So I was looking at my profile earlier and I saw that I can make 41 active giveaways at once. I thought that this might be a good way to get rid of some of my games from my list of 500+ keys/urls/gifts. I mean, these are games just sitting around collecting dust and waiting to be played. What better way to get rid of them than a train right?

Well that is up to you guys and it is also up to you guys how I do it as well.

A: The Free Ride Option
I do a train and start it right in this thread and anyone and everyone can hop on. This makes for a ton of entries and less of a chance of winning for everyone involved. It will be mostly bundle games and a few non-bundle games.

B: Pay For Your Tickets Please
I do a train and start it right in this thread but instead of a direct URL it starts with a puzzle. The first puzzle gets you into the first tier of games which is level 0 and bundles only. From there you will eventually hit a transfer. The transfer will be another puzzle that will get you into the next set of giveaways that will be level 2+ and be a mix of bundle and non bundle games. The final transfer will be another puzzle that will get you into the final giveaways that will be Non-bundle awesome games (No bad rats crap here people). The final giveaways will be for level 3+.

C: No Train For Me Son
I don't do a train and instead just make a random non-bundle giveaway right in this thread. There will be a puzzle to get the link though.

D: What's A Train?
You don't know or you don't care, either way you don't want a giveaway. This option makes it easy for me.

So it is time to decide our fate people! To train or not to train?

No decisions are made until there are at least 700 votes

EDIT For option B, the puzzles start easy and get progressively harder.

EDIT For option B, The 3rd Tier would consist of games like GTA V, The WItcher 3, Evolve, Dying Light, etc...

EDIT So the votes are in and free ride is the winner but I think I'm going to do it a little different. Since people were obviously interested in the other option I will be doing a little of both. More info to come soon, watch the thread for the train...

EDIT The train is rolling out! All are welcome to board but not all will make it to the final destination! This first part of the train is ready, The second part will be available soon so keep an eye on that last giveaway for a description update! Hop on the Nazty Train!

EDIT The 2nd part of the train is complete. There are a mix of bundle and non-bundle games. The contributor level required is 2+. Working on a puzzle for the final part of the train now. Part 3 = 3 AAA Titles...

EDIT The Final part of the train is complete and ready for those who can finish the puzzle. This one requires more thinking. The giveaways for the final games are open for 2 weeks.

EDIT To help spur you guys on, I will reveal one of the games for completing the final puzzle... The Witcher 3

The first Amiibos question gets narrowed down to a handful with the hint and the other amiibo one should be very obvious and clarified with the hint

most of them take a few guesses to get right. very simple. The hints completely give it away.

"A few guesses". 1000+ guesses so far and 3 solvers. Yup, ITH!

All solved but Q7, I thought I got it when I saw the hint but it wasn't what I was thinking of

EDIT : are you sure you wrote it correctly ? The game I was thinking of was made by a studio whose mascot matches your hint, they had a stand at Pax Prime with toy vending machines (and it was for $5), and the game is both on Xbox live & Steam

Me neither. Have tried it both as individual words and one word and a few different variations, so far nothing. Maybe I'm on the wrong track, but things make too much sense for it to be anything else, I got together all the pieces/clues in the same way as TempeteJoachim.

Also, their PAX Prime booth was BIG.

:( I can't think of an unofficial way of spelling it....

Writing it that way gives about 4% of the hits on google compared to the "offical" name, so it's not impossible at all. The amount of people who guessed right has doubled the last 5 hours.

I won't give a more detailed hint than that. I think NaztyFox wanted it to be a bit harder ;)

I'm also in the same boat, but weirdly enough, I'm also stuck at Q1... guess I'm just thinking weirdly or something

I'm still stuck on 3. 3 & 7 are all I have left. For number 1 I think its best to not think about it at all and do exactly what its saying.

I think its safe to assume that 7 must have an issue with it.

EDIT: Duuuuh solved 3 now, didn't actually know the full name as the clue said.

That Q7... I tried so much and I know the game studio's name, but I can't find out the game' title...
EDIT : Okey, now I'm 100% sure that I think the correct game, but it not spelled the official way :/
EDIT2: Trying for 3 hours now, still not giving up...
EDIT3: After nearly 5 hours of guessing the seventh question, I give it up. Have luck all of you, who can do it.

Stuck on Q1 and Q7. Seems like I'm overthinking Q1's answer a lot

I was stuck on Q4 for a while. "How many giveaways did I create up until this point?" So, 123 gifts sent = 123 giveaways. Some gifts not received (no winners) = giveaways still created. How many hadn't been made when the puzzle was made? I was there for quite a while before I figured it all out and could move on to the next one :) Don't need any hints, just wanted to tell you about what I got stuck on...

I was also stuck on Q4 for a couple of hours. I must have manually counted the created giveaways at least 4 to 5 times to make sure I wasn't missing anything.

Any hints on Q7, is it a simple mis-spelling or is it an intentional one? Obvious or random guessing? Seems only fair we get a hint on a mis-spelling seeing as I'm guessing 90% of us know the actual answer.

Was it the same answer you initially found? Because I am 95% sure I have found the correct one, but after 6 hours of incorrect attempts I am starting to doubt my sanity.
