The only exception I can see is where the GM believed their had been prior
collusion - ClL retires all his characters on turn 1 and drops, then turns
out to be the cousin of the Woodmen. I'd expect the GM to step in there.
banning the player concerned, and resurrecting the position or restarting
the game. Would anyone be that despicable though?
Actually, I have heard of such a thing. A friend of mine was playing in a
1650 game where very early on in the game one of the FPs (Cardolan I think)
challenged some very powerful WK characters with a whole bunch of no-hopers
who were almost certain to lose (and did) & also sent their entire treasury
to the WK capital. The person who told me this assures me that the other FP
had done nothing to antagonise the player in question & that it subsequently
turned out that the player lived very close to the WK player (might even
have been same street or house). I believe that the player in question was
replaced by the refs & the orders re-input. Maybe Harlequin can confirm
this?
In such an obvious case of collusion/cheating I think the refs would be
fully justified in intervening. In most other circumstances it wold be
difficult to justify intervening, albeit it might be very frustraing for
some players who had been backstabbed by their own allies.
