Best Pet: Nealla's sleepy Siamese cat Nanami

This week's Best Pet comes to us from Gamesviller Nealla of Dripping Springs, TX. Meet her nappin friend Nanami!

Distinguishing Personality Traits

Winner Interview: Tysondarty

Topic: Members

Yesterday, Mommabear292 of Hellertown, PA, won $413 playing CatchUp CoverAll (congrats, Mommabear292!) -- and she's not the only one. In May alone, FOUR lucky winners won jackpots in CatchUp CoverAll including Tysondarty of Burnaby, British Columbia, who won $453!

What does her member name mean? And what would she bring with her to a desert island? Read on...

Gamesville: Congratulations! What was it like when you realized you won?
Complete disbelief! It was early in morning and everybody was sleeping. I received some chat room congratulations that were super, even the next day in another game. I brought hubby into the office the next morning to ask him to explain something to me on computer. Then I surprised him by showing him page with my win. I got a surprised look and then kisses.

What will you spend your winnings on?
We are seniors so travel is often beyond our limited budget. If we can pull off airfare and spending money our son has offered to pay for our accommodations so the three of us can take a trip to Hawaii. Yippee!

What do you do for a living?
Retired home care worker. Love the free time, hate the lack of money to do anything, expect play on Gamesville, LOL.

If you were stranded on a desert island what three items would you bring with you?
Computer, lifetime supply of beer, family.

What is your most treasured possession and why?
Family and friends, they got me through my cancer experience and I wouldn't trade them for anything.

What does your Gamesville member name mean?
A combination of Tyson(my last name), Dar (what my friends call me), Ty (what friends call my hubby).

What game would you like to see Gamesville make next?
I really like slots and poker games. Something different than what I usually play for hours on your site.

Thanks, Tysondarty - and hopefully you'll get that trip to Hawaii!

Best Pet: Luvcatz0's loveable cats Myrtle and Monster

Topic: Best Pets
This week's Best Pets come to us from Gamesviller Luvcatz0 of Gulfport, MS. Meet her lounging lovelies--Myrtle and Monster!

Distinguishing Personality Traits

Luvcatz0 says, "These are my cats Myrtle (the little one enjoying her nap) and Monster (looking straight at the camera). Myrtle is THE princess, who I also taught to call me 'mama' with distinction. Monster is the master of his domain and pretty much rules the roost.  He can be quite demanding at times, especially when dinner is being prepared. But don't you dare call either one of them spoiled!"

Spam Bag: General Ibrahim Offers Us Gold

Topic: Spam Bag

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...

______

My Dear,

I got your contact from the Gambia Chamber of commerce and I hope you will be a honest and sincere person to handle this viable project. I am a retired General from Guinea Bissau who served with The Economic Community Of West African State (ECOMOG) in Sierra Leone . I have about 250kg of Gold Dust of good quality ready for export to any interested & reliable buyer.

All the export documents are available, so if you are interested contact me immediately so that we can commerce immediate shipment. Thanks for your co-operation.

Best Regards,

Gen. Ibrahim Mendes (RTD)

______

General Ibrahim,

Thank you very much for contacting me regarding your Gold Dust. Unfortunately we recently requested to be taken off the list at the Gambia Chamber of commerce.

Regardless, here at Gamesville we're up to our eyeballs in GOLD but I think we could come up with some creative approaches to use this excess Gold Dust you're trying to export. Can we sprinkle a little in each game room? Or maybe use it as confetti when someone hits a BIG jackpot? Let me know how else we could use your good quality export. 

Best,

- Oh! Ryan Kelley
Gamesville Community Manager
