As a sidenote, if you get 8 cards each week and you can send cards to everyone but yourself, wouldn't it be better to group up in 9-s (though it does leave you with no cards for social use)?

This is a good question and I am glad you asked because I didn't really explain this aspect so well. There are a few good reasons for the grouping of 8 people (7 participants+ 1 leader) instead of 9.
Design Margin - Mistakes Happen
The engineer in me dislikes designing systems to operate -at capacity-, and always includes some form of design margin. This is because mistakes happen and the system needs to be able to compensate for them. It's like a chain of christmas lights going out because one bulb burns out and then not having any spare bulbs. If we had groups of 9 then there is no margin for error. When someone inevitably sends a card to the wrong person or sends them the wrong card, there would be no way to correct for this error. Someone would get left out. With the groups of 8 everyone has a spare card. It's like having a second chance. Additionally with that many spare cards in the pool, we can compensate for groups that have members drop out entirely.
Obligation and Freedom - Striking a Balance
Conceivably participants in this event may have friends outside of their grouping whom they would like to send cards. If I made it so they could only send within their own group that would be a bit unfair to make them choose between the group and their friends. The one card margin allows players to reach outside of their group and interact with other players. This might also be useful if someone finds they are frustrated with their group in that it gives them an out to vent and hopefully prevents them from getting trapped in a 'locked-in' situation for several weeks.
Cross-group communications
This thread will provide a list of a lot of player names looking to receive cards. If you have no one you specifically want to send your spare card to, and you don't make any errors while sending to your group, then what you might consider is to use your spare card to contact someone in a different group. We're making small pairings for efficiency, but let's avoid becoming completely isolated. Say hello to your neighbors sometimes. There's no structure or rules to how this last card is used, it's totally within your freedom to do with it whatever you so desire. It may cause imbalances in the big picture, but ultimately I think that's fine. Player preferences should be allowed to be expressed in minor ways rather than stiffly enforced total equality. A totally rigid system is more likely to snap than one with a bit of flexibility. At least that's how I look at it.
And that was my basic reasoning for groups of 8 instead of 9. I hope this clears things up.
Edit: Oh, and it also leaves room to add people to groups if they come to this thread late/after its already started especially if there's not enough late comers to form a full new group.

Game Name: Maleclypse,
Stat Preference: ANY
Personal Time the Healer date : Friday (9am CST)
Preferred card sending date (or ANY). Optional: I can fill in as a group leader but there are Starveling Cat's that I fear would be more effective at it than I due to my newness to the Neath, however for Queen and Country I am available if called.

Oh, suggestion. Perhaps group leaders should get Time the Healer 1 day before the rest of their grouplings, that way they can send their cards off as a reminder.

A fantastic idea NiteBrite! I just finished grinding a lot of residence or item stuff in lieu of stat Grinding and it's time I power-level my main stat (actually behind another stat ATM.)
Game Name: the truthseeker
Stat Preference: Watchful
Time the Healer: 1500-1600 PM PST (-8GMT)
Best trading time: Any time after 1100 local/1900 PM GMT, except grinding Nobility just right before or right after TTH Fridays 1500-1600 PM local/2300-2400 GMT
(when I may be cashing in my turns on payment and MW rebuilding drawn cards/cards and turns on the location in the Nadir. But often at most 3 hours after that time I should be active again, if not earlier.)
