Other players acknowledged as being allowed to affect ones gameplay.
Online games that are not directly played as multiplayer games can allow a limited form of interaction by letting players have restricted access to what actions that can do to each other, most often provide help through small pieces of aid. To let players control which other players can do this, one design solution is to let them acknowledge each other as Neighbors.
