I have a super idea to improve GoldToken! You'll implement it, right? The answer is: maybe! We LOVE to hear ideas from players for new features, improvements to existing games and features, game variants, etc. However, we do have a schedule for upcoming improvements and additions and it's not always possible to "sneak in" requests here and there, and sometimes things are more complicated than they seem. If you'd like to submit your idea, here's the place to do it: [ Feature requests ]. Post your ideas, and our team will review them when considering new programming tasks! * If you have a question about a site tip or helpful tool you would like answered next month, please send GoldToken's Newshound a message before the 25th of this month.

{ Image: i994.photobucket.com/albums/af66/llwgirl/animals/WolfRose.gif } **~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~** We would like to say to RabidWolff of the Wolf Pack for letting us step into their personal life for a bit. 1. What brought you to GoldToken? I used to play at IYT and a friend there told me about . Once I spent a little time on GT I never went back to IYT. GT is a much more friendly atmosphere, and then when they came up with the idea of clubs that made it so much better! How'd you choose your name for GT? I wanted to honor my late grandmother and her maiden name was Wolff, then I just wanted something unique to go with it and decided upon RabidWolff. My The Wolf Pack Club is also named in honor of my grandmother. 2. What interests you most on GT? Well aside from the games, the answer would definitely have to be the clubs. I live & breathe The Wolf Pack Club. I spend many hours every week just working on the club. We run a lot of tournaments that include postcard tournaments, prize tournaments and our own Wolf Pack Olympics for which I also give prizes for. And The Wolf Pack Club has open invites for anyone that would like to join. Favorite game here? Hmmm, hard to single it down to one game. I would have to say Tourne-case, Thematic Hangman, Small Barricade and Mahjong. 3. What State or Country do you reside in? Connecticut, USA What in your State do you think tourists should definitely see? Kent Falls is a beautiful place, but also Mystic Seaport & Aquarium 4. What hobbies do you have? Well I used to do a lot of fishing (trout & salmon), but now that I don't get around very well my number one hobby is GT and The Wolf Pack Club. 5. Children? Grandchildren? I have three grown step-children and one step-grandson. 6. Do you work? Yes, until I hit the lottery. ! What kind of work do/did you do? I have spent my entire life working in the grocery business. I work in the corporate office as a DSD Pricing Coordinator for a small chain of stores in three states. What that means is that I maintain all of the pricing $$$$ (sale and regular) of all items in the stores that arrive at the store on something other than company trucks. Examples would be Pepsi, Frito Lay and Wonder bread. (unknown photo) 7. Any pets? Oh yes! I've always had animals in my life. My current pet is "Boo" my black & white cat. (unknown photo) 8. Are you under 30?___ 30 to 50? ___ or over 50? Male or Female? I'm a female over 50 9. What's the farthest you've been from home? For vacation or for business? Back when I was in my twenties I traveled to Ireland and England on vacation 10. If you could be anywhere right now where would that be? My roots run very deep so I'm not sure that I would ever move... but I love the Virginia/Tennessee area. 11. Favorite season? Spring or Fall, I don't like the extreme temperatures of summer & winter. 12. Favorite movie? It's hard to name just one. I love The Ten Commandments, The Audie Murphy Story, The Hunt for Red October. There are really many others I could name Actor? Again, hard to name just one. I'm going with Denzel Washington and Tom Hanks. Actress? Hmmm, I think I'll say Peggy Hyra since we went to school together. What's wrong, don't you know who she is??? Let me give you her stage name... Meg Ryan. Song? Wow, I'm country music, and yet my two favorite songs are not country (isn't that strange?) My two favorite songs are "He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother" and "Hotel California". 13. If you could meet anyone (living and dead) in the world. Who would it be ? I'm guessing that I'm supposed to name someone that I've never met before... but my answer instead is going to be my late mother. I was very close to my mom and miss her very much, I would love to just be able to spend another day with her. If there are any questions you would like to see asked in future interviews, please let us know. Laura laura lee
A friend at IYT told me about GT so I thought I would try it. That was 5 years ago. I wanted a game site that I could make a play when I wanted to and for as long as I wanted to. GT is perfect for that. In the 5 years that I have been here, I have met some wonderful people and consider them good friends although we will probably never meet in person. I was asked a couple of years back to help work in a couple of clubs and since I am retired I thought I could do that. I have since learned how hard the owners of all the clubs work to make games for people to play. Not enough credit is given to them as they spend "countless hours" thinking up new ideas for their clubs to make it more interesting and fun for their members. I love GT and hope to play here for many more years to come. tquah

We have a winner for 2016's Best Original Poem contest!to Lori, who won with this original poem: He Died for Me by Lori My Heavenly Father Died For Me One terrible day on Calvary Where a glorious crown should be They put a crown of thorns. He Died For Me. The laughed and scorned him Pounded spikes into his hands. Oh, the torture He did bear For this worthless man. He Died For Me. They thrust a spear into his side, And one of his dear disciples His Lord he did deny. He knew him not he did say thrice And then looked upon the cross At his suffering Christ. He let them hang him on the cross to die And many a times I ask myself...WHY?? I am not worthy of a love so great For as the days go by Some commandment I do break. Yes..He Died....BUT HE AROSE AGAIN And some wonderful, glorious day He'll be back to take us home with HIM. So keep his commandments as he told us to Because He not only died for me.. HE DIED FOR YOU!!!
