You may run into trouble in a couple of of ways, one is that some stats programs will fail if the steam id is invalid (does not follow the correct id syntax), also if you use a valid steam id you should try and make it so it cannot cause duplicates with real players, I suggest you use something like STEAM_x:nnnnnnn where STEAM_x is something that never shows up in a game eg, STEAM_9:9
