Has “rainchikki” changed her username to “racinchikki”? Because “racinchikki” is the name I just saw in MPSIMS. I did some searching. There seems to be only “racinchikki”, no “rainchikki”.
Possibilities:
1: It was always “racinchikki”, I was just seeing “rainchikki”, I look like an idiot for posting this.
2: She did change it, as I know others have changed theirs. An odd username change, but none of my beeswax.
3: ???

It’s option 1, I’m afraid. 🙂

HEY! Didn’t your name used to be **Codfire**? When did you change it? And _why_? 😕😕😕

Huh.
[I}I\* always thought it was spelled **Codflier**.
Anyhoo, you should change it back.

The third possibility is that she used to be named **Opal**.

What can I say? My brain takes the information provided by my eyes, and interprets it into a pattern. Sometimes it’s lazy. 😃

A lot of people have misread my name as “rainchikki”. You’d think that you’d ask me, though! I didn’t even know about this until **Gunslinger** pointed it out to me. 🙂
