# 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 Family death

A family will automatically die if there are no users assigned to following roles:

* Don
* Consigliere
* Capodecina
* Successor

When a Don dies, the Successor  automatically becomes Don. If the successor dies, without appointing a new successor, then the Consigliere will automatically be promoted to Don.. If the Consigliere dies, and still no successor defined, then the Capodecina becomes Don.\
\
If the Capodecina dies, and there are not defined any other top 3 roles or new successor.. Then the family dies.\
\
A family dies, when there is no defined user to promote into the Don position.  \
\
Note: When a user is promoted into the Don position, they automatically obtain 2 hours safehouse. This means the new Don has a small window of time to recoup the family, and protect it.\
