tell

Purpose: communicate privately with a particular character.
Synonyms: none

SYNTAX EXAMPLES
1. tell <who> <what> 1. tell poobah howdy dude!

USE:

  1. Use Tell when you want to send a private message to an individual character, by name.

Characters have the option to listen to the tell "channel", or not. The particular character you address your message to will "hear" it (see it displayed on the Tell channel) if they're listening. If not, the Game channel will inform you they're not interested.

The Tell command is akin to telepathy. Tell is completely independent of the laws of RL physics: it doesn't matter where the character is you send your Tell to: if they're listening, they'll hear you anywhere. We're not sure we're going to leave it this way, so enjoy it for now!

"... postmodernist fiction also reflects the disruption of [the] landscape by twentieth-century war. War in our century has forced us to rethink the received categories of space, conceptual as well as geographical space; it has taught us to think in terms of zone. The lexicon of war is one of the sources of the term "zone," and certainly the postmodernists have borrowed many of the characteristics of their zone from the zones of military discourse - the war zone, the occupied zone, the demilitarized zone."
--Brian McHale,
