there was no 1 full leader, all founders have equal rights, so any one of them can remove everyone else bar their fellow founders. As i understand it, Mad Rappa was away to long without going to vmode and his cities began being taken by our enemies, that cant be allowed to happen so his cities began to be cleared to be taken back into the DAFT fold. Unfortunately there was a misunderstanding and it all turned into the clusterf**k from hell. DAFT was a great alliance to be a part of but what the hey, its just a game and a good shake up makes things a bit more interesting every now and then.
