VDip has been banned. Oli should be seriously impressed.

My work's IT department has obviously noticed my excessive visiting of VDip during work time and has banned the website. Add in some boozy lunch drinks and I'm NNRing a lot more than usual. Discuss.

Can you use a phone?

get into a routine of checking each day at a certain time or times while home, if you get into a routine, it becomes less likely that you will NMR.

They probably wouldn't have blocked all of the pages. Look through a lot, and find one that they haven't blocked, and just get on using that.

They block the domain vdiplomacy.com, not individual pages. And +1 to using a phone, assuming you have a smartphone. Head to the bathroom and chill for 5-10 minutes while you put some moves in.

Anybody tried ChessQuire DOT com Website? It's too new to have been blocked.

It's a variant chess game with a 10 by 10 space board and an added "Squire" piece; reminds me of the Pirate piece in VDip's Caribbean ...

Taylor that post has nothing to do with this discussion.
On the phone thing, taking your dump and putting in moves is slightly challenging haha.

Thanks everyone. Some good advice. Need to get my VDip shit together.

Also since vDip runs both on vDiplomacy.com and vDiplomacy.net perhaps you can get on the other one to the one you usually go on? Not sure if that will work, but it might...

@ taylor4 : yes, your post has nothing to do with this discussion but THANK YOU VERY MUCH !
As a former chess tournament player almost bored by the fact that chess is way too much theorized, I appreciate very much that you have pointed out to me that variant !

If you work on a laptop you could always do what I do:
Tether from your phone during your break, so that nothing is blocked since its your IP. Then get back to work on their IP.

@Retillion: You are most welcome. Enjoy the chess board game variant.

@The Ambassadore: You work for the NSA? Utah lawman wants to turn off Ur water supply. Period. No H20

Taylor I hope you are better at keeping up with press in games than you are at keeping up with forum threads!
