Re: [werewolf] Password abuse in game 229

["The One Ring" <theres.only.one.ring.to.rule.them.all@gmail.com>]

I've been away from the pc while typing this email, so I first missed
the emails that followed after flig's email. I saw them now, but still
wanted to send this email, just to have a reaction that everyone could
see.

I'm glad you emailed me personally as well to tell me you're sorry,
but I also still feel bad about what you did, so I still want to send
the email I was writing before...

Like flig said: Uncool!

I really detest the way you used my password, not only because of the
influence on the game but for not just telling me what I did in error
instead of just using it in some weird way to tell me what I had done.
And I'm really just flabbergasted that you not only did that, but also
threw my password onto the server for everyone (in this game) to
see...

Not much more I can say about it...
