Godmodding

• Godmodding is defined as taking control of another player’s characters or creating a character that is invincible, indestructible and/or generally unbeatable.
• Godmodding is often used as a ‘Get out of Jail Free Card’ so that the player’s character can avoid whatever is going to happen. For example:
  
  

  John: John fires his machine gun at Frank and follows the burst with a grenade.
  
  Frank: John misses every shot as Frank dodges them, throws back the grenade and runs out of the door.

  
  
  It is understandable to not want your character to get hurt, but the idea that Frank would simply avoid every single bullet and a grenade is simply implausible. Something had to hurt him, even if it was only a shot to the shoulder or a broken wrist.
• Godmodding is frequently used during fight scenes to describe the effect your attack has. For example:
  
  

  Frank: Frank lashes out with his knife and opens a huge gash across John’s chest.

  
  
  Unless you have already discussed it with the other member you should always leave attacks such as this open ended, giving them a chance to dodge or block.

Godmodding is heavily frowned upon, and if you are warned, but persist in doing so, it could result in a ban.
