13.7.8 Achaea's server-side curing

Achaea's combat system offers an unprecedented level of depth, providing multiple layers of afflictions and ailments. While this makes it enjoyable, it can also make it difficult to get started in. 

To aide in this endeavour, we provide a server-side system to aide in the curing of these ailments. This should allow all adventurers to partake in player-vs-player combat at all levels.

The following commands are available with the system:

defences active.

Manual manipulation
-------------------
Situations can change in the blink of an eye, and there may be times when you
wish to force a command to take precedence over any other curing priority. To
do this, simply add it to the queue, and it will be done before any other
scheduled commands.

CURING QUEUE ADD <cure>
   - Add a manual cure into the queue.

CURING QUEUE LIST
   - List what is in your queue.

CURING QUEUE INSERT <1-20> <cure>
   - Insert a manual cure in a specific place.

CURING QUEUE REMOVE <cure>
   - Remove a cure from the queue.

CURING QUEUE RESET
   - Reset the queue.

CURING PREDICT <affliction>
   - Tell the system that you think you have an affliction.

CURING UNPREDICT <affliction>
   - Remove a predicted affliction.

CURING PREDICTIONS
   - List predicted afflictions.

CURING BATCH ON|OFF
   - Attempt to send multiple cures at once where possible.

CURING HEALTHAFFSABOVE <value>
   - Set the health threshold above which you will apply health elixir for curing.

CURING PRIOAFF <affliction>
   - Temporarily prioritise an affliction until said affliction is cured.

CURING PRIOAFF NONE
   - Remove a temporarily prioritised affliction.


About the system and latency
----------------------------
The system is designed to cure your afflictions at a rate that simulates
average latency, so the time it would have normally taken for Achaea to send
the message to your computer and back to the game. This means:

Most people will see no noticeable difference in curing efficiency using server-side or client-side... it's a matter of preference, much like which internet browser to use.

For people with very high latency (if you are on dial-up internet, for instance), using Achaea's server-side curing may be much faster than using a third-party client.

For someone with extremely low latency (if you are located in Chicago near the IRE servers with fiber-optic service) you might be able to cure yourself a fraction of a second faster with a local system.
