From what was posted here i was under impression pandas demanded big provs in Jesters to be droped.

Making sure Jesters dont have capacity to backstab Pandas seems reasonable.
Not to mention those provs might end up farming out to pandas competition, I would expect that to be major issue here.

Its surprising how people feel Jesters should be treated with gloves though.
They are not victims here ... pandas are.
Price Jesters paid might be steeper than they expected, but their proclaimed goal is acomplished.

They made sure to slow pandas down, and they made sure pandas dont get to engage spartans from favorable position.
