Yeah, but even when they do have the ability, the player should use some discretion in actually doing it. Kinda ruins the fun, no? The "bad guys" are totally hampered with regards to having any communications that involve the readers. It's not like I'm saying you'd be spoiling my chances to take over the world, but if, say, Belthazor and Angelus were planning a panty raid on Buffy's room, all of a sudden someone is "hacking" or "eavesdropping" and telling Buffy without talking to Angelus or Belthazor OOC first kinda ruins their fun, no? And maybe they've got this plot with Buffy wherein they find something strange in her underwear drawer and now the plot has been derailed.
