20 - 10 - 5 - 2 - 1 = 38 merits

If you take into account the 0.5 smerits generated for each 1 merit sent then;
...5 - 2(+0.5) - 1(+0.5) both half smerits would potentially generate another smerit totalling 39
To compare;

2 - 2 - 2 - 2 - 2 - 2 - 2 - 2 - 2 - 2 - 1 - 1 - 1 - 1 - 1 - 1 - 1 - 1 - 1 - 1 = 30 merits Grin

Each 1 merit sent generates 0.5 smerits = 10 × 0.5 = 5
As above ...5 - 2(+0.5) - 1(+0.5)
So, 30 + 5 + 2(+0.5) + 1(+0.5) = 39

Regardless of how you distribute merits it should generate same number of smerits, although splitting it more would mean it would need an extra merit to activate it by making it a whole 1

Ok, so if I merit 20 posts of 20 different users with 1 merit, I will get this:

20 X 1 = 20, 0.5 X 20 = 10. That is 30 merits. And then:

As above ...5 - 2(+0.5) - 1(+0.5)

Please explain me this calculation, that is, 20 X 0.5 = 10.
