happened with the anduin player who has since left the game

mods approved powers on the app then when they were used came in and said it wasn't ok to use them

that's literally the mods' job if someone is misusing powers or is doing things they didn't mention in the app

this isn't deets this is just players once again blaming mods for not letting them get around stated rules

no

if a player apps in with a character who has the power of resurrection listed on their app the appropriate time for the mods to say "you can do anything except resurrect fully dead characters" is when they approve the app

that's their responsibility as mods to communicate and state clearly

if they don't do that and instead approve the power of resurrection, then when resurrection is being used in game come in to say no no stop, you can't do that, retcon it or cancel the whole plot, that is bad modding

anon there's a difference between "this character can potentially do this thing" and "I'm going to use this power to break the game setting". setting breaking powers are specifically against the rules.

additionally mods can step in whenever they want, it's their game. they get to decide when something is crossing a line, not the player trying to break the rules of the game they've apped into.

"how dare the mods of the game enforce the rules of the game" is a wild take

I know what happened with that and it was because the player wanted to use Anduin's powers to bring someone back from the dead, which obviously wouldn't be possible in a game where death and resurrection only happens because of the powers that be. I don't think there are many games that would allow a player to just bring someone back from the dead without stepping in.
