Welcome to the Scorched seed train
 
Train is continental US only.
 
To join you must have at least 100 constructive posts and have been on THP for at least 3 months. This is to help prevent high jacking. Constructive post just means you haven't gone to the Welcome thread and posted a bunch of times just to meet the post quota.
 
 
How does it work?
 
This is a seed train for pepper seeds (tomatoes are ok). I have a package of seeds that will be shipped to each person on the list. Once you receive the train, go through it and take a few seeds of whatever you are planning to actually grow. This isn't to increase your collection. Put your contributions in the package and send it to the next person on the list. It is your responsibility to contact that person and make sure they're going to be around. If there's no response from that person let me know and we will possibly skip that person if necessary. If you take seeds then you must add seeds.
 
Cost of shipping the train to the person after you is your responsibility. Depending on the size of the current train this could be anywhere from $6-$13. This is the only cost of this train. Don't let the train get to you and then not be able to send it out. We use USPS Flat Rate Shipping because it's the best option for all that you get. We are currently using a padded flat rate envelope. If you need padded flat rate envelopes and your post office doesn't have them, go here https://store.usps.com/store/browse/uspsProductDetailMultiSkuDropDown.jsp?categoryNavIds=shipping-supplies%3aflat-rate-shipping&categoryNav=false&navAction=push&navCount=0&atg.multisite.remap=false&categoryId=flat-rate-shipping&productId=P_EP14PE. You will need to make an account (free). The shipping supplies are free and will be delivered right to your home. Make sure you have one before the train gets to you.
 
Tracking # must be given as soon as the package goes out. Since some are concerned with privacy, I will no longer ask that you post the tracking # in this thread. If you're ok with doing so then go for it. If not you must PM the tracking # to me and to the person the train is headed to. If you're not posting the # just make a post letting everyone know the train is on the move. The tracking is free with the flat rate shipping and will be on your receipt (if you've never done this before).
 
 
Please no glass. Powders are fine.
 
I reserve the right to remove anyone at anytime from the train if they are causing trouble or not following the rules. Same goes for joining this train. If you've caused trouble in another train or have been shady in other dealings you won't be invited. This is just to help protect the property of all the other participants.
 
You don't need to constantly post in this thread but keep an eye on it so you know when your turn is coming up
 
Once you get the train, get it back out ASAP. Things pop up (work, emergencies, etc) and if you need to have the train more than two days let us know. The quicker everyone is the more rounds we can get in. If your turn is coming up and you realize you wont be around let me know and I'll switch you with someone else. We don't want the train sitting at the post office or in someone's mailbox for a week.
 
Make sure you label all your seed contributions. I like to put a piece of paper with the name inside the seed baggie. Writing on the bag in marker tends to wear off and then we're left with mystery seeds. Put your THP name as well. That way if someone has a question about a variety or those seeds put out a cool cross they can contact the person.
 
If you agree to the above just post Add me.
 
Once I post the finalized order, PM your name and address to the person before you on the list. If you don't get the info from the person you're supposed to ship to after multiple attempts let me know. Don't wait til the last minute.
 
If you need to get off the train at any point or need to be moved to a later spot just let me know.
 
To get on early or not? Decisions :p
 
Ah well, I'd like to get in on it, I'll make sure to reserve some cash on hand for the Post costs.
 
Trading a lot, so I'll have some great varieties to add.
 
Thank you Scorched.
 
Awesome, looks like we're starting to fill up nicely. I have the train all ready to roll out so hopefully we'll get a few more if not fill up and I can send her out this week

If you'll make an exception to your posts requirement I'd be happy to join.
 
You've been a member for a while so exception made, welcome to the train!

I've made one small change to how I will handle a possible round 2. The wall o' text has been updated but I'll note the change here to save everyone from having to read the novel at the top.  I will close the train to riders once we are full and won't reopen until the train reaches the end of the line. At that time I'll reopen to repeat riders as well as new riders. Any repeat rider is welcome to ride again and I will make sure to sort the new list so that repeat riders don't end up with the train right away again. This is how Coheed did his train and seemed to work much more smoothly than how I had planned on doing it.
