This Troper has frequently been called a Godmodder, hacker, noob, glitcher, cheater, and everything else since he even started playing games when he was like...8 years old. The trend is endless, Medal of Honor, Call of Duty, Modern Warfare, Halo. Every game I play it's impossible to avoid the {{Scrubs}} who just can't accept there are people (way) better then them. Also, I have a hard enough time trying to get game mods to work, least of which script cheats.

[=TheForce.net=]. Constantly. Especially Havac.

ThisTroper almost swore off Forum RP for good after his first experience ever ended with his character (itself not exactly a shining example of fair play) was godmodded to death by the referee's GMPC. I still refuse to play with anyone who gives their character perfect, precise aero- or geokinesis, especially in freeform RP.

I hope you attempted to contact the people in charge of that forum, first, and tell them what their ref was up to. A good rule forums can have to avoid that is that character death is up to the handler and no one else. Still, even I, a mod on an RP forum, have godmodded once. Exactly once, though, to be fair: a newbie had introduced a Gordon Freeman knockoff who was superpowerful and godmodded a senseless, unprovoked attack on another character, so, in reply, I had my character introduce the pointy end of a blade to his character's head. Luckily, the mods of the thread (I wasn't one at the time,) had been watching the guy and decided that my action was somewhat justified. They let it slide. The newbie, though, never returned from his shame.

I try to avoid doing things like that, but I also tend to be the loonie of any RP I play in, so stuff like that tends to end with me declaring war on the offending god-modder. I do this by using any way that is legal to end the issue, especially if it's humiliating. I admit, it turns into a cycle of revenge, but I can handle that...

This troper ran into this problem when playing with his younger cousin ages ago. When we played just about any multiplayer game (Usually MarioKart or SuperSmashBros, but we also frequently did MarioParty), he'd always think I somehow cheated when I managed to beat him...ignoring the fact that he would have his younger sister try to distract me by being very annoying when it became obvious that her brother wasn't going to beat me.

This troper knows first hand how irritating god-modders can be in freeform RP. When they start actually taking over your characters, you know it's time to complain.

This was actually the only form of godmodding this troper had heard of. I feel like posting an example.

Godmodding is:

"I kill your character. Your character is dead."

"What did you do?"

"My character made your character bleed to death."

"What if my character is a robot?"

"Fine, then I hit your character with my sword, chopping it in half. I then chop it into quarters, eighths and 64ths."

"You missed.

"No I didn't. Your character is dead."

I once ran in a forum RP that was actually going fairly well, except for when we ended up short two characters from two players leaving due to complications. The replacement managed gain the ire of every single other player within TWO HOURS of being introduced. For one, his characters (he had two) were both powerful psychics in a setting that had no supernatural elements, his first act was to kill the two missing players characters who had been PutOnABus, he then proceeded to kill off FIVE major [=NPCs=] (and 2 minor ones) derail the hell out of an ongoing romance subplot ("I'm super powerful and stuff, so she should fall in love with me instead!") beat up the main antagonist (who's player wasn't there at the time) and worst of all: had very poor spelling.

This troper runs a small forum roleplay site, and has been for six years. One member, though a very good roleplayer, has a HORRIBLE tendency to godmod. In one instance in particular, he tried to make up rules that didn't exsist because he claims to be a RL martial artist and he thought he was "fixing" the game. Then, he tried to take about 20 turns worth of actions in one post in an attempt to auto-kill the other character because this other person was just as good an optimizer as he is, apparently a challenge brings out his urge to cheat.

This troper is an admin of a small Black Ops 24/7 Nuketown server. And this piece of shit keeps bragging about his "skills" while obviously wallhacking, using a M60 (The server's RCon editor crashed so it didn't ban him). He stated that it was my fault, killing him in the first round. The piece of shit had the audacity to ORDER me to apologize. What this shit doesn't know is that I know the server's master password so I manually banned him for life.
