Some have said that if someone deserves something, D, in virtue of having some desert base, DB, then the deserving one must be responsible for having DB (see, for example, Rawls 1971; Rachels 1978; Sadurski 1985).
We may generalize from these cases and conclude that all cases of desert are like this: if someone deserves something, D, on some basis, DB, then he or she is responsible for having DB.
Others have suggested what may be called "the Temporality Principle": if someone deserves something, D, in virtue of having a certain desert base, DB, then he or she must already have DB at the time he or she begins to deserve D (See, for example, Rachels 1978; Kleinig 1971; Sadurski 1985).
The multiplier view, understood this way, still faces objections: it entails, for example, that if someone deserves to suffer, then no matter how bad his life is (how negative his welfare level), it would always be better for him to suffer more (have an even more negative welfare level).

Someone deserving was sure to be jilted.
If you put all the other players in a sack and hit it, you would get someone who deserved it".
