Congratulations

The good news is that you have made the merge!

The bad news is that you are also competing in your first Immunity challenge of the merge.

While you are merged, you will still compete in this Immunity Challenge as a tribe because the tribe that wins will ALL be immune from the first Tribal Council of the merge.

It's simple in concept.

Just be the last tribe to have at least 1 member remaining in their tribe forums.

The catch is that you will have no communication with anyone who is outside of your tribe discussion forum. As you all know, missing the time with your new tribemates can be deadly, and going into a merge it can be the difference between winning and losing.

So, you have to decide, is Immunity worth missing out on the merge tribe discussion?

This challenge will continue through Sunday. If there are still members of both tribes in their discussion forums, the tribe with the most members remaining in their discussion forums wins.

If you wish to leave your tribe and join the merger, please post so in this thread.

What's our strategy here Chorotega? It looks as though we'll be able to see who has joined the merger by the color of the names on the main page, so we could possibly make sure we always have a majority?

ONE MORE RULE!

You must check in at least once every 24 hours to remain apart of the challenge. Or else you will default to the merge tribe.

I think we all obviously want to be immune... I'll stay if everyone else does.

Jeff, does "staying on our tribe forum" just mean that we NOT request to go to the merge? Or do we literally have to have someone logged in the whole time?

Wasn't Chad going to be away? He might automatically merge

You only have to post in here once within a 24 hour period. However, the longer you stay in here, the longer you go without talking to your tribemates. This challenge could go on until Sunday night.

Will there be a Tribal Council on Sunday night immediately after the challenge (if it goes until then)?

So you HAVE to request to merge in this topic? And once you request to merge, you no longer have access to this topic, right?

That's a good point about being able to see who has and hasn't merged. Obviously it doesn't even do us any good to go to the merge tribe if there isn't even anyone else there.

So you HAVE to request to merge in this topic? And once you request to merge, you no longer have access to this topic, right?

Yes you will have to post it live in this topic. Only the people who are still here can see this topic.

Will there be a Tribal Council on Sunday night immediately after the challenge (if it goes until then)?

Yes, immediately afterwards, no discussion going into council for those still on their tribes.

I asume if someone requests to merge, their color/buff will be changed accordingly, so we'll at least know who else has merged?

waaaa

so wait are we merged or not merged

i am confused

It seems we are merged, but are playing for tribal immunity one last time.

so as long as no one takes it we are all 6 immune or something

As long as we have more people who don't take it than the other tribe, all 6 of us are immune.

so as long as no one takes it we are all 6 immune or something

Exactly, but Chad may be forced to auto take it if he doesn't show up.

What happens in case of a tie Probst?

Good question.

Exactly, if Chad doesn't post withing the first 24 hours he's out of the running for the tribe.

I'm glad you asked I'll let Jeff confirm this though. I'm not entirely certain which of two ways he's running it.

Wasn't Chad going to be away? He might automatically merge

No I'm not going to automatically merge lol. I am confused what this all means though. We just don't request to merge and we win?
