New set command request: secondary_tell_forwarding
If it's turned on, then any tells to either of your characters will get sent
to whichever is online. And if both are offline, it'll share the offline tell
history buffer and send the tells to the first one that logs on. I have had
more (than usual) conversations that don't make sense due to the mistimed
tells (ie, I sent tells to secondary offline, and then talked to the primary
when he logged in, expecting that he had seen the 5 tells to the other
character).
Yes, I know the first could be handled with fancy clientside triggers keeping
track of who is online and a database of people with secondaries that I talk
to on a regular basis and then replacing name1 with name2 if I try and send a
tell to the one who's offline. However that's a very sloppy workaround to a
(I think) common problem.
