Who knows, but he put a shout out to this guild. I too am certain he has other chars, but his friends are in torchwood. As much as I do not like his play, his guild mate has been very nice to me. I am just playing and hopefully one day I can tell him where he went wrong in the game. I am sure before that he will know it. I do not want to attack or camp him. I do not like his BB play, but I do not dislike HIM. Would be cool to talk and play with him on WoW.

We often have that sort of discussion here about how much BB is just a game and how much is real life. For example, World of Warcraft is a game. Is BB the same?

WAVE, I watched that video earlier......(i think his application video) He said he and his wife were separated in 2005 because of his video game addiction on Everquest.

WoW is a game, and the game Ronnie plays as he admitted hours a day. WoW will not further him in this game. WoW and BB are 2 very different games.

I guess I meant it in more general terms. Is the person playing a character in both games or do we consider BB to be real life?

Fan3 never said Son was allowed to play 18 hours straight. But if he wanted to it, it would be so easy. Time and life goes away easily when you get caught up in WoW. That is why there are so many "WoW widows"

Kia Fan3 said she has seen him play 18 hours straight. And thus my question as to if she allows him. (I don't know how old her son is)

Confirmed his char name is Talby. Talked to one of his guild mates, and he is very nice. Can anyone get to his page like they did the other one? Jimmer, I just read an interview Ronnie's wife gave and I think he's kind of like one of these characters in real life in that he is extremely persistent and if someone crosses him, 'camping' them over and over is exactly what he will do. I also heard his story about calling the bakery more than once and making the clerk cry over a wrong cake style. I feel like he thinks BB is his game. His wife said he'd see it as a puzzle. I don't feel like his social skills are great and online, they don't necessarily have to be, so I have to agree with Kmjm's son in that Ronnie working on social skills with 'real' people may have helped him for the game. He attacks people to justify going after them. Pretty soon, they are going to attack back and he's only one person. Re BB being like real life is a hard one. I feel it is somewhat, as the good people shine through. We've seen many of these people get out of the house and be the same personalities (good or bad) as they were in the house. Yes, you would have hurt others to advance yourself in the BB game, but there's a right and wrong way to do it. I can tell the people who are the same inside and out of the house from those who have to go against their nature to stay in the game.

This is an interesting discussion. I didn't know anything about WoW, but when I asked and got some info on it, my immediate thought was how much time I spend watching Feeds and reading TVCH. To each his own. Some people spend hours watching TV. Some sleep as often as possible. Some read all night long. Whatever makes you happy, eh? So long as it's not hurting anyone. ETA: And by the way, much of those posts up there was like reading another language to me. LOL I'm glad there are those here that know what WoW is and shed some light on Ronnie's thought process.

I don't know so much about WoW, but I play EverQuest and if you are working on a quest or doing a raid, sometimes you HAVE to play for a few hours to get done. I'm glad Ronnie is playing WoW now so I won't run into him on EQ lol. He would probably stalk someone who made him mad.

Nerovh, you are quite right about the time it takes to run a dungeon or raid. Once you start you have to stay until the end and you have to plan ahead to have hours to spend doing it. So spending hours at a time on Wow is a must if you are going to be an active member of a guild or a suscessful player. This doesn't have to be every night but at least once a week. And Kia is right.... there is absolutely nothing about WOW that is going to help him in the BB House.

Being as the only game I've played in the last couple of years is Scrabble, I would also appreciate an explanation.

Nerovh ... what server do you play on? I used to play EQ, but not in the past couple of years (stupid computer can't handle it now). I played on Tunare as a Monk. She's kick ass and lvl 53 with awesome gear. I need to play again. But I'm glad Ronnie isn't on EQ .. when I get back on, I don't want to run across him.

I will try to explain, Kia may be better at it. Leroy is sort of a running joke in the world of WOW. In WOW there is a certain distance that you can get close to the enemy without aggro them, which means causing them to attack you. Leroy is someone who runs right into the center of a group of enemies and causes them to start attacking everyone. Did my best. lol
