Well, I have done some of my own research, and indeed it looks like Reza had two accounts going at the same time! Both used for playing games, as well as other activities.... I have noticed for example that his "expired" profile has a ponds rating of 2193, not very high as far as pond ratings go, yet his now active pond rating is at 2444, high enough to place him at 14th in the rankings!

It is disconcerting to say the least, and leads us to wonder if other people are pulling the same type of "scam"?

Czuch Czuckers: I don't know the whole story - but with his old account, he lost access to BrainKing for a while (over a month?) and timed out on a lot of games - so when he came back, he wanted to start fresh without all the timed-out loses. I believe he only plays the "expired" account to finish the games which did not time out, but has not started any new games with that account. Again, don't know the exact story, but that is what I know.

BIG BAD WOLF:That is exactly what happened. I didn't have access to the internet and even my vacation days ran out. Harley lent me some of hers, but they didn't suffice either and I resigned all the games that hadn't already timed out in and asked Fencer if I could have a new account. I thenforth have refused all invitations to new games and am just finishing the backgammon games in a prize tourny. I need the prize for a friend.
