I decided to clear out my faction of inactive players, and the game suddenly said "Not enough permission!" and kicked me from the faction, despite the IGN holding the rank of Founder. Anyway, I thought to myself "Ok, seems legit..." so I ended up going to my alt account, which was also the rank of founder, and checked the member list, sure enough I was listed there. Then the game repeated itself and kicked my other alt from the faction, meaning that now the only person with founder perms is my friend who is listed as inactive.
