So I fought this guy last night, where his charecter (this is a long list)


Was good and bad, or neither if he wanted (basicly if an attack affects good, he is bad, if it hits bad he is good, if it affects both he is nothing)

was able to go into instinct mode, making any form of magic not able to hit him


move in .0000000001 seconds









he said its legit, I want to hear your oppinions (though no one thing are god moding the mixure of all is what I mean)


litteraly made god and satan beg for there life
God moding in any form is not really fair, though if the other players consent there shouldn't be an issue... THAT SAID, I vote NO, just because you rp a divine character, don't mean you have to be rude and an tool and auto hit and twink out completely. PLEASE PEOPLE, RP FOR FUN, NOT TO CONTROL OTHER PEOPLES CREATIONS BECAUSE YOU HAVE A GOD COMPLEX.

I think you may be seeking commiseration rather than polling, and you can rest assured that this is almost universally regarded as immature behavior.

Almost every RPer will admit to once upon a time engaging in some god moding behaviors, when they were very young, very green, or experiencing some very frustrating life circumstances. Almost everyone eventually grows out of it, though it doesn't happen over night. This is one of the upsides to dice-based RPs, or RPs with a GM/storyteller -- they can point to clear rules that reign in this sort of behavior.

We had a community discussion once upon a time about how to deal with god moding: http://www.rprepository.com/help/godmoding

If this problem is occurring here, on the RPR, I'd really like you to simply discuss the issue with the person in question rather than talking about them on the forums. If you need moderator assistance to mediate the discussion, that could be arranged!

Allot of us may have god modded in our rookie days on yore. Mainly or mostly by accident. We all learn and learn to balance out our characters and their perks. A true person will admit to it, while someone who may have a ton of powers and refuses to let their character get harmed or die flat out tells you they aren't god modding when they are.

If you can't really talk to your RP partner about their god modding or their behaviour about it, simple thing is to either find a new RP parter or let them be and move on. Some will get super defensive about it.

KIM, HOW DARE YOU!

Micheru POWERS UP HIS SUPER AURA! MAIDENS SQUEAL FOR MILES NEARBY, THE GODS ALL VOMIT A LITTLE BIT AS ONE, SOME FIRE STUFF APPEARS AROUND HIM AS HE RELEASES AN UNEARTHLY, "HRNNNNNNGH!"

AS HE GROANS, KIM FINDS HERSELF SUDDENLY ATTRACTED TO CAT-MEN, AND--

Sorry, sorry.

I started roleplaying online at 15, which I think is pretty young. It took me a fair few years to stop being like the guy in the post above. It seems to be indicative of immaturity and inexperience. Both of these things are solvable, one less so than the other. Did you stop him and ask WHAT THE HE-- -I mean what his roleplay experience was?
I started at 11, and boy, yea, I wanted to be GREAT when I RPd. Like, I wanted to be good at all the things in that RP
And then there are the years when there was godmodding but also a lot of other things in the RPs I was in
Yea... People do mostly tend to grow out of that due time, but as mentioned, it takes time

And as stated before, I don't think that you need a poll for this one, I'd say that's godmodding. Especially if they are being totally unharmed themselves. Not a fair fight if you can't do anything
Like others, I'd recommend talking it out with the person, telling them that you think that their character might be a bit too overpowered for the RP to truly continue on the way that it is going at the moment
