How Forced Impeachment works

Introduction

A practical guide to understanding activity status, voting requirements, and why many impeachment attempts fail.

Forced impeachment is one of the least understood alliance systems in Infinity Kingdom. The game does provide instructions in the alliance interface, but the wording leaves several important mechanics unclear—particularly how the game defines “active members” and which players actually count toward the vote.

Most failed impeachment attempts happen because alliances calculate the numbers incorrectly. Players often assume the vote is based on total alliance size, when the game actually calculates participation using activity status categories.

This guide explains the system clearly, focusing on the most confusing points:

  • What counts as an active member
  • Which members can vote
  • How the 80% participation rule works
  • How winning votes are calculated

The explanations are based on in-game text and observed behavior tested by alliances.


Who Can Start a Forced Impeachment

Only alliance members with the following ranks can initiate a forced impeachment:

  • R4 (Officer)
  • R5 (Alliance Leader)

Without an R4 or R5 initiating the process, the impeachment vote cannot begin.


Activity Status — The Most Important Mechanic

Every player in an alliance is automatically assigned an activity status based on their recent login behavior.

The game uses four activity categories:

Key Rule

Only Silent members are excluded from the impeachment system. All other statuses count as active members.

This means the impeachment system calculates participation using: Hyper + Active + Present

Silent accounts are completely ignored.


How the 80% Voting Requirement Works

For impeachment to succeed, at least 80% of active members must vote.

Active members are defined as:

Hyper + Active + Present

Silent members do not count toward the total.

Example

Alliance size: 100 members

Status distribution:

  • Hyper: 20
  • Active: 30
  • Present: 25
  • Silent: 25

Active member pool:

20 + 30 + 25 = 75 active members

Required voters:

75 × 0.80 = 60 votes required

If fewer than 60 players vote, the impeachment automatically fails.


Why “Present” Players Cause Confusion

Many community explanations incorrectly claim that only Hyper and Active players count. Testing and in-game behavior show this is incorrect.

Present members do count as active members and can vote.

This has two important consequences:

  1. Present players increase the total active member count
  2. They raise the 80% voting requirement

For example: If many players are “Present,” the alliance must gather more votes to reach the 80% threshold.


Winning the Vote — The 50% Rule

After the participation requirement is satisfied, the game checks the majority condition.

The candidate must receive: More than 50% of the votes cast.

Example: Votes cast: 60

Winning threshold: More than 30 votes

A candidate must receive 31 votes or more to become the new leader.


What Happens If Conditions Are Not Met

The system checks three failure conditions when the voting period ends.

Impeachment fails if:

1. Less Than 80% Participation

If fewer than 80% of active members vote, the impeachment is invalidated.

The current leader remains in position.


2. No Candidate Reaches 50%

If both candidates receive less than 50% of the votes, the leader stays unchanged.


3. Tie Vote

If both candidates receive the same number of votes, the current leader remains.


When the Vote Ends

The voting process ends when one of two things happens:

  1. All eligible members vote
  2. The voting timer expires

If everyone votes early, the result is calculated immediately.


Player Strategy and Practical Observations

From a practical alliance management perspective, the impeachment system is less about raw alliance size and more about controlling the active member pool.

Experienced alliances often pay attention to:

  • The number of Silent members
  • The number of Present members
  • Coordinating voting to reach the 80% threshold

Because Silent members are excluded from calculations, alliances sometimes remove or relocate inactive players before starting impeachment.

Similarly, alliances that control many active accounts can reliably meet the participation requirement and control the vote outcome.


The Core Formula

When calculating whether impeachment will succeed, alliances only need two numbers.

Active Member Pool

Hyper + Active + Present

Required Votes

Active Members × 0.80

Winning Votes

More than 50% of votes cast

Conclusion

Forced impeachment in Infinity Kingdom follows a straightforward system once the activity rules are understood.

The most important detail is how the game defines active members.

Active members include:

  • Hyper
  • Active
  • Present

Only Silent members are excluded.

From this active pool:

  • 80% must participate in the vote
  • The winner must receive more than 50% of the votes

Understanding these mechanics allows alliances to correctly calculate their voting requirements and avoid failed impeachment attempts caused by incorrect assumptions about alliance size or activity status.

    Introduction Dragon Portraits are one of those systems that look underwhelming at first glance, especially when you focus on a single level upgrade.
