Proposal: Non-player Monkeys

Reaches Quorum (10-0)
Enacted by Hix

Add a dynastic rule called “NPCs”

Some of the monkeys are not controlled by anyone, but are instead NPCs (Non-player characters). They do not count as monkeys when totaling quorum nor can they vote on proposals. However, they do appear in the GNDT and in the monkey line. NPCs do not have a section of moves on the wiki page. When an NPC is added to the gamestate, like any other monkey, they are put at the end of the monkey line. All active NPCs are displayed below:

The number of NPCs can be debated later if this passes. But if we eventually want a monkey barrel, a monkey tree and a monkey line, we are going to need a bunch of monkeys to keep them populated. And having donkey kong in a dynasty would be awesome.

Could even give NPMs (Non-Player Monkeys) special powers, if we wanted. Could have Donky Kong and maybe that one from Congo!

Maybe. Would have to find some way of making them automated yet not always triggering. Could be done by giving them certain sets of moves that simply cannot be changed.

Well, the point is to have them just take up space, not really do anything.

So now the real question is what the relationship between the line, barrel, and possible tree and the order of code execution is, right?

I like the idea of NPCs having defauly code, but what would happen if an NPC somehow achieved the contions for declaring victory?  I guess they wouldn’t win because they can’t post DOVs?

for Although I’m not sure they need to be in the GNDT as well.

Dance moves need to be able to have phrases like “if the monkey in a position five has more bananas than the monkey in position three”. If they were not in the GNDT they would not have any bananas and errors would occur.
