BRB mode

When people are AFK but still signed in, their character sits in the game like a zombie.

Let people type BRB or hit an AWAY button, and knock the alpha of their character down 50%.

As a bonus, you could auto-BRB people after 5 minutes of no activity.

This way, it's at least obvious they're not around.

• What would be awesome is if people who had been away for a little while, went all zen and crossed their legs and yogically flew up the screen a little with their eyes shut. Or it could be quite late and I may have lost my mind.

• This is coming! (Both explicit "away" commands and auto-detection of idleness.)
