Grumpy heard all about this Jedi thing over the weekend. He was fishing and happily ignoring all the stupid tells from punk architects asking what parts and what quantities go into a heavy mineral miner and if he could just whip up a dozen schematics for them that would be just greeeeeat, mmmmk?
Naturally, there were a dozen emergencies at the shops and his factory was spitting out pebbles at the passersby, but nothing was as exciting! as the buzz! in shop channel over the new jedis!
After reading up on Speculation #45938 over how to open that Force Sensitive Slot, Grumpy believes the basic conclusion so far is…Never log off. In fact, during server reset times, the player should troll the boards to catch up on Spec45022 thru Spec45937 to determine which elite profession he/she should master again.
Grumpy thinks this is BS. Luke was a farmer for crissakes. Anakin was handy with a wrench. Apparently Yoda was a bum because Grumpy doesn’t remember anyone ever mentioning Yoda’s previous employment. These are all things that Grumpy excels at ALREADY! Grumpy farms ore (that’s “pharm” for the phonix readers), Grumpy tries to manipulate his factory into working, Grumpy spends a lot of time at the beach fishing.
Grumpy doesn’t know that much about Obi-Wan other than by Episode 3 he fancies himself somewhat like Gandalf from LOTR. Before and after death. Grumpy does hang out in a Tatooine house with torches alot and mutters to himself, this should be sufficient in his opinion to qualify for the Obi-Wan tree of the FS profession.
That Darth Maul guy seems like he used to be Satan before he got recruited to learn the jedi voodoo; Grumpy thinks probably Darth was disappointed to find out the pay wasn’t as good as it was being The Dark Lord. Grumpy’s not willing to buy people’s souls to become force sensitive, but he is willing to make their lives miserable if they bother him with stupid requests in tells.
Grumpy thinks if becoming force sensitive were at all reliant on putting the absolute least effort and thought into it, he might qualify on that alone! Luke couldn’t have cared less about becoming a jedi until the Jedis tipped off the Empire on where to find his aunt and uncle. Conspiracy theories are fun.
If there was some good profit margins in becoming a Jedi, Grumpy might be more interested. Grumpy thinks it would be hard to run his stores if The Force kept getting him killed. Although it would be handy to Force his customers to buy out his vendors. Grumpy wouldn’t have a problem with using his super powers for profit instead of good.
Grumpy’s not sure he believes in all this jedi-holocron OurGameIsImmersiveAsH*LL bs, but if there’s a steady paycheck involved, he’ll believe anything the Force tells him to believe.
