I understand and almost agree with @Cryptohunter's feeling.

But usually when you are in a privileged position you don't really notice what others might.

if i quote the pharmacist :

Awesome work Loyce

**Shoots 1 Merit at Loyce into the circle jerk**

Agree, excellent data though it still makes me look a bit like part of the jerking circle, as less than 300 of the 1023 merits I've earned came from outside the top 200 club. Or at least I'm betting that's how Cryptohunter will view it, though I haven't finished reading this thread and don't know if he's replied yet. And LoyceV, you'll have to excuse me for not meriting you for your excellent analysis. I don't have much sMerit left (still haven't figured out how merit sources get their sMerits replenished, and it always seems like I'm out of them), and I don't want to contribute to the "problem".

By the way,

putting cryptohunter on ignore

....is not a bad idea. Haven't done it yet, but it's been on my mind.

Great work so far and I do appreciate the effort.

Ooops, that'll teach me to read the whole thread first before posting.

he seams happy to see that 30% of his merit doesn't come from the top 300

Well, i see it this way :

So if we do a little bit of maths for @The pharmacist
total sum received from 10 users = 636 merit = 61% from just 10 persons all (except 2 are part of the top 200).
If we look at the top 100 (remove foxpup, dbshck, Winner)
He has received 283 merit from the Top100 it is 28% of his merits from just 6 persons.
If you take the top 150, then it is 569 merit received (56% of all his merit) from just 8 persons, all in the elite.

I had a look to other names in the top 50 merit receiver, but without a bot it is time consuming and i am at work Grin

@Lauda = 362 merit received ( 53%) from 10 persons. https://bpip.org/profile.aspx?p=Lauda
@Suchmoon = 527 merit received (52%) from 10 persons https://bpip.org/profile.aspx?p=suchmoon
@Jet cash : 479 merit received (56%) from 10 persons (6 of them are in the top100 - merit by top100 = 295 = 35% ) https://bpip.org/profile.aspx?p=Jet%20Cash

I guess CryptoHunter is showing a mixed feeling of jalousie and also a will to get rid of the Merit-archy (word invented, derived from patriarchy but with the merit root). Let's be honest, everybody is a little bit racist, has a preference to the charity they give, only hire people that like, only make friends with people they relate, would be reticent to help a foreigner but quite keen to help a fellow citizen. Would rater help a hot mom with a stroller than an old homeless.

Merits do stay in the top 100 / 200 / 300 call how you want.
The same way merit doesn't really cross boards. Merit earned in meta stays in meta.
I have seen some members that on spend all their meta received merit in their national board trying to help merit-deserving members to get the recognition that is very often just to hard to get.

post edited after suchmoon spotted a few typos. Edits are in italic

I totally missed this post and I am now going to take a good look over it. It seems even more telling than the figures I had looked at before. This is great work.

I wonder if those 10 users that are contributing to any of those people that get 100's upon 100's of merits are by any chance any of those arguing that there is nothing to see here in all of these threads and I am making a big fuss over nothing.

Well I certainly see that the receivers of these generous 10 are in all of these threads LOL

I mean the entire thing is quite funny.

I thought removing 80% of circle merits for the top 200 was good. But now I see many can have over 50% removed from just 10 others. That is very revealing news. Who would have though lauda would be there or PT his supporting and understanding pal.

Can't wait for suchmoon and malborozo to have theirs done too.... weeeeeeeee that's like the merit snakes and ladders game when you have you best ten buddies merits taken away and you fly down the reality merit slide.
