Your responses indicate that when the reward is implied rather than promised, you don't consider stochastic violence to be murder. You also believe that self-defense always excuses violence, except in the case of truly massive collateral damage. The fact that your answers are entirely consistent with the moral principles you value and do not change depending on the identity of the perpetrator or victim strongly suggests that you are NOT an NPC. Congratulations!

I would say that the vast majority of people agree with your responses (and I do too).
