as for you Bdoom, Cross effects is an exclusionary game, I don't pay attention to it as I cannot be involved. I didn't know it would be posted literally a day after mine was posted.
I'm sorry, but how is cross effects exclusionary? To be specific, What do you mean by the term exclusionary, and how, in your opinion, does it apply to cross effects?
In the sense that Lantz isn't allowed to participate in it....
He never got kicked out. Lantz left of his own volition.
That's an extremely misleading statement. It's like saying Nixon never got kicked out of office because he resigned. Sure, technically, he did leave, but he did so knowing that he would otherwise he kicked out.
I'll try explaining, at risk of being yelled at.
Nachos as CoGM enforced the rule that posts be at least decently written and respect proper grammar and punctuation with lantz's beginning post in CE 2.0. Because Elf wants CE to be a well written RP. lantz left because of his claim that he cannot improve his grammar due to a certain unspecified issue. I honestly think that even with such a thing it's possible to improve one's grammar and that even if he couldn't, there were other means he could have handled it, but that's not here or there. So lantz quit, and feels it's "exclusionary" because Elf wants the RP to be well written and thus posts of his usual quality aren't deemed acceptable. And that's about it really.
Lantz can't improve his grammar. I don't know exactly why, but I see no reason to assume that he's lying about it given the trouble it causes him. Whilst he
could have found ways around it, that would have required me to take on the responsibility of beta-reading all his posts. And, aside from how difficult it would be for me to do that in a way that allowed him to keep pace with the other posters, I don't even trust
myself to meet Names' standards (particularly since it was pretty clear Names had no willingness to be even remotely fair or understanding about it), and if my grammatical errors had got Lantz kicked out I would have felt really awful about it.
Plus, it wasn't about grammar anyway. That was just a convenient excuse. Names just wanted to find any reason he could to kick Lantz out, and the grammar was the easiest way to do so.
