Further update. I contacted online customer support. They chose to do nothing. I emailed the company directly. They chose to do nothing but to say they will edit the on line rules and it will update corrections in the next patch. I have still not been reinstated to leader ship of the alliance I created. As of this posting support fax rules say 7 days off line before your leader gets demoted. Actual in game mechanics it is only 3 days. Be aware of this if you want to be a leader. Uninstalled game
