Game making question

Hey,

I know empty games get auto deleted after 14 days.

My question is will these games get deleted even if i have invites sent out to players (this is for a tournament)?

And what is the definition of empty- can one out of the two players join and that will prevent the game from being deleted?

Thanks in advance for your answers.

empty games are all games not started, so yes, tournament games also disappear after 14 days. I do not know for sure, but i do not think invites impact the lenght

any private games which include tournament games get dropped after 14 days regardless of invites, if they are waiting players they get dropped. That said public games stay open till they get filled even if that is longer than 14 days to my knowledge. Its either that or they never make it past 14 days before getting filled because I have had a bunch make it to the first page and not get dropped.

it must be that they just filled within 14 days ljax. the 14 day is for all types of games, certainly the public one's

I believe i have read somewhere that only private games are subjected to the 14 game rule, you might want to check with the monkey.

Monkey check completed.
You are quite right Ljex. The 14 (aka 15 day rule) ONLY applies to private games (both tournament and regular private games) The public games will fill up eventually.
Thanks you very much for asking, I did not know this yet.
