I'm having a little trouble figuring what to improve next in terms of curing in choke. I'm hoping for some honest feedback on what to change in my system to make things a little smoother. At the moment, I have a separate mode for choke that is supposed to try sending a command each second. The afflictions my choke mode cures isn't that extensive, pretty much includes things that you'd usually see in choke. All my aliases go through a pre-send filter that, when I'm choked, don't send the command but instead store it in a "next action" variable which will send on the next tic of my timer (unless there's a higher priority affliction that needs curing first).
Here's a log of me getting owned in choke (I have lots of them
).
A few of problems that I see right off the bat:
1. Usually, I have 5 chervil, earwort, and marjoram outrifted beforehand, but I kind of got surprised in this one, so I missed out on eating things (chervil in this case) and don't yet have a check for having outrifted.
2. Actions aren't being sent every second all the time, had a bit of time at the start (3 or 4 seconds) where I wasn't doing anything.
3. Ended up missing quite a few actions due to stun... is there any way around this? I'd rather send things during the stun and chance the stun ending in the second delay. The afflictions and such shouldn't clear unless the cure actually worked.
4. Waking up after choke was cured sent through a whole bunch of insomnia commands that dropped me 1000 mana or so, leading to the toad. I'll need to add some kind of gimmick to stop that happening.
Any suggestions are appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Tumble. And then tumble some more. Groups are nasty with Choke, but tumbling can at least proc it off of you.
I did successfully tumble twice in there, and did mange to lift choke on the second, although I got double-teamed by the pixies before the tumble finished, so I was asleep when it happened.

Can't really find where the delay in the timer tics is in that log, your prompt timer hurts my eyes looking at it. And it's hard to figure what the problem could be without knowing the actual code. You mentioned a timer tic, so is it something that fires every second off of constant timer?
The timer is ticing (at least) every time you see a line like this:
CODE
* * * CHOKE >>> Bleeding
It's supposed to be going every second, but if you watch the time on the prompt (that's the real eyesore of a long number), you'll see that for some reason it isn't ticking every second after all. I'm having a look at the code now, but it's honestly too messy to post here.
But you've got the idea, I have a timer to go every second, and every time the timer goes, it checks a queue of common afflictions, plus the "next action" variable to decide what to do. I suspect the times that it doesn't appear in the log it just hasn't found anything to do, which is easy enough to fix - I'll just set a default action to swing at whoever choked me
But I guess the question is - is this a viable way to handle choke curing? What do other people use? Is it really supposed to be impossible/intractable to cure two people while afflicted by a 3-power (+ a shadow) skill?

Two fae in choke is hard enough to cure, let alone having two people beating on you. They could sleeplock you really easily, or even just keep using vines. The basic point of wiccan combat is to stick Aeon; choke makes that ludicrously easy, and there is zero drawback, really, if it's 2v1.

Don't think making it send the swing itself is such a great idea, I have mine flash a big warning that I can attack now when it finds nothing to do. And yes, 2v1 you really can't do anything but tumble the Nil out of there.
@Solanis+Romerien: I'm not really looking for strategies to win or escape. The question is more about how better to deal with curing in choke.
Does that mean you trigger all possible lines where you are doing something to give back your choke balance? Or is it mostly something that you just manual? If you are manual, do you find you can still get through enough commands to be effective in a delay (assume a 1v1 fight)?
I usually have this in logs. Like I said, I got a bit surprised here and wasn't logging. This was just copy/paste from my buffer.
Bleeding's not particularly high priority, and it's not trying to clot, it's trying to eat chervil. That's why the "what is it you wish to eat?" shows up after those, because it wants chervil but I hadn't outrifted. I'm adding out a check for outrifting. Bleeding builds really fast in choke, I agree, faster than clotting will help with. But if you just ignore it, you have to run really fast or die to the redcaps. See how quickly two redcaps got me to 600+ bleeding?
The context was: Alacardael was doing his daily kick-and-run exercises in Etherwilde, and I had chased him into Faethorn (This is why I wasn't logging - because if I logged every time there was a kick-n-run, my harddrive would be full ). He'd just gotten back to the Glom arch and I was heading to leave when wham! I walk into a room and am immediately choked, then Krellan vines and the log shows the result. I think Kolm? was also in Faethorn near the start of the fight, but we weren't together. I'm also Stag, not Moon, so don't have a cheap prismatic. I could have serpented and then tumbled, I guess, but there was no chance at waiting for reinforcements to kill the choker. There never is

For my system, I only use a choke timer as a failsafe. Most of the time I know when to send the next command by noticing when the previous command went through. I treat choke as just another balance to wait for. I lose the balance when I send a command, I regain the balance when the command is executed.

One thing that might help is configuring your logging to include the commands sent to the MUD. We can see your echoes when your choke curing kicks in, but seeing exactly what is sent to the mud is helpful to track down any rogue things that could be firing and tripping up your curing.

You should also look at where in your curing priority clot is. A single clot isn't going to make a huge difference to how things turn out. You could probably keep up clotting every second, but then you'd be unable to do anything else. I typically ignore bleeding in choke (aside from echoes to tell me how bad it is) so that I can focus on curing other affs and escaping.

I'm not sure what the context of the fight was but if you were expecting to fight chokers in a group, I'd have an exit strategy in place. You could have spores ready to snort if bonds isn't up or you could have an icewall up to tumble behind to slow their persuit and hopefully break choke. I didn't see any other Serens in your log, but if you're fighting with others, a good strategy is to put up a prismatic barrier and wait for your side to kill the choker. I used to do this with mantra prism, and I'm fairly sure you could with moon full.
