=== Purpose ===

Send a private message to someone in the same room as you.

=== Syntax ===

To send a private message to a player:

 . ''{{{ whisper <player>=<message> }}}''

=== Parameters ===

''{{{ <player> }}}'' 

 . The name of a player you wish to send a message to. 

''{{{<message>}}}'' 

 . The message you would like to send to a player. The player must be in the same room as you.

=== Examples ===

__Example 1__

If Alkani wanted to whisper a compliment to Morticon, he would type the following:

 . {{{ whisper Morticon=I must compliment you on the Seyae. They are very well trained.  }}}

Alkani would see the following:

 . {{{ You whisper, "I must compliment you on the Seyae. They are very well trained." }}}

Morticon would see the following:

 . {{{ Alkani whispers, "I must compliment you on the Seyae. They are very well trained." }}}


=== Caveats ===

Players who have the Wizard (W) flag set on themselves may use the {{{whisper}}} command to send messages to anyone on the SpinDizzy MUCK System regardless of their location. The format for Wizards sending messages is the same, except they must pass a dereferenced player name: {{{ whisper *<player>=<message>}}}  

Most MUCKs install a replacement {{{whisper}}} package. The replacement package has this fundamental functionality described along with additional functions that make {{{whisper}}} much more flexible. SpinDizzy MUCK has a replacement {{{whisper}}} command installed.
