Well it seems that no message in the last week from the game in question had all the players addresses. My junk mail folder deletes messages after 7 days. However one stroke of luck was that one of the players in the game in question just happened to be the same person running the other game, the host who understood I was just letting him know what was what. He seems amenable enough, so I asked him if he could please pass on an explanation to the other players. I simply do not want them to think me a cheat.

It seems the host somehow got the idea I used the master password to access other empires and find their passwords. That is so obviously cheating that even as I tested to see if I had the master I avoided that route.
