Hi there. It's my first train so excuse if it's a bumpy ride :)

It's a very humble train but I hope you can excuse that. My main goal is to have people a bit more aware and informed about Myalgic Encephalomyelitis, also known as chronic fatigue syndrome or ME/CFS. There's just too many people suffering too much with this disease, and only very few know much about it. There's also a dire need for support and research to find the causes and possible cure of this debilitating, mostly life-long illness.

So please consider answering the questionnaire even if you're not interested in the giveaways at all. The questionnaire is easy and just a way to get some information "out there".

I apologize because I wanted to make a longer train yet I can only create 4 giveaways at once. So I'm saying that upfront not to disappoint you. All 4 are bundled games, sorry I can't do more: 2 level 0+ from current humble bundle; 1 level 1+ and 1 level 2+ from previous bundles.

I wanted to create more so here's what I'll do: If you post an interesting fact about ME/CFS on this thread, I'll add you to my whitelist! I'll create a couple more (whitelist only) giveaways soon and I'll reply the link to your post so you get them.

I'd recommend the following videos to get a bit more informed about ME/CFS:

You can find the questionnaire that lead to the giveaways here.

Disclaimers:

  • I didn't post in the "puzzle" section because it's not really a puzzle. It's just a quick and easy questionnaire about ME/CFS.
  • All the answers can be easily found by following this link: http://www.actionforme.org.uk/get-informed/

Best of luck!

Fact: People with M.E. often have difficulty reading or thinking clearly- this symptom is known as brain fog or 'clouding of consciousness' and can be really frustrating for the sufferer who may have had excellent cognitive ability previous to the disease.

This is especially frustrating when you can't think of a way to write that M.E. is a chronic illness that effects many bodily systems in a manner that the questionnaire will accept when you know first hand what M.E. is, having been a sufferer since I was thirteen and subsequently feel like a complete and utter idiot for the rest of the day.

You just made your quick way to the whitelist but unfortunately you just missed the giveaways! They finished this morning. Soon I'll create some more.

I've added you on Steam if you don't mind!

Of course I don't mind! I'm not bothered about the giveaways either, to be honest. I was sent this page by a friend who knows I have M.E. I watched the 30 minute video of all the sufferers' accounts of their illness and it really struck a chord. I guess, what I'm trying to put across is- thank you so much for bringing awareness to this, and just.... thank you, really. It means a lot that there are actually people out there who give a damn about it.
