I *HATE* that. It is like "hide" in your standard diku/merc. Anything
you type breaks your hidden state, and normally you can never tell if
you are hidden or not. This makes no sence to me. "who" is to me an out
of character action, and shouldn't (my opinion, not saying you should
not do it your own way) break my hidden state. Why would it? It is a
non existant reality taking place. How does my character, hiding in
the weeds, know of everyone else on the earth's existance with the
mere thought? Shrug.

Must you "flee" in your game, or can you just wander out of the room
at any given time during combat?
