I'm flabbergasted as to how you're aware of that fact (which I wasn't even aware of). How does one go about looking up that fact?
Theymos doesn't "airdrop" sMerit, he resets your amount to the maximum whenever it's increased or decreased. In case it isn't obvious: ideally, you spend about 33 sMerit each day, so they're replenished at the same rate 30 days later. You'll get there, but it feels like a burden to see it up to 200 again right after you thought you were almost done

Guess I missed your response last month, as I hadn't checked this thread since. I used the term "airdropped" because I got 1000 sMerits dumped on me all at once, so I thought it was the most appropriate term. As it stands right now in the month after that, my sMerits are being refilled gradually again.
These are the monthly statistics for July 2021 below.
Woot! I'll take that 6th position for July, and gladly. I thought I might be able to hand out the entire 1000 merits, but I fell a little bit short. Be that as it may, I'm happy that merit distribution was up for the month overall. We all need to keep circulating them in order to keep the system alive and well.
