I've been kicked a lot of time because I was pausing more than 5 mins (going to eat or something) so I suggest that on LW's could be command /afk, so when I'm going somewhere on shorter period of time (about 10 mins) I just write /afk... This command could be used only in bank and ammunation... ;)
What you think about?

There are already ways to leave your game on without getting kicked.
No actual need for a command like this, but it could make things easier for other people.
-
I don't see the harm of an /pause command, but it has to be abuse-free and only available in certain areas. ;)
-
just like S3rs said... :P
-
Since when are you kicked when pausing in bank?
Also, /pause or /afk could be useful, but mainly aren't nesecary.
-

Just pause in bank or Ammu and you won't be kicked, so no need for a /afk command.
-
ya...As much I know...is that u wont get kicked 4 pausing in bank or ammu!
And ya...I got better idea! Why dont u make...like more time 2 be on pause! :P
I mean...that 5 mins...make it like 10 or 15!
Think of all those who get kicked 4 going 2 toilet!
Or nubz who dont rly understand why they are kicked! ;: )

^, however make sure your not blocking the red marker or the entrance
-
what he said! :P +1

Yea, some ( Dumb ) pieces of shit walk into the big red marker and pause there.
That's annoying, players should get kicked for pausing in the red marker, just like @ the pirate ship.
Because of them some other players might get stuck while doing there business.
That is real annoying.
They don't understand that you don't have to use the menu for pause.
Also could stand in a corner and use anim.....
but thats why this /pause /afk thing would be a good thing...for those n00bs who always walk in those markers...and for those new players who don't understand anything at first anyway.
the 10 minute pause thing would also be a good change.
It gives (new)people more time to take a break, take a nice warm shit withouth having to hurry.( when they don't know about the ammunation/bank method)
So when (new) people come back from taking their shit, there game is still on, which would make them stick on the server way easier then when they suddenly got kicked out and don't come back.
5 minutes extra.... can't really be abused, when people pause to evade death or something.

bullshit

I rather see no timelimit at all. This was once usefull when the server was constantly full, but right now the server lacks population. Like I suggested before, when there is no timelimit, nobody gets kicked for taking a break. It happens a lot that I see 5+ players that are paused, they all get kicked and server gets empty, which scares away potential new players because the server looks empty. It's a fact that 30 players looks better then 25, even if 5 of the 30 are paused.
Well some of them won't get kicked because they're in a bank doing the animation thing, but still I see a lot of players get kicked because they're idle for 5 minutes.
-
Nice 1 beef! Id give u +5 now but I cant! :P
and Ricki...easy man! ;: )
-
Isn't necessary , -1.
-
And Roach! 4 nubz...thats rly bad idea! thats just another tutorial they have 2 understand! and find it 1st ...btw. ;: )
-
Whats the point of it just go to a bank or ammu, there are plenty around.
-
My opinion would be better if jumping enter an order type / afk or / pause since an abuse to make it ... how hard is to go into a bank or ammu if you want to go 10 minutes at the table? ...
-
Only 'problem' I experience with going afk in a bank is that when I alt tab back my screen is bugged most of the times.

I have the same 'problem' , but not always.
-
I think it doesn't happen when ESCing before..
-
Lol just leave pc and go eat. And leave your person somewhere at bank but not red marker. And you Won't be kicked... So /afk not necessary.
-

Same... xD and I suggest that cuz most of people are annoying when they are in red marker and pausing cuz than I'm in this player which's pausing and can't go out of him... >:(

If you have props than you lost props and money... >:(
-
What about /Afk
Then when someon says Sadik or something it says Note: Sadik Has been away for keyboard for the last .. minute.
But it only sends to whoever says the name so it wont spam and it wont tell everyone.
-
agree with Sadik.. ;)
-
go to bank or ammu and use an animation ::)
-
I'm sorry to say, but this is the dumbest fucking idea I have ever heard, period.
-
Well, This is not a dumb fucking idea, because alot of (new) players get kicked out of the server while they were just about to come back from whatever they were doing.
Alot of these players don't know nothing about standing in or out the marker, using anims, or whatever.
Results...they get kicked,lose their items if they dont come back in time & don't bother coming back,the server looks more empty, less potential players to logon the little whitey party.
So decent commands or infomation about pausing, woudn't be such a (dumb fucking) idea.

I agree with this, but maybe the solution would be the LWBot warning about the pause time limit and telling the players to pause inside banks and Ammu's, or as masterbeef said, just removing that time limit...
-
agree with the champ, why isn't this topic locked already?

I guess you and champ are pretty dumb people.
Saying this is a dumb idea, without any arguments saying why it is a dumb idea.
I don't know about VC but on SA there are not that many players on the server.
and this idea just might help making the server a little more comfortable for players, and add a few extra players on the server.

.....

Explain to me how adding an /afk command would gain lw's players?
If its not in the rules already adding "pausing is only allowed in banks and ammu nation" would be enough

+1 for that! ;: )

Read the entire topic, all the posts and you will see it is not only about the /afk command.
Maybe a new topic should be made to make it easier.
An /afk command would be as easy as /taichi inside the bank...
So the command itself isnt that necessairy.
It should be explained to people how they can pause, without getting kicked within 5 minutes from the server.
Some pausers who get kicked just don't bother to come back.
And even when they come back they can sometimes create a lower amount of players on the server list.
A lower amount of players probably attracts less other players.
So when this explained properly to (new) players, there would be more people in the server.
And as suggested before by masterbeef, you also could remove the entire time limit.
I don't see a real disadvantage to that.

I'll show you a disadvantage. Imagine a guy that have bought all the properties and paused the game for 5 hours. He would have billions on him and ppl wouldn't even be able to loc him. For some ppl it might be really annoying and make them leave.
15 minuts pause, no more.

Well, If you like I will jump in the game right now, buy all the properties, and pause for 5 hours.
Unless people will buy my properties(which is possible when i am on pause :P duhh)
I will have loads of cash.
So that part is possible right now anyway... with using /taichi ;)

I don't like it anyway :P

I'll think there should at least a chance be given for small changes.
If it doesn't work out the pause thing can be changed back in to the previous state.

That may sound good, but every change done to the game mode can cause bugs, unless it's a feature worth taking the time to test out the possible inconsistencies in the mode, then it's not needed for the developers to waste their time.
-
Some ppls will abuse with this cmmds i guess.
-
It could be used just in ammu or bank... ;)
-
hmm...idk
-

But then again, you can just pause there without being kicked, so why do you need a command?
-
You can already pause in any area where the weapons are disabled (bank and ammunation) therefore a command would be redundant. Pausing is not wanted from a technical standpoint as it can bug the script and it can bug SA:MP.
