Hmmm. I know you're talking about meat drones but for some reason the first
thing
popped into my mind [or at least what's left of it] was 'roll players'. Terry

They are what they say... drones... controlled by a player....
If you mean having a player type as a drone... well thats being a bit
stupid... but if you mean are we thinking about roll playing drones...
even if they are terminator types.... well as far as I could see it the
drones were just meat... ie no feelings or thoughts therefore nothing to
roll play.... if you wanted to take it to AI in a robot and control it as
a player type... a bit difficult everything would have to be flawless
logic and thought out.... cause thats what a robot is...

That is unless an artificial intelligence can also be an artificial
unintelligence and you can teach a robot how to make mistakes and make a
blonde robot =P (heheh)
