That was me that got screwed by the food situation that one year. But the following year was a lot better. Memo BBQ'd the year after and then we got plenty of pizza the year after.
Anyway, let me try to simplify things, the allocation of the buy in money is not the issue here, so let's stop debating that.
There's only 2 questions here, whether or not people want to join and if they are willing to up the buy in or not. Otherwise, nothing else is up for debate. There's plenty of time to decide. I've already got a couple of inquiries and one has signed up since the thread opened. Thanks!
