I don't think "whodunnit first" was ever brought up in this thread, save for people taking away from the actual idea of it. It's wholly irrelevant. Date auctions have been a thing for a while now--on Balmung, in XIV, in MMO's, in real life. It's not about innovation or originality. To go back and quote what Sastra said, "What mostly matters to me is that there isn't 5x the same event by different people in a row." The question isn't, "Has it been done before?" but rather, "Have there already been five of these this month?" I believe there's a difference before doing an event that's been done before as opposed to jumping on a bandwagon.
I'm on the same boat as C'kayah with this. One person cannot support a whole group! I know because I used to feel the same, and frankly, HoD got nowhere because of it. You'll run yourself ragged and in such actually be there less for your FC. People like to help, and they should be pulling their own weight! I know it's tempting to say, "It's my FC so all the work is my responsibility," but at the end of the day you can't keep it all running smoothly on your own. I have some great officers now who remind me of that when I slip back into that line of thinking myself.

That's something I feel is important but did not enforce like I should have before. I learned the lessons of trust and now make it known to my people that I will raise the funds for the house.
