Calling In Reinforcements?

It happens in anime all the time where the hero's get overwhelmed and a third party steps in to save the day, so my suggestion would be calling in reinforcements during a mission. My idea is that if two people are doing a mission above their rank and they are loosing terribly that another member of their guild who is higher rank should be allowed to step in and help them.

I'd say this action could only happen under a few situations.

• They must be above the post requirement necessary to normally complete the mission. So if the C rank mission is done in 20 posts, and they are 30 posts deep, and loosing then they are allowed to ask for help.
  
  
• At least one member must have a personal connection to the member they ask for help. So if it's two rookies of two different guilds then only person from either of the two guilds can step in, more then that however the rookie must have had an RP thread with the higher leveled person.
  
  
• The person they call in must have a mission thread free. This isn't a way for higher levels to gain more exp by lending helping hands. if they already have 3 threads, then they are busy and can not assist.
  
  
• This can only happen when it's two members of lower rank doing a mission of a higher rank. So two D performing a C rank mission can call reinforcements, but not 3 D ranks performing a C rank so as to not violate the three person per mission rule.
  

What do you think? Personally I think it adds a new level of assisting the newbies out there when they are in trouble.

It is certainly an interesting concept. It will work well with the lacrima system I am working on as that will allow members a way to communicate (communication lacrima) so as to make sense for someone to just randomly jump into the thread. Though i'd say the helper gets no exp and instead just gets the jewel reward.

I like the idea of someone else stepping in when things get though, but instead of saying that the players need to be above the post count of the thread I would say that if someone else comes to their rescue. The total post count of let's say 20 will be increased to 30.

I have a couple of deadlines to meet, but I will be taking this up with the "Powers that Be"

I really like this idea! Thank you for suggesting it.

We'll get this implemented properly ASAP.
