That's a very good point! I'm sure that the levels do not remain credited to the tribe, but I have never removed a tribe member from my tribe, so I had not run across the case you related. Since, I also went straight to making my own tribe, I had no experience of either possible way of being separated from the tribe.

To be fair to all concerned, I would say that if you get dropped from the tribe, that you should get to keep the levels through the next time you join a tribe. If, however, you leave the tribe voluntarily, then your levels stay there. Basically, the innocent victim(s) of the change get to keep the invested levels.

In related news, I have heard from BBB and they have recognized that there are some adjustments needed. I will add your situation to my existing case with them, so that they can account for it along with whatever other corrective measures and/or feature and enhancements they may see fit to make. The folks at BBB seem to be very responsive to feedback and have a good reputation for customer satisfaction, so I am going to reserve further judgement on matters until they have had a fair opportunity to address the issues raised with the Tribal aspects of the game.
