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.

Say - Send a message to the room.

Pose - Send an action to the room
