This happened to me once. There was a Spanish person playing under my username on a cracked server. I guess it was just because 'Ceroria' sounds very Spanish and he decided to search it up. I was scared to death when I first saw the video and changed all of my passwords, but found out that it was just a cracked server so he could disguise as me. :p

Haha, my impersonator is also spanish (not sure but assuming as he spoke in spanish aha). I'm really hoping that he was nick'ed or he was on a cracked server :p

Skull_Bow If you believe your account has been compromised, it might be a smart choice to:
1) Have staff ban the account, so that the user doesn't break rules on it.
2) Change the password, and any other personal information.

Also, impersonation of staff or popular people is disallowed:
11. Do not mislead people: Do not mislead people into learning false information that will trick them into doing something idiotic.

Example:
  1. Do alt f4 for diamonds
  2. Do /kill at start to see your kill stats
  3. Non-staff: I’m a moderator!
  4. do /v for free sword at start

  • Messages about alt+f4 or ctrl+w are not allowed.
  • Lying to people so you can get a map voted is not allowed.
  • Telling people to do /kill is not allowed.
  • Impersonating staff or famous people will not be tolerated.

If he is using your real account on a real server I would assume he only knows your email and password login, he will not be able to change your password for your account without being able to get into your email. Just make sure your email and Minecraft accounts don't have the same password and you'll be fine.

that's incorrect.

the stress would naturally fall on the o, because in words ending in vowels the stress goes on the penultimate syllable, but the 'ia' is a dipthong so counts as only one syllable.
