God-Modding And You
Going into this, I must say that this is pointed out to no-one but I just made this to educate any and all that may be a little new to RP. I hope this helps find you great fun indeed!
  • What is God-Modding? ^o)

    • God-Modding is making yourself all-powerful in role-playing through any actions, series of actions, or traits that are so unrealistic it is impossible in real life. It's like playing as 'God' to tilt everything in your favour. (Hence "God-Modding")
    • God-Modding while RPing is a detriment to all those you are RPing with.

  • General God-Modding -_-

    • It's when your nation/character does something that's just impossible or even unreasonable. Here are examples:

      • Nuclear Weapon usage without consent of others OOCly.
      • Assuming control of the units/characters of others.
      • Using Advanced Weaponry for the Era

    • These are god-modding because if you do this, you're automatically assuming dominance over other players.

  • Statistical God-Modding :huh:

    • Statistical God-Modding is the use of national statistics to give your country or character the edge in any given situation. Examples are provided below:

      • Having an insanely high National GDP (Economy)
      • Having "the most advanced" or "the most highly trained" military.
      • Having an unreasonably large military. (20 Million+, usually)
      • Claiming/Exercising political dominance over other nations without OOC consent.

    • These are all considered statistical God-Modding because anyone who does the above is making it unfair to all others by playing as "God". (Hence, "God-Modding")

  • But My Economy/Military/Political-System is Just -That- Good! :'(

    • RPing is all about having fun with others as you all play with things that -aren't- yourselves. You should all have fun. Please think about others as you RP out and know that everyone should get a chance to have fun in this game. There is no way to win in Nation-States, that's why it's Role-Play. There are many RPers out there who automatically assume their characters/nations are the most powerful, but that leaves little-to-no fun for the other players involved with their characters/nations. Please play nice and play fair! :wub:

"Godmodding and You"! xD This is like an 80s-style War On Drugs poster. :D

This is brilliant, especially concerning General God-Modding and Statistical God-Modding! Though you should change "claiming political dominance over other nations without OOC consent" to "exercising political dominance over other nations without OOC consent".

nuking is a last resort measure and should never be used unless its you vs the world so i say we keep nuking but reserve it as a last resort
