RAOK train.

Lola’s RAOK Challenge & Exchange Train

I hosted a train like this quite awhile ago and thought it would be nice to try another one. The first one was a huge success.

Because of the nature of this train I am asking riders to have a 10 or higher trade rating (or if someone can vouch for you).

Here is the link that inspired me to host the original RAOK Challenge & Exchange train: http://ticklestogiggles.blogspot.ca/...s-awesome.html




Part One of the train is the RAOK Challenge:
Riders will perform at least one RAOK and post it in the thread. Please post a picture whenever possible. Be creative! At the end of the train, we’ll host a contest for the best RAOK. I will send the winner a special prize!

I have added the poll contest already because you have to add the poll when creating the thread. PLEASE don't vote until the train is over. Voting is multiple choice (you may choose more than one rider) and it is also a public vote (people can see who you voted for). I did this so that only riders on this train choose the winner (hopefully no one starts randomly voting but you never know...).



Part two of the train is the RAOK exchange:
I will randomly give each rider a buddy that will have to send an RAOK to (well not so random but you get the point).
**There will be NO wishlists for this!!**

Riders will have to search and learn about their buddy in order to send them something wonderful. For example; you see your buddy posted they want to see a specific movie, you could send them a copy/dvd or movie ticket or perhaps you want to keep it to coupons, you can search all your buddy’s wishlist(s) and make a great envie for them. Again be creative and spoil your buddy!!!

Riders will be required to send me their username, real name & info and a few lines about themselves to give their buddy a bit of a start.


Mail date is Sunday April 26th


**The point of this train is kindness so please don’t join unless you plan to be kind. There is no minimum requirement for sending, but I really don’t want to see people sending crappy envies in order to get something great in return. If we are all generous then I can continue to host this style train. Please don't ruin it for everyone! **

I can't believe more people haven't joined this yet. This looks like an amazing train and I would hate for it to be cancelled due to a lack of interest.

I'm really hoping that people have just been busy with the Easter week-end and we'll get some riders this week.

For this train to run we will need 8 riders though, so hopefully people join!

[Anna Michele]

I have been busy I read through it quick last week and didnt really register much. I checked out the link to your inspiration and this is such a great idea. Sign me up.

[coupontime]

Just curious when the mail date is, I like the idea but given I am trying to spoil my buddy, I probably need time. I have assignment due next week so not sure how much shopping/researching can be done. I like to make sure I can commit to it before signing up.

I'm thinking the train will take a while to fill.

I'll set the mail date for April 25th.

That should give everyone lots of time, even if it takes us a few more days to fill.

Let me know what you think

[coupontime]

Sounds good, that would give me ample time, I'm in

[macw1960]

Sign me up too please then.

[JadeAngel]

Is it possible for me to sign up? I haven't done any types of trains in years. I've done 1 type of coupon train since I joined SC way back in 2009. I've done several package trains but I think interest in that one is done for now.

I have a certain stack of coupons that I need to use and would be a shame to go to waste.

[sweetmomma]

I would like to join please! Don't have many coupons or a current WL as I am not on here as often as I'd like to be!
