I am lagging even more than the last time.
I am on the lazy side of the event. There have been many times when I rushed to the forum station only to update this report.
Last time, I wasn't involved in the sprees; this time, I was barely scratched, yet I had to find a time slot to analyse this all.
I promise to be more reactive next time.
First things first!
Official @ddmrddmr thread
First, the usual the usual spreadsheet, where you see the two last sprees:

As you can see, the addition of the total merits per in the paired TICK-TOCK sprees has already underlined a new record: this is the smallest merit-circulating spree since launch.
As this last one is by far the smallest on record, either @ddmrddmr has become more efficient at distributing merits the traditional ways, or he's saving merits for later!
Merit Spree #51 by @ddmrddrmr
Official Description:
Version 51 - 25/03/2024 (76 posts merited (by me) in just over 1 minute) -> 154 sMerits
Remerited all my merited posts since my last spree (+ some backlogged pending ones), for non-banned users (up until last friday ).
My review:
TICK: This is an almost perfect reply of merit spree #50. Small-sized double-meriting spree.
Textbook TICK Spree.
Here's the TOP10:
1. d5000 24
2. Hispo 16
3. hilariousetc 10
4. darbitmobilerecovery 10
5. Don Pedro Dinero 8
6. Porfirii 6
7. mocacinno 4
7. GreenInk 4
7. franky1 4
7. famososMuertos 4
7. dominguero 4
7. Amphenomenon 4
Compared to Merit Spree #47, the numbers to enter the TOP10 are higher, which is quite usual. Only 4 merits to enter the chart, topped yet another time by @d5000, with 24 merits, getting just shy of his record of 30 in merits spree #47. Shall I start taking note of who's topping this chart more often?
That's all folks for Merits Spree 51!
Merit Spree #52 by @ddmrddrmr
Official description:
Version 52 - 25/03/2024 96 posts merited (by me) in just under 2 minutes) -> 96 sMerits
Merited all posts that:
- I have not merited before.
- Have received merits from at least five different people since february 2024.
- Are not in Services nor in WO nor in off-topic.
- Are not in thread IDs: 5253221, 5156376, 5445913, 5485091, 5485659, 5485801, 5486754
The goal is to merit post I have either ignored or not come across in boards I do not visit, and that others seem to deem merit worthy, allowing me to unload a bunch of sMerits in the process.
My review:
TOCK This second spree was by far the smallest of the bunch: roughly half the size of merit spree 48 and similar, yet smaller than 50. It was a small-sized single merit spree. As I said, maybe it is difficult to find a post satisfying the criteria, or maybe @ddmrddmr is saving merit for later, so I tend to lean toward this one.
Here's the TOP10:
1. paid2 3
1. nutildah 3
3. Moreno233 3
4. DannyHamilton 3
5. promise444c5 2
5. PowerGlove 2
5. Pmalek 2
5. LoyceV 2
5. Humblevirus 2
5. Gencecikmen 2
5. Etranger 2
5. cygan 2
5. BlackHatCoiner 2
5. apogio 2
5. $weetne$$ 2
Being a single merits spree, numbers are lower: 3 merits to top the chart and 2 to enter the TOP10.
I will start getting merit statistics for a single merits spree! So 11 merits are the highest on record for a single merits spree! (merit spree 44!), and these 3 merits are the lowest required on the record, together with spree #44, #46 and #48: wen two?
Time to call it a day!
I will work hard to be admitted back into the @ddmrddmr merit spree and be more proactive next time!
I must admit that the 50 merit spree is quite an extensive effort by our Spanish entity.
See you next merit spree!
