What? You're just gonna assume it's an alt just like that? Don't be paranoid, nobody's that stu---
Nah, I made the call without that bit of info, since I never had Raen as a steam contact, but there were tons of factors that pointed to it being Raen.
Time of account creation was after Raen posted his request for account deletion in the Need Help? subforum.
The only post on the account was this one here in this thread.
The set is an anime girl with a katana, and from what I know of Raen he likes anime and has a weeaboo obsession with katanas.
The obvious reference to Raen being booted was highly suspicious.
The insult directed at the people who fought with Raen ("few too many children" meaning that people other than Raen were being immature in their eyes) was equally suspicious.
Someone coming in and saying the RP looked too dramatic and had too many children for their taste, but then going ahead and asking if they could join was inconsistent and weird.
The typing tone and style was rather similar to Raen's, including some typos he made frequently.
Just one of those things wouldn't have triggered the bullshit alarm, but all of them together? There was no doubt in my mind that it was Raen, and the name thing is just bonus evidence as far as I'm concerned.
