At this time we have a choice of two ways to spend Submission Points (SP). Either we can use them to make a new submission or we can use them to create a new track. Doesn't seem like much on the face of it. I am primarily a casual gamer. I may have the odd run here & there which borders on expertise at a game but I'm basically a casual gamer. I carry my Android phone around with me almost everywhere - including the toilet - and find it easy to while away time waiting on this, that or the other (including waiting on bodily functions: don't force it!). I record the game play and make new achievements regularly. Occasionally, I'll get stuck on a particularly difficult level of whatever game I'm playing (even Angry Birds games) and it may take a few days to surpass what I believe is an achievement: 3 Stars in typical Angry Birds level, for example; a Gold time in GnarBike Trials or surpassing some score set by someone else. A typical day will generate 5+ achievements - each may equate to a submission possibility here at Twin Galaxies. "Productive" days can easily generate 20+ achievements - days where I start a new game, for example, and stroll through numerous early stages. There's a generic dearth of submissions at Twin Galaxies. If, like me, you try to adjudicate everything you can earn yourself some 10-30 SP per day and at the moment it "costs" 3 SP per submission ("achievement") or a minimum of 10 SP per new track. If I'm trundling along on existing games, I can just about keep up with the amount of gaming I do and make a tiny in-road to the backlog of games I have archived from over the years. When edging into the backlog, discovering new ways to play existing games on the scoreboard or beginning a new game it's time to create a new track. Minimum outlay is 10 SP just to get the track into the queue - a further 50 SP is needed to get that track onto the scoreboard. Thankfully, in my experience, there's usually other individuals interested in the track and willing to help with the 50 SP. I'm not going to ask for anyone for that help and will fund the full 60 SP total if I have to but I am very grateful to those that aid. Recently, I've added three tracks to the scoreboard and had to fund the majority of them myself over the period of several days. I've made very few submissions in this time devoting most of my earned SP to those tracks. It has also been quite a slow period in the adjudication queue which means the SP earnings have been at the lower end of the typical 10-30 SP per day. I spent somewhere in the region of 70-80 SP on those three tracks and, roughly, 5 submissions throughout the course of a week. I regularly hit 0 SP in my
