+Just two little remarks here :
+
+1/ the message should be more state-ish the action-ish here :
+   "you now have 37 HP" more than "you lost 5 HP" : one is skippable, the o=
+ther
+   is not.=20
+
+2/ the order is not necessary I think, but more the delay between them. The
+network speed may compensate the apparent disorder : if there's only 13 ms
+between the events you mentionned, the player may probably not notice. But =
+if
+that's 1.5 seconds, that's another problem ... ;-)
