Henceforth, there shall be a restraining order between the parties of: the acronym "AFK" and the various synonyms of the word "Cloak".

These two distinct and separate words are not to be used within 3 words of each other, as they are too often associated together in a negative connotation.

Should anyone from this day forth use "AFK" too closely followed by "Cloak(er/s)" they will be assessed a 1mil ISK fee.


If players have a problem with Cloaks, first realize they are the proper game mechanic to counter Probes. The ability to hide is not a problem, it is a valid tactic.

If players have a problem with other players being (A)way (F)rom their (K)eyboards, perhaps because those unattended computers will gain sentience and kill someone... said paranoid care bears need to embrace the spirit of Eve Online, coming to realize the only safe place is while docked in a station.

There are far too many threads attempting to complain about players Cloaking somewhere and then going AFK for hours. While there is a strange face staring at you in Local, that does not mean you are physically prevented from acting in the game.

So quit your crying, and play the game! And stop making new threads! Each has 200 responses, and less than 10 votes of support. This should say something about the public opinion.
