and I just add him to my ignore list. Remembered this from about a year ago, lol.

This just happenned to me a few days ago. My first post ever in this wonderfull thread!
I was wacking stormtroopers for 3 hours now when my buffs started fading, me so cought in the action that i forgot to monitor them. as soon as the first buff fades, i down a pixi and run off to the closest shuttle to get rebuffed. traveler's bad luck, shuttle departs without me as i purchase my ticket. 5 minutes wait...
5 minutes later, shuttle comes back and i can take my flight to coronet. time world loads, downer hits me and i find myself puking around.
me : darn space travels! they always make me sick
me : (pukes)

and another one!
I like running around with my slicer title up. Extra incomes are always welcomed.
I was heading that same spot to waste stormtrooper again and the place was nerfed. I find out a free spot and start kicking them hard with my pistol when this pikeman comes up and starts waking them in mellee. the place is known for good xp and fair loots so i get really anoyed seeing my share melting down. I sit down and watch the guy killing the last of them. When he's done, I /clap for him. he then sends me a tell.
pikeman : I know you must be very pissed but i've been here all day. just had to go blablabla... came back to finish up my buffs
at this point, i run off to another spot and start waking STs again.
a few minutes later, he sends me another tell
pikeman : What slice level are you?
Me: Level 4
pikeman : can you slice something for me?
Me : I'm currently fighting
Never eared of him again.
Moral of this story : don't piss of the smuggler you want slices from

Ok, one more story...
I'm waiting in line in Coronet for Buffs, suddenly the guy behind me walked right through me, trying to cut the line.
Me: Hey buddy, would you please return to your place in line?
Guy: This is my place.
Guy2&3: No, it isn't.
Me: You're trying to cheat a smuggler, eh?
Guy: What would you do about it?
Guy challenges you to a duel.
Guy pulls out a vibro lance.
*Big fault here, I'm the king of unbuffed duels
Me runs 15m away from the line, accepts duel pulls out Scatter (well I'm Desperado too)
Eyeshot for 300 dmg
Eyeshot for 400 dmg
Eyeshot for 300 dmg
*Oh, Guy had only 600 health, well one Last Ditch should have done it too, nvm
Me: Oh well, maybe now he'll learn
/db
Guy2: /clap
Guy3: /cheer
Guy tells you: What was that?
/reply "You just got the honor of being shot at with my Krayt Scatter with Eyeshots at speedcap. Watch who you're dueling!"
The Doc gave me a 5k discount because he had a good laugh out of it too

Ok, so i haven't really added much to the content yet, but will at this point. Here's my story.
Background: Just mastered smuggler and sporting the title proudly, now working on pistoleer=xx33. Enter newb.
newb: Duel me. challanges me to duel.
me: I'm not in the mood today, kid.
newb spews out insults of avulger naturewhich i'll not repeat.
me: listen kid, im in a good mood, which i won't let you spoil, and secondly, you have no hope in hades of winning.
newb: so why you afraid of dueling me?
me: never said i was afraid, just don't feel like wasting the time.
newb: your no smuggler... probly some n3wb wanting to look kewl.
me: yep, you're absolutely right.
Pulls out my favorite fwg5 1.4 spd.
accepts the challange and offers the following equation:
/lowblow
/sapshot2
+/lastditch
one incapped newb
Didn't deathblow, just stood over him till he came to again.
newb: thought you said you weren't a smuggler. Hey,will you slice my pistol?
