First, a little backstory...
One of the last <Good Guys> raids was a Phara Dar snipe. After a 3am server repop, Empire had left all of VP up. In the late morning, people with weird schedules gathered for a snipe. We started at the top, going straight for Phara Dar herself via Call of the Hero. Some of us were playing each others' characters to fill out the force. Unfortunately, Cwall <Empire> trained racnars to our camp in Phara Dar's lair, wiping us. One can only wonder how many other targets we would have gotten that day if we hadn't been trained and wiped - and how the story of <Good Guys> would have unfolded from there...
The GMs decided to give us our shot (thank you very much, Sirken) and we all assembled, some freshly tagged <TMO>, some bearing the feared <Friends> tag, and some as yet untagged - but all of us part of the alliance that was <Good Guys>.
My memory is clouded by the excitement of the battle and the elation of victory, but I'll endeavor to sketch out what I can remember:

We had agreed to share loot by a random roll (/random 1000), with trading/giving to friends allowed. Here is how it came out:
Grats Macca on Katana of Flowing Water

Grats Maelzai on Robe of the Azure Sky

And grats Mirkuls on Crown of Rile

Grats to those who just laid eyes on Veeshan's Peak for the first time (Tala, Grixus, perhaps others)
and grats to all for this major target, won by good mobilization and audacity, lost by devious skullduggery, and won again by judicious GM intervention.
It was good to be a <Good Guy>. We wish the best to all former members in their next quest.
