Just to list all the issues in one place:
I was subjected to the Providence bug with the bats, and wound up back in camp. When I was in camp I managed to remove the bat and flee. My fiance's character (AvalonNight) ended up being out in the woods and was suddenly suffering from itchy britches. As I understand it this is a Madness 3 level effect, and she was only at Madness 1 (And checking afterwards, not Mad at all). She succumbed to it as it wouldn't let her click on herself to stop the itching, and woke up in our little community.
She then was unfortunate enough to get caught by the bat, who latched on and continued to hit her with the "Bleed" effect. The end result was her standing in her lean-to, itching and unable to scratch, afflicted by a bat and unable to remove it. She's caught in an endless cycle where she can't die, she can't remove anything, and I suspect that all of this has to do with whatever errant line of code appeared and started eating people.
Halp?
