In order to develop a more realistic approach to reputation building in massively multiplayer online games (MMOs), a new system needs to be developed that relies on social interactions of affected non-player characters (NPCs). To this end, this project has the goal of utilizing a method of passing information between NPCs within the game environment to facilitate social networking in the form of “gossip.”
An algorithm is to be developed that will simulate a real person with motivational priorities that will convey information based on these priorities to other simulated persons who will interpret the information based on their own motivational priorities in a network of communication.
