plotters

Those hatching schemes

Plotters are people who scheme together, usually in secret and often for harmful ends: The plotters planned to overthrow the government.

A plotter is also a device that draws lines on paper, used for maps, architectural drawings, and engineering diagrams—distinct from printers, which work pixel by pixel rather than tracing continuous lines.
