Activity, Merit, Politeness, fMerit, Imagination, Virtue, Coins, Karma, Posts !!

I guess it is part of an April Fool's joke as there are no buttons to click to add those "FMerits", "Politeness", "Imagination" and the rest unlike the Merit system. I got to say that the joke got me as I was scrolling through some threads and I noticed a lot of new stuff under Activity and Merit, first thing I did was to visit the "Meta" section and find out there are no official announcement about the system. Also I take a quick look at my profile page and there was nothing new. I was shook at first but its all good now. Nicely done

 I have checked the forum for an announcement too but could found nothing in Meta section besides this topic.

April fools but are you sure?

fMerit - how many times you said something bad about Merit system.
Coins - special coins issued by Bitcointalk (ICO soon)
Karma- you will get karma (+ or -) for bad or good behavior on the forum
Imagination - issued by moderators, no rules attached as for now
Politeness- never try to argue with staff or other people

This is how I think it is. Do you think that I am right?  

Based on your understanding about fMerit. I really don't think that it is the basis of fMerit. So it means that you said something bad about Merit 128 times? And why the hell I have 166 fMerit in my profile? I haven't said anything bad about Merit, Seriously.
Actually, I don't know if guys also noticed it. My fMerit points decreased in unknown reason. Earlier I have 327 fMerits but now I only have 166 fMerit points.

Here's my proof.




Edit. What the   Now its back to 327  
It makes me feel like I really need to find out how the equation works, because I have no idea how it fluctuates (or it is just a bug that's why is decreased earlier).

Wow I have 6x fmerit more than my post while i didn't say bad about merit (My post is 73 right now is 74). Maybe I said in my dream

I'm not gonna lie, I actually was thinking this would be pretty cool even though it is a bit ridiculous. It is now past April first and is still there. The stuff is probably calculated using a random generator multiplied with our activity level or something. I definitely was fooled by it. To be fair though, it was April 2nd when I first saw it.

I think we should get rid of merit. Nobody uses it and it hasn't made the forum any different than the old way of leveling up. Just my opinion though.

Wao! That was a carefully and painstakingly crafted peice of joke. Honestly, I fell for it.

It's already April 2, Let's sum it up!
Threads like this can easily sort out people with broken sarcasm-meter.

Theymos' thread New new Rank Requirements' title is obviously a joke too! No one says "new new" with a straight face!
Even without the April Fools culture, members that "got it" the first time they saw those stats deserve a round of applause for having a healthy working brain,
otherwise, you need to see a psychiatrist.
