sorry pal. got a pm so i answered it.
what can he (or someone else, this guy might well be bona fide after all  ) do with it. They can pick up a stolen phone, which has a blocked iMEi, and change that one to your, non-blocked IMEI for one thing.
Then he sells on that phone to some unsuspecting sod. And it gets stolen again. The unsuspecting sod reports it stolen and has the IMEI barred 
And suddenly your phone stops working
Granted, the odds are probably against this little story here 
But like I said, I am not comfi giving it out unless I see a compelling reason to do so. testing a game just isn't compelling enough

Heh, interesting version.
At first. If you know anything about mophun system, you should know, that developers can't create mobile version that can run on ANY phone, they can create version bounded to IMEIs they have certified for only.
Developer can certify only for IMEIs, that on the Synergenix database, so to create version for any device, developer must send IMEI to them. This is how mophun certification system works.
For newbies on mophun system, read the mophun.com documents and forum.
At second.
Don't you think that for gathering IMEIs there are many less complicated methods?
For example, there are lots of old devices, that no one will use, they all have, I think, valid number.
At third.
Have you read anything on site I have pointed for?
I think information on it should be enough to make assumption, that guys there developing a game, not doing anything another, isn't it?

...and of course we respect your privacy, but we can't see other method to create version, that works on the phone.
Who want to check that I'm a mophun developer - you can go to forum at mophun.com and check information for user "sanyok" - that I have a status of Premium Developer.

Ok, I got it... but in my non-programmer view I think You should another platform as java m8. I dont know how many people will give their IMIs but I guess they won`t be so much.
Peace m8

of course i read your site.
I do not know a whole lot about mophun and I quite frankly, I have only ever once purchased a Mophun game back when I had my t300, which now won't run on my new phone (with diff IMEI) so to be completely honest with you, I think the IMEI-connection by mophun is a pain in the **** to begin with.
There's gotta be a more user-friendly way to secure your games against piracy then IMEI-linking imho.

Well it is opinions against mophun, not against us.
As platform mophun in some cases better than java.
It is fully optimized to game creation.
And Java on all soneric phones is very slooow, if you have see benchmark. For Nokia there are mobile port of original Worms game, but for SE there is no one.

Hello guys,
We proud to present you new version of Microwar game: beta 0.9
We have fixed some bugs (yes, the list is not so small,
and I don't remember every bug, so I will not enumerate them).
We have enabled background code, have added additional map-level handling.
How to use it:
- Download archive with .mpn and .mpc's
- Certify .mpn for your device
- Rename .mpc files, so that they fit your device.
On mobile, they must be named:
Microwar_microw0_mpc.mpc
Microwar_microw1_mpc.mpc
or game will not find it.
For emulator, you must use default names:
microw0.mpc
microw1.mpc
- In game settings, you must AT FIRST choose your model in options
(emulator, sony-ericsson, nokia), or you will get broken controls.
List of KNOWN bugs (have no time to fix it or they require more
than 30min for each):
- Some problems with sounds: sometime one sound plays instead of another etc.
- Problems with secondary map loading: when game is finished, you cannot load
second map, as it says, that not enough memory.
- Sometime problems with AI: it makes invalid decision about walking to your unit,
to hit him, and can't solve that plan.
- Flying mode is not so beutiful as it can be: new problem, that not arise on
emulator.
Welcome!
