Do people just naturally want conflict

[Thumpalumpacus]

Wasn't necessary.

Seems like it would be, just to make sure everyone got their money’s worth. If you were being paid ‘$8.27 a day to kill people’, they you shouldn’t have been paid on those days when you didn’t kill people.

In fact, since $8.27/day is about $250 per month, if you killed your quota of thirty people in one day, you should either get a raise or be given the rest of the month off.

On the other hand, if you didn’t kill anyone for an entire month, your pay could have been docked. That’s a pretty good incentive to keep your kill count high.

The balance is paid out for being on-call.
