Two characters are discussing their fears that a third character might betray them.  That should probably be via a private method of your choice.  It might also be something I'd at least like a report on, if not the transcripts, just so I can react properly should I have to take one of the characters over as an NPC for a scene or two.2. Two characters are chatting about childhood experiences while riding with the other PCs and a larger group on there way somewhere.  This is the kind of thing I'd like to see done right here (well, in the IC thread when it's created).  It allows another character not actually involved yet in a conversation or roleplay to join in.  I would include even things like teaching someone a skill, a side hunting expedition, etc.  Basically, my opinion is we're all adults (more or less), and OOC knowledge of things probably won't be an issue.  If we split up the group (for instance, two groups of PCs split up to search the woods, I'd keep that on here, but maybe have everything written with the 'spoiler' button (hides information unless someone hits the button)).  That way, if one group hears a rustling and themselves go quiet, the other group won't start wandering in their direction due to OOC knowledge.  Not that I think it would be a problem with this group, but it'll be an option if people want to maintain suspense, etc..</blockquote>
