Forums → The Tavern → The best way to earn merits

I somehow think this doesn't belong in this section!

I have not wrote any merit worthy comments but if I did I'd probably do this.

You could probably do more but I'd do taht!

Write an exceptional good and grammatical right comment on a game, or win one of the contests in the art section.

As for the comment, try not to be all to clingy with the order and what to write, just make it organized and constructive.

I get my merits by doing fancy words and a long post. For example:

~~~~~~~~~~~~(Game name)~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I think (Game name) is pretty good. There are some ups and down....Ect
~~~~~~~~~~~~Graphics~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
(Talk about graphics, what you liked and didn't like)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Music~~~~~~~~~~~~
(If there was no music, say thy need music! )
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Controls~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
(Are the controls hard to remember? Cleverly designed?)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Gameplay~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
What did you enjoy about the game? (This should be the longest one)

~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~Overall~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~
What rating did you give this game?

That usually gets alot of people another merit.

Hope this helped.

I take one of those schematic set-ups for merit writing, and base a text off of them. Meaning, not starting each section off with writing 'Graphics', 'Sound', etc...
I try to cover every aspect I find relevant for the game I'm reviewing, and stick to giving constructive criticism, not just liked this/disliked that things. Suggestions.

I've only done that twice, and one of those times it was on an old game (that I assume haven't been checked by a mod since then), but the other gave me a merit...
I don't write for the merits anyway...

Being original is key... I wouldn't advise going around using the same format. Maybe the same topics, but not format. I haven't gotten a merit yet, but I'm sure with writing a paragraph or more should do the trick!

i have tried to get merits, but i will take fst6's advice

This is my way!!

I lost it but somehow someone managed to copy it and posted in his/her abut.

:A merit needs to be well written and needs to explain in detail what you think about it.I suggest to do the following for a good merit comment.
Fill the ones below whit at least 3 sentences for a good length.

NOTE:Just fill the ones you want.
