I'm not super active in the Trial System,  but from what I've seen, it looks like the afk people tend to screw over the team in the long run due to being unable to have enough votes to put a person on trial. Like if you're a Town member and you go afk, especially in a Ranked/Ranked Practice game - you being alive and afk makes it so the Townies cannot confirm what role you are and the Town is less likely to be able to get enough votes to put an evil person on trial. A Vigilante or Jailor might waste an execution on the silent afk person. If you're Mafia and you're afk, your Mafia could potentially bus you to make themselves look like Townies. But if the afk person is a killing role, that can really screw over the Mafia.
