I left because I could not take it anymore. I wanted to stick around to see the situation through to the end but it was taking its toll on me. It was to the point that I was considering threatening to release all of the plot details I know/came up with (enough to spoil every bit of the overarchingstory from the extinction of humans to the surprises waiting for you in the final encounter) to strongarm Jeff into at least addressing the many serious problems that led to the Saturday incident and would surely lead to more if not resolved. I was even considering actually dumping it all, if the group going into a drama meltdown seemed inevitable - better to mercykill it before the drama could build up and result in the same fate but worse.
It was about the time I was seriously dwelling on these thoughts that I realized I should just go before I cause any more trouble.
Jeff, if you want this group to last further than you can throw it, it is imperative you listen to the concerns of others, especially concerning the DM workload right now. You think you have heard everything but you have not (pic related, I will not be showing the rest of the messages). He reached out to me for help when things started going south, I saw him break down in real time, I saw messages I'm sure he never sent you.
The truth is a puzzle that requires everyone's cooperation to see. All men can have their own pieces, but no man has all of them - only by working together and sharing what you know can you see the full picture. If you do not listen to everyone and continue to sidestep the concerns they bring up, you will miss "hidden" problems that were glaringly obvious to others and will hit the group like a truck. I learned my lesson about how groups fall apart the hard way, and took the brunt of most of it myself - it would be unwise to just cover your ears and go on to repeat the mistakes I saw firsthand years ago.
One of you knows where to reach me if you come to a decision about what we have discussed privately (it does not concern the rest of you, nor the group itself), but as for the rest of you, though I wish you the best, my continued presence in the group was tearing me apart. Do not expect to hear from me.
