REPLY

Usage: reply <message>

re <message>


This command will send a reply to the last person who sent you a message

using TELL. It works just as if you had typed 'tell <player> <message>'

but makes it a bit quicker. It can also be very useful in case someone

invisible sends you a message. However, since the reply goes to the LAST

person telling you something, a reply can sometimes get intercepted, which

could land you in an embarrassing situation. So be a bit careful how you use

it. You can use replylock to avoid this.


Example: Kate tells you, 'Hi!'

reply hey

will result in: You tell Kate, 'hey'

Someone tells you, 'I am your secret admirer.'

reply Who are you?

will result in: You tell someone, 'Who are you?'
