I'm inclined to agree with Reddy. Lately, blog discussions have been drowning out everything else on the Activity Feed, and that's even without the interactive games. (The biggest part of that problem--the part we can't do anything about--is the fact that the software governing the Activity Feed and the Recent Changes listings treats each blog comment as a completely new page.) The games simply make the problem that much worse.

Although the fanfic/camps split was before my time, I suspect a major reason for that split was that the camps activity, whether article-based or blog-based, was making it too hard for the stories to get any attention.

I think we need to make clearer what people can and can't do with their blogs when it comes to interactivity. Whether the rules turn out to be restrictive or permissive, people need to know where the boundaries are.
