On the Victory, we have several 'Victory Villain' email accounts set up for playing MSPNPCs.  At the beginning of a mission, the CO takes volunteers for people to play these roles, and assigns them these accounts.  During the mission, no one knows who is playing the antagonists; the individual MSPNPCs don't even know who's playing the other roles.  We have found that this adds to the suspension of disbelief and makes the game more enjoyable.  At the end of the mission, identities are revealed.
