God-modding?

[The Black Forrest]

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 your own problems with other people out out) , 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 plain advice.

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.

Just so you understand. The general is not a place to show your "booboos" The generalites tend to poke at them.

[Laerod]

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

Surely the side we haven't heard from yet.

[Chinamerica]

You're not God-modding. He is.

[Saint Alexander]

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.

I know, I know. Haven't I told you, though; It's too late for the mods to do anything about it? Even so; like mentioned above; God-Modding isn't an actionable offense. I suppose it was a mistake bringing this up -_-

Anyway; I'll just deal with it. Thank you all for your opinions and advice, have a good day.

[Araraukar]

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?

I guess they'll just tell OP to ignore the troll and if the troll keeps crowing about the victory, tell him to stop too?

Please refrain from speaking in a childish manner. This is an adult matter and should be taken seriously, otherwise you'll lose my respect as the two nameless players have.

Still, thank you for your advice.

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.

This is how it works.

1) OP of an RP thread says one player, let's say player X, is godmodding and asks him to stop.
2) Player X refuses and keeps on godmodding.

At this point, the OP of the RP can tell player X he is banned from the thread, and ask the mods to remove player X's posts. However, player X will not receive an official warning for his godmodding unless he starts flaming, spamming, trolling, or any other action that would get you a warning.

Ah ok. Thanks for clearing that up lol

New to this game, but not role-playing.

I read the thread that you decided for w/e reason not to link. It was a painful read and I'd be unlikely to RP with either of you (even if I had the time, which unfortunately I don't).

Please take the offer of the RP gurus to discuss the thread and any others you weren't happy with to figure out how you can get more satisfaction out of RP and also how to handle when things don't meet expectations.

It stopped being an adult matter when you posted it here. Seriously, NSG eats up roleplayers for snacks. Wade out of the dark waters now when the sharks are only circling.

Very well, shall I just ignore this thread until it's locked or moved, then?

Ah. Allow me to elaborate. In such a case, the player is unwelcome, and therefore the host can simply seek help from mods to delete the player's posts. Thread ownership kinda exists in roleplaying, so hosts can ask mods to delete unwanted posts (i.e akin to expelling unwelcome players) if they feel a certain player's behavior is unacceptable. However, god-modding in itself can not be acted upon.

My statement does not arise from the IC content of your role playing, or even the mechanics of how you go about it or understand it (Although I have seen your past work with Ralk and a certain IFA member). It is based on how you're reacting to things not going your way, or the failure to reach an agreement on how the material is to be played out, or rules to be followed. When you role play, a level of respect is sort of expected from both parties, and not for differing standpoints to lead to childish bouts of bitching, or end results of similar nature.

And by the way, it was me who reported that one Factbook entry of yours, derogatory post that it was. How you run Saint Alexander IC'lly or even OOC'lly is none of my concern. It's how you work with other people, or your ability to do so.

In that case, welcome to the non-RPG side of the game's forums. We're all seriously insane, but if you stick to the topic (or perform good enough a threadjack), actual newbies are always welcome.

I think it goes away fastest if you as the OP ask for it to be locked.

And pray tell, what reaction was that?

Anyway; I am very good at the whole give-and-take aspect. I take my hits whenever the need calls for it, I expect the same from any other player.

Anyway; I suppose I should thank you for reporting that Factbook. I'm never usually pushed to that point of anger, but when I am; I usually do things I end up regretting later. ^^;

Just the part where you made an inflammatory Factbook post about the two role players in question and this thread, and in General might I add.

The inflammatory Factbook was only against one player in question. That also occurred soon after the thread itself died and I was still infuriated by the actions of said player.

[Torisakia]

Anyway; I don't take too kindly to being insulted

Well, you chose the wrong website.
