yes, but it's not due just yet. before the train arrives we would like to gather some customer feedback concerning important questions such as

  • should the train be long, short or equal length to a piece of string?
  • should the train be fast (open for 24hour) or slow (7 days)
  • should the train board across the platform (include a list for those who dislike trains)
  • which platform should the train use? (level)
  • should the train be smoking, non smoking or ohmygodthetrainisonfirerunforyourliveswomenandchildrenfirstnowaitihaveaheartconditionletmeinfront

rather than use a poll for a popularity contest this time, I'm instead curious to hear your reasons and will make my decision based upon the most convincing arguments
or possibly the most amusing

  • Short and Sweet.
  • What is your late arrival compensation policy?
  • No if it's Short and Sweet. Especially Sweet. But Especially Short.
  • 1st class only.
  • It would certainly be smoking if it had a steam locomotive.

bad rats as locomotive
as people have different needs - class should vary (f.e. 1-8)
quality of carts depends ofc on class
medium long
non smoking but it definitely should produce STEAM xD

  • Preferably medium to large, but it doesn't really matter.
  • Definitely slow. Some people live busy lives and can't afford to check SG every hour incase they miss something.
  • Not sure what this means.
  • Level 2+ minimum. Everyone can get to level one very easily by just giving away one cheap game from a bundle. Level 2 requires a bit more effort, but at that point they should understand how the site works. Not sure if a bare-minimum SGTools would make that big of a difference, so I wouldn't bother unless the train is intentionally for people who give away a lot of games.
  • Uh... sure?

Trains are best not too short and not too long, so that the ride is neither tiring nor over before it has begun. A medium length is most satisfying for most, 3 -4 days, so the wait for arrivin at the destination is not too long. A list is not required, as it spoils the fun for the people who love riding trains, exceptions are if the train is reeeaaally long, several entrances for several levels could be a solution in this case.
Which leads me to your next question - most of the times a smooth mixture of all levels is the way to go for most. This way there's a little something for everybody in the train. For new users, for poor people, for those that don't like to give so much and for those that do, and also for people who are around for a while.
Trains are an individual matter. You can decorate them with whatever you like, smoke if you want to and forbid it if you hate it, throw out things you always wanted to share with other people because they are so amazing, or even set it on fire. Best aspect of a train imo :)

To answer your questions:

Long.
Slow.
Level 2+
SGTools protected with at least the three most used requirements (All gifts activated, no multiple wins and no VAC cheaters/scammers).
Non smoking.

Concerning trains it's not easy to choose for another as in the end it's up to the individual giveaway creator to make a train how he or her wants.

Short/ Medium length. I'd rate the quality of the experience higher than its length. Always. But if you can afford to combine both ... ;)
2-4 days are best, depending on the train ofc.
Trains are for those loving trains. So no lists.
Level 2-5
No smoking. And children always come first!

  • Short or medium, my finger still hurts after clicking through the long (100+) ones!
  • Slow trains are the best since more people get to enjoy the trip.
  • No shortcuts, the surprise of every cart is the enjoyment. It wouldn't be funny to give shortcut the last cart of Bad Rats. Also bump link can surprise sometimes, at least I have heard some rumors of that happening sometimes...
  • Multiple platforms could be a thing, just remember to tell the passengers of this.
  • Train can make some smoke if it suits the occasion.
    Underwater train could be a thing. Just remember to include lifejackets and swimsuits if they are needed.
