By NPCs do you mean NPC NPCs or will some NPCs be PC as in other people who are trapped in the game? Also what about player killers? In fact that could relate to a negative quality, someone who refuses to kill a player character even when under attack because they know there killing a real living person.  Will there be guilds like in show? Shadow runners who have banded together to survive and beat the game?<br/><br/>Also for going over IMs I have to say I'm GMT so I have the whole timezone issue.<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>NPC's in this game, will be characters I control to push things forward.  There will be, of course, other trapped people from the "real world" in the game, as well as computer generated people.  You can write about seeing/interacting with the NPC's that are background, but they shouldn't be huge to the overall game, and only added for flavor.  I'll handle all the NPC's that are important.  Ehh, there could be player killers, but I don't want any of you guys being one of them.  In the case of the show, and in this, player killers are people who like to go out and kill other players, despite knowing they are real people who can die.  Killing someone if they're shooting you, or in the course of a run, doesn't count.  The negative quality you are referring to is, Code of Honor, in this case, you wont kill anyone who's an actual PC.<br/><br/>I've actually spent some time thinking about how to handle guilds, but haven't made up my mind yet.  For right now, this will change before the game opens, we're only focusing on teams, in this case, the team everyone will be on.  I will say that to beat the game, you won't need entire guilds.<br/><br/>[EDIT]  If you take on the negative quality, Code of Honor, with PC's being groups your character won't kill, that's fine.  It'll make runs a bit harder for you, and I expect to see a bit of ingenuity in your post's.  As a side note, you'll want to be very careful.  If you let someone live, that's an increase in the chances of you and/or a member of your team, biting the bullet.  Also, expect that your character will take some flak for this, in game.
