A Modern Major General:
I am the very model of a modern Major-General,
I've information vegetable, animal, and mineral,
I know the kings of England, and I quote the fights historical
From Marathon to Waterloo, in order categorical;
I'm very well acquainted, too, with matters mathematical,
I understand equations, both the simple and quadratical,
About binomial theorem I'm teeming with a lot o' news,
With many cheerful facts about the square of the hypotenuse.
I'm very good at integral and differential calculus;
I know the scientific names of beings animalculous:
In short, in matters vegetable, animal, and mineral,
I am the very model of a modern Major-General.
I know our mythic history, King Arthur's and Sir Caradoc's;
I answer hard acrostics, I've a pretty taste for paradox,
I quote in elegiacs all the crimes of Heliogabalus,
In conics I can floor peculiarities parabolous;
I can tell undoubted Raphaels from Gerard Dows and Zoffanies,
I know the croaking chorus from the Frogs of Aristophanes!
Then I can hum a fugue of which I've heard the music's din afore,
And whistle all the airs from that infernal nonsense Pinafore.
Then I can write a washing bill in Babylonic cuneiform,
And tell you ev'ry detail of Caractacus's uniform:
In short, in matters vegetable, animal, and mineral,
I am the very model of a modern Major-General.
In fact, when I know what is meant by "mamelon" and "ravelin",
When I can tell at sight a Mauser rifle from a javelin,
When such affairs as sorties and surprises I'm more wary at,
And when I know precisely what is meant by "commissariat",
When I have learnt what progress has been made in modern gunnery,
When I know more of tactics than a novice in a nunnery--
In short, when I've a smattering of elemental strategy,
You'll say a better Major-General has never sat a gee.
For my military knowledge, though I'm plucky and adventury,
Has only been brought down to the beginning of the century;
But still, in matters vegetable, animal, and mineral,
I am the very model of a modern Major-General.

Get the Modern Major General mug.A roleplayer of any sort that can not understand the rules of the game, they will block every attack, dodge every attack, and with auto, also known as making a attack so it can‘t be blocked or dodged. They have little respect for roleplay fights and, in some cases, if you block them, they will call you s n00b, moder, or something that makes them just seem like a moron.
Thought to be taken from the normal term in video games for (in most cases) being invincible and usually have most of any skill or attacks unlocked, any magic held be to the max or unlimited, and ammo to the max or unlimited. The term of coarse is god Mode, a person such as this is taken god moding into a place it is frowned upon, god moder.

Get the Moberly, MO mug.Get rid of mods and trolls and spammer-trolls (see spam) and you will have a peaceful forum.If you have zero tolerance for trolls and spammer trolls then you wouldn't need mods at all,just a couple of bouncers to ban the obvious idiots.People should be allowed to have opinions and beliefs and express them but if you can't spot a spammer-troll(spam-bot) or an ordinary troll right away then you have no business being a mod and trying to mediate who can say what because then biases creep in and you've done a shitty job.YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE YOU MODS YOU!
