Suggestion: Replace the 4 pork for voting with 1 string or 1 coal

Reason: I have noticed that, progressively, voting
for the server has fluctuated in value (to the voter).
Instead of decreasing pork and voting rewards($250->$200, but still $1000 total), why not
give players materials to make a useful tool to get their own food,
as opposed to the ~melon economy~? I admit, I have come
online, on occasion, only to vote, store the pork-chops, and leave.
The same principle is used by many tycoons/presidents with lottery,
but that depends on chance. Giving pork means one of two things:

a) the pork will be immediately sold to server, or
b) the pork will be stored/eaten later.

4 pork at 45 cents each is worth $1.80, why not give a $0.50 string
instead? Meat is only native to the mining world, and is very hard to
come across. Rather than supplying a-near infinite supply of instant
food, why not make people work for their food? I thought this server was
EcoCityCraft: Major Hardcore Economy Server. Free food isn't
a common characteristic of anything "hardcore".

Any Other Information: If not string, coal is a viable alternative
as well, since it is used for a variety of purposes including cooking
and making building materials.
