I think active alliance members should be able to choose a new leader via an ingame voting system...

so that when half the alliance goes awol, the other half can take over...

if there is no 2iC, or if they are inactive or on vacation mode too...

you've got a major problem.

happens all the time.

(yes, I searched for this topic, and found nothing, so far.)

Hmmm. Whilst I like the idea, I'm not sure how it would go.

Reason being, if you get enough rogue elements in your alliance, then they can over-throw the CO of the alliance.

The other alternative is that all active members leave and form a new alliance. Whilst you won't have a nice massive alliance bank, it will still allow you to regain control.

Mutiny!!!!!

lol i was looking around for the like button :p

ah, yes, thank for pointing out the most tangible benefit that would be lost...

in addition to the alliance's original name,

and original ID number...

I think the possibility should be there at least if the ingame leaders go inactive...

which happens more often than it should,

and could rescue semi-active alliances whose ACO never had the opportunity to appoint a 2iC...

so at the very least, a one-time shot would be nice.

Sure would make alliance politics more interesting, wouldn't it?

he's got a good point...

if voting were instituted anytime, at the will of the membership,

there would be a lot of incentive to create multis to infiltrate powerful alliances.

I would think "powerful alliances" would screen their membership a bit more carefully..

they do... well, at least the war mongering ones do...

I don't know about the peaceful ones...

even the war mongering ones have been known to have the occasional spy...

I agree with your suggestion, and considering all the counter arguments, I think it should only be possible if leader and 2ic are inactive/vacating for at least, let's say, 10 days. Only 2ic position would be available. If not mistaken, (I can be wrong, been a while I've not been 2ic), only leader can disband alliance, so that's why I say only able to become 2ic. If there's an active 2ic, I don't think there's really need to replace leader.

I love this ID I'd over throw LoCe and become leader WOOHOOO!!!!!

then maybe i should prevent that and kick you out while i still can ?

You wouldn't dare!

Can I keep the alliance Naq?

love it for its flaws multies could easily join empires and take over alliances and over throw the alliance then press the lil button called disband

or a war strategy where u could infiltrate all the alliances and all at once disband them causing chaos

only the ones who aren't nice would be picked in this case
you know who u are

perhaps simply any alliance whose Alliance Command is AWOL for over 14 days,

the active members who have been there longer than 30 days can petition Admin Sue or Admin Jason to appoint one of those members as ACO... ?

lol... IDK... just keep thinking on it... please?
