Hi Nicholas thank you for the congratulations! This answer is gonna be typed on my mobile notepad thing so if the formatting messes up I&apos;m sorry!

So, you leaving affected the majority Savanne alliance both positively and negatively id say, but I&apos;m going to talk about that in the second answer! Personally, for MY game, you leaving really sucked. You were one of the people I felt I had a genuine connection with and wanted to go deep into the game with - I was hoping you&apos;d stick around so we could make it through those first couple of votes, but also because I knew majority alliances would not last forever and hopefully id get something going between you/me/Lexi so we could make a move later down the line. It was a legit setback and I had to readjust my plans because of it. Also it left me on a clear minority on Moka and i probably would have gone home had we lost the challenge which sucked. However, you could say that it affected me positively because it made me work harder in the challenge and ensure that i stayed safe for that round.

So, as for the numbers, it obviously was a big blow to our side. The game was clearly going to be side vs side and numbers are everything in the beginning of the merge. Along with losing Kells and Shea, it meant we were at a big disadvantage compared to where we were before. However there are a couple of positive things that came out of it. For one, it gave the savanne alliance incentive to stick together. We all wanted to get through the early merge together and because the numbers were so close, it gave us a reason to stick together and not flip - flipping would have meant being on the bottom of the Moka side. Also, Felipe and Eve returning actually did help us as they were integral to helping our side gain the power, so that was also a positive.

That was kinda wordy and idk if it make sense to to summarise; You leaving meant I lost a close ally who I really wanted to take deep into the game with me, and i was left in a crappy situation on Moka, however it motivated me to work harder on the challenge so I could stay.

The numbers meant we were very close to losing the power struggle, but eventually, eve and Felipe were both very integral to my game and to the alliance gaining power. We were also given incentive to stick together and keep the numbers strong as long as possible.

Hopefully that made sense!! Thanks for your time :)
