How about she codes an AL version that will be able to go through all of our job's blockades?

Something that doesn't have anything about :

Quote:Online Role Playing Game, rpg, role-playing game, roleplaying game, free rpg, torncity, online rpg, free online rpg, cyberpunk, shadowrun

So our dear security guys won't see it has a "nothing to do with work" link and allow it?

:wink:

For those of us where I work at least, there are no firewall or filter problems... The problem is, management walks by and sees x people with the characteristic black/green/red screens up on our second monitors all day. They currently are being kind of cool about it, but it is definitely drawing negative attention. We are working and being productive(it only takes half a dozen mouse clicks every 30 min or so to keep training up), but it has to potential to be an easy target if any problems surface.

I am for the option to offer an alternative simply to get back under the radar and let management scowl at all the youtube addicts.

Apparantly pillaging in AL isn't good enough for one viking anymore.

I was actually working on Greasemonkey script for the site and had already made some skins with the Stylish add on when this was brought up . Just B&W doesn't make it as playable... a broad background/color change makes the site look really bad, and you miss the cues for the red event/gang war notices. If you don't try to correct the font colors, the default text is actually kind of grey and doesn't show up on the lighter color backgrounds that we are looking for.

To avoid losing the playability, you need to translate the colors one by one in some of the tables, which is a real PITA for someone who is not a professional at this.

Also, while I don't have the problem, some corporate environments won't let you install Firefox...Sounds crazy, but it is true.

Look in your in-game preferences page. While the optional layout in my opinion is difficult on the eyes (both by sheer ugliness and eye strain) it certainly doesn't seem to draw too much attention. I tried using it for 5 minutes and just can't handle it though haha.
