A quick Question on the world event

[LochnarITB]

I understand that it's even simpler than that:  Just put ID on your right click, and tape/weight down your mouse in town.  No need to go out of town at all.

If that is the case, then wouldn't any right button action that was banned in town work? I tried putting glacial spike on a sorceress and standard bow attack on an amazon and both appeared to try to continually perform the action. Of course, you would want to turn the volume down to prevent hearing "not in town" and "not here" over and over. The only reason this wouldn't work is if the character animation is required since identify has one in town and the others don't.

[edit] I tried this out tonight. I did it twice for 20-25 minute time periods. Both worked fine. I then tried it once more with the intention of going longer. I lost the connection and the game went away at about the 30 minute mark just as Yogi Baar noted above. So far, the verdict seems to be that this works for under 30 minutes, long enough to visit the bathroom and make a little dinner. It doesn't seem to be good enough to hold the game to the next day for those all weekend gaming sessions. If I remember, I'll try the ID way when I go to bed to see if it is still active when I get back.

[edit part 2] I tried the identify way when I went to bed this morning - 12 hours of my poor LochsLauncher trying to identify some spot on the ground. At the end of the 12 hours, I untaped the right button and headed off to finish exploring Lower Kurast which I had only gone far enough into to find the waypoint. Of course, the identify method did nothing to cure the ground munchies but that just means that all things need to be picked up before putting the game on hold (but then I wouldn't trust leaving anything more valuable than potions on the ground anyway).
