I have a long list of things that I have in response to your question on how I think the RP did, and you as a GM did, but I'll keep it to myself and just agree with Cosmic 100%. I will add in one part, in that I believe that many of the problems could have been solved had you had better insight, or followed through on insight given to you, but mistakes is all in the game and it's what will help you grow as a GM and a player as well.

As for the new RP, I can't comment on it, since I won't be joining, but I wish you luck in your endeavor, and if you ever need a bit of advice, hit me right in the PM box ;)
