I would fork Deepbit. I mean, I'd have Deepbit 1 and Deepbit 2. I wouldn't fork bitcoin because it would lower confidence in bitcoins.
If they are controlled by the same person they could collude their block chains to be exactly what they both want. There is no increase in security.

If I were tycho I'd wait. 50% is a terrible time to start forking, perilously close to having authority removed from me. If my pool were still growing as his is, with no reason to see it slowing I'd let my pool grow larger and larger. When I had assumed a large enough safety margin, and people felt all safe and comfortable since I didn't do anything for a long time after 50%, then and only then would I consider any shenanigans.
Though to be fair Tycho is making about $2500 / day right now, so he's sitting pretty. He only has to wait until he gets tired of all this pool operator bitcoin nonsense to start cashing out.
EDIT: Sorry $3,250 / day.

I couldnt find the appropriate response in your poll, but what I would do:
Sell off 5% of my accumulated BTC every day until I was at about half my total amount, then attempt double spends in the thousands of dollars while my block chain was statistically able to support it.
Either way I would come out massively ahead.
And I would laugh at all the fools who voluntarily allowed me to destroy the project they were trying to contribute to/profit from.

Would you rig the network with deepbit, if you were the pool operator?
