(Plus won't Wax just ally with Grind or Rein automatically and end up making it a 1v2v3? With Wax as authority, Grind and Rein might even just ignore each other for long enough to wipe us out in a 3v3, newbies against experienced players.)

Wax allies with the smallest team. If there are two teams with 1 person, he could ally with one, but that would make the other the smallest team - and then he'd ally with them. So if we understand this properly he'd either be in no alliance or stuck perpetually switching between them.

I find it highly unlikely Grind will ally with Rein. If we do this, it may also force both of them to try to ally with our triple entente and make it a 4v2, rather than trying to convince one of their teams to take us and make it a 3v3. I feel like this plan would give us the most options, and allow us to deal with the people who will be most understanding of our inexperience (the other noobs) rather than try to sway the stubborn old-hands.
