But doesn't that mean that there could only ever be a maximum of 103 
players ? (in this particular case that is)

I understand where you got the 15,895 points from but I don't understand 
why you think that is some sort of limit ???

If you run the code with 400 users it hangs at some arbitrary point
maybe 3 players, maybe 30. If you look at the output you see that  a 
players points appear to be the ones assigned to them plus the points of 
their helpers (I think) e.g

Spieler2:
Dumutef Guard   25
Rechets of Bogdan   50
Marcu Esenwein   20
Rechets of Bogdan   50
Your Points : 145

if you comment out the two places I mentioned earlier the result is 
exactly the same (points added together) but the program doesn't hang 
because this part of the
expression stillthere[help[whohelps]]!=0 is always true

e.g

Spieler392:
Dumutef Guard   25
Rechets of Bogdan   50
Ana Karithon   100
Your Points : 175

It's quite likely that I have the wrong end of the stick but I just 
can't see the point
of the stillthere array given that the OP seems to say that there can be 
(at least up to) 1000 players.

I've never really looked into game design/theory
