17. Now this is a bit of a "silly" one that arose out a discussion today whilst skulking about at 185m:
What if when use entered ".afk" the text buffer, you avatar was moved to lie in one of the bunks, and a message sent to all players on the boat. ".back" would reverse it to standing by the bunk. This would help players keep track of who is afk at any instant.
The sillier idea was to implement the "lavatory in use" lights (with suitable drawigns) from "das Boot" so that to go afk you went to the lavatory and close the door. In the control room, or outside the lavatory, someone's afk status would be indicated by said movement into the lavatory?
Like I said, a bit silly, but also an opportunity for levity and a way to help other players keep track of who is afk?
