This makes sense when you assume there is a RANK (although the numbers are effectively useless meaningless...)

But I am assuming that unless a pirate gets SOMETHING he will work to undermine the group's career (after all, he has nothing in his possession indicating he was part of the corrupt lab.) So I would think everyone might need to keep at least 1 laster to buy their silence.

Still, my head hurts, this problem is silly, and I'm going to do something else now. Wowzer, I wish you'd posted 20 minutes earlier!
