It's sad that there could be an ulterior motive behind running this game for the community.
Personally, I think that Merit shouldn't be given that way. Just what's the point? Will someone's post quality improve by playing that game? I think that just gives spammers the possibility to rank up and there is a bright example in front of us how someone used that moment wisely but failed.If a member with hardly any posts worth reading and hardly anything positive to contribute to the forum starts a Get Merits thread, that is highly suspicious. When members with little to no history or contributions or newbies miraculously find themselves on that thread receiving merits then that too is highly suspicious.
When the same members are repeatedly given merits seconds after the next game is posted because again they are miraculously online at the correct time, then that too is highly suspicious. Also, what makes it more fascinating is that almost none of the games were posted at the time deadsea33 announced, they were taking place later yet miraculously certain members were there posting and collecting merits.
That is either too many miracles in one thread or something suspicious is definitely going on.
Nothing is suspicious, everything is logical.When the same members are repeatedly given merits seconds after the next game is posted because again they are miraculously online at the correct time, then that too is highly suspicious.

This was a very funny excuse by the way:

@_Hiloveua_ You gave great answers, you have already got 50 merits from this word game. The merit of the correct answers you have given in round 14 cannot be sent to you now, maybe it is the merit system of the forum, one forum user cannot send more than 50 merits to another user in 30 days.
Don't worry friend, I will save all the correct answers from round 14 to the last round. And after 30 days I will send all your correct answer merits.
Don't worry friend, I'll send you another merits too after 30 days, what a funny Don't worry friend, I will save all the correct answers from round 14 to the last round. And after 30 days I will send all your correct answer merits.
Also, _Hiloveua_ guessed too many complicated words and member names. Guy also found out that merits are easily given in Wall Observer thread and was posting nonsense there before that thread. Sorry but I don't believe that he isn't an alt of someone.
