Please, forgive the double post, but, in another game with which I am involved, if the leader of the group becomes dormant, only the members who are also not dormant get to vote to elect a new leader. Since this is an issue of groups being crippled by a lack of activity, perhaps it would be prudent to suggest (1) when the group leader reaches 500h since last activity, a coup may be initiated by any active group member which creates a vote between the incumbent and the initiating member, (2) only vote by group members who are also not considered inactive--less than 500h since last activity--are counted, (3) once a coup is initiated all "active" members get one vote and the vote must be competed within 24 hours, (4) any non-voting member is counted as voting in favor of the incumbent leader, and, (5) should the coup fail, the member who initiated it may not attempt another for say 96 hours, but any other member may initiate a new coup as soon as the previous coup is ended but not while an existing coup is in play.
most of the above is how i would like to see it work - however i think 24h is too short a voting phase...
heres how i would write it
(1) when the group leader reaches 500h since last activity, a coup may be initiated by any active group member which creates a vote between the incumbent and the initiating member,
(2) only vote by group members who are also not considered inactive--less than 500h since last activity--are counted, ( although this maybe hard for emi to code, so i would agree to anyone who logs in during the 7 days voting phase is allowed )
(3) once a coup is initiated all "active" members get one vote and the vote must be competed within 7 days,
(4) any non-voting member is counted as voting in favor of the incumbent leader, and,
(5) should the coup fail, the member who initiated it may not attempt another for say 7 days, but any other member may initiate a new coup as soon as the previous coup is ended but not while an existing coup is in play.
@brok - you know me so well
