Hello My Fellow Smugglers,
I live in central jersey and couldn't pass up the opportunity to meet the lengendary Tiggs who is widely dug here in the smuggler forum. So I journeyed down that day and had a great time meeting her and the other players that showed up. Out of about a dozen people, 3 smugglers... and not respec ones either. We talked about the joys of mezzes that break on damage and findind anything with the descriptive "delicate" in the stomach of a Krayt. I begged for things like proton rifles, veteran rewards and of course Smuggling (yes big "S"). Due to the unending coolness of Tiggs I got a free copy of the total experience (read Barc speeder for my main)! Woohoo I said a new car for some (S)smuggling. So I left for the evening having quite enjoyed myself and looking forward to managing to own a Barc without cheating some poor newb....
And then fate stepped in and got me a new car in real life too in the form of a young girl who apparently didn't notice a red light. Some loud noises and gravity shifting 90 degrees later, my car was flipped up onto the driver's side and obviously totaled. Fortunately I walked away from it uninjured and the same goes for the other driver. Made for an exciting 4 or 5 seconds. The insurrance company will be looking at it on Tuesday, I sure hope they give me a fortune for it. So looking back at the chain of events it was easy to conclude that Tiggs got me a new car!
Not having a car I went back to the gathering and was driven home by a fellow player named "Joe" that was truly great to help me out.
So that was my Friday night... I'd like to thank Tiggs for having the gathering on her vacation. Was lots of fun right up to the loud noise and the gravity shifting part. Then after that it went back to the fun as I was able to drink some liquor no longer driving myself home.
Thanks for the new car Tiggs... and the Barc for that matter (I drove it around today!).

Sorry about what happened.
At a moment like that I would love to open my datapad and pull out my slow but trustworthy Dewback and climb up and gallop into the sunset.
Yeah... I'm tired.

I was kind of wondering the same thing? I wonder if the Smugglers at that gathering wondered enough to ASK? And hound her for an answer.
Come visit Seattle Tiggs....

As far as Smuggling is concerned all Tiggs could/would tell is us what we already knew. That smuggling missions were coming and without a solid eta as of yet. I did ask....

That word... "soon".... I think it's the Dev term for "never".
