If you find this game worth an extra days pay, then it's money well spent.  For me, spending $50 on the game, then losing $140 to play it is not even worth considering lol.  But if it's worth it to you, it doesn't matter what anyone else says.

So when did boss become god? Who cares who lies to their boss? They're the boss...they are supposed to be lied to. Besides, calling in sick isn't always a lie. It's just, we can't say "Hey, I'm calling in sick...sick of work today. Sorry. Will be in tomorrow."

You must be a boss. You have probably been lied to. It probably makes it hard for you to sleep at night, such poor self esteem. You wanted to be the good guy but realized that people still treat you like crap simply because you're the boss. You're the enemy to everyone who has to work beneath you.

 

No, im not a boss. I'm at the very bottom, I have nobody under me, so you can't get any lower. I work as a ASP/.NET programmer.

If you want to play a game, then say it as it is. I have done that a few times and my boss have always accepted that. If you just say it in advance you can always plan around it, so it won't hurt the company. You don't even have to say it to play. I just say I want that day off and he says "no problem".

You are in serious need of "workmorale". You are the type of person who thinks it's ok to drink 20 beers on a sunday evening and call in sick monday. If you even have a job I'm guessing you'll be fired very soon, and the company won't be missing you, since you never do anything anyway.

LYING IS WRONG... Nomatter who you do it to. (Unless you work as an undercover spy).

It''s one thing to have a opinion, but enforcing one is unconstitutional.

I wouldn't bother to call in sick - just would take a day off, except I am onsite out of town at a client's all week.   So I'd have to be pretty deathly ill not to go in to work since they flew me out here and are putting me up in a hotel all week. Doh.

On the flipside, I shouldn't gripe about a free vacation. I just want to play WAR!!

How much do you get paid if you get $140 in ~32 hours/4 days? o.0

Dear god chill out.. Calling in sick is not a federal crime and to be honest.. Alot of people in the US cant just "Take a day off" They would get reprimanded or fired.. So calling in sick is the way they get that ability..
When you work 51 weeks a year and get 6 holidays that you get extra pay for but still have to work..
Just be grateful you are privileged and don't pass judgment on others you know nothing about.
 

How anyone can be so condescending..

Coincidentally, I was already taking off tomorrow for a doctor's appointment... so I'll have until late morning to cram as much WAR as humanly possible. =D

Any word on an official SE launch time (US - EST)?
