Odd weave length

Post by Fleur » Sun Aug 16, 2020 11:04 pm

Can anyone figure out what happened here? I don't think it can be lag, because the command had already gone through and started, and shows it started the same pulse as hers did, but was ahead in the command order. So how could it get broken?

* R HP:Battered SP:Fading MV:Full > south

Dense Woodland
[ obvious exits: N S ]
A gray palfrey prances skittishly nearby, being ridden by you.
Morella Byrne is standing here, riding a warhorse.
Morella is surrounded by a shimmering white aura!
A cute brown deer eyes you nervously.
An ancient, gnarled tree looms over you.
You swiftly dodge Morella's attempt to strike you.

* R HP:Battered SP:Fading MV:Full - Morella: Battered > You begin to weave the appropriate flows...
You sense Morella is channeling saidar.

You gasp in pain as streaks of fire from Morella burn your body!

Ouch! You couldn't maintain the flows. <<<< Late and not even PONR

* R HP:Beaten SP:Fading MV:Full - Morella: Battered > You begin to weave the appropriate flows...
You sense Morella is channeling saidar.

You panic and attempt to flee!


You flee head over heels.

probably the same thing as bash timing: if you start at the exact same pulse, the mud will register the person who logged in first of the two, as the first one to land.

Looks weird but I'm pretty sure that was probably a bit laggy on your end, prompting the mud to start your weave message before the timer started to roll for you.

There is a slight pulse difference between hers and yours. its very slight. if you discard lag. Then odds are that you stacking from another room and entering hers lets hers be a pulse faster than yours. Ive seen mcs use this a few times and in sparring.
Personally i think the first person in the room gets a slight priority over the person entering. I am not 100 percent on this.
