I think this train wont work well for everyone because of the blacklists.
Lets say giveaway creator A has person X on his blacklist but giveaway creator B doesn't have person X on his blacklist.
If person A's giveaways come first, the person X wont be able to reach person B's giveaways, nor the giveaways of all the other giveaway creators even if those people don't have the person X on their blacklist.

GAs where you're blacklisted are just an annoyance like the regular underground closures they have every weekend. You work around them by taking a different route. There are so many different lines and connections that most people should be able to reach every possible point.
And if there's a particular station that turns out to be a problem, then we'll figure out a way to make it work.

I'm glad to hear that this is well thought through. Shouldn't have doubted ya ^_^

I think it will work well for most people.
So long as you're a nice human being :-)

With so many elitists on SG and people that blacklist you just for having a different opinion then them on any matter being a "nice human being" is not enough to avoid being blacklisted.
I see you personally have me on your blacklist, and so do certain other people that will be making giveaways for the train. As do the two people that replied to your message.

Some people blacklist you just cause you exist...

How to simple connect with line operators? For now no one at group chat :)
Hm... It looks like too late choose the stations :(
2 days without the Internet ...

We hooked Conwell into a couple spare stations we had left over. Two more stations available for somebody who just missed everything, ping me in chat if that's you!

I'm also hanging in chat for a while cause I'm pretty sure it's very late for Per3zat! If anyone needs to post some GA links, I can update the spreadsheet. But if I don't answer right away, don't panic - I'm just packing to move this week :-)
Comment has been collapsed.
so.. are all spots are taken?
can anyone jump in at last moment (what is last moment /day to give links to operators?) to increase length of train?
Comment has been collapsed.
2 spots left. We only create GAs for where there's an Underground station, i.e. the number is fix and will not change. Last moment is probably soon, given the interest, but is no later than Monday evening (I'll pick up the remaining slots at that time).
Comment has been collapsed.
Two spots remain - we're closing up by tomorrow, so if you'd like to participate, now's the time to speak up :-)
Comment has been collapsed.
So once the stations are set, anyone can submit private links to the station heads? Are the days listed in the original post for this week or next?
Comment has been collapsed.
Yes - there are two stations on the Circle Line that are free. If you'd like to take them, then please friend me on Steam and send me the links via PM. You must be willing to edit the text on Tues/Wed with the updates to various stations and also make them "private/invite only GA's" - level is up to you.
The end date is October 17th... if you look at Per3zat's Mini Metro GA, the end time will show you your "local" time... Set them to start "now" and then when we "go-live" on Friday you won't have to worry about the start time :-)
Comment has been collapsed.
Oh, I don't want the responsibility of managing a station. YOU do not want to give me that responsibility, I assure you. I just want to submit a giveaway or two to one of the station managers.
Comment has been collapsed.
Owning a station means just that, you'll be perfectly fine. Owning a line is different, but Momo1991 does a good job at that already, so you don't have to worry!
Comment has been collapsed.
Ok, I have two spots on "my" line and sent you a friend request on Steam to facilitate getting the GA links. If you send me GA links by tomorrow evening that fit the specs of "Private/Invite only", Non-region restricted, End on 10/17 around the same time as this GA, and are willing to update the GA descriptions on Wed/Thursday, then that's cool. Otherwise Per3zat will fill them :-)
Comment has been collapsed.
Any operator can take all your GA links and add them to the spreadsheet, no need to speak to multiple persons.
Damn, that immediately made me happy that there was a nice spreadsheet to play with, cause I love those, then confused that I didn't see any links, and then annoyed with myself with being stupid enough to think something like that would be public ;-)

any updates?
if anyone got Earls Court Road please please please add something related to "doctor who"?
it is there

Descriptions are being distributed. The trains are being formed. Trainpocalyse is coming.

Wait, we're already at this stage?
I asked if I could have the Jubilee line in the original thread, but never got any confirmation.
Is it taken now?
I'm confused @-@
Comment has been collapsed.
What Zareh said but also Jubilee was completely commandeered by adam1224 :P
Comment has been collapsed.
I'll be honest, I'm a bit annoyed now.
adam1224 posted here with this as the answer: " let me know in advance (before the 2nd week) so I don't open the sign-up form for that line to others!"
No mention of the Jubilee line.
I had already posted before that. When I saw that info about informing which lines you want if you take a full one before the sign ups I asked for the Jubilee line but got no answer.
I know this is a big event and things can be confusing to moderate, but I really don't see where else I should have asked for the full line if not there, before the sign-ups. As asked for.
And as the second thread only says "Some lines (Bakerloo, Circle, Hammersmith & City, Jubilee, Victoria and Waterloo & City) were reserved by well-meaning individuals, and no stations are available for sign-up on those." with no info as to who got those lines it made me think I got it.
I still hope this event turns out to be a big success, but yeah, I feel overlooked and left out :(

Ouch, sorry to hear that. I guess Per missed your reply (with so many replies I guess it can happen).
Comment has been collapsed.
i also wanted to help. with the lines. but at least i got 3 stations. almost missed them...
maybe there will be another train big event
you could organize it, which other great train there are? maybe all of the Europe crossing trains
Comment has been collapsed.
Yep, London Underground turned out to be too small :(
We need something much bigger :D
Comment has been collapsed.
or limit the number of stations to one each. it will be more funny...
if no more people wanted, ask who wants another. until all the slots are taken.
next step: airports! start with international ones ;)
Comment has been collapsed.
Don't get me wrong, not trying to argue but Per's reply to adam was posted at 6:30 am (in my timezone at least) and your request to take Jubilee was posted 7:05 am. It's possible adam and Per talked in chat during that time. Also, as Budgie said, I'm sure his message box was very crowded and he didn't overlook you intentionally.
Comment has been collapsed.
I'm sorry Toast, totally overlooked the 2nd part of your reply, I only remember the first one :-(
I do plan to pull off another such event if this turns out successful, and would love to count you in next time around.
Now I don't think we should do London twice, so what other train network event would you enjoy being part of?
Comment has been collapsed.
next step: airports! start with international ones ;)
the only thing big enough :)
or interstate trains

Just dropped by in chat but no officer was there so I'll ask my questions here.
So far I understand that there are some line operators managing the giveaways that other people create on specific stations. So there are a number of questions I have:
- Does every station have one giveaway only?
- How many stations are there in total?
- How many stations are still available?
- What if giveaways end up to be more than available stations?
- Should we wait to see how many stations are still available and then create the giveaways?
- Can we choose specific stations for our giveaways?

Hello tragikos,
im not a officer but i i think i can answer some of your questions.
The sign up process was already done some days ago here
There you could have reserved your stations of interest and there is all stuff explained too. I dont know if maybe are still stations available. But they planned it really well and you could try to add one of the officers/operators as steamfriend and try to ask them direct there:)
Hope i could help a bit:)
Comment has been collapsed.
Thanks, seems I missed that sign-up topic... Thanks for the clarifications
Comment has been collapsed.
Every station has one giveaway per line.
There are around 380 stations total.
None, I'm afraid. :(
The sign-up process guarantees that there can't be.
I'm sorry, it's too late now. All giveaways have been created.
You could, previously.
Comment has been collapsed.
Oh, I have the description for my station. Now I could go surfing the lines prematurely if I want ;-)
Comment has been collapsed.
I'm just curious if everything is going as planed, cause there are still some GAs without description.
Do you think the train goes live tomorrow? :D
Comment has been collapsed.
I was wondering if I missed this event. Good to see that's not the case.
I offered to put in some ga's, but may have missed the official sign up thread. If you're still looking to fix some gaps, let me know!

Hope you've seen the other posts about this, otherwise go read up on it here: Let's Train: London Underground "Mind the Gap" edition.
