Special editions + tons of cop/agent/CEO sleepers for getting advance warning for raids is quite powerful. Hell, half my roster was probably agents/CEO's/cops that I couldn't convert in time.

I always just found it peculiar that the police are always able to pin the crime on you 100 percent of the time. The fact that organized crime rings exist at all without being bombed to hell by the national guard is evidence enough that this is not strictly the case in reality.

You are overachieving.  In order to get advanced warnings, you just need any type of sleeper.  Janitors warn you as well as CEO's.

That's not to say that CEO sleepers aren't great for how they influence the issues and leak you info.  But if you are publishing special editions, you don't need many of each type of cultural sleeper.

Actually, you do need CEOs if you want advance warning of mercinary raids. Janitors at the police station will pick up on police raids, but janitors at the corporate HQ won't pick up on mercinary raids. The double standard exists because the police station has many people working together with a paper trail in their hunt for the LCS, while the corporations are working extremely secretly on planning an illegal attack, and destroying all evidence as they go. You need someone extremely highly placed, someone likely to be "in" on the planning of a raid like this -- and that means getting CEO sleepers.

(referring to cops) Most likely, perhaps due to a mistaken belief that higher ups should know more...

Yeah and %70 most of my special edition material did come from hackers, so leaking maybe is not so useful... Nevertheless, it is fun watching your sleepers leak you docs every once in a while...

Do merc sleepers warn you of raids? And is the same true for the CIA? I'd imagine they would be more secretive...
