Godmoding is set specifically making one's character untouchable regardless of the player's interpretation of the setting/lore. This behavior usually stems from a single player.

Failure to compromise stems from a both players inability to reconcile different views of the setting. This can bee seen as a failure on the part of one player, the other, or both.Â

Someone interpreting the setting differently from you is not godmoding, no matter what power level they (or you) might believe to be the average for most PCs. Forcing a world particular world view on others (particularly when there is no way to be right and no way to be wrong) is a slightly different issue than godmoding. You either engage in compromise to let the RP flow, or you do not. You cannot, however, point the finger of godmoding at another player when you yourself are unwilling to compromise in a given situation.

Just my two cents.

I think Warren removing the quote from the context confused people. I stated that some were judging before playing with the other person what their character's race could and couldn't do and reacting based on that, rather than based off of what the player themselves was doing, and I felt that was godmodding, because A. It doesn't have solid basis in the lore no matter how "realistic" you think it is, and B. it disregards the other player's background, actions and intent.

Assuming what another character can do based off the information you have and not necessarily enforcing it on them, or using open ended posts to allow them to play differently than you to a certain extent, or even avoiding playing with them if you think you're incompatible; I definitely agree all these things cannot be considered godmoding, but they're different than the scenario I originally described.

Let's talk Godmoding
