It's far too easy. I misclicked, trying to lift something, and now I can't get back into my claim. There needs to be a confirmation; as it is there isn't even a message. And thanks to time zones, it will be 12 hours or more before anyone is on who can re-add me - plus we lost influence because of my accidental departure.
p.s. I don't suppose one of the developers would be willing to just undo that misclick for me, so I can play today?
