Going AFK mid-conversation

The person falling over was witnessed by another as they fainted so I ran with the body. Chase ensued which I was enjoying and, in the end, I was able to escape with the body and absorbed them. After this I get a hivemind message of 'I was AFK. I thought this was RP.' Not once did this person state they were going AFK. We're not talking someone standing in a corner with the SSD tag in the examine, but someone who had been talking and moving moments before.

Now, the question is.. should it be up to the Antag to know the person is AFK or should the other person STATE they are going AFK?

It just leaves a bad taste in my mouth because what's stopping someone from just pushing their keyboard away the moment something happens and saying 'Dude! I was afk!' the moment it's over.

as the other person mentioned this is something that should be ahelped, but its worth noting, antags are allowed to antagonise afk people and are immune to most of the rules dealing with afk people, you didnt do anything wrong and there was no easy way for you to tell they were afk anyway if you were expressing curtesy. The antag who had their round ended early may get an antagonist token (or maybe even an effective respawn if an admin was present during the round), such is the purpose of these tools.
