I joined in 2012 on an account called DerpedOutX upon stumbling across Toribash through an obscure link. I wasn't really interested at first but I immediately became addicted. I started out with generic noob mods like mushu, judo, and fuckin' twinswords, but I never played aikido. I was shit at it.
I stopped playing it for some reason but picked it back up in early 2014. I remember when I used to play, I was playing each match one by one earning 10 tc each game just to get what I've been dreaming of. A head texture. They used to 2000 tc before and I got pretty salty when I saw they dropped. But I managed to save up over 1000. So I bought my first item, a head texture. I then bought chronos gradients. And then whatever the fuck next. I felt like such a b0ss with my pink tori and google robot head texture.
After some time, I managed to get okay at the game and bought all the 128 body textures as soon as I had enough tc. By this time I didn't even know the difference between 128, 256, and 512. 128 was cheaper so obviously I would get that. I started with a bad lava set mixed in with an aqua force for some reason.
My first clan was (Unleash), I got in after becoming friend with one of the recruiters. There's a clan right now, I believe, called (Unleash) but I believe it is a reboot since it's under the same name, The Unleashed. I don't remember much about this.
I left (Unleash) later to join [MyLittle], but at this time the clan was already dying/dead. I didn't really do much here and after the leader would never respond to my pms (who I'm good friends with now) I left.
I then managed to save up 15k or 10k to make a clan (whatever the price was back then, either way I thought 10k or more meant I was rich af). I found someone named TimeElaps and another named Jaxonia (who continued playing and got a name change to Jaxon) and we made a clan. (iC) Ice Cream. After a while Jaxonia and I didn't seem to get along very well and he left, killing the clan. I believe he made his own clan (Godly) which he later rebooted into (God).
Sometime around here, when I was a 3rd dan, I switched accounts to Nugeten. I didn't play for long after that and completely stopped playing in October 2014. I've forgotten about the game but remembered it a year later, for some reason.
In October 2015, I came back as Nugeten and started playing again. After a while I connected with a few people I had befriended and after long decided to join a clan. I had joined (Chem) The Alchemists which was a generally an unorganized clan led by Xydra, who barely knew what he was doing. I left because of that, however I did make some good friends like the leader of [MyLittle] I was talking about, and decided to make my own clan.
I've returned to (iC) and reformed it into (2nd) 2nd Clan. It didn't take long for me to realize that I didn't enjoy solo leading a clan and no one wanted to help, so I left it and finally let it die.
This is when I applied for (im). I remembered Wizard03 from last year and was happy to see him still a GM. I got in with a subpar app and was basically just a regular member. Not special, posting on the clan thread regularly. Not long after Wizard left his clan to join Inquisition (this is part of the reason why I hate Inq so much), but Wizard had made me leader for some reason. I'm still not sure why he choose me to lead, and not someone who has been in the clan since almost the beginning, or one of the council members. Around this time, players like Acryul, Colors (who is now also a leader) and box joined.
I started getting really good, and playing aikido and abd almost exclusively. I became pro and started playing in GM tourneys and betting servers. I also started becoming active regularly in IRC. All of this opened me up to a whole community, and I love *almost* all of them <3. I got a name change to Nugget later since everyone kept calling me Nugget (good looks Swosh for the sponsor).
I plan in the future to apply for GM, since I'm so active on both the forum and especially ingame, also considering I'm good at the game, I often host betting servers (which darknis once added 200k to dp), tourneys, and other servers, and I'm on good terms with most of the staff.
10 infractions, two bans, and a Kyure later. I'm Nugget.
