Question regarding Office mode
Heres a predicament.
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.
Do you think I could get away with saying its 'research' or a 'nessacery tool'? If so then hooray!

I have a different problem. When playing uplink the issue was never "are you playing a game?" but
"where are you logging in to?"
"what are you doing to that server?"
"isn't that illegal?"
which goes to show that despite working in IT people don't pay much attention to what real network tools look like.
My question about office mode is - will it work without an install?
i.e. for the computers at work here, can I run defcon from a folder on my usb pen drive?
I'm probably on dodgy ground actually installing software on the pc, but uplink always worked nicely from a usb stick.
And we've all got usb sticks at my work, so we could get a good game or two going if I can show the game off and get a few others to buy it and get into it

You won't get an answer from the devs on this prior to the launch, and the only other people in the know (namely the Beta testing crowd) can't tell you because of the NDA.
Still, if IV follow their usual pattern it should be playable from USB devices, so I'd say the chances are reasonable.

Actually, the alpha testers could also answer this question. However, because I don't feel very kind this morning, and because I like to keep people wondering, I won't. :)

indeed.
and, thinking about it, if the FAQ is correct in its assertion that the linux version will be an .exe that works with the windows data files it is even more likely that OS parameters will be irrelevant. Theorectically you could have the windows exe and the linux exe side by side on your usb stick, and run it on whichever machine was available at the time. sweet.
