I think that if I'm not an enemy of what a mobile is loyal to, I should be able to influence it into joining my clan, and I could then hear its cries for help. Hoorah for clans getting involed with areas. The Guardians clan could help Dairuchi regardless of who controls it, a Hallifax clan could help the trills/lucidians etc. I wouldn't expect any bad complications since they won't actually do anything for you besides call for help, and you could kick them out at any time.

I already suggested this (or something -similar-) ages ago and it got stomped by Auseklis. Later the same idea was brought up and stomped again. Not going to happen.

*stomp*

P.S. Estarra, give me a stomp smiley.

I still sort of like the idea...

Until you think about how it could be used. Serenwilde could influence faethorn knights, get instant warning when someone attacks. If we were meant to hear shouts for help, we would already.

Sneak raids would become a thing of the past.

Hmm...that is an excellent point. I will have to recast my vote for :stomp:

Erm, we do hear shouts when they are attacked. Or maybe that's just the Moondancers? Meh.

It's just the Moondancers. Appears in CT colour though.

:is stomped:

What kind of influence persuades adders?

Faethorn knights call out to Moondancers or Shadowdancers depending on Faethorn's loyalty, as far as I know.

Or, more precisely, they call out on the spirit channel, so it's probably not -necessarily- bound to either of the dancers.

moondancers and blacktalon

I think we figured that was a bug though.

Oh.

And I think clans should do this with divine permission (hallifax and gaudiguch clans for example).
