Subject: Pond Question

I was wondering what people think to the idea of having ponds that would start with fewer than a minimum of 16 players. A pond with 8 people might be really interesting. What would your initial bid be? I can appreciate that a pond with 3 people at the beginning would only have one round that would really matter, but 6 or more, for instance, might be pretty challenging.

Just wondering...

Heluvagi: i would like that a lot.
With a large number of people, many rounds are not interesting, because there is always someone who forgets to bid and falls out. Often half the rounds are kind of random, and then whoever happens to have the strongest position is already winning.
