It fizzled due to being excessively cautious. Given how it was determined to not reveal any details about itself, it couldn't have any actual influence on how the game was played (at least for non-members), so everyone just ignored it after a while. Sure, it's possible that the UNDEAD members had some sort of conspiracy going on, but you could do that even /without/ a contract (which would be an ever surer way to keep the membership hidden!). Additionally, I've been involved with the majority of coordinated scam attempts that were made while I was a player (especially given that I was well-known to generally be up for that sort of thing), and I wasn't and never have been an UNDEAD member, so if they did have some sort of conspiratorial or scamming basis, it was only a minor proportion of the actual scamming that was going on. -- ais523
