of course im being biased, this is not a scientific discussion at all lol, this is just my experienced opinion.. and its been a long time since i played SL, and i certainly cant remember instances of the dialogue, but what i do remember is that it was a higher quality game visually, and the story captured my attention and kept it, certainly it wasnt as well written as a masterpiece like dancing lessons, but certainly leagues ahead of MNF, which i wouldnt put in the same boat as either this game, or the headmaster, and that was really the only point i was trying to make here.
what i think the MNF author has done, is latched onto a certain handful of keywords, and looks to create situations where those keywords can be dropped. to be fair he is onto something in that regard, but after a few chapters, it really gets tiring, i think the exact words i used in my feedback was "it is becoming a chore to read", and he really flipped out at that.. hell, i was a paying subscriber up til he banned me
