No, because I intend the bonus to be bumped up or down based on your success in persuading them to support you. Five Devotees are worth 20 lay-members'-worth of support *if* they do what you'd expect them to.

Many, many apologies if my post became useless to you without this additional work. Foolish of me to try to contribute on the fly. Must Try Harder.
