It gives the impression of a targeted sabotage

Or is it a coincidence? a bug in the Game?

There were similar reports before, some kind of bug. Hope you'll get a more detailed response from someone else soon.

These are not random moves. someone does not recognize that this is not his account. is that possible?

yeah, there was some weird mixup in the past where people were accidentally logged in as other people. it happened once to me and I just logged out and re-logged in as myself. Hopefully they notice when it comes to your case.

It seemed fixed at one point, but yeah, it's back, when I log out on my phone, I'm suddenly JJX1. And yeah, the people who move for you probably don't realise that these are not their own games.

i think it is not difficult to recognize to see that the game is not your own game. but someone makes moves the for me who lead to a defeat or someone even resignes for me.

I'm sorry that people do that. It's true that they should notice. And I don't know if there isn't someone who does in on purpose. But I still think it's likely no one intends to harm you. Someone who resigns your games, I imagine he thinks "I didn't start these games, I don't even play Twixt. These games are wrong!"
I've sent the webmaster another message, hope it helps.

So sorry to hear that this has happened to you. What do you want to do about our game?

Thanks Mik. I have no other choice. I can`t cancel the last move someone else made for me.

This "It seemed fixed at one point, but yeah, it's back, when I log out on my phone, I'm suddenly JJX1. " happened to me also.

Of course I did not make a move.

thanks Florian . i believe that.
there seem to be several people who suddenly play on my account. are there others having the same problem?

if you had made the moves this wouldn’t lead to a defeat..;)

It seems like there's a roving curse that affects a different person in turn; I'm not sure there's been more than one person affected at the same time. Several people have been affected previously, and several others have reported being able to make moves in those accounts' games. I haven't been on either end of this, fortunately. I think there was a strong indication it was related to using the app (which I never have) and possibly the mobile site (which I've done rarely, and never since this began happening, just to be safe).

I mostly play EWN on my phone. Sometimes I play on my windows 11 laptop. I noticed at least twice that right after I logged in, a game (not EWN) from someone else was presented and where I could have moved if I wanted to. After a refresh or so I suddenly found my own games. The last time this happened was last week.
