P99 at Work!

Losing your job and ruining your life over Everquest = CLASSIC.

Start showing up to the office wearing EQ cosplay oufits

I'm of the opinion that the 40 hour work week is a crock of crap, especially if you're a salaried worker. I don't know why Americans have this obsession with being at work 40+ hours a week. Get your tasks completed? Go the heck home, get paid for the work that was done. Not paid for how long it took to do it.

Edit:

Obviously this is just for office type environments and less like security jobs or something where you're actively monitoring a situation for a period of time.

Dude, if you aren't worried about banging on your boss's desk... then don't worry about playing EQ.

It sounds like you subconsciously want to get caught... maybe you should just take it to the next level and bang your wife on your boss's desk during the work day while playing EQ. Just make sure you pull out before you feign death if your boss walks in.[You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

even better, bang the bosses wife on his desk while shes playing EQ

Kind of like that time my wife and I had sex on my bosses desk when I was working late and she was bringing me dinner.

"Was that wrong? Should I have not done that? I tell you, I gotta plead ignorance on this thing because if anyone had said anything to me at all when I first started here that that sort of thing was frowned upon, you know, ‘cause I've worked in a lot of offices and I tell you people do that all the time."

Usually with the intern.

Because if people hadn't have died for the 40 hour work week, we'd all be doing 80 hour work weeks.

Not sure how complex your network is at work, but not only is it detectable, the more modern firewalls put your traffic in a nice, easy to read graph. Let me tell you, the computer illiterate folks in your HR department love easy to read charts and graphs.

VPN to encrypt the traffic?

Whatever you do, for the love of god do not start playing P99 at work. Only bad things will happen. Even if your boss says "Hey Johnny, I think you should start playing video games while at your desk" - you should tell him to f#ck off. It will build bad work habits and you will become a piece of sh!t

Forumquest like the rest of us and lower your immersion level immediately.

So I tested running p99 off a thumb drive over the holiday, and it worked. No real surprise there.

After the holiday, back at work, I ask an IT buddy of mine about how would this work if I tried running it off my thumb drive on the work PC (which is obviously company property and against our policy). He said it wouldn't be detected at all by any way he can think of based off how they monitor our PCs...

So before I put my job on the line doing something I'm not supposed to do (but REALLY want to do since this game is awesome and typically we have lots of down time) can anyone out there tell me of ways I would be caught?

Depends on where you work, at places like mine all the work pc's are blocked from installing or running software not on a list of company approved ones. I've tried running p99 via usb and sd card, both pop up with needing admin user/pass.
