Thread: Why so much god mode?

Don't know if it was stated, but I feel some writers envision themselves in the characters they wrote and thus write the idealized version of them self. From what I see most people don't fancy the idea of death now apply this to writers using characters as personal avatars, its understandable why they are so perfect.
Thread: Why so much god mode?

Good topic. I don't like when people throw in strange behaviors andor totally dominate a thread. It's difficult to interact and write with a player who's insistent on being the princessprince. Dealing with a bratty attitude only goes so far in an adult, and can be hard to rp with for me. I try to put in extremes as controllers for my chars like my werewolves. They're all over emotional, weak to silver, weak when morphing, have the attention span of gnat and I try very hard not to overpower them. My biggest thing with the god modding is usually akin to my aversion of the general mary sue gary stu concept. A character with no weaknesses who knows everything--even things that are just thought--irritates a person to no end. Any char that announces him or herself as a leader or expert on something, but role playing it is entirely different altogether. Or even worse, the ones who act normal at first and grow more powerful and all knowing with each post. It's an insecurity in the player that brings these out in the character. Addressing what you want to accomplish in the thread by PM's first is probably the best way to avoid the god mode problem, at least I think so. We all want to be exceptional and that's a great part of writing. We just need to put in our own controllers on what we want in our shared threads. So in summary, chat OOC first and then start the thread. If you jump in with no plans, then things could go badly.
Thread: Why so much god mode?

Just had yet another god mode player in the same thread I referenced at the start of this one. And this time, the fellow was so obnoxious about it that there was no other choice than to freeze him into a urine ice cube. He, uh, didn't post anymore after that. But it just goes to show you how far people will go to dispose of a god mode character.
Thread: Why so much god mode?

I sincerely do not enjoy people God-Modding my RPs where everything is going correct. I've had several RPs where the person either does something that you intend for himher not to do but out of thin airs he gets superhuman force or he just godmods your own character into liking stuff you'd otherwise don't enjoy. I wish people would just restrain themselves to their own characters...
Thread: Why so much god mode?

Such are the flaws of freeform rp. That's why I play DDPathfinder, no matter how well made mechanically a character is, he's never unbeatable, because I can just make a better opponent or simply use my godly DM powers to reign him in if need be.
Thread: Why so much god mode?

Now this is a bit of a resurrection of a old thread but yeah I see this more then often enough in many forms. Many times this comes in the form of the unbreakable defense or the unstoppable attack. People many times post like even when they aren't automatically eviscerating you like He slices at your mid section to fast to even see. They also act like no matter how long the battle has lasted, if they are surprised, unprepared for a trap they always counter it like they are in their best condition. Always counter it like they expected it the entire time with no outside effects like exhaustion from a long battle or strain in a difficult one. They can't seem to take any factors but that current attack into mind, even if they are wounded they will forget it and act like it Doesent exist. It is supremely annoying when someone fights without realizing other factors in addition to even normal god mode.
Thread: Why so much god mode?

I almost have a hard time even understanding why anyone would ever play anything but dead realistic HUMAN characters, because the fact still remains that they are created from our imaginations, just like their surroundings, the possibilities are still endless and it's AMAZING! I mean, does role-playing REALLY become more amazing if you add funny ears or magical powers? But I do understand, if only from RP'ing fantasy characters as a preteen. I don't understand RP'ing characters that have unlimited powers, unless it's for some really specific sci-fi RP and even then the plot would have to support it, even demand it, all the way through. Someone said people fantasize about being able to do anything. I guess if you've never experienced something like that, you think it's automatically cool. It's not cool to be able to do anything in real life. It makes people act... really bad. Stupid. And it seems from this that the same is true in RP's. Kind of funny.
Thread: Why so much god mode?

First off I'd like to say I didn't read ALL of this thread but I did read some valid points. Most of the time I have a issue with making characters too weak, with too many flaws. I've had a few instances where my partner has literally told me to Man Up which I found hilarious. So long story short I create a character that has a set number of skills. Most in which involve hand to hand fighting or depending on the era sword play. The biggest flaw that I involve in a few of my characters are their tempers. quick to lose and it's a huge flaw, but he does at some point overcome it and appear to be OP, but then I draw out the fact that there is another flaw not just bam I'm all powerful. Most other rp sites where I go for other things seriously frown on the god mode thing, so I avoid it as much as I can. Seriously though it's just annoying to play a super OP character, UNLESS I get to play a demon then it's fun, but I still leave room in him for flaws and weaknesses.
Thread: Why so much god mode?

My characters usually do have a vice of some kind. That actually wasnt done on purpose either. Whether its being a sex addicted bitch who had a relationship with her father, to being shy and awkward, to being a mother who is ok with her husband fucking her child whether the child wants it or not, I have managed to make all my characters have something that makes them less than perfect. I have a supernatural character, who by all accounts is powerful, BUT she cant do potions well. Flawed. Nobody wants to go up against someone who is perfect. Wheres the fun in that? Writing this I realize that one of my characters in a current rp might be a little too perfect. Hmmmm. Ive got to do something about that.
Thread: Why so much god mode?

I think it's up to the skill of the writer, really. Think about it.. Give a terrible writer or roleplayer Superman, and you're going to have a bad time. Give them Iron Man, think it's going to be any different? Give a good writer one of these characters, and that's a different story. I've played god mode characters. Trickster archetypes that make Jim Carrey's The Mask and Anansi blush in comparison. Was it a terribly god mode character? Of course, but on the flip side highly entertaining to myself and everyone reading. All it comes down to is how someone handles a character. God mode or not, ya know?
Thread: Why so much god mode?

I think that the reason there are so many god mode characters is because that it's easy. It can be a challenge sometimes to come up with flaws for a character and I don't think many people want to bother to come up with anything. No, that doesn't make it good to do, but I think that's probably the main reason. That and they want to play a character that's different from them, they want to play a character that they want to be, their ideal self. Sometimes I'm guilty of doing this, too, but I try not to. I prefer my characters to have flaws and weaknesses. One character I'm role playing now in a Mad Max-like setting has plenty of flaws and his job isn't anything all that attractive... He delivers water to people's houses. While I haven't yet gone into his mental state, I have tried to show his flaws visibly on him, to the point that he's even missing a couple fingers. I also usually try to give me characters some sort of fear, which is usually a fear of deep water which is what I'm afraid of myself XD when it fits the role play. My characters also tend to question themselves a lot and flip-flop between ideas and goals, and what they think that they should do. Most of my characters seem to have a mental conflict going on in their head almost constantly. Playing flawed characters is fun. It's no fun to play a character who is perfect in every way.
Thread: Why so much god mode?

I have found that God modding is simply a dick measuring tests between unskilled roleplayers. In skilled roleplayers, writing the biggest post is the dick measuring contest. Luckily for me back in my Mary sue writing days, I never wanted to be the strongest. I wanted to have flaws, I wanted to have all the god modders protect me rather than fight me. If I fought any god modders, then I would always, gracefully lose. So they never bothered me back then. Now? I just kind of...don't play with people who don't know how to develop a character beyond power level.
Thread: Why so much god mode?

Superman was the first superhero, and was the father of god mod. Batman wasn't a flawed character, more mad than the lunatics he hunt before 80's god bless the Crisis. If you put very light boundaries in the first rpg session of a person you will discover all the repressed desires of your subjec-- sorry, players. The point is, fiction is a no consequences space, where, like in dreams, we can satisfy all our desires. Freud explains. The first impulse, in my opinion, is to satisfy these desires. Only after we satisfy them or start to look at the fiction like a serious thing we care about things like quality of the story, and add flaws, and start to see the beauty of loss and tragedy. The main change is that you stops to see the story as something targeting only you inner desires and start to see the story as a story, something to be appreciated for anyone. Stats to see your story with the same eyes you look at something you didn't made, and expect good pacing, multidimensional characters, fails, etc. In a group activity, like rpg, this is a problem. Nobody cares if your fanfic is a power wanking fantasy, but if you are in a group you must care about the other people and make the story god for them too. To me, god mode is a sign the player ave not made this fundamental change. God mode only works in rp if booth players like it, and don't fight to be the greater god because it's not a story to be read, but to be played. TL R It's a natural development stage. Mature players get over it. Some, sadly, never.

Alexander Curtis was a man with big hopes ever since he heard of all his friends getting free sex with every woman they met without much effort. All it takes for them was a little bit of charm, some sweet talk, beer, and bamm they were in for a treat at night. Well, Alexander want his life to be like this. A life where he can wake up in the morning in his bed, a woman without any string attached lying down on the bed, drunk and naked. Well he just wanted some pussy with his member as he was still quite new at sex. Everyday, he would wake up from his sleep, thinking of just.. just maybe he could get some sex or multiple ones... or better multiple sex partner everyday. Well at least until one day where he decided to walk into a bar where he lay his eyes upon this girl. Well this girl seem to be any ordinary girl that you can see anywhere, but deep down he knows she could be the one who make his dream.. into a reality.

Isabelle Fairchild was only 16, but she easily passed for 21, and hence, she was let into the bar, pub, or whatever people liked to call such drinking establishments these days. She was drowning away her sorrows over a very cheating boyfriend. She was planning on giving her virginity to him, then she discovered him in bed with another girl from her class, well, he didn't see her, but she saw him, and it had taken all of her effort not to murder him and the girl he was sleeping with. Instead, she ran until she found the bar.

As Alexander lay his eyes on this girl who was drinking, the blonde female who was seen on the counter. '' God she got to be so hot but why isn't anybody noticing her, she's all alone over there '' he thought to himself. His hands and legs trembling as he slowly make his way over the counter and the girl in particular and boy was she a hottie all alone. '' Ummm, Hey, why is a beautiful young lady like you all alone? Where's your friend '' he asked her curiously. His hands sweating as he was still a shy yet good looking man. Perhaps this would be his night? A night to be remembered

So you and Kaden... Rebecca explained. Has he proposed yet? Rebecca asked, smiling. That would be signing a death wish. Joe replied, smirking before Rebecca pushed him. Oh hush you... She added. I don't know honestly. I love where we are at. If that means waiting for a few more years for marriage, I am alright with that. Kodie replied. She was rather laid back and relaxed. She always had been. Ryan seemed to be staring at a girl, watching her as she walked in. Kodie....Kodie....KODIE! He said, his hand flailing as he tried to touch Kodie. What? She asked Ryan. That girl....looks just like you. He said, pointing to her. From the back, the girl could be anyone. And when she sat down, her back was to the group. Ryan, I think you have had too much to drink. Kodie replied, lightly patting his shoulder. What's next? Kodie looks just like Rebecca? Or that blonde bartender? Joe added, smirking and then a hearty laugh to follow. No I am serious! I swear to god. She is like your long lost twin. Ryan explained. Another eye roll from Kodie. Yeah Ryan, didn't you know? I am part of a team of identical sextuplets. And we all got split up. One is an astronaut, the other is a movie starmodel, then there is me, a doctor, a baker and the last one is in prison. She was always the bad apple. Kodie joked. Laughter all around from her wild story. Ryan pouted again, knowing that girl looked like Kodie.

Shit man, I know we should of went to Billy Side. They got the better beer...and food there -Most of the girls laughed- I'm serious Rhea, a dark-hair brown, answered with a slight pout. Kara glanced over to her with a shady look. Rhea however looked around the bar and instantly had a bad feeling about it. She shook her head. Like, come one, who wants to go to this dump? She then turned into a half whispered conversation so no one from the front couldn't hear their conversation. They laughed again. Once the small group of girls finally found a good place to rest and seat and enjoy the music, for now, Kara on other hand sat the end and ignored any starring that was going on. Rhea looked around the bar again. If I find any cute guys here, I'm taking him. She commented before glancing over to a group of people and noticing one of them was pointing to their group, but more to Kara. She raised an eyebrow, curious. Why the fuck am I seeing two of Kara? She huddle to the small group of girls before turning to Kara. Kara raised an eyebrow. Until suddenly, Maddie popped in. I don't know why, but why don't we just relax and have fun?color With that, she pulls a big bottle of alcohol from her bag and onto to the table. However, Kara shook her head no and wondered what had gotten into Rhea. - Most importantly, what the fuck she was talking about? Two Kara?

Kodie finished off her beer before she looked around. Anyone else want something? She asked. Southern Comfort. Ryan called out. Another beer would be great. Joe chimed in. This pomegranate cosmo is amazing, another over here! Julie added. With the drinks in mind, Kodie headed off to the bar. She ended up passing that table with Kara, of course not where Kara would be able to see her. After ordering the drinks, she headed back towards the table. But she had to take a different route as she followed the server with the drinks. I still say that chick looked just like Kodie. Same hair, same face, same eyes. Hell, they even had the same ass! He droned on. Ugh come on Ryan. Let it rest. You have been drinking since we all arrived a Kodie and Kaden's apartment. Rebecca explained. Kodie soon returned, holding this time a jack and coke. Lets talk about something else. Like are all of us still in on the trip to the keys next month? Julie asked, almost bouncing in her seat from excitement. I am so in for that. Kaden can also take off some time as well. Kodie chirped. Ryan and Joe nodded as well. They were going to be renting out a little condo. Well, not so little. It was actually more like a mansion.
