 I declare this experiment a failure.
That’s what the experiment would want us to think.

 Maybe if you message the GM he will let you apply for a junior position at the grocery store.
It'll be funny if I get to be ur boss lmao. then I could withhold you from fishing to work after hours, then eventually promote you... to HR, turning everyone against you lol. I jest of course, but it would be funny ;3

 I have no job. We’re you all given jobs?
I had to apply for mine. Remember the whole thing the GM said about role playing?

yes I do. a job, basically, it lets me do work and gain points based on that, though also limits my fishing. Since we were sticking to 2 fish anyway, I've been using my work ability to supplement my income.

Note:

I asked the GM to explain how we score points for catching fish.

He explained as follows:

"It's not x points per fish. It's diminishing returns. The first fish is worth 8 points (although 1 fish scores 7, because 0 fish would score -1). The second is worth 4. The third is worth 3. The fourth is worth 2. And the last is worth 1.
Points represent mostly money, but also general happiness. You have to spend more time fishing to get more fish, and more time to sell it, or if you eat it, the second fish isn't as good as the first. Like multiple cups of coffee."
