Command reference
Tell
Help on Tell
The tell command speaks directly to a visible person or object. It still uses ordinary speech, so others nearby may hear it; it is not a private communication channel.
Use the sayto alias for the same command. A parenthetical emote after the target can describe the delivery of the message.
The syntax is:
tell <target> <message>
tell <target> (<emote>) <message>
sayto <target> <message>
