Rimi is a mysterious lolcow that haunts the Rizon IRC network to demand the return of her lost savings. Her chatting is so autistic that many people, if not most, think she is a bot. She's haunted #8chan–the formerly official 8chan IRC channel–for about six months. She will appear in the evening hours, much like a ghost, under one of Rizon's anonymous Guest##### nicks, demanding the return of her saving from whoever sees her: she treats everyone on IRC is the same person who tormented her six years ago. She usually will not respond to questions, so your only source of new information about her is from her stream of consciousness flowing through Rizon.
I decided to try and solve the rimi mystery about a month ago. Here are my findings so far:
* She is not a bot, but an Indonesian woman. Her CTCP VERSION reply is AndroIRC, and her CTCP TIME reply is UTC+7. She has also briefly spoken in the Indonesian language in #8chan, using the word orang (person; as in orangutan, a forest person), and she has also defended tempeh, which is by far the nastiest soy product known to man.
* Her abusive boyfriend probably uses IRC. Indonesia has a thriving IRC culture, with both #jakarta and #bali on QuakeNet being more active than #8chan, and there's even a hilariously bad Indonesian music video about mIRC: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c6tw3UFvtuI
* The stolen savings are worth $134.
