I do not know why I gave him merit. I just do not remember when it was and why.
I remember the "when":
Loyce you made have noticed this already but he's also merited tor9, another member of the ring, and Vangardo, who merited other members. Its complicated but I think this thread contains everything the mods need to know to confirm merit abuse (at least among members mentioned in my list)... Any reason I should hold off on reporting?
