To answer your question is was the greatest live raid we could have asked for.
GM was present.
Death was present.
Challenges was present.

It was both. It was fun and it was memorable. I may forget some people as the their names are swallowed by the passing of time. But I will never forget the things we did. Especially at the end.

During all the chaos. i went around interviewing players and getting their opinion on what was happening.
