I joined Nubblies back in February of 2002. I am the owner of the user name 'Biatch'. I however apparently never used the user name, and ended up creating the user name 'Nathan' which I started going by starting in August of 2003. If it was not for Orgazmo, I probably never would have joined these forums.

Before ever joining Nubblies, if my memory serves me correctly, I first met Orgazmo, Dirty Harry, and BigDongedHoe on an Ultima Online player ran shard named "Valley of Evil" (VOE). Dirty Harry went by the name of Smokey, BigDongedHoe was Dark_Rain, and Orgazmo was Hell-Duck. All three were members of the SKBK guild, which stood for "Shoot Kick Beat Kill".

I would be lying if I said at the time that I didn't fear SKBK, especially Hell-Duck who I always viewed as the guild leader of the bunch. I hate to admit it but early on in our playing days together, Hell-Duck was an unstoppable force. Myself and the real FuzZ, who also is a real life friend, were a bit awestruck when we watched you guys play together - it was almost scary lol.

In our defense, that was early in our UO days, and neither of us had access to very good computers or internet yet and I would think you all would agree my skills greatly advanced over the next couple of years. To be honest, I have no idea what the SKBK guys perception was of me at the time and that would be an interesting tell if anyone would like to share.

Back then I went by the name "FuzZ", which technically is the name my best friend has always gone by - I typically more often in games have gone by the names "Tarkus", "Elrohir" and of course "Nathan" or "Nasty Nate". I don't know how long SKBK had been active on VOE before my arrival, but if I had to guess, my run on that shard probably lasted 6 months or so.

After Valley of Evil, I believe all of us played on another Ultima Online shard named "New Sosaria". This time I think a few others joined us, including the 'real' FuzZ, Kage (RL friend), and I believe Active. Also, this time around I believe I was with SKBK, not against them.

During my senior year of high school, I was responsible for the creation of the "Nubblies Shard". Nubblies Shard was another Ultima Online player ran shard that I hosted from my home PC, and was obviously inspired by Nubblies.net. I had no idea what I was doing, nor did I have the hardware to properly support the shard. Hell, the same computer that initially hosted Nubblies Shard was the same computer I gamed from.

After a month or so, I passed ownership of the shard to a couple of online friends I had met from EA's Ultima Online (paid servers). Even to this day I feel bad when I think back about the Nubblies Shard, what it was, and what it became. Although Orgazmo backed, I had no business naming the shard after Nubblies. I am sure the performance for others was terrible, the server stability was a joke (I would often find the shard down when I came home after school), and I know for certain that the assholes I gave the shard to ran it into the ground. I don't know if I ever said this to you all, but I am sorry that I allowed the Nubblies Shard to ever exist the way it did.

Throughout my time playing on these various UO shards I was a regular poster on Nubblies. Even after the Nubblies Shard died, I continued to periodically make visits here regularly until sometime in 2007. Nubblies.net has always been a source of entertainment, and even though you may not see me post very often, I can assure you I am quite the avid Nubblies reader.

I am fully or partially responsible for bringing the following people to Nubblies:

Biatch (A username I believe I created, but never used?)
Kage (MHS, UO)
Constance (MHS)
FuzZ (MHS, UO)
Steven (MHS)
edwina (Inheritor of Nubblies Shard)
Cheeba (UO)
Robby (MHS, UO)
Rishnak (Inheritor of Nubblies Shard)
Admin Holy Light (aka edwina)

Happy to be back,

Nathan

BTW - Are we no longer ruining lives one person at a time?
