Hi,
The top rank player receive automatically the leader ship of clan. (no issue for top clan, default)
Playing and managing , given power to new chief , cool !
Player are responsable but some will give out to anybody ,you also need anwser: accept or decline
Am not sure were i stand whit this issue,mabe better leave it the way it is......
my response to you is
yes all players above you must leave the clan .... it a bit messy.
