I've found that the key to helping keep stories running and avoiding the inevitable swarm of heroes who will do their best to put an end to you just because is LOTS of OOC communication. Villains have stories to tell, too!
But playing them out in the open for public consumption is sooo tricky and many times difficult, because everyone wants to thwart/listen in/get the better of you with their heroes. Â I like for villainous plots to simmer and develop over a period of time and build!Â
I have had *vague* and *somewhat scheming* conversations in public (always emoted to be really quiet or kept low) between the not-good characters because I want them to be existing with the rest of the RP world, but actually doing outright villainous things? Likely that will be in a controlled setting and only with players I trust.
