From time to time we get a lot of weird requests and spam mail in the GV Members Inbox. We decided the best way to deal with all the spammers isn't to just "Send To Trash" but to share in the fun of openly mocking them with you, the GV community! Today we received a very inquisitive note all the way from the Republic of Congo...

I'm doing great actually. We just announced the launch of our first iPhone game, Ninja Rally, (YATTA!) and we're giving away more cash and item-based prizes than ever before here at Gamesville! Since you asked, here's a quick run down of my current likes and dislikes:

Likes

• The spring weather here in Boston
• Long blog posts on the beach
• Drinks with umbrellas
• Playing Ninja Rally
• Writing this blog column
  

 Dislikes

• Crabby people
• My commute (construction, grrr)
• Not being eligible to win any of the aforementioned cash and prizes because I'm an employee
• Poor spelling and bad grammer

Hope you enjoyed my lists, looking forward to hearing from you again soon.

Best,

Since the launch of Gamesville's first game for the iPhone and iPod Touch, Ninja Rally, the team at Gamesville has been sizing things up in different ways. Most commonly we find ourselves asking the question "How would a Ninja handle this situation?" We go back and fourth every day on how Ninjas would handle everyday issues, all with differing opinions. Most importantly we want to know, once and for all, who would make the the most appropriate Ninja on our team?

I am 72% Ninja How Ninja are you? Take the Ninja Quiz and find out!

So the question remains, who is the deadliest Ninja among us all and how Ninja are you? You can find out by taking the Ninja Quiz Personality Test and posting your results in the comments section here at the Gamesville Blog!

Still looking to put your Ninja skills to the test?

Are you a Ninja who posesses a clear mind and nimble fingers? Think you have what it takes to defeat an entire army of Zombie Ninjas? Put your keen Ninja skills to the ultimate test with our latest action puzzler, Ninja Rally, now available in the iTunes App Store!

When Anniefrog scored the jackpot, four players with the same Lucky Ball choice as Anniefrog each won $25 cash! Congratulations to all our Lucky Ball winners:

Distinguishing Personality Traits

Leenie0520 says, "How unusual for a cat and a bird to be such good friends! As you know birds and cats don't usually get along so well and as you can see they get along just fine. They play around together and sometimes they even take naps on top of Tiki's cage. They were honored by our local newspaper a few months ago as their 'Pet Of The Week' and have been best friends ever since Jack came to live with us!"

Want to share photos of your own favorite pet with the Gamesville community?

Send photos to: members@gamesville.com

In addition to your pet's picture, please be sure to include:

• Your Gamesville member name
• Your pet's most distinguishing personality trait

If we publish your pet as a "Best Pet," we'll give you 5,000 GV Rewards. Submit your pet today!

Last month lucky Gamesviller Princessmisty of Calumet, MI, hit the jackpot playing CatchUp CoverAll and took home $488!

How will she spend her winnings? Find out below...

What will you spend your winnings on?
I'm going to Las Vegas in a couple of weeks, so hopefully my check will come before I leave! I'm sure it will be used to see a show or some other form of entertainment while on my trip.

What do you do for a living?
I'm a waitress and have been for a long time. I love meeting new people and my sharing knowledge of the area I live in. I really enjoy talking to people and hearing of where they are from. At times it can be a lot of hard work.

If you were an animal in the wild, what would you be?
Never really thought about it before, maybe a bird.  I think it would give you a different "view" of the world.

What is your most treasured possession and why?
A ring that was given to me by my mother.  She had it for a long time and then she passed it to me.

What does your Gamesville member name mean?
My dog's name is Misty. She is spoiled rotten and when she is in a mood I call her my "Princess Misty".

What game would you like to see Gamesville make next?
I love bingo, but would love to see another card game.

Thanks, Princessmisty - and have fun in Vegas!

Hi Miss Agatha,

Thanks for the note! We're thrilled you'd like to invest in our country since the US has hit a bit of an economic rough patch. I'm sure the US would greatly appreciate the generous offer, regardless of the donation amount. Unfortunately I don't really know where to direct your inquiry from here. All my money goes to the IRS, but I'm sure if you sent them a check they'd be happy to put it to good use. Let me know how it turns out!

Best,

- Oh! Ryan Kelley

PS - The trustworthy person you got my contact from wasn't Steve was it?

"Alfie, a 10-year-old Shire-cross, is said to flee if he thinks he is in danger of getting even a trim.

The horse also refuses to let staff at the stables in Bitton, Gloucestershire, into his stall there for fear that they will remove his whiskers."
