When you look you find below, top and in between. 

The more you do the more they want. Even if it is your blood. You would think " if I give my all I will get a greater reward"  no no in the pirate world. the more you give the more you become a problem to others who can't keep up and now look bad. The only ones who wish you could give more is the wench and the wife, even then you don't always get the reward you want , well sometimes you do .
