GL's Swan Song (in Off-topic)

Well, work finally did it, and in a rather insidious way.

They didn't block access to CB, which is what I would have expected. No, they've rolled out software we use to safeguard students onto all staff PCs.

What this software does, is when triggered (usually by a specific word or phrase), is to take a screen capture of the PC triggering it. Saving everything on screen at the time to be investigated.

Woot...

Very effect for safeguarding students, but now CB is a no go area for me at work. Which has effectively hammered the final nail into the coffin of any idea I had of running another NCB.

I could use my phone to pay CB, but unfortunately I get limited and intimitant reception in my office, which puts paid to that as well.

:(

CB has been a massive part of my life for over 5 years. You've been here for me through highs and lows. I have met some of the most amazing people in the world here. So stopping popping in is going to be very hard. But without the game to draw me, I see my visits becoming less and less frequent.

It seems the one thing I really loved about CB that other similiar games lack, the fast regeneration of resources, is going to be the major reason I can no longer play. :( I guess I need to find a slower paced game that I can play in an evening, and won't have wasted any resource refesh by the time I come home in an evening.

Well take care everyone, you've been the best virtual family a guy could have asked for. ;)

Pax!

you could tap into your office's wifi with your phone you know =x

*Sad Wookie Cry*

Really unfortunate about work GL.

; (

try shakes & fidget or minethings perhaps?

I suggest taking your IT folks out to lunch

you can still buy BA after your NCB and make $... shouldn't stop playing on account to losing hours during the day :( I'd hate to see ya go! I agree with novice: IT guys enjoy feeling important, be-friend them! :)

No!!!!!! That's a sad day. I'm probably not far behind the way my job is going. Every so often my proxy doesn't work, one day the firewall will catch me....

That's quite a draconian method. I can't imagine accepting that much privacy lost to big brother, but it is England. :(

How about switching phone providers to one without a dead zone?

And at least join the CB guild on Shakes & Fidget! That game is a once-a-day thing, so you can still keep up your contact with us there!

Ditto to S&F working with your nighttime schedule.

for the better part of 6 years ive been playing cb only when not at work, so i used to run ncbs and miss all that ba while at work.

if you want to find something you can pick up and put down in an evening would be a console. buy a DSLite and buy an r4! i love it
