This is nothing but a transparent attempt to solicit responses, so...
Do you ever play Diplomacy (check maps, send orders, conduct
negotiations, etc.) from your place of employment?
A) No. I don't have an Internet connection.
B) No. I'm far too busy.
C) No. Work is for work. I play on my own time.
D) Yes. When I can get away with it.
E) Yes. During breaks/lunch.
F) Yes. Nobody cares.
G) Absolutely. It's a model for both cooperation and competition.
H) Other.
I'll choose "F" for myself. As long as the work is done and we've got a
mind on the business, no one cares if you spend a few minutes on
personal pursuits (within the bounds of the Standards of Business
Conduct, blah, blah, blah...).
What I find amusing is the reactions of those few who walk by my cube.
While they're busy shopping online or playing Fantasy [insert sport
here], they assume I'm some sort of mad genius bent on global
domination...
<pause>
What was I saying?
Anyway, they invariably ask, "Is that like 'Risk?'" After the first few
doomed attempts to explain it, I've just started replying, "mm-Hmm."
