Our very own RabidWolff of the Wolf Pack has designed a new Eagle Eye Token (unknown photo) for the folks who play any games in the Hangman Suite and find "misteaks" made by li'l ol' me in compiling the lists. The theory is that you find 'em, I assemble 'em, and I submit the errors to our "tech department". I've assembled lists, but because of the enormous job of reworking the code, they have not been put into effect as yet. So, if you spot an error (in the game - not here!) then go to the { Board: Hangman } DB and let me know! You are allowed to have one of each token.

**~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~**
We would like to say
to sparkles43 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 needed to learn to relax
and I thought this was the way to help me sit still for awhile. I chose my name from people telling me I had sparkly eyes 
followed by my age at the time.
2. What interests you most on GT? Do you have a favorite game?
- The variety of games; I never knew so many games existed. My favourite is hard to say, any form of dominoes I guess
3. What state or country do you reside in? What do you think tourists should definitely see?
- I live in the South West of the United Kingdom. Great Britain Tourists should visit Agatha Christie's holiday home where she wrote all of her novels...the grounds and her house are beautiful
4. What hobbies do you have?
- Hobbies are games of course , embroidery, badminton, racket ball, squash and walking
5. Children? Grandchildren?
- I have one daughter
who will be 38 this year and two grandsons, one is 19 
and the other is 9 
6. Do you work? What kind of work do/did you do?

Info on nic...I was jenn1, jenn33 and when I came over here, I decided to be firstjenn. I was invited here by a friend, and have not left since. I belong to The He's Alive Club, I found a large selection of games and wonderful players. I play a variety of games and love it.
All are so friendly, and also the helpful support staff running the site. I have 3 grown daughters, all happily married and 3 grandsons.
