/afk stopping/suspending trial time
I am aware that the anti-afk function is intended to ensure that the sub is not parking the AV and letting the timer count on - BUT: As it is now, the sub needs to fully log out every time s/he needs to follow an urgent call of nature (short visit of the bathroom) or fetch something to drink.
The purpose would be totally fulfilled when the time is suspended by an afk-function or command that keeps in mind that there are RL-humans behind the screens that occasionally need to do things, but of course not counting any announced afk-time.

i currently cannot continue this trial as a result of this anti afk system and the rapid frequency. i go to the bathroom and come back minutes later and i'm tagged. i can't make anything to eat, or i get tagged if my children call to talk, i get tagged, someone at the door, i get tagged. at least of the anti afk system was not in place or at least done differently to give the user more freedom to focus on RL ( you know, RL first) for the longer trials then it would be much better, otherwise for people like me, the last 2 trials will never be achievable and i'll focus on RL always first and not some silly anti afk question every 2 to 3 minutes.

Actually Idris, that is not correct. I have had numerous instances of focus questions arriving within two, yes 2 minutes of each other, with the shortest interval being one minute. So yes, a person cannot even get a coffee or go to the bathroom, without risking a question arriving.

this one thought of this as well and would second this request. i am often in world, but occasionally people will come to the door or a phone call will come that needs to be answered. i would think, as long as the afk time did not count to the accrual of time for training that there would not be a large issue here... just as it is now if something -does- come up i have to completely leave sl to take care of life instead of going "away". Yes there is often time between popups -if- you get caught right after one, but being that these are rl -interruptions- that isn't always timeable and this one -has- been pinged under penalty before because of having to take care of rl (when it was to urgent to log out of sl) and... personally... going potty or getting drinks or whatever between popups seems to defeat the whole purpose. i would rather my training time accurately reflect the time i have spent in world with the gags and would definitely use the option to pause time anytime i was not actively at my system, even for a few moments....

There is enough time if the wearer goes immediately after a check for short RL tasks. I don't recall the minimum, but enough for a bathroom break if ones doesn't dawdle.
