It was&#8230; not what I expected.<\/p>\n<p>First of all, I had a takedown before it, and I was scrambling the whole time to hurry up and get home and I managed to make myself so nervous and worried about it at work&#8230; I&#8217;m retarded like that. It carried over into the raid itself, where I was pretty nervous and on-edge the entire time. Of course, that made me be careful, and I didn&#8217;t waste a single turn. Still, it was much more stressful than I believed it would be.<\/p>\n<p>Secondly, it took a lot longer. I figured parts of it would be tedious. The whole thing is all about doing repeated actions in unison time and again, and it didn&#8217;t sound like the most fun thing ever. But I only expected it to maybe take an hour. We started around 11, and I didn&#8217;t get to bed until around 2 AM. Hopefully future runs, now that we all know what we&#8217;re doing, will go a little faster.<\/p>\n<p>All in all, I did a lot of work, knocked a lot of hobos out of their skin, and I got, well&#8230; nothing, in return. I didn&#8217;t win any of the rolls. Not that that was important to me. I was just, you know, doing it to be part of the group. And be helpful. Things. Stuff! Yes.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, I guess that&#8217;s one raid down, and what&#8230; 6 left to go? 5? Until we all get a Hamster? Hopefully they keep going well, and faster.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So, after all the planning, all the leveling up, all the nickel grinding, we finally got to do our first Hamster Raid in KoL.
