Livestock Budget Increase Poll (Contest Members Only)

So if we went with expensive equipment to start, we now would have extra to spend on stock, but if we went thrifty on our equipement to start to allow ourselves with extra funds for livestock and our tank is now full, we cannot upgrade or add better equipment?

This latest point is mostly my fault I made the suggestion originally for the extra money to be for livestock only. However that's basically impossible since only one budget exists and it includes both equipment and livestock. So unless JDigital has something else in mind the only way to do this increase would be to increase the one and only budget which is for both equipment and livestock, but the idea was to allow for more livestock not equipment.

I also agree that if people really feel that strongly about the initial budget that they'll quit the contest we should forget about the increase. Honestly the idea was to benefit all equally and although I might argue with you all to the death if in the end you still feel no increase should take place then I guess the only fair result will be to keep things as originally decided. But remember despite some of the previous arguments this is for fun and try and think of the other people in the contest rather than just yourselves.

I don't think anyone here can be blamed for thinking only of themselves. I think we're all thinking of the fairness and the original context/guidelines of the rules.

and how to do you make it so that it's only spent on livestock..others have yet to get their water flowing.....how can you be sure that it was spent on livestock and not equipment...I say if the budget is to be increased....it is just increased...not "livestock" only...I don't think that will work out very well....in the beginning we were just given x amount of dollars...make it work or don't compete....not this much to equip this much to livestock and then upping our livestock budget.

Yes, you do have a VERY valid point, and to be honest I never really thought about that. I was thinking the extra livestock would benefit all.

Maybe everyone should just vote. When the closing date comes then we do whatever the majority wants?

Sounds simple enough to me.

[Chaloupa]

Sounds good to me Ryan.

I voted......ah well, at least with that extra $100.00 if it happens....it could be fun....but I might try to stay close to the original...just to see if I can!
