As a GM, we'd never approve a character with a "cannot be killed"-clause in the CS. Player characters should be hard to kill, but they should be possible to kill. It's not a nice move to kill someone early on, but in some RPs, it is fitting.
per now, irc is unavailable here
If you're not behaving, we'll have Echo buy some anvils for your heads, delivered by B-52's.
No worries. We're not get confused by the mistake.

Echo: we can't connect to IRC here, so sheetwriting will have to be without chat.
If everyone's overpowered, then no one's overpowered. (i.e. every single PC being OP is actually pretty balanced)

Add some magical laws. either those described earlier, or ones like "obliterating stuff means you get obliterated" or things like that.

Another option is to make them balanced with another opposite power, where they can negate each other. (fire/water, "earth/air", Life/death, "Healing/sickness", etc.)
Or you could add side effects. like: burn something, you get a fever. Freeze something, you get chilled. hurt something, you feel the pain. if anything, that'll limit most magi easily. of course, if that doesn't work and they still make their magic too powerful? Kill the PC.
If the RP isn't deadly serious... Make at least parts of magic a joke.
Another tip that we've found helps (if you're the GM)... Get a co-GM who you truly can cooperate with. Someone you can easily understand and be understood by. Doesn't hurt at all if (s)he is in an entirely different timezone. If anything, that means there are more hours in the day people can get hold of a GM.
seems our scheduled sheet-work today got postponed... We got called out at 4:30 in the morning for a SAR op. Only got back now (17 hours after the initial callout)
Nice log. What species of tree is it from?
this could both be helpful and confusing. We know there's quite a few who are online at hours most people are asleep in their region. But it could also help with the ones who are on in the regular hours for their timezone.
That is a very good outlook, Ruby. Far better than many tend to have.
