Abstract

A method for the unambiguous personal association of at least one autonomous storage unit (10) with at least one player in a score keeping device (20) in order to store at least one status of a game, especially a computer game, network game, or trading card game, is characterized in that an unambiguous identification feature that is effective in the game environment is allocated in a way clearly indicating the player's action to a game status, particularly an amount of properties of a game piece created and/or guided by the player and/or an amount of game situations created and/or managed by the player within the group of players detected by the score keeping device, the game status being created and/or managed by the player, being stored in the at least one autonomous storage unit, and unambiguously identifying the player.
