God-modding?

Postby Saint Alexander » Thu Nov 29, 2012 10:16 am

So here's something I just find completely ridiculous. Two people, who will remain unnamed out of the minuscule amount of respect I have left for them, have accused me of God-Modding, even though I am a very fair, even-handed RPer. I let one of those fools mentioned above win when I could have just crushed him earlier on in our RP. Not to mention to get back at me for kicking him out of my country, he claims to have stolen ALL my resources over the course of 15 years when such operation were never once mentioned beforehand. Then, when my forces approached the Royal Palace to kill him, he pulls an escape submarine out of his ass when the Palace is nowhere near close enough for a tunnel to the sea to be built in 15 years without people noticing.

He calls me in on an invasion of his country, which I shut down several times due to several factors (Including the fact that his OOC bitching elsewhere put me out of the mood), then destroys my fleet in one move and claims all events that transpired are Canon.

So I ask you, Nation States; who is the real God-Modder here?

Anyway; I don't take too kindly to being insulted, especially by fools such as one of the nameless people. As such; I'd like to bring this to the attention of third parties to get their opinions and a proper judgement on who is truly a God-Modder.

Erm, it's definitely a bad move to bring a roleplay issue into NSG, but your funeral...

Without hearing both sides or bothering to read the actually posted RP, it's hard to say, but I'm pretty sure godmodding is not allowed in International Incidents? If you feel you're slighted, take this to Moderation?

EDIT: If you bring an issue to an "impartial jury" (again, NSG is not the place to go if that's what you wanted), you can't expect them to decide without hearing both sides.

No, this actually happened long ago and I've already redacted most of my posts in the threads to clarify that I don't consider said events Canon. Anyway; if the nameless person finds this thread, and he knows who he is, then he can feel free to post his side of the story here. Of course, I would expect his post to be more biased, but then again I wouldn't expect anything more out of the likes of him.

Besides; it's not like the Mods can or will do anything about this. It's far too late to bring this to their attention and the nameless player and I are already ignoring each other thanks to his childish foolishness in not seeking a peaceful compromise. I just want the satisfaction of victory in knowing that I am in the right whereas he is humiliated publicly.

Why am I reading this as "I lost in roleplaying and I can't get them to play with me again, so I'm trying a backstab in the OOC forum, after complaining about their OOC attacks"?

Well, the events in the first post happened a while ago. The thread series ended recently and in a very bad way, I might add.

This is not the case, sir or madame. The nameless player claims I lost and that I'm a god-modder, even though he did his fair share of god-modding before the thread series died. I merely wish to bring this to everyone's attention and clarify that I am NOT underhanded or a god-modder.

General was not the smartest place to put this up.

At any rate, if such things already tick you off to an extent that you'd dedicate an entire thread to your personal issues with other role players (thus demonstrating your inability to work out your own problems with other people) , then you probably don't have the emotional stability (or maturity) to be role playing in the first place.

No malice or offense intended. Just calling it how I see it.

Uh.
Bad roleplaying (of which god-modding is one type) is not considered an actionable offense.
Also, rumors abound that nowadays labeling named users as bad roleplayers is in itself an offense.

I would ask you not to make that judgement until you've actually Role-Played with me, sir or madame. I thank you for not meaning this in an insulting manner, however. I would have loved to work this out with the nameless player, but as I mentioned earlier; he took the childish method and kept responding with Do. Not. Telegram me. Again.

God-modding in RP is not an actionable offense. Unless a user starts flaming or trolling, there's no reason for moderation to get involved in an RP dispute over godmodding.

But yes, Saint Alexander, if you'd like to TG me or one of my fellow mentors a link to the thread in question, we'd be happy to look it over and discuss what or what wasn't 'godmodding'. But just fyi, it is generally a bad idea to bring RP-side stuff into general.

I reported it on the "move please" thread, so one way or another, should get dealt with.

And OP, look on the moderation forum top stickies. They're actually helpful. Really.

EDIT: Thank you, Lubyak. As you can guess, NSGers rarely know enough about RP to know about this stuff. :P (I still think this thread should be moved/locked.)

Yes, so I've been told ^^;

Most of my posts in the threads have been redacted, sadly, as I wished to clarify that I did not consider said events to be Canon anymore.

Wait... seriously? What if the RP rules in the OP state no godmodding, and someone breaks it and won't listen when the OP tells him to stop it and follow the rules. Thats not actionable?
