Any possibility to add Bounty #183 Auto Margin? I think this is real Important for a Automatic selling System.

Sadly, it didn't make the cut in the last round of voting. It missed out by 5 votes. We are on track to fund a second milestone, so lobby your fellow contributors to vote for it then, and hopefully it'll make the cut.

Yes, i know. But for me it should be in Game because ist’s so essential. Maybe you can find a Solution?

From my end, I'm not doing any work on GearCity except bug fixes and what's voted on and approved in the FBS. Beyond that, I am finished with the game, and any time spent on it distracts me from working on AeroMogul, hence why the FBS has monetary requirements and a ridged rule set. The system keeps the scope narrow and partially compensates me for lost time/opportunity costs working on AM. That allows me to justify working on it, whereas otherwise, I would walk away from the game for everything except maintenance.

So I regret to say I won't add it (or anything else) to the game unless it's approved and funded via the FBS system.

So, the solution is to vote for it and rally others to vote for it as well. Milestone #2 is solely art-focused, but Milestone #3 should have a $500 programming budget and Milestone #4 a $1000 budget.

(An observation from the previous voting, if voters focus more narrowly on what they want, they're more likely to fund that bounty than if they spread their votes around many items. Case in point, the $1000 bounty for Auto Loan Financing was funded by a single contributor putting all 90 of his votes into it. )
