Invictus is constantly changing and evolving. If you think you would be better as a Faction Leader then someone in power here are the things you need to do:

More than half the active faction members must align themselves with the mutinous party and those faction members must verify that with the Captain or the Vice Captain that they are.

Then the confirmation must be held within that faction's RP so that the current faction leader can try to regain the support of those involved.

If that fails and the majority of the faction members take the side of the mutinous party, the faction leaders reign ends and the leader of the coup is the new faction leader.
