Maybe Nepenthe's lack of interaction with you has something to do with the lack of any consistent form of punctuation in your writing(that is, not counting all lower-case).

Being painfully honest, the the whole no capital letters, and the run on sentences will tend to insert an unfavorable opinion of your mental faculties in the reader.

It just smacks a little bit of an "immature" mindset.

Is it true always...no.

But what I am saying, is that in a text based game, your eloquence in WRITING has a large effect on how mature and intelligent you are.

I am not saying this is how it SHOULD be. I am saying that this is how it is, like it or not. Because people do have subconsciousnesses, and it will always form a first impression that is really hard to prove wrong. Nomatter the validity of its factual basis.
