I tend to look at it more like beta-testing, where the goal is to "break" the metaphoric glass or otherwise poke holes into it so that they may be patched up prior to drinking (whiskey in mouth > whiskey on floor). I think 6-7 years of Crystalline management has made me cynical and I tend to deal a lot with 'worst case what-if scenarios' as evidenced by many of the earlier posts I made on this forum whereby Tsumi and others often had to smack me down by assuring me that not everyone behaves like a toddler. XD
The above example, as I already agreed, is not godmode but rather an example of how assumption or miscommunication could potentially arise and cause OOC conflict, bitterness, and generally has the capacity to ruin one or more persons' enjoyment of the game. Not saying this is the norm, or that it would even happen often. Just saying it's possible, and while a bit of a tangent, it might be worth thinking about.
Also, poking holes in the glass is a bit different than blowing holes into poor Ol' Yeller, isn't it?
