Official AFK Emote

[Caleb Killagin]

Yeah. This was suggested to be an option in VMK. Never happened. Most likely will happen there first if it even does happen..

[Pirate Rose]

Ok I did the .afk thing, and it worked really well. The only thing I saw was someone said to me "hmm, staring at a wall?" lol but no friend requests

[Sarah]

ok, First off, dumb question...Why is it AFK? Shouldn't it be AFC?

Second, the more people start to play this game, I think they're gonna start kicking off innactive pirates, like they do to your toons in toontown. For now, I use the thought bubble, too though, and it seems to work fine for me.

AFK is an acronym for "Away From Keyboard"
AFC would work if you were in a crew and needed to go AFK, though.

AHHH...see, learn something new every day. I thought it stood for "away from computer", hence my confusion (konfusion) LOL

I had never thought of the possibility of it being "Away From Computer." That could work too, since being away from the keyboard implies being away from the computer as well. lol

We could make "flip a coin" the unofficial AFK mode, either that or dance since they're the only two persistant emotes.

[Davy]

Flip a coin is probably better.

[Pirate Rose]

I'm using sleep

[TobiasOhawk]

I must have nudged my pirate while trying sleep, didn't notice it was persistant. I'll join Rose in making it my official AFK state.

[Davy]

I'll spread the word that /sleep is the official afk emote.

AFK is the very worst thing they have come up with for the game
they are every wherepirates of the living dead and most of them
do it right in the middle of some thing.

if you feel it's necassary to afk get out of the way
flip a coin yes let's encourage bad game play
