I don't use real players in my games, I use computer-generated ones.

It doesn't just generate players, though, it generates the backroom staff, too. Here's one of the ones it came up with:
There was a character in the Just William books I read as a child whose name was Jamieson Jamieson (or something similar). I always thought this was amusing.
It's nice to discover that I find Craig Craig equally amusing.
