I still don't understand how you do this. Did he hack an account?
So when I played on S-Z, I played mostly under Damiac14. Nobody can play as damiac14 on S-Z without knowing my password.
However, I never registered a damiac14 account on CAO. So if I had a streak going, and someone went to CAO and created an account called Damiac14, and lost, my streak would be broken, because the database pulls from a large list of servers.
Apparently there are a LOT of servers that database pulls from, so if the person with a streak hasn't registered his account on all those servers, anybody could come and register under that name, messing up that person's record.
I can see how this sort of drama would turn a person off doing a thankless favor to the community. I hope the games in progress can be transferred elsewhere, or even just uploaded en mass so we could pull the file and play locally, but I'm not even sure webtiles saves are compatible with local installation saves.
