So there seems to be some sort of timer on being able to use SLIP on an item after it hits the ground. That makes sense (to prevent griefing), the buggy part is that there is no message to the slipper* that this is what is happening. In fact there is no feedback whatsoever

get rock

What were you referring to?

>

for rock

With incredibly nimble fingers and the knowledge of the wilds, you find the absolute best rock amongst the rest.

Roundtime: 4 sec.

R>

drop rock

...wait 1 seconds.

R>

drop rock

You drop a rock.

>

hid

You melt into the background, convinced that your attempt to hide went unobserved.

Roundtime: 2 sec.

H>

l rock

You see nothing unusual.

H>

slip ropck (example of feedback from a SLIP command... yea that's it, it's not me fat-fingering at all)

Slip how? Type SLIP HELP for instructions.

A good positive attitude never hurts.

>I know I've seen a message where it says something along the lines of
>"Someone is keeping too close of an eye on that item" when I tried to slip something under that timer before.

Yes, I've seen this message also. Which is why this particular situation is quite confusing.

>Not sure what the difference in this scenario is.. something to do with rocks or rocks in that particular room (or a rock in your inventory), the fact that you were hiding (I was usually in the open when I tried it)

I used a rock for reference but I first noticed the bug with my own throwing axe and arrows and such. There were no other rocks in the room or in my inventory and the TAP action shows which one I'm targeting with SLIP.

>The fact that you dropped the rock yourself shouldn't trigger that protection I wouldn't think.

Either way I just want it to message or acknowledge I sent a command. Then I can complain that I shouldn't triggering "slip protection" on my own items, heh,

I used that as an example to show that SLIP does give error feedback when you misspell something, but does not give error feedback when you try to SLIP something that is under a "no slip b/c you just dropped it" cool down. I then proceeded to spam SLIP ROCK (correct spelling) but got no feedback from the game. The YES was also to show that I was capable of receiving feedback.
