Have you collected all the 21st Anniversary Tokens yet? Don't forget - at the end of the year, any players who have collected them all will be entered in an automated tournament for a chance to win a sweet prize! Keep an eye on the discussion boards for chances to win. This newsletter is full of information regarding contests on the boards where you can earn a token. I also heard there are some listed at the top of the Recognition Tokens discussion board, if you've got a few spare Golderos jangling around in your piggy bank!
Got a great idea for a game to add to GoldToken? Get ready! October's Contest of the Month will provide you with the chance to submit your idea.

**~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~** We would like to say ![]() 1. What brought you to GoldToken, and how'd you choose your name for GT? Like many others, I was brought to GoldToken by the internet. My GT name is short for Oddie Moore, an alias I use often for my own amusement. I first heard of this name from a song by Skating Polly. 2. What interests you most on GT? Do you have a favorite game? My favorite games are pente/golden pente, but I also like the gammon games, 3. What state or country do you reside in? What do you think tourists should definitely see? I live in the state of denial, 4. What hobbies do you have? Besides getting my hat 5. Children? Grandchildren? Four kids, 6. Do you work? What kind of work do/did you do? I'm in high-tech manufacturing. If you ever have trouble sleeping, I can explain that in more detail. 7. Any pets? Two dogs, 8. Are you under 30?___ 30 to 50? ___ or over 50? Male or Female? I'm a single male 9. Favorite food? Chicken and eggs. I call it "Family Reunion". 10. What's the farthest you've been from home? For my 50th birthday, I did a solo backpacking trip in Tasmania (an island 11. If you could be anywhere right now, where would that be? I'm always happy wherever I am, but some bucket list destinations include climbing Kilimanjaro and backpacking in Greenland. 12. Favorite season? (unknown photo) Summer. Living in Oregon, the days are long, the weather is great, and the outdoors is calling. ![]() ![]() 13. Favorite movie? Favorite TV show? Such a difficult question. Top ones include The Godfather or Amadeus. However, if you're ever just wanting a good laugh, you can't go wrong with Spinal Tap or The Castle. That last one is an Australian classic. I don't find many people who have seen it, but when I went to Australia, EVERYONE knew it. That's when I knew I was with my people. How's the serenity? 14. If you could meet anyone (living or dead) in the world, who would it be? If I met a dead person, I'd certainly have to lead the conversation. So I'll keep it to the living. I guess I'd like to meet Brad Pitt. That way, people could see us together and finally settle the argument that we aren't the same person. If there are any questions you would like to see asked in future interviews, please let us know. Laura laura lee ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()
I joined GT 19 July, 2003. Like some others, I left IYT. All I wanted was a site to play Backgammon with other people. Little did I know, I would join tournaments & even win some; join clubs & start one of my own, named Cafe Amurrican in honor of Cafe American in Casablanca; branch out to more & different games; have one of the people I became great friends with visit me for an evening when he & his were in America from Wales. And this is the greatness of Gold Token. It's really all about the people: the games have become almost secondary: I come to see who is here. Recently, I started playing my beloved games of "poker," meeting more people & making new friends. And it all comes around. I enjoy inviting new members, especially guests who don't have many games, to games. Why? So they, too, can know the delight I felt when I first came to Gold Token. This is not just the best game site on the web, it is the best site on the web. In the words of Duke Ellington, it is "beyond category." I am honored to write this testimonial. murrsquito
