I can add this but actually could need a list of important messages where a hard stop should be inserted. By now we have:
- Strength of Atlas waning

Would it be possible to use the no_skip setting in adom.msg for this purpose? That way it's configurable, and there are already a number of default important messages (including the strength of altas messages).

Starvation.

Or maybe leave it the way it is for more schadenfreude videos.

I'd also add that these mishaps perhaps wouldn't happen if the current UI wasn't so hard on the eyes. I find it very hard to keep the messages in the peripheral vision, my HP and the action in the screen all at once, so I'm constantly shifting my gaze around in a way I never used to have to do, it causes eyestrain.

Same here. I find I mainly use the classic UI unless there is a reason to need the flowing buffer to avoid the 'more' prompts. Then I switch back.

I guess 'You die' should be added to the list. Right now we have death (or sometimes, victory, which is another bug) screens popping up instantly while giving no clue as to what killed you.

So far I can think of:

- Death.
- Strength of atlas failing.
- First starvation message.
- Critical hits that take you to 1 hp. Or maybe any critical hit that takes > 75% of your health.
- Poison (initial message letting you know you're poisoned, not every wave)
- Sickness.
- Stunned.
- Confused.
- Cursed (or equipment cursing)
- Doomed.
- New corruption gained.
- Stat drained. (EG, greater demon attack)
- Paralyzed.

Also:

- Surge of power / all special level messages (Dwarftown, Casino, Bunny Level, etc.)
- The message you get when a boss monster is generated
- All one-time room effect messages. (*Especially* the glob of mud!)

The paralyzed one is important because you can get hit by a monster that paralyzes you and then instantly see the death screen, without any indication (in game) what happened or why you're suddenly dead. Of course you can look at the last messages and see "the foo hits you! You are paralyzed! The foo hits you! the foo hits you! The foo hits you! The foo hits you! The foo hits you! [x30] You die..." but you never actually see that in the game.

One more:
- Disarmed.

Implemented.

I think this should be soft-coded. No_skip is quite ineffectual atm, another overriding flag would be useful (would help meet the requirement of my stat notification RFE as well.)
