your theory is correct. in deerington milk acted like she wrote everything while simcha was just a helper mod. in reality simcha was writing all of the tdms and a lot of the events. but because milk wrote the "important" stuff (read: the boring npc info dump events and the bloated game info) it was her game. simcha did even more work in deer country and milk took even more credit for it. and then when milk left everyone started to fret and fuss about how they weren't sure the game would make it with the pillar of the mod team missing. when again simcha was doing the lion's share of the mod work and had been for years at that point.

deer country closing was always entirely about milk. but even people that claim to hate her are completely taken in by her public persona. which is why they're spinning conspiracy theories so they can blame literally anyone except her.

I don't really agree with the fact that deer country closing was entirely about milk. drama hit the fan around the same they stepped down which saw a large exodus in the game. Simcha did bring a breath of fresh air into the game when she stepped up as head mod, but within a few months she was hardly around because of irl priorities. You could tell months before that something was up when the games new metaplot abruptly ended just as it started to roll.

Simcha wanted to close the game and let it end on a high note but no one could accept that and everyone started showing their assholes.

The game slowly died a death of a thousand cuts and it was embarrassing to watch.
