There is something strange in this game, if we check the time interval between each response, we will find that it is almost equal for some accounts, even an account that tried to answer some questions, @deadsea33 described him as a scammer and refused to send meris to him.

The game was rigged and that is clear to see. It was designed to give merits to accounts deadsea33 wanted to give merits to. It also facilitated the legitimate manner in which any forum member wanted to send merits to deadsea33 for running the game/thread.

I have an internal feeling that this account is an alt account of ITExpert aka nlovric but I'm still investigating about it.

If this is true, then this user manages dozens of accounts.

Hopefully he does not have dozens of accounts but if he does we all need to work together to try to discover them.

I'm going to kind of feel like an idiot if this _hiloveua_ account turns out to be connected to a farm. I just merited them a couple hours ago in the Countdown to next rank thread. To be fair, I didn't look into their post history. I asked them to read the rules of the countdown thread and tell me why they shouldn't have posted. They answered correct so I gave them the 2 merits they needed.

Find out all the accounts connected and post the proof(real proof) and i'll have no issue tagging them.

I was going to wait a couple of days before starting this thread by collating more screenshots but after I saw the 2 merits you gave to the _Hiloveua_ account in the In Merits, Count Down To Your Next Rank... thread, I decided to create this thread prematurely.

I am preoccupied right now but as soon as I complete looking at the merits between all accounts connected to the deadsea33 account, I will tag them all if there is enough evidence. I do not blame you for not looking at their post history before giving merits because we all have done the same thing (and still do from time to time) but your generosity should not be taken advantage of.

Regarding the suspicious merit history, there's something really fishy about it and the interval in merits aren't that far and wide and the frequency is following some pattern so either it's most likely someone who has bought merits or in the unlikely circumstances, it's a troll trying to mess with people by doing merit abuse.

It seems to point very strongly towards merit abuse but one thing is unclear. Is it one puppeteer controlling all the accounts involved as part of a ranking up process on his accounts or is it a deal between other farm operators to send/receive merits between themselves in order to build up the accounts involved. That will be discovered soon.
