I got two merits:
- @mendace, who wasnt aware of the merit rule. I informed him on the Italian discussion thread, he probably will be penalised for that, but I have a little concern for this (it was his fault, after all)
- I got a merit from @icopress, who isnt mentioned in this post. What happen if I decide to nominate him? He gave a merit before being nominated
so we cannot imply anything, but what happens at the end of the day? If I nominate him, the vote will be counted or not?
In these questions, Gazeta BOSS, so this is a question for him.
Okay, let the baws handle this

Being serious now, as far as I understood, the situation is the following:
- fillippone nominated mendace and mendace gave him a merit
- fillippone did not nominate icopress and icopress gave him a merit.
As far as I see the situation, the result is the following:
-
fillippone's vote for mendace, will not be counted, because of the merit mendace sent to fillippone
- in case fillippone will change his vote (in the amount of time the contest will allow him to do it) and he will nominate icopress at a category, then
this vote will also not be counted.
I guess this is one of a kind contest,
where even the organizer receives a (potential) penalty, but since we are on a forum which is
so harsh that even Satoshi has been banned, when can we expect?

Excuse me, I reacted instinctively to Filippone's appointment not knowing about the merit rule. If there is a penalty I will have to accept it.
I am sorry, but the rules were stated from the very beginning... Anyway, at least, now you know them

Don't worry too much though, it's just one vote uncounted.
