Pony Up!

(unknown photo)

Spring has sprung in this part of the country and it's almost time for Easter. How time flies when you're having fun and fun is what it's all about on the Pony Up! board. As usual, Pony Up tokens and golderos were won by our players with player hunts, guesses at emoji movies, which ended up being a tough one but monkeytyper came through and got them all! Limericks and songs were also a part of the contests between random and voting contests. Thanks to all who entered/played and was a part of the Pony Up! We love to give away tokens made just for the Pony Up board along with golderos!

Interview by: laura lee

**~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~**

We would like to say to wallywalter for letting us step into their personal life for a bit.

1. What brought you to GoldToken, and how'd you choose your name for GT?

• I played here first time in 2001 and I don't remember how I found it. When I came back in 2015 has been because I missed this site a lot.
• My name is the sum of the nick that my wife uses to call me (wally) and my name.

2. What interests you most on GT? Do you have a favorite game?

• I love to play the Olympics, and I like almost all the games. Unfortunately I don't have actually so much time to play and so I can’t play Olympics since one year.

3. What state or country do you reside in? What do you think tourists should definitely see?

• I live in Turin, 2006 winter Olympic city, in Italy.
• If you come to Italy you have to visit Rome and Venice, they are absolutely unique in the world.
• If you come to Turin you have to see the Egyptian museum and the cinema museum

• I work in a bank

7. Any pets?

8. Are you under 30?___ 30 to 50? ___ or over 50? Male or Female?

• Male, 30/50…..50 exactly

9. Favorite food? (do you have a recipe you'd like to share?)

• I would like to share a recipe but for me it’s not easy in English
• I give you my three favorites food, one for each type, Risotto with porcini mushrooms, Raw meat beaten with a knife, Tiramisu

10. What's the farthest you've been from home?

• In Brazil in 1999 and in the Dominican island in 2004.

11. If you could be anywhere right now, where would that be?

• In North Cape, watching the northern light and listening only the wind.

12. Favorite season?

• Spring

13> Favorite movie? Favorite TV show?

• Much Ado About Nothing, by K. Branagh, because it's a joyful story.
• How I Met Your Mother, unfortunately finished after only 9 seasons

14. If you could meet anyone (living or dead) in the world, who would it be?

• Surely my loved mother, disappeared in 2014

If there are any questions you would like to see asked in future interviews, please let us know.

Testimonial Of The Month

Brought to you by: *GoldToken* Players

I'll do my best for you: I used to play on IYT years ago and heard players talk about GoldToken, so I decided to check it out and I was hooked. I played on here from 2003 till 2020 as Carol91859, but then stopped for a while. I like meeting new people. I joined a lot of clubs, too many to mention, but I do own { Club } and { Club }. I love to play hangman, backgammon, and Salvo. I am retired and have a black cat named Buttercup.
