Individual players and other predefined groups can be messaged in this way. The following table lists the initiating keypress (like n in the above example) and the consequent recipient(s).

Keypress Recipient(s) Explanation
n Send to all All players and observers
m Send to teammates All players on your team (ie. the same color as you)
z Send to Admin All players and observers who are administrator
. (dot) Send to individual Use left-arrow and right-arrow to cycle through player names
, (comma) Send to nemesis The last player you killed, or who killed you

The Send to all feature can also be used to send administrative commands to the server.
