This is a big shame. I'd have been there more often, but the time for me wasn't perfect.
I didn't realize Klaw bailed on you? Seems a bit odd to me.
I think what went wrong was consistency. It was as though half way through the story just got twisted. The CO character, Commodore He, was no longer in it, the XO, Klaw, was no longer in it. It seemed, to me, as though it were a different RP altogether.
