Cit does some pretty good howl detection. Haven't looked at the code overmuch to see exactly what it's doing, though.

"If it makes you feel better, just checking your artifact list threatens to crash my mudlet."
The same is true for curing. You have to be careful with herbs of course, because if you miscalculate and eat too early, the balance is reset. (Salves you can just spam. Woo).
Whatever your limiter/failsafe or whatever you call it in your system is (usually something a bit higher than your latency. 0.25-0.75s is common), change it in retardation mode to be:
herb balance + latency + a tiny bit extra to make sure you don't eat too early.
If your balance handling is simple, then you'll send the command to cure paralysis, and ~2 seconds later send the command to eat bayberry (or whatever the affs and your cure order are).
If you track balances with GMCP, or you have certain kinds of anti-illusion in your system, then it can be a boatload more difficult. I've tried to coax Tripwire into believing my manual balance resets for both retardation and blackout modes, but GMCP keep overriding me.
Well, what you could do is set a timer on the config message, or create some kind of event for indicating when you lose balance/eq, and the amount of time you have until you get it back.
Then, you do, as a rough example I coded while writing this post:
local baltime = matches[2]
retarded_baltime = tonumber(baltime - 1.3)
system.timers.retarded_balance = tempTimer(retarded_baltime, [[system.balances.sync = true;offense()]])
And then as an added security, on your bal or eq check in whatever script you use, you can do:
return not
system.balances.balance or system.timers.retarded_balance
etc etc, so that it'll let you send even if you DON'T have balance, BUT system.timers.retarded_balance isn't open. This would be a lot easier nested into its own check, like, if systems.tracking.retarded then (retardation-specific check and handling).
If that makes ANY sense at all.

Putting a useless command at the beginning seemed to make the subsequent commands go through close to one another - i.e. the biggest gap between commands seemed to be between the first and second commands sent, or something like that anyway. It was a while ago now.
I created a mutter-decoding script just so I could go punish him for the spam, but zmud couldn't run it
