How about this proposal for left-over squares?
Let them be pledged to OpFTH, and whoever adopts that square does so on behalf of OpFTH. For those who are squeamish about sending premiums to OpFTH, how about a winning OpFTH square be worth 5 everyday smokes, so that players designated to pay that winner off will send 5 everyday cigars rather than two premiums? The Pledge for that square will pay off with two premiums if it loses to a player, or send 5 everyday cigars if it is designated to send to a winning OpFTH square. Players designated to pay off a winning OpFTH square will send 5 everyday smokes, not 2 premiums.
I'll sign up for 3 of the open squares left, if they'll be designated for donation to OpFTH should they win. If a OpFTH square is a winner, and my sponsored OpFTH square is selected to pay off the winner, I'll send 5 everyday smokes. As a sponsor of an OpFTH square, I'll pledge 2 premiums (not 5 everyday) when that square is designated to pay a winning player off.
That's pretty confusing.
Had a feeling X would have a hard time filling this thing.
Keeping it simple, if you have to payout 2 premiums even if it hits, why not just add the square to your collection as opposed to having people send 5 regulars for every square you bought if it hits?
IMO, not every contest needs to have OpFTH in it. There's plenty where it makes sense, but in this case, I don't think it makes a lot of sense.
This will just make a huge mess of the payouts if one of them hits. Also, how do you decide who gets to send regulars vs premiums?
