So you know when you are in a room and you get disconnected, everybody sees "The man has lost link." I think that if you were in contact with a person or they contact you, if they would also see it,  so that they dont psi you with stuff and then bitch at you for missing it because they didn't know you had gotten disconnected. It would basically be the same thing, "The man lost link." and then "Has reconnected"

I would like to see something like this, nothing sucks more to learn you got dc'd on your wireless (so you don't know right away) Then 2 minutes later when you find out you have been dc'd and you reconnect you never knew there was a psi for you that said watch out someone put poison in your kaf

Yes. Very yes.

I once got a message when I tried talking to a linkdead PC through the way, something like "I'm sorry, but the mind you are trying to reach is unavailable at the moment."

I've occasionally been informed by the staff that the person I was in conversation with went linkless, or was linkless when I contacted them (i can't remember which).  But for people who lose like -after- you've contacted them, I'd appreciate an auto-response along the lines of what happens when you're in the room with someone.

Sounds like something the gone code could handle. If the character is link-dead, trying to contact or psi him results in '<x> is gone braindead.' or something similar.

An automatic response would be grand.  "You sense your telepathic message has been somehow interrupted."  Or whatever.

I would keep the message simple.  So that it isn't confused with any IC circumstances.

Just the normal message you get when you're in the room with someone.

Or, perhaps, something like "The fat hairy inix has lost his/her mental link."
