The amount of funds allocated to year 1 are getting spent no matter what. I think you fundamentally don't understand the project. If we say "there's 1 million SPS allocated to year 1 of the project" and 5 people participate, they're splitting that 1 million SPS. It is absolutely imperative that we get more players not less. Ideal situation is that 1 million SPS is split amongst hundreds or thousands of players, not a handful.

Either way, just vote however you want to vote.
