So, I'm only on the forums for a few minutes and don't have time to read the whole thread, but I need to put something into this:
It is the role of GM's to cause certain situations in the game
It is the role of players to make a decision or act as they see fit according to the situation
It is then the role of the GM's to decide upon and enforce the repercussions of said decision/act, be it (as mentioned in Daj's original post) throwing up due to bad pie, or being spontaneously stripped.
A GM's are MEANT to 'godmod' as you call it, it is their job to arbitrarily choose how things play out, hopefully keeping as close to IC realism as possible. If a GM spawns a bunch of monsters at the mine, it's ok so long as the GM can think of a valid IC motive for them to do so.
If GM's didn't decide what happens and apply it, then absolutely nothing would happen because we have no scripted random game events and everything would suck.
