Syntax

sayto <person> [#lang] [@adverb] <text>
sayto <person> [#'lang'] [@adverb] <text>

Description

Sayto sends the message to all the people in the room and also makes the message look directed. With a normal say you would see:

With sayto you would see:

Furball says to Pinkfish: hello

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.

> sayto pinkfish hello
> sayto drem The sun shines out of your eyes and drowns me in sweet surprise.
> sayto gototh Whooo! Look at that coffee table! The inlay!
> sayto sojan #djelian @happily This is in djelian.
