He has plenty of time! @Joshua of COURSE you would do something like that! And you call ME the cheater... ;) @azazel This girl is, whether he blocks the ports or not! @dorf Okay, so I am a college kid that doesn’t work a 9 to 5 yet, but two nights a week he’s home before me from work for two hours and another two I am gone until at least 10PM!

I have 5 irrefutable reasons that I will be the victor in this little battle! @azazel You are correct sir- she will no longer be on the internet after I go home and configure the WoW ports to be blocked on my router between the hours of 8:00am and 6:00pm >:) @jonwomeldorf Wait for the follow-up, sir.

Any competant player can level quickly if they dont spend time dilly dallying since the modifications by Blizzard to make leveling from 1-60 faster were put in place. 2. Focus is important I'll give you that. 3. This has no bearing what so ever, anyone famliar with an RPG and the internet has the same ability to level as someone that has been playing forever. 4.This is your main advantage, people that have to work and cant play all day are definatly at a disadvantage. 5. INCORRECT. On a per person basis this can be true but as a whole men are more logical thinkers than women, hence there being so few women developers. http://www.halfsigma.com/2006/08/are_men_more_lo.html Conclusion: Nicole will win becuase she will spend more time playing, that's it. All be it because Josh is at work or gets distracted. Sorry Josh, there's really no point to continue this futile endeavor. Responses:
