I would like a rooted floor thing except whatever is on the rooted spot may not move in any direction. Pretty simple to add (I would think!) and much potiential.

True, but it can be simulated/approximated in a number of ways using elements already implemented (orthogonal squares with only diagonal exits, arrows all pointing inward etc). While I realize that these are not exactly the same behavior, the new element won't add all that much to the game. (This has been suggested before, I'm sure)

It was suggesed here but no one opposed it and I am going to ask for it again.

There is no need to ask twice. In general if something has been suggested it's been rejected by Mike, or Mike thinks it's a good idea but it's not a priority, or it is a priority and it'll go into the next version. You don't need to re-ask, because it won't change his mind unless you bring something new to the table.

How are you supposed to get out of being rooted to the spot?

Well... I wasn't thinking of something you could get out of. But maybe there could be a pressure-plate the when you or some monster steped on it, the rooted spot would open for as long as you or the monster were on it. That would have a lot of puzzle potential also...

I don't see Mike saying any of those things on the original suggestion, though.

I'm not in favor of people opening new threads for old features, but that's mostly because there's a perfectly good thread out there for it anyway, and it's a bit annoying to have to respond to stuff I already responded to. But unless Mike explicitly stated an opinion, it's common courtesy to him not to speak on his behalf.

Well, Mike only ever seems to say anything if he can guarantee he's capable of delivering. It's a good policy, and so I assume it's a deliberate decision.

I probably got a little carried away with explaining that just because no-one 'official' replies doesn't mean that no-one official saw it, though. So sorry to Mike for putting words in his mouth in that case.
