Rails not letting after_create execute without user_id param. Why?

In my Game model, I have

class Game < ApplicationRecord
    has_many :assignments
    has_many :users, through: :assignments

    accepts_nested_attributes_for :assignments

    after_create :create_assignments

    def create_assignments
        3.times { Assignment.create!(game_id: id, user_id: 1) }
    end
end

This works but I need the user_id to be blank when it's created (it will be edited at a later time). It won't create assignments unless there is a user_id with a value.

I've tried leaving it blank and omitting it, but that doesn't work. I think I need to put optional: true somewhere but I'm pretty stumped on this one.

Needed to add :optional => true on Assignment Model

class Assignment < ApplicationRecord
    belongs_to :game
    belongs_to :user, :optional => true
end
