take the hypothetical fight between two hypothetical characters, john and doe.
Say john hypothetically knocks out the hypothetical doe, and hypothetical doe is forced to log out, then gets really angry, goes back to the hypothetical crime scene, from which he can fill up a cart with scents and return to numerous times. Then he hypothetically finds john's hypothetical hearth fire and summons him many times to hypothetically murder him while offline.
:afk will afk your character, even if he is fighting.
* No john does were harmed in the making of this hypothetical scenario.
