I can just hear the whines of people getting shot down who tried to use a button like this as an excuse not to fight or from the bombers who just wanted to reach 25k.

I mean come on man, that is just one stupid idea  :lol :rolleyes:

If I have to poo, I will up bombers, when I finish my "run" upstairs, I normally have alot of alt for the bombdrop. If I have a hanger, Ill go take care of it on the flight back.

Well go AFK but don't whine if you get shot down while your gone. It's only a game, is one more death really going to depress you that much ??

During the Longbow (aka Longbutt) series scenario of AirWarrior, many guys used a some kind of bucket/bottle next to their computer. That scenario was the longest running event I've ever seen...

We don't need an AFK flag, we just need bigger bladders (or less coffee/beer).

If that's what AFK means, then I should just paint that on my plane.

I remember that! Was a blast. First and only time there was ever a need to load 100% gas in B17...running battle for2-3 hours

(edit: Am I the only one whose noticed certain consistencies in folks with 'ace' in their cpids? :P)

As far as an "afk" button. I think we have enough gamey devices already, no thanks. I can just see it as being used as a crutch for the fragile egos out there, I agree with Kazaa, thats exactly how it would be used.   

Its a game, if you get zapped while being afk, have a laugh and move on, and stop taking at all so seriously.

This is not some boxed game that you can pause.

This is a real time, online, massive multiplayer.

No pausing.

If you have to walk away, hit alt F4 and don't worry about it.

BATFINK ! ! ! !  that is just tool cool, most of the players would have just shot him down and he wouldn't even know who, you on the other hand gave him the "PLEASURE" of the heart attack before you shot him down and he gets to know who did it.   ROTFLMAO

Yep, what he said.  Wear Depends™ or Space Diapers. 
I had a colostomy bag installed for the long bomber missions.
