My thoughts were that it becomes a group effort, with everyone who is absorbed getting to talk into the ling's ear with information they already had on the round or tips for how to do something or just pointing things out. A second (third, fourth, fifth...) set of eyes is always helpful. It could lead to creepy situations where the ling is talking out loud or whispering to the voices "inside" of it about what they should do next.
Part of what makes it interesting to me is how people you absorb will act and interact with you: maybe they were working on a secret lair that you now have exclusive access to and wouldn't have known about otherwise, maybe they were the clown and only honk incessantly? The potential is boundless.
I get that it might not be everyone's idea of fun.. maybe you could choose to leave and ghost but then you couldn't reenter the ling? As far as cloned people, they just get cloned as usual and it's no skin off the ling's back. It would be the same as a person opting out of being one of the absorbed.
