So, Wednesday, we did another Hamster run. This time, everyone was there and everything! Though Ryme didn’t know we were doing it, so he was in, but didn’t have long. So we rushed in, determined to Hodgekill!<\/p>\n
I made my first mistake in one of these runs, accidentally hitting the shortcut key on a choice adventure to enter the Marketplace, pointlessly wasting a turn. That really frustrated me. I would have been more frustrated if that would have kept us from getting a Hamster! That was the biggest worry when I learned that we didn’t get it. We didn’t go fast enough for a Hamster. But we were over by at least 4 turns, so I was kind of off the hook.
\nApparently, in our efforts to go fast and get poor Ryme to bed, we were wasting a lot of turns opening the Tent that we didn’t need to use. I didn’t really notice, but apparently that was so. If we had gone incredibly slowly, we could have gotten it with time to spare… but, alas…<\/p>\n
Still, the Hamster run can be a very tedious thing, so I actually didn’t mind the rushing. It made it better. Though it was a shame we didn’t get the prize we wanted, we still got the consolation prize, Hodgman’s disgusting technicolor overcoat<\/a>. A solid item in its own right! It would have really helped me out during my basement run.<\/p>\n Then, the unthinkable happened. We rolled for the coat, and I won it.<\/p>\n I hate rolling for anything. I don’t feel like I should be greedy, and it feels greedy, even though I did as much work as anyone else. (Well, okay, Val did much more work because she’s funding everything and farmed all the meat. But everyone else rolling for it? Same amount of work.) At the same time, I do enjoy a bit of phat lewt. And I do deserve nice things. So though I held out, I threw my hat in the ring for the roll at the last second, and somehow came out with the coat. Winning immediately embarrassed me. But I attempted to hold all that back and accept the coat with pride. Yay coat! Still, once I start ascending again, I won’t be able to equip any of it! But still, it’s nice to have. It’s nice to have in-game goals. Yes indeed.<\/p>\n I can’t do a raid next week due to working, but hopefully they can find someone to fill in for me and whatnot. Still, I’m in this until everyone is done. And then I’m totally going to ascend and try out my huge stockpile of goodies I’ve accumulated.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" So, Wednesday, we did another Hamster run.

\nI also managed to, kind of at random, get the last piece of the Hyperborean Hobo Habiliments<\/a>, Frosty’s Old Silk Hat, via a giveaway at the start. So that’s nice too! Yay gear!<\/p>\n
