How are we going to handle the merge?

[Ryner]

Remember, it's on Sunday. 5 Keke and 5 Lawla players all stuck on one tribe, and whichever side wins the first vote will get the majority and probably go on to dominate.

It'll be important for the five Keke members to stick together, and I don't think we can expect a Lawla member to defect, so we'll need to think of a way we can take that first vote and knock out a Lawla member.

Any ideas?

It depends on how smart they can be in this kind of game. I seriously doubt this will work but I say it anyway cause it's plain fun. Send a PM to all of our members and one of theirs. For examples sake lets use Alt. We then mention that because a different member of Lawla-Lawla defected (for example again, Dreamy) we have the numerical advantage. However, we "by mistake" sent it to Alt instead of Dreamy. If confronted, Dreamy will say he knows nothing about what Alt is saying...cause he doesn't. Alt will vote for Dreamy in anger...as will all of us. XD
Again, it probably won't work, just saying it cause it's fun.

Re: How are we going to handle the merge?

I don't know. I think our best shot is probably going to end up being finding someone in their tribe that has the same number of votes as me or Ryner and hope we don't get screwed by the coinflip. Other than that I think our best shot is to try to get one of their members to flip outright and not some kind of misdirection.

I'm just curious as to how united they are right now. They haven't been unaimous in their voting but so far no one person has more than one vote. Now I do have access to the Lawla forum...

Re: How are we going to handle the merge?

What if somebody who isn't me or IRC made a post in the general survivor forum that said something like "Hey Lawla, there's a five-man alliance in your tribe, and one of you isn't included. You know who you are, and you're about to be voted of. If you want to strike back against the people who chose not to include you, place a vote against Owl, Alto, or Dreamknight."

If it works, it'll give one of them two votes, and as long as IRC and I don't get any votes at the next elimination, they'll be a tie.

Huh? Why are we doing stuff like that pre-merge?

[Ryner]

Re: How are we going to handle the merge?

IRC and I have two votes against us.
Owl, Alto, and DK have one.
We're about to merge into one tribe.
In the event of a tie, the player with the most previous votes against him gets eliminated.

Follow?

Re: How are we going to handle the merge?

Ohhh I see. You're setting up safties in case the lawla alliance sticks together fully. gotcha.

[Ryner]

Re: How are we going to handle the merge?

Since we have no reason to believe otherwise, I'm going to assume Lawla will be sticking together.

Re: How are we going to handle the merge?

Aren't we supposed to be voting tonight?

Edit: Well I guess not without immunities first. But I thought we were doing something tonight.

Re: How are we going to handle the merge?

They have had more splinters then us...but thats a good idea still. I wouldn't discount the possibility of a lack of unity though. They've splintered a lot recently and a lucky immunity could send it all to hell.
@ cow: tonight was just maijo arriving. Thats why you remember friday.

Re: How are we going to handle the merge?

Are you sure?

I vote for Hito just in case you're wrong.

How so? There were four votes against Funk, and five against Rick, and neither one of those guys is an easy vote out like Simple was for us. There's an obvious alliance on their side, and you can bet they'll stay that way at the merge.

Re: How are we going to handle the merge?

Sorry to interject guys:

Tonight I got home from vacation. Will be back for months now.

Tomorrow are the two random Immunities.

Sunday will be the vote offs.

Keep planning. You don't have much time left.

Re: How are we going to handle the merge?

So does anyone want to go through with my suggestion? I'd prefer if it wasn't me or IRC, just to make it seem .01 percent less obvious.

Re: How are we going to handle the merge?

They're trying to make us think Gray is the one on the outside, but I don't buy it.

Hito! Make another post saying how Lawla is trying to make everyone think Gray is the one on the outside, but it's obviously someone else. And that someone else can ensure he isn't eliminated in vain by voting for Alto, Owl, or DK. Afterall, even if he isn't eliminated, no one will ever know he voted that way, so either way he wins.
