How does the Prisoner of War twist change the way you’ll play the game?Tough question, Jeff. I think it makes us re-adjust our short term and long term plans. The twist could change everything and I guess you have to keep on your toes with the endless possibilities it presents. Hopefully it doesn’t affect me too much but you can never be too sure.

'''With the Prisoner of War twist, bonds that were made during the Anarchy stage now have a way of affecting the way the tribal portion can play out. While those bonds obviously still exist, does this twist mean that concrete cross-tribal alliances can be formed, especially since these moments will be the only time you can talk to a member of a rival tribe? Or, more directly, how much impact do you think the POW's extra vote could have on a tribe? '''

Long question, Jeff. The twist is a great opportunity to chat with someone else from another tribe and one would be silly not to try use the POW vote to their advantage. If that means they need to make an alliance to ensure it, sure I guess one could be formed. But I’m not sure about its longevity and practicality as it’s a wild game. But yeah, the POW vote has endless possibilities that could have a huge impact. Are they going to use it their personal advantage? The tribe they are visiting’s advantage? Or do they not even care what happens and just want to mess things up? Really, they could do anything and this being the first tribal vote, it could decide how we play the rest of this stage of the game.
