Anyways, thank you for the community train, everyone. It was nice to see how friendly everyone was.
I don't know if I will ever again participate after my experience this year, but maybe I will have forgotten about it all in 12 months.
And an extra special Thank you to Fiddler and Canis!
Take care, Fiddler. All the best for you.

Sorry to hear about your experience. Thank you for the chance at such an amazing game!

Man, unfortunately that's sort of the state of most giveaways nowadays, people enter despite whether being able to play it or not, although wouldn't something like that be able to have the GA rerolled? Or was this admission after the fact they'd already claimed the game. Sorry about your experience with it, especially after your generous contributions throughout the entire train.

Happens to 99.9% of games donated on sg. Sad truth.

What the others said, but also I'd suggest checking out the groups "Playing Appreciated" and "Playing Matters" if you care about people playing the games you giveaway.

Ahh that sucks. And just to rub salt I see most of the giveaways they've done (especially in the last year) have been in groups with less than 50 entries. But as others said, thanks for the opportunity, you are a really generous person.

He plans to purchase a GPU and play the game. And your generosity gave him such an opportunity - look at it from this point of view :)

A 0.58 ratio isn't that bad, especially if you keep in mind that the winner is from a poorer country. If they manage to get their GPU they'll be more thankful for your giveaway than most others would be.
But I get the frustration. It's always a factor when you consider spending money on giveaways.

Damn, I was expecting to at least win one game, oh well, thank you for the train, hopefully I'll be able to contribute more for next one.

I figured the odds were better, haha. I got 1 out of like 50 I was in?
Comment has been collapsed.
It really depends on which games you enter, I'd have probably won if I entered more, but, I don't enter for games I already have on other platforms, that'd be a waste of a game.

You can click the Stats button at the bottom of the page and look at the first graph to see your odds. My odds were 50.09% of winning at least one, but unfortunately that wasn't enough.

That's true, with every passing day, she approaches.

Aw, now i feel bad. I should have asked for a reroll of one of my wins. Was thinking of doing it but decided not to since it can be troublesome for the gifters who make a lot of giveaways. My bad. Hopefully you (and the others who didn't win) have better luck in the next train event.

Don't feel bad, the idea of the train is for anyone to win, not necessarily users with positive ratio and such; In fact, I avoid those groups because they're simply trading in disguise. Also, it might not have been from the train, but I did wake up to a win today, so there's that.

Thanks, sometimes i just feel bad when someone doesn't win and i got some wins, hahah. Congrats for the win though! At least you get one, even if it wasnt from the train :)

That was a nice train, and a great selection of stuff on offer! Thanks to everyone involved, it was fun to take part (even if I'm a bit bummed to have not won anything :P )
Grats to all the winners :)

Thank you fiddler for all the hard work in this year's train. I know that you said that you are going to deactivate your account after this, but know that i'll always be grateful for what you have done with the community train. It is the first community-wide event that i joined in sg and it holds a special value to my heart. I dont know what plans you have after this, but i wish you luck for your future endeavors.
Also, thank you for everyone who contributed to the train. I was surprised to see how many carts are added near the end of the event; i didn't even notice that my points have run out because of it, hahah. Whether you only contribute one cart or many carts, whether you contributed the same games as others or not, or whether you contributed low-priced games or high-priced games, i always enjoyed browsing through the carts every few hours or so. Hope to see you guys again next year.

That is better than deleting account. Glad he choose that way in that case.
Comment has been collapsed.
If an account gets deleted all threads - this train included - would be gone forever. His motive was to keep the information for posterity. It was the sensible solution.

check again what he wrote, and he said " 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."

Godspeed, Fiddler, and congratulations to everyone who won.

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.
