If multiple linked giveaways are a train, what is a single giveaway in a train?
It's a wagon, without a doubt! :P
Still quite new to SG, but I think I meet the requirements for this one ( ͡o ͜ʖ ͡o)

I say car because I'm American. Apparently it's "bogie" in Indian English.

All of the above, it's up to the conductor to decide! I've had train cars and also train stations, depending on my mood/what I type in the first giveaway

Gotta go with a car on that one. I may have sent a few more than won...

I dont think I meet the requirements, but have a bump :P

Actually, you do! Your Real CV for Sent is higher than your Real CV for Won.
Welcome to my whitelist! :-)

It usually should be a wagon, but it's mostly called station xD

Wagon.
And the first one is a locomotive, choo choo!

I made trains before. Just call single giveaway as "station" :D

Wagon ftw!
It would be nice to be in a wihitelist, so if you think I'm good enough you could add me ^^ Thanks either way :D

I would say station cause you stop on every giveaway.

Car! Railway car to be exact. Carriage reminds me of westerns (big fan) ^^ Would be honored to be on your bluehearts list :)

I feel the same about Carriages and westerns, but according to Eikipedia it is actually one of the names in use. These are the names I found doing some "research" for this poll:
- Railroad car
- Railway wagon
- Railway carriage
- Passenger car
If any native English speaker can explain the nuances between these names, it would be nice.
Also, welcome to my whitelist. I'm glad to see I'm already on yours :-)

Car is American, Wagon is British, both are generic terms.
Passenger car is American, only holds passengers.
Carriage is British, only holds passengers.
I believe 'coach' can be used in both countries to refer to such, as well.

I would say it's a GA since it's a GA train but what do I know?

If it ain't an engine and it ain't a caboose, it's a car!
Comment has been collapsed.
i would say: the gas represent the passangers in the train and i´m the ticket collector^^

That went above my head. Or maybe it's just spinning looking at your won/sent ratio... welcome!
Comment has been collapsed.
^^ thank you, but to be fair: due to a bug, the actualy shown value is wrong. the armageddon bundle got reduced and the gas for deponia are now shown worth as maybe 100 euro instead of 20... dont know, how much i actualy rly have, but i´m sure, its less than 2k (but i should reach it soon xD)

Isn't it a Sloppy? Like in a train there's sloppy seconds, sloppy thirds....
Comment has been collapsed.
i think i meet the criteria (not sure about how long in a month you are talking about for created givaway though^^
Comment has been collapsed.
I think the final one should always be referred to as the caboose.
Comment has been collapsed.
I try to call them coach but mostly I pronunced it as couch. Silly non-fluency

Am I good enough for Your Whitelist? You're on mine!
Comment has been collapsed.
You more than meet the requirements, added! :-)
Also, glad to be on yours (though I don't expect it and don't consider wl/bl something that needs to be mutual).

Sometimes I make a train, where each giveaway is a wagon / car (aren't those the same thing?), but sometimes I make each giveaway as stations that the train passes through.
Comment has been collapsed.
I use to refer to each GA as a station, while train is just moving between them ;) This way we can have as long as we wish trains - while it would be hard to imagine a train with 100+ wagons for example ;)
Comment has been collapsed.
100+ giveaways in a single train? Wow. Whoever wins must feel like they worked hard for these giveaways ;-) not to mention what it takes to create such a train...

There is an active ~80 wagon train right now: http://www.steamgifts.com/discussion/2kCv4/cake-incoming-the-cake-is-here :P

If multiple linked giveaways are a train, what is a single giveaway in a train? Please vote in the poll below. Sadly Dan Quayle is busy picking potatoes, so is absent from this poll. He promised me he'll be back for my next poll.
There are no giveaways in this thread, let alone a train, but I do
currently have 9 whitelist giveaways(Update: Finished) that you may be able to join if you make my whitelist. Below are the simplified requirements. Please comment if you'd like to join and meet the criteria. Note that I won't necessarily reply (especially if your comment is only about trains), so wouldn't hurt to check access to these giveaways later on...I have many users in my whitelist who don't meet all of the above criteria, but this is normally because I liked what they wrote in the forum and found it to be exceptionally interesting, insightful or helpful. This isn't likely to happen in a whitelist recruit thread, so better stick with the criteria above.
Thank you and good luck!
