Following a period of consultation within the official faction, as well as with whatever vaguely prolific indies I could find (at least one of whom has helpfully posted here to back up an earlier complaint of mine), GRN| is withdrawing its backing and participation in this event series.
If I had to cite a reason, it would be an overwhelming contempt for fair play and mutual enjoyment exhibited by a significant portion of the opposing side. I won't point any fingers in particular, but I'm not sure if I even have to.
I apologise to @Thyrzul and The Council for how things turned out regarding his extensive and detailed plans regarding the Tau-44 storyline progression, and also to @sindroms for the effort and time wasted on organising something that, in other circumstances, would have been a well thought out and welcome addition to the Tau region and its flagging activity levels. Unfortunately I haven't the energy, motivation, patience, or sanity to put up with the sheer amount of vitriol I'm personally having to deal with as a result of this event series, and I think the enthusiasm my member base was displaying has also long since burnt out.
