Maybe I’m in the minority here, but to me I’d consider throwing a god-level NPC at your players explicitly to punish them for their behavior to fall pretty squarely under “screwing them over”.

yeah obviously that's how you see it because you only see things one way, throughout this entire convo.

I get that.

the rest of us playing ttrpg's don't see it as 'oh they've sent punishment' - no, the dm is tailoring the world to react to the player's shenanigans. should the DM just drop everything and cater to whatever whims the PCs devise?

you really don't understand any of this shit.

If that's the expectation that's been set up for the table, sure. But jumping straight from murderhobo shenanigans to "Ok here's a god to stop you, roll initiative" isn't the way I'd handle people playing the game in a way I don't like. I've been over this all already with another poster; it causes problems and might not even solve the ones you're using it to solve.

never dm'd shit but insists they know better.

... and now you're making wild assumptions just to discredit my point of view instead of making any actual counterargument.

I guess even if you were right (and you aren't) I'll never learn. Not with people like you around who refuse to explain their side of the debate.
