Powergaming: Forcing actions on other people's characters without them getting to react.

Example: Sphene smashes Sard's gem in two, instantly killing him.

A good counter for this is to put the word attempt inside the action sentence or subtly suggesting it.

Examples:

Sphene attempts to slam her pick down into Sard's gem. If it were successful, it would shatter or horrifically crack.

Sphene swings her pick AT sard's gem.

Suggesting they do a move aiming for something in a way that sounds like you are waiting for the receiver's action is a      good way to avoid typing "attempts" bluntly.

Godmodding: Just being OP in general. This is the simple term for the action of being OP.

For example, Diamond was godmodding a while ago, but he's improving and has managed to not crack under the pressure of all of us attacking him about it. I give The Diamond Man a round of applause and a standing ovation for this.)
