Do you... * Smile and comment on how cute her children are. * Ignore the situation and continue on your path to check out just to get out of there. * Comment to the Mom about how you almost ran over two of her FOUR children before continuing your goal of checking out.

The cheater barely makes any effort in class and the teacher knows this, in fact, the whole class knows this. She never does any of her homework either. Clearly she doesn't care about this class. While she's generally a nice lady and she hasn't been mean to you at all, you feel that she has taken advantage of the system and you want to take steps to stop her cheating ways. Do you - * Come along side her and offer to help her study thereby eliminating her need to cheat and helping to give her confidence to pass the tests on her own? * Do nothing at all? It's none of your business and the teacher probably knows that she's been cheating since she doesn't understand any of the concepts in class discussions and never does the homework. * Completely throw her under the bus? Just because you can cheat, doesn't mean you should and it's unfair to the people she's cheating off of since they do most of the work. Besides, your teacher does seem rather oblivious at times. There may be a chance the teacher doesn't know at all. Want your guild highlighted?   Drop us an email at:   corellianrun@gmail.com Thank you, EVERYONE, for listening!

Though there have been no major problems, the tank is constantly demanding instant debuff cleansing and faster heals but unwilling to slow down when pulling mobs. It gets to the point where they are calling you the "worst healer in the game" even though you've asked repeatedly for them to slow down. Even though you're doing a great job, the two other members of your PUG, don't speak up to support you and one of them even complains about a slow heal they've received. Suddenly, the tank pulls a few too many mobs to handle easily. Do you: * Heal everybody like a pro, sacrificing yourself in the process to show them how good you really are. * Just do what you can and if there's a wipe, blame the tank. * Port out asap the minute he pulls and let the bitches die.

At first you get a bit perturbed but toss it off as nothing and get over it. Later, while shopping you see that she is being especially rude to the clerks that are trying to help her, belittling them and just being plain rude. After you finish your shopping foray, you drive down the street to see the 'Princess' stuck on the side of the road with a flat tire.  You: * Stop and lend a hand because not only does this act of kindness reflect better on you but it may help her extend the hand of kindness to another. * Smirk to yourself as you drive by knowing that the bitch likely has auto insurance to help her get that tire fixed. * Roll down your window and point at her whilst cackling mercilessly until she cries.

The ride is about three hours long. Near you are seated three bratty children and their completely inattentive parents. The brats are loud, they throw food and they bully your own kids. At some point the mom leans over and asks you, "What stop did they say this was?"  Do you: * Knowing that her stop isn't for some time, you tell her the truth about what stop is coming up. * Tell her, "I'm sorry, I couldn't hear it over the sound of your child screaming." * Again, knowing that her stop isn't for some time, lie to her saying, "Yes, this is absolutely your stop allow me help you with your bags."   COMMUNITY BUZZ: Ilum Woes: http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?p=2653452#edit2653452 http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=278701 http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=286019   Remember guilds, if you are interested in being highlighted, please contact Jason at corellianrun@gmail.com Thanks from Corellian Run Radio!
