So I had a guy spam some gates and I remember that I killed him, well I was going through the event log to get some screenshots of our battles for the era and I noticed something. A player called ‘Val Cline’ I had apparently conquered (Which doesn’t exist?), now I can’t go to their colony, but for some reason when I open the BR it shows ‘moriart’, the actual guy that I hit…
I also notice there’s some gaps in the event log (Likely from the migration, possibly?) some players aren’t appearing in some battles where there were more than 1 player, and etc.
Perhaps he changed his name? It’s also worth mentioning that Colony name and Ruler name are two separate things in the game, there’s a multitude of reasons why they can differ. This even could have been on an outpost, that was formally an AI named Val Kline.
Inherited side effect of removing colony names from the game in 2010 or so.
