Digital Bath: 1. How did you first get involved with Online Worlds/Galaxies Ablaze?
Fugly Dragon: I was playing SK and becoming frustrated at the amount of cheating and long term bugs, and the inactivity of the administration in dealing with them. I began to wonder if I could do something similar myself, at about that time I had a conversation with Chick and it turned out she was having similar thoughts, 18 months later here we are.

Digital Bath: 2. How has it impacted your life?
Fugly Dragon: What life ? I spend several hours every day on GA, MR, the mud. Some days more than others. I have a daughter of 18 months, a son of 6 weeks, a wife and a business to run. I don't have time for a life.

Digital Bath: 3. How do you think the game has changed since it's beginning? good and bad?
Fugly Dragon: It is now relatively bug free, relatively cheater free and I think we have accomplished what we set out to do. Any game is going to change over time and have a 'shelf life' of interest for players, but that doesn't mean it should be changed fundamentally to keep those players interested. There are always new players coming along for whom it is a new experience. The 'vets' are best kept happy with new challenges in the form of new games.

Digital Bath: 4. What kind of feeling do you get when you see how the game has grown and how many players it has attracted?
Fugly Dragon: I am proud of what we have accomplished, it was hard work and we were by no means sure we would achieve our goals.
