I realize how some will interpret this, so I post it at my own peril, I suppose, but I want to say for the record that Sam is one of the nicest all-round guys I have met in TW.
He stepped in to lead Loyal and worked unbelievably hard to keep things together. He went without sleep to sit accounts that had been bleeding villages, and he always had the best interests of the tribe at heart - a very unselfish player, as all good leaders must be.
My reasons for leaving Loyal are complicated, and I will not air them here, but they had nothing to do with either Sam or Yogi, or, in fact, most of the players in Loyal.
I wish almost of them nothing but the best.
