: Wish Package Trains Guidelines :) and Current Package Trains Running :)
THIS STICKY IS FOR WISH PACKAGE TRAINS NOT OFFICIAL SC EXCHANGES
OFFICIAL PACKAGE TRAIN GUIDELINES
GENERAL RULES
- There will be only one package train running at any one time with the exception of the Advent Train as it takes longer (if riding the Advent train, your package must have been received before you can join another train).
- Package trains will be open for boarding for a minimum of 24 hours
- Seats on each train may be limited. The conductor and mods will confirm your seat. Until that time you are not a rider on the train.
- All package trains must be approved by the trade/train mod. (Jezebel – contact FallenPixels if for any reason Jezebel is unavailable)
- SmartCanucks owner / mods / admins /poster of this thread and conductor are in no way responsible for any lost / stolen / misplaced gifts.
All riders are approved by a team who work hard to ensure that package trains run smoothly and everyone receives their gift.
You are not a rider until your place on the train is confirmed by this team
