I liked to have the AFK saying match my toon.
So imagine what you might want your character to say when you have to visit the plumbing.

My boardsword scrapper would say, "I have to go sharpen my sword, be right back."

Paragon Avenger · « **Reply #2 on:** September 19, 2015, 08:54:09 PM »

A character I had named the Paragon Comptroller would say, "I have to go dispose of some liquid assets".

Or more crass:

When I was playing my big, manly, huge tank I would sometimes write: "AFK for a bit - need to go tinkle"

Inc42 · « **Reply #26 on:** November 19, 2015, 10:43:00 PM »

Funny story along these lines:

I had never heard the term "bio break" before CoH. CoH was my first MMO or online multiplayer game at all. So I knew a lot of people in my first SG prided themselves on having good character stories and always enjoyed reading their character's biographies, so I assumed people would mid mission randomly get ideas and say "bio break", stop, and add more to the story in their bios.

I, who wanted to be a writer at the time, felt like I was monumentally failing compared to everyone else, so I started doing what I thought they were, stopping mid mission and working on the biography for a bit while the rest of the team went on without me, only for a couple minutes at a time.

It wasn't until someone asked why I kept saying "Okay, done with bio, just going to go to the bathroom real quick and I'll catch up." that I found out I had been very mistaken.

I appear to have sprung a leak. Be right back after the water works stop.

Drauger9 · « **Reply #34 on:** December 02, 2015, 04:29:03 PM »

I don't know if this will be against the posting rules. So I'll be careful. When my parents had their Jackrussel. I'd have to walk him threw out the night. So while I was teaming I'd type "brb got to walk the dog."

Well a few time I'd have a type-o from being half asleep and I'd type "brb got to walk the do&g." Just put an N where the & is

.

Needless to say, I'd come back to everyone typing. "I just can't stop laughing...." in chat. LOL!
