Half the fun of being a tricky character, like a Rogue or Bard, is... well, tricking people. Unfortunately, tricking your fellow party members can be a problem, as it requires secret communication between you and the DM.
For example, I play a Rogue who has a skill focus in Disguise. I used this on the other players once already (they thought my character was a man for a month / three sessions; she isn't). However, I'm not done messing with the rest of them.
I want my character to disguise herself as someone they don't know and interact with one or more of them. Unfortunately, that would mean that I have to let the DM control her. How can I communicate to the DM what my character would do or say in any given situation?
I've considered secret vague hand signals for vague motivation/reactions/responses (Yes, no, positive, negative, etc.), and feeding specific lines to him under the table with m iPod Touch. Only problem with this is if I want to deliver any specific lines or instructions, there's going to be a delay, which might be obvious.
Have you ever pulled anything similar to this? If so, how did you handle it?
