Power Use and Gridspeak

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.
