Speaking on behalf of MUSHes everywhere, I can say many do not coordinate activities through OOC discussions in advance.

I can think of maybe twice during the past four-plus years of running my game that we've determined the outcome of an event in advance, but we really don't tightly script what leads to the outcome, and we'll sometimes decide to veer from the planned outcome even in those circumstances where we've discussed it in advance.

I think the unpredictability of events is far more exciting and enjoyable than playing out certainties.
