Screen when you are AFK for over 6 hours
AFK, which stands for Away From Keyboard, is a term that standards for someone who is not currently actively participating in the game despite being online. This can be because they aren't on the computer, or are distracted by something else such as browsing the Internet, playing other games, watching videos, etc.
The game considers someone AFK if they haven't moved in 30 seconds since the start of the round (or died before moving at start of round). AFK players die 30 seconds after the round started. If you move when the round starts but then go AFK, the game doesn't consider you AFK in regards to any AFK issues mentioned below.
Players who are AFK for 6 hours are disconnected from the game, with the message "You've been AFK for too long :'(".
There is no AFK disconnection in the Map Editor.
Anti-AFK measures
- Mice dying 30 seconds after the beginning of the round was first introduced on 10 September 2010 (V0.80) but was removed on the same day (V0.81) because it was bugged and made the game unplayable.
- People who die by being AFK cannot be revived using the Ambulance skill.
- AFK players don't earn rewards in most events.
- People who die by being AFK lose 1 point, but people who die any other way gain 1 point.
