After all, you *could* make an attack that round if you chose to, but you are choosing instead to defend yourself. Saying that this choice matters and that it affects the opponent is tantamount to saying the opponent can read your mind that you've chosen to take total defence, and unless you're giving the opponent actual mind reading powers I'd have to argue that if this "no flanking while in total defense" rule was effected everyone be allowed to know if a melee attack is going to be directed at them that round before stating if they want to go total defense or not. After all, if you can tell, so can I.</blockquote>
