Please be aware that this can happen to you!
i had ~9,600 limit points and 2 merit points. i went to do a few streetsweeper 3 [sandoria s] campaign ops to get my merit. so i get ~500 limit points past my merit and go inside my mog house to spend my 3 merits only i dont have 3 merits! i have 2! WTF! so i call GM#1 and this moron has the balls to tell me you cant even get limit points in campaign ops. wow, idiot. anyways, as i am explaining what happened to him he blows me off and tells me he has other calls to deal with and end the conversation.
GM#2 tells me to run a file check and then call another GM if the merit isn't there.
GM#3 files a bug report with the development team for me (and says i should also do so in the comment and suggestion section) and profusely apologizes for basically losing 10K of exp and for the first crappy GM.
