@Hhaos -> This is still a great way to help. I've been known to raid on my tablet, with debatable success, but lately I've been relying on my other skills to help when I'm not able to participate: Inking tattoos for free and providing loads of free inks to our runies. I'm with you on this one!
My first raid as a little druid was against Cyrene. We set everything up, got the Naga in and prepared to portal in. The problem at hand however, was that I had yet to be enemied to Cyrene.
So as I stepped through my grove portal to the lone naga, nobody followed me because of however the portals worked with enemies and non enemies at the time. Now this was a pretty small raid group, and I was depending on some other people with wings at the time to get us out. So basically, it was one naga and me, the rest of mhaldor sitting in my grove. Nobody else could get to us, so the naga just said "See ya" and left.
As I said, I was not enemied so I walked right out, but enough people saw me to enemy me. Still, one of the most anticlimactic raids ever.
Last raid I was in I basically logged on and SVO quit working, as Targossas was raiding Ashtan. But, they killed me and I was able to fix it at the cave, so, all in all I guess it worked out. One day I'll be useful in a fight. *sagenod*

The one that comes to mind at the moment is when Shallam was getting ready to kill some of Ashtan's or Mhaldor's guards. We were all grouped up on Ascending, deffing up and waiting for our serpent to get in position. I forget the specific details but out of fucking no where someone targets Guard on PT and I'm pretty sure it was Carmell that just started bashing the shit out of our own guards. I wasn't really paying attention and the sudden spam made me jump in my chair and think we were in the enemy city. So I start mashing my gut alias on our own guards, and I know at least four or five other people were as well. Almost half of our group dies, everyone from other cities are laughing and wtfing at the deathsights on ooc clans and we didn't even get to raid anyone. I was more of a serious player back then but even I couldn't stop laughing for a solid minute.

Pretty sure that wasn't me. I was sleeping for 6 years.
@cooper was there, @aisling too I know for sure. Maybe they can help.
Trying to think of a more unique situation where I fucked up instead of just the standard mis queues like running into ret, earring travels, running into enemy.
Think one time I just kai choked Ellodin when he was getting focused during a sanction raid in Ashtan. Think I was trying to mind lock him defensively or something but yeah... he died. I kept quiet and don't think he ever noticed though

I once gathered together a very large and excited group of people with a detailed, well-laid plan to infiltrate into Ashtan's Central Market and kill what turned out to be not the Zarathustran eagle, but a statue.
That time I respawned outside the cave right before our raid defence leader @Arador. I then actually LOOKed at him. "Sir, is there a reason you aren't wearing any clothes?"
I think his retort was something about trying to blind the enemy raiders. :P Just the mental image of this 7 foot troll barking out orders, and charging into the fray... with not a stitch of clothing or armour.

There were so many fails in just that one raid, it was ridiculous haha. Honestly the way our luck was going Targ might have been able to rush us and kill us :P
