Player Entity

Olympia: The Age of Gods PBEM (Oct 4 2000)

#### 1.3.4.6: Player Entity

Each Olympia player faction has a number. This number is represented by an entity in the game. However, unlike a noble, this entity is mostly used as a place holder for the faction. No one can see the faction entity, and it can issue very few orders.

For example, suppose player Fate [xt8] has one noble Osswid [5499]. Fate does not exist in any location, so it does not receive a location report, and no one can see it. However, Osswid, being the player noble for the faction, is sworn to Fate [xt8]. Fate may execute only a limited set of administrative orders.

Nobles, not factions, issue most orders. Do not try to `form` or `recruit` with the player entity. For most turns, the player entity will have no orders queued for it.

The orders a player entity may issue are:

- admit
- format
- name
- quit
