On my mud we have age bonuses. So, the older you are the more advantage you might have in some areas. So players will log on, and sit in a safe room. Periodically make some kind of movement, and then trigger upon hunger and thirst.
The only true way to stop it would be to make an infinite number of text messages all relaying the same information back to the player. Or, perhaps some kind of timer. If a player responds to text on his screen faster than .3 seconds, then it was triggered. Neither of these are elegant solutions.
