About

William Hobbs Has Left The Game refers to a screenshot from the video game Town of Salem in which a character named William Hobbs tells a player via in-game text chat not to worry, that they have a plan, then leaves the game. The screenshot was first uploaded as early as 2016, and saw use as a reaction image and in image macros in the following years.

Origin

On January 15th, 2016, an Imgur[1] user uploaded a cropped screenshot from Town of Salem consisting of a chatbox with three messages from a character named William Hobbs, one of the default names given to ToS players if they don't choose a name themselves. The messages read, "don't worry guys," "i have a plan," and finally an exit message reading, "William Hobbs has left the game" (shown below).
