Guild leadership change HELP

[asamdan]

Its been almost 3 monthhs since I started this. Im not sure if its KR or just no one in EA can get this thing to change. My guild leader quit over a year ago. Theres only 7 people in the guild who play anymore...all of them my characters. We voted and nothing happened. So we un-voted and voted someone different...nothing happened...so we brought in another player...voted again..nothing. I am the only emissary that palyes...everyone else thats voting is a member. Why cant I get this to work right? Is it maybe something to do with KR? I have e-mailed uo bugs and EA 3 times....I just keep getting their surveys and links to what to do, which I have already tried. ANYONE with any suggestions would so much appreciated.

If you have a 2/3 majority (inactive characters included), you should page a Gamemaster and they will switch it manually.

It doesn't matter if chars or active or not to change the leadership.

Demote all the inactive chars you can (that is not the GM, warlords or emissaries) to ronin. If there are 7 of your chars then you need to deomote all but 3 of the rest.

Then you should be able to become GM, maybe after a delay.

Choosing a new Guild Leader
The Guild Leader voting system allows guild members to determine their Guild Leader. You can cast your vote a new Guild Leader by selecting a guild member on the Guild Roster page.

Guild Leader voting details and restrictions:

Guild members do not have to vote for anyone, but they are still counted towards the total number of votes in the guild. Voting for no one is effectively voting for the current Guild Leader.
Guild members cannot vote for an inactive player.
Guild members cannot vote for the current Guild Leader.
Whenever an active guild member's vote becomes illegal, their vote defaults to none.
If a guild member becomes inactive, their vote is no longer valid, nor are they counted towards the total number of votes when determining a majority.
Votes are not known to anyone but the individual guild member. The voting tally is also not known to anyone through the guild interface itself - though they can always tally it by asking the other guild members and adding it up themselves.
Guild members may change their vote any number of times.
Who you are voting for is indicated by an asterisk ( * ) after that guild member's name. For example, if you are voting for Bob, you would see Bob's name listed as "Bob *" in the guild roster.
When a guild member other than the current Guild Leader achieves a 2/3 majority of the votes, they will replace the current Guild Leader.
If a Guild Leader deletes their character, the guild member with the most votes becomes the new Guild Leader. In the case of a tie, a winner will be selected randomly.
If a Guild Leader is voted out of their position, they are demoted to the rank of Member.

Well, I have a char, which is the only remaining active member of the historical important (so leaving is no option) guild. Since he is in "member" status, he can do nothing - he cannot get new members in, which would be able to vote, he cannot vote for himself as guild leader with success, since the inactive members still count forward in the percentage count.
"If a guild member becomes inactive, their vote is no longer valid, nor are they counted towards the total number of votes when determining a majority."
Instead not counting in the total number of votes the total number of members should be reduced to the active members in counting for determining the majority.
