And that is the game.

Thoughts
Sorry to everyone that thought this game was poorly run. An outside event influenced the game and the integrity of the game was close to being compromised. I was debating abandonment the evening three people replaced out, and had been distant from the game ever since. If you think I was too slow, communicated poorly or resolved matters poorly it's all a direct continuation of how little enjoyment I was getting out of modding the game.
I would like to thank everyone that replaced in and everyone that stuck on until the end. You're all proof that I made the right decision. What caused Cheekyteeky to leave still puzzles me. I do hope they siteflaked, but if they left they left for a good reason.
It would be nice to hear from Micc and Cabd in particular about the self-protecting doc, which I believe Micc said was absent from his original set-up.
The flavor of the game was related to the wandering souls, how they were living their lives, and going on adventures, all while being aware that not everything was quite right. Lynch flips were all in the "return to the scene of the crime" spirit type of story: it was at those times I would reveal all the players were journeying together all along, paranoid of one another, while being aware that they were being followed by something else. What that 'something else' is was nothing I had defined- it was probably some kind of mental illness, delusion or manifestation of the Misleaders, or maybe the Misleaders were the delusion after all. The person looking for something was likely the Intervener. There was no real plot beyond "souls want to be happy and live, Misleaders want to drag everyone to hell." I was more concerned with building the atmosphere of the game and I hope I succeeded in that.
If I mod another game I hope I do a better job.
