Inactive empires should no be eligible for leadership in the first place. However, sometimes active players become inactive after they are already elected. This presents a problem as the family loses their ability to make important decisions.
To fix this:
-
The leader should remain in place, as to not alert other families of leadership inactivity.
-
Internally, every family member should be notified and presented an option to revote.
- Other inactive empire are not eligible.
-
After 24 hours, a new leader is decided based on the votes submitted.
- This should not be based on total number of family votes possible. This will allow the family to make a faster decision without having to worry about apathetic or unaware semi-actives.
- If there is a vote-tie, the inactive leader remains until more votes decide the tie. Better to have an inactive leader than no leader.
In a situation where the leader is deleted completely, any votes are reset and the family either falls back to the 2nd most voted, or if there isn’t any, becomes leader-less.
