Nice :) This event motivates me to do some cleaning in my old keys (and it's like more urgent with each passing day because weird things happen with unused keys these days).
Sad part is that you plan to leave the community... but oh, well I get that. If you actually want to stop wasting your time here and move on - that might be the only solution. Like with any other addiction xD

Too bad you're leaving, but yes SG can suck up quite a chunk of time.
About this part:
In case of games that haven't been released yet and games that were just added to the SteamGifts database. they will have a 0P cost until release or the Database catches up. so the rule for those is that as long as their cost wont be 5P once that happens , then the game is good. it is easy to figure out what the price range is going to be by simply look at the store page.
I guess you mean "...won't be lower than 5P once..."?

I see a bunch of old names in the comments. The Community Train brings a lot of people out. Once again, I am requesting permission to make the Caboose. I am rarely on SG, these days, so this will most likely be my last Community Train, also. If past years are anything to go by, it should be a lot of fun.

γThe first step is to extend the community train from Earth to the Moon. πγ>>γπ
After the train arrives at the Moon, the future whereabouts of the conductor there should be done after that.
It will take a lot of people coming together and participating to figure that out.
Putting the conclusion up front usually doesn't work.
Let's make it exciting enough to encourage the conductor to change his mind.
(ΟοΎΞγ)Οβͺ Well, just saying these things is free. Let's enjoy waiting for the 28thβͺ

If you remember past trains, I do my part to extend them, and then the Caboose pops at the end of the event.

i will be honored if you did. you did it for the last one i made so its feels only right that you do for the last one i ever make.

I appreciate that. I'll start researching what it is that would be most popular with our users.

I thought I had you on my Steam Friends list, but I guess not. I sent you an invite. When you accept it, I'll shoot you the URL for the Caboose.

Somehow I missed this thread until today!
This is my favorite SG event so I am really looking forward to it, as usual.
Fiddler, if this is really it for you... well then best wishes for your SG-less future. You will definitely be missed around here.

Must end sometime on September 28 (again , your time)
I almost forgot to mention this.
πFlipped out because of the momentum.
We have to be a little more patient to adjust to π Universal Standard Time.
By the way, in the rules...
No region restrictions
Participants are advised to check SteamDB and "past sales information" before adding to the train.

In the past, I have seen many passengers in the air after the end of the tour.XD

it's sad to read about your decision, Fiddler, if it'll stay as it is I wish your all the best and everything you desire in that free-of-SG life! You will be missed here
P.S. Sorry, I'll skip participating in the train this year, but I hope that this event will be held with the same greatness as all previous years!
Wish you all best of luck and lots of fun!
P.P.S. It would be wrong to skip this train completely, so with a few old keys....train is moving :)

Is it time already? Is big journey awaits us already?

no region restrictions
Because of the attack on Ukraine, many games now can't be bought from or even activated from Belarus or Russia. How strict are we handling that rule? Are games allowed that can be activated everywhere except in those two countries?

Can't join your GA's. Can you give me a pass to the next one?

Must Start on September 1(your time) on the earliest
How is already September 1 for some people. There's still 62 hours till September 1 for me apparently
I don't think any part of the world is 62 hours ahead of another
I just googled and the maximum time difference on Earth is 26 hours. Not sure how any giveaways have started yet π€

UTC its currently 14:05 on Monday August 29 theres still 2-3 days left till the train should start

(o'Ξ'))yupβͺ
Therefore, I have created a cart with the "Start Date" set to "September 1".
The end date is also "September 28β.
(If you see someone who is not, it is likely that those people are residents of the dimensional interstices. Unless the end date and time are wrong, it is best not to pursue this matter too deeply. It may be dangerous to unlock the secrets of the universe.)π

Well, I was confused too. As result one my cart is not yet started, and another is already running :)

Your cart is following the rules. Even OP who posted the rules isn't even following the rules π

English is not my native and when train went off I spent around 15 minutes trying to translate "Must Start on September 1 (your time) on the earliest" in other ways... Because only my cart wasn't moving π¬

I obviously screwed up with mine. I was so focused on having them end on the 28th (which they will), that I guess I just glazed over the Sep 1st start date. Not too big a deal, I guess.
Comment has been collapsed.
I sent you the URL for the Caboose. When I get off work in the early AM, I will link it up to the last car. (I assume you are going to post it in this forum as you bring the train into the station.)

September 28 is my birthday so I hope I win something (particularly cart #2 or #12 π).
It would be a nice birthday gift π

DO NOT MAKE MORE GIVEAWAYS IF IT IS THE 28TH YOUR TIME. AS LONG AS IT IS THE 27TH WHERE YOU ARE AT RIGHT NOW THEN YOU ARE OK TO MAKE ONE.
Hello everyone its almost September again. which means there is a train about to start coming through soon .
The OG behind this event is Xarlor who came up with the first community train .
it was done again by UserCar007 with some changes that i have decided to keep. which were disallowing DLCs and adding a game value requirement .The Third one was done by me .And I was greatly helped by Canis and icaio.There was a 4th one byDragoZeroNova. 5th was again done by yours truly with the help of Canis and icaio. The 6TH also by me. and the 7TH by yours truly, Arwiee.
this is gonna be the last train or event i run as i have decided to move on and deactivate my account after the event is over. so i hope that everyone enjoys this ride.
well then , i havent thought of something smart , funny , or anything really to say so lets just jump right into this starting with the rules.
do not delete your GA comments after making them. this is to allow people on your blacklist to give you the link to the next GA even though they cant join your GA.
DO NOT HARASS/INSULT PEOPLE ON THE TRAIN FOR ANY REASON!
Must Start on August 29 (your time) on the earliest
Must end sometime on September 28 (again , your time)
No region restrictions (Russia and Belarus are ok, due to most games not activating there)
Set to "Invite Only"
Game value 5P or more
No DLCs
Set Contributor Level no higher than 4
Post URL in the comments of the last cart in the train.
If there is already a link for another cart in the comments of the last cart, wait until a new cart is added.
Number your cart in the description.
In case of games that haven't been released yet and games that were just added to the SteamGifts database. they will have a 0P cost until release or the Database catches up. so the rule for those is that as long as their cost wont be lower than 5P once that happens , then the game is good. it is easy to figure out what the price range is going to be by simply look at the store page.
No Games that are currently being given away for free (that means at the time you make your GA)
just delete and remake if you make a giveaway public on accident (Mods cant change it to invite only)
you can always make a ticket asking for more GA slots if you need those. mods are normally happy to do that. (not the reading your ticket part)
Check your GA comments regularly until you get a link for the next cart. You are responsible for adding the NEXT link in your GA description to keep the train
growing.
GET YOUR TICKETS!
DO NOT MAKE MORE GIVEAWAYS IF IT IS THE 28TH YOUR TIME. AS LONG AS IT IS THE 27TH WHERE YOU ARE AT RIGHT NOW THEN YOU ARE OK TO MAKE ONE.
