Apparently player "MarmaIade" ( http://www.kongregate.com/accounts/MarmaIade ) has 19 renown according to Kongregate's high score list. Any idea how this happens?
Either it's a bug or he's cheating. He could be one of those guys who also have all of the Steam achievements for all games ever. I guess the Kong High Scores API might be abusable just like the Steam Achievements one.
As I recall, renown 18 got put in before the first expansion released, so maybe something slipped through in preparation for the next one during one of the updates. Or perhaps when renown was first added ( 17+2 = 19) it wasn't properly capped. Though when it comes to people exploiting systems, betting against the possibility is ill-advised. -.-
Pretty sure the user joined when it opened to Konge and he probably exploited Konge or CH to get the 19.
