Wow! It's hard to believe, but it's become necessary to add tokens for these BIG game totals!
The graphics team did a beautiful job.
Played 150,000 games = (unknown photo)
Played 200,000 games = (unknown photo)
They will soon be automatically added to a player's profile when the goal is reached. Until then, you can post on the Recognition Tokens discussion board, if you qualify.
To find out if you qualify: Go to your profile and look at the end of the Completed Games Statistics list to find your total.
We're 1/4 of the way through 2023, already! Can you believe it? There's still time to work on your 200,000 games Token, though.
Wishing you much luck and tons of fun!

It's practically Easter and spring is here! 
If you haven't checked out the icons for Easter or spring, come on by the Name Icons board and request them by column number and letter, ie..A1, from Icon Mania. You can also choose from the Icon Of The Day.
The Icon Fairy loves to spread the love
so if any new players or those who have never tried to wear one, would like to try one out next to their name, feel free to ask on the board or contact me by message. GoldToken's Icon Fairy
Please remember to request if you want your current icon to be saved or not when requesting a new one. Also, if any players requested a holiday hat and want it removed/saved, please contact me on the board with your request and I will be happy to do it.
Platinum may save 9.
Gold may save 7.
Silver may now wear a larger icon but cannot save it if they request another one after 30 days.
I'm sorry
, but players are only allowed to adopt a new icon once every 30 days so everyone has a chance to have one that is "new" and unused before.
The Renegades Gaming Club has renewed their spirit and is wide open for members. If you are looking for a club that participates in chatting and automatic tournaments, some of them are prizes, then mosey on over to The Renegades Gaming Club. We left the doors open, and the light on for you.

| Icon Mania! |
| Brought to you by: GoldToken's Icon Fairy |
It's practically Easter
and spring is here! If you haven't checked out the icons for Easter or spring, come on by the Name Icons board and request them by column number and letter, ie..A1, from Icon Mania. You can also choose from the Icon Of The Day.The Icon Fairy loves to spread the love
so if any new players or those who have never tried to wear one, would like to try one out next to their name, feel free to ask on the board or contact me by message. GoldToken's Icon FairyPlease remember to request if you want your current icon to be saved or not when requesting a new one. Also, if any players requested a holiday hat and want it removed/saved, please contact me on the board with your request and I will be happy to do it.
Platinum may save 9.
Gold may save 7.
Silver may now wear a larger icon but cannot save it if they request another one after 30 days.
I'm sorry
, but players are only allowed to adopt a new icon once every 30 days so everyone has a chance to have one that is "new" and unused before. | Breaking Club News: |
