Trinity Revised: AMP
Quote from the anti-munch project:
"Trinity: The knowledge downloaders, the omniscient Billy Joe-Bobs. [Also known as Zoicites]
Munch Rating: 8
A: My character was raised by a gang leader in the harsh conditions of a slum. From this, he learned to wield small firearms fairly effectively and has limited driving abilities.
B: My character was born on a remote jungle island and can fly or drive anything and use any gun with perfect aim."

Clairifying Trinity: What is a trinity exactly?

The complaint about trinity and the reason it is
considered godmoding, is because it strips too much
realism from the fantasy for it to be worthwhile.

Trinity does this by giving the godmoder who
is abusing this style of cheating, advantages by
allowing them to use a possibly limitless list
of abilities that allow them to do anything they
want are need unrealisticly, even if those
abilities are not located or stated on their
character's profile.

The godmoder commiting this act of "creative writing
vandalism" is simply so obssessed with victory over
the threatening situation at hand that they take the
godmoding to the extreme of using advatanges,
abilities, powers, skills, and talents, that they did
not have priorly, or can not have due to nature
of the character they are role playing..

Q: When am I being a trinity?

A: You are being a trinity when
you, give your self the abilities
you suddenly want or need even
though your character was never
intended to have them before, or
should not be intended to have them
at all.

Q: How do I avoid being an trinity?

A: By recognizing that you are
responsible for knowing what
abilities and powers and skills your
character should and should not have,
and that you should not suddenly
add any new ones because you want
or need them.

Q: How do I know when someone else is
being a trinity?

A: You will know when someone else is being
a trinity because they will suddenly have
access to abilities, skills, and/or powers that
you don't feel they should have based on
the data that you might understand about
their character.
