The whole Merit system hasn't been working great. On the one hand, spammers often manage to get merit; but on the other hand, very-good posters sometimes struggle to get any. Therefore, we're going to switch to a totally-skill-based method of ranking-up: pMerit.
You are joking here but this might be a very good idea. Poker is partially a skill based game and I really agree with the idea that those who manage to get merits that way, are somehow skilled and deserve it 
I'm partially joking and partially really mean this Really, I mean, really thank you very much to both of you guys and theymos. It's very funny and nicely done. Please, leave this game, don't remove it after 1st April, let us play together for a while at least, it's a very beautiful way to strengthen the relationship of the community. We can play, chat with each other and have some fun.
