Description
Say
Sends a message to all currently awake characters at your location. A single quote mark (') can be used as a synonym for say.
Tell
Sends a message to a character anywhere in the world. The character must be awake and listening. TELLing someone across the world takes a lot of effort, so expect some minor stamina loss for each issued TELL.
Reply
Sends a message to the last character who sent you a TELL. This command will work even if you can't see the character, and without revealing their identity.
Sayto
Sends a message similar to SAY to a chosen target, but works similar to WHISPER in that the contents of the message are not displayed to other people in the same location. Other people in the location will just see 'x says something to y.'
