Power Use and Gridspeak

Post by Wendigo »

If you are invisible or otherwise difficult to detect (e.g., Hide in Shadows or Alter Ego), your identity is still visible when you speak on the Grid. I can be invisible on Grid, but as soon as I open my mouth, everyone apparently knows who I am? Silliness.

I think it would be an interesting mechanic to remove the identity of the speaker when affected by one of those powers. It wouldn't have a huge effect on the gameplay, but it might offer an anonymous forum of sorts (or a means to make threats!)

Fun times.
