Allow leader to choose a successor in case leader leaves.(accidently)

I m a leader and i think we should be able to choose a successor for leadership in case leader leaves.
We r always worried that we don't leave by accident,and so much effort that went into making the clan go to vain.So if r able to choose the person to be next leader when we first got leadership,then that fear will go away.
It is always good to first promote the person to leader when leader leaves clan but i m talking about the case in which leader leaves by mistake.We dont know who will be next leader if it is an active clan,we dont actually know who is the oldest coleader in clan.

So,kindly add the feature to choose a heir for such accidents.Knowledge about name of successor can be revesled to all clsnmates or can be limited to only to leader.

Thank You

How does one accidentally leave a clan?

I could be for this if there was a inactive handoff. People die, go to jail, rage quit. If a leader goes inactive for two/three months have an automatic handoff.

By pressing 'Leave' button,lol..There have been many such instances.No doub about it.

♥♥♥♥, u've kinda reminded me of Dexter's labrotory, oooooo what does this button do? DeeDee don't press the button! ...

But seriously now Martvol has a solid point of view why this feature should exist.

I'll second that as well... be nice to have a "hand off" set up, just in case something happens...

After pressing leave, your asked to confirm. If you accidentally hot a button twice in a row, it's not an accident

How does one accidentally leave a clan?

Suppose u got two accounts of similar level.One is co and other is leader.U have to go to some other clan for some purpose,instead of using the coleader account,u left with the leader account.THEN??
Those who have multiple accounts will understand the pain.

sign. :heart:

In case, I press leave in rush to my mini clan :caticon:

You do this already, by promoting players to co

Like many of the others above I'm not sure about how accidental leaves take place. However, I do believe that should a Leader be inactive for 3 months that the Leadership pass as it would should he leave without transfer. I believe that would be to the Co Leader with longest membership in the clan.

I do agree an amount of inactivity with a leader should equal automatic pass to a co.

Ask a leader how important 'not pressing the leave button' is..:D
especially when leader got multiple minis

If a leader leaves one of the co-leaders will become leader. Choose your co-leaders carefully and you'll be fine, there is nothing to fix here!

Who will give back a high lvl clan leadership once he gets it?
Unless its ur real-life friend or ur own account,i don't think he will promote the leader back.

Exactly. I did it 4-5 times the last month as I was using my main to clan hop to donate de spells while my minis were in charge. Quite easy to forget which account you are on at times and leave. No issue in my clan though as my co-leaders are co for a reason. After calling me an idiot (well deserved) it was always handed right back. Should never be a problem in a well put together clan regardless of clan lv.

Choose your co's wisely. Easy.

Next time, give leadership to a mini account of yours, and use your main for jumping; or vice versa. I did this a while ago when I was running my clan family.

Be vigilant next time. Your own carelessness isn't a reason for Supercell to fix it in an update. Good luck!

A lot will harp on you, but it's a big game flaw & sloppy coding that there is no prompt when a L leaves. A L could have multiple accounts & think they're on another when they leave... Just multiple ways to have a brain fart.
It's pretty simple, you get a "do you want to assign L before you go?"
other games do it. It's been a problem since I've been reading the Forums.

exactly!!!

Thats why, an alert will raise once u press Leave:

"Are you ready to step down?"

What's the question of 'accidently' here..?

Its by will, unless your friend does intentionally that.!!

Leaving with an leader account looks same as leaving with any other account,There is not much difference in overall appearance.
SO if u intend to leave with a non-leader account but u use the leader one.U just left ur clan leadership and in fact "by accident".

So, the better solution might be, to come up with an 'Reset leadership' option.

Any leader who lost leadership accidentally, might contact SC, and SC might add a feature to reset/restore leadership, if contacted well within no time. And a cooldown period for same should also be mentioned so as to not misuse the assistance.

Might this help a lot in such cases, although I'll be carefull while I leave my clan for some reasons.!!

Looks complicated,Instead they could just have the leader choose new leader before he leaves.

Huh, answers will be complicated for complex questions/situations.

:/

If you, as a leader, want a specific successor, all you have to do is: demote everybody.

Then, promote the player you want as a successor before promoting anybody else.

When a leader leaves a clan, leadership will pass on to the longest serving co-lead (the first co promoted)

/Affront

I agree with this problem. It happened to me several times, i play on 3 accounts and sometimes i leave the clan on the wrong device.
Once in my second clan, the game had chosen the oldest co.. but he was inactive. It had taken me almost 1 year to be chief of the clan again.
Now as a turn around solution, i keep secondary accounts as chief of my 2 clans and i move with the 2 mains... but an accident could happen again.

suggestion is very simple... just do not allow the chief to quit the clan unless he is the only member of the clan. This way, he would be obliged to chose a new chief before moving.

This is the simplest and most clear cut way to do it...

otherwise you know what the new complaint will be?
"I forgot i set x player as my successor and left the clan, their (x player) ipad was blown up in nuclear warfare and account stolen by spies and now I can't get leader back"

theres no perfect a system like comon sense. Check before you leave ;)

Common Sense; The less common of the senses.

The only solution would be a leader needing to make a specific selection of a new leader when the current leader leaves the clan. Or just leave the current system in place, it works more than well enough.

Accidents do happen, and over a couple years of playing the game it isn't unreasonable that eventually it happens to "careful minded individuals".

Its a good suggestion, it could have an alternate warning, like "hey bro your the leader, player xyz is about to steer the ship".

It wouldn't be hard to do and would have saved sc many many hours of replying to support emails.

I think this is the easiest to implement but still not 100% necessary.
but heck, it warns you when your leaving the clan, why not just throw one more line on the bottom of the warning about you been leader.. or even a generic message that says check that you are not leader... that way people that are not leader can't forget their place haha

Any Co-Leader should be trustworthy enough to pass the clan to. Why would anyone promote a co-leader that isnt?

Even the most loyal co can become greedy if he gets leadership of a high lvl clan.

We do this on a reasonably regular basis, particularly as a number of us promote our minis from time to time for management tasks, co go on extended deployments without internet and we visit allied clans.

It uses the current succession mechanism and is no different to nominating a successor, however is also allows the successor to have a successor without needing to nominate one upon taking the reins.

Far more effective, simple clan housekeeping and SC doesn't need to change anything

You are aware of the mechanics of the game .. but surprisingly many people are not .. :-)

/Affront

Too many of us leave the clan for various reasons for the demote/promote solution to work. We visit, we do wars in other clans. We are pretty an@l, but not even we are enough to demote & promote for that reason.

There should be polls in clan if leader is inactive for many months or leader leaves clan Bymistake

.. so, you want SuperCell to implement another tool that you will not use to solve a problem that you yourself can fix in at least 2 different ways within the current mechanics?

Calm down and promote a successor before you press the "leave" button .. it's not that hard.

I keep shifting leader position to my other bases and forget sometimes that I am leader :P

Had to sign up to reply. I completely agree with this idea. Not so much of the leader 'accidently' leaving (bit hard to imo) but more the fact if the leader becomes inactive or something personnel happens. Accidents happen and sometimes it could be the last for someone...

Personally my clan doesn't and will never need this, but I can understand why some clans would benefit

Leader going inactive for RL reasons is a problem. Rare but real. Me accidentally leaving ... not so. Each of my co-leaders would instantly promote me to my old position. Only give co to people you know and trust.

Helpful guide to improve your memory.

https://www.helpguide.org/articles/m...our-memory.htm

Something to add to this idea...

a. It is not about a leader who accidentally click the leave button. It is about a leader who becomes inactive (could be due to lost of interest, missing device, passed away, etc).

b. There is no need for a heir position to be created. Instead, if a leader becomes inactive for n weeks, he will be automatically be demote to co. System will autopick the next leader from the pool of co/elder/members. Just like the way it is handled when a leader left the clan as a leader. System will autopick the next leader.


Cheers,

When u leave the clan a co-leader will get leader position. You should be able t9 trust your co's :)
