QoL change: Inactive leader replacement after 90 days inactivity

[TheClanimals]

It's been said that the 90 day counter starts the day the update goes live.

Clarification would be nice...like I said before this is big news for my clan, and would like to know if our Leader is gonna change day of update or not...

This is what I have been told by a Supercell employee.
That said this was a few weeks ago and well you sure never know if they may still change these details last minute.

Quite simply no. once the update happens. the 90 day timer will start.

I have painstakingly read this whole thing. my kudos to Kitty Kat K for not snapping!

my thoughts:

I feel like I understand the mechanics of what will occur once the update hits.

my question, or maybe its more of a request is:
Will the current active leader have a way of knowing who the successor Co-Lead is? if not Can we have this information provided in some form? like on the edit page for example.

this goes in line with someone's request to actively designate a choice successor. not sure how plausible it is, but its a request.

The clan I run is super chill and very laid back. however I do not have a lot of inactive members in it because I feel like they don't have anything to add to the success of the clan moving forward. IMO they can sit idle clanless on the server, or in someone else's clan should they start playing but not come back to our clan. (In the case of long time Co-Leads; I have a process to demote to Elder->Member->Kick/Invite.. within the Season... so no 90day timer on my clock... I was granted Leadership of this clan from an old acquaintance who did not want to tow the load anymore. I implemented some changes so I don't think the longest tenured Co-Lead will ever be inactive on my watch.

I am in the boat of Call me H, where I hop from 'my' clan to the clan where I have some buddies and my main acct's clan frequently for war and/or donations... so knowing a potential successor would be good information as an active leader.

anyhow I do like this system despite the not so popular opinion of some posters in this thread.
currently its not a problem in my clan, and I would hope that if anything my clan mates would uphold the activity 'policy' I have in place now should I step down, or something happens that I cannot play for extended timeframe.

I don’t think we will be able to see who the successor will be but I agree that this would be a nice QOL. Although I have to wonder if that wouldn’t be problematic as you can’t really change it unless of course the co in question leaves the clan temporarily.

Having the option to appoint a successor is also one of those things that may be nice to have however it can’t fully replace this system as we still need a system like this in case leaders don’t appoint a successor or the successor would be equally inactive with no back up. In those cases a clan with an inactive leader problem would be back to where we were before the update with no solution. ( If I remember correctly it was initially suggested to have the appointment option instead of the automatic system )

so if a player is having a break from the game and has a good clan with just them in it.. i.e. a level 10 clan.

if they leave the clan open and someone puts a th4 in their after the period of time will that clan be transferred to the th4?

if so, thats not good!

i think it’s says that the leadership passes to the senior co leader. In your scenario the th4 would not be a co leader. Presumably the leadership title would not be passed on.

No point when you can have co leaders my 8 year old is my clans leader he’s never done anything for the clan and as a co leader I can do anything so no point..

[wynnsiensheng]

Personally, I think this is a well rounded balance. Support have always had the discretion to remove inactive leaders from the role, and if they did so, it would always go first to the longest serving CO, and if there were no cos, the longest serving elder, if no elders, the longest serving member.

This makes it automatic rather than discretionary, and tweaks the succession rules a bit so that members never get it, and it is only active cos or elders.

I can understand you not liking it at all, but it has been asked for frequently, so many people do want to see it. I suspect if you had been a member of a clan where the leader just disappeared and never came back, you might feel a but different too. Idealism sometimes has to give way to practicalities.

from what I have read, it only passes to co leaders, never elders? Or did I get that wrong?

A lot of clans who face the inactive leader issue beg to differ.

It can pass on to elders if there are no active cos but cos always get priority.
It cannot pass on to normal members.

What happens if there are no elders or cos? In that case I would assume the leader would just stay leader?
