I still do not understand. My wall segment cost 0 silver, because I smelted iron and made steel. I dont buy anything. The only problem is the amethysts, but we are just discussing it right now.

Maybe I can find more money if someone more experienced and a famous will implement this fund. Obviously, I do not succeed collect money, people will not trust me.

Have a look at implicit opportunity cost. If the materials you use for the iron wall could have been sold for 2.5k, then the wall effectively cost you 2.5k, whether or not you ever had that silver. Probably a bit more as you could have spent the time building that wall on collecting more silver.

My point was that if you have already advanced to the stage of building iron walls, then you should be able and willing to contribute way more than 500.

Maybe, but I do not want. I'll pay the full price, and everyone will enjoy the bloodmoon. Someone will get more amethysts than me. Therefore, I propose to divide cost at all.

Compare it to fine dining.

The best restaurants do not list prices, because if you have to ask the price, you cannot afford it.

That's nice of you.
