Wow, 6 pages of submissions, I really didn't expect that, just wow. In our German local board we have not a single application for the same topic. 
And I've good news, all submissions were eligible to receive Merit, so Merit is distributed so far.
Keep up the good work in writing quality posts.

On seeing this before my application, I felt I was late already. Feeling as bad haven lost opportunity of courage and upward move (as per merit increase).
But that didn't happen. OP is still encouraging more people. The joy is real, dropping a meritable post just like every other merited post.
