Rain6152

Rain6152 is said to be one of the greatest trolls in Current Events history. He is best known for pretending to be a female struggling against cancer until his true identity was exposed in May 2009.

Trolling
Rain6152 was involved in several trolling incidents.

"Terra"
In a bid to gain attention from his fellow CEmen, he pretended to be a girl with cancer, under the name Terra. A few users did not believe the story, but so-called White Knights claimed that Rain made a sign pic and that they knew her on a personal level. darkprince45 even begged for him to be his e-girlfriend.

After a fellow user named Xxetrof suicided two accounts with topics proving that Rain was actually a guy, the jig was up and Rain wrote a message about how he faked he was a girl all these years as part of a social experiment. He went on to say that peoples lives are like a game of chess to him and he enjoys ruining those lives by putting them in checkmate. Rain's account was put in purgatory for this and once it was restored to normal, he returned to CE and continued posting as if nothing happened. Though he was not welcomed back with open arms, though some people decided to forgive him for pretending to be a girl.

2010 Winter Olympics bet
During the 2010 Winter Olympics, he made a bet saying that he would leave CE if Canada lost the February 21 hockey game against the United States. In the end, Canada did indeed lose the game and Rain claimed he would live up to his bet, but some time later, he started posting again. Initially, he claimed that he remembers the bet but needed to come back to ask something. In another topic, he claimed that the bet was never made. He has also been spotted on the Persona 4 message board asking for action replay codes.

Rain's confession
Alright, I need to tell everyone the truth. This has gotten way out of hand, and taking up too much space here on CE. Yes, I'm a male and I always have been. I do not have cancer either. But I would like to tell everyone why I did this and why I came up with it. For a short answer, you can call it character development. I have always been drawn to seeking out how people deal with certain situations and how they treat different kinds of people. So I created this gimmick to see how people will deal with a well known user on a popular board deal with an attractive girl who has cancer. The laid back, rock chick next door. I feed on other people's reactions and feelings like a vampire I guess, I'm just drawn to see how others deal with situations like I said. Why do I do this you may ask, I did it this time for a story that I'm writing. I used a lot of you on here to help fuel this story, not your stories per say, but your emotions.

From the great people on this board that are nice and help other people, to that people who are don't care who they offend because they hide behind a S/N on here. I have helped many people on here, and I have pushed them the wrong way as well on purpose. You see, I don't only pay attention to what people do and talk with "Terra" about, but how they run and deal with there own real life. I will not give out names, but I will give a few examples of what I have seen. I have pushed for a guy to finally ask out that girl he liked a lot, but when they where in a relationship, I have him bad advice on purpose to see what kind of reaction he would get when it didn't work out. I got a person to stab a friend in the back, and give me lewd pictures of his friend, just to see if he would betray his friend. He did, because he liked "Terra". There are many other things like that I have seen and done over the year I have been "Terra", that might sound bad, but I have done good things as well.

I have helped someone get back in touch with his father that he had not spoken to for three years, I have helped someone find a job and gave that person info on how to come to be good at it. I have talked three people from killing themselves (They might now have been going to, I have seen people tend to do things like that to get attention.) I have stayed up late at night to just talk to someone who needed someone there to talk to. There have been other things that have gone by, but talking about the good and the bad things I have done would take way too much time.

So am I a bad person for doing this? I don't think so myself, but I think I may be a little biased. Yes, I admit that I used a lot of you for personal gain, to glance into your personally life just to help me get a better hold on people. That is what I do, I'm a writer and I go out in the field and get to know people. I will go to a bar, and talk with complete strangers and get to know them that way. I will hid in shadows of a corner of the same bar and just watch and see what people do. It is amazing what you can find out if you just keep your ears and eyes open. If there are any writers on here that need a little bit more depth on the human mind and reactions, I would suggest you do this as well. I dated a girl once, who was not very attractive that liked me a lot. I had her change herself a bit, but always gave her an option. She gave up some of her friends, she turned her back on some of her family and changed as a person. I didn't ask her to do any of that myself, I just lead her in that direction to see if she would fallow on her own. She did, and I gained some knowledge from that.

People's lives are like a game of chess to me in a way. I'm a playing the game and setting up pawns to place where I want them. Sometimes I will try my best to win, sometime I will throw the game and lose on purpose. I guess that sounds a bit harsh, to play some people like that, but it is what I do. I'm a very nice person, even though it might not sound like it now. I'm a nice person, because I have to be a nice person to do this. I have always had a gift for getting people to open up to me, and getting them to like me a lot. It is all about listening to acting on what you know. You have to know when to push that person, or when to know how to keep in going at a slow place.

So no, I'm not a woman and I don't have cancer. But to be honest, that is the only thing I have ever lied about on here. I'm still me and I will always be me. Sure after this I bet no one will look at me the same way anymore, but I will like to thank all the people that I have got to know personally on here for letting me into your head and thoughts and opening up your heart to me. I'm not going to go away from CE, I like this place. I don't need to lie and be someone else on here to see how some of you people act to others. I learn everyday from everyone on here, and it just fuels my books that much better.

So, that is the truth about me. There it is out in the open now. Terra's life was sure fun, I wonder what I will do now. I think it is good that I got called out by some guy on here that has nothing else to do but e-stalk someone. Yeah yeah, I'm sure that is what a lot of you think of me right now, but I'm not like that. I have a great life, I don't sit around all day on the computer. Like I said before, I'm a people person. I'm always out on the town or with a group of people. I have been ridding the Max a lot recently in Down Town Portland, that is a good place to get to know people. Water front is a great place as well. I wonder what I'm going to do next, but it won't be here. This gig is over with, that is why I said I was happy that I got called out before. It was running kind of dry to be honest.

To all my e-friends that I have spoke with over this past year, thank you. To think too badly of me please, you know that I'm a good person when it is all said and done.

tl;dr: Guy on CE fakes having cancer and being a girl as a social experiment to twist the minds of a bunch of people on CE.
