    Yeah...but what are the family memebers' names? That was always half the fun when you left a gravestone with some whacky name on it.

    That's not being bad at it though, that's just efficiency. Sure some may show up to the end having wasted energy carrying unnecessary goods but you used the entirety of your resources, including man power to achieve your goal. That's how winners play.
