My best guess is that someone's trying to do a packet replay attack on Dream Daemon. On old enough byond versions, a malicious user could do an action in DreamSeeker, record it, and play it back later, even if a verb was hidden or otherwise inaccessible. I think that the sequence message is saying someone tried that but cheating won't work for them.

Wasn't that Packet Editing? I remember using WPE back when Dreamseeker had it's embedded pager, I used to use it on Mystic journey to have a trail of items constantly dropping behind me for the fun of it. But if someone picked up an item and equipped it the packet changed and would no longer drop, same for if a verb was removed.
