"GoGod" and "GoDevil" are specialized and well-defined terms in game 
theory just like "tree" is such a term. As such these are meant to be 
without direct connotation in normal language, however, they are very 
useful because of being well describing metaphors.

For GoDevil I have not seen other terms except different spellings.
For GoGod other terms are used as well:
- God
- perfect player
- omniscient player
- guru

Definitions for GoGod and GoDevil have been given relying on the 
concept of automatons.
