Points/Games?

Does anyone know what the current cap is for amount of playable games vs. amount of points? I've had upwards of 30 at once before, and now it's capping me at 25. Is this a new change, or a glitch, or...?

You can't create new games anymore (-5). And, as for the upwards, you probably don't have the two public games you can have created (Which are separate of the 30 game cap)

Except that of the games I have going, 4 of them are ones I created, so I'd still be at 29, even with that logic.

I used to be able to create 5, but now I can only create 4. So there were definitely changes at some point.

Reed maybe lowered it because there was too many active games. I know either today or yesterday he was talking about possibly disabling game creation for a short while to clear out the backlog that has built up. I'm sure he's been fiddling with the maximum played/created to try and find a good balance.

Yeah, creation has been disabled since yesterday. The games I created at the beginning of the week still haven't been put into rotation.

He's going to have to figure out what the hell to do with the really, really awful prompts which no one wants to draw. I know I spend ages clicking and clicking and clicking to find something which isn't related to some obscure anime or <pop culture character> <verbs> <pop culture character>.

Yeah, they are generally way too detailed and obscure. Have plans for a system that will drop dustcatcher panels - which are panels that are skipped by a lot of players.

The creator of the panel will get a notice on what was dropped, so they'll get an idea of what kind of descriptions are too complicated.

But, imo, lowering the amount of playable games, when you have a backlog wouldn't make sense. You'd want more people to play more games to get rid of it. I get lowering how many you can create, but you'd think when there's such a backlog that creation has to be entirely turned off, the playable limit would go up.
