So you want to earn merit (as fast as possible!)

After a few days skulking the Meta section I realized a few important things:

#1 A huge portion of the Hero/Legendary crowd honestly care about the merit system. They are making it work, and they are more than happy to teach you.  

For some basics check out this chart by Zentdex:  https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2836429.0

Then, check out this more detailed infographic by paxmao to get an overview of the system: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2834641.msg29065043#msg29065043

How Do You Feel About This New System??

#2 Many forum members have gone the extra-mile to statistically show you which topics/areas earn the most merit. Surprise! Grin top Bitcointalk members prefer to merit posts in the "Bitcoin" section...Go figure.
