Powerplaying?

Boss intro m8

I have no intention in offending anyone and their actions, opinions or thoughts.
If you are against what I say, please don't rage about it and simply write it in the comments below.

Powerplayers and powerplaying. There's nothing seriously bad about it, exept that it annoys the hell out of people who roleplay fairly. This topic is about powerplaying and what I personally think about it, along with many other people.

So what is powerplaying?
Powerplaying is when a roleplayer gives themself to much power, stregnth, knowlage, ect.
So when someone says they are imortal legendary dragon demon kings and can kill everyone with one touch, that's powerplaying.
It's when you are so strong that you don't even let people have a chance to do their bit.

What I say to powerplayers;
"What you're doing sure may be a very fun idea, but it probably isn't to the people who are roleplaying with you.
If you're the strongest and best person around, there isn't much other people can do."


Since when is powerplaying a good source of attention? You may get into a rp fight, but if you're the best around, you'll always win, won't you? Some people don't like that and want to win too.

When can I see a powerplayer in a person?

Powerplayers aren't specific NPC's, they're real people. You can see them at any time, but I mean an rp timeline.
Some starter roleplayers powerplay because they don't know what is right and what is wrong.

Members simply powerplay because they think that being the strongest is good and fun, but it's actually better to stay 'average' as the time passes by. They will all learn it once, and so did we.

Powerplayers aren't always bad and/or annoying people, it's their way of roleplay that annoys us sometimes.
That includes;
'Killing characters without permission'
'Giving themselves imortality'
'Ignoring other people's attacks'
'Killing easily'
'Healing everything'
'Having unlimited powers'
'Being god'

Here's the important part. Now then, if you do one of these things like being a god, as long as you don't affect other people with your powers, it's fine.

Godmodding
Here's another version of powerplaying, god modding.
You basically give yourselves every power of a god. Super stregnth, speed, elemental abilities, killing abilities, ect.
It's just not right/fair for other people.

Here's three lines that explain this topic in a nutshell;
"Would you want an imortal, not-killable, powerful and strong demi god/demon/angel thing killing you in game?
No.
So don't be one to other people."

We all fully respect everyone in the game regardless of age, gender, roleplay style or if they powerplay or not, but there are some things that can get on our nerves.

Thank you for reading, all comments and opinions appriciated. c:

I completly agree with all the points made in this post.  I enjoy having average characters with flaws because they actually feel as if they were really alive.
