This is quite a powerful command. If you use shout, everybody playing on the mud will hear you! (except for the ones sleeping, and those who have set themselves to noshout). Limit the use of this! Many players (and gods) find it rather annoying when everybody runs around shouting to each other. If at all possible do your idle chit chat on the chat channels and not on shout Shout will use up some of your endurance points.
