Be creative and use random messages. Eventually you'll have so many
different message that could pop up (including some 1% of the time message
to throw people off) that it'll either bog down an inefficient client or
cause people to miss message. This will improve the appearance of the MUD
too as everything won't be so predictable.
Just one idea...
