There is a certain way to set up each kind of roleplaying, be it one on one, or a group play.
One on One
If you wish to battle another member, first ask them via PM. Then, should they accept, the challenger has the right to state the Setting. The setting and cause for the fight must be stated in the first post. The The opponent, (the one who was challenged) makes the first move. In this kind of fight, only moderators may God mod, and only after the fight hits 4 pages.
Group Play
If you wish to play in a group game, Vs. or not, then You do not need to ask anyone via pm before posting. Simply in the first post, state what the RP is about, the setting, and whether or not Players need a picture or tektek of their character.

Ok, i've had to answer this Question 3 times today, so ill just post it here. God Modding, Simply put, is killing you , not giving you a chance to fight back. Heres and example:
Player 1: *Shoots at Player 2 with Desert Eagle*
Player 2: *Throws Grenade at player 1, while in midair, takes a bullet from player 1's gun, and explodes, thus killing player 1 completely*(God modding)
If your wondering why i allow it at all, its because eventually, Moderators want to end the fight and get back to work. But i only allow it after they reach page 4, so i dont recieve pm after pm of complaints saying, Van or Death kept killing me at the first post.
One other thing ill mention now is that If you manage to reach page 10-12, ill read your fight, and possibly declare a winner, or simply allow one or the other to God mod. By taking a dive, and allowing yourself to die ( must be in some sort of dramatic way, not takes a bullet to the head) you make yourself look better when i start looking at people for donations. But if i see your allowing yourself to die every fight, it makes you look worse.

Godmoding
Yes, it's godMODING, not godMODDING. That said, godmoding can and often does completely destroy RPs. There are six different types, which may overlap and mix:
* Version One: Standard Godmoding -- Ash summed up this type by describing this type godmoder as; "Super Duper Unbeatable Unkillable Omnipotent Being. They s**t fireballs and cast devastating attacks in their sleep. They will always dodge or survive any attack thrown at them, no matter what their opponent says." In other words, this person never misses, never gets injured/hit, never has a bad hair day, et cetera. Other godmoding skills might be incorporated into this persona: an infinite supply of items; possession of vast amounts of money, training, or experience; well developed skills in all areas. For the latter, see also version three.
* Version Two: Badly Disguised Standard Godmoding -- Basically the same as version one, only watered down in an attempt to not appear godmodey -- they may allow themselves to be hit once or twice, for instance. These players still have the problem of outclassing the other RPers, drastically changing and/or ruining plot with their god-like mad skillz, and overall taking all the challenge/fun out of an RP, while also having the added annoyance of pissing off everyone else with their constant cry of "I'm not a godmoder!"
* Version Three: Twinkage -- These are characters with enough flaws of skill and personality to potentially make a good character, but they have too many, well developed, all-encompassing powers (like the person who's a Master Martial Artist Summoning Hair Stylist Librarian).
* Version Four: Perfect Team -- This godmoder, instead of bringing in an excessively powerful character, prefers to bring in a team of weaker characters. When one member of this group is faced with danger, the others all work together to form an unbeatable team which overcomes a great deal of, if not all, adversity.
* Version Five: Gazel Ministry -- Instead of directly overpowering a character or group of them, this type godmoder prefers to snipe at them from behind their great wall, be it a high social status, or an inaccessible location. What this results in is that they can do whatever they want as far as making another character's life hell without any consequence whatsoever. Named after the Gazel Ministry from Xenogears, as they did *spoiler* and *spoiler*.
* Version Six: Charisma Godmoding -- This is the art of creating a character who is so persuasive, so suave, and so smooth, that he could convince any enemy he "doesn't really want to fight." Charisma godmoders hack and slash through RPs using a social sword rather than conventional weapons, making themselves impossible to hurt by preventing confrontation altogether. Furthermore, some charisma godmoding takes place when characters make themselves completely untouchable -- the character simply cannot be hurt or threatened because the backlash would be too great, or because others simply cannot bring themselves to hurt the character.
Remember the words of SuperRube, mighty spammer: "Godmoders make baby Jesus cry."
