A neighbor controlled by the game to help players learn the game.
Many of the massively single-player online games on social network sites make use of neighbors, lists of other players that have agreed to have interactions with each other. However, those beginning to play the game do not yet have these neighbors nor may they wish to start to interact with other players at once. Tutorial Neighbors solve this problem by providing a "fake" neighbor that is run by the system.
