I suspect the idea was for this to be a rather harmless easteregg/backdoor allowing the author to play pranks on people using CombatAnalysis - but the three names were reserved on only one server. Someone read the code, created characters with those names on another server and used this to harass someone. This is not unheard of, easteregss becoming unintended exploitable features.

If there was a check for servername together with the player name check, only the author's account would have ever been able to use this, and maybe nobody would have ever noticed.
