Acceptable Use Policy We have created this family site with an eye toward making games available to anyone who wants to play. We have spent a lot of time making sure that the games work on many different systems and appeal to players of all ages. To this end, we also need to stipulate rules about what we feel is and is not acceptable use of this site. These are to protect everyone's gaming enjoyment and are strictly enforced. GoldToken.com reserves the right to change the nature of its policies at any time. Warning: Having multiple accounts is considered cheating. We routinely scan for multiple accounts and offending members will be banned from GoldToken.By signing up on this site and agreeing to abide by our site’s policies, each player is bound to the following terms, conditions and rules: 1. Indecent or obscene nick-names are strictly prohibited and will be moderated. GoldToken is a family site and only permits names suitable to be seen by all ages. The same rule applies for your profile area; keep it clean and decent for viewers of any age. All profiles must follow the same criterion as our Discussion Board Rules. Violations to this rule results in profile or name fields to be permanently moderated. Please see Account Name Rules for more information in this regard. 2. Guest accounts are limited at two individual guest accounts per household or company. Any further accounts are required to purchase a GoldToken membership within 7 business days from sign up to avoid being closed. This allows payments that are sent by mail ample time to arrive at our business to be applied to your account. 3. Accessing the site using more than one account per person or allowing others to access the site using your account is strictly prohibited. GoldToken does not allow shared accounts for any reason; this includes family, spouse and/or friends. Never reveal your account password to others. Violations to this policy subjects players to forfeit all future privileges for adding further accounts for other members of their household and/or company. GoldToken reserves the right to investigate any and all suspected multiple accounts. 4. GoldToken.com strictly prohibits players from 'switching' to a new account for any reason other than security issues. This means, you will not simply be able to move into any other account for reasons such as, unhappiness with ratings, wanting to be incognito, feel like starting new, etc. Players in violation of this rule will subject their main account, as well as any others linked to them, to possible suspension or ban and forfeit all future privileges for adding further accounts for other members of their household and/or company. Players who, under false pretenses, pretend to be a second person in the home to gain access to a second account, forfeit all membership rights. Don't do it - you will be caught! You must notify GoldToken Support for further information or for assistance with any security issues regarding this rule prior to setting up any new accounts. 5. Cheating will not be tolerated. Players, who create or participate in operating extra accounts to be used for cheating to manipulate ratings, will result in all accounts being terminated. Any individual in violation of this rule will be banned from the site for a period of time or indefinitely. GoldToken reserves the right to investigate any and all reported incidents of possible cheating. 6.

GoldToken reserves the right to investigate all reported harassment of players. 12.

June's game of the month is Word O'Rama Race-Around! Join us in a fun Double Elimination Tournament by signing up today for The June 2015 Game ofthe Month Word O'Rama Race-Around Tournament! In this CrossDowns variant, we have a combination of word-game solitaire and a race. In the regular CrossDowns Race game, you simply start in a corner and head towards the center. You start off with only 5 tiles in your rack. If you happen to land on a square with 5 diamonds [ ], you get an additional tile added to your rack. If you could take the time and land on another square, you would then get a total of 7 tiles in your rack, etc.In this variant devised by TallPaul of the Word O’Rama club owned by Callie, players have to start in opposite corners and work their way in a clockwise direction and land on each one of the 6 squares before they can head into the center bullseye. We played it as a “House Rules” game and players were honor bound to play the game in that manner.In this version of the game, the rules are built into the game. As you see below, there are two paths. Those paths are only open to that player. Player 1 always gets the yellow path (Yellow Brick Road?) and Player 2 always gets the green (Green Mile?). The arrows indicate the direction you should go. No player can not enter the opposing player’s space to impede their progress. The blue area is open to both players at all times. In addition, only players who they have covered all 6 of their squares can enter the red square in the center.For every square covered, an extra tile is added to your rack. When you have covered all 6 of them, you will have 11 tiles in the rack! (Don’t worry, we made the racks big enough to hold that many tiles. They won’t fall off.)Players do not have to cover all of the squares in order. Sometimes it’s necessary to set yourself up for the future acquisition of a needed letter and continue on the quest to the next one while you wait for that particular letter to land in your rack.The winner of the game is the one who has covered all 6 squares, successfully breached the red barrier, landed on the bullseye in the center, and gotten the highest score. If, however, that player has not gotten the highest score, the other player is the winner once that center bullseye is covered. If, when the tiles run out, nobody has covered the bullseye, the winner is the player who has the highest score.(unknown photo) We hope you enjoy it! Special to marcmandy for writing this month's Game of the Month Nugget. You too, can write a knock-out Nugget and reap the rewards! If your Nugget is chosen as the winner for GoldToken's Game of the Month in GoldToken's Monthly Newsletter, you will win:

**~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~** We would like to say to aprildawn for letting us step into her personal life for a bit. 1. What brought you to GoldToken? I was playing Canasta at BugCafe and the other player told me about GoldToken. For years I had played at Yahoo but it got pretty raunchy and I felt the need to find another place, I had a friend at Yahoo that told me about BugCafe to play Canasta, so when I found out about Gold Token I got my friend Katsterr to come here. How'd you choose your name for GT? I had used it at other places. I used to have horses and one year a couple had a mare that gave birth to a filly so they asked me to name it, it was born in April at dawn so called it aprildawn. Coincidentally, I was born in April and my mother said I was born at dawn too. 2. What interests you most on GT? That is really difficult question. I like the players, the set up to playing games here, if you want a game over in a short time Java is the way but I have played Java games and things happen, in one case for me I had to rush my husband to the emergency room and Java games don't wait on moves. I like the clubs, the diversity of games. There are several I haven't learned but slowly want to learn them. Favorite game here? I started out wanting to play slow games, now I like fast games, I get bored and want to change on my games so that is one reason I am wanting to learn more. 3. What State or Country do you reside in? OklahomaWhat in your State or Country do you think tourists should definitely see? If they wait a few days, especially in the month of May, we have alot of tornadoes and flooding, not sure if that is much of tourist attraction but storm chasers and weathermen probably find it interesting. 4. What hobbies do you have? Playing games at GoldToken. 5. Children? Grandchildren? None6. Do you work? Not now, retired.7. Any pets? Not now.8. Are you over 50? yesMale or Female? Female9. What's the farthest you've been from home? went with some coworkers to a conference in Washington D.C one year.10. If you could be anywhere right now where would that be? Horseback riding.11. Favorite season? Summer12, Favorite movie? Don't go to movies anymore. Just watch TV when not on GoldToken. I like several types of shows. Real Housewives, they are all crazy and yell at each other, now who in their right mind would have a friend that yells like that, I watch for the entertainment, then I like the Mystery shows, like CSI, Supernatural, some scary, but not gory, the a few of my favorites are Shark Tank Nation, Undercover Boss and The Profit. Those Twilight movies I liked cause the way they made them, you didn't see gory stuff, just vampires falling in love with humans and werewolves. But I have to say favorites are The Profit, Shark Tank Nation and Undercover Boss. I spend most of my time here when not at the doctor. Actor? I have always had a crush on Tom SelleckActress? Jennifer Anniston or Jennifer Lopez.Jennifer Lawrence If there are any questions you would like to see asked in future interviews, please let us know. Laura laura lee
I stumbled across GT in the summer of 2007 and played as a wood token member. As I became addicted to the site I became a paying member that September. Living where I do in upstate NY, about 2+ hours north of NYC, there is not much to do out here in the "sticks" so my nights became filled with friends on GT. I have made some wonderful friends on GT, some that I hope to meet in person some day. This is a really great site, family oriented and packed with lots of fun! My GT Family keeps me going, if it wasn't for some of my friends here, I don't know how I would deal with my medical illness. I love the fact that Badger keeps adding new games, which is fun for me since I do spend a lot of time online with the games. When I was asked to do a testimonial I was nervous, I am quiet and laid back. Anyone that has played against me knows that. But get to know me really well and I don't shut up! Thanks to Badger and the squirrels for running a great site! Keep up the good work!! SnowFlake
