What's the best number for a merge?

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

Anywhere between 10 and 12, 9 if it’s a small game (16 players or less) and 11-12 if it’s a big one (24). Jury should start at the same time as merge, I hate how the game has moved away from this. Obviously for an F3 the jury point can’t be at 9 barring another twist.

What if jury starts at F10 and there’s a Twistos Twist?

Do people give a crap about that kind of jury management at F12 though? It’s so hard to tell what people are thinking that early on.

Jury point should be at merge, unless it’s a very early merge (13, or 12 in some cases). My method of keeping jury sizes manageable is just by putting the merge later.

Honestly I probably would have been a little bit upset if the other half of that twist hadn’t completely fucked me.
