Okie Dokie - as our community gets larger, and filled with people who are NOT gamers, let's make sure we have definitions clear and front and center. (Male a definitions thread could be stickied to the top?)
To my newbie friends on here, here is the Urban Dictionary definition for NPC. (note: there will be some who add some finesse to this, but this should suffice so you understand the inference above and elsewhere.)
Top definition -- URBAN DICTIONARY
NPC
A play on video games "non-player character" mixed with a play on The Simulation Hypothesis.
An NPC is seemingly a human that is unable to think objectively.
We exist in a simulated reality and some humans take on the role of NPCs, spouting "opinions" they are programmed to spout and repeating in a cult-like manner.
Liberal: (Yelling) Fuck Trump! Ban guns!
Conservative: (Yelling) Fuck Hillary! Ban immigrants!
Friend: Bro, I'm sick of all these people just repeating shit...
Me: Its hard to move forward with all these NPCs.
Agreed, and yet, we still have to realize how completely out of this train of thought some of our newest people are. And some don't have the time to do the research -- working 2 jobs, raising a family, etc etc. So, let's help them as much as we can. Researchers or not, their One Vote counts!!

Kind of exhausting spelling shit out - would like people to do their own research.
