I would like to think that, as Theymos intended, the system is now able to eventually right itself, but who knows...
Eventually it can boil down to the question who have the most accounts with enough voting power (read: Merit): "the good guys", or "the bad guys"?
That brings me back to this comment:
I like LoyceV just fine but 6X as many votes as SaltySpitoon? lol no..
If you put it like this, it is weird indeed.
This now makes perfect sense! If I assume "the good guys" earn more Merit, but "the bad guys" create more accounts, it makes perfect sense not to cap the voting power of accounts with a lot of Merit ("the good guys"), while many accounts with less Merit keep their voting power by sheer number of accounts they have ("the bad guys").
In case I don't make any sense: I barely slept for 3 days, I have no caffeine left in my blood, so I'm off for the night.
