    @pemit/list <object 1> [<object 2> ] =  

There can be any number of objects in the list. The objects must be specified by dbref number. This can be combined with other switches.

Server differences

PennMUSH provides two different ways to spoof when using @pemit. The @nspemit command spoofs perfectly (message source is never shown, even to NoSpoof players), and requires a Wizard flag or the Can_Nspemit power. The /spoof switch causes the message to appear to a NoSpoof recipient as coming from the command enactor, rather than from the executing object, and is useful in softcoding communication systems (it makes NoSpoof behave more appropriately, showing the actual message sender instead of “Global Comlink Object” or whatnot). It requires control over the enactor or the Can_Nspemit power.
