Hello, friends! I'm Lance Montour and I run Headworks, the place where you'll get the best and most stylish hats here on Menewsha. What many of you probably don't know is that apart from tending the shop, I also help out at the train station, I love trains!
Trains are the only public transport around here (apart from boats) so the system's always being worked on and that's what I'm here to tell you about! Something really exciting is about to be unveiled and you get to be involved! All this year, new lines have been under construction. Previously, the tracks went around the flat outskirts of the island, but now they go right inland and even up into the mountains!
To celebrate the opening of the new lines, a very special inaugural train tour has been arranged. The train will travel around the island and stopping off at the new stations. It's not a whistle stop trip either, it's a proper vacation! The train is super luxurious, set with private cabins, fantastic meals 3 times a day in the dining cars and 2 awesome dome cars where you'll be able to have an amazing view of the passing countryside. The train will stop overnight in every location, so you'll have 2 whole days for exploring each area it visits. You can sleep in your comfy cabin on the train, or find some local accomodation at the stops if you fancy a change of scene.
Fancy an upgrade?
I'm not sure if I'm supposed to have these, but I won't tell if you don't. :ninja: Either way, I've got my hands on some VIP tickets for the trip. If you have one of these it means you could get free accommodation anywhere in any of the places we stop. Not just that, but free food too! Pretty amazing, right? I'm going to be selling these tickets for a little bit of gold, then I'm going to do a prize draw for all the ticket holders, and after that I'll split the gold between the winners! More about that later. :D
What's in a name?
A good question, what is in a name? Do you know? You get to choose one though :D
Not only do we have lots of new train lines, but we've got a shiny new engine for this special trip, too! So new that it doesn't even have a name yet! So in the time before the trip we have to pick a name for our lovely new engine! More on that later too. ;D
When the ticket sales close, I'll pool all the gold received and do a prize draw for all the ticket holders. The winners will receive the collected gold split amongst them!
I'll close the sale of tickets when the event starts, so make sure you grab one while you can. ;D
Important Notice!
If the event has started and you have yet to collect your tickets, they would be called back!
Make sure to accept your trades!
P.S. - No refunds given.
In celebration of the new engine, it is my great pleasure to announce that the folks of Menewsha (which means all of you) are being given the opportunity to name it before the launch! Isn't that grand? I'm so excited to hear some of your great suggestions! If you have one, fill in the form below and drop it off here!
The suggestion box is now closed! Thank you for all your suggestions, everyone! :D
A name would now be selected to be engraved on a shiny brass plate for the new engine. I hope the process won't take too long! :boogie:
Simply send me a donation or trade with the gold and state your purpose! :D
It seems I've neglected to mention that bit. I'll fix that.
Thank you. :) I'll send my ticket right now. Also, can my mule Burger King get a ticket just for the fun of it? He'll like to ride the train too. He'll send his gold soon.
