			==Lag==
			Often you will find yourself unable to input commands, or find that they
			take some time to process. While occasionally this may be the result of
			normal internet 'lag', you can also become dazed or delayed as a result of
			in-game actions which will produce similar results. The use of most skills
			will leave you unable to act for a number of seconds afterwards, and there
			are certain types of attacks which can be inflicted upon you by others which
			have the same effect. Oftentimes, these are the most common and devastating
			types of attacks in combat, as they prevent your opponent (or yourself, if
			you happen to be on the receiving end) from fleeing, or otherwise performing
			combat-related actions. [[Trip]] and [[bash]] are the most common types of these
			attacks.

			When you are dazed or otherwise delayed, any commands you input will be
			queued by the MUD, and will process once you have become free to act again.
			The only exception to this is the 'clear' command, which is specifically
			used to clear your command queue (so you may, for example, clear the '[[kick]]'
			action you have enqueued when you realize you need to try to 'flee' as soon
			as possible).

			Note that, at the moment, non-players (mobiles) suffer no debilitating
			effects from being dazed, and skills such as trip and bash are not very
			useful against them.
