You've survived the first vote of the Merge... but the chaos has only begun! ![:popcorn](https://i.imgur.com/C9oSv0k.gif) In light of all that we'll keep the questions brief today but do feel free to write about other things too as they come to mind. 1. Talk us through how that Merge Vote came together, from your point of view. Were you comfortable with Kingsley leaving, and with how the dynamics seemed to settle? 2. Did the Magical Feasts Challenge and Lucius/Moody gaining Immunity change anything for you? 3. What do the separate Magical Councils this round mean for your Game? What would you like to see happen at each of them? 4. What can you do to ensure those outcomes eventuate? How will the Switch/Flick Charms and the dual Immunity winners factor into those plans?

Merge time! You're officially Shippable! ![:dance](https://i.imgur.com/T8uX0Lu.gif) We know that tonight was (possibly) a bit of an information overload, and that you have new Side Buddies to exchange missives with. But if you do get the chance to share your thoughts, we'd love to hear them! And who knows? Writing them out may even help you to make sense of everything... We have a lot of questions, but there's a lot of weekend ahead. Make sure to give yourself a break too! 1. How does it feel to make the Merge!? How would you sum up the week you've just endured, and how excited/proud/concerned are you to about what comes next? 2. How goes your reunion with Tonks? What does it mean to have a PBvO partner make the Merge with you and a potential Mutual ID Reveal on the horizon ? 3. Which players are you reuniting with from your original Side? Where do you think these prior relationships stand? Can you pick up right from where you left off, or have the intervening days affected any trust you'd built up? 4. Who are you meeting for the first time? Do you have first impressions to share, or do you already know enough about everyone thanks to the Swap, the Switch and the Owl Post? 5. Talk us through that last vote. Were you expecting it to be unanimous, and were you expecting a Switch? How has it changed the landscape for you in the Merge Side? 6. What are your initial thoughts about Paired Immunity? How do you think it will impact the rounds to come, having two people Immune at each Vote? 7. How do you think this Merge Side will shape together as you approach the Vote on Sunday? Which groups do you think will be working together? What would you like to see happen, and is it different from what you expect to see happen? Going for a double whammy of a confessional since i've finally, for the first time in several days, answered all my messages. WHEW Life has been so crazy lately. This move has been so much more taxing than I thought, and I thought it would be nightmarish. I've had to let so many of my irl obligations drop and having this game on top of things is just absolutely brutal right now. I've got so many clothes to wash, boxes to unpack, cupboards to organise, all while cooking for 3 adult men, going to work, keeping up my studies of game dev, social obligations, my new gym routine........ it's bonkers. I'm sorry to you personally that this game has slipped but i'm doing this instead of my lifelong passion of game development at the moment so... you get that ![:P](http://images.proboards.com/new/tongue.png) 1. Feels weird. Most of these people aren't much better than those i've met so far. Lots of humming and hawing. Right now my goal is make as few decisions as possible and be seen as someone who isn't holding on too tightly to anything. I think I've been subconciously taking a lot of cues from Yoshi in Super Mario Party to inform my style here, though lacking any of the finesse that they have. 2. Tonks is fine? its' nice to have that auto ally baked in but until the id reveal i really have no idea how to approach, and part of me wants to blindside her before then so that if I do blindside them it's not even possibly considered a personal attack, just a strategic maneuver. Obviously not going to force it, but i'm letting people know i'm not married to her conceptually. 3. Lucius and I broke down the idol round and hashed things out. i think it's very important for he and i to work together since by virtue of being visible it makes us both threats. It's the great and awful dichotomy of these games, the more fun you have, the bigger a threat you are. I should just sit quietly and patiently until mid merge when things actually matter but... yikes at doing that. fun is too fun. 4. Moody, Fleur and Diggle are new to me, each has pros and cons. Moody and i have only just started to speak and he seems promising. Hopefully no bad blood after i voted him. If things are turning on Black, it probably looks good for me to let him go even though I like him in favor of working more with Moody like Malfoy wants. Let him keep this pocket ally for now. Fleur is great but I dont' want to push too hard for her and she's definitely one of the bigger threats. Right in that middle ground strategically/visibly to not be targeted too soon but still have lots of room at mid game. Diggle lol ![>:(](http://images.proboards.com/new/angry.png) 5. this is so far in the past i actually don't remember 6. I'm not going to participate in immunity lol. I don't really have the time, and the last thing I need is that kind of target on me. I already fucked up by winning by doing nothing. 7. I reckon Canary will go ![:P](http://images.proboards.com/new/tongue.png) You've survived the first vote of the Merge... but the chaos has only begun! ![:popcorn](https://i.imgur.com/C9oSv0k.gif) In light of all that we'll keep the questions brief today but do feel free to write about other things too as they come to mind. 1. Talk us through how that Merge Vote came together, from your point of view. Were you comfortable with Kingsley leaving, and with how the dynamics seemed to settle? 2. Did the Magical Feasts Challenge and Lucius/Moody gaining Immunity change anything for you? 3. What do the separate Magical Councils this round mean for your Game? What would you like to see happen at each of them? 4. What can you do to ensure those outcomes eventuate? How will the Switch/Flick Charms and the dual Immunity winners factor into those plans? I thought it'd be moody but then he was immune so now it isn't. gj. 2. no 3. it means that i get a fast pass to single digits if i survive, which is nice. In a truly ideal world I think Lily/Crouch go here but the very last thing I need is to be seen planning a double blindside at F11. It'll probably be Black or Moody (probably black) on our side, and I have no idea on the other side. Fleur would seem the early logical deduction but that's a sticky situation no matter how you slice it. 4. Ensuring anything is not my game right now.

I feel like I don't *get* ORGs anymore. I thought after watching Smash Bros that I wasn't so far out of touch but this is the most batshit set of players i've ever experienced. It's genuinely unpleasant. I hate being such a downer all season but yikes.
