When you cause millions of dollars in damages and create panic with thousands of people, authorities start paying attention to you. They're gonna start calling you a terrorist.
It's not like Dex doesn't have morals, ya know. About a week ago, the hosts were arguing about how much damage the water causes compared to how long it takes for the fire department to come and switch it off.
So I messaged Dex, "It doesn't just affect one room. Won't the water eventually flow through the cracks in the doors and into the hallway; maybe also into other people's rooms?"
And they started talking about how they really didn't want to cause damage to people other than the victim. And that they didn't want to cause a lot of money in damages, either. The conversation ended in them deciding to just do a couple more water pranks and then move on to something else until they figured out exactly how much trouble they were causing.
They also, for the most part, don't like to get employees fired. And they don't prank old people or rooms with children (although I don't really see why).
So yeah. This may not be a very good argument, but just know that they could be a lot worse if they wanted to.
