8/10
The fact is simple, this was executed pretty roughly. With so many admins involved on both sides, I think the big take away is that it should have been discussed ahead of time with the BH so they could let the story play out to your vision.
You attempted a very good idea, which had A LOT of potential. It was the first time I seen something like this in Synergy. Despite the negative feedback and the sheer amount of complaining, I hope you dont let it discourage you from trying again. I firmly believe the next one you do in this style will be truly one of the best events the server has seen in quite some time.
