- Win a Custom Made Name Icon to Your Specifications
To coincide with GoldToken's annual Club of the Year award, we now have two new GoldToken holidays,
The Club Day and
Club Presidents Day! However, we are going to have a little fun by not telling you what day either one is, until that very day. Then the games will begin!
ps....there will be HTH games, and oodles of site contests on both days with cool prizes!
In celebration of GoldToken's first annual
Club Day, we are giving all players who correctly report the date of either of our new GoldToken holidays to
GoldToken Support, entry to a play off fast tournament in which the winner gets a custom name icon made to their specifications (must be 50x50 and my limited artistic abilities lol).
- Hint: It's this month and you will know!
- Rules? Of course!
- You can only write to notify GoldToken Support once.
- If you miss the day or report it a day too early - then
.
This prize cannot be given to another player
- T-Shirt and Sweatshirt Photos
If you purchased a t-shirt or sweatshirt as part of the fund raiser for
Mecir's vacation to the United States, be sure to upload a photo to your GoldToken Photo Album and send a PM to
GoldToken Support with the photo number (found in the information below the photo, in your album) to have your photo included in a dedicated album.
Our T-Shirt drive was a great success!
Mecir will be flying into Las Vegas the first week of July, and staying with Jeff and I in southern California until mid July. If you can make it for lunch with us during this time, send me a PM! Consider this an open invitation!

The
West of the Setting Sun Club Second Meijin tournament has commenced. This tournament is comprised of Go 9x9 games compared to the Go 19x19 games of the First Meijin tournament.
One of the many wonderful aspects of Go is the ability to play on almost any sized board without needing to changing the rules or the pieces. Here at the board sizes range from Go 7x7 (fast and furious and a brawl from the very 1st stone
) to Go 19x19 (slower, more considered and a higher level of complexity Wizard - thought still with the occasional brawl
) but you can play Go on boards as tiny as 3x3 (that's three lines across and 3 lines down) all the way up to ... well any size really (the largest
tzorec has seen played is 38×38
... and getting back to the games in the Second Meijin touney they will be fighting games!
So come and join The
West of the Setting Sun Club and discover this great game, contact
tzorec for more information.

Thanks for sharing that

Good idea for other clubs seeking members such as:
The
jd91's Mini Reversi Club
The
Fighting Pawns Club
Have a membership drive, assigned a officer in your club to recruit members. Join the The
Training New or Experienced Club Owners Club. You have seasoned and knowledgeable people at your service in this club. Join and jump in there and ask questions, make your club successful.
MEMBERS
So many Club Owners and Presidents are having a hard time getting members to sign up for Wiki based games. These wiki based tourneys involve work being done by clubs officers to set them up,run them and try to get them filled by club members. Some club have lots of members but the hard core wiki players tend to be a small part of the membership. They set up and run wiki tourneys, offering plenty of different types of tourneys but even then they tend to fill real slow. You as a members of clubs could give these owners some feed back to help them continue to make these games successful. There is a lot of time and dedication put in to keep the wiki based games going, please take a few moments and contact your club owners or message me
PattyMac. We need your input
