COMPLAINING HIS UNFAIR LOCKING

Mike couldn't help but grumble and complain under his breath as the Men explained the rules. His Smartboi® Monitor vibrated persistently, warning him of his infractions. "This is so unfair," he muttered. "I shouldn't even be locked in the first place."

Scotty, who had been through this before, leaned over and whispered, "Mike, you need to stop complaining. The more you do, the worse it gets."

Mike's frustration only grew as he saw his points plummet on the Smartboi® Monitor. The device now showed -50 Cage Coins, each complaint and grumble having deducted 10 points. In a fit of anger, Mike shouted, "This is absurd! How am I supposed to—"

One of the Men turned his stern gaze towards Mike. "Quiet!" he commanded. "Every time you complain, you lose more points. Negative points are recorded as debt, and you must earn positive points to pay it off. The more you talk back, the deeper in debt you will go."

Mike's heart sank. His initial complaints had already landed him in significant debt. The Men suggested he say, "Master, I'm sorry," to pause the deduction of points.
