Food Riot
Blood of the Streets...

I'm thinking it may be possible to incite a riot via babble-on. Using ambient emotes and spawning spastic amounts of NPC's ranging from judges, disgruntled mixers, lost corpies, and gangers. Then have them battle…even incorporating ambient things like CS gas and blah zey blah...

IE

Riotstart()
r=random

spawnNPC(r)
REPEAT x times

Then have different behavior for each type of NPC and a big ass list of ambient messages in a pool to randomly pick out...and maybe some way for it too automatically write a status report of the outcome...or possibly even a generic news story.

I've been thinking about gangs. I wonder how many NPCs the MOO can handle at one time.

Come to think of it, the aftermath would probably need cleaning up otherwise there'd be piles of dead bodies lying encased in a gelatinous bloat pie in the middle of Fuller.

From a scripting perspective you want to have a minimal amount of NPCs.
