I noticed something called Banneros on my profile. What are they?
Banneros are special virtual GoldToken coins that are only available as prizes in various contests and tournaments, or as gifts from GoldToken administrators.
Banneros work like Golderos when purchasing banner space, but the only way to obtain them is to have administration give you some (you can't buy, share or trade them to other players), and they can only be used to purchase Banners, nothing else ( Each Golderos or Banneros = 50 cents US each).
If a player wants to extend a banner while not having enough Banneros, Golderos will be used to fill the missing amount. So if someone needs 12 Golderos or Banneros to extend their Banners, and has 5 Banneros and 15 Golderos, it will cost them 5 Banneros and 7 Golderos. If the player has no Banneros , only Golderos will be used.
Banners are a wonderful way to promote your GoldToken club, federation, site contest or a special tournament to other GoldToken players. And yes, as long as it is family friendly, you can advertise your business using a GoldToken banner too! Start your own banner today!
P.S. Check out the Contest of the Month, below. It's all about making a banner!

Well, I will try to do it, but consider that I write more Spanglish than English
I came to GT from IYT. There I knew a nice friend that took me here in 2002. at beginning I just played chess friendly games. Then I found many others very interesting, so upgraded to gold member and entered in some clubs.
I belong to many clubs and playing most of games. Even I was a president of some of them. I can say that I was the worst president ever!
( I think it's better that I focus in playing games, just that )
I really appreciate a lot of friends here, I would like to mention 4 or them:
BettyAnn nice playing, nice chats for a long time... She is the best!
PattyMac So kind, always helping and doing a perfect job in all her clubs
First Knight We are still playing friendly games after almost 15 years. Great sense of humor, great playing.
OkMeR We play great games, nice chats... he always wins! too strong for me, always a nice experience! Such a good guy.
There are many others, very nice people. That's the better thing here at GT.
About me...
I am musician. I'm teaching in a Conservatory in Spain, all theoric matters like Harmony or Composition. Before, I was a piano teacher for many years.
Best Regards
Santiago Ruache

There are St Patrick's Day Icons - March 17th in Row 1 of Name Icons, and these are open for adoption from any membership level which includes Guest, Wood, or Silver. If you request a holiday icon and you have one in your saves already, that saved icon will put on. At that time you may request a trade for the one on the board that you like if it is still available. Remember one Holiday icon per member .
I will put Easter icons out about the 10th of this month. Be looking for those in Row 2, as soon as St Patricks Day is over I will also put them in row 1 after that. Guest, wood and silver, you may choose a Easter Icon on the 17th so watch the board.
Does your club have icons? There were TWO clubs recently that adopted their club collection as reported in Club News. There are a lot of collections left, such as the "Critters". { Image: goldtoken.com/pics/icon110509185302.png } and { Image: goldtoken.com/pics/icon110509182738.png } This is a 30+ collection so it is suitable for a Large club. Contact the GoldToken's Icon Fairy if your club is interested in this collection or you can see more offered here - Club Icons
Did you see the Icon Of The Day. Awww, such a cute bear!

**~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~**
We would like to say to flyingjp for letting us step into their personal life for a bit.
1. What brought you to GoldToken?
A friend recommended GT to me. I used to play on a different game site, but that site limited the number of turns you could make per day. Games would take forever to play out. As a guest member on GT I didn't have that problem.
How'd you choose your name for GT?
My name on GT is an homage to a childhood memory. My foster grandfather built a small one room club house for me in our backyard. We named it the Flyingjp Ranch House. That little shack contained many fond memories, and I honor them with my GT name.
2. What is your favorite game here?
Xiphias and its variants is among my favorites. Reversi, chess, backgammon, domination and shake it up are also on my top list.
3. What state do you reside in?
What in your state or country do you think tourists should definitely see?
I live in Staten Island New York. It's one of the boroughs of New York City. Everyone knows New York City and all its wonderful attractions. I would suggest that visitors to NYC might enjoy the free ferry journey over to Staten Island as part of their adventure. There are many beautiful museums, parks and wilderness areas to see. Staten Island has over 45 miles of scenic hiking trails. There are places here where you just can't believe you're in NYC.
4. What hobbies do you have?
I have several hobbies which include building model airplanes , drawing, listen to music, playing paintball, reading, and studying history.
5. Children? Grandchildren?
I an single. Never married and have no children.
6. Do you work? what kind of work do/did you do?
I am a Avocational History and Visitor Services Associate. I worked for a local cultural institution, but was recently laid off due to financial problems at that organization. Presently I'm searching for work in my field.
7. Any pets?
I have two pets. My Cat named Benny & a turtle named Yurtle.
8. Are you under 30?___ 30 to 50? ___ or over 50?
Male or Female?
I'm a male and I'll be 57 in April.
9. What's the farthest you've been from home?
The farthest I've been from home is north to Quebec and south to Miami.10. If you could be anywhere right now where would that be?
If I could be anywhere I would be flying a vintage biplane. (unknown photo)
11. Favorite season?
My favorite season is fall. The color changes in the leaves always impress me.
12, Favorite movie?
My favorite movies are "Kelly Heroes", "Doctor Zhivago", "The Producers", "The Russians are Coming", "Viva Max!", and "Saving Private Ryan".
My favorite actor is Peter Ustinov.
My favorite song is "The Story in Your Eyes." by the Moody Blues
13. If you could meet anyone (living and dead) in the world, who would it be ?
If I could meet anyone(living and dead)in the world, it would be my two heroes. Raoul Lufberry of the Escadrille Lafayette, and Manfred Fredrick von Richthofen the legendary Red Baron
If there are any questions you would like to see asked in future interviews, please let us know.

Icon Mania! |
Brought to you by: GoldToken's Icon Fairy |
I will put Easter icons out about the 10th of this month. Be looking for those in Row 2, as soon as St Patricks Day is over I will also put them in row 1 after that. Guest, wood and silver, you may choose a Easter Icon on the 17th so watch the board.
Does your club have icons? There were TWO clubs recently that adopted their club collection as reported in Club News. There are a lot of collections left, such as the "Critters". { Image: goldtoken.com/pics/icon110509185302.png } and { Image: goldtoken.com/pics/icon110509182738.png } This is a 30+ collection so it is suitable for a Large club. Contact the GoldToken's Icon Fairy if your club is interested in this collection or you can see more offered here - Club Icons
Did you see the Icon Of The Day. Awww, such a cute bear!

The Mar 2018 — USA vs. Italy Checkers match Tournament
To celebrate the USA National Checker Team touring Italy in April this year. Italy has the current World and Runner up World Champions in RESTRICTION (or 3 move) Checkers. This will be an exciting event for all CHECKER enthusiasts especially as a member who plays here will be on the USA Team.
In this tournament is
RESTRICTION (or 3 move - sounds scary it isn’t - just means the first 3 moves are already randomly played, otherwise normal checkers and you play both colours )
ITALIAN - The match is in Italy
INTERNATIONAL - 10x10 with flying kings and this is definately an INTERNATIONAL EVENT.
There are already record entries. So please join this Club Sponsored Site Tournament!!!!!!!
Contact Kookaburra for more information!

Bobbyb1947 says there in not much to report this month in the The Knights of Camelot Club ! But he does have these items of interest! Camelot was THE premiere board game of the 19th. Century! On our WCF site one can see a photo of president JFK holding a Camelot box in front of him when he was just a boy. Also of note at the 1st. international Camelot tournament for Ladies the #1 board has World Chess Champion Hose Raul Capablanca! (At the request of the ladies.) Also of note was that Bobby Fischer and Lasker had played some games. None of the games of the above named gentlemen has ever been recorded! If you want to be in the fun contact Bobbyb1947, he would be happy to introduce you to this awesome game.
