If you're reading this, you may already know how to get these merits, but if you DON'T, then it's your lucky day! This is not a guide, it's just a small reminder of the few merits that are easy to obtain. These will be honors, not medals, and the easiest ones IN MY OPINION. If you want to add in the comments, please do. Difficulty level of the merit is reflected by the color of the title.
Red - Easiest. You can do it immediately with minimal cost.

Orange - Easy. Requires Coordination, but fairly easy.

Green - Expensive. Can be done immediately, but it'll cost you. (Over 500k)

Blue - Takes time. Simple, but it'll take you a while.

Purple - Barely made the list. A little complicated, by you can do it!

1. Lovestruck - defeat a married couple
-All you have to do is defeat monkey_D and Left4Dead12 one right after the other

2. Clotted - hospitalize yourself
-buy and use Ipecac Syrup (Under $80,000)
-you can also use the wrong kind of blood, but that requires education

3. Gone Fishing - be defeated by a trout
-attack pops333 and lose. You have to let him beat you, so try to use fists if you think you might beat him.
-If you have any additional questions, here is the original thread
Gone Fishing Original Post

4. Zero Liability - Recover a card skimmer with at least 250 details

- go to crimes, then to Card Skimming, then find the bus station
- install a skimmer at the Bus Station and leave it there for three weeks

5. Pious - Give $100,000 to the church
- (And there's another merit for $1,000,000)

- Can be all-in-one or cumulative

6. Domino Effect - kill someone displaying this honor
- kill L3Milk. He's got pretty bad stats, so should be a pretty easy kill

7. Double Dragon - assist in an attack (wastes 25e)
- find an easy target and a buddy
- click 'attack', but don't attack them
- have your buddy attack and kill them
-(Or just attack an NPC with the loot rangers)

8/9. Going Postal and Friendly Fire - kill a co-worker and factionmate, respectively
-you should have at least one coworker or factionmate that's weaker than you... hopefully.

10. Leonidas - get a finishing hit with a kick
- Take introduction to self-defense
- Take 'Kick-boxing'
- Kill a noob with a kick


I may or may not update this as I read the comment section, so you should read the comments after this to see more easy merits.

15. Phoenix - defeat someone right after they defeat you
-Find a friend with about equal stats to your own. Have them defeat you, either by hosping and medding out with low health, or letting them win by unequipping everything.

16. Foot Soldier - beat 10 unique opponents in Russian Roulette.
- Many players will do a RR match for as little as possible just to play, so you can set 10 RR matches for about $10 each. $10k if you're impatient.

17. Deadly Duo - attack and defeat an opponent with your spouse
- Get a spouse. Forget about gender norms because all that matters are the monetary benefits. (Don't quote me on that)

- Coordinate an attack on a noob. One person starts the attack, then the other person joins and beats them.

 

18. Yoink - mug someone who just mugged someone else

- Have a friend who's worse than you mug someone

- Mug them

 

19. Guardian Angel - defeat someone as they're attacking someone else

- Have a friend attack someone, but don't defeat them
- Defeat them before they finish the attack

20. Wholesaler - sell 1000 points on the market
- Buy a few points, maybe around 25 or 50, and sell them
- Repeat the process 20 to 40 times
- Fast if you're willing to take a loss, nearly no cost if you're willing to take it slow

21. Landlord - Rent out a property to someone
- I would place this under orange, but it's so simple it's red.
- Buy a trailer
- Go to the trailer under properties and press rent out. Make it free to rent.
- Ask someone to rent it.

22. Historian - Read a chronicle
- Go to the newpaper
- Click on chronicles
- Open any chronicle
- Stay on for 15 minutes

23. Who's Frank? - Take 50 Cannabis
- Pretty self-explanitory
- Each Cannabis takes 1 hour and 30 minutes
- Each Cannabis costs $6000
- Total Cost: 75 hours (max) and $300k


24. Alcoholic - Drink 500 beers
- You can only use 24 a day, and that takes all your booster cooldown
- Total cost: 21 days and $350k

25. Forgiven - Be truly forgiven
- Pray everyday for two weeks.
- Just to be safe, pray two times a day, once in the morning and once at night
- Total cost: 14 days, 140 energy

- If you go more than 24 hours without praying, the whole cycle resets. You will inevitably need to do it more than 14 times unless you're perfect on your timers

26. Eco-Friendly - Dump 5000 items
- Currently under development, old method is now unavailable

27. Finale - Defeat someone on the 25th turn

29. Flatline - attack and kill a player from full health
- Find a noob with full heath
- Kill the little bugger
- Feel no regret or remorse

30/31/32. Semper Fortis, Manu Forti, and Vae Victus - defeat someone a lot better than you
- Kill someone with 5x your stats
- If you have less that 550k stats, kill penguinbob. He's got crazy strength but nothing else.
- If you have more than 550k stats, it's gonna cost you a lot of money. Must suck to be successful, huh?

33. Carnage -  Complete a hit that gets your faction at least 10 respect
- Pop a Xanax. Kill 10 people.
- Only applies if you're in a faction.
- Also counts for Kill Streaker 1

34. Riddled - Hit an opponent in 10 different body parts and win in a single attack
- Attack a noob using only your fists
- If you kill it too fast, find a stronger noob and repeat

35. Invictus - Successfully defend against someone with double your stats
- Like any and all problems in Torn, this can be solved with money or friendship
- Find (or pay) someone with double your stats and have them lose

36. Self Defense - Win 50 defends
- Wow, you really haven't gotten 50 defends yet? What a loser. Thankfully in Torn, no one is stronger than money. You can buy losses in the Attacking Forum.
- Make a post about buying losses. 250k per loss will do if you want it fast, but lets be honest, people are desperate and will do it for less. 
- Pay immediately when people lose or suffer the flood of bounties and hate mail.

- Remember to delete your post when you're done or the flood will keep coming.
- It'll end up costing you about 12 and a half million for 50 defends.

37. Blood Money - Make $1 Mil in a single mugging
- Have a friend hold $15 mil
- Mug them
(- Or use the scumbag method: Buy mugging)

38. Vengeance - Successfully preform a faction retaliation
- Don't know the specifics, so someone fill me in.
- Have someone (or wait for someone) to attack your factionmate.
- Hospitalize them (the attacker, not the factionmate)
- I think it has to be within 5 minutes of the initial attack. 

39. Boss fight - Participate in the defeat of a lootable NPC
- Find the loot ranger schedule on yata.yt
- Participate
- Also works for Double Dragon

40. Dead or Alive - Collect $10 Mil from bounties
Two methods, Easy or Safe
Safe
- Have a friend place 10 $500k bounties
- Collect them all
- Have them place 10 more
- Collect them all
Easy
- Have a friend place one $10 mil bounty for $15 mil
- Claim it as fast as humanly possible
- Liable to be stolen by another bounty hunter

41. Kill Streaker 1 - Get a kill streak of 10
- Really? You haven't gotten a kill streak of 10 yet?
- Get out there and mess some people up. Pop a Xanax if you have to.

42. Surplus - Use 100 Rounds of special Ammo
- You can find about 200 for 100 credits in the mission shop or steal them from Big Al's
- Check the items page and click 'Ammo' at the top to see what you have.
- Go on a rampage. But please leave me out of it. Or don't. I can't stop you.

43. Booboo - Go to the Hospital 250 times
- Trust me, you will

44. Souvenir - Get the perfect souvenir from overseas
- It's a random overseas item different for each player
- To find yours, go to yata.yt
- Enter your api and go to awards
- Find the Souvenir award
- Hover over the black ? to find your special item
- Get that thang

45. Pocket Money - Make an investment in the Torn City Bank
- How have you not made an investment yet?
- It's, like, one of the core feature of the game!
- Just go to the bank from the city tab and put some cash in for a week. Geez.

 

46. Lavish - Dump and item worth more than $1 Mil
- Buy an item that cost just over one mil because you're a stingy miser (mine was a small suitcase)
- Dump it from the item page.

 

47. Daddy's New Shoes - Win $100,000,000 in a game of Russian Roulette

- Have both you and a friend carry $50 mil for a game of RR
- Play over and over until you both win once
- There's a special breed of mugger that prowls the RR page, mugging the winners.
- Be smart and put your cash in a ghost trade as soon as you win or you will lose several million

48. One in Six - Win 50 games of Russian Roulette
- Keep playing
- Gamba good
- Blitz_Krieger of the future here. I've changed my mind. Gamba bad.

49. Twenty One - Achieve a Natural, Double Down, Insurance, and Six card Charlie
- A Natural is when you get 21 with your starting cards
- Doubling Down is when you bet twice your original amount, it's the button on the far left that you hit if you think you have a good hand.
- Insurance is when you bet on the dealer to get a Natural.
- A Six card Charlie is when you're dealt six cards without busting. The hardest in my opinion.
- Only bet $10 per match, no matter how 'lucky' you're feeling.

50. Fresh Start - Reset your merits
- Just bite the bullet and buy the reset. It gets more expensive every time you do it.
- First time costs 500 points or almost 19 million.

- Blitz_Krieger of the future again. I think the first reset's free now? If it is, this one may be reclassified to red.

51/52. Backdrop/Hairy - Buy a backdrop and hairstyle from the points building, respectively
- Go to the points building on the map
- Buy what you need
- Badabing, badaboom, you got yourself two new shiny merits
- If you don't have points, buy them in the Points Market

53. Radaway - Use a Nemune tablet to reduce radiation
- Buy a Nemune tablet and use it

- You are only able to use a Nemune tablet if you have need of it, so buy and use irradiated blood
- If for some reason you cannot use blood, contact the Bounty Hunters Guild and pay to be hit by someone with an irradiating weapon

54. Homing - Use Focused Scouting to find a specific target in Burglary

- Go to the crime menu, then to Burglary
- If you hit the dropdown that says "Any Residential" (or better if you're more advanced), you can pick a target
- You can select any target, but I'd recommend Beach Hut because they're silly and stupid
- Hit 'Locate' for nine nerve.
- Congrats, you've reached a new low.

55. The Affronted - Get all of the interviewers upset simultanously
- This is a whole process, so just like churchmouse, I'll drop a better guide
- Use this Fun Clicky Link

- You can tell it's fun because it's special colored

Hey that guide is very good! but i would like to add some other merits to this list:
1. Foul Play - use a dog poop item on someone (on one of ur enemies for example)
2. Stinker - use stink bombs on someone
3. Wipeout - use a toilet paper on someone
you can acquire those items at the item market, they are not cheap but anything for an easy merit right?
EigenGrau [3278579]

3. Gone Fishing - be defeated by a trout
-attack pops333 and DO NOT KILL HIM. You have to leave, so try to use fists

 

Tried attacking twice, no trout during either attack.

pops333 [1887093]

I usually have trout equipped but there are times I switch due to either a ranked war or a mission. Sometimes I forget to switch back to trout. EigenGrau's first hit was while we were doing a ranked war, one the second one he timed out without hitting me. It's hard to hit back if not hit first.
