-messenger command and receiving speedies while stealthed

Please please please.

It is so incredibly frustrating to make use of the rogue/SD/assassin stealth speed boost, or simply be sneaking between settlements to avoid mobs to then be cut off from receiving messengers. It's as annoying to have to be in stealth to avoid messengers when you don't want them and then having to unstealth every time someone new walks in the room. 90% of my characters are stealthers and this has always been a frustration.

Yes, I want to be able to turn off speedies when I'm doing sneaky work and don't want to be revealed, but it's silly that being invisible doesn't protect you from speedies but sneaking does. I'd just rather have control over it myself rather than having to constantly hop in and out of stealth while on the road just so I'm reachable.

I love this suggestion.

We can just untie speedies from stealth entirely. You toggle it on/off to receive of not receive them and it will have nothing to do with your stealth mode.

I like this suggestion too, I have to be honest. I hope someone picks it up, and that it's approved.

The only small addendum I might be tempted to make (and really only then if we're keeping the stealth thing, if we're not maybe even this isn't neccesary) is perhaps have the message say a special thing of 'The person you are reaching is not taking messages right now,' Rather than 'Can't be found.'

But yeah, I hope it happens.

I'm down with whatever, as long as it keeps me from getting those fun "Hey, look! [TRM's Character] is standing right in front of me!" messages.

Right now one can in theory achieve the same by stealthing and revealing. No point in locking the feature behind such convoluted measures.

I am greatly in favor of the proposal.

How is a command a convoluted feature.

Yep, right now you can stop messengers by stealthing, which is counter-intuitive. This is what I meant sorry for the misunderstanding.

Good idea I was really wishing for a feature just like this on a new character. I havent had a stealther before and everytime I went stealth I realized, "Crap but now I can't get messages," and then have to unstealth.
