If it was a well-documented fact that UG was very hygenic and APM clearly knew this and made the claim that his feet stunk when they clearly did not, than yes I think he could be labeled a liar or just out of his gourd.
I made the statement based on the fact that APM unknowingly made the assumption (you know what they say about assumptions) that UG's feet smelled, when in fact they did not. While not explicitly godmode (unless perceived as such by the extremely sensitive, as Tyriont pointed out), this would be the result of a breakdown of communication whereby APM probably should have done the responsible thing and sent UG a /tell inquiring if this was an ok emote to make. Sometimes this is feasable and sometimes not.
Case in point - and true story. Kes has blonde hair based upon one of these communication failures. It had been planned that her hair would be silver, just like her father's. This was never expressly communicated to anyone, and at some point several months later someone I was RPing with - I believe it was Hirilonde - made some mention of how long Kes's blonde hair had become, or something to that effect. He had probably assumed this based on the way the character's mother looked, and I had never at any point publicly or on storyline post indicated that she was supposed to have silver hair. It wasn't a big deal for me and I just rolled with it, but some people might take issue with inconsistencies such as this.
Again, this sort of deviates away from the godmode discussion at hand, but I did think it was worth mentioning. Clearly Riki was right and the incident should not be construed so much as godmode so much as a potential mixup in communication.
