What's the best number for a merge?

For large social games such as Survivor where the primary mechanic is social interaction.

I think it depends on the size of the game, larger games 11-12 is a good merge, but smaller games 9. I do think that jury needs to not start until merge so that everyone in the jury has some idea of all the finalists personally, even if it's not much. I do think that jury starting a round or two after merge is also acceptable. But really, I think it's per game. Some of our game mechanics support merges at different times from the norm.
