Announcing the 🦊 Vulpine Order of Merit 🦊

[Jet Cash]

Wow - thanks for that, and it is a great surprise. 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.

Here is my entry for the dance contest.

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.

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.

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

An excellent choice!

I'm still playing with my domain names, and I added a cooment about the Vulpine Order of Merit on my embryonic site - Foxy Talk
You can see the paragraph here - Vulpine Order of Merits at Foxy Talk

I'll expand on that as I sort out all these domains. Let me know if you want me to put anything specific on there. I'll probably add a descriptive page with a link back some time soon.

You can only send 50 merit to a given user per 30 days. You have already sent 50 merit to that user.

After much tail-bristling anticipation, the Vulpine Order of Merit now has its second member: achow101

As one of the few remaining helpful people on this forum, it should come as no surprise that achow101 has easily surpassed all expectations of meritorious posting and achieved the highest award for same.

Now, everybody dance!

[Jet Cash]

Congrats to Achow - a very well deserved award.

Achow is an extremely helpful and knowledgeable member of the forum.

🦊 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).*

Call me a skeptic but I suspect this is a thinly veiled guise for KYC verification.

It's happening again! It gives me great pleasure and other such feelings to announce the third member of the Vulpine Order of Merit: gmaxwell

Not only is gmaxwell one of, if not the, foremost remaining minds here, he incomprehensibly persists in using his vast knowledge to combat the endless streams of FUD, trolling, and Dunning-Kruger stupidity that now plague this once great forum. We shall now take this opportunity to celebrate his supreme dedication to excellence.

Yes, that means everybody dance!

[Jet Cash]

Congrats to gmaxwell. I'm sure we all  appreciate the help that he gives to many of us, and the fact that he stays with us. He is an asset for the forum.

[LFC_Bitcoin]

How I long to be seated alongside such greats as Jet Cash, achow101 & gmaxwell. It’d be a lifetime ambition to be in such esteemed company.

I didn't expect to see so many so soon, but we have another one! The fourth member of the Vulpine Order of Merit is hilariousetc!

The first non-Legendary user to claim this illustrious title, hilarousetc has surpassed all expectations of an ordinary alt account to become extraordinary; no longer a mere Hero Member, for the greatness of the Vulpine Order of Merit transcends and exceeds all other ranks and titles (except that of Lamborghini Member, of course).

Everybody dance!

After over a month of nothing happening, the Vulpine Order of Merit finally has its fifth member: theymos

As the most merited user in the history of the merit system, it was really only a matter of time before our benevolent dictator joined the ranks of the forum's most meritorious users thereby gaining the recognition he truly deserves.

You all know the drill by now!

[Jet Cash]

The excitement of finding another source of merits.

Wow, you sure give a lot of merit to legendary merit sources who don't need it....

...


You had me at WD-40 though. I do buy that stuff by the gallon..
Lucky Jet Cash snagged it.. I'd be a buyer at about $10 a gallon if you want to liquidate some of that fine liquid you have there

[Tszunami98]

I am going to take a wild guess here and predict that the next member will be a legendary one that does not actually need your merit...

It's not about needing merit, it's about deserving it! If we'd give merit to anybody who "needs" it, the merit system would become useless.

That's why we call them merits, not needits.

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.

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!

[o_e_l_e_o]

Oh my! I'm going to stick to my originally suggested celebratory dance! Wa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pow!

I am both shocked and honoured to be the first senior member amongst such distinguished and esteemed company. I will continue to fight stupidity with cold, hard facts wherever and whenever I can.

Also, I pick the Mystery Box! I will also accept the estimsted value of the Mystery Box in BTC.
