Another interesting thought. Surely, your RL mood influences game
decisions? If you're wound up, frustrated, and that Mob pushes you
over the edge, you take the extra risk to finish it, and die! Thats
happened to me once or twice ;)

Especially given very creative gaming, like RP, the players mood has
an effect on how they play, what they do, and how involved they get;
it can be quite interesting.

In killing based games, it probably does account for some IC
aggression and so forth. Hmm. Just goes to show that people are too
random to always interact as expected by computers. :P
