And it's OVER! I am sending out keys and steamgifts, please bear with me if you have any issues. All together there are about 200 solvers of the ticketing quiz and about 200 giveaways, so hopefully most everyone won something! If you didn't, there will be more opportunities another time. And if you did win, congrats! This was a learning experience for me, hopefully most of you enjoyed it as well.


Important Notes:

  • This train will be picking up additional cars at some point, which means some cars will be leaving the train before others. The locomotive doesn't have enough locomotion to move all the cars at once (not enough giveaway slots).

  • The train starts with bundle games with LEVEL 2 RESTRICTION. There are also some LEVEL 3 & 4 gifts towards the back of the train.

  • Follow the SG guidelines and do not share invite only links or other boarding pass information. Bad things will happen, black magic and stuff.

  • If you ride the train please bump this thread. Bonus points if you're creative. You don't need to leave a "Thanks" note on every GA you enter, but thoughtful comments are appreciated. Thanks for the comments so far, I've gotten a couple smiles and laughs

Hopefully your ride on Lothar's Training Train is an enjoyable one! Please read the info above -- All Aboard!


But Why?!?

My SG cakeday and my birthday are both a LONG time off, and I couldn't wait that long. When the urge to train comes on you, putting the brakes on isn't an option.

Also, I'm relatively new to SG, but have enjoyed getting more involved in the community so far. Training was on my todo list along with creating a puzzle and giveaways for my small but growing whitelist.

Additionally, I'd like to give a shout out to a giveaway group I'm a member of, Phoenix Giveaways. They focus on non-bundle games with bundle games mixed in. A points system is used to help make sure that giveaways and winnings are spread across users in a fair manner. They're currently on a recruiting drive, with further details available on this thread.

Heh, looks like it. The games that expire first are towards the front though :) And you shouldn't be seeing any expired games, only active ones. It's a little haphazard, my next train I'll just stick to as many giveaway slots as I can do in one go.

That is disturbing o.0 At least he didn't turn it to poke into one of the other passengers? That's what you get for being polite.

While the women in front of the camera stand there just looking on, not that I blame them.

Amen. None of this Michael Bay/ Linkin Park stuff.

And just curious, was the quiz too hard? Or just didn't want to spend the time?

Hmmm...just personally, I don't like quizzes that I can't sort of guess or know the answer to one or two of them without having to leave the page. If there are say 10 questions and I have to google the answer to 7-8 of them I won't bother. If I've got a few right through knowing the answers/I have a good idea and feel I can guess them, I'll stick with it.

The puzzle looks solvable with google if you are worried about difficulty.

You don't need to be registered on itstoohard, so it's totally finally. Registration only means your name will be on the leaderboard in case you make it, instead of "Anonymous". From the website:

For players, your guesses will be preserved indefinitely and your user name will appear in various rankings (coming soon).

For puzzle creators, you'll be able to edit your puzzles. You'll also be given access to additional customizations.

Email address is optional and will not be shown to other players.
