Where are all the L4D games hiding?

Jay BazuziIf I launch Left 4 Dead, click Versus -> Play Online, it says "There are currently 2439 people playing Left 4 Dead". Wow, that's a lot of L4D. Then I see the number of open games, and it's less than 10, often just 2. Why the big difference? Where are all those games happening?

Trying to identify an old Star Trek text adventure game.

The time frame would have been sometime in the late 80s. Unfortunately, I don't remember much about the ...

@Arda RE deep, atmospheric - I don't like it. It's basically "which game has a good story", which feels way too broad in my opinion. Especially considering the list of game example he brought contains games that - in my opinion - do not have a good story.
It's like asking "which game has a really good graphics"

That's true
At least he tried to specify it

Odd, why would anyone delete a question from meta?
 
7:18 AM
no, not from meta, from gaming itself

Dunno then
Well you just need just 400 more rep
The way you're going, it'll take you just one day :)
 
Yep, turns out to be a bit difficult with rep caps and little questions
400 rep will take at least 2 days, seeing as I'm already at half my cap
 
Oak
Oh, if you're at half then I guess it'll really be 2 days for you :)
It was just impressive how quickly you got rep over the first week
Like, 200 + acceptance bonuses
Especially considered how few users there were

Does anyone knows what does "days exceeding reputation cap: X" means in my report?
(kinda @Jeff)
 
7:36 AM
search for that string on meta.so
 
Oak
"rep cap was exceeded on X days"
 
use quotes
 
Oak
Yea, I guess I'm not the first :)
One of your comments somewhere is the best explanation: "did you reach 200 rep from PURE UPVOTES? That's "reached". Did you reach 200 or more rep from upvotes + accepts? That's "exceeded". Neither calculation includes bounties."
 
So if you get one accepted answer you will already not get 'reached'?
 
Oak
Why?
If you get one accepted answer it means that IF you get reached, you're also guaranteed to get exceeded
 
7:41 AM
"did you reach 200 rep from PURE UPVOTES? That's "reached"
 
Oak
But you may still get exceeded without getting reached
 
Since when do votes precede accepted answers on display?
I thought an accepted answer was normally displayed at the top regardless of votes
 
it is except when the q owner accepts own answer
