# If part of a MenInBlack type of organization, whose job is to uphold the Masquerade, killing those who know too much should only be done as a very last resort, and only if there's other reasons that make killing them justifiable, such as threatening to blow up a school filled with innocent children unless the secret is revealed.
# If part of a MenInBlack organization, using a form of bribery should be a go-to stance to keep the secret - such as finding a grant to that collage that the witness, or their children, wants to go to, funding their research and perhaps giving them assistance if a doctor or scientist doing research, giving them reports about our doings if they are an author, screenwriter or playwriter, using them as a local go-between if they are a police officer, or other such things that make the witness look good in the eyes of the public.
# If part of a MenInBlack organization, there should be a plan for what happens if the Masquerade is revealed and the ResetButton ends up broken. For all we know, the muggles might merely shrug upon finding out that the guy they sit next to on the bus everyday is actually from Mars, and act like nothing special has occurred.

# If I would normally be the Villain, but due to the actions of a BiggerBad and ClosestThingWeGot occurring where those who would normally be the Hero have been captured, or killed, by someone else, and it's up to me to save the day, I'm going to make one thing perfectly clear, I am the EvilOverlord of this area, and nobody's going to take it over, except me! I will also keep in mind those delightful Evil Overlord Vows and the Additional Vows. Might borrow some from the Hero Vows.

## If I have access to a castle, or some other building/place that can provide my forces with a defensive advantage, I will station as many of my fighters inside of it as I can. There is no reason to place my forces in front of it, as that just throws away any advantage. This is especially true in the event that I'm outnumbered.

# If I am the leader of a group of eight, or more, people, who are traveling, and a handful of bandits, beasts, or other hostiles, attack, I won't match them man-for-man - I'll have everyone read to take part in the fight. Odds are, the other side will decide to leave my group alone. Failing that, I have more people on my side than they do. Some might even be able to switch places with those who are tired, or double-team, or even triple-team, the enemy.

# In the event that centaurs exist, in one way or another, one thing I shall try to convince them to do is allow a rider on their back, especially in combat. Since they'll probably refuse, at least initially, I shall set up an experiment, where one centaur warrior trains with a human rider fighter for a month or so, learning how to utilize the various weapons centaurs and mounted fighters tend to use, and then have them engage in mock combat against another centaur and a rider on their usual mount. Should the centaur with a rider best the other two, or at least hold their own well enough that it was a struggle for the other two to beat them, it will be used as proof to allow for the possibility of getting centaurs to allow riders on their backs.

# In a {{Fantasy}} setting, I shall see to it that all possibilities are explored, especially where weapons and armor are concerned. For all I know, despite the usual stereotypes, my mages and archers might actually benefit from wearing plate armor. Of course, if metal armor isn't good for say a mage's ability to use magic effectively, or reduces the sneaking capabilities of my thieves, then I shall make use of the Gambeson, which is made from thick cloth, which should allow my mage to use magic, and for my thief to be sneaky.

# If in a Medieval-themed Fantasy, and I need to armor a lot of lower-class troops, I will look into that form of armor known as the Gambeson. Made from linen, it is crafted in layers, and is effective enough to protect against arrows, and reduce the amount of injuries from other weapons, and is just as good, if not better, than leather armor, not to mention cheaper and easier to produce. Plus, it would get me the patronage of Youtuber Shadiversity, who will at least say that I am awesome for picking this type of armor, as it is much more realistic. Besides, it also functions similar to a winter coat, which is useful in Europe-styled settings.

Other equipment will depend on specialty, such as medical equipment and trap disposal, but all will know how to use the equipment.

# Additionally, I can make alternative heroic identities to do deeds my SlaveToPR main heroic identity can't do. (Of course it is easier if I am a NonPoweredCostumedHero, have common stock superpowers like SuperStrength instead of more unique ones like [[Literature/{{Worm}} controlling insects]], or wear no mask and resort to ClarkKenting. I will take these into account when designing my main and alternative heroic aliases and costumes.)
