Hey. TBH I never thought of such possibility, but I checked and it seems that you can have 0 credit cards and drawing price set 0 and then you can draw every day as long as your credit balance is greater than 0. I always thought that when you are below 0, it doesn't make sense to draw any card, because a) you won't be able to accept it anyway, b) you lose even more credits. But with the prices set to 0, it might make more sense. I'll check and see if it can be done easily.

Ideally, even if you have negative credits, it should let you pull a 0 point card.

In my case, we use different types of cards. The zero point cards consist of "Pamper" and "Inspection" cards. Directing tasks to do nice things for my wife like massages, pedicures, breakfast in bed etc. Inspection ones are things around my chores and tasks. For example, if the kitchen inspection card comes up, and it is not up to standards it results in punishment card being drawn. So for my variation of the game, if I'm at 0 or negative being able to still draw a card keeps me on my toes for cleaing/chores and possibly pampering.

Thanks for looking into it.

Hey, sorry it took so long but I finally managed to look at it and fix a thing here and there. Now you should be able to draw even with a negative balance, provided that your draw price is 0 and you have at least 0 card with 0 or random price. I did some testing but I'm still not sure if I managed to iron out all the wrinkles, so if you notice anything that works incorrectly, please let me know.

In other news: tags editbox has now an autocomplete function.

Thanks for trying.

I am at negative points now, and it says I cannot afford a card, but I know there are 0 cost cards in their.

Yes, there are, but your draw price is 3, so you can't afford drawing, not a card. You need to set the draw price to 0 to be able to draw when you're below 0.

I'm sorry if this interferes with your way of playing, but the game was "designed" so that drawing a card is a privilege that must be earned (by collecting credits). I'd rather not allow drawing (and accepting) cards when your balance is negative, because otherwise there's nothing motivating you to collect credits. Nothing in the game itself, of course, there might be outside factors (like your wife in your case), but not everyone is so lucky :)

Doh.. it never dawned on me about the draw price being the reason. That makes sense. I'll ask my wife to change that setting.

Update: She changed it to 0, and it works fine. She adusted the collecting of credits down to account for the zero cost card pulls. Of course the cost of changing the settings added to my negative balance.. it is going to be a long time before I get any "good" cards. I have to be extra mindful of my chores in the mean time.

Thanks for updating the game for me:-)

So a little quirk I discovered about the game.

This can only happen if you have the cost to draw a card set to 0.

If you get a card that costs all your credits and you happen to be at a negative balance, it doubles your negative balance.

Fortunately, my wife says she'll change that one card from 0 to 1 so it won't happen again, but I have quite a hole to dig out of now lol.

You can call it a quirk or My Evil Genius Master Mind At Work!
That's exactly how it's supposed to work when you're below zero :)

Woaaa thanks for the new feature that show every cards that can be drawn with their probabilities etc.. That's exactly a feature I was looking for!!

If I may suggest another "feature request": it would be nice to be able to reset the "longest streak without orgasm". Why do I would like to have it? Well, I've been away from OST for 2 months now for personal reasons, and now my longest streak show up as 60+ days, which is wrong because I did cum during these 2 months.
Maybe the reset isn't the solution, maybe you just wanna check user activity before adding days to this "longest streak" (like connecting at least once a week or something).
I know this is pure cosmetic, but it would be nice if you have some spare time :)

Would be nice to have a way to earn some credits instead of getting some once a day.

Just pulled my first card, couldnt afford it and that is that. I imagine the start might be slow.

There is an option to only draw cards that you can afford. Enable that and you should get tasks right away.

Sure, that's a good idea.
Added to my backlog!

Well, yes, the game requires a certain amount of patience and self-control. (Or maybe it's supposed to train those abilities? Well, it failed in my case then )

Anyway, if you don't want to wait, you can earn credits by enduring punishments. Just create (or copy) some punishment cards, make sure to uncheck the “Cap completed punishment credits” option in the Settings area and you can quickly earn a lot of credits by creating confessions with "Give me a punishment" button and performing the prescribed punishments.

I thought of one thing that may be interesting. Allowing a view-able public history.

Defiantly not a priority but perhaps for the back burner.

I thought about it before and gave it more thought when you asked, but from my perspective it requires too much work for the "value" it brings. It's not simply a matter of making the history public. There would need to be a way of browsing users with public history (something like public cards?) or maybe some global public history feed? And if you make your history public, you would probably want to be notified when someone visits your history page? And so on...

If you had some particularly nasty combination of cards or something, just write a story about it and publish it here or to your blog/tumblr/fb/whatever... This way it will surely be much more interesting and more people will read about it. I really enjoyed reading your blogs about your OST experiences.

In general, I have no intention in making the site more "social," since I feel there are perfectly good sites for social side of sex, fetishes, denial etc. (e.g. Milovana). I could add social features like public profiles, public history, friending, messaging etc., but each one of them requires a lot of effort for very little gain (at least from my perspective). OST is about masturbation, which is a solitary activity, after all :)

I hope it doesn't sound harsh and I'm not dismissing upfront any feature ideas or requests, just wanted to give a bit of reasoning behind my decisions :)
