I feel as though it's best for me to make this post now, looking back at the game and my sudden departure, and apologize for all that my quit caused. First, let's get into my thoughts right before I left the game. The day before I quit, I was starting to notice a bond between Navi, Epona, and Skull Kid really surface, and that was when I decided the final three I would prefer would be Tetra, Eldin, and myself. This was by no means a plan I had time to put much thought into, but it was one that would overall have made the game the most enjoyable for me. I have no idea whether I would have won in that scenario, but at the time I believed Eldin and Tetra to both be very deserving winners, and I know that hasn't changed at all. My biggest regret in quitting was my fear that I had potentially made it impossible for anyone to stand a chance against Navi. So the fact that the two primary people I wanted on my side (and was afraid I screwed over by quitting) made it to the end couldn't make me happier. Let's get down to the reasons I did remove myself from the game though. The first, main reason, and probably the easiest to explain is that it simply wasn't a good time in my life for a game of survivor. The last and only real time I actually fully committed to a Survivor was Conclave, and that's because I was in a very stress free time of my life, and was able to devote a lot more of my time to it without feeling like it was a chore. However, during Hyrule, I had so many more responsibilities to homework, college applications, exams, scholarships, etc. Having to take time to send PMs (which always take me an unreasonably long time to write) felt like a 100 pound weight on my shoulders. Sure, I've been planning to mod for other games since I've quit, and I've even started a retelling of GOT Survivor, but none of that pushes the stress of losing on me, none of it requires me to constantly worry every day about what I'm going to do next. Survivor has never truly been something I enjoy playing in, and that's honestly just something I need to accept. Even Conclave that I won was not an experience I can really say I enjoyed most of, just due to how I always feel when playing games. Modding is a much more relaxing and satisfying feeling to me. If I ever apply for a Survivor game again, please do not accept me unless I strongly take back everything I'm saying here about the stress. Me applying probably means I'm forgetting the past. ![]() The final reason I quit is something I haven't really talked about. Since the mods of NAH talked with Reck in a call prior to this game starting, a lot of the anonymity was ruined for me. That's no fault of the mods, but from the call, I knew Jason wasn't playing and that Klick was playing. Jason said he would message everyone we had on the interest list for Names Are Hard to sign up for Hyrule, so if someone was a newbie or someone that I wouldn't expect to be playing, it was pretty easy to figure out who they were just from the list we had. All of that ruined the mystery of the whole thing for me, and deep down I felt like a big part of why I wanted to eventually go against Epona and Navi is because I knew who they were and I'd worked with them a lot, while TheBreeze and Shiidaji appealing to me because the people I thought they were are people I've always wanted a chance to align with. I felt like that really went against the anonymity of the whole game, and it just didn't feel right. That wasn't really a large factor at all in me quitting, but it was something I wanted to address and felt guilty for. To all the final three's torchwalks, everything you said made me smile, and you all played so well. <3 I especially loved Tetra's comment about thinking I was a conniving shit early on, because that's literally the exact same way I felt at first, and we both eventually grew to trust each other a lot I feel like. Eldin, you're the best newbie we've gotten since Cephrir, and Skull Kid, I hope you never stop playing, you've evolved so much since I first saw you in one of these, and I feel like a mom looking at her child all grown up. I hope this post summed up or answered any questions or concerns anyone had about my departure. Again, I truly apologize for leaving and taking away the spot from someone else, but I think I'm modding 3 games within the next few months, so as consolation, anyone who feels I took their spot for this game will gladly be accepted into those games. ![]() I love you all, Zefron
