Powerplay

To unrealistically overpower your character's opponent, usually in a fight, in a chat, forum, or other text based RPG, and overstepping the bounds of realism in that particular universe. This includes a physically weaker character A beating a strong B in a fight because A's writer said so, or an inexperienced character beating an experienced one at their own game when it simply couldn't happen realistically. Related to godmodding and metagaming in that they're all dick moves

Becky used her strongest magical defense shield to protect herself

Susan kicked a hole in Becky's shield with her light blast and punched Becky in the face, in an obnoxious powerplay, since Susan just started learning magic and Becky has been practicing for years
