On the other mud, I have a skill I use in fights. I can type in this skill about 4 times in a fight and I won't have any lag or very little. With or without the lag, I still can use this move once per combat round, even if I type them all really fast before the fight really starts. With Carrionfields, I can type in three wheel kicks and it will pause. It will then pause before and after each wheel kick. It also pauses during autosaves or changes in the setting that occur during a fight. Anyway, if I type in these three wheel kicks and, lets say I'm following someone, the monster is killed by my first one. The person I'm following might start wandering around. Randomly, my second wheel kick will go off (though it won't do anything). The person I'm following then might try to kill something. In this new battle, my final wheel kick takes effect. This only seems to happen when I follow someone, especially when they move around really fast.When I'm by myself, I can't believe how fast they can move, since it takes a second or two for the new text to come up.
