Just for fun, I'm proposing another contest. No purchase necessary -- anyone can enter. The grand prize this time is a Large Bundle of 500 Quills!

Here's the premise: Trains stopped running a good while ago. You just know that people must have been scribbling. What do you think might be scrawled on those walls by now?

Contest Rules:
1. Go to your favourite Train Station. There are eight of them. If you don't know where they are, ask! Someone will know.

2. Find the room where you see the words NO CASH FARE. In the chat space, write comments that might be graffiti on the walls of that station. Specials are fine. If you don't have any, regular comments are also fine.

3. Enter as many times as you like.

4. Prizes:
Eight Station Prizes of 50 Quills, worth $4.95 each, for the best line of graffiti in each of the eight stations. You clever people will have instantly realized that your chances of winning will be better in a less-frequented Station.

Grand Prize, 500 Quills, worth $24.94, for the overall best bit of verbal vandalism. You know me by now -- I like silly, I like witty, I like literate, I like puns, I like in-character, I like weird. I like what Islanders write!

5. To be eligible, entries must be made before the end of December 11th, 2013. (Eastern Standard Time: GMT-5.)

6. After the contest has closed I will award the prizes, then make a free downloadable PDF out of the entries and add it to the Trains! deck shop page.

You've got ~~one week~~ ONE DAY left. Go!
