The plan with my server is that most good NPCs, if they see
one character attack another, will decide whether it is worth
noting (is a high level character attacking a newbie, or an evil
character attacking a good character, for instance), and if it
is, take note and the next time they see a guard, "report" and
then "forget" about the event.
How the guard's will handle that remains to be seen.

Well, on my server, events are sent to NPCs as they happen. I plan
to change it so that instead of calling a NPC function with the event
data as arguments, it finds the correct code for the NPC to handle
that event, and send the pass the event data to that code, if there
is any code.
