Congratulations on keeping both of your cool's as well as you did, assuming you both GMed.

I quit an unmentionable, fairly prominent, rpg at the time after being on the business end of God Modding that was unchecked, even in a sponsored saga. At the same time said God Modder also "bunnied" my character as a total wuss. All unchecked by the authorities for whatever reasons. The guy might even be staff there. Maybe the more fame you have the more you can get away with. Regardless of the reason, god modding is repulsive.

For all intents and purposes someone could use a super attack (pp cost) and decimate you. Maybe. . . "If so and so uses a PP attack, short of healing, regeneration, or excessive CA (and still even then in some cases) the receiver is veritably fucked (if the post is well written)." It's clear some things have their uses but at what point do we draw the line with who gets to do what? Sure, A can regenerate, but if B decides his/her character isn't winded and it goes unmentioned (out of sight, out of mind), C (the judge) is liable to carry on with the events depicted. Realism isn't often strived for in this environment, I understand that. But isn't some realism in our roleplays, for the sake of writing something that's not utter shit, necessary? Maybe not.
Should A be disqualified for issuing an extreme, uncalled for (based on stats) beat down? Does B have the right to do the same thing if it's done and one is not disqualified? Should B be forced to explain how their character recovers from an unexplainable "ass being handed to them" situation? Where are the morals? Are we just competing or are we trying to learn something and have fun?
It's a fucking game, so unless you're out to be the 1337 champion of everyone ever because you have an inferiority complex, don't abuse each others characters wrongfully. You'll both have sore toes if you repeatedly step on one-another's.. (grammar?) That's my opinion.
