Archived Multiple People Using The Afk Nickname

[ItsLateKnight]

It is just as the thread title says, I feel like it would benefit multiple people if they can use the AFK nickname as more a reserved word so that multiple people can use it. This way it's not being hogged by any one user. As it would seem fairly easy to implement over other kinds of afk command suggestions and it would be useful in conveying to other players that you cannot communicate back.

Could you elaborate? I feel like the message you're trying to convey is a bit vague

Isnt this already a possibility?

I don't see the benefits outweighing the time to implement this. We've managed for years using OOCrayons, AFKoalas, and the like. If someone is AFK, then after a few moment of not speaking a player should know they either A) aren't around or B) don't want to talk to you. The same goes for OOC. If someone makes a comment in RP, just mention you're OOC.

Or, just remove your nickname entirely. It has the same social effect as the upper two anyways.
