Undercover FBI Agents acting like "new players"

[TheGreasyChopper]

 So it has come to my attention that in numerous cases that the FBI files against different people, the supposed FBI Agents have good english skills and can obviously speak and roleplay properly "/ me sets up a ultra high tech camera and microphone in his nipple that records pictures from outer space(for example)". But once they contact the supposed criminal they suddenly become "want buy weed????" "u sell weed???" "where i come???"

 Can someone explain why they do that? And why can't they continue their good way of RPing(setting up cameras/recording advertisments) once they come in contact with the "criminal"? Are they mocking players with less roleplaying skills? Are they trying to impersonate someone?

Few examples:

These criminals are more likely to fall for the undercover gig if the agents behave like new players. The criminal will think people talking like this aren't likely to be undercover agents, but now that someone's been caught red-handed by the FBI like this, that's probably gonna change the criminals' minds on the matter.

Point of being undercover is to not make hints on your actual self, thus to not be exposed. It already is hard as it is to remain undercover with some staff members and players abusing some script functions to find out who is undercover. Adding to that, if we were to speak as we do, it'd be 100% impossible. Oh and also, /whenmade is there. New player is someone who recently registered, not someone who is bad at speaking English.

It's fitting into character, you're much more likely to be believed to be genuine if you speak in a less fluent way, than if you add a full stop and capital letter to every sentence.

I can think of a few people who've been here since 2008 and still don't quite 'master' the English language, to put it lightly.

Seriously though, I'm with Matthew on this one. Can't even imagine how hard it is for the FBI to catch someone undercover nowadays, or how hard it is for criminals to get caught.

Since point of it is not to expose then what is it? all i see is mafia members had turned into FBI

What do you even mean? the point is to gather evidence and intelligence no?

I've encountered a couple of them in my past :| Damn it, I suck at this. But really, it depends who the agent is in my opinion. I've seen better RPers than myself go UC and actually succeed in busting someone, then there's Amir Camorra

How would it be 100% impossible?

Amir Camorra and Shane_Kraskov... Who busted meh..

[.Matthew.]

Because I can list many ways on how easy it is to be exposed. If we were to use full English grammar and stuff, then that'd add one more way to it.

Does this really have to be explained? 

The whole point is to pretend to be someone you're not.

Alright , good luck hiring criminals to be FBI.

Fbi is a small clique of carefully chosen people so it's pretty impossible to get into it to roleplay corrupt. Yet FBI is willing to act like chimps and basically troll in roleplay just to look like members of less skilled (rp and/or english wise) criminal groups. Kind of a cheap move but ok.

Cheap move to be able to do your job efficiently and disguise yourself well enough so criminals have no clue what's is coming is a cheap move? Where do you people come up with this stuff..

Well at least people will think twice now when they say FBI isn't active enough.

By trolling in roleplay? Just so people think 'ah another random noob drug farming kid'? If you can't do it by properly roleplaying then don't do it at all.
