How is leader designated?

[LeeroyMcKlint]

Is he highest ranked in terms of trophies or has he been there the longest? If it's the latter the wiki is wrong… didn't think it had anything to do with trophies.

He's definitely not the one with the most trophies... however, he is the other member who has been with us the longest.

Case closed. Moral of the story is don't believe everything Chief Pat says or what you read on the wiki.

We, together, as a thread, have revolutionized the thread. We have changed the game as we know it forever. Spread the word.

How and who become leader after you leave is interesting, but not as much as to why you thought the game would 'hold' your place while you're gone.

Ah - I see. Well, I didn't assume that I'd keep my place as leader. I knew that upon my departure from the clan, someone else would become leader instead. What I didn't know was that the game would assign the leader automatically. I assumed that when I pressed the 'leave' button, the game would ask me to state the new leader of the clan before I left. What interested me was that instead of doing this, it allowed me to leave and assigned the new leader itself. I wanted to know how the game decided who the leader was going to be and why.

You can decide who becomes the next leader--you promote them before you leave.
