To Our Gracious Benefactors,
My associates and I have been accepting and completing contracts for mercenary work in Molden Heath for a length of time that approaches the distinction between months and years. We have given our clones' lives repeatedly and caused no end of pain and economic damage to our assigned enemies and have often been well rewarded for it; our motives lie outside of a simple desire for more wealth, and rather lie in the realm of knowledge and fair trade. We have been completing our contracts on blind faith for far too long. True, you always pay, but how much I am to receive seems decided arbitrarily. Do you throw your ISK in the air while standing in a circle and whatever lies inside it is the battle's payout?
After considerable deliberation, my associates and I have decided upon terms to deliver to you. No longer will we work for 'voodoo contracts'; we demand a legible document that delineates how our pay is determined for any given battle so that we may better optimize our performance to meet your desires. Let us know your will and have it be done as best as our forces can perform. If you wish that the enemy be bled of finances, give us a breakdown of what percentage of enemy resources wasted will be repaid upon us. Do you wish installations be preserved in combat zones? If we were to know that we could strive to leave the combat zone better than we found it. Do you wish that, for a bonus, we eliminate the enemy's clone reserves while leaving their MCC intact? Make it known and see your will be done.
Have we not shown that we are intelligent and capable employees? Do not worry that your complex finance algorithms would be too complex for us to comprehend. We will calculate the null geodesics and combinatorics involved in the transport of a clone through a drop uplink if you pay us well enough, and that is our ultimate goal; to know how to be paid well enough.
Yours truly,
Brynjar Reko

It was less a request for throwaway terms like "A portion" or "a larger share" and more a demand for actual contracts with cold hard numbers, none of this smoke and mirrors. It wouldn't be that hard I'm sure.
It was also a call to perhaps have fluid contracts; maybe some aspects of a battle are more important from one contract to another. Perhaps battles could be differentiated and spiced by these slightly different contracts. This would come into play in interesting ways if players could put out contracts. |

Point 2 that you quoted doesn't say what you, personally get. It says how the total payout value is calculated. Winning team has a larger share of the destruction value applied on their side, and losers get the rest. Then that result is divided between players on the team based on their WP earnings.
That's how I read it based on the parts I put in bold.
I believe it is based on time spent in battle, rather than specific WP earnings. Or at least that is what that 2nd Point's writing would have me believe.
