Alas, from toDay I'm officially one year older. Life's shit, gets shittier, but you're not here to Watch me brood, just grab your piece of obligatory caketrain and move along. As a form of minor bot protection we have a simple nono since y'all seem to like them. I hate 'em. Yes, it's because I'm bad at them. And a jigidi because I like them despite also being bad at them Yes, you have to do both nono and jigi. You'll have to excuse the poor picture. I was gonna google an image of cake to use but given that nowadays pretty much everything you google is AI slop made with stolen artworks I figuerd I'd rather draw one myself. yes, I'm also bad at drawing
It's mostly lvl 3+, runs for a week, a mix of trash and less trash games. It's probably way too complicated of a puzzle for such a poor selection but, oh well... And remember: when in doubt - run from the top.

[SOLUTION]
With all the gifts redeemed and only 3 people who can't even type a few letters after recieving free stuff, I'm posting the solution to the puzzle, as I promised.
First you had 3 emphasied letters in the text - each in a different way: D was italicized, next was W as a hyperlink leading to rick roll (sometimes people just blindly click links without reading the posts hoping they'll go directly to GAs), and lastly was letter j which was bolded. note: initially W was bolded and j was a link but after creating the post I realised that lowercase j perfectly hides link so I've swapped these 2 to make the puzzles a little easier Now, all 3 were noticeable just looking closely at the body of the text but they still might be tricky to notice for some, hence the hint I've left aplenty and the default way to look for special characters in wall of text inspect You can right click anywhere on the text and select the option to "inspect" or "view source" or something similar, whatever your web browser might call it. There you'll see raw html making the site and conspicuous tags in the middle of a text instead of the visual effects appled to certain letters. Now with the 3 letters you were basically halfway through the puzzle. All was left to do were first the nonogram that'd yield the letter a and a jigidi which gave latter V. Now all you had to do was asseble the letters into the giveaway code. Here's where the last hint came into play - to run from the top i.e. from the beggining. The letters were in order you found them giving you the code DWjaV which put into the standard giveaway link opened the first cart of the train!

That's all folks! Thanks for playing. Thanks for all the birthday wishes! We'll probably meet again in december for my cakeday or maybe I'll do something before that, who knows! This mesage will self-destruct in... soon :)

My eyes aren't very good. I had to struggle way too long to figure out the last clue in the text.

I literally can't think of any other ways to hint at it other than what I've been saying all around. You just need to inspect the post.
that's like the most basic and rudimentary form of obfusctaion, I bet half the more competent bots are beating it now nevertheless people still can't get past it! I hope you'll figure it out in time,
in any case I will be posting the solution in the main body after the train is over...
