USE:

  1. Use Say when you want to send a message to every listening player currently in the same room with you.

Characters have the option to listen to the say "channel", or not. Everyone currently listening to Say will receive your message, provided they're in the same room as you. Say doesn't carry beyond the current room.

The Say command is the way to build "chat rooms", if you like. In TriadCity, groups of persons who want to limit their conversation to members of their group will congregate together in the same room.

"In 1455, Gutenberg invented the printing press -- but not the book as we know it. Books printed before 1501 are called incunabula; the word is derived from the Latin for swaddling clothes and is used to indicate that these books are the work of a technology still in its infancy. It took fifty years of experimentation and more to establish such conventions as legible typefaces and proof sheet corrections; page numbering and paragraphing; and title pages, prefaces, and chapter divisions, which together made the published book a coherent means of communication. The garish videogames and tangled Web sites of the current digital environment are part of a similar period of technical evolution, part of a similar struggle for the conventions of coherent communication.

Now, in the incunabular days of the narrative computer, we can see how twentieth-century novels, films and plays have been steadily pushing against the boundaries of linear storytelling."
