Wasn’t I surprised when in tweeting yesterday and entering a contest that it would bring me to this. In about 6 or 7 emails back and forth I was asked to be all this awesome all girls gaming team. So I suppose I should give some history of who I am.
My name is Steph I live in Jersey and I have 5 children. My oldest son(20) is a professional gamer and my 11 year old loves gaming Online and his PS2, it must run in the family! It was 1998 when I got my first computer and it was about 3 months after then I joined my first gaming team on yahoo games playing Literati. I was hooked to the Internet and that it had to offer.
My love soon wavered when on my birthday I was given my first Sims game. I was hooked and addicted, and HAD to have every single one! Thank goodness I don’t (some aren’t so good) About 2 years after that my son asked me to play a game with him. He needed officers and I didn’t have to do anything, he swore! So I joined Outwar with him and soon after was a bit addicted. This was my first taste of a text base/turn-base MMO and I loved it.
This lead to my 7/8 year stint on Kings of Chaos, a text/turn/free-browser based MMO, where me and my alliance there became one of the most hated, hated being an understatement. All of that said I loved the community, the people, and some of the life-long friends I have made there. I still have an account there to check in on the game, and idle on their IRC channel daily.
I have spent most of my gaming career Online playing games in text/turn based form. I don’t know why, but I love them, almost prefer them, some of the more fun ones I have played”

Just to name a handful. I do help beta test some and will more likely blog about them here now when I do.
My most known gaming handle I go by is Vivlady or B1tch, but some know me as ImNotVivlady. My name Ayshah was given to me by a dear friends family, whom passed away earlier this January, we had met on KOC, he was probably one of the coolest and smartest kids I new. I became very close with his family since and they gave me the name in honor of him and I use it as my online name now.
I guess that’s the gaming me, the other me is a huge sports mom, my kids play travel baseball and rec baseball, basketball and football, but baseball is our forte and consumes a huge amount of time with all the teams they play on, but I love it. I own with my oldest son a skate clothing company called NotRobInc since 2002 and I own my own craft painting business called Everything Under The Moon. For real work I do PR/marketing/community management for MMO’s. When im not doing all that I go to college full time and am perusing my Bachelors in Computer Science. (yes I’m a geek<3) I love tattoos and have a half sleeve and am working on a full sleeve currently, all which I have drawn, and I have a few piercings.
Well I suppose that’s it, but that’s me in a nutshell! Thrilled to be a part of the team ![]()
