- Godmodding definition;:
In roleplay, it means trying to exert too much control over the plot and other characters, usually because the player has no concept of in character or out of character and is there to "win" and satisfy their ego rather than be creative and collaborative. Examples:
•Invincibility
Creating a character so powerful and invulnerable that it cannot take any damage, be incapacitated or hindered, lose a fight, feel pain etc.
•Dictating other players' responses
Swinging a punch and telling the other player that they are down, that they are unconscious, cut, dead or whatever. In sexual roleplay, it might mean dictating someone else's level or signs of arousal.
•Impossibility
Drawing a knife when your hands are tied. Pulling a bow out of your rectum when you're on the ground and hogtied (I wish I were making this up). Drawing a bow out of your rectum at all, come to that. Being held by the hair and with a knife at your throat but whizzing round and slapping your captive and disarming them.
•Just plain silliness
Taking the plot to asinine turns purely to avoid your character having to suffer a misfortune too weak for your manly fictitious self. Being shot at and deflecting the bullet with a penny on a string so that it flies back up the gun nozzle. Again, I wish I were making this up.
•Anything that is used to let one character force the plot and does not enable the story to be a properly collaborative effort with plausibility.
- Powerplaying definition;:
Power playing occurs in role playing, and it's when you control someone else's character, as well as your own, without the other person's permission
Say that I play Bob, and someone else is Susie.
Bob watched Susie as she started to walk away. he ran up to her, the girl of his dreams, and yelled, "SUSIE, DON"T LEAVE ME!" She turned around, and glared at him, with resentment in her eyes, before walking up to him, slapping him, and then walking away again
As you can see, if this were a post, I'd be typing Bob's actions, as well as Susie's. The fact that I'm typing Susie's actions is power playing.
5. When you start roleplaying you must wait at the boarder for a wolf of the pack to take you to one of the alpha, or wait for one of the alphas to accept you into the pack.
6. Liquid time is not allowed in the RP forums. That means having your wolf in multiple places at once.
7. No posts containing graphic breeding or birthing materials. While it is allowed to have a mate and pups, any posts like the above mention are banned.
8. The password for the bio is, "Hershey Bar".
9. Don't bring fights from OOC into the roleplay. No one wants that kind of drama in the roleplay.
10. Fights between wolves can happen, but you cannot fatally injure, cripple, or kill another member's wolf without permission from them.
11. Keep your username the same name as your wolf. For example, if your wolf's name is Bob, your username will have to be Bob too.
Degrees of punishment1. First warning; If you are caught doing something minor, like, not exactly meeting a hundred words, then you will get a first warning. These will just tell you what you did wrong and to warn you to not do it in the future or to stop.
2. Second warning; A second warning will be issued if you continuously start to break the rules after the first warning, telling you to stop.
3. Third warning; A third warning comes with the threat of a timed ban, telling you to stop if you still continue to break the rules even after a first and second warning.
4. Timed ban; After continuously breaking the rules after several warnings you will be banned for a duration of time completely depending on the rule you have broken and how many times. It could be a few days to a week. (If this happens you will receive an email explaining what has happened, why, and for how long.)
5. Permanent ban; This could be after you break a big rule— bullying another member —or breaking on so many times after so many warnings and timed bans. You will be banned, permanently, without warning.
(Rights go to urban dictionary and wiki answers for the Godmodding and power playing definitions.)
