okay well in the official format sheet it says that i don't know what i will do with the final merge... i could let it play out with the exact rules about normal merges, or i could force merge at 12, or whatever I decide.
Well I'm not going to let it play out like they get down to 6 or something before the final merge lol. That'd just be dumb I think. This is ONE game and I'd like there to be one group of people for awhile. That and I think a small merge would be kinda dumb. This game has been all about personal choice. But really personal choice inside paramaters, so they choose when to merge within a certain time period. I just think it sucks to restrict who votes where (making tribes) and having it go from like 20 to 9 or 8 on two tribes is kinda dumb.
The more the merrier. The following has been my thoughts on final merge since the 2 tribes were made:
17+ = way way too high; unacceptable
16 = still way too high; only if they all want it
15 = too many; only if most want it
14 = preferred merge amount
13 = The optimal merge. If I could choose it'd be this.
12 = very very low; i'm almost unwilling to go below it only if nearly all want it
11 = the absolute lowest I'd ever go; at this point it would be a forced merge.
With that in mind, here's how it is going to go:
16 - all but one must vote yes
15 - all but two must vote yes
14 - half, rounded up must vote yes. OR half, rounded down, plus one must vote yes.
13 - half, rounded down minus one must vote yes OR two votes yes
12 - one vote yes
11 - auto merge.
those numbers might need to be lowered since this is on a tribe-by-tribe basis.
