Some new to roleplaying or those who need to freshen up have probably seen the terms GM or PP. (If not, well, you should have! They were in the rules board! Razz

) These are both crimes in which are frowned upon by the members of this forum.

Many of you are probably wondering what PP or GM is. Here's some simplified examples:

Powerplaying- When one person takes control over another person's character. This can be fine if there is permission, but in most cases, it is done to people involuntarily.
EX: (A scene between a Squirtle and a Sphele) The Sphele said, "OMG ET'S N00BS! LES EAT THEM!" The Squirtle laughed hard, and started rolling on the ground with laughter. "OMG UR FUNNEH!" cried the Squirtle.

Godmoding- This is where your character(s) are the greatest and can't be beat! And for some reason, their attacks always hit, they dodge every attack, even though they're 20 levels lower than everybody else! Also, type matters. Another thing, if you're on a dungeon with 20+ floors, your mission isn't going to take only three posts from you. The missions will be permissable to fly through a few floors on longer ones.

EX: (A scene between a Tododile and a Charmander) The Charmander dodged, easily missing the Tododile's Water Gun. He then turned and burnt him to a crisp with his Ember.
