Anonymous Oaf Revised: AMP
Never before covered in the origional AMP:
"Anonymous Oaf: Also known as General Specific,
Constant Oust, Constant Oaf, and Common Statistic.
Causes the majortiy of misunderstandings and conflicts in
godmoding arguments. These godmoders will leave out
important information concerning details and descriptions,
as well as measurements and parameters in their posts, either
convieniently on purpose, to leave an opponent in the dark, or by accident.
Munch Rating: 8
A: Shoots a fire ball at you, six feet in diameter, and 4 feet in length,
traveling at 80mph. as soon as I land eight from from you, the fire ball
traveling with enough force to knock over 716lbs. The fire ball is roughly
420 degrees hot, and will explode on contact into a 612 degree explosion.
The fireball also retains minor homing capabilities.
B: Counter attacks with an ice ball, thats pretty cold and stuff that
hits your fire ball nullifying it completely even though it may not
have been big, fast, accurate, dense, forceful, or cold enough to do so.
I have not stated the erruptive nature of my ice attack so, chances
are it does not have one, but I'm going to silently obligate you to
assume it does so that you know the explosion should be nullified too.
(( I'm one of the upper league role players! aren't I so elite?! =D ))
~*~Anonymous Oaf Revised~*~
Clairifying Anonymous Oaf: What is anonymous oaf exactly?
The complaint about anonymous oaf and the reason it is
considered godmoding, is because it strips too much
realism from the fantasy for it to be worthwhile.
Anonymous oafing does this by giving the godmoder who
is abusing this style of cheating, anonymous details, and
unknown parameters, that prevents the other roleplayer(s)
from having sufficient data to work with during the role
play.
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 leaving out valuable
data of their movements and actions, in order to
make posts in the least amount of time, and with
the least amount of effort, as well as not allow
their actions and movements to be acted on,
manipulated, or strategicly used agenst them.
Q: When am I anonymous oafing?
A: You are an anonymous oaf when you make
a post that contains actions and movements that
do not describe paramters as significant to another
roleplayer's re-actions to your posts, such as; speed,
distance, weight, time, direction/velocity, force,
hieght, width, length, nature, and behavior.
Q: How do I avoid anonymous oafing?
A: You avoid anonymously oafing by
including significant parameters that are
needed to describe your post in detail.
This means including enough detail in your
post so that (just by reading your post)
other roleplayers can imagine exactly
(or close enough to) what it is that happened
in your post, to the exstent that they can see
the events and subject matter in their "mind's eye".
It is this mutual understanding that avoids conflicts.
Q: When should I know to include a parameter?
A: You know to include a paramter when you make
a post where your movements and actions could
raise questions because your posts don't explain
exactly what it is you want other roleplayers to
know you are doing. You should continue to include
parameters such as speed of movement, distance
and location, wight of mass, direction and velocity,
force applicable, sizes such as; hieght, width, and length,
sizes such as rediuses, and diameters, as well as
natures, and behaviors, until there are no questions
to possibly be asked about your post's movements
or actions or until, you have described so well
your movements and actions, that fellow roleplayers
have no questions to raise because they have picked
up on what it is that you are trying to describe.
This is just good creative writting and role play practice.
Q: How do I know when someone else is an anonymous oaf?
A: You know someone else is an anonymous oaf when
they roleplay or emote in a post that they move or act,
and because of the lack of description or parameters, you
find it difficult to imagine, or understand exactly what it is
that they are trying to explain, that they have done.
Extra Notes:
In many cases you will find that some roleplayers will
do things and it is often that 'they' do not know
exactly what they were trying to do, they were just
doing whatever they thought they had to in order to
win... This is an example of an overly ambitious, and
unaware beginner... some roleplayers will spend many
years in this phase, and believe them selves to be in
the upper leagues of roleplayers.. It does happen.
Anyone can make a mistake.
Important Notice:
Anyone who makes this godmoding violation, make
this godmoding violation because they lack the responsability
to act out an attempt at a movement or action they
should not be conducting. Otherwise the results are roleplay
destructive.
Law of common sense:
When this godmoding mistake is made and there
are important, and significant parameters, and descriptions
missing from a post, then the roleplayer responding to
the post is not obligated to respond as if though they
fully understand the circumstances of the post they are
responding to, if it is indeed missing significant parameters,
details, and descriptions. That is simply too much to ask
of someone, and is unrealistic. Instead if your post (for example)
is missing important details, parameters, and descriptions,
then, it is the right of other roleplayers to assume whatever they
imagine is right to assume, about the actions and movements
found in your post, and they maintain the right to respond
according to what they see, (or are forced to imagine) in they're
mind's eye, in order to respond.
