USE:

  1. Type "afk" if you plan to be away from your keyboard for a short while. Type it again when you return.

When your afk flag is set, other characters who attempt to contact you via the Ask, Page, Tell, or Whisper commands will receive a polite message informing them that you're temporarily unavailable.

Remember to type "afk" when you return to your keyboard!

Note that the inactivity timer continues to run, regardless of your afk setting. This is for the safety of your character. The afk command is a courtesy to other characters letting them know not to wait for your reply.

"It is important to remember that any abstract story system ultimately refers to the sorrows and pleasures of human life and that the story of any event depends heavily on who is doing the telling. A storytelling system that further calcifies the distortions of stereotypical thinking would be as destructive as the most bigoted and bloodthirsty bard. We humans already do enough mechanical thinking without enlisting machines to help us."
-- Janet H. Murray,
