AFK AFKTELL Usage: AFK + reason


If you need to leave the computer, for instance to go to the toilet or get a

glass of beer, it is a good idea to inform the world that you are Away From

the Keyboard or AFK. You do this by typing AFK (followed by the reason if you

want to), which sends a message to the room you are in, and also sets the flag

AFK at your name in the WHO-list. With the toggle AFKTELL you can set if you

want to receive tells while AFK or not. Default is off. You can still see the

other channels, so you can scroll back and see what you missed. Setting the

flag is mainly an act of courtesy to other players, to explain why you don't

respond. To remove the AFK flag, just type AFK again.
