Seems like potential stress for the admins like Erev pointed out.
Other than that sure - I mean you could also brick the internet connection that BYOND is allowed to build on Windows or probably also Linux. Making yourself unable to connect to any server.
I mean you can, but then you can just reinstall. I think it should have a check, and you shouldn't be able to undo it. Also why I limited it to 72 hours.
I just think for a game that can sometimes be stressful like that some positive mental health tools would go a long way.
IMO it could only be a positive for the community if people use it because people aren't playing when pissed off and are getting a valuable tool to step back and cool off, even if they just set it for one hour that can be the difference between being rude to someone who didn't deserve it, feeling bad (and making the problem worse), or just coming back a bit more relaxed. Even just the act of taking that step back would put people coming back in a better frame of mind.
Also, as it was pointed out, might be handy for students and other scenarios. It was just something I was thinking about cause I've taken a step out of the game right now, and all online games til I get my blood sugar issues balanced and the stress lets off a bit. Having people have tools to do that just seems like a good thing, and promotes positive mental health. :-)
Also oops! sorry I posted this in the wrong spot, I had done it as I woke up :p
