My Surprise State Migration Decision

I've officially retired from State 787 and, after a last-minute decision, migrated from State 1080 to State 1088. The move was triggered when State 1080’s leadership rejected a player application over pirate concerns, followed by an attempted alliance merge that felt unwelcoming to multiple members. I returned to my old alliance with three castles and considered letting them die in Eden, conversations with Jonas (Heimdal) and invitations from players in 1088 led to migrating with a small group. I'm going to avoid close relationships, and I plan to play more efficiently with better life balance. Now I'm in 1088’s NNO (Naked Nomads), where I do not want a leadership role. I hope to rediscover fun, and I may quit if the season isn’t enjoyable. :-) 00:00 Big Game Update 00:36 Why 1080 Rejected Him 01:57 Trying the Alliance Merge 02:37 Merge Felt Wrong 03:32 New Migration Plan 04:22 Inviting Friends Along 05:46 Kicking Everyone Out 06:12 Rumors And Fallout 07:06 Burnout And Boundaries 08:04 Settling Into 1088 08:54 Spontaneous Move Recap 09:25 Efficiency And Addiction
