WELCOME TO THE MERGE!

WELCOME TO THE MERGE!

Welcome, all who are left, to the merge.

MrGlad, Kursed, TRUC, Resarekt, Dan-83, bls1999, TheBreeze, SirPepa781, JEEJAYEM, Silky Silver: congratulations on reaching the merge! It’s not an easy thing to do in this game, so I commend the ten of you for reaching this point in the game. 

But now, please brace yourself because this is where the game gets real. It’s an individual game now. No competing tribes, just one brand new merged tribe. All challenges will be individual now. The winners of challenges will receive individual immunity and be safe from the following Tribal Council.

We have a few other happenings/activities, read about them below:

MERGE FEAST

Bringing something I’ve never brought to JV Survivor: a merge feast! 

I have an image with ten different snacks! 

Post what snack you want in this thread. It’s first come first serve so post your selection in this thread ASAP!

One snack has a clue hidden below it. Whoever picks that snack will receive a clue to a SUPER SPECIAL ADVANTAGE made by Old JV’s Season 7 Winner Princess Zelda (my wife lol). This is a brand new original advantage that could change the game forever. Whoever finds the clue will get a head start on looking for this advantage. Everyone else will get to see this clue after the first individual immunity challenge. All of the other snacks have nothing underneath, so enjoy the satisfaction of what you choose to eat. Immerse yourself. 

Here is the merge feast:

NAME YOUR TRIBE

Merged tribe, another activity for you: naming your tribe.

In the real show, the players who make the merge get to decide what their tribe will be called.

So, in this thread, I want the ten of you all to decide what your tribe will be named!

The tribe color is going to be yellow. I made the two original names Latin, so you could stick with the theme of that or go down your own route. Your tribe your choice. Just come to a decision together here!

FINAL CAPTAIN’S TWIST

It’s time for the final captain’s twist of the game. This twist was only going to happen if both captains (MrGlad and TheBreeze) made the merge. Which they did.

I am going to PM them both a decision. It’s a possible twist that can only happen if they both agree on it.  We’ll see what happens with that.

OTHER THINGS ARE GOING TO HAPPEN

Keep your eyes peeled for another thread. Another twist is coming that will be the cherry on top of this merge!

Thanks, everyone. And good luck. Be careful who you trust going forth, the merge is where things get serious. Just try to have fun!

[JEEJAYEM]

Ill have a number 7 please. Lets spice it up 🔥

[Dan-83]

Shoot I’ll take number 1

[TRUC]

I've been making homemade cookies for 2 weeks now so I feel compelled to pick #10

Also I suggest "Unire" for the tribe, as a French speaker it's a little more intuitive but it's where unite takes its root and the phonetics are in line with Gaudeo and Aura

[JEEJAYEM]

+1 for Unire

[Kursed]

#9 please!

Need some quick fuel for my runs 🏃‍♂️

[Silky Silver]

#3 please 🍿

[bls1999]

4 please!

(Unire is fine w/ me too!)

[SirPepa781]

I pick 2

Edit: I am also fine with Unire

[Resarekt]

Damn I knew I shoulda stayed up when I saw you posting the thread lol. I’ll take #5!

I like Unire for the tribe name!

[MrGlad]

#8

[Resarekt]

#8

put the glad in the coconut and shake him all up

[TheBreeze]

Unire sounds great and I'll take 6 by default!

[TRUC]

Maybe the real clue was the friends we made along the way

[Sushie]

Looks like we’ll be going with Unire. Thanks, TRUC! Perfect name.

Enjoy your food, everyone! You’re going to need the energy.

Someone found a clue underneath one of their bowls of food. That person will receive a riddle that will begin the hunt for the super special advantage. They will receive the riddle later in the day today. If that person fails to find it before the first individual immunity challenge ends, everyone else will get to see the riddle and have a chance at finding this item.

[Sushie]

The riddle has been sent out. If that person doesn’t figure it out by the end of the first individual immunity challenge, the riddle will go public for all to try.

[Sushie]

UPDATE: I stated the riddle would be revealed after the first individual immunity challenge. I wrongly worded that. I meant after the Get Back challenge ends, which means tomorrow at 9pm the info goes public for all.

---

A bunch of you have been sending in attempts, and trying theories. It’s been very entertaining! If someone somehow figured it out they can totally earn it before the riddle is made public.

---

3.5 hours til the Get Back Challenge begins.

[Sushie]

Wow. The riddle was solved, and the prize was claimed. That’s all I’ll say.

About two hours until the Get Back Challenge.

[TRUC]

Any chance we still get to know what the clue/riddle was for funsies, I missed all of it lol

[TRUC]

Before I go offline for the night I'll leave some accessible archive of the post-a-thon for extra context, à la sports commentary: 3h30m into the challenge and it's roughly 406 Addy - 399 Sunlight. Impressive pace for both, and David has joined a bit later standing at 50 so there's still a chance.
