I don't really know where this is coming from, but while farming for 31337 scrolls I had a few occurrences of combats against rampaging adding machines where a scroll was reported as used by Mafia, and was indeed used when checking for refreshed item amounts after combat, but wasn't taken into account by KoL.
Here is an example of CLI output where this happened:
The first two scrolls used didn't result in a 31337 scroll, and one of those first two simply disappeared without being eaten by the RAM. Mafia kept throwing scrolls two by two, but was out of synch with what was happening during the combat, and the only scrolls created where 668 scrolls created accidentally with the 2nd 334 of a first try to create a 668, and the 1rst 334 of a second try to create a 668.
Here is a second combat:
I stopped the combat when I saw that no 31337 scroll was created from using the first two scrolls, and finished manually. During the combat, I checked that the number of 30669 and 668 scrolls reported by the KoL CAB where the same as the number reported by Mafia's inventory, and I checked after that Mafia hadn't missed any 31337 scroll acquired during combat.
I really don't know why a scroll was used, but not eaten by the RAM. It doesn't look like lag is the problem here, since the scrolls did disappear from inventory, so I would bet on a server-side issue.
Finally, the feature request would be for Mafia to check if using a pair of scrolls had the desired result (ie checking if a 668 scroll was acquired after using the second 334 scroll) before continuing the combat, in order to avoid getting out of synch this way.
Another solution would be to be able to skip Mafia automatic scroll creation and go directly to a consult script (or combat macro) that could handle this problem. Right now, the options are "show in Browser" or "create goal + ...". I tried removing goals and choosing "create goal scrolls only", but after the combat Mafia added the 31337 scrolls as goals automatically.
This would also help with the few reports of Mafia mis-behaving when trying to create scrolls with the Black cat batting away items.
