Support! But how about they pull out a riot shield, and they have never ending health! It would be a bit amusing seeing a guy AFK using a riot shield and then theres about 10 people trying to kill him, and you have to wait 20 seconds to go AFK.

Support. I don't really support the 15 second warm up, though. A lot of trolls and other stupid people would kill you in that time, and then you would be free to kill because the AFK would be canceled out.

Abusable, in a, say minigame place. Theres a minigame "Survive raining balls" or something, and you just click "AFK", become invincible, and win the minigame.

Abusable, People will use it when there almost dead, And heal while there "AFK", There shouldn be a AFK button its your fault and if you dont move for 30 minutes it kicks you out of the game.

@commander The game creator takes it in context. In minigames, he could choose not to allow it. In a sword fight TOURNAMENT, he might not allow it. In a sword fight GAME, he would allow it. See my point? I love the idea of the meditating robloxian :D SUPPORT!!! ========================================= ~TrevmVortex, Tactical Sarcastic Smurf Can I say "Derp"?

@xshadow I'm guessing that when you are AFK, your health stays the same as before you went AFK

So here's the scenario... Call of Duty 5 ROBLOXia was an awesome game... until everybody started pressing the AFK button to avoid being killed... now the game is abandoned and ROBLOX is a boring place. THE END

Support. I was thinking it makes you look like your in a ban, this is much more creative.

I also like the idea: it takes 20 seconds for you to go 'AFK'. Like in Dark...Orbit.

TOTALLY support. There should be a button that would enable the AFK button in place settings. Yet I can see people using it to camp and get easy KO's in war games.. But still, I SUPPORT! :D There have been people that have suggested this before. supportx10

Just to make those who are accusing the idea as abusable, I have mentioned, which you probably wouldn't have read further on the this thread, that the owner of the game can switch it off in "Configure my place" if they believe it will cause unfairity throughout the game or be advantageous to other players. Here is everything I have mentioned in the whole thread starting from the begining: --------- Ingame, on the far right of the screen, there should be a button that reads "Click to show that you are AFK" and when activated, you can use it to explain to others in very little detail that you cant respond/listen to them as you are "Away from Keyboard". Also, if your person doesn't talk/move for 5 minutes, also if the creator has not taken it out of the game, this will act like an alternative to the button*. If you start moving around, the charactor returnes back to it's origional state. This button cannot be used as a healing alternative, your health stays the same after you return as before you clicked it. * The creator of a place can change this if they believe it will cause unfairity throughout the game or be advantageous to other players; to change it they will need to toggle it on or off in the "Configure my place" underneath the thumbnail of the game. You can only use this button every 5 minutes after pressing the button, this doesn't mean that you can be AFK for only 5 minutes, but you cant activate the button twice in the time period. The different ideas to show it includes: 1) Your body turns semi-invisable and floats above the ground with text above your saying "Busy" 2) You turn into an egg the size of a nomal avatars head with Zzz coming out of it. 3) The ROBLOXian takes out a newspaper mesh and starts reading it. 4) The ROBLOXian starts to hover while meditating. --------- Thanks for the supports and ideas guys, keep it going, I will be updating the thread every now and then with ideas others and myself come up with. Thanks again, SlimyGreenZombie
