Hi guys!
So I have been wondering about how scheming, secret plans, backstabbing and such are handled, would be handled in role-playing terms.
Let me paint you a picture: I have a character, and he has a minion/partner/employee called Bob (other PC). And then there is Steve (also PC), who is member of an enemy/allied faction. I want to send Bob to talk to Steve, and offer him a deal, where he assassinates his faction's leader (could be PC), in return he gets something from me. I need to send Bob because my character wants to stay unknown in the plot, and doesn't want anybody to find out his involvement (maybe he's a "friend" of this leader, or maybe he's a well known figure).
My question is, how would this be handled in game? Everything is played out in story threads? I'm just thinking that sometimes metagaming would be unavoidable with these cases, it might even happen subconsciously, it wouldn't necessarily have to be intentional. What is the precedence for these kind of things on the site?
Thank you in advance for your help!
