Congrats to the winning teams and players, and thank you to everyone who participated! A heartfelt ![]()
I’d like to add my name to the list of players that disagree with your proposed solution to end "Endless" tournaments! Admittedly, I’m a slowpoke. I have over 500 active games with 100 or so active over 9 months. But, I don’t see myself as an abuser of the system or being inconsiderate of others just because I’m not able to make moves as quickly as some would like. I used to enjoy playing in the Olympic tourneys. But, when the time limits were added, I soon quit. I hate to win or lose by forfeit. I played in the first Overall Competition that 1926 set up. Enjoyed it as well. Played many games that I’d never tried previously. But, when the time limits were added, I had to leave the club. Sometimes, I think I spend more time managing a club than playing games. But, I enjoy the little club I inherited. I’m proud of how active we are and how well we do... especially compared with all the mega clubs. I miss doing all the club vs club wiki challenges. Folks just don’t seem to have the time for non-automated challenges. Therefore, I mainly play in the monthly club challenges. When the proposed solution is implemented, I’ll no longer be able to play in those tourneys. I will no longer have a reason to be in a club which has become the main reason I’m a paid member of this site. I know you will never be able to please everyone; but, I think you’ve already gone above and beyond in trying to accommodate the speedy players with 1 day tourneys, no days off tourneys, time-limited Olympics tourneys, head-to-head games, etc. Plus, there’s always the option for them to participate in clubs like the overall competition that have time limits or other quick game clubs. Anyway, just wanted to let you that not everyone agrees with the proposed solution… would guess most of us don’t even think there’s a problem. Thanks Summer break is over, but we still managed to eke out one more weekend of fun! We had friends visiting from Florida this past weekend, and we went to the drive-through safari park and the aquarium. We fed the neighborhood ducks corn kernels. We played games and had lots of laughs and made more great memories. Now we're back to playing our games on GoldToken instead of across the table, but thank goodness we have GoldToken - it's so easy to keep in touch! Also, I seem to have slightly better luck playing Triple Shake here than at the kitchen table. ![]() --heyred72 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() In this month's newsletter, we have: ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()

Interview by: laura lee |
Someone we used to workwith told my hubby
about it, first, for chess
purposes, then, hubby told me about it for backgammon
purposes. The rest is history.
The nom de plume comes directly from One Thousand and One Nights (also known as The Arabian Nights), as well as the Rimsky-Korsikov piece. The “I” in my spelling comes directly from a typoon a cd I have of the classical piece, from Time-Life.
2. What interests you most on GT?
The variety of games available is fantastic, and then, the peopleI play. I’ve met some incredibly fabulous people here. One of those awesome people SandiaStar has the same
as me, and, 2 years ago we got to celebrate together in a delightful yet supposedly,
haunted B&B in Trinidad, CO. It’s the first time we finally got to meet in person.
It was a GREAT weekend.
We plan on doing it again, soon!
I have too many to claim as a "favorite". Love so many of the games here on GT. I play varieties in a myriad of categories, which include: backgammon, dice,word, shakes, poultry, salvos, cards.
So, like, aaaaah, most of them?
Currently residing in, and loving Colorado.
The are so many tourist opportunities from one end of the state, to the other that it's hard to pick a single one. Colorado Springs offers immediate access to Pikes Peak, The Olympic Center, Pikes Peak International Raceway, The Broadmoor, The World Arena, Cave of the Winds, The Manitou Cliff Dwellings, The Manitou Springs Incline, The North Pole, or even the U.S. Air Force Academy
. If you feel like driving an hour north, south, or west, you can be in Denver, Pueblo, or Cripple Creek. Water activities
are in abundance during the summer. I could be here all day with the winter opportunities.
The outdoor, hiking, and biking activities are endless. You could spend a week in Colorado Springs, and STILL have things to do as a tourist.
4. What hobbies do you have?
I write poetry, when the muse moves me. I’d call myself a very amateur photographer.Living in Colorado, nature
photography
is hard to ignore. I also like to say, “how can you take a bad picture of mountains?” I also enjoy reading. Shameless plug, now. My favorite sci-fi series of all time is Spinward Fringe, by Randolph Lalonde. He is my favorite author, bar none, especially, when it comes to interacting with his fan base. I love this story, and believe in this series so much, I permanently inked myself for it. We are a small, but, extremely rabid fan base. We have big dreams to see this sci-fi space opera up there within the ranks of the Star Trek, Firefly, Battlestar Galactic, Stargate, Star Wars universes. Yes, we small group, dream big.
5. Children? Grandchildren?
Spawningjust wasn’t for me. I have nieces and nephews.
That’s sufficient breeding within the family lineage, me thinks. My children will always have four legs and fur.
Not anymore, due to health issues based on genetic tendencies. Love you Mom
and Dad
, but, really?
Did we have to inherit the biological frailties, too?
what kind of work do/did you do?
I used to work in the informationtechnology industry, in a data center operations atmosphere, monitoring the problems and changes that occurred to the systems and applications.
It was a job. Then I got sick.
Things happen.
7. Any pets?
See question #5.8. Are you under 30?___ 30 to 50? ___ or over 50?
I’m sorry. Insufficient data.Subject ceased calculating at 39. Unable to access. 404 Not Found.
I am woman.I am invincible. I AM TIRED.
9. What's the farthest you’ve been from home?
Lived in Germany, twice. First, when I was knee-high to a hickory stump, when my father was in the Army.
Second time, was during the ages of 16-20, with my Mom. She worked for the FBI
at the time, applied to, and got an opening at the U.S. Embassy in Bonn, Germany. I thank God
for having been able to spend my formative years being influenced in a European culture. Not many people are able to say that they graduated high school in Germany. I also attended a semester of college at the University of Maryland, in Munich, Germany. During the Oktoberfest. Need I say more?
