Section 11 - Waiting

Waiting more is an action applying to one number. Understand "wait [number] minutes/turns" or "wait [number]" as waiting more.

Carry out waiting more:
    Say "You settle in.";
    let duration be the number understood - 1;
    repeat with X running from 1 to duration begin;
        follow the turn sequence rules;
    end repeat.

Check waiting more: if the number understood > 59, say "You really haven't got that kind of patience." instead.

Before waiting for the third time, say "(You can also 'wait 3 minutes', e.g.) ".
