Who is Maiden Abigail?

Hello,

who is Maiden Abigail, Squire Edwin, Maiden Marjoria?

Is this from Goko or is this some new kind of exploit?

The goko bots have become self-aware and are rising against us.

Okay, you got me, I had some time spare and thought I'd try out a couple of alts. 

I've no idea who the Squire Edwin guy is though.

Any news on this apparent bug? Now it seems like most of the top 100 is filled by "Adventure bots" and unknown players; Stef is only at #74 and SharkBait at #62  :o

The "play bots" button on the homepage used to default to casual games so that the Salvager kingdom generator worked. If all those games are retroactively used for pro rankings as it appears happened, then someone who took advantage of Lord Bottington's Rats play could now have a very high ranking. Not sure to what extent this may be a factor.

That would be an explanation, especially since most of the "top players" are not listed on Isotropish. But then they should have all appeared at the same time on the pro board, I'd expect. (Was the button changed yesterday or earlier?)
And why would MF retroactively change the status of past pames just because they changed the button used? You could always play bot pro games in the multiplayer lobby. Well, they're Goko's heirs...  ::)

Adventure games count towards Pro ranking right now, they don't even change the Adventure ranking.

So, if I were to grind the adventures over and over, I could overtake Stef on the leader board.  ::)
