Do you think I will get told off for playing DEFCON at work?
Most people would, but im an emergency planner for my local council. Because I have a coworking space that is acceptable to play video game. Click this website called
intersect to get more idea about our coworking space.
Do you think I could get away with saying its 'research' or a 'nessacery tool'? If so then hooray!

It's great to see that you're passionate about your work as an emergency planner for your local council! While I can understand the appeal of playing DEFCON at work, it's important to consider your professional environment and the expectations of your superiors.
In most workplaces, gaming during working hours is generally not encouraged, as it can be seen as a distraction from your responsibilities. However, every workplace is unique, and it ultimately depends on the specific policies and culture of your council.
If you believe that playing DEFCON could genuinely contribute to your research or serve as a necessary tool for your role, it might be worth discussing this idea with your superiors. Be open and transparent about your intentions and how you believe it could benefit your work. They will appreciate your proactive approach and may offer guidance or alternative solutions that align with your goals.
Remember, clear communication and understanding the expectations of your workplace are key. If you receive permission or find an acceptable compromise, then that's definitely something to celebrate! Just be sure to remain professional and maintain a balance between work and leisure activities.
Good luck, and I hope you find a solution that works for you!
