In terms of sheer skill PL DONT - and never really have - need Goons to help take down an entity like IT/Bob/Kenny etc inside PL's own borders; In terms of "ooh bob, lets roadtrip" then Goons will pop up (as they have done) and utilise their "blue against molle" status with PL/SoT to get some action going, but its not an actual request thing;
People go where the targets are and for Goons, IT are an old enemy, so make for good targets.
Now as to whether Goons read as much into IT's banner as others do/will, we'll have to see. Biggest test for IT, will be in the usual post-expansion haze that sees their biggest "enemies" likely to have more people back playing due to expansion newness - although EZ will be evicted by then (I hope).
Tower count in PNQYY is weighing more towards IT, so I can hope as I suggest above.
