[##:##] flash <CNUM/CNAME> [<MESSAGE>]

The <CNUM/CNAME> argument is either the number or name of the recipient nation.

flash allows instant communication between friendly nations. flash has two different syntaxes. You can either send your friend a one line message as in:
[##:##] flash Foobots Hi there, I'm back from lunch

Or you can send a multi-line message:
[##:##] flash Foobots

> Hi there.
> I ate Fodderland for lunch.
> .

Note that you can end a multi-line flash with either a '.' (period) on a line all by itself, or by hitting ^D on a line by itself. Note also that all messages are truncated to 60 characters long!

If you do not wish to receive any flash messages from your friends, then you can temporarily turn the feature off by typing "toggle flash".

Note that if the person you are flashing is allied to you, you will be informed if they are not logged in or not accepting flashes when you attempt to flash them. This only works when *they* are allied with you, since you would normally see them logged in or not using "players"
