[How do I reassign / change my clan leadership?]

Hey guys

Thanks much for all your help and suggestions. I really appreciate it.

As I'm already spending way more time that I'd like on SM, I'd like to let this case rest.

@Miron_Mironovich Miron, you have a good point there, I've tried in clan chat to reach out to the person but to no response, hence no contact, hence no case.

Regardless of whether the Admins will or will not take up the case, based on whatever reasons, I've already decided to go the way @chis suggested, which is to have the leader designate start a new clan and go from there because like I said up top, I'm already spending way more time than I'd like on SM.

So there it is, case closed. It's time to move on. I wish you all well.

ShaunTheSheep

My advice is to have Doc or whoever it is to who you wanted to transfer leadership start a new clan. The people who are worth having will follow if you tell them where to go in advance. The rest will cull themselves so you don't have to worry about feeling guilty as you lose the dead weight.

Hey Chis. Thanks for your insight, help and advice rendered. Appreciated. Having the leader designate start a new clan is an absolute last resort but I guess I've hit a wall with the admins and it's time to bite the bullet and move on.

It's been great to be of acquaintance Chis. I wish you all the best in life

To you who have taken their time to give your views and suggestions and helped point Alexander to this thread, a big thank you as well!

*** For the sake of all clan leaders, it would be great if SM implemented an option of sorts in the Leader Control Panel for a current leader to pass on the position to a person of their choosing. We shouldn't have tp jump through hoops or do it in a huge roundabout way

Shaun, I do hope they do the right thing on this and either restore your clan leadership to you or to your chosen successor.

Thanks Chis. I do hope to my chosen successor if Alexander changes his mind lol. Because without the option in place for a clean and straightforward transfer, I'll have to jump through hoops coupled with a prayer and take the risk of having leadership auto transferred to another clan mate all over again. It'll be a circus, I know SM is an RNG but this just isn't it lol

as a former member of Shaun's clan I would be happy to stand up and say "Yes, Shaun was undoubtedly the leader of that clan both in the official title and in how he related to the clan members. He was an excellent leader and I do not believe that clan could be what it is today if it were not for his leadership of it."

Wow thanks a bunch for the testimony and glowing assessment! Many have joined and left the clan and my sincere apologies for not being able to recall who you are, or perhaps your SM game name is a different one.

I could include this in my CV and apply as CEO of a certain company ;D lol

Not sure why you hammer it in so much, but I always just tell people on discord to email instead.. support@gatogames.net will do the trick.

 

But for this particular issue, while we can change clan leadership (PM or mail me for instructions) we can't in your case, sorry. Figuring out who truly truly truly owns a clan isn't really realistic - we consider the current leader the clan owner - they have to contact us asking for a change if they want it.

Thanks for your response Alexander

Would you reconsider if I can bring you proof like getting some of my - clan chat active english speaking - clan mates to come here to testify?

Before I attempted to transfer leadership to my chosen clan mate, I had a PM session with him via arena chat, if anything just to make sure he was up for it. Perhaps you could look through the history if it could possibly be done?

I won't mention names here but I did mention their names and included my player ID in my PM to you. Surely something can be done, no?

Anyways I look forward to your response soon, if anything so that I can decide what to do moving forward.

Thanks for your time Alexander

That’s not true. I was once involved in a clan leadership transfer with a developer and 2 other clanmates.

that's nice to know rc. sorry i somehow missed ur first msg.

the first thing i did was send Alexander a direct msg n invited another admin into the conversation. no response

in the meantime tried to connect with the 'new leader' via clan chat. n when that hasn't worked so far, invited the rest of the admins including the moderator into the conversation as well. 2 of them admins have read the msg but no response

that's when i decided to ask here in the forums. all admins n moderator r tagged here as well

did i miss out a step or something? would u have any suggestions on how to get hold of an admin n get a response?

thanks a bunch RC

Hey Shaun, its machine, you think he's possibly ignoring you because he now has the position of clan leader in a good clan?  Not to look on the negative but he seems to be online a lot and seems to be clearly ignoring you.

hey Machine. yea, you're right there buddy.  i guess gotta finally throw in the towel & move on. kinda sad that one mistake and 1.5 years of work shot with no recourse.

@Devs: guys could look @ the possibility of a leader transfer option in the Leader's Control Panel. just a thought

Well I changed leadership with someone

The method we followed :

- Old leader kicks everyone
- New leader joins
- Old leader leaves 

Leadership will automatically be transferred 

Well for this to happen, You need to be connected with each other

I'm afraid nothing can be done to transfer leadership back if the new leader is ignoring you

 

this helps! wish i'd come on here earlier before the big boo boo lol

There is nothing that the devs can do. If you become the clan leader, there's pretty much no way to transfer leadership, and the only thing you can do is retire without changing leadership.

thanks for the heads up. didn't know that. i'm not exactly retiring, just figured that the clan mate i wanted to transfer leadership to could bring the clan to new heights

Hi I'm ShaunTheSheep in SM

I'm the leader of Awakening. Now, was the leader after a mistake I made.

Since there's no option to transfer clan leadership to a specific clan mate in the Leader's Control Panel, I read in the old forum some time back that I'd have to leave the clan and upon hitting the 'Leave Clan' button an option would pop up to choose a specific clan mate as the new leader.

Well, no option of any sort popped up and upon rejoining Awakening found that SM has auto-assigned a rather new clan mate as the new leader!

I've tried to reach the clan mate via clan chat in English and google translated Russian lol for about a little over a week, but no response.

Can anyone help? Is there an option or method that I'm not aware of or missed?

Thanks ShaunTheSheep
