I was in the infirmary with a few minutes of roundtime so I decided to go to the BBS to edit a file I put there (the timestamp of that edit is verifiable). While doing that, the healer started talking to me. A starvation message appeared on my screen, something like
appeared on my screen, to which I had a trigger set up to eat some wheatcakes.Your body screams at you to find something to eat. If you don't find some sort of sustenance soon, you're going to collapse!
The policy states that it is allowable to send a command like 'info' every 5 minutes. I clearly understand that it breaks the policy to be farming or working on skills or earning money or the like improvements to self. But I would be remiss if I did not comment that penalizing someone for having a trigger that enables meeting the most basic of survival needs (as stated above) has to be the harshest and most un-generous interpretation of any policy in this MUD or probably of any MUD I have played. I would like to appeal that this policy be amended to allow eating when the character is on the point of collapse from starvation as I was.
