You can only send 50 merit to a given user per 30 days. You have already sent 41 merit to that user.
Hey! Does that mean I'm missing out on at least 9 Merit now? Sad That makes me the Vulpine Order of Merit Member with the most missed Merits, which is ironic, as I'm pretty sure you've been closer to 50 before!

It was obviously only a matter of time before everyone's favourite stastician earned the Merit Cycling Club's highest honour. Many have wondered when this time would come, and I'm pleased to say that the time of wondering is over and the time of celebration has begun.

I’m striving for that to be honest.

I gave you 5 merits. I was going to give them to Crypto Hunter, but I didn't want to be accused of favouritism.

Haha, thanks man. Just noticed my Merit score fly up & wondered where from. I really appreciate it Jet Cash.

Terminated.
My speech is going to be kept short.

I am absolutely honoured to receive this prestigious award. Obviously I'm compelled to first thank my husband for his unwavering support and love; secondly, I'd like to thank my cult which has served their Queen very well over its short existence. I’m also very grateful for knowing Fox, someone been by my side throughout most major events: Everything from the coup d’etat attempt by Gavin and Hearn all the way until the most recent fake accusations; the gratitude also goes towards many other friends and family who have been colluding with the Supreme Leader and me for many years now. Writing is not something that I'm very good at when I'm not on my pills, but at least I’m certain that the great Order will benefit from having a witch in it.

Despite (or perhaps because of) repeated allegations that everybody here (including myself) has been taking the suggestion of Goethe's Götz von Berlichingen in respect to our dealings with Lauda, the time has come for the forum's most infamous feline to receive some much-deserved recognition for intrinsic merit.

Congratulations Lauda for becoming the 10th holder of this prestigious award.

Foxpup, I have a question though. Are you suggesting Lauda is on heat with your gif? Are you trying to take advantage of this by bestowing her with your award?

I'm on to the 4th one this month. Something about an "unknown but highly toxic respiratory disease". Please advise.
Monsanto products have never been conclusively linked to any specific disease, and have not resulted in any confirmed deaths. It's probably just a coincidence.

What's the etiquette here, should I first thank the Academy, or my family, or the Supreme Leader for instituting the merit system in the first place, and making the Sun shine on the forum every day?

I haven't read all the latest drama yet so for all I know I might be already removed from DT, Legendary ranks, post reporters, and every other position of perceived power. When I click the Post button I might find that I've already been banned. Because someone here told me yesterday that this will happen and I trust the intertubes. But winning this membership in Foxpup's exclusive club and the awesome prize (more on that later) has made it all worth it, particularly so because I excluded myself from running early on due to aversion to dancing. Therefore the extent of my acceptance dance is this:



Nevertheless, I'm tremendously honored and I intend to make the best use of this new position of power. Which I assume means crushing every debate by throwing around my new title and generally acting like more of an asshole than I already was. I'm also quite sure - although I haven't tried it yet - that I can ban plagiarists and other people I don't like with merely a stony stare of a Vulpine Order of Merit member, which will come in really handy. I'm gonna try that on my kids, that what they're for - mowing the lawn and medical experiments (o_e_l_e_o, that's not an invitation to lecture me on human medical experimentation). Speaking of kids, I'm gonna need to cut my speech short because my fingers still hurt from all the papercuts I suffered yesterday helping Santa with gift-wrapping.

Oh and the prize... I'm gonna take the slice of Black Forest gâteau made with genuine Black Forest kirsch because it's got foreign words in it so it must be good.

The ninth member of the Vulpine Order of Merit is suchmoon!

While some will surely complain of favouritism and even more unsavoury forms of impropriety, the fact remains that suchmoon has repeatedly proven to be objectively better than everyone else in every way, though mostly in the way of eviscerating shitposters, which this forum could really do with more of (evisceration, not shitposting).

I still don't get what Vulpine Order of Merit Award is and I am still understanding this newly introduce thing (on my mind it is another merit rewarding topic).. ^_^

It's all quite straightforward, the forum only allows a member to send 50 merits to another user in a one month period, so after exceeding this, the user can no longer be rewarded with merits for that month.
In such a situation the user would get inducted into the Vulpine order merits.

It's not a merit rewarding topic, but a recognition topic for elite and quality posters.

Ohhh.. Now I get it ... It has cleared my mind.. Thank You ! ^_^ But isn't it hard for members to rank up the sooner? because of this it will limit the merits that will be given to a user.. For thousand of users in this forum that will be a little hard.. This will be another challenge for me and for other users to post more quality and meaningful post that could really provide a good reason for someone to send you a merit.. ^_^

Unfortunately, the rabbit is already dead, for reasons that are unrelated to the fact that I am covered in blood. Why is everyone looking at me like that? It totally died of natural causes. What? Predation is natural.

Welcome to the SaltySpitoon, how Tough are ya?
As I continue to ramble through this piece of prose disguised as an acceptance speech, thinking about nothing but cookies, and how many I could eat before I reach serious consequences, I find myself googling how many cookies it takes to overdose. I scan the related topics, as no one is stupid enough to have asked or answered this same question before,

The median lethal dose or "LD50" of sugar has been ascertained to be just shy of 30 grams per kilogram of body weight in rats.1 Assuming your weight to be 80kg (adjust as necessary), then you need to eat 2.4kg of sugar in one sitting to have a 50% chance of dying. Given that your average chocolate chip cookie has 32g of sugar per 100g,2 then we are looking at consuming 7.5kg of cookies in one sitting. Given that sugar concentrations in the blood maintain a peak level for only around 10 minutes after consumption,3 and the average cookies weighs around 12g,2 then 7.5kg of cookies in 10 minutes works out at 1 cookie every 0.96 seconds for 10 minutes without a break or time to drink. Good luck.


If a company is selling rat poison made specifically for human consumption, it is pretty well understood that the business would fail, as not too many people would be interested in poisoning themselves for a good time.

Hate to be "that guy", but there are literally millions of people around the world who take rat poison made specifically for human consumption on a daily basis, in the form of a drug called warfarin.4

Also, welcome to the club! I'm still awaiting my delivery of the deadly mist though, so don't hold your breath (pun intended) for your bunny.

Let the entertainment commence!




Wow, I don't know what to say. When I was told that I won this award, the first thing I thought was, wow, do I really deserve this? I still haven't come to a conclusion about that, mainly because I'm not entirely certain what this award is for. Something to do with selling the most cookies perhaps? In that case, I certainly do not deserve this award. If I was given thousands of boxes of cookies to sell, not only would I be deep in debt and in diabetic shock, but I'm sure I'd feel pretty lousy as well, and in no condition to offer my acceptance speech to this, what I've chosen to consider as a prestigious award. But I digress. As I continue to ramble through this piece of prose disguised as an acceptance speech, thinking about nothing but cookies, and how many I could eat before I reach serious consequences, I find myself googling how many cookies it takes to overdose. I scan the related topics, as no one is stupid enough to have asked or answered this same question before, and see link after link to FDA guidelines on added sugar intake, information on tree nut allergies, and advertisements and purchase opportunities for those very cookies to which I was searching the intake threshold before deadly consequences are met. You know, its not very gracious of advertising results of this nature to pop up in response to this search criteria. Its sort of like putting a Budweiser sign right outside of an AA meeting place.

It is very important for advertisers to balance the effectiveness of their advertisements with the moral obligations that they must uphold as a business. Throughout history, with only a handful of product types has it been acceptable for the industry to blatantly operate against the public's well being. Of course, there is the subject of personal responsibility to consider, but where do we draw the line? If a company is selling rat poison made specifically for human consumption, it is pretty well understood that the business would fail, as not too many people would be interested in poisoning themselves for a good time. However, the alcohol and tobacco industry have somehow found a way to avoid the bans of products that are considered harmful to humans. Perhaps its because of human history. Its hard to ban something that is so deeply ingrained in human history and culture, as such that it would become a standard of social interaction, as is the case with alcohol. I'm not for the second coming of prohibition of course, but its just a thought that I've considered every so often. Why ban trans fats, but not tobacco products? Neither have any redeeming qualities for health, and moderation with either helps to mitigate risks of sure to come ailments, but it does not root out the problem. If I had to cap this idea with a final thought, I suppose its, why ban trans fats? If we are trustworthy enough to moderate ourselves with products laced with addictive chemicals, why can't we make our own decision on how many cookies to eat? Remember when Maccas fries were actually decent? And now the restaurant's modus operandi is to get customers in through the door with the lure of free public restrooms, only to corner them with greasy 6% meat patties, bleached flour, and enough salt to make a salt merchant wealthy.

People should be held accountable for their own choices. Get emphysema from smoking? Well, hey that sucks but I'm sending you no condolences. Get it from working in a mine? My condolences. Eat cookies every day and get fat? I'd recommend you make sure a doctor says you are alright health wise. Cut back on the cookies, or exercise more if you need to. If you don't need to, or just are willing to deal with the health risks, again you get no condolences from me, but you do you.

Find that balance of, thats enough heath, and I'd like another cookie!




Congratulations on meeting the high standards of excellence I have set for this honour. You may now claim one of the following prizes*:

I'm damn honored to accept this here no-prize and would in fact make a long babbling acceptance speech, but my cat knocked over my internet so I have to use my dumbass smartphone and my thumbz is too big.  Took me damn near 2 hours just to write what I just wrote.  

Then the screen window fell out where the internet lives and my cat is now missing.  Ought to be out there looking for her, but I felt compelled to express my gratitude up in this bitch first.  Oh wait,  cat just jumped back in, looks spooked out of her mind.

I'm just pleased as punch to announce that the Vulpine Order of Merit now has its seventh member: The Pharmacist

Since the very beginning of the Vulpine Order of Merit, The Pharmacist has always been a strong candidate, his only flaw being that he's just too damn consistent with his meritorious posts, managing to spread them out evenly month to month, never quite accumulating enough in any single month to become eligible for membership in the Order. Until now, that is. Having finally crossed the threshold, it is now time to celebrate the momentousness of his achievement.

It is slightly less guaranteed to be harmless to humans and other large mammals. Use only in a well-ventilated area. Do not use if you are pregnant, trying to get pregnant, or trying to get others pregnant. Deadly mist is derived from 100% natural and organic plant-based toxins.

You lose! The sixth member of the Vulpine Order of Merit (and the second non-Legendary one) is o_e_l_e_o!

One of the few sane people in the asylum that is Politics & Society, valiantly struggling to stem the tide of ignorance, stupidity, and downright craziness that flows so freely there. Such efforts deserve to be rewarded, even if they are ultimately futile, which is why o_e_l_e_o is no longer a mere Senior Member; the illustrious title of Member of the Vulpine Order of Merit precedes that rank.

You know what to do!

Your choice of words is interesting.  What, exactly constitutes a "need" for merit?

Yes, the question is rhetorical; there is no need for merit.  This forum is unique in that it has created its own economy.  Apparently many have mistaken the intent of the forum, and seem to believe the economic system is the purpose for the forum’s existence.  That’s the problem the merit system intends to resolve.

I was about to suggest that it should be awarded to achow, as he provides much more technical help thn I do, and I think this is one of the primary functions of Bitcoin Talk.
There is no limit on how many users may be awarded the Vulpine Order of Merit. A few more meritorious posts from achow101 within the next week is all it will take for him to become the second member of what will then be able to be classified as a group.

Here is my entry for the dance contest.

Impressive. Those low-poly, joint-collapsing moves will be tough to beat!

I claim the 55gallon drum of WD40, and I would be grateful if you could hold this in trust for me until I am able to embark on my world tour in my converted camper van. I haven't started the conversion yet, so departure may be a few years away.
An excellent choice!

I thought the same, but I'm willing to do it if I can dance on my 55-gallon drum of WD-40.

However, that lifetime supply of WD-40 is appealing to me for reasons I can't put into words.
The amount of duct tape required to fix what it loosens will be beyond imagination.


This is the longest post I ever made on my phone. If that doesn't show appreciation, I don't know what will. Unless, of course, it's rewarding my first merit from my phone.

Given that all Order of Merits also present their recipients with a medal to wear, it seems only fitting that you would present any recipients with an avatar to wear – something like a medal, but with a vulpecular feel to it. May I present my 60 second photoshop job for consideration:

Recommended but not required. There is no dress code. Even nude dancing is permitted (indeed, encouraged).

I had to look up "vulpine", as I don't recall ever hearing that term.  Makes sense now in this context, and best of luck trying to award someone with this.  50 merits in a month is no joke.

It's only been a few hours. It may take days or even weeks for someone to become eligible. This is a highly exclusive award, and I don't expect to award it more than once every few months, if ever. I'm announcing the eligibility criteria now so that everyone can prepare for the historic moment when an exceptionally outstanding user rises to the occasion.

I'm confused... what do I have to do to get the game rabbit burrito with habanero sauce?
Simply make so many meritorious posts (in areas where I will notice them) that I attempt to give you more than 50 merits in a 30-day period, which is the maximum that the forum will allow for any one user. When I am thus unable to award additional merits, I will instead award membership in this elite and illustrious order, and the spicy bunny burrito could be yours!

🦊 Vulpine Order of Merit 🦊
The forum's only (and therefore highest) award for merit!



🦊 What is it?
The Vulpine Order of Merit recognises the outstanding achievement of those rare users whose meritorious posting exceeds my ability to legitimately award merits (50 per month per user).

🦊 How do I apply?
You can't. The Vulpine Order of Merit is not open to request. I am constantly looking for good posts and will award merits and the Vulpine Order of Merit accordingly. Those who are on my admittedly large ignore list will have extreme difficulty in this regard.

🦊 What do I win?
New members of the Vulpine Order of Merit will receive their choice of a chocolate bitcoin wrapped in gold foil, a game rabbit burrito served with habanero sauce, a slice of Black Forest gâteau made with genuine Black Forest kirsch, a 55-gallon drum of WD-40, a pine cone in a bottle, or THE MYSTERY BOX which may contain any of the other prizes, all of them, nothing at all, or something else entirely (and the box itself is worth something too).*

There will also be an elaborate ceremony taking the form of a dance contest. Participation is mandatory.

*Prizes may or may not actually exist.

🦊 What other benefits are there?
Members of the Vulpine Order of Merit are permitted to use their illustrious title on their signature, profile, personal website, and anywhere else meaningless text is placed and pretended to be read. They are also entitled to an inflated sense of superiority to common shitposters, who are sure to accuse me of favouritism in awarding this title to those who actually deserve it.
