Speaking of which; here. Got told this plan would gain more traction if we already had a poster sooo.....
That is not at all how relationships between two neighbouring powers work, especially when they're reasonable friendly
Great, thanks a lot AProcrastinator, now I want to stab lizards!!
Friendly powers often spy on each other. Sure, it isn't acknowledged, but it happens.
See the thing is Shego actually considers herself a CEO and not a leader while Doof has the opposite issue. She just as likely not to care( because law enforcement is the police's job while her's is to make money) as to care.
In fairness, it might be a black ops unit or similar that follows quest mechanics rather than national action mechanics. I don't expect it to be, but I don't think it's mechanically impossible just because of the rolls involved.
Okay that's still assuming that that specific reading of the map is correct, ignoring that the spread of a criminal organisation is nothing like an actual war, that there's been absolutely no solid mention of them being in our territory which their almost certainly would've been if they were and that we have no reason whatsoever to believe that waiting one turn to talk to Shego would be disastrous for some reason
It really isn't, she's a very powerful neighbour and one of the only ones that we aren't almost certainly going to be hostile with
Again assuming that that reading of the map is right and if it is her and we have a good relation with her A) She might involve us in it which could be advantageous B) Give us a sample of some of the drugs which we might be able to improve and C) Might be able to come to an arrangement between equals who respect each other to keep her super drugs out of our territory
Only if it actually is in our territory, which it very well might not be, and reaching out to her makes future investigation easier because our agent said wouldn't need to avoid her forces as well as the drug ring itself
She respects being respected and competence, if we walk into a meeting with her and say "Oh by the way I had my men infiltrate your territory and investigate that drug ring here's what we found out" her respons won't be "wow you're so strong and cool Doofenshmirtz" it'll be "you did fucking what!? The sheer disrespect it takes to come into my territory and look into my business before you even had the decency to reach out to me is ridiculous"
Of course they do but they don't infiltrate criminal organisations right under the noses of other friendly nations that haven't done anything to them without at least reaching out to that country
You're really missing my entire point and tossing out stuff I've never even suggested, and continue to hammer on the same arguement over and over instead of actually addressing anything I've said, so I'm done engaging with you.
You've obviously never played Shadowrun. It is completely believable that the drug ring has infiltrated our territory without us knowing, especially given that they're selling nootropics. Brain boosters. This is a very smart operation, I can totally see them flying under the radar as best they can. And with disguised supers backing them up, they can take over other gang's territories with ease. The Crips and Bloods are old news. The Hell's Angels had their wings plucked. There's a whole new breed of criminal growing in the underworld, and we need to actively know what we're up against. Playing mushroom means we get caught on the backfoot when things inevitably start blowing up.
As far as I can tell I've addressed everything you've said and the argument I keep,repeating is that the entire basis of you're argument is based on an assumption
If we were in Shadowrun you'd be right but we're in a quest where we get an update every turn of what other people are up to, have gotten a list of basically every town they've expanded into and with how noticeable the effects of their products are it would be extremely obvious if they were active in our territory
As is yours. The assumption that waiting will be okay. Because you know what? It's been "Oh, one more turn won't hurt" for the last four turns. Every turn we wait? They get more addicts added to their ranks. They spread their influence just that little bit more. They get one more person thinking about how they can get powers, even if it means risking death. The drugs are "more stable" not "completely stable". There are still people dying from them. Which hasn't seemed to register to you. This. Is. A. THREAT. Treat it like one!
As far as I see it, everything's an assumption until we investigate it. Once we get to turn planning, You decide whether or not to search for facts.
