Would you want to contribute to the London Underground network?
Certainly in for a few GAs, or maybe more than a few. If anything, I wonder if you might end up with too many game contributors and will have to make some cuts. First-come-first-served once the signup thread is posted?
It would also be fun to provide GAs for a complete line. I'm not sure how long (or short) these lines get, but that might be fun.

Strictly first come first serve, however those who'd like to run an entire line will be able to block it in advance. Just let me know before the 2nd week. FYI the lines have an average of 35 stops, check Wikipedia or other sources to pick one you'll like, if you're interested!

Super off-topic, but how many of these lines were around during WWII? It's so complex (/o_o)/

Most of them http://www.eplates.info/maps/LU1938-1945.html
This is a fab idea! I'm in!

I'm interested in contributing and maybe able to help if it fits into my schedule. [I'm a student]
I would love to see this happen!

I'll set 5 keys that I have aside for the Tube event :) Count me in.

Tentative yes from me. Currently waiting on a bit of cash to come my way first and I need to see what is left before I commit to something this large. If you find someone else in the mean time, feel free to bump me aside :).
Note: If you are fine with bundles then I can contribute without issue. Just tentative since I prefer to do non-bundled games for this if possible :).

Ah screw it, just put me down for 5. I'll managed and it's not like I'm smart with my money anyways so might as well XD.

Hello there! I want to contribute and also want to help you with logistics

<3 Momo1991, I'll add you to the group, let's use group chat.
But it'll boil down to 1. making the private GAs, 2. submitting the GA links to a volunteer or me , and 3. update the description in the GAs with a text we'll provide (i.e. the links to the previous & next stations, etc.)

Remind me that I'm interested in creating at least 10 stations for you :D
But I'm drinking now, so as I drink more, I'll forget that I read this..
But I have quite a few slots, so I can spare some :D

Nope, isn't bad at all. Just had forgotten... and will likely forget again. :D
I have something the weekend of the 9th, so hopefully we are posting before then, otherwise, I can't post them till the 12th. :D

I'd like to volunteer for logistics! I can also fill up some stations with bundle games if need be

Sounds interesting for me and ofc, I love trains too :-)

I went to London for the first time in my life a little over a month ago, and I fell in love with the Underground. Count me in!
I can probably contribute 4-5 games.
I mostly rode the Bakerloo line out of Paddington Station, but also caught the Victoria and Piccadilly lines a bit as well.

Indeed! The whole thing was so impressive, not to mention clean, efficient, people were incredibly polite, and the trains were much less noisy in motion compared to the ones we have in the Bay Area.

Update: closed, as the sign-up thread is now live.
Apparently trains have become quite popular here since I created my first one 18 months ago... so let's take this train business up one level, shall we? Without further ado, let me present
Let's Train: London Underground "Mind the Gap" edition
Instead of a single train, let's create 11 trains, one for each line of the the London Underground, with a total of 355 giveaways! Yes indeed, London Underground is one of the world's biggest metro train systems :-)
Wait, what?
I would like to recreate the London Underground network of 11 lines and 270 stations as a community giveaway train network on Steamgifts. Every station (giveaway) is mapped to one of the lines, and links to the previous and next station, as well as to all other lines that stop in the same station (we will have multiple GAs for stations that share multiple lines). That way we end up with 355 GAs required for the complete London Underground network. Once we have the London Underground network setup I'll publish the Kings Cross St. Pancras station GA (6 lines going through here!) in the forum, and people can travel from there to all the underground stations...
Call for help
Unfortunately I can only make 100 GAs at a time, meaning I need help from you folks! We need 255 additional contributors who can take over 1 station each. Or fewer contributors, if some end up owning more than one station :-) However from these numbers alone it's clear I will also need help managing the event! This is why I'm looking for volunteers to help me with the logistics of the event. Volunteers will manage a train line, i.e. collect the required info from the contributors and tell them what information they have to add to their GAs. There will be a Steam group to coordinate this effort, and I'll make a few nice GAs for all volunteers and top contributors once the event is over. Let me know in the comments below if you'd like to help, or have any questions to ask first.
Timing
GA requirements
GA should all be made private, with no region restrictions, and end at the same day in October (to be announced, do not create any GAs just yet!). Other than that I don't think we should have any rules concerning GAs. Contributors can choose what game to give away, what level to require, who to blacklist, etc. Oh, and here's a Mini Metro to get you started!
FAQ
Q: Are cheap games / bundles OK? A: Of course, all games are welcome!
Q: Can I choose my stations?" A: Yes, I'll have sign-up forms ready for the 2nd step. If somebody wanted to own an entire line that should also be possible (let me know before the 2nd week)
Q: How to get in touch with you? A: in Let's Train group chat steam://friends/joinchat/103582791439692202
TL;DR
I'm looking for volunteers to help me run this event. Read the sections above if you're interested.
