Name

whisper - Whisper to another person.

Syntax

whisper [#lang] [@adverb] <message> to <person>
whisper <person> [#lang] [@adverb] <message>
whisper [#'lang'] [@adverb] <message> to <person>
whisper <person> [#'lang'] [@adverb] <message>

Description

This is similar to tell, except it only works in the current room and it tells everyone else in the room that you whispered to the person, but not what. This command is great for inducing paranoia.

The # and @ can be used to use a specific language and an adverb to the message. You can use partial matching for a language, so for example #dj will make you speak in djelian. You may also put the language name in quotes after the # to speak in languages which have spaces in them.

Examples

> whisper you are not a frog to pinkfish
You whisper to Pinkfish: you are not a frog.

Messages everyone else gets

Zoroaster whispers something to Pinkfish.

Message Pinkfish gets.

Zoroaster whispers to you: you are not a frog.
