This is true although you are more likely to find an m60

Hi,
I've read the article about game masters and their role in the wiki, but despite the many detailed information found here and there I would like to ask this question: What are the instruments of a GM to make the game experience rich?
For example: could a GM take up the form of a simple NPC (no name tag which would expose the GM to the players) and walk into a town with a foolish story? Lets say... Im a pretty slave gal' called Bonnie and Mordino's men are after me to take me' life... HELEELELEPEPPP! Then an NPC from the Mordino family appears on the scene and dialog continues... players can help either side without penalties like being shot by guarded town's guards or so...
Or NPC trader (a GM) wanders into another player's random encounter and offers the player a nearly brand new car (wreck) for just 1000 caps...
Or a sorry ass ghoul toddles into town and starts to molestate a town guard... just to bring some change to the game experience. Many months ago I've seen a case when super muties attacked NCR. Did the wastes got much safer now or what happened?
Or a postman wanders into town from the wastes saying that he's speed buggy ran out of gas while he wanted to deliver a holodisk to San Fran... and he asks a player if he or she could escort the postman to san fran for a small reward or something...
Or a gangster wanders into town half dead and asks for a drop of water not to die from thirst. Players can decide if they help the grunt or let him die in vain. A social dilemma to be good or evil is always good to have in role playing wastes...
Really... there are endless possibilities if GMs has the proper tools and instruments in the game to do such things... so again, my question is, what are the GMs really capable of in the game?
No offense to anyone... I'm just curious as I found nothing about this topic. Only a forum topic where the question was not answered and GMs got pissed up.
Izual:
Events, that's my part :P
Scenarios as you describe them happen really often; as far as I know every GM does set up some little scenes like this from time to time. They have the tools to make it possible.
However, most of the time some players ruin it.

"Give skin!!"
or
"NCR combat armor please!!!! Lol I dont want this shitty car"

"gtfo my encounter, I need to farm centaurs"

(Player accepts to drive you. He then enters his tent and kills you.)

"Lol gtfo noob you don't need water in this game"
These examples are all taken of my (and others' I suppose) experience as Game Master. Most often, when you try to do something similar to the situations you describes, players react in this way. It happened to me dozens of time when I tried to set up some nice little stories.
Of course, sometimes it goes really smooth, and both you and the players are happy. But that's yet too much rare.
Surf:
I can agree with all the experiences written above. One, out of 10 times it goes smooth and players have fun while doing such stuff though.
