Hello, I'd like to join! I think they are not wagons or carriages, I'd rather see them like the goods in a goods train, the wagon is where they are, so the relative steamgift page.

Added! :-)
So your answer the poll question (what is a single giveaway in a train) is "good"? I always thought that "goods" can only be plural, and the poll question is specifically about a singular noun.

If it isn't "good", it's bad. But it can't be because, singular or plural, a giveaway is always good. :)
And thank you.

I meet the requirements; Do you mind adding me for future WL GAs? Or was this just for this one event?

Added. I don't plan to remove anyone from my whitelist and hope that people won't give me a reason to... :-)

At first I would have said wagon, because this is one part of a train but when I think closer, "station" fits best. Because YOU ARE the train or the whole thing is a ride, with multiple stops at different stations from my point of view :)
Also, I fit the criteria for your whitelist and would like to be part of it. (I have one -rep, which is like 0,5% of my total rep.. You might want to check out both stories if you are interested. I still don't like how it was handled unfortunately)

Welcome to my whitelist! :-)
Your trading ordeal reminds me why I'm glad I don't trade any more. Too stressful, for too little benefit. Giveaways are normally more fun, except for when you encounter a really bad winner and Support leaves you the option of delivering the game or being suspended. Then it's not so much fun.

It's comfy on your whitelist :3
Yea I'm switching more and more to just give away my extra copies instead of trying to trade for them. In the beginning (and I only joined Steam, and everything related to it, this year) it was very good because I needed/wanted lots of games from previous bundles that I simply missed. My trading experiences have been very good for the big majority of time though :)

Could I join your whitelist? :D I think I pass the criteria

Of course they're stations! Why else would you need to stop in each and every one before getting to the next? I mean, maybe if you were seated in the back. But then what?! You get in the train and...? What does it do? It just stays there?
I've always seen trains as more of a "train ride", tbh.

What you say makes so much sense, that I'm really surprised Stations came last in this poll. I think I'll adopt this terminology if I do a train again (I've pretty much settled on just listing the giveaways and letting people practice their favorite method of opening many links, see poll).

I think I meet the criteria.
May I join your WL?

Voted Carriage. Assuming we are riding the train, it's 'single units' must be for passengers, right?

this always works to get to their whitelist.

I'm not sure if I qualify or not, but I thought I'd give it a shot. I'm pretty new to SG as an active user and I want to get as many "connections" as I can. Starting my own Mafia, maybe.
Edit: Picking the Wagon, because I'm jumping on the Bandwagon.

Who doesn't love getting onto a giveaway car, all us giveaway hobos love guests in our cars.
Comment has been collapsed.
I believe I qualify. Also, car. Not because I'm sure it's right, but because it's the shortest. Welcome to SoCal English, abbreviate everything.

I already added you to my whitelist 3 months ago :-)
As a non-native English speaker the first thing that comes to mind when I hear the word Car is what used to be called automobile. I know better now, but will probably use wagon in the railroad context.
Comment has been collapsed.
Oh. I, uh, I knew that. Right. Shhhhhh.
Yes, car is usually used for what is known as an automobile in world wide English, but I haven't heard people use wagon much here. Mind you, I don't spend a ton of time on trains, but, yeah. 'Murica loves to reuse words and be insufferably ambiguous, so the use of car in the context of trains. Railcar would be the other alternative, but I grew up in the Southwest and went to school in Socal, so we tend to be a bit more brief in word choice, so that contributes to the ambiguity.

If You stop at the giveaway, then it's a station.
Do I meet the requirements for whitelist? :D
Comment has been collapsed.
Well I voted cars, but then I realized that station could also make sense since you're kinda stopping at each giveaway... well anyway pretty sure i meet the requirements :P

Oh I didn't know about this thread, thanks for the bumper. They're called train cars, wagons and the rest are entirely different vehicles.
Here's a useless bit of awesome trivia: There's an Advanced Dungeons and Dragons spell called "Demonic Conveyance" which I always thought would be a suitably brutal name for a blackened thrash or perhaps death metal band.
A conveyance is a means of transportation, hence the relevance to the topic.

i think i meet your requirements.
thx for all of your giveaways anyway.
Comment has been collapsed.
It's a wagon indeed.
I think i meet your requirments aswell, did not even won a giveaway yet, and i'm level 3 now.
Comment has been collapsed.
You don't meet the "Registered more than a month ago", but I can lax this one. Added! :-)
Your level/no-wins situation allows you to join the giveaways on this thread. You're not likely to find better winning odds anywhere else on this site, not for a long while. Get them while they're hot ;-)

Oh hey, there's a whitelist recruitment going on here! Do I qualify?
Comment has been collapsed.
I meet requirements. If You still have some free space I'm ready for whitelising :)
Comment has been collapsed.
Added! :-)
And speaking of free space, I think I'm going to be the first to test the 1000 user whitelist limit. I'm 75% of the way there. Thankfully my blacklist is far behind.

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!
