Without the "your disguise was broken" / "your disguise held under scrutiny" lines there'd have been no way to tell whether the disguise was legitimately broken or if a metagaming incident report should be filed.
Out of curiorisity how can it be metagaming? If a player break it, then its fair and Square, if he dont how can he know who the real character is?
I dont abused the game, so for me its more "tempting" to Meta, when a OOC message tell me that i have been discovered?
Leaving aside issues of them somehow knowing who you are without breaking your disguise (maybe they spotted your name change on the list, maybe someone told them in tells, IDK.) there's other issues where disguise comes into play.
If someone breaks your disguise, but don't know who your character is - they stil recognise you as disguised.
If someone doesn't break your disguise then... (though I'll add this is dependent on circumstances(1)) they shouldn't really be rping susspicion your way, as far as they're concerned you ARE a Hawkin
For example you're playing a new disguise, - "Elly." You're just wandering through Bendir, checking shops, but not wanting to be recognised for your real self - Sasha Silverscales!
You get no message that your disguise is broken. You know its held true all the time. Yet some of the Hawkin are following you, susspicious. - and then confront you, spending time to try and talk to you, questining you carefully. This is likely metagaming. They have no reason to susspect you as far as you know. So you can report that.
In the same situaitonk, as you're passing the Hawkin, you get the message 'your disguise has been breached!' - Even if these Hawkin don't know who your character /is/. they can tell that your character is disguised in some way, and so they're within their rights to act susspcious and such.
That's just one example the message is useful for disguisers.
(1) - If you're going to a Myon Party dressed in full black, with a skull mask, with the diguise name 'Xanxor Elfslaughterer' then obviously I'd expect people to rp some susspicion your way. Context and such does matter.
This too shall pass.
