<> AMP Revision Ver. 1.4 <>
The origional AMP was unclear on it's definitions
and descriptions. This is because it was designed
only to raise awareness about the things the writers
of the origional AMP disliked in the actions of other
role players. In addition the Anti-Munch Project also
included a number of terms that had absolutly nothing
to do with godmoding violations what so ever.
As a result the origional AMP was just a list of complaining
that could not be used as an effective or valuable tool,
or shield to defend role players and RP threads from
godmoding abuse. This is because the origional AMP
was focused alot less around godmoding and the real
problems at hand than it really should have been.
For this reason I have revised the Anti-Munch Project
into a database easily usable as a defence agenst
the violations of godmoders. Clear, crisp, decisive,
defining, and to the point, any beginner can read
this revised guideline and know how not to godmod,
how to identify when someone else godmods, and
how to address their godmoding without difficuly when
they are forced to make the violations of a godmoder
appairant.

Aimbotting Revised: AMP
Quote from the AMP:
"Aimbotter: Especially annoying when using NPCs, as NPCs don't get to argue about munch.
Munch Rating: 7
A: Three hundred seventy of my trained assassin gymnasts crest the hill, sight you, and rush toward you.
B: Luckily, I have three hundred sixty-nine bullets in my chain gun! I quickly mow them all down, each taking a single bullet to the head, and peg the last one with a rock in the sternum."
~*~Aimbotting Revised~*~
Clairifying aimbotting: What is aimbotting exactly?
The complaint about aimbotting and the reason it is
considered godmoding, is because it strips too much
realism from the fantasy for it to be worthwhile.
Aimbotting does this by giving the godmoder who
is abusing this style of cheating, flawless accuracy.
The godmoder commiting this act of "creative writing
vandalism" is simply so obbssessed with victory over
the threatening situation at hand that they take the
godmoding to the extreme of not missing in a situation
where interfering elements, evasive actions of targets,
and personal imperfections should always render perfect
accuracy impossible especially over an extremely large
range of targets.
Q: When am I aimbotting?
A: You are aim botting when you hit a target with
perfect precision and accuracy, without using your
best judgment and honesty to "penalize" your self,
or limit your abilities in accuracy, for reasons as
realistic as involunteery, and instictual opponent
evasiveness, interferance due to elements found
in the role play's enviornment, and personal flaws
in accuracy that can even cause your character
to miss on his or her own.
Q: How do I avoid aimbotting?
A: You avoid aim botting by missing until your
opponent has run out of excuses to not be
hit by your attack, short of when your
opponent godmods to evade. (this subject
crossed later in the revision.)
Q: When is it alright to hit my opponent?
A: It is perfectly alright to hit your opponent,
under the following circumstances.
1.)When your opponent(s) do not take the measures
nessessary to present them selves as difficult enough
targets to hit.
2.)When your opponent is unaware of your underway
attack and immenent offences, or when they are off guard
or caught by surprize.
3.)When your opponent is restrained or disabled from
avoiding being hit.
4.)When you attack your opponent in a method where
it is circumstantially impossible for them to avoid being hit
completely. (Because there are instances in combat where
being hit is unavoidable. this topic crossed later in the revision.)
Q: How do I know when someone else is aimbotting?
A: You know someone else is aimbotting when they roleplay
or emote a perfect shot or hit on a target that they have not
identified as an induvidual. This means someone who is not
aimbotting will take the time to identify each target as an
individual or by it's personal location.
Example of hitting every target without aimbotting:
I throw a clip into the air with my left hand and raise my
hand gun with my right, while the clip is in the air, I fire
on one of your guards sent at me 30 feet away, and hit
him unexpectedly in the head, he suddenly falls and trips
another guard, whom I shoot while he is down so that
he does not get back up, and when another guard stops
to look I take the oppertunity to shoot him as well, for
he stands only three feet away from his fallen comrades..
The following guards are now at 20 feet still charging me
I randomly fire again and again passing my range of
fire over them hitting many of them well enough to stop
and slow them, but not with the leathal accuracy that
I could get from aiming at them one at a time. Then
I drop the empty clip, catch the clip I threw into the
air, and I reload my gun in time to shoot a guard
on my furthest right in the face as he closed in on
about 10 feet, followed by shooting the next closest
guard who is now leading the charge in the leg,
because he begun to hide his face behind his shield..
Then I toss my gun into my left hand and fire continually
spraying the second wave randomly, injuring many of
them too badly to continue running.. I unlatch the empty
clip toss my gun up grab it by the nose and hit the last
guard of yours in the head with the handle, knocking him
out.. making him the lucky one of the bunch..
Example of an actual aimbotting godmoder:
Luckily, I have three hundred sixty-nine bullets in my chain gun! I quickly mow them all down, each taking a single bullet to the head, and peg the last one with a rock in the sternum.
The difference between these two examples is only realism.
One was realistic enough to be appreciable and enjoyable..
The other was a pathetic excuse to do away with a potentially
leathal situation as soon as possible in order to achieve victory.
In the first example, even though all of the guards are undone,
the roleplayer of the first example still does not know
if the guards are still hostile, because they must be reguarded
as real people. There may be a list of those guards who may
not have broken morale, or may feel vengeful, and want to
still attack.
This role player of the first example has to take this into
consideration because it was impossible to address each
guard with enough aim to deal them all leathal shots, and
still remain with enough time to not be apprehended or
killed by the guards.
The second example is godmoding because it's so near
impossible to instantly hit over 100 guards in the head
with a weapon that was materialized from no where,
and theres no garantee that it's light enough to be lifted,
or that all and every guard can be shot before they
are close enough to stop the godmoder from shooting.
It is realistic to assume that in some cases..
...numbers of NPCs are just impossible to do away
with them all at one time...
If you are to try an do so, you are to do so by
penalizing your aim, while using the limited resources
available to your character that are stated before
hand in a profile...
Otherwise....you are godmoding because you are
aimbotting among other things.

Gaseous Snake Revised: AMP
Quote from the anti-munch project:
"Gaseous Snake: A combination of McFly and Lucky Irishmen. They will often attempt to alter the RP right after the fairly playing RPer has made a post that will see the Snake's demise. They are not, however, as desperate as McFlys in what they change.

Q: When am I being a gaseous snake?
A: You are being a gaseous snake when suddenly

Godmode does this by giving the godmoder who
is abusing this style of cheating, complete or

actions of the other role players, and/or the ability
to bypass the abilities of the other role players as
if they did not exsist, and/or otherwise preform
actions that should be impossible.
The godmoder commiting this act of "creative writing

the threatening situation at hand that they take the

more actions that continue without consequence,
responce, or reaction to the actions of other
roleplayers, or completely bend or break the rules
of the commonly agreed on and understood
limitations set by the thread creator..
Q: When am I being a godmoder?
A: You are being a godmoder when:
1.) You do not respond, compensate,
react to, or suffer from the actions of
other role players, as if they never stated.
And ignoring the significance of current
situations.
2.) You preform any other of the actions
defined here in this revision of the AMP or
within the list of the origional AMP.
Q: How do I avoid being a godmoder?
A: By not ignoring the actions of other

to the significance of each situation
presented in the role play senarios.
Q: How do I know when someone else is

A: You will know when someone else is being
a godmoder because:
1.) They will continue to act as if nothing
has changed even when you preform an
action that would normally effect
them, and they will act as if no situation is
dangerous, easily over coming every turning
point. You will feel as if you had been ignored.
2.) They will only be hurt up until
a cirtain degree, and continue to fight
when they should have died or loss.
You will notice this form of godmoder,
describe how badly they are hurt,
and show how close to defeat they are,
yet will survive everything you throw at them.

is godmoding.
Q: When am I being an obvious oaf?
A: You are being a obvious oaf when
you design a source, or a character
that is a source of an advantage, that does
not include an explaination of why the

advantage is being used legally or not, and lack
of information to know of how to oppose the
threat. Needless to say any un-opposable threat,
is godmoding.
Q: When am I being an obvious oaf?
A: You are being a obvious oaf when
you design a source, or a character
that is a source of an advantage, that does
not include an explaination of why the
advantage origionates from anywhere,
(you or something you have) how the
advantages work when used, how they
are triggered into working, and what
the nature(s) of the advantages are.
Q: How do I avoid being an obvious oaf?
A: By taking the time to think about the
reasons why you should be able to get
the advantages you want from a character
or possession a character has, the origion
of the advatages, the nature(s) of the
advantages, like how and why they work,
and how you trigger them into activation.
Q: How do I know when someone else is
being an obvious oaf?
A: You will know when someone else is being
an obvious oaf because they will use advantages
that they know nothing, or not enough about
in terms of why and how they work, and why they
are legally origionating from their character or from
their character's possessions.
Puppet Master Revised: AMP
Quote from the anti-munch project:
"Puppetmaster: Another overly common occurrence. They basically take control of others' characters, often to extremes. It is usually ok to make tiny little changes to another person's character; for example if your own character launches a fireball at a tree, it is safe to assume that other characters will probably watch the tree get hit, and thus you can comment on that.
Depending upon the extent to which they puppetmaster, this is not necessarily a form of munching.

Clairifying Puppet Master: What is puppet master exactly?
The complaint about puppet master and the reason it is
considered godmoding, is because it strips too much
realism from the fantasy for it to be worthwhile.
Puppet mastering does this by giving the godmoder who
is abusing this style of cheating, advantages over
the whole being and behavior of another role player's
character.
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 controlling another
role player's character in complete instead of just
in part, as if it were their very own character.
Q: When am I being an puppet master?
A: You are being a puppet master when
you take control of another role player's
character on a scale where you should
only control your own.
Q: How do I avoid being an puppet master?
A: By recognizing the difference between
the small amount you should control the
characters of others, and the large amount
you should not control the characters of
ther role players.
Q: How do I know when someone else is
being a puppet master?
A: You will know when someone else is being
a puppet master because they will use take
advantage of someone else's character and
make it go places and do things that the
actual owner of that character should be
responsible for animating, and deciding
in their own character.

evasion impossible especially when an extremely large

Q: When am I impulsively twitching?
A: You are impulsively twitching when you dodge an attack
with perfect evasion, without using your best judgment
and honesty to "penalize" your self, or limit your abilities
to evade, for reasons as realistic as well trained or realitively
good opponent accuracy, interferance due to elements found
in the role play's enviornment, and personal flaws in evasion
that can even cause your character to fail to evade on his

Q: How do I avoid impulsively twitching?
A: You avoid impulsively twitching by
dodging until your opponent has removed
enough of your excuses to not be hit by their
attack, short of when your opponent godmods
to hit you. (this subject crossed earlier in the revision.)
Q: When is it alright to dodge my opponent?

2.)When your are perfectly aware of their underway

3.)When you are not restrained or disabled, so that

4.)When your opponent is not attacking in a method where
it is circumstantially impossible for you to avoid being hit
completely. (Because there are instances in combat where
being hit is unavoidable.)
Q: How do I know when someone else is an impulsive twitch?
A: You know someone else is an impulsive twitch when
they roleplay or emote a perfect evasion of an attack,
that they have no right to dodge due to realism or circumstances.
This means someone who is not impulsive twitch will take the hit,
and corresponding consequences, when faced with a situation where:
1.) They are trapped and can not avoid the oncoming attack.
2.) They are disable and can not avoid the oncoming attack.
3.) They are off guard, or unaware of the oncoming attack.

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.
"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.

As a compliment to this revised guideline there will
be updates that will keep up with the demand of
new violations, and new kinds of godmoding, so
that this revision will never be out of date.
As a secondary compliment, there will be a news
letter released, of "Gaia's most Unwanted Godmoders"
that will contain a list of names of the most undesired
godmoders on gaiaonline.com, so that readers of
the newsletter will know ahead of time to reject
someone from their thread before they have a chance
to enter and godmod.
As a delux compliment I will be opening an RP guild
with the soul purpose of catching godmoders in
the act of godmoding, investigating godmoding incidents
and convicting them, to be released as undesirable
godmoders in the hall of shame list, and "Gaia's most
Unwanted Godmoders" newsletter.
In order to obtain protection from this new guild
a thread owner only has to ask. It is advised that
every thread owner who does not allow godmoding
in their thread, provide a link to this thread on
their first page in order to further protect their
thread from the acts of godmoding, which would
then become a reportable incident, due to thread
visitors breaking the rules of the thread in an
unwelcome fasion, where the thread rules were
well explained.
Enjoy your time on Gaia.
