The Wild Which Way Train!

The train where you help determine the ride!

10 riders
4 assigned envies.
25 coupons each.
Open to any member with a 30+ iTrader rating and no negative!

Here�s the ride:

After reading this WHOLE THREAD and making sure you understand all the rules, here's how to sign up for this train.

1. Post a reply below telling me that you want a ticket.
2. Then send me a PM with the following:
* �Which Way Train� in the title
* your full name
* your mailing address
* a link to your wishlist (the link in your siggy is fine if it's up to date)

*Please note: you can only ride up to three trains (including conducting) at a time at HCW. If you are already on three trains, don�t sign up. You can catch the next one!

This is how this train will work:
(Please read carefully, this is NOT your standard train!)

For this train, I will take 10 people on the ride.

But there are no predetermined matchups. Instead I will post something that looks like this once we have our rider list.

............Envie #1 ...... Envie #2 ......Envie #3 ...... Envie #4

Rider 1
Rider 2
Rider 3
Rider 4
Rider 5
Rider 6
Rider 7
Rider 8
Rider 9
Rider 10

On Friday, Oct. 16, I will mail 10 potluck envies, one to each rider on this train. I will write "Envie #1" on the outside of each one.

When you receive your #1 envie, you will report your envie as received.

You will then pick any rider on the rider list and send them a potluck envie with #2 written on the outside. If someone has already been picked, you must pick someone else. This way, everyone is assured that they will receive an envie. As you post your picks, I will fill in the blanks on the chart.

Repeat again, this time receiving Envie #2 and mailing out Envie #3 to a new rider of your choosing.

Repeat again, this time mailing out Envie #4

Finally, when you receive Envie #4, you will mail a final potluck back to me.

So grand total you will be responsible for four envies and you will receive four envies. Each envie will be a 25-coupon potluck. See additional info below for guidelines about what you should and should not include.

This train will proceed as fast as you want it to, so it could take as little as two weeks and could take up to four or five (let's hope not). Please sign up with those guidelines in mind.

In order to take this ride:

*You must be a member of the Trader group on HCW and have 30+ unique and NO negative feedback ratings.

*You must be able to mail envies on the mailing dates given. On my trains, I like to limit confusion, so no early mailing, please!

*You must be able to send out 100 quality coupons. That's 25 coupons inside each of the 4 envies.

*I�d like to give folks a chance to use the coupons before they expire. So please send coupons that have at least two weeks before they expire.

*You must have a posted, updated wishlist to ride.

When you take a ticket, you are agreeing to:

*�mail the envies as described above.

*�write your user name, �Which Way Train� AND the number envie on the outside of each envie you send.

*�post promptly in this thread when you send and when you receive envies.

*� remail your envie if it has not been received at the two week point. Joining this train means you agree to this rule. Please remember, that when you sign up to join a train, not only are you agreeing to the specific guidelines of that train but the train rules as posted HERE in general. Failing to follow the rules of the trains or not sending an envelope falls under a bad trade. You can be reported for this and be listed as a bad trader.

ALSO PLEASE NOTE: If you are the receiving end of an envie and have not posted that you have not received it by the two-week mark, it will automatically be considered received and marked received.

Additional fine print:

*No baby, no meds, no booze and no oddball products that very few members use unless you have an exact wishlist match. In other words, no junk!

*Limit of one copy of each coupon unless it is an exact match to a wishlist. An EXACT match is exactly that� if I say on my wishlist 75/1 Superpretzels, 50/2 is NOT an exact match. If you have and exact wishlist match, then duplicates are encouraged!

*You can always send more than 25. If you want to include more than one of a certain coupon, or some with a short expiration date, that is OK, but it has to be above the 25 coupon minimum. And if you do send extras, watch your postage!

*Printables, store-specific coupons, BTFE, Campbell�s Labels, Coke Codes, Pepsi Codes, etc., are great to send if the member can use them.

*Rebates and TMF forms are GREAT to include (just be sure they can be used in the state the receiver is in!).

*If for any reason you mail out late (life happens), post in the thread when it went out so your receiving rider can watch for it.

*Please leave feedback for fellow riders who send to you!

*Please also note that this is a potluck train! I hope that riders will try to match the wish lists of their assigned recipients, but just do the best you can. As long as you adhere to the other rules about expiration dates, minimum number of coupons and mailing on the mailing dates, you should be fine.

*You can always PM the member directly if you have questions about what they can or cannot use.

*And finally, if you have questions about the progress of this train or whether a trader sent you an envie that does not meet the requirements for this train, you can always contact me.

WHEW! OK, if you made it through all that and would like to ride, send me that PM and post below!

Names start black and will turn PURPLE when mailed. They will then turn GRAY when received.

***PLEASE REMEMBER: In each round of mailing, you must pick a rider that has not already been picked. This is very important to make this train go smoothly. Thank you! Please post as you send (including the name of the rider you chose) and receive!

OK folks, we are just about ready to pull out of the station with this one! I will send a mailing list later today by PM.

Since the start of the train is dependent entirely on me, I don't see any point in waiting till Friday to start. I will send the #1 envies either tomorrow or Thursday, depending on how quickly I can get everything together.

Thanks to all for riding! Here's to a great choo choo!!!
