You all do know it's pretty easy to play in different ways across different accounts to hide that you're the same person, right?
But why
There's nothing that says that a fake can't beat the real thing.

You must not imagine that for beings like you and us there can be laughter. The low men laugh, and we envy them. But for us, the higher ones, there is no laughter, only an unending vigil, purely serious, stretching on into the night.

But why did they suspect him in the first place?
Also, what is NM doing? Worst play I’ve ever seen.
I can't remember the last N_M post that wasn't bland, unimaginative and lame. Some shitposters are at least somewhat funny. You are the epitomy of the type of poster that nobody would miss if you were to suddenly disappear. You never add anything of value.
I'm guessing you haven't read the game and probably never will? Why even sign up to play?

Expedience seemed level headed and intelligent. Ira seemed like a VI newb with no intention of improving.

I got the opposite impression, honestly.

Expedience seemed pretty cool, but ira seemed like a jerk.

It makes sense though cause in two different games Ira/Experience both had the same reason for scum reading me and it's a reason I've never been called out on before but it was accurate.
is this where I tell you to swipe right

I mean, why would we give away how we caught someone? Just makes it less likely to happen next time.

Funnily enough this email brought me back having not been around for a while - mainly because I honestly didn't remember what my password here was so wasn't sure how significantly I would be affected.

Turns out not very. Unless they want my old Club Penguin account, too.

You're looking at it backwards. Kison didn't go "hey, Expedience might be the hacker" and then set out to find evidence of it, he said "hey, this is how the hacker might have acted" and then set out to find evidence (which happened to point to Expedience).

Update:
The person responsible for this has been identified and removed from the site. .

As mith mentioned earlier, the person responsible was able to gain unauthorized access to an administrator's account. In the process, they left a post indicating how they had done so. We keep thorough logs of site activity, and by making some educated guesses about what the guilty party was doing prior to the attack, we were able to identify one individual whose activity indicated guilt beyond reasonable doubt.

Since we know they downloaded data from the site, our primary goal was to do everything possible to ensure it would be erased. Unfortunately, none of the information on their account identified who they were outside of this site. The past week has been spent tracking down that information relentlessly with great success. I may write more about that another time, but I'd like to thank
chamber
for being amazing as always and
MrBuddyLee
for helping with some quality scumhunting(though he was saying he was sure it was Glork all along) and listening to me ramble.

The guilty individual and I spoke and they were adamant that the stolen data has been deleted. We are looking into pursuing legal action to ensure that does in fact happen.

Lastly, we're taking measures to prevent this from occurring again. The method through which the data was downloaded is a feature of phpBB, the software running this message board. It has since been removed. All administators' passwords have been changed, and we will be looking into additional security for access to restricted areas of the site.

Thanks for reading,
Kison
Thanks for all your hard work, all. <3
