Eh? I’m confused.

Seems like there’s confusion and misunderstanding both ways: It looks like you’re saying that it’s ironic that it’s Emily who discredits walls of text, implying that the irony is that she herself made the extension that’s basically a collection of walls of text (and/or that she tends to write games that are too wordy). You probably wanted to say, instead of specifically pointing at a single person, that it’s ironic that text is undesired in the context of text-only games in general.

Exactly. I merely meant that this statement about “walls of text” being “unattractive” made me smile, because I couldn’t help thinking about applying it to the medium as a whole. Whether I believe Emily’s games too wordy (or too brief, for that matter) is hardly of any consequence to this discussion and I’ve used the help menu extension in games myself before. My sincere apologies if this came across in an insulting or otherwise offensive way.

I’d like to sincerely apologize to you, Hannes. I misinterpreted your post.

Update: I’ve made some major revisions to Smarter Parser and started a new thread about it, for anyone who’s interested.
