Hi K.C.

Never having been into gaming, I had to look up the acronym NPC, but after doing so, thought your essay did a pretty good job of looking at social dynamics. Saving this essay for future reference.

You might already be familiar with these, but a book that came to mind which you might enjoy is Eric Hoffer's "The True Believer", and a number of books about Cluster B personality types, particularly A. Lobascewski's "Political Ponerology: The Science of Evil, Pyschopathy, and the Origins of the Totalitarian State".

Cheers from Japan .
