  [0000] Entrances and Exits & The Latter's Lack Thereof
  ==================================================================================
  
  Any person who would seek to play this game should certainly be informed, before 
  anything else, that this game will result in the total destruction and
  annihilation of whatever planet(s) you may have previously called home. There is
  no escape from this almost certain fate to my knowledge, though if you live on a
  planet with someone else who's playing the game, I'd recommend pursuing an
  alternate gamemode. If it's an easy survival you'd seek, you'd have better luck
  playing the standard multiplayer—maintain your Path only within the living world.
  
  If such notions of easiness do not dissuade you from continuation, then what a
  fool you are, and what a lucky fool you are, to have a guide such as mine
  to serve as psychopomp in your romp throughout the Medium. And guide of the dead,
  I verily will remain, given the death toll that will inevitably be incurred by
  the playing of this game, whether the sentencing was made by you or perhaps
  another less kind Judge.
  
  Everyone you know who did not play the game and who is not in your house is dead.
  
  It would be wise to not dwell on such things.

  [A000] Pre-Entry & Friendship Management
  ==================================================================================
  
  Firstly, you should note that you will need to connect in a particular order. Once
  you have actually entered the Medium, it shan't matter as much, but your
  entry process will be guided by one other of your sessionmates and you will guide
  one other of your sessionmates through their entry process. There will need
  to be a particular server chain. Let us imagine that there are four players to
  this session, under the chumhandles AA, BB, CC, and DD. With this in mind, we may
  construct a sort of daisy chain necessary to enter the game.
  
  AA > BB > CC > DD > AA
  
  AA will connect and serve as server to client BB, who will be the server for
  client CC, who will be the server for client DD, who will loop back and serve AA.
  Simple as that! But, oh, what is this? Let us imagine that BB and CC have a
  certain amount of unfortunate history. CC ran over BB's dog or something of the
  sort--perhaps ran over BB's lusus, if you are so trollianly inclined. With BB in
  the role of server to CC, they possess a certain amount of control over the
  latter's environment. There are a slim few number of machines to place, but even
  just moving around objects, BB may neglect the consequences of their actions and
  "accidentally" drop a bed onto CC's head, fracturing their skull and killing them
  instantly. How awful, BB will bemoan! I never meant to do such a thing, they will
  claim! And then, it will very shortly become clear that the resulting session
  without CC is completely unsalveageable, thanks to their participation being
  necessary (even if in some small part, to surmount a particular obstacle).
  
  I'm sure you can imagine we don't want that happening. So let us arrange your
  connection chain with a little more care. If AA gets along better with CC, and BB
  is particularly infatuated with DD, then we can take such things into account
  when structuring the connection order.
  
  DD > BB > AA > CC > DD
  
  Et voilà! Our chain will result in as minimal casualty and accidental damage as
  possible, and we are ready to begin connection.
