Votes are due at MIDNIGHT
Be sure to vote in the Voting History thread provided to you in your confessionals. You have 24 hours to do so. Any vote after 24 hours will not count, and if all the votes are in, we reserve the right to post results early. Be sure to leave a bootlist to prevent self voting. Also make sure you answer these questions and have some confessionals for this round!
1. Does your strategy change at all now that you've merged? What's criteria do you use to decide your vote at this stage?
I think its a different game now so I can see my strategy alter a bit. Although tbh the way I've played has got me this far so IF IT AINT BROKE YA KNOW WHAT I MEAN MAN???
2. You had original tribes, two swapped tribes, and two sets of Dragons. Are original lines blurred at this point, or are they still a large factor?
I don't think tribe lines are as prevalent as people might think. I tend to focus more on my connections with individuals rather than an entire tribe.
3. With a very sudden merge Tribal Council, what's the vibe like for this vote? Are people scrambling?
I wouldn't say scrambling but I'm sure people are tweaking. I'm glad I'm immune, thats for sure!
1. Of course it's a totally different ball game now playing from an individual perspective in comparison to the tribal phase we're so used to at this point. I think we're gonna see a shift towards much more self-serving gameplay which will set the tone for the rest of the game! It'll be interesting to see how everything pans out considering the large number left. This is a huge merge! My criteria to vote as of now is just whoever isn't doing it for me socially.
2. For me, OG lines are very much blurred. I haven't been with my original tribe since the original tribes, and I've very much been flying solo since then, having had always been a dragon partner down and then losing two of my dragon partners in one round. At this stage, none of my dragon partners I ever had throughout the game remain in right now. So I don't exactly have any OG lines for them not to be blurred at this point, if that makes sense. It's very much each to their own as far as I'm concerned.
3. Definitely, it does all feel very rushed and from the high of actually making the merge is gonna be where the motivation comes for people to make their cases to stay. It'll be an interesting evening so it will be fun to see it all play out.
1. Does your strategy change at all now that you've merged? What's criteria do you use to decide your vote at this stage?
I think strategy always has to change, we are at a new stage in the game and this stage is a Lóng one. Relationships with people is always a big criteria for me when it comes to voting, if I don't have a relationship with them its hard for me to justify to myself on keeping them around. Ya feel me homie g?

this sudden merge tribal is rly rude pls dont do this again. 0/10 do not recommend. It had been pretty quiet most of the day, I think that time was being spent just talking to everyone you hadn't connected with or hadn't seen in a Lóng time and these few hours until the deadline I think we will see the vote really coming to shape

1. Does your strategy change at all now that you've merged? What's criteria do you use to decide your vote at this stage?
Yeah, I'm sure that everyone's strategy is going to change now, given the much larger group of people and number of votes that have to be addressed at tribal... definitely more than we've had to deal with before. I think at this rate, connecting with people is really critical to figure out the vote tonight.
2. You had original tribes, two swapped tribes, and two sets of Dragons. Are original lines blurred at this point, or are they still a large factor?
It's hard to say, because the rule about no cross tribal communication definitely blocked people from developing relationships that they might have formed otherwise. I'm sure there are people who haven't spoken to some others in two or three weeks, or perhaps never. It'll be interesting to see if people go with what they've experienced before, or take the time to meet new people and change their plans.
3. With a very sudden merge Tribal Council, what's the vibe like for this vote? Are people scrambling?
I think between the sudden merge and the fact that today was Monday, the vibe ended up being pretty quiet. I'm sure everyone was just trying to catch up with others or meet new people, but there's still time left so who knows what kind of scrambling could happen at the last minute.
1. Does your strategy change at all now that you've merged? What's criteria do you use to decide your vote at this stage?
It does a bit! There are lot more people to talk to and a lot more relationships to navigate, which means I have to start prioritizing certain relationships and really start to consider who I want to work with throughout the merge. My voting criteria is dictated most heavily by trustworthiness, transparency, and communication. In other words, the people who exhibit all of those qualities are the people I'd like to keep around.

Well, I thought original Lóng would be a thing but apparently we've all turned on each other? This is news to me. I'd say tribal lines are somewhat of a factor, but I think everyone in this cast is really social and willing to work with whomever they see fit, whether that's someone from their original tribe or not. All of the swaps and dragon relationships definitely limit the possibility of a boring pagonging, so maybe we'll see an interesting post-merge game play out.

It's weirdly quiet, and not really in a sketchy way. Just quiet.
1. Nope I don't plan on changing it that much, it has worked fine for me already. My vote pretty much consists of who leaving increases my chances to surviving next round. Just one round at a time.
2. I think lines are definitely blurred. Maybe if there was open cross-tribal communications things would be different, but with the first swap we had to cut communication with some people and we were force to have to communicate with others, and a lot can change in a matter of days. So yeah, I would say lines are blurred. (p.s. i totally copied this answer from the last TC I went to)
3. I think things have been kinda chill, at least for a merge vote. People have just been playing catch up with each other since we haven't talked to some of these people in a while.
1. Does your strategy change at all now that you've merged? What's criteria do you use to decide your vote at this stage?
My strategy is the same as always regardless of the point in the game. I want to make connections and want people to know where I'm coming from. At this stage, who is a threat and who is going to create problems down the line start to become real factors.
2. You had original tribes, two swapped tribes, and two sets of Dragons. Are original lines blurred at this point, or are they still a large factor?
I think they're pretty blurred. We're all individuals at this point and we've been through a lot of rounds in different spots so we're all just ready to play the game as individuals.
3. With a very sudden merge Tribal Council, what's the vibe like for this vote? Are people scrambling?
It was pretty quiet at first while people were catching up and trying to talk less so about game and more just about life stuff. Some scrambling definitely did end up happening because we're at tribal but I think everyone wants a pretty united vote.

um yus?
What's criteria do you use to decide your vote at this stage?
Majority rules I suppose, I do not want to rock the boat
2. You had original tribes, two swapped tribes, and two sets of Dragons. Are original lines blurred at this point, or are they still a large factor?
I think they could play a factor for some, but it's always nice to meet new people, new faces.
3. With a very sudden merge Tribal Council, what's the vibe like for this vote?
The vibe went from pure library quietness to a bit more chaotic like me and Tyson in the bed
1. Does your strategy change at all now that you've merged? What's criteria do you use to decide your vote at this stage?
Well the goal is to now seem less complacent than before considering I haven't gone to many tribals. I guess the key is to just talk to people and avoid being a target. At this point with so little time a unanimous vote without creating lots of waves is the main goal.
2. You had original tribes, two swapped tribes, and two sets of Dragons. Are original lines blurred at this point, or are they still a large factor?
They are hella blurred but I'm sure some people are still banking on some sort of tribal relationship. If its OG tribes then I can't say I feel very comfortable with only 4 other people from my original tribe still around!
3. With a very sudden merge Tribal Council, what's the vibe like for this vote? Are people scrambling?
Crazy and yes for sure. It's been a bit hectic but clearly its all coming to an end rather quickly because I'm submitting this with about 5 minutes before results are due :)

why 3 questions this is cruel to make someone do on a phoneeee
1. i think it stays the same??? like we have new things to consider since we've essentially entered the second stage of the game. whats best for the Lóng run and how do you get far are two big questions that have to be asked
2. lines are most definitely burred. we're all a competent group of people and we know that almost random assortments of people coming together dont mean that those relationships are always going to be the best for you. continuously working and growing with the game is how it should be played.
3. yes scrambling. im kinda all over the place with some other stuff going on so i've mostly lost any kind of vibe lmao.
