God Modding
"God Modding" is an essence when someone's character has the ability to do practically anything without limits or boundaries. An example is when they simply cannot be harmed by any and all means other roleplayers try to have their characters harm them, and another is when they somehow can lift a car and such (when they are supposed to be a realistic human being).
-It can be when they simply can’t be hit and dodge all attacks or anything for this matter aimed at them.
-It can be when they behave like a superhero and jump from building to building lifting heavy things such as vehicles.
For instance:
Player A: Punches Player B
Player B: Dodges attack, grabs Player A and throws him. Player A flies at Player B, who warps behind him and slashes Player A in the back.
Power Playing
The absolute worst time is when they make out another character to be what they’re not, just to make their own character seem superior. This is known most commonly as "Power Playing". They make others seem weak, screaming for help, when they've made it quite clear about their advantages and strengths. It’s a strain of God Modding, but instead of just being irritating, it’s offensive to boot.
For instance:
Say that I play Bob, and someone else is Susie.
Bob watched Susie as she started to walk away. He ran up to her, the girl of his dreams, and yelled, "SUSIE, DON'T LEAVE ME!" She turned around, and glared at him, with resentment in her eyes, before walking up to him, slapping him, and then walking away again.
As you can see, if this were a post, I'd be typing Bob's actions, as well as Susie's. The fact that I'm typing Susie's actions is power playing.
