or the 2014 survey, how about we try this again, with the modification if enough people defect for the payout to be reduced, a good of equal market value to the reduction in payout shall be purchased and destroyed?

Or perhaps for every person that defects Yvain forces himself to listen to X minutes of some music he despises, or watch some show he hates?

I really don't want Yvain to suffer penalties because of the defection of jerks, but that's what true 'defection' must mean, that someone gets hurt. All in all, I can't advise in good conscience for the test to be repeated next year.

That's still not "true defection" though, because we all like Yvain and don't want to annoy him.
