IDLE AFK 'DROP LINK' 'LINK DEAD' 'LINK DEATH'
There is no safe command to use to go idle (turn you attention away, walk away
from the keyboard, etc.) on Carrion Fields. If you choose to do so, it is at
your own risk and your character is subject to any deaths that happen in your
idle state. If a character sits in this idle state for too long, they will do
what's called 'voiding.' The character will be transferred to a "safe" room
called the void and the game will eventually disconnect the character. If any
commands are entered by the player while the character is voided, the
character will immediately return to the room they were in previously.

Ideally, when your time on Carrion Fields is over, you will always return to a
safe room and quit out normally. See help QUIT. However, we understand that
in some situations this is not possible and the player must drop link (kill
the connection) without quitting out normally. A player that has dropped link
is safe from new attacks within a few seconds of the drop (if currently
engaged in combat, the fight will continue until one side dies or flees
away.) If a player drops link immediately after or during a PK fight, where
there is the advantage of not finishing the fight, the immortals reserve the
right to slay the character to finish the fight. This is a necessary
consequence to maintaining our policy of not dropping link to avoid a death.
Since we have no way of verifying whatever real life emergency happened to
make you drop link, we have to treat all cases the same.

See HELP RULES.

I never dropped link after a fight. He was not even in the area.
There was nothing to avoid. Just boredom.

It was not like 5 imperials were raiding the village and the poor warrior alone at the destructor decided to drop link. It's not.
I insist, you are lame if you deleted because of it.
