If the township leader is not playing the game for too long, the leader's role can be transferred to the most active player in the township. Therefore it is important for leaders who want to save their position to play the game at least from time to time to show that they still want to participate in the life of their township.
The players who are in the township with an inactive leader will have a chance to get a special letter to their in-game mailbox which will offer them to compete for the leader's position. The player who scored the biggest number of cups for the festival will become a new township leader. However, this opportunity is rare for now, and the letters will be sent out randomly. But if you are playing in the township with an inactive leader and haven't received such a letter yet, don't feel upset, you will have a chance to get it next time.
