Here's the text in question...

civilized <836/836hp 585/585m 752/752mv 5 AM>
Bakrmarr has arrived.
A hellish fire elemental has arrived.

civilized <836/836hp 585/585m 752/752mv 8 AM>
You yell 'Die, Bakrmarr, you sorcerous dog!'
Bakrmarr utters the words, 'grzzs'.
A wave of fatigue overwhelms you with the beckoning temptation of sleep.

The prompt AFTER he walks in marks the time when he walked in, not the prompt prior to his entrance.

- The first prompt is at 5 AM. This is where the victim loses his connection.
- The game ticks to 6 AM, but you don't get a new prompt on a tick. You would get an updated prompt is something happened like stone skin went down or the weather changed. But nothing happened except that the mud ticked, so nothing is sent to the client. Therefore, he can sit there and stare at the prompt that says 5 AM, but it's really 6 AM.
- Another tick happens. Same thing...nothing updates his prompt. No one walks by, sends him a tell, etc.
- Yet another tick happens. It's now 8 AM, but his screen has not been updated since 5 AM, so to him it looks like it's 5 AM.
- Suddenly Bakrmarr walks in the room. This message (any message) causes an updated prompt to be sent to the client. Three ticks have passed and it's 8 AM, so that's the prompt he gets immediately when Bakrmarr enters the room.
- Bakrmarr immediately sleeps him as the prompt sent after the spell is still 8 AM.

You can try this yourself. Go somewhere remote and don't enter any commands. Chances are when a spell falls or you get hungry, if more than one tick has happened, the new prompt will be more than +1 hour after the one you've been staring at for 5 minutes. That doesn't mean you got hungry 5 hours ago, it just means the mud hasn't had any reason to update your prompt until now and it happens to be 5 hours after your last prompt.

I hope this makes some sense. I don't know how else to explain it. That doesn't mean Bakrmarr is not everything you said he is. It's just that this is not an example of it (unless you think the full-loot is enough).
