Got to this point you have no return and your credibility is at stake
(for what is worth).

You know Piranha, people can get malicious - I have got 2 friends of
mine too. As of right now they're wondering whether some high-rank PG
officials may have already privately contacted you and started juicy
negotiations to keep your database away from the public. Hence such a
suddenly reluctance, technical and otherwise.

May I suggest you make a simple script that scans your files and
writes "Piranha" wherever it finds your or your friend's nicknames,
and then publish them.
Or, carefully assess how much your database may be worth to PG.

Your choice, buddy.

Well Grunty,
I did receive mail, but not from PG.
After I´ve opened the topic it is real easy for any active PG player
to run a set of analysis on their own and it doesn´t require 100.000
games to compare my findings to their own results.
So there is no point in PG contacting me, whether I publish proof or
not doesn´t matter to them anymore, compared to the amount of
reactions I got, I´d say this story will go it´s way, no matter what I
do or say now.

I could have told you in advance, PG won´t contact me on this one, but
those mails come from the players.
I got 2 mails from players who knew me before and one I have never
been in touch with before, all 3 of them can be found in the giants
list.
We haven´t talked about my findings, so I don´t know their opinion
about it, but they all asked me NOT to publish my database, I guess I
don´t have to explain their motivation.

As for my credibility, according to Rich that isn´t worth a dime
anyway.
As I said somewhere else in this thread, I ment to share the
information, but I never ment to actually do anything about it.
