So I want to create a train. I've got quite a few extra keys sitting around, and I would like to get rid of them in one fell swoop. I've won a few games from trains and I've even enjoyed them otherwise, and I'd like to make one myself. Problem is, I've got significantly more to give than I have able to give away. According to my give page, I can give away 12 games "per my giveaway feedback". How can I best increase that number? Is there an easy way?

Thanks for any help. Enjoy the obligatory hidden GA.

send a ticket to support > other> request more giveaways slots .

i think this is the best way to go.

This is what I'm going to do. Thanks for the suggestion. I don't know if it'll work or not but it's what I'll do. :)

You get 1 giveaway slot for each 3 completed giveaways. So you can create giveaways first and make a longer train once you reach the number you want.

You can create a support ticket and ask them to increase your giveaway limit, describing your "train problem" to them.

Create 12 giveaways and when they are all marked as received you will be able to create 16.
Create 16 giveaways and when finished you will be able to make 21.
Create 21 and then you will be able to create 28.
Create 28 and then you can create 37.

That's already 77 giveaways and can probably be completed in a week if you make each giveaway open for less than 24 hours. Once you get to this point the giveaway slots start adding up really fast if you have games to keep giving away.

The shorter you leave the giveaways up for the quicker you will be able to send them and create more.

This will be much faster than waiting for support to increase your giveaways slots. I wouldn't be surprised if support took at least a month and I bet you could have around 400 giveaway slots or more in that time if you really had enough games to give away. You would need around 1200 giveaways to get to this point though.

That said sometimes there are super nice staff members around giving a boost when they see why you might want them. Happened to me during christmas and when I was still an utter newb. I was way too eager to get my GAs started XD

Thanks for the advice. Mostly your description of how the available GAs grow, because it really helps me to understand the system.
As for the suggestion, I won't take it. Not because it's not a valid one, but because I don't have the free time needed to do that. The main reason, besides just giving things away, that I want to do one train is that I've got very little time to be online. I can be online maybe once or twice a week for any length of time (needed to create many giveaways), so that would assuredly not be the fastest way to go, but that is solid advice for those with more free time. :)

The system is pretty simple. You start with 3 giveaway slots and you gain 1 additional slot for every 3 giveaways that winners mark as received. You lose 1 slot for every giveaway that you deleted or is marked as not received.
