Smack Me in the Head and I see Stars - Stars Missing in Games

We know that everyone is frustrated with stars not appearing in a timely manner on the star games.  The issue has been going on for a couple of weeks and we thought it was ok for a while.  The issue is that stars are not being lost,  but merely being delayed in be added.   There isn't really any point of getting stars unless you get them when you are supposed to.
We're now focused on getting the stars issue resolved.  It's taken far too long to get this fixed and we apologize for the delay.

If you do have trouble with your stars you would be doing us a tremendous service if you posted the following when it happens:
1.  Which game you are playing. (Star games are located here)
2.  Approximately what time you were playing.

The more information you can provide us the better we can figure this out.  Thanks so much for all your patience.

Where the is he! - What's Larry Up to.

Haven't posted this week and as always there are reasons.  We're hammering down and trying the next suite of games into our beta program.  I posted about this last week here
As you can imagine when I posted the the entry I thought we'd get the game out.  It's taken longer than I wanted it too,  but it is now getting VERY VERY CLOSE.  I've been up in arms yelling and kicking trying to get the games out.  I can't wait for everyone to get there hands on the games.

Just a reminder,  beta means the games are not quite finished.  There are things missing here and there that we are aware of.  I'll be sure to post any of those items on the beta help section.  Additionally,  you'll be able to access all the games in beta by checking the beta tag on the all games menu.
You can get to that list here:
