chess.net -- Birth of ramjin
After I got banned as TheNinja on chess.net, I made a dupe on chess.net. I chose a rather obvious dupe name... to poke fun at Truong. It was RonaldMcDonald. There is another RonaldMcDonald now on chess.net (and it's NewFoundGlory's dupe)... But I was raping people in lightning and even made 20 moves in 1 second to the utter shock and amazement of people there. This brought Truong's attention and I was quickly caught by Aardvark as a dupe of TheNinja but as this was in the days of free dialup, I was using a new free dialup service to log on. Aardvark couldn't prove it and I quickly talked my way out of a banning.
But what happened was that I had to change my name from RonaldMcDonald. To the current "ramjin" since I told him my name was Rain Ramjin. Go figure. Take a look at ramjin's comments later on in the Truong files to verify my claim.
Of course... ramjin wasn't as good as the ULTIMATE DUPE... Rainbo...
Rainbo had a wild rating of well over 2700 established, and was banned THEN remplayered. I then made obinar and got an even more ridiculous rating, in the 2900 range. All of this came from owning people at chess.net, no abuse was involved!
