Topic: Members
Posted by Chris Cummings at 6:38 AM EDTYee-haw! And congratulations to Gamesviller Rockerbear of Lansing, MI. On May 28, she proved to be the fastest gun in the West--and became our first Quick-Draw Poker 2009 jackpot winner!
Rockerbear enjoys bingo, crafts, and ther wild outdoors. We're guessing, she's going to add Quick-Draw Poker to that last pretty soon :-) Congratulations again to Rockerbear--and thank you, everyone, for your feedback on Quick-Draw Poker. We understand there are some hardware/software configurations that are having troubles connecting with certain game rooms, and thanks to the awesome assistance of members like Crickettot and others, we're diagnosing those problems and releasing updates that are fixing them. We released two updates on Friday, and have another planned for early next week. We truly appreciate your support, and are very happy you're enjoying the game. But hold onto your hats, because there's much more to come at Gamesville in 2009! More fun, more prizes, more.... more.

Posted by ohryankelley at 5:51 PM EDTDistinguishing Personality Traits Nealla says, "This is our siamese-mix cat Nanami.

Topic: Members
Posted by ohryankelley at 2:17 PM EDTYesterday, 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? What do you do for a living? If you were stranded on a desert island what three items would you bring with you? What is your most treasured possession and why? What does your Gamesville member name mean? What game would you like to see Gamesville make next? Thanks, Tysondarty - and hopefully you'll get that trip to Hawaii!

Topic: Best Pets
Posted by ohryankelley at 11:59 AM EDTThis 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!"

Topic: Spam Bag
Posted by ohryankelley at 5:48 PM EDTFrom 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!
