    AFK freeze on pb

    AFK Freeze. Should we prohibit this due to the AFK manager? People have been complaining about this a lot lately and im on the fence about it. Is there a way to increase the time of the AFK manager?

    If people are getting moved to spectator because of 'AFK Freeze' then that means either the AFK timer needs to be increased by a lot more, or the CT is simply shit at his job by not giving any new orders shortly afterwards, resulting into people being moved to spectator because they had to wait too long. I'd say we go with the first option though, increasing the timer should solve the problem to this. @BoM @Dirk @Nuclear Onion

    I have seen rounds where a t rebels at the start and the AFK freeze is still in affect. I have gotten the AFK manager message a few times because they are killing a rebel or 2 depending on the map

    Dunno about this. If you cant even move your mouse for over 20-30 seconds, then it kills your vibe to play. You need to able to actually do something, or why even bother playing? Ct could give this command in critical rebelling sutations for instance but I don't see why this should last longer than 10 seconds.

    I don't know. But in my opinion it shouldn't be so frequently used.

    or we can use the afk freeze order where they have to look at something.

    For example, "one step out, face the back of the cell, afk freeze", which we can let the ct know that they can look at the back wall while moving their mouse without looking at somewhere else.

    I've played quite frequently on PB recently and it really kills your vibe when CT(Guards) tell Ts(Prisoners) to AFK Freeze for whole round, just because couple folks rebelled.

    In my honest opinion it would be reasonable to be used only at start of a round for a quick check if anyone is carrying "contraband" within a reasonable time.
    Second, be allowed to move your mouse/take couple steps sideways so AFK Timer doesn't move you to spectate because we lose also players because of this issue.

    Actually AFK Freeze(long time)=Free killing, cuz there is a plugin called AFK Manager which would kill you and move you to spectator if you don't move for a period of time. I've told the CTs couple of times that Ts cannot do such thing like AFK Freeze and it turned out that they didn't listen to me.
