{{commands/chat}}
The '''/tell''' [[command]] allows you to send a message to another pirate privately. The receiving pirate must be online.  You can only send the message to a single pirate and you cannot combine /[[think]], /[[shout]] or /[[emote]] with /tell. You can also send tells without typing /tell by selecting the "Tell" bubble to the left of your typing line and selecting or entering in the name of the pirate you wish to send them to.

If a player attempts to send a tell to himself or herself, that player gets a message that says "Talking to oneself is a sign of impending insanity," and the tell doesn't go through.

If a player is playing [[spades]], they may not send a tell to their partner.

<tt>/tell <piratename> <message>, /msg <piratename> <message>  (/te <piratename>)</tt>
