1 month though is not clear enough. Life problems can happen!
and if they do come back, the 2iC steps back down.
And in that case I'd argue that if the 1ic (Original) is not responsible enough or able to dedicate time to ensure the continued growth and flourishing of his faction, someone that is actively investing time into the faction's continued expansion should become 1ic fully.
Edit: Someone unwilling to dedicate the time to their faction, does not deserve to lead it
that's a very generic rule you have there and it is full of holes.
I could tell you several factions that are not active and the leader isn't doing anything apparently. Do you still want to coup them?
Let me tell you this: a faction will have its inactive times that doesn't mean you can overthrow the leader.
Finn was inactive in IRG for a while too but no one dared coup him.
Another thing: a 2iC should be informed and able to lead just like a 1ic. In a lot of factions, a 2ic is just someone picking their nose and not doing anything. If a 2ic has to lead for the 1ic , the diplomacy should not change automatically either. Otherwise that would be oorp reasons.
That's why people want erzie back I'd guess, because perhaps they want him in their pocket. Why would I otherwise matter who leads?
This isn't a question or concern about the server health. Nothing should change if a 2ic steps in to cover for 1ic while they are away
