It requires a lot of OOC communication and a lot of people don't really like doing that. Our villains have hopes and dreams and things all on their own and really think they are doing what they think is right - but playing a Villain is really really hard when everyone wants a piece of you. You tend to get powergamed more often, you have to lose all the time so someone else can be the hero. It can be a PAIN, honestly. I've seen friends who are supposed to be undercover get meta-gamed as being Garlean simpy because they mentioned it OOCly. Somehow someone found out about it ICly when there was no evidence to prove it.
It's really a hassle sometimes
/endrant.
If someone just "happens" to find out, then I usually have my protagonist just question their reasoning through logic--assuming my protagonist uses logic, and I'm quite fond of them doing so. Generally the metagaming is destroyed ICly because of that and that character ends up looking like a fool and has to apologize. If they don't, then I just try to avoid RP with that person.
It's not that I don't like being caught/found out/whatever. In fact, I'm quite open to the death of all of my characters--including my main. However, I try to avoid people that meta-game knowing things. It just makes for a poisonous RP experience to keep those types around.
That being said, I also have a guy that is purely in it for himself with Faye as his minion of sorts, as well as both of us having Garleans. If you'd like to meet up/RP with us sometime, I'd be more than happy to do so~
