Olympic Event - Newbie train building

This will be the only popularity contest in the game. At any given time, you can ask an official to monitor you in your attempt to build the biggest newbie train.
The idea is that you go to Alpen and ask random people to put themselves on follow mode on you. You have 10 minutes to gather as many newbies as you can find. After 10 minutes, you need to start walking through Alpen Field a little and the official will count how many newbies are following you. The biggest train wins.
Though cheating with alts of friends is hard to check, try not to do it. The joke is to let the newbies have some fun too and getting new players involved.

You can use ANY tactic to convince a newbie to join you. Bribes, friendship, *cough*lovely*cough* pictures of you, anything. Just make sure to have fun in this minigame.
