Actually, yeah. Empty threats are much less effective than shit you can actually *back up*.
Also, much as the admins appreciate the showy stuff and villainous grandstanding, what they like most of all are *results*. That's why you got such a big cash bonus on that hotel heist I took you on. Because even though we didn't do anything super showy, we still brought home a lot of loot and that's what they *really* want.
Remember. As fun as it is to cause mayhem and chaos, you don't want to do so much that it makes problems for the team.
That's actually how I went wrong with the first heist I masterminded on my own. Me, Tyler, and Lydia stole the local baseball team's shiny mascot two days before the start of the season and totally wrecked the stadium afterwards. It was showy and impressive, yeah, and initially the admins loved it--it was the heist that got me Private--but when the Granbulls put up a reward for their missing mascot, it put the whole city into a frenzy and made it a lot harder for the Team to operate. The happy admins were suddenly *super* pissed off at the three of us and Carly and Connie had to save our asses by arranging a faked 'rescue' of the mascot by Connie before everyone in Goldenrod calmed the hell down. It took mugging something like twenty to thirty people in one night for the admins to finally forgive me.
Anyway. If you do want to kick their asses, I think Tyler's organizing something and it definitely looks like something where he'll take anyone who's willing. Scroll up and talk to him. Hell, maybe see if 'Solus' is going to need a pilot for his JRPG bullshit armor. You've got a lot of options here.
