Mobi visibility change

It's more analogous to showing the bombshell when it fires, which it does already. Mobi teleporting is the same as bombshell firing, or scramble scrambling. As it is now, all units are exposed when taking any action other than moving, even when in the fog. This seems fair to me. I suppose bramble has a slight advantage since his action is only reported audibly.

Bombshell attacks and scrambler scrambles are both offensive maneuvers that of course get noticed by the opponent, because these actively affect visible terrain. This is the principle that should be consistent in Outwitters if there is to be balance. Bombshell and scrambler can ONLY be used in such a way that they affect visible terrain. Mobi and Bramble have utility both inside and outside of visible terrain, and they should not be punished for taking action within the fog of war. OML is going for distinct playstyles for each of the 4 teams, and this new rule hurts players' capacity to maximize the playstyle - Adorables, sneaky attacks and flexible defense, Vegginauts, strong defense and creeping influence.

Thanks, good to hear!
