So I was thinking of a suggestion that had to do with mice being AFK (A.K.A. Away From Keyboard)...

In most games I play, other than Transformice, there are AFK signs. AFK signs are signs near a person's username if they are away from keyboard doing something personal and etc. Anyways, Transformice doesn't have AFK signs, and it'd be really helpful if they did. So this is what I'm trying to explain to you about on this thread, hope you don't think it's too dumb :) .

^ Have to click, sorry for the inconvenience :( .


*Sorry, I forgot the little rectangular dark shaded bubble that surrounds the username and title. Hope you don't mind at all*

This image above ^ , shows what an AFK sign would look like on TFM (I will be using this abbreviation, it stands for Transformice for those who don't know).

How it Works:

-If a person has to go away from their computer to do personal things while their mouse is still logged on, their mouse will become AFK. After a few rounds (Or whatever you call it on TFM), possibly like about 10+, if your mouse hasn't moved or chatted for all that time an AFK sign will automatically pop up next to their username. This AFK sign will tell other mice that this mouse's player is away from keyboard. If you were on the forums, and not moving/chatting your mouse, your mouse will be referred to as AFK in about 10+ rounds. Once you move your mouse, or chat, the AFK sign will automaticially disappear.

-------------

This is How it Would Look Like on the Chat:



^ Have to click, sorry for the inconvenience :( .


-If you were conversing with somebody, like whispering for example, and had to do something and your mouse became AFK, it would look the image from above ^ . This is so the person you're conversing with knows you're not on yet, and will back in a few. After you move/chat, that AFK sign will also disappear on the chat.

-------------

How to Tell Others You're AFK Before 10+ Rounds Pass:

-If you want to tell the other mice you are AFK, you could just type in: /afk
This would make an AFK sign show up next to your username if you want other mice to know you're AFK and if you don't want 10+ rounds to pass until the AFK sign pops up.

-------------

Advantages:

-There are some advantages to this, if your mouse is considered AFK and a soul map pops up, your soul partner will NOT be one of the mice who are AFK. I can't think of any other advantages for this other than that (Because it has been really annoying for me getting stuck with an AFK soul partner). If there are other advantages I can think of, I'll try to edit the thread and post it on here.

*Anyways, I hope this is a good suggestion. I also hope that there is not a thread out there similar to this, because if there is I'm sorry I didn't know and I guess I would have to ask somebody to lock this thread because of having a very similar suggestion*

well for the afk soul thing there is a thread about that and I said the following about it:
/no support
If the mouse was "afk" for that one round didn't have a soul the next round (partner round)they could easily not be afk anymore and go to the cheese faster since partner maps mostly require racing, it would be easier for them to get the cheese.

/no support to this suggestion because most people will know if a mouse is afk, most mice that are afk don't move.
People who whisper and suddenly go afk say "brb" most of the time.

/support It helps especially for small rooms when people do not say brb.

I'm not suggesting you to lock it, this thread is very well organized and considering how much you typed, I would say you spent a lot of time it XD

I wouldn't say that's a lot, it took me 5 minutes because I had it all planned out. BUT THEN I ACCIDENTALLY ERASED IT WITHOUT COPING IT AND HAD TO WRITE THE WHOLE THING AGAIN FROM SCRATCH. But that was nothing ;-; .
