| Monthly Message from Badger |
The addition of two new games, Lucky Trax & Grabble, has thrilled players this month. GoldToken's Grabble ladder had over 73 players within the first two days!! But that's far from the end of the new games, as Chad has a few suprizes up his sleeve. Be the first to start a game with Chad when we announce them, and win one of the new GoldToken Laser Engraved Rulers!
Some interesting GoldToken numbers: MAMAFEN is GoldToken's 50,000th player! Buz, the player who has played the most games, appears to be attempting to have as many game tokens as we have had players...won't be long before we are having a contest to guess the date of his 40,000th token! 2859400 games have been started at GoldToken as of this writing. Be one of the players in game #2860000 and win a GoldToken Duffle Bag!! Can you believe it...GoldToken's 1000th tournament will be announced soon! Be sure to join if you are wanting to have a chance to win some great GoldToken prizes. It will be available under the tournament link at the top of your gamesheet.
--Badger
P.S. The Platinum gift for March is a limited edition GoldToken Booklite with an engraved "GoldToken Platinum Member" plaque on the base.

| Games Corner by djf88 |
| This month's feature: 6x5 |
6x5 is a game of trivia with a variety of puzzles thrown in.
It gets it's name because it is a set of 6 questions, 5 times per contest, posted on the { Board: 6x5 Trivia Addicts }. In other words you answer 30 questions per round. A full game is 2 rounds and takes a full month to finish, because you are given 48 hours to answer your set of 6 questions. You send your answers via private message to 6x5 and at the end of the round they post the new results, along with the answers to the previous round, and the new rounds questions. You can either play all of the rounds or jump in the middle of a game and play a round or two, for your chance to win great prizes!
Every answer is found on the internet. You just need to know where to look. Even the puzzle answers can be found if you look in the correct places, but they are usually more fun if you try to answer on your own first. You always have a chance of knowing an answer without looking them up because the subjects have such variety, ranging from deep subjects such as: science, math, diseases, governments, history etc, to lighthearted subject such as: music, flowers, children and pets, and everything in between.
The best part is a picture as the 6th question. Sometimes simple and sometimes so difficult is it drives you crazy, but always found if you know how to google, search msn and yahoo, or ask jeeves.
If you think you´ve got what it takes to impart some unknown game skills to other players out there, send your submissions for Games Corner to Kran

Everyone can play! Guests included! Once you have found all 12, message Badger with Profile Treasure Hunt in the subject line and the first 10 correct will win a prize! Good luck!!
Note: sharing the logo locations before the contest ends disqualifies you. So please play fair.
| Tessa's Twisters |
Hi everyone,
Get ready! I have another Twister for you! If you are the first player to answer this riddle, Badger has a GT keychain pen for you! So what are you waiting for? Hurry on over to the poetry board!
See you there!
Tessa
She is fairly new here,
but already well known!
And to get on her good side,
Just give her dog a bone!
Her name contains a color,
that's seldom worn by men,
And once you get to know her,
You will consider her your friend!
She now has a photo club,
Right here at GT!
You can learn to zoom in,
And take pictures properly!
Do you know who this is?
Hurry and post it if you do!
Be the first to answer,
and a gift will be sent to you!
Please post your answers on the DB.
| Testimonials Of The Month |
WOW!!!!! I just received a package today from you. You have no idea how great it was. Thank you so very much for the beatiful card, the printout of the wiki card, and the planner. I was almost in tears when I saw the cards. It means so very much to me that you would personally send me a card. I guess that is what makes this site so great. All the other sites couldnt care less about the people that play there. That is what sets Goldtoken apart from the others. Words cant describe how I feel about this site. I cannot say enough about you or the people on this site. It makes you feel like family or just that you matter. Thank you again for everything you do.
Seedie
