I'm sorry for unrelated question, but what "Ubilo" stands for?

I ask because in most Slavic languages (e.g. in Russian) it sounds like "It killed me" — though often in indirect sense (like "this joke almost killed me — I nearly died of laugh").

    It stands for "Ulusal Bilgisayar Olimpiyati" and means National Olympiad in Informatics.

    XD, I remembered my high school years in Lineage II) T.O.I — is still location "Tower of Insolence" for me)

    UPD, I was bad player in NFS, but I was moderating and writing articles for one of the most popular NFS-fan website, creating vinyls for NFS:Most wanted, I was bad player in CS 1.6, but I had my own public 24/7 server, organized several interesting clan wars, and created my own maps to play with friends. I was bad player in Lineage II, and didn't even knew how to set up bot for farming money, but I wrote a script for packet sniffer to heal players in farm zones (after small payments :D), and I've made "Soul separator" dagger from aspen (Vampiric resist :D). My parents will never understand why computer games was so interesting for me, and why my computer was turned on 24/7)
