This answers your question:
Thanks to everyone who participated! If you voted in this event, you received 1 merit; if your caption appeared in the first table above, you also received 10, and if your caption appeared only in the second table above, you also received 2.
Thanks for the clarity, was about asking the same question.
So I got one too, buy my merit total hasn't changed.
Anyone else notice the same? Perhaps Loyce has scraped some relevant data to back up my suspicion?
Give it sometime, i also noticed but it changed recently from 946 to 947 mine happened after making this post.
