- Join Now to Play in GoldToken's 2022 Summer Olympics!
You are invited to play in GoldToken’s premier summer tournament, the 2022 Summer Olympic Games!
This is a set of automated tournaments pitting player against player and team against team.
Each player chooses which game types to play and how many games to play.
If interested, please join The
GoldToken's Olympics Master Club! Click the link and look for the "invitations" box on the right-hand side of your screen, then click "yes" to join. If on a mobile device, scroll to the bottom of the screen and click “yes” to join. That's all you need to do to declare your desire to play - no need to send a PM or post a message on the discussion board. Please stay in the Master Club until the games begin.
Note: If you have joined the club in the past, you will need to re-join. The club is emptied prior to each new Olympics set-up.
Team assignments will be made in the coming weeks, and you'll be invited to join your specific team's club then. At that time, you will be able to sign up for the games you wish to play. Players can sign up for as few or as many games as they care to, subject to membership restrictions. Starting date for the first batch of games will be announced soon.
For more information about the GoldToken Olympics, check out this wiki with information about rules, prizes, and previous Olympics scores: [
Main: Goldtoken Olympics ].
- Upgrade to New Servers Needed
Dear Members,
After 15 years of hard working service, it's time for GoldToken to upgrade to new servers. We need your help in doing so as we are $2000 shy of the needed funds to do so. This will allow us to upgrade both our Beta and Main servers, improve content and better your gaming experience. Our goal is to make these improvements by the end of June, 2022.
To contribute, please purchase GoldToken's "adopt a guest" memberships, which will also adopt a guest in your name and earn one of our awesome "Gift Giver" profile tokens!
Thank you for your support and valuable contribution!
Wishing you much luck and tons of fun!

May's winner is:
Mixed Berry Pie
INGREDIENTS
2 pie crusts
2 cups blackberries
2 cups raspberries
2 cups blueberries
1 cup white granulated sugar
1 Tbsp. lemon juice
1 Tbsp. lemon zest
4 Tbsp. cornstarch
2 Tbsp. unsalted butter
1 egg white
INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat oven to 400F
Add raspberries, blackberries, blueberries, sugar, lemon juice, and lemon zest to a medium size sauce pan and cook over medium heat until warm and juicy, about 5-10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Spoon out about 1/2 cup of fruit juices and place into a small mixing bowl. Add cornstarch and stir until it becomes smooth. Bring berries back to a simmer and stir in the cornstarch mixture. Gently stir until filling starts to thicken, about 2-3 minutes.
Remove from heat and gently stir in butter until melted. Let mixed berry pie filling cool for 15-20 minutes.
Lightly grease a 9 inch pie dish, and place bottom pie crust into dish. Brush bottom pie crust lightly with a beaten egg white.
After berry pie filing has cooled, pour mixture into unbaked pie crust.
Top your pie with a full pie crust or a lattice crust. For a full pie crust, brush edges of the bottom pie crust with water and lay the full crust on top of the berries. Crimp the edges and cut slits in the top of crust. *see notes for lattice crust.
Brush a thin layer of a beaten egg white over top of the crust and sprinkle with granulated sugar.
Place mixed berry pie in a preheated 400F oven for 40-45 minutes. Check pie after 30 minutes, and if it’s getting too brown, place a piece of tinfoil over top of pie and continue baking.
Remove from oven and allow triple berry pie to cool for a few hours before serving. Once cooled, slice and serve with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.

| Brought to you by: *GoldToken* Players |
When I found out about GT I was playing games on itsyourturn. But after I got started with GT with a paid membership level I quit IYT and had a wood membership then I changed to silver membership for a while then after a good while I changed to gold. And that is probably what I’ll stay with.
My favorite games are the (four in a row an variations), also chess, (chessgi), atomic chess, checkers, reversi, triple shake, but I’ll give anything a try.
My username or id on here is lwmc but my name is Louis McIntosh. I am from Oklahoma in Fort Gibson. When I am not on GT I like to watch old tv shows on ME TV and watch some other favorites on the Heroes & Icons TV station. But I also do facebook and email and Netflix.
And I love going to church. My dad use to say that I would be there anytime they open the doors.
There have been several people that have helped me here.
Hillbilly, LittleTree, there were more….but I don’t remember. I belong to several clubs.
My favorite discussion board that I love a lot, is
Pony Up! with
LittleTree.
