For an introto rping post I wrote the following:
Quote:God-modding is an act of doing something that forces another player into a position they may not be comfortable with and is absolutely not tolerated by other players. This can include holding a character against a player's will, dodging every attack regardless of skill, dismemberment or death of another's character and stating how another's character reacts to a situation are all included in this catergory. An example of this taken from my RP LS rules would be:
Player A and Player B are fighting.
Player A swings a sword and Player B and Player B dodges.
Player B counters and comes in and stabs Player A in the stomach with a hidden dagger!
Player B insists Player A has to be dead
Meta-gaming is a character knowing something IC that clearly could not be known outside of an OOC source. This often happens when an RPer writes an IC Journal or a story of something their character did alone for the group to read but never intended it to be OOC knowledge. For example:
Player A is always kind to Player B IC.
Player B thinks Player A is their friend IC.
Player A writes in their character's IC private journal he in reality hates Player B.
Player B reads this OOC and IC starts saying Player A hates them though Player A is still treating them the same way like they like them.
