Subject: [PATCH] admin deadsay now uses deadchat_broadcasts as it ought to.
 (#69593)

About The Pull Request

The admin deadsay command is old and still based on the assumption that ghosts and admins are the only ones that can hear deadchat messages, while using a snowflake loop that's pretty much superseded by the deadchat_broadcast proc.
