Its like a game, nobody can die, depending on what "game" it is. >>

Granted, Friction and Tension aren't exactly the most realistic places XD.

However, I'm pretty sure death still applies whenever anything actually lethal happens.

Note: I once thought about killing Tai off.

And at one point, injuring him into retirement.

No. I mean it.

Yes yes, no shooting, understood, just using it as an example.

I'm going to assume that your talking about when we actually discussed the idea of killing Tai off, and not some other time where you randomly decided to kill my character. XD

no I think Kitten really thought of killing Tai off randomly one day

I found Ash Ketchum Godmoding a lot. Can we scrap him from TV?

You are not adding anything to this discussion. Not even a funny comment. Please shut up.

This is a very serious matter, systematic godmoding and powerplaying has killed many RP sites before, and in a site which is 90% combat it becomes much more dangerous. We all need to be conscious of this and work to stop this from happening. That the mods had made a tread like this is just a symptom that godmoding and powerplaying have increased in recent times. That is very dangerous because it often causes an 'arms race' effect where more and more people start to godmode to counter the perceived godmoding of other players. This inevitably ends bad (with drama). As always I think the best solution is speaking this things out (preferably in private to avoid the drama-spread) so if anything it is only one match affected and not the whole forum.

I ask to people who feel I have godmodded or powerplayed with my characters to send me a message to talk things over. I prefer that much better than losing people to play.

As a less aggressive and flashy writer(or so I think), I've seldom felt really bulldozed here. Sometimes I have to really work on myself not to instantly counter out of some really bullshit move like the bear hug or instantly give in a gogoplata hold, but that's about it.

If I would have a concern, it's no selling and not getting fatigued. Really minor points, nothing that takes much fun away from me.

And views really differ. I sure do not want to defend powergaming, but I had a match where I though we were pretty even when my opponent mailed me that the gritty feeling we had planned did lack a little cause my attacks felt not as effective(brutal/convincing, whatever). So what I want to say that the powermove for the one is a standard or opener move for another player.

Or to put it in wrestling terms from the popular wrestler Ryback:
Shellshock(A Backpack Stunner) - extremely powerful for fans. Backpack Stunner - meh for me.

I stand corrected with the shellshock. But the point stays the same. Samoan Drop > Shellshock then^^

Shellshock is the marching around Samoan drop thing which he can't do to fat people. The Backpack Stunner is his set up move for it, which still looks nasty though.
