We revise the guarantees periodically, but we don't believe that they're far too low... nothing wrong with smashing a guarantee.... and we *do* suffer overlay all the time, every week in fact. It probably doesn't happen as often as players would like, of course... probably can't. 
The current plan is to run MicroMillions 3x per year, evenly spaced between the *COOPs... the next one is November 15-25; the schedule for it received final approval only days ago. With the first one, we confirmed what we suspected/believed - that micro tournaments are hugely popular and that there's plenty of room for such a series!
The Isle of Man is a unique place. If you come here with certain expectations, I suppose you could call it depressing and/or disappointing. If you're the sort of person that needs a city-style atmosphere with huge exciting shows, plays, major sports, etc... you're gonna have a bad time until you learn to adjust. If you want to raise a family in a safe environment with great schools and people who treat each other well, you couldn't come to a finer place. I've lived in 4 countries, including 11 U.S. states, and there is no place among all of them that I'd rather raise my young children than the Isle of Man.
Of course, Seasonal Affective (Affected?) Disorder may be an issue here during the winter, I suppose. I haven't made much of a study of such things, but the daylight hours here are QUITE limited in the winter, and I've read that this can get people quite down... doesn't bother me, though.
