Okay so what's the plan then? All leave and wait for an invite by Etiopi (aka mybabysdaddy)? Or do we try for Qwerty's island (but if we can't all fit that seems a bit pants)?



Shockfreeze: You don't need to pay anything to join a tribe, just ask to be accepted and hope for the best (a forum like this is particularly useful as you can actually talk tot he tribe leader and tell them what you can bring, etc.). Once you're in a tribe you're generally expected to contribute by levelling up your monster, but that doesn't cost diamonds either. You can use coins, food or shards but by far the most economical would be to use shards (as they are pretty useless elsewhere, whereas coins and food are useful). However, if you don't have any monsters on your Ethereal island, you won't be able to level up particularly high (max level 10 or 15 using coins only from what we've seen before) until you start getting some monsters on Ethereal island. The good news is that once you get at least two monsters on Ethereal island, you can start breeding threm and get more with much less effort (also, it's worth noting that the single element Ethereal monsters are more economical than the 2 element ones per bed used for the shards you get).

If you intend to continue towards getting some Ethereal monsters and eventually levelling up your Ethereal island and start contributing wherever you can, I don't see it being an issue having you in our new tribe (though by all means join Daniel's) and you contributing a minimal amount for the next couple of weeks until you have more to give.
