Oh yeah?! Well, I give you the finger for making a combat system that
requires that! ;)
Seriously, if your combat system requires that many commands of that length
and complexity to be typed in that short a time, it's pretty badly broken.
You have designed a combat system that it is humanly impossible to use
effectively. Your MUD is designed to be played by machines. Not people.
