August 2009
| GoldToken's Monthly News |
It is August already! 2009 has been so busy for GoldToken, that it seems the year just began. Mecir is diligently working on a considerable number of upcoming new site additions and firefly has her hands full creating new graphics. GoldToken's 2007 Olympics are coming to an end and the new 2009 Olympics are due to begin the first week of December. If you wish to play, be sure to join the The Olympiads Club before August 31st, the cut off date.
Have you played yet? It is currently open for both members and guests to play. Peg has been posting new clues almost daily since July and it has proven a very popular game. Check it out!
I am pleased to announce , GoldToken's new version of Survivor. The first players to post something unique about Mayan Gold will be the first games miners. Should be fun for all!
GoldToken's annual membership drive started August 1st this year, offering all new members the opportunity to upgrade one membership level free! Check out the [ News Archives ] at the bottom of your game sheet for details.
It is not too late to join The Gold Triathlon Marathon Club, GoldToken's new competitive endurance gaming event run by *EAGLE ONE* and Sherry. Win one tournament level to advance to the next level. Each new Gold Triathlon Marathon will restart every six months.
to Mecir's coding talents and the graphic art of Colonel Crockett, GoldToken now offers Shogi, a Japanese game somewhat similar to our Chess. In addition to the main game, two variants are also available - Mini Shogi, which is a version of Shogi played on a smaller board with less pieces, and Hasami Shogi, which is a game played on the Shogi board with some of the Shogi pieces, but with completely different (and much simpler) set of rules. Do you beta? GoldToken's sister site sends an open invitation to all Gold and Platinum players to test the latest GoldToken additions. New games, new tools...it is all there for you to play first! http://beta.goldtoken.com/ New games coming soon!

FixitDave
I have been a member of GoldToken since 2001. I was born in Sheffield, England but I now live in Killamarsh. I'm
married to Michelle with 3 kids (Laura, Nathan & Blake). I used to work in support and install computer networks
for a living, but am currently between jobs since being made redundant.
I currently run a few websites that keep me busy and I keep looking for the next BIG idea
I am the president of The Fixit & problems computers Club, the club is open for anybody to join and ask questions
about your computer problems. If you know anything about the subject, please join and you could also pass on your
knowledge onto others that need it.
I run a photography competition where players can post images that fit a specific theme and all entries are voted
for to find a winner. Check out the [ Main: Photozone Competition ] wiki page for more details.
I have also started { Club }, it's also open for all members to join so we can help each other take
better photographs and help with post production to make those great images become even better.
I have created several banners for the following clubs...
{ Club } - The Backgammon Tournament Club - { Club } - { Club }-
The Fixit & problems computers Club- { Club } - The Wolf Pack Club- { Club }- { Club }and The United Atheist League Club.
I'm a Vice President of the The Wolf Pack Club and I also started our web site located at
http://www.geocities.com/wolfpack_games/ .
If you want to challenge me in a fun game, go to http://fixitdave.mybrute.com/. All members can join. It's very simple and easy
battle game...click to battle...done, no complicated training or daily tasks, simple game but very addictive
Hope to see you there.
I would like to thank all the players who play at this great gaming community, without the community this site would just be a basic run of the mill game site like all the others.
FixitDave for all you do around GoldToken! You are so very helpful in many areas and your expertise is appreciated by everyone!

| Testimonials Of The Month |
| Brought to you by: *GoldToken* Players |
Brendans Grandmom
I was introduced to GoldToken by a close friend of mine, catlover (Sherry) in 2004. We met, I believe, on IYT and she told me about GoldToken. I checked it out and have been here since. Not only did I form a lasting friendship with Sherry, I have met so many really nice friendly people here at GT.
Everyone is very eager to assist you if you should have a problem with a game or even another player. I especially enjoy the site tournaments - you sign up and GoldToken does the rest. I love everyone in Management, I think Mary has done such a tremendous job with the site since she took over. Although I still visit IYT, GT is my online gaming home!!
Diane (Brendans Grandmom)
dingbat
Hello everyone!
I am the dingbat. I have been on GoldToken since June of 2001. My sis ( BcurbOTF ) and I were told about this site by our uncle andy11. At this time Chad was the proud owner of GoldToken.
My sis passed away in March of 2005. We played on Several Species of Furry Animals Gathered Together In A Cave and Groovin' With a Pict club as long as the club lasted. Panda Lady was the founder of that club. We won most popular club the first time there was a Most Popular Club vote, voted by the GoldToken players. Sadly Panda Lady had some medical problems and could no longer manage the club so we had to close it. I am so proud to say that Panda Lady is back on and Playing on GoldToken again now.
But this is how I became the dingbat. I mean really what cave is complete with out a dingbat?
After Badger became owner of GoldToken she started the The GoldToken Greetings Club and I was one of the lucky ones she asked to join the club. We send out cards for Get Well, Sympathy and Inspirational to let our players know we and all players are thinking of them. We still make the cards but we can no longer mail them out due to the huge increase in the postal charges. We do miss that part of the process. Now it is necessary for the club member to print off their own card after we make them. There are still six members to the The GoldToken Greetings Club that do the cards and we appreciate all the players who contact us and allow us to make cards for members in need.
In the time I have been a player on GoldToken there have been times that were really hard and would have been even harder with out the love and support of my extended family here. I have made some very special and I pray lasting friends on this site.
everyone for putting up with this old dingbat. 
A special request:
I would like to ask the Goldtoken family to please keep my parents in their thoughts and prayers.
It would mean a lot to have the emotional support of my friends and acquaintances here.
My dad was diagnosed with cancer last fall shortly after I came down here to Florida. They found cancer
in both lungs, his liver and 2 tumors in his brain. His most recent CT scan showed liver cancer spreading.
The chemo treatments were stopped recently and Hospice has been contacted.
Last weekend my dad suffered a mild stroke so he is unable to speak,other motor skills are functional, but he can't write due to a shaking in his hands (medical issue). There is no set time on how long he will survive this. I keep praying for a miracle, I was fortunate to have spoken to him just before Fathers Day. I am not able to travel home to see him and that upsets me. My mom said there would be nothing I could do that is not already being done for him. If he should pass before I could come home, she told me they would get me there for the funeral. I pray that he will get his speech back so that he can at least tell her he loves her one last time.
Thank you ,
James Eggy
