The 6TH also by me. and the 7TH by yours truly, Arwiee , The 8th and The 9th by me.

RULES !!

  • do not delete your GA comments after making them. this is to allow people on your blacklist to give you the link to the next GA even though they cant join your GA.
  • DO NOT HARASS/INSULT PEOPLE ON THE TRAIN FOR ANY REASON!
  • Must Start on August 29 (your time) on the earliest
    *The GA cant start in the future when you try to link it to the Train.
  • Must end sometime on September 28 (again , your time)
  • No region restrictions.
  • Set to "Invite Only"
  • Game value 5P or more
  • No DLCs
  • Set Contributor Level no higher than 4
  • Post URL in the comments of the last cart in the train.
  • If there is already a link for another cart in the comments of the last cart, wait until a new cart is added.
  • Number your cart in the description.
  • In case of games that haven't been released yet and games that were just added to the SteamGifts database. they will have a 0P cost until release or the Database catches up. so the rule for those is that as long as their cost wont be lower than 5P once that happens , then the game is good. it is easy to figure out what the price range is going to be by simply look at the store page.
  • No Games that are currently being given away for free (that means at the time you make your GA)
  • just delete and remake if you make a giveaway public on accident (Mods cant change it to invite only)
  • you can always make a ticket asking for more GA slots if you need those. mods are normally happy to do that. (not the reading your ticket part)
  • incase you are blacklisted, please open the giveaway in incognito mode so that you can get the link to the next cart, since opening it in incognito will log you out.
  • Check your GA comments regularly until you get a link for the next cart. You are responsible for adding the NEXT link in your GA description to keep the train
    growing.

I saw some GA creators posting links to carts marked by train emoticons. How can we do it?

I think they use emoji. On Windows 10, you can use Windows + . shortcut to open the emoji selector.
For example, [🚆🚂🚄🚅🚃](https://www.steamgifts.com/giveaway/PqFez/) will be rendered as 🚆🚂🚄🚅🚃.
For some reasons, the ESGST markdown preview doesn't work with emoji.

I feel the same but now i think its kinda fitting, giving the kinds of things shared there and dms i receive offering nudes lol

But most of all, i can feel as ashamed of browsing through it as any porn site. So... it fits

From how far away does an average person hear a train from?

On average, a person can hear a train from a distance of 1 to 2 miles (1.6 to 3.2 kilometers) if there are no significant barriers or obstructions. In ideal weather conditions, where there is no wind or other interfering sounds, the sound of a train can potentially be audible up to 10 miles (16 kilometers) away.

Let's say it's perfect conditions. That's been ten hours now with the potential distance in an ideal circumstance being ten miles. That's ONE mile an hour at best! This train is slower than walking...

...It must be carrying quite the load!

This doesn't seen to take into account the train's whistle, though. According to this folk song ("500 Miles"), you can hear the whistle blow a hundred miles.

OK, accepting that The Hooters are correct on this occasion that's been 25 hours since the thread was posted.

So unless this train arrives before 3 more days are over my point still stands.

It's not a problem, I'm just saying that must be helluva haul :D

You need points, lot of points. And a lot of giveaways ready.

It's a community event, it has been going on for many years already.

It's a yearly event where giveaways are added by the community, to eventually make a train of epic proportions!

(I see quijote linked to last year's train; that has links to all the previous trains so you can get more information!)

I mean ever. I have a long account length but I basically created the account, tried and failed to win anything for a few months, ignored it for about 8 years, then came back. So I have not really been in the forums for more than 3 or 4 months.
