Throne of Cofain - pbem.dk house rulesThe house rules do not change the rules of the game itself; these can be found in the rulebook and the scenario description. The purpose of the house rules is to outline objective criteria for determining if the position of a player has become untenable and the player therefore can throw in the towel and get his or her remaining game credit converted to "unused game credit" (see the pbem.dk shop FAQ for more on this).Below is specified the rules for when each position is still considered tenable. As long as a position is tenable according to these rules you will not get your game credit converted to unused game credit if you drop the position. If for some reason you wish to drop the position anyway you can try to find a replacement player yourself. The replacement player can take over your remaining credit if you can sort out any compensation between you, or he or she can buy a token for the game in the shop and use this for taking over your position, in which case your remaining credit will be converted to unused game credit. When a position is no longer considered tenable according to the rules below you have the option of dropping out and have your remaining credit converted to unused game credit. You may of course elect to continue even with a formally untenable position if there are still things you would like to do in the game.
