I don't understand what you're trying to say.

Either you allow taking, in which case you have to do scoring based on
the new user not the original user, or you don't allow taking in which
case scoring is easy but continuing games is hard because you can't
substitute.  Taking in a savegame isn't much different than taking in a
running game - even in a running game your player can be "taken over" by
another user if you happen to get disconnected for a moment (though
obviously few users would do this).
