Reason:

This debate is rather conventional until round 3, where both sides made completely new approaches to the issue. Crocodile argues that since Merit is, in fact, a resource, it could not be more valuable than resources itself. While PRO stated that merit is what makes resources valuable, CON counters it by stating that Resources makes merit possible, and that still doesn't negate merit being a resource. Overall I find CON's argument more convincing.

CON forfeited, which loses conduct.

Anybody can report this vote if they don't find my vote just. However, I consider my vote sufficient.
