The bigger a group is the easier it is to isolate people. However groups within groups, you're kind of double fucked. 19 people is not a group, it's a mobile party, switch to party handling dynamics.

Also being on the fringes of a group ALSO makes it easier to isolate members in a group. Being "in" the group kind of requires you to follow the groups flow and rules, being on the fringe is like a "friends with benefits" situation where you aren't an ACTUAL part of the group, but get invited to things and can still enjoy the benefits of some of the group dynamics, just be less committed to any individual group.
