    Default Question for Tarrant

    Dear Tarrant,

    I know you can't discuss disciplinary action, but I have a hypothetical question for you:

    If the leader of some random guild were to be...say...temp or perma-banned in game, would the Successor become the leader? I have no real reason for asking. It's just a random question that popped into my head and now I must know the answer...really

    Your Best Friend,

    I think some people mentioned that after 90 days of inactivity the successor can 'Disown' the leader? Not sure about this, just some things I've heard.
    In case you didn't already notice, my posts that end with must NEVER EVER, under any circumstances, be taken seriously.

    He will probably answer you if you PM the question to him.

    After some period of time, I think it's 30 days (maybe 60), the "usurp" button will appear for the successor. Clicking it will make the successor into the leader.

    The successor would not automatically become the leader - the leader would need to be usurped for that to happen. Hypothetically.

    Thanks Tarrant. Not what I hypothetically hoped for, but I appreciate the response. Hypothetically.

    If you have been designated as successor and they haven't logged in for 3 weeks, you can usurp. If they haven't designated a successor, it can't happen.

    Hypothetically, I have done this on my founder's guild due to a 25 year hiatus.

    But if they designated their own alt as successor, or no successor, then the guild is SOL if the guild leader leaves the game or is suspended.

    If it wasn't for airships that wouldn't matter much, break and reform the guild, but now...that could hurt.

    I believe the word you are looking for here is Coup or Coup d'état


    coup d'état [(kooh day- tah )]

    A quick and decisive seizure of governmental power by a strong military or political group. In contrast to a revolution, a coup d'état, or coup, does not involve a mass uprising. Rather, in the typical coup, a small group of politicians or generals arrests the incumbent leaders, seizes the national radio and television services, and proclaims itself in power. Coup d'état is French for “stroke of the state” or “blow to the government.”


    And this has been your English language lesson of the day

    Hmm, I had taken this to mean that he was really into pigeon noises. Now I'm not sure what to believe.
