I have decided to no longer start games

If all you want is points, troll for front page by creating games which mention Drawcaption pop culture memes. Here, I'll help. Use this handy Madlibs chart to create a top game:

(A) B C (A) B

Words from lists in parenthesis are used only 50% of the time, to create some variation in structure and length.

List A: red, blue, green, purple, pink, white, orange, giant, tiny, angry, scared, happy, smiling, sad, crying, laughing, speedy, fast, slow, amazing, cool, awesome, fat, skinny, pirate, ninja, flying, sleeping, sexy, naked, gay

List B: Batman, Batmobile, Joker, Superman, Deadpool, Spiderman, Iron Man, Hulk, Avengers, Trouble Muffin, Pikachu, Bulbasaur, Ash, Pokemon, Darth Vader, Chewbacca, Death Star, Princess Leia, Neo, Gandalf, Boromir, Sauron, elf, hobbit, wizard, Frodo, Harry Potter, Dumbledore, Voldemort, Mario, Luigi, Princess Peach, Pac Man, Solid Snake, Kermit, Cookie Monster, Elmo, NyanCat

List C: attacks, versus, fights, punches, kicks, bites, shoots, blasts, casts a spell at, stabs, smashes, crushes, zaps, captures, kills, smacks, slaps, karate chops, eats, steals from, has sex with, kisses, hugs, dances with, tickles, sneaks past, jumps over, runs past, befriends, offends, defends, laughs at, shouts at, yells at, talks to, sings with, shakes hands with, looks like, is on a ship with, is in a house with, is in a castle with, is on a rocket with, is on the Moon with, is in a restaurant with, is in a bar with, is in outer space with, standing beside, spying on, having dinner with, is getting drunk with, is in a band with, loves, hates, likes, dislikes, shakes a fist at, threatens

Welcome to the front page!

I start shedloads of games (far more than I describe panels). Who cares if you don't get points from them?

"I've decided it's not worth my time."

How long do you take to come up with a topic for a new game? o_o

My real impetus for no longer creating games is every time I make one, it gets trolled or is incredibly disappointing.

I'm sure it's a matter of having to make a large amount of them in order to get the gems... but it's just not anywhere near as fun as drawing for me.

If it gets trolled or is crap, just make the same one again. No harm done.

How shall we live without deathless prose, such as '(girls) Draw yourself in your face undies'?

@Moku, how bout you eat a giant flying monkey poop?!

If you're gonna try and insult me, at least get the spelling right.

@SmashTheState I laughed.

"Giant Kermit slaps naked Batman".

O_o

Oh burn! someone get the aloe vera!

Yeah, sorry about the spelling, I didn't notice that the phone had auto corrected.

and 'lol'

Points and dustcatchers prevent you from creating games? That's weird...

I just LOVE seeing games I created doing trips around the universe.

Except for being funny (not always, but many times), it also kinda makes me proud.

I wish I could create more than just 3 games at a time...

If you want to stop creating games, then that's all fine and dandy. No need to announce it to the world, I'm sure some of us don't really need to know. I create games to see how they would turn out. If they end up being dustcatchered, I might have to start a new one, or leave it. :P

I think he means more along the lines of this.

I could see how that could get aggravating.

Nothing prevents me from starting a game, what I'm saying is that there is little incentive to spend my time doing so.

Unless I'm just putting words together randomly from the list mentioned above, it takes effort to create a game with potential.

The problem is, it's a frustrating and time consuming experience, for little payoff.

While I can't fault anyone for not drawing well, it's frustrating when a game is derailed in the second panel. As well, many times, even if the game is successful, most people don't vote for the first panel. And if it happens to get dustcatchered, then it takes time to resubmit.

Many of you have asked why points even matter. Well, there are a few reasons. One, some of us like the feedback. It's nice to see others appreciate your creativity. Plus, points means a chance to be in the leader boards (which leads to exposure and better games).

Another is that points seem to allow you more freedom on this site. I remember this thing telling me I count create more games until a certain level had been reached. If this is the case, then its not in my best interest to start games.

In the end, the reason I'm not interested in starting games is because unlike a drawing, or a description mid game, it takes a lot of time and effort to create, with little to no payoff.

The reason I'm announcing it @Proodile is that I'm hoping it will spark some discussion about better incentives for people to start interesting game descriptions.

Genuine question, how do you see better games resulting from exposure?

I've slowly stopped creating games because they almost always get dustcatchered. :(
