Chat commands

/jcrew
/officer
/royalty
/shout
/speak (/say)
/tell (/msg)

The /shout command allows you to speak more "loudly" with a larger font and spiky border. No pirate can shout outdoors on colonized islands or inside an inn.

On subscriber oceans, only subscribers are allowed to shout outside on uncolonized islands. On doubloon oceans, greenies are not permitted to do so. The shouted message is seen by everyone regardless of their location in a chat circle.

This command can also be used in conjunction with the /crew, /jcrew, /vessel, /house, and /speak chat channels.

Shouting is useful for e.g. those running events who need to be heard above the general chatter, or ship officers giving orders to their crew. Using /shout unnecessarily (such as indoors, or if you are not an officer of the ship) is considered obnoxious (much like spamming) and may result in you being planked.

Usage
/shout <message> (/sh)

Historical Notes
