Editing The Elite (section)

==PRT Response==
While the [[PRT]] designates the Elite as hostile, the Elite and PRT are not open adversaries.<ref name="PRT1">At the same time, however, despite the ‘hostiles’ designation in the files, the Elite are not open adversaries of the PRT.  Cooperation or interaction with the Elite is a hotly debated subject within the PRT, from the lowest to the highest levels; the Elite do reduce crime numbers where they are active, but they also aggressively target rogues and powerful parahumans the PRT would rather support.  While official judgment is pending, the present stance is to address the Elite on a case by case basis. - [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Swjz8BZZNE4bq6lTkHanTK4sJ-K_xVlFudxA16mYjH4/edit#heading=h.ry6hr0z1e3p2 PRT Quest (Anchorage)]</ref> Along the West Coast,<ref name="R2.2">Being based on the West coast, their interest was more on extending their hold than in scattering their people. Yes, they could have had some involvement in areas like New York or Brockton Bay, but that makes for long, long travel times if they want to shuffle people around. - [https://redd.it/5h4rzv Reddit comment] by Wildbow.</ref> cities often have the resident Protectorate hero group and the Elite as a resident villain group, with some scattered villainous organizations that get snapped up or stamped out if they get too big. The PRT is willing to accept that [[rogues]] will be inducted into the Elite as the cost of the stability that the Elite bring.<ref name="R2.7">So what happens (and what's happened, largely, across the west coast) is that you end up with the PRT as a stable hero group, the Elite as a stable villain group, and said cities have some scattered villainous organizations that get snapped up or stamped out if they get too big. While not ideal, the PRT is willing to accept that rogues will be inducted into the Elite as the cost of the stability that the Elite brings to the picture. - [https://redd.it/5h4rzv Reddit comment] by Wildbow.</ref>

Interaction with the Elite, or even cooperation, is a hotly debated subject within the PRT, from the lowest to the highest levels; the Elite do reduce crime numbers where they are active, but they also aggressively target rogues and powerful parahumans the PRT would rather support.<ref name="PRT1"/> The PRT’s current stance is to address the Elite on a case by case basis,<ref name="PRT1"/> with individual directors using varying approaches.<ref name="R2.8" /> Promotion is unlikely for a director that can't at least maintain the upper hand over the Elite.<ref name="R2.8">Well, they're willing to accept it as a whole, anyway. Individually, PRT Directors vary in how they deal with the Elite and the Elite vary in how they deal with the PRT. If a Director can't at least maintain the upper hand over the Elite in their town, they won't advance to bigger and better places. - [https://redd.it/5h4rzv Reddit comment] by Wildbow.</ref>
