Spamton Dialog Quirks Guide

Altered from vykerr (tumblr)

* Can be single [square bracket] or [[double square bracket]]
* Can range from a single word, to a phrase or nearly whole sentences
* Single brackets seem to be for calmer words and phrases
* Double brackets for great emphasis
* A lot more single brackets than doubles overall
* Nearly exclusively uses double brackets in first encounter. Maybe trying to hook customer in, good first impression?
* Mix of single and double in shop dialog and first battle
* Doesn't use double brackets in Neo form except for FULL CAPS WORDS
* Most often written in Title Case (Capitalizing The First Letter Of Each Word). Sometimes words with lower case first letters. Rarely ALL CAPS
* Can contain random spaces, lack of spaces, repeated words, spelling errors, nonsense words, randomly capitalized letters in the middles of words, numbers replacing letters
* Sometimes he puts the punctuation inside the bracket, and sometimes outside the bracket. Seems to be random
