    taking turns for the foreseeable future.

    I've been lucky for the last ...15... years, i've been able to make periodic moves during the normal workday as I take a few minutes to mentally switch to new tasks or take quick mental breaks.

    That ended this week as work has blocked most non-productive sites. WG had always fell under the radar as it wasn't big enough nor drew much bandwidth. But all streaming services (music, video, etc), gaming sites, and i'm sure others i haven't come across yet are now fully disabled.

    So I will try to check moves nightly as i get the family to bed. I've been fairly slow on the forums as i've reserved my time/effort to keep games going. We'll see how much time i spend now that it's all being concentrated at once!

    See ya when i see ya.

    I'm a man.
    But I can change,
    if I have to,
    I guess...

    Ouch. That sucks. I'm sure everyone will find some other way to be non-productive even without the internet. Sorry you won't be around as much.

    Yeah, that sucks.

    One of the schools I worked at a few years ago did that (we must protect the students!), but I (against policy) used my laptop with their projector and also used my cell to tether to the internet.

    I've learned how to make moves on my phone for such situations.

    Very sad to hear Weathertop

    I've played almost exclusively on my phone for the past 7ish years, before that on a desktop

    I don’t think I have played wargear anywhere but a phone since I switched from a blackberry to a touchscreen.

    Gotta zoom around a lot but it gets the job done.

    I've taken turns on a flip phone on occasion. Wouldn't recommend, though.

    Sorry to hear that, Weathertop :(

    I too have found my phone to be a lifesaver, but for some boards I try to only play them on a desktop. It's too hard to watch history on the phone, a lot easier on the computer

    I hope my office doesn't follow suit. The short mental breaks at work is when I play as well.
