Please make all skills that rely on mutual allies work by default on members of your own city/commune. Additionally make this apply to DEFEND, because explaining to some newbie Daedalion's ganking that they have to ally you so you can kill him while he spams their screen with glamours is unnecessary and irritating.

On the off chance that this would screw with FFAs or wargames or sparring somehow, give an option in CONFIG (or I don't really care where it goes, just suggesting it) to disable this feature.

Note: no, this wouldn't imbalance any combat skills that matter, because otherwise you would just use love potion until all the people you were going to abuse it with were lusted, so don't even try that one.

Make it so that defenders don't have to be declared please??

Getting status on people who voluntarily join the fight is... annoying at the least. Also, I don't think this is a bad idea at all Nejii.

Yes please.

No way.

This really would be a wonderful change, though.

do ittttt or I'll...or I'll kill myself!

I worked hard to get my spam-y list of lusts..

I like it, though.

The only problem I can see with this is that it might cut down on the usefulness of that enemy/ally list-extending artifact. If this problem did not exist, however, I would greatly appreciate such a change being implemented, if not going a step further and implementing a full permissions-like system into allies. While having an automatic ally status between citymates is all well and good, the option to auto-enemy all enemies of your city or auto-ally all members of your family clan would be a nice touch.

I really don't think the artifact is a concern. That's mostly for extending enemy lists for demesnes and such, and I don't think it should be allowed to stand in the way of this change being implemented. I would still be saying this if I had bought one for some reason.
