There are already some people who created their alts even though the new system was implemented months ago... Let me give you an example...
Jet Cash who's already a HERO MEMBER, He created his alt Talk Merit... he's a great example for your experiment... although his account was still a newbie but he already gained enough to reach a MEMBER position... sooner or later he will also be like nullius who doesn't have any problem on ranking up...
You are right sir, making this experiment is not necessary at all since we already proved that having a low rank here in the forum is not the problem for not gaining merits, ignorance and poor attitude does.
In my opinion, as long as you know about crypto and not a shitposter here then you have a chance to earn merits. Like in the case of nullius, he was supposed to be only a Full Member according to his activity count (but actually he's a copper member) yet still be able to gain hundreds of merits. Another good example, Hugeblack once became a full member but he is now a Sr. Member.
For you OP, instead of conducting this kind of experiment by calling someone to accept your challenge, why don't you try to accept your own challenge and prove those complainants that merit system is working well.
