Dr. StrangeXilli is a lampoon based on this source material from Xenia Elizabeth Zilli who administers a Facebook discussion group associated with an Internet game site called Uru Live: Myst Online (Again).

Facebook Group: URU − MOULa, Shards, and Beyond

One of the most beloved franchises in the genre of computer puzzle games is the Myst series from Cyan Worlds, which culminated in an online multi-user virtual reality called Uru. After Uru exhausted its profitable commercial run, Cyan Worlds was able to release the game to Open Source and hand it over to the loyal fans, who continued to develop non-commercial fan-crafted extensions.

On Facebook, there are some FB Groups connected to Uru and its open source fan-built extensions.

Yutiel Yoshi has long been a member of one of those FB Groups that turned out to be administered entirely by a veteran fan who, I am sad to say, runs the group like her personal fiefdom, thus spoiling the collegial and congenial ambiance of the Uru Community Culture.

Among the activities in the Facebook Group are weekly Picture Quest puzzles to find the locale within the game of some obscure scene, as shown in a screen shot. In a recent edition of the game, Xenia Elizabeth Zilli unceremoniously disqualified a contestant (Hawk Ster) who had won the previous week's puzzle and was thus slated to present the next one. 

The resulting expression of discontent turned into a kerfuffle in which Xenia Elizabeth Zilli eventually blocked and banned Hawk Ster and irritated a number of other participants.

Ironically enough, Hawk Ster was the original inventor of the Picture Quest game, although his original version was presented without any formal rules.  Xenia Elizabeth Zilli imported the Picture Quest game into her Facebook group and burdened it with rules and other formalities.

Here is a fragment of the last three comments on the occasion in which Hawk Ster was unceremoniously ejected from the Picture Quest game in Xenia Elizabeth Zilli's Facebook group.

As you can see from the above exchange, Yutiel was one of those who took exception to Xenia Elizabeth Zilli's disruption of the Picture Quest game and spoke up about it.  At least one other observer also spoke up, but for undisclosed reasons, Xenia Elizabeth Zilli quickly deleted it.

That is the main reason for responding with the lampoon, Dr. StrangeXilli.
