AFK Script Checks
From DRSecrets
- Disclaimer If you run a script in DR Prime or Plat and are not paying attention to the screen, you ARE AFK scripting. It doesn't matter whether you are just sitting at your computer reading the message boards or watching TV. Likewise, you cannot get up to use the bathroom or make a quick sandwich while running a script. That being said, we realize that there can be a lot of scroll that could make it difficult to realize when you're being checked.
There are a few pre-written GM script checks, but they also have the ability to write their own checks. Basically, what you have to look for is a random message that has nothing to do with anything going on around you. For example, "You have an itch, maybe you should scratch it." If you don't respond, you will receive the message a few more times. It will become increasingly obvious that a specific response is required. At the end of the script check, the GM often includes a time period that you must reply by. If you fail to answer, you will be sent to scripter's limbo and receive a penalty:
First Scripting Warning: Slap on the wrist; must explicitly re-agree to follow the Policy regarding gain while unresponsive to the game.
Second Scripting Warning: 10% off all skills, 1 point off all stats.
Third Scripting Warning: 25% off all skills, 2 points off all stats.
Fourth Scripting Warning: 40% off all skills, 3 points off all stats.
Here are some of the Script checks that people have seen, just so you know what to look for.

Tiny Mouse
A tiny mouse scampers into the room and stops when it sees you. Cautiously it approaches you and taps on your leg. "What you doing?" he squeaks, then sits down and stares up at you, waiting for a reply.
The tiny mouse taps on your leg again. "Hey, you up there! What you doing?" he squeaks, waiting for a reply.
The tiny mouse taps on your leg again. "Hey, you! What you doing? Are you ignoring me?!" he squeaks, waiting for a reply.
The tiny mouse taps on your leg again. "Hey, you! Didn't your mother teach you manners?! What you doing? Are you ignoring me?!" he squeaks, waiting for a reply.
The tiny mouse taps on your leg again. "Hey, up there! You better talk to me! What you doing? Are you ignoring me?! Come ON! Talk to me!!!" he squeaks, waiting for a reply. YOU HAVE 60 SECONDS TO ANSWER THE MOUSE.
Helpful Paladin
A young Paladin walks up to you and says, "You seem to be lost. Do you require help?"
The helpful Paladin continues to follow you asking once more, "You seem to be lost. Do you require help?"
The Paladin continued to follow me around, asking the same two questions over and over again. At first I thought this was one of those "helpful" NPCs (like the ones in the Crossing Temple), but I found out that it was a GM when I finally said "No," to the Paladin.
Old Crone
An old crone appears in the distance.
The crone glances in your direction and begins moving slowly toward you.
The crone draws near.
A cackle echoes around you, not quite seeming to have come from the crone.
Moving in and out of the shadows, almost as if surrounded by shifting shadows of her own making, the crone appears to study you.
The crone suddenly whispers from behind you -- "what're ye doin here?!"
The crone screeches eerily. "Ye dinna wanna answer me?"
The crone -- or someone -- cackles again. "Ye slow-witted, or jes rude? What're ye doin here?"
The crone giggles -- GIGGLES! -- maniacally. "Ohh, I likes it when they ignores me," she says to no one in particular.
"Ye gots a god?" A long pause. "I asks, ye gots a god?"
"Oh, how delicious," the crone shrieks. "I canna wait to see ye writhin on the floor and beggin yer god to save ye. Iffen ye gots one." Another pause. "Do ye? Gots one, I mean."
"Okay, ye have about 3 minutes here to tell me who be yer god. Iffen ye don't, ye can go meet 'im." The crone shrugs, her face creasing into what appears to be a toothless smile.
The crone begins chanting, "name yer god, name yer god, name yer god ..." punctuating her requests with an assortment of cackles and guffaws.
"Name yer god ..." the crone cackles. "Name yer god ..." the crone laughs, a bit of drool running down her chin.
"Name yer god ..." the shadows shift and, from a different direction, you hear again, "come on, name yer god!"
The crone says, "You came close to getting in trouble. Be careful next time." The crone hobbles off.

A strange flash of pink light can be seen briefly from below.
The pink ball of light floats closer to you, small tendrils escaping from its center to form eight spindly pink legs.
The eight-legged pink ball of light floats closer to you. You realize to your horror that it is in fact a glowing pink spider!
The glowing pink spider alights on your shoulder! This would be a good time to brush it off, before things get any worse.
The glowing pink spider begins to creep slowly up towards your face. Who knows what will happen if it reaches your mouth or ears? You'd better BRUSH that spider away, now!
The glowing pink spider reaches your slack-jawed open mouth! This is your last chance to brush it off! Do it now!
The glowing pink spider slowly climbs into your mouth, feeling quite odd. You blink as it disappears down your throat. Great, now not only have you been busted for AFK scripting, but you've eaten a spider, too.
Large Hairy Spider
A bit of debris laying unnoticed on the ground suddenly shifts, and you notice an unnaturally large, hairy spider crawl out of a hidden hole.
A large, hairy spider is uncomfortably close to your foot. You must SCREAM to scare it away!
A large hairy spider stretches its many legs and looks around at its new surroundings. Spying you nearby, it quickly covers the distance across the ground and skitters up your body to perch on your shoulder! You want to SCREAM!
A large, hairy spider is perched on your shoulder. You must SCREAM to scare it away!
Filthy Monkey
A small filthy monkey scrambles into the area.
The filthy monkey wraps himself tightly around your leg. You definately don't want a nasty monkey wrapped around your leg. Maybe you should SCREAM to scare him off.
The filthy monkey still clings tightly to your leg. You really should SCREAM to scare him off!
The monkey points at you and laughs before running off. You've just been busted for AFK experience gain. Hope it was worth it.
