Apologies for the double post. Is what I did considered god-modding?

Edit - I've never actually seen it myself, so I don't know exactly what it looks like.

You would probably be safer to say what Geoff intended to do rather than describing the results of his actions, thus leaving others to describe their own characters responses to this, but I doubt anyone will complain in this instance.

My real concern is that if he is exerting enough air pressure to lift a car between Mishka's fingers and Graham's neck, isn't his poor neck also experiencing that same force?

I pretty much agree with DFTBA. Godmodding is basically performing actions without taking into consideration how someone else would react or ignoring basic things. Like you did 2 small cases of godmodding imo. One was lifting up Mishka without allowing me the opportunity to counter it and the other one was you overpowering Mishka and freeing Graham, again without allowing me to react.

Tbh I wouldnt have minded that much if you had informed me in advance. It are both really small examples and it's not like what just happened would have really ended in a different result. But there are some other problems I have with the post though...

One is that you lift a person. Not specifically Mishka but just being able to do that. For balancing I would preffer you wouldnt do that. Yes, technically the CS states that you can lift objects and technically people are objects. But lifting up people is kind of OP. As it renders Melee characters totally useless and gives them no way at all to fight you. We have already turned down several characters because of this power. We probably just missed it in your CS.

The other problem I have is that your character was able to overpower a character based on strength. Considering that your character already has a broad array of powers including air manipulation, levitation, flight and construct creation, having the ability to actually overpower strength based characters like you just did is abit much doncha think?

Sorry for the long reply, just some things I was thinking about. Also, this was not a rant. I'm not upset or anything but I'd like to appologise if I came across as aggressive or condesending, that was not my intention.

If you dont agree with the points I mentioned then please tell me. I'm not a totally unreasonable person... Not completely atleast :P

Edit: Also, I am not demanding for you to change the post. Just to take it into consideration in the futute :)

In that case I apologize. I saw no other way to stop the strength based Mishka. You said I shouldn't change the post?(considering the reasons that I should) Also, DFTBA - I thought of it more as what she experienced. If you lift a car, is the ground underneath the car experiencing the pressure it took to lift it? I thought of it in the same way in this case.

Well, you could possibly alter the ending that Mishka is no longer floating or anything like that, else we'll probably be stuck for atleast two posts with Mishka not being able to do anything except for floating and getting more upset... :P

If you want to alter the post then that's fine by me, no one responded to it yet anyway. But dont feel forced to do so, alright? :)

I'll do that when I get an open window. I'm stuck reorganizing the children's section after what seemed like every kid in the world decided to take every book off of the shelves.

I think he's probably going to be OK.

After all, if the physics prof (accidentally) dropped a car on a student's neck without allowing any response, that definitely would be a god-modding auto-hit and would have to be changed (or given special GM dispensation to ignore physics for the moment in order for the game to to be derailed by an unexpectedly dark twist).

...right? Please? If I knew that my speaking up would cause death I would have kept my mouth shut and my science to myself.

I meant in a scenario in which you're not touching the ground(like you were flying and picked the car up, the ground is fine - the ground is Graham's neck). Also, Rune, Graham can't heal himself...

Who are ground, car and lifter in this analogy? I've lost track of how that relates to poor Graham.

Ground would be Graham, the car is Mishka's hand and the lifter (who is flying in the scenario) is Geoff's power. Also, I edited the ending to the post like Zoldyck suggested.

EDIT: Dammit - I shoulda waiting a few minutes, now I won't get 1000 without double posting, which I won't do.
