Finite-game playerhood is like an as-yet-unfalsified scientific theory. You become a player when you manage to write yourself into history, but an NPC when others manage to write you out of history. In the long run, almost everybody is an finite game NPC.

Infinite game playerhood on the other hand, is a one-step-at-a-time state. To live is to play, to die is to become an NPC. Being written into and out of stories is irrelevant. All that matters is that you play to continue the game rather than to win.
