I decided to do this because there seems to be a bit of misunderstanding to some people about what my job is, what I do at said job and how would it ever be possible for me to have as much free time to play FRP as I do. So this is a little background on what I do every night.

I get to work around 12am my time (1am server). When I arrive at work I have to "count" the inmates which is one of 3 counts we do during the night. We count at 12am, 3am, and 5am. These counts are subject to change at anytime and can even have added counts in there as we frequently do. Once I've completed the 12am count (anywhere from 12:15-12:45am depending on how much chatting we do) one of my other job tasks during the night is to read the inmates outgoing mail. I am however exempt from this since the Unit I work in the mail is monitored by the FBI and is well out of our hands.

Now we come to the meat of my "shift". While most of my fellow employee's like to take this time to catch up with friends on the phone, or sleep (yup several of them do this). I have tasked myself with the collateral duty job of monitoring inmate phone calls and emails. I tend to shy away from emails as the vast majority of those are monitored by our investigations department with an automated "sifting" system that picks out keywords and such. So I fire up our phone system on my PC at my work station, this system records all inmate phone calls, and I begin from the day before, put my headset on and begin monitoring phone calls.

Obviously sitting there listening to inmates drone on about how this staff member was mean to them, or how bubba took their cheetos the day before or how they need money so bad can be rather tedious. Since my hands are very idle during this time, I tend to open up internet explorer and browse the internet. You might be asking how we have internet access? I question that myself at times, although it becomes a very important resource when you're cross referencing words that inmates use that you've never heard of, or if you are doing research on something else they may be talking about. That being said we have a firewall system (not sure what its called) that prevents us from being able to visit websites with "profane" content. This includes nudity, pornography, information about overthrowing the government, GAMES, etc.

So you might be asking yourself "BBM, if it blocks games how can you get to FRP!?" I'll explain this as best as I understand it. While our system blocks many games and inappropriate websites, it doesn't get them all. From what I gather it nicks the most popular of them. When I found FRP I was approximately 25-30 pages deep in google, and I found it on one of those websites that list a bunch of games (the ones where we can vote for FRP for experience) While we all enjoy this game, it doesn't exactly have a huge following and isn't overwhelmingly popular when it comes to "google" criteria.

Now back to these phone calls I monitor. I attack the whole time I'm listening to phone calls. I sit in the chat room and sometimes there are people on that time of night and I chat with them, and obviously this cuts into attack time. So you can directly relate the number of attacks I do at night while I'm at work to how much time I spend chatting in the chat room, or to how many "reports" I have to write. See when listening to these phone calls I pick up alot of information that other people would miss because they don't monitor them like they should. Including inmate fights, sexual abuses, drug transactions, gambling, and other vile activities that inmates get up to while serving their time. Each time I suspect that I've overheard important information I fill out a report that I send on to our investigations department. The investigations then uses this information to monitor the suspected inmates and break up their activities or prosecute them for illegal activities such as drugs or sexual abuses.

Of course I have to stop doing everything for our other 2 scheduled counts during the night, as well as any other non scheduled counts. I also have to periodically do other small tasks. Administer urinalysis tests, wake up inmates for work details, send out inmates on medical trips or transfers or releases...etc. Also after 6am (7am server) I have to open the inmates cells and let them out for the days activities, and that's when our "mainline" opens which is the serving of the breakfast meal. I'm very rarely on after this point, it all just depends on what unit I'm working and whats going on during that particular day.

Now I don't expect everyone to understand how all this works, but I can a**ure you, I do my job, and I do it well. I've gotten many awards and in grade promotions for the work I've done just listening to phone calls. I'm not saying I'm a super star, but compared to my other fellow employees that spend their nights sleeping or whatever else they do by themselves all night, I tend to stick out as someone who does their job well.

It is very possible as well that somewhere along the line that our software at work will pick up on this game and block it, in which case my attacks will take a drastic hit and my growth will slow incredibly. I dread that day, but its very possible.

To explain again how I attack. I use ASDW to move, then click with the mouse to attack, use Q to back out of the attack screen and then click to attack again. Rinse, repeat. I do this in a "spam" manner. Meaning I get the screen that says you can't attack again over and over and over. I just find it easier than trying to get a rhythm going of any sort. Its very easy to do 1000 attacks an hour if you are uninterupted. and its also very possible to get well over 1300 if you're hitting it hard. There are many other people who most of you would consider "legit" that can verify this information even if you don't believe me.

I'm very open to explaining anything I do either at work or what I do in the game. I don't cheat, never have, never will. I find if very irritating that I even need to do this to explain myself, but I'm doing it anyway. If I can even alleviate one persons doubts in what I do I feel its a win. I know I'll never convince most of the doubters and I think I've come to grips with that, but it still doesn't stop it from bothering me on some level.

The day that they do indeed block FRP will suck. Surely they see your browsing history. But if it doesn't mess with you job, then I feel like they shouldn't bother with it.

Nope, happens all the time. I monitor probably 2-3 calls a night that are like that. Its more funny than anything because the phones the inmates use are in a public area. They're just out in the open and everyone in the unit can hear you talking so they try to disguise it well. I just laugh at it though because I would imagine if I were in their place I would do the same thing.

What's really awkward is when you listen to someone having phone sex, then the next day you work overtime in the visiting room and the women he was having phone sex with comes in to visit him. Its very hard to contain yourself from cracking up. You never look at people the same.

As for browsing history, yes they do record that, however, they never check it unless something very inappropriate goes on. Like we had an inmate murdered a few years ago, and they pulled the officers browsing history on his computer. They got him for "Misuse of Computers" but there wasn't anything he could have done to prevent the murder. Hell even the guys in the next cell didn't hear it. He got a day off unpaid. However he was viewing pretty inappropriate stuff, I won't elaborate but I'd imagine you can guess.

No one has ever gotten in trouble for playing games where I work.

I honestly "goon out" a lot when I'm attacking. I'm listening to the call so I swear sometimes I don't even see the screen. I'll be stuck hitting Q on a captcha for like 5 min sometimes before I realize it.
