godmode

It is a cheat used in video games. While it's mostly obtained through hacking or a cheat code, in online games, admins sometimes have a godmode option in their admin panel.
1: Hey, are you watching the new livestream? There are admins playing!
2: Are they again using godmode to cheat in parkour?
1: Well, yes.
2: Not interested.

Godmode

Godmode
The final, transcendent evolution of the RHSM (Racing Heart, Steady Mind) state.

While RHSM is being perfectly in the zone, Godmode is when you're so deep in the zone that you start breaking the rules of reality itself. It's a state of peak performance so profound that your actions seem precognitive. You're not just reacting quickly; you're moving before the stimulus even happens. Every decision is flawless, every move is perfect, and failure ceases to be a possibility.

To outside observers, a person in Godmode appears to be hacking, cheating, or blessed by some divine force. Their performance is literally unbelievable because it surpasses the known limits of human skill. You don't achieve Godmode; it simply takes over when the stakes are highest.
Example 1: (Sports)
Person A: "How did he catch that? He was already diving before the ball was even thrown!"
Person B: "He's not playing the game anymore. He's in Godmode. Just watch."

Example 2: (Gaming)
"Normally her K/D is like 1.2, but in that final round she went full Godmode. She was single-handedly wiping squads with moves that shouldn't be possible. It was like watching a human aimbot."

Example 3: (Work/Creative)
"I was stuck on this impossible coding problem for a week. Then last night, fueled by caffeine and desperation, my brain just hit Godmode. I fixed everything in an hour and the code was so clean it looked like a work of art."

godmodding

Taking control of another person's character on a role-playing forum or chatroom. Sometimes done by mistake, when a player believes another player's character was doing something they weren't. Can also be used to refer to using out-of-character knowledge (information the player has that their character shouldn't) to gain an in-character advantage, though this is more accurately described with the term metagaming.

Godmodding and godmoding are often mistaken for being the same word or concept. However, godmoding (or power gaming) is, in fact, a separate concept with its own, distinct meaning.
Player A: Alice calls Bob forward, and the moment he steps forward, the trap is sprung, dropping him into the floor below!
Player B: Hey, that's godmodding, I never said Bob stepped forward!

Player B: Bob carefully steps over the trap as he approaches Alice.
Player A: Bob doesn't know there's a trap there! I call godmodding!

Godmoding

Godmoding covers a lot more matter than usually given credit for. It's a term used in many forms of roleplaying (Be they table-top, forum, IM, etc.) for any of the following problems:

1) When a character knows information that they shouldn't - this information could be taken from a forum they aren't supposed to have accessed, the user's prior knowledge on a subject (usually in fanbased RPs that follow a timeline), outside conversations about characters, or anything along those lines.

2) When a player takes control of another player's character (this is negated if there is some form of mind control involved, but even still permission for actually moving the character should be discussed). A common, though often accidental, version of this is when a character attacks another character and they explain that the other character was hit, not giving that person a chance to let their character dodge.

3) When a character is somehow invincible - if there's a GM, good luck getting this character through to the end. Everyone has weaknesses, your character should be included.


Should anyone out there still not get it - Godmoding is a bad thing.
1) Situation - In another forum, the GM has had a hitman hired to assassinate Player A's character.

Hitman: *Happens to be a super pretty girl - just the kind that Player A's character likes* Hey baby.
Player A: *Shoots in the head* Stupid assassin.

2) Person: Player A shoots at Player B, hitting him twice in the arm and once in the knee. And then, Player B falls to the ground, crippled from pain.

- In which the person's character is Player A.

3) ... does this really need explaining? They're indestructible.

All of the above? Godmoding. Generally considered rude / illegal in play.

Godmodder

In an RP, someone whose character is for all purposes, invincible. No attacks or any techniques will work against said character. The character can instantly recover from anything that happenes to him/her. Of course, the character can do anything to any other character and the other characters arn't allowed to defend against it.

In most RP's, godmoding is against the rules and will get anyone doing it kicked out.
