You can have a say in what you want, but keep in mind not everyone will have the same views and acknowledging the cons of an idea is important. You also have to consider if it's viable with their system.

What makes you say that? And this confuses me..are you agreeing or disagreeing with Ghost?

and on a side note anyone here watch duck dynasty

Well...this just seems a bit unnecessary

yes i'm agreeing with ghost and just about everything i say you will find is unnecessary. as to explain my self if you get 10 people to come to a room and decide its color. between red blue or black its almost always true that maybe at the most 4 or 5 will agree with each other or some other number now if its five and up then you would will and the color would be less blue. now what happens if its five for five or four, four, two. then you would need a tie breaker that's why when taking a vote there has to be an odd number. stating that humans in there very own nature will never all agree on one simple thing.

Um..do you have any proof on this? Scientific research?

As for your example..for a colour, especially those as distinctly different as you gave..unless a person is colour-blind like myself, it would be very easy for them to agree on it.

the idea of the merit is a much bigger deal than the points given.

I dont think you get his point, the point is the points given being increased could also cause the increase of game quality. If developers get 100's of merit worthy comments because the points are now way more worth it, then im pretty sure that developer will have a much more succesful game the next time. I like the idea of increasing the AP given on merits, it would increase the amount of quality comments.

My bet is that the number of merits doled out will only increase marginally, because the standards of merits will merely rise to accommodate this sudden enthusiasm for writing reviews, as they have for the last few years.

nichodemus, either way the increase in points will cause people to go for them. If you could write a normal comment for 2 Ap, or you could write a merit worthy comment for 100 Ap, a lot more people would go for it. It would only take about 20x the amount of time, yet you get 50x as much AP. That would make it worthwile to at least go for it even if they are rare.
