+An '''MSPNPC''', or Mission Specific Player Non-Playing Character, is an NPC assigned to a specific players for the duration of a mission.  They are usually antagonists, and are simmed using an anonymous e-mail address.

+===Anonymous Email Accounts===
-On the Victory, we have several 'Victory Villain' email accounts set up for playing MSPNPCs.  At the beginning of a mission, the CO takes volunteers for people to play these roles, and assigns them these accounts.  During the mission, no one knows who is playing the antagonists; the individual MSPNPCs don't even know who's playing the other roles.  We have found that this adds to the suspension of disbelief and makes the game more enjoyable.  At the end of the mission, identities are revealed.
+At the beginning of a mission, the CO takes volunteers for people to play these roles, and assigns them each to an anonymous e-mail accounts. During the mission, no one knows who is playing which MSPNPC, including the other MSPNPCS.  We have found that this adds to the suspension of disbelief, removes expectations from the MSPNPCs, and makes the game more enjoyable.  At the end of the mission, identities are usually revealed.
 ===Simming an MSPNPC===
+MSPNPCs are simmed just like any PNPC, just be sure not to include information that would reveal your identity. These are a great chance to try something new or challenging with a character, since they are designed to be temporary.
